My Vietnamese friend brought me here under the premise that this was one of the best, if not the best, Vietnamese places in Toronto. She was not exaggerating.
The food:
- bun bo hue: really different (in a good way) from all the bun bo hue's I've had in the past. Super generous portions of higher quality meat. It even has trotter! A lot of Vietnamese places seemed to taken them out of their bun bu hue's (someone told me it is really difficult to clean). The broth is flavourful without that overwhelming MSG feel. If I was Vietnamese, this is the type of dish that I imagine my Vietnamese grandma would make me.
- caramel flan: my first time having a flan (or having flan?) It was quite enjoyable though, not overwhelmingly sweet like I find most desserts.
May I also add that it is probably the nicest looking Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. Not that I am a stickler for decor, as the way to my five star heart is through my stomach...but just a tip if you're in the mood to be fancy for pho.
