| - Found this spot on Yelp when I was looking for somewhere with more than pho in the Yonge/Finch area. When you have a craving for pho, it needs to be fulfilled! But I also wanted something more hearty as well, then I spied curry on the menu. Curry + pho, must go.
So, a group of 4 of us went here on a Friday around ..almost 11pm. The place was packed. We got seated at the only table that was left (woohoo!)
We ordered-
Curry with roti (#110)
Shrimp/chicken/egg house fried noodles (#090)
Greens ( gai-lan ) with oyster sauce (#151)
Goat brisket curry and roti (#107)
A plain pho (#052) & house special pho (#042) - the large is HUGE, FYI.
Although the food took a little while to come out as the restaurant was busy, our table was near the kitchen window. We were distracted and intrigued by the speed of cooking/watching food coming out, which helped to simmer the *why is this taking so long* comments from our hungry, hungry selves.
As soon as food started coming to the table and everyone had first-tastes, there were no complaints (this is rare with our group)-- and then everything was instantly being demolished.
Both curries were a huge hit, mild but flavorful. The roti was incredible, in fact, I am almost drooling just thinking about it. The sizes for the pho bowls were larger than other restaurants, definitely no complaints there either!
The waitress was super friendly towards us and seemed very capable of handling a full restaurant of people and being the only server - kudos.
I do have to admit that we were slightly annoyed because they set forks down in front of us assuming we did not know how to use chopsticks. We looked around and noticed no-one else had forks, so... yeah there was that.
Anyhow, overall good experience and good food so we will be returning for sure.
