Why hadn't I heard about this before! I came across this dish listed on menus in many Vietnamese places in San Francisco so I was desperate to try it. Kim Bo Restaurant seems to be the only place in Toronto that has it.\n\nB\u00F2 7 m\u00F3n courses are:\n\n1. B\u00F2 nh\u00FAng dm: Raw slices of beef to be cooked in a heated broth \n2. B\u00F2 nng h\u00E0nh: Strips of beef rolled around a piece of scallion \n3. B\u00F2 nng m ch\u00E0i: Ground beef rolled in caul \n4. B\u00F2 l\u00E1 lt: Ground beef rolled in a Lolot leaf \n5. B\u00F2 ch \u00F9m: Beef patties served with rice crackers \n6. Gi b\u00F2: a stir-fry made with carrot, daikon, and celery salad with small cubes of beef \n7. B\u00F2 ch \u00F9m: Beef patties served with rice crackers Ch\u00E1o B\u00F2: Beef Congee \n\nAll this is served with a big plate of greens, bean sprouts, cucumber, carrots, vermecelli noodles and rice paper. The first 6 dishes can be assembled (DIY style) into rice paper rolls. You also get a small hotpot of broth to cook the first dish.\n\nI am simply amazed. ALL 7 dishes were good. Number 6 was my least favourite, but it was still decent. The other 6 dishes were ALL tasty. Number 2, 3 and 4 were my favs. Yum.\n\nAs a bonus, this feast costs $25 and feeds 2-3 people. They will allow you to add an additional \"half\" order for an extra $10, so 3 of us yelpers feasted for $35 plus tax and tip.\n\nI'm surprised others referred to this place as a \"dive\". Honestly - for a typical Vietnamese restaurant in downtown Toronto, the decor was okay and it was very clean inside. Quite spacious too. Service was friendly and effecient. Quiet inside on a Friday evening.\n\n5 stars for the 7 course beef because it was delicious and extremely unique in Toronto. I will be back, but there's no way I'm trying anything else. Don't be stupid and get pho, you can get that anywhere!"^^ . . . "5"^^ .
