    Never had a complaint here, just good Vietnamese food

    Quite a small dining area so be ready to drool watching others eat if you go on a busy night

    Food pretty good, a tad pricey for a pho place, and washroom wasn't very clean.

    Stopped over at this venue with m'lady to grab a bite to eat for lunch. We're avid fans of pho, so we figured we'd try a new place as we were driving by.

    It was the typical "pho experience" where you write down your order and they bring it to you after collecting your order, so that was all fine and dandy.

    The quality of the food was decent, so it was alright for a pho place in that respect.

    I found the washroom to be rather dirty, so keep that in mind if you're a paying customer who needs to use it (there's a sign that the washroom's only for customers, so keep that in mind ;-)   ).

    Also remember to bring cash with you at this venue, as they're a "cash-only" joint.

    All-in-all, this place was OK. Not my top choice for pho, but if you feel like pho and you're in the area, it will do.

    I was skeptical about this place, but hoped it might be one of the dives that turn out to be a gem.

    The chicken pho (white meat, clear broth) that Joanne Kates recommends on old review taped to the window has become a favourite with all whom I have brought there.

    I *love* the spring rolls; mostly minced pork and shredded carrot with just the right amount of garlic... on the more side!

    The dining room is quite small, so you will have to put up with the blender sound if a shake is ordered.

    The service is typical Vietnamese...  3.5 stars.  Open until 9pm.

    Not the best Vietnamese food I've ever had, but thoroughly enjoyable.

    This is my second time having their pho, and neither time was I that impressed. I think this may be a regular place for everything else, though!  The shrimp salad rolls were pretty good, though I did notice that they didn't have basil in them. What really stuck out was the pork fried rice. It has got to be the best fried rice I ever had. The flavour was strong in a good way and there was a very generous amount of shrimp.

    The service was very lacklustre, I felt as if we were almost inconveniencing the server by beng there. That aside, the place deserves some checking out, just for their non-pho dishes.

    Nice spot if you are craving Pho and live in the St. Clair area. Small place but pleasant.

    Food is good and inexpensive. The restaurant was absolutely empty when I went there for lunch, and the lady who "served" me kept reading her newspaper during my meal. I can't say I felt comfortable, and I even had to ask if the restaurant was really opened.

    I tried to sit on the counter, but the owner didn't let me. I had to go to a table, even being alone in a empty restaurant.

    I had a nice noodle dish, but nothing incredible.

    A large note on the counter says "CASH ONLY".

    At least the dishes are well served and cheap.

    Big bowls of inexpensive, tasty Pho!  What's not to love?  The atmosphere is cheap-and-cheerful, the lichee smoothies are delicious, and in proper Vietnamese style, they never rush you out the door - payment at the bar only.
