Pros:
-Best Pho in GTA
-Great prices, huge portions (I dare you skinny people to finish an XL pho without feeling sick aftewards)
-One of the very few places that serve Banh Cuon
-Little to no MSG in the pho soup yet still one of the best
Cons:
-Franchised locations do not live up to the quality of this location which I think is the original.
-I live more than 5minutes away from this place.... but this could be a Pro because if I lived closer I'll die from stuffing myself everyday.
I've been to over 20 pho places in the GTA and this is still my favourite. I'm a regular visitor since I first discovered it about 3 years ago and I'm willing to drive all the way from Scarborough for a proper pho fix from this place.
The Scarborough location of pho dau bo is a joke, the soup doesn't taste half as good and is full of MSG. I think this is the original location of the franchise because it's run by Vietnamese ppl, always busy and the soup has little to NO MSG.
Also, it's one of the very few places that serve Banh Cuon which are Vietnamese steamed rice rolls with ground pork inside, dipped in fish sauce.
Oh ya, if you order take away they'll pack the soup in a separate container so the noodles don't get soggy. They also wrap the rare beef in saran wrap so it doesn't bleed over your other meat/noodles, very nice touch!
