| - Without question, if the name doesn't get you the food certainly will.
This is an up n' coming new place. The owner Dat, is young and certainly understands both humor and great Vietnamese cuisine. This is a family run business and the dishes are nothing short of outstanding!
Dat's sister and cousin also work there. The atmosphere and decor is very clean, new and modern - a far cry from places which have been around far too long without a facelift or a new coat of paint.
But enough about the decor, let's talk food!
Bonnie and I arrived with a healthy appetite and Nicole (sister) made some wonderful recommendation. She suggested we try their broth because as anyone who likes pho (pronounced "fa"), can attest that the broth either makes or kills this dish. Their broth is layered with many, many subtleties and very well reduced. This means that it neither looks, nor tastes, watered down like so many other places.
As far as dishes, we shared the meat combo, the cuts of chicken, pork belly and short ribs are so flavorful and thankfully the portions are normal (read: not American). As we are trying to lay off the carbs, we had a compliment of veggie dishes including the bell peppers; king oyster mushrooms and grilled eggplant. YOU HAVE GOT TO TRY DAT's sauces. They are again, ranging from delightful burn to a silky smooth peanut satay of his own design.
We had been looking for a new place to replace our old one, since we moved to North York. This place is now our "IT Place.
You gotta eat here!
