Stopped in because the location was convenient while running some errands and picked up a bowl of Satay Beef Soup to go. The restaurant was very clean and had a retro feeling to the decor, complete with old-timey metal diner style napkin dispensers. My order was taken quickly and they took the time to offer me a few options so that it would be just right. (For their regular presentation the beef in this dish is offered raw, however they provide the option to have it cooked a little if that is your preference).
When I got home, I was so pleased to find generous portions of fresh, delicious food. The taste was great, the veggies, limes and herbs fresh and crisp, the beef was tender and flavourful and just melted in my mouth. The other thing I liked about their takeout was the dish they provided. It is a dish that would be easy to use if one ordered it for an office lunch/dinner or if dishes were not an option, and was not the standard takeout offering other places provide. A nice touch! The prices are really reasonable. It is definitely my new favourite place on 17th Avenue for Vietnamese!
