One word to describe this place - Pho-licious.

I've tried many, I mean, many Vietnamese noodle houses in Toronto. It's the same typical and tiring bowl of beef noodle soup everytime I want to satisfy my pho craving.

As you enter in, you notice that at…More »

My usual go-to place for Vietnamese food for years.
Prices are reasonable and the service is quite good/efficient.

Regarding the pho, the broth is tasty, despite knowing that there is MSG in it. The beef is quite chewy and hard to eat, even when cooked…More »

3.5**

Walking along Chinatown #2, I was hungry for Vietnamese food. The only problem was that the entire street (Gerrard St) was lined with 4-5 Viet restaurants, each claiming to be the best Pho noodles.

In search of a good Vietnamese restaurant among the many along Gerrard and Broadview, this was one of the first ones I saw. Perhaps my last trip, I might add.

The restaurant was small with approx. 15 small tables at most. Service was friendly and…More »

A recipe for disaster = MSG filled pho soup base + thick "ho fun" noodles + non-existent beefy broth flavour. Really, an insult for pho lovers like me.

Though, I did give this restaurant another shot with their rice dishes. Ordered the rice with pork…More »
