Ahhh I was soooo excited to have a Vietnamese place in Stouffville finally. I came here for the first time and here are my thoughts so far:
1) Spring rolls: We ordered the fried spring rolls and unfortunately, there were way too many bean sprouts in there. That's just not how they're supposed to be - I'm not sure if they were trying to cater to a more "Western" taste with the sprouts but I wasn't impressed. Without the sprouts, it was actually quite good. The fish sauce was, however, a little watered down and for them to just be starting out, you'd think they would have tried to start their game stronger.
2) Pad Thai (beef): Again, way too many sprouts. They also incorporated the sprouts. The beef really lacked any flavour and the lowest quality cuts were used in there. The pad thai had a bit of a kick of spice to it but really lacked in flavour - it was a bit bland.
3) Chicken fried rice: The chicken fried rice was decent - they used white meat in there, which was nice. I added fish sauce to a bit of the rice to make it a bit more flavourful but otherwise, it was okay
To be quite honest, I really hyped myself up. I think I finally thought there was going to be a decent Viet place here but as of right now, I think I still have to go down to Markham's Pho Metro. I'm willing to give the actual Pho a try again but so far, I'm a bit underwhelmed.
