Plain and simple, you go to Bao Chau for the food not the decor and b'c it's a cheap eat. Service is sufficient.

The various variations of pho are all fantastic. I personally like tripe so I usually ordered that. The spring rolls are great - crispy,…More »

Good sandwiches at a great price. It's not amazing banh mi but it fits the bill and craving if you have one.
Fast, efficient service with a number of non-banh mi items available.
I had their combination special sandwich which is basically a variety…More »

Well, one thing is for sure is that we don't have anything this big back home in Toronto.  I've heard about Lee's from a friend of mine so it's been on my list to try for awhile.  I knew that I should expect a large number of banh mi but not the…More »

I had the bun rieu (vermicelli in a tomato based broth with shrimp & crab paste).  I was disappointed because the broth was overly sweet (not too sure why it was sweet in the first place) and the crab paste came in large clumps that were overly…More »

Fast, efficient and good.  This place hits the spot when you're craving pho.
I got the pho with beef & tripe - broth was rich, beef & tripe were tender and noodles were well cooked.
I also had the iced coffee which I found to be more ice than coffee.…More »

This place is has a nice interior with dark wooden walls and large Asian vases around the front bar.  It looks a lot nicer compared to other Vietnamese places which are usually pretty bare/simple.  Perhaps this is making up for its lacklustre food.

I decided to try this place out since I've by this place a few times and besides A Good Morning (a great brunch place).

The interior looks like an old school 80's restaurant that with green booths that run along the side, old furniture and a…More »

I wasn't expecting very much from this place.  I figured how good can a Vietnamese restaurant be on University Ave? I thought that it would cater to the Western customers but I was surprisingly wrong.

My husband had the chicken pho which has been by…More »

You get your standard pho here without the broth being overly salty or watered down - just right.  The noodles were cooked perfectly and each bowl had enough meat to satisfy each of us.  The pho tastes much like the Pho 88 in Toronto so no…More »
