For what it is, it's OK: a franchise, owned and operated by Chinese people instead of Viet, located in the burbs. The menu quite extensive but the fact that its only in English and Cantonese speaks to thr lack of authenticity. Being a Vietnamese person, I find it hard to fathom a so called Viet restaurant in the GTA, that would have the audacity to not have Viietnames decriptions on the menu.
The renovation makes the place look nicer to keep up with Pho Bistro which opened next door, i suppose.
The Pho broth isnt bad but they skimp on the bean sprouts and basil. I like the fresh soft noodles but it's not to everyones liking.
The place Is in my rotation of restaurants but only because it's nearby and has decent pho for when i need a quick fix or need more variety than the usual pho places can offer up.
