2/1/2010

To officially kick off Pho-bruary, we visited the much talked about Pho Tien Thanh on Ossington. Yelp Elites Dale M. and Bijan V. were joined by Yelp newbie Jan A., whose dedication to the craft of pho is noteworthy (she just visited this place a…More »

2. Kim Vietnamese Restaurant

710 Gerrard Street East
Toronto, ON M4M 1Y3

Category: Vietnamese

2/17/2010 First to Review

Update - 2/4/2010

Same owners as Vietnam Noodle Star (VNS), same bowls, plates, cups, menus, everything. It has all of the necessary tools to be a five star pho joint...but why does it fall short?

2. Nice tender pieces of tendon
3. Lots of fresh bean sprouts…More »
