Decent Viet noodle place. Interior of the restaurant is clean. No greasy smudges, no foods or garbages on the floor, no sticky sauce containers. It is a very well organized place. There are some giant mirrors in the restaurant, and they were immaculate and absolutely spotless. Tables are large, and there is decent amount of space between tables to give privacy. The food came out quickly, but server was not attentive at all.
The beef rice noodle soup was good. Not excellent, but not terrible either. I wouldn't mind eating there again. The noodle did not have artificial plasticky flavors. Unpleasant slippery texture was minimal. The beef was a bit tough. But there were lots of beef in the soup. The broth didn't really have aromatic scent. It wasn't salty, but I couldn't really find the deep flavor of the meat broth.
The spring roll was very good. It didn't have soggy texture. Instead it had nice crispy dressing on the outside and with soft texture of fillings inside. It had clean taste unlike some spring rolls I tasted at pho places. The size was a nice bite size too.
The restaurant has Italian restaurant decor. Interesting. -

A regular Vietnamese Pho with no bells or whistles. Average food quality.

Note to self: if a place is almost empty during dinner time, trust your gut and stay away.
The pho places i've been in always had only a couple of tables free left when I got there, so when I saw this place almost empty I immediately wanted to turn back. Unfortunately, I was overruled by the group which meant I got to try another one of those places that I visit once vowing never to return.
The pho at best was average. Didn't come with basil which is what I get everywhere else. I should not have to ask for it. Felt like the beef broth was diluted with a lot of water and thus losing a lot of flavour. The spring roll was god awful. One of the worst I've had in the GTA (this includes Vietnamese fast food kiosks you can find in malls). It was dry, not properly wrapped, not enough filling, basically the only thing proper about it was that it was deep fried and not raw.
On the plus side, the small bowl was pretty large but this is usually the case in any pho spot. Prices are average too, almost $7 for a small bowl. Come to think of it, that seems a bit pricier.
