Have to agree with Eric L.on this one. This place is CLEAN.

The SO and I wanted to give this place a shot since technically it is the closest Pho place to our house. He had Beef Satay, I had Pho Ga (As I do not eat Beef Pho). We then split an order…More »

Rose cafe is a teeny Vietnamese Cafe on Broadview (in the *other* Chinatown) That has the best Bánh mì in the city.  In university, we used to refer to these as "Saigon Buns." Back then, on Spadina you could get them for a $1 a piece, and many a…More »

I'm surprised this place doesn't have a better overall rating.

This is THE place we go for Vietnamese. There are so many choices in this neighborhood, and we have tried them all - always returning to Mi Mi's.

I don't eat Pho, but my partner is a bit…More »

This is a "Vegetarian pho" biased review.

Golden Turtle gets 4 stars because my SO (pho eater) and I (not pho eater) can both agree on the quality. We like it. It also gets bonus points for having real vegetarian pho. Often (especially in winter) I…More »

So everybody (presumably) knows the tale of the Two Phos. Once business parters, the Owners of Tien Thanh and Rua Vang Turtle up the street have since become bitter rivals.  Everyone has their favorite and each is unique in their own right.

In university, I used to eat at the Ginger south of here, honestly like 4 times a week. Meal and pop was under $5. That one doesn't exist anymore, but its older grungier brother does, and it is steps from my office.

Ginger isn't epic, by any means,…More »

I used to live right by here, and would "train" all of the time. New train is better than Old train for anyone that remembers Xe ula pre-renovations.  Once at old Train I asked them to make me bun (vermicelli) vegetarian,  just noodles and veg no…More »

After Reading all of these reviews, I visited this Hanoi 3 Seasons locations to see what the buzz was about. I live *right* by the location on Queen, so I had not bothered to walk up to Gerrard, but last night we gave it a try. Hanoi 3 Seasons is…More »

*disclaimer* I don't eat Pho.

Now that we got that out of the way, I do enjoy other Viet-treats.  The menu sucks for non-pho eaters. On Last visit I ordered cold shrimp rolls which were fine, but really basic and lacking all of delicious herbs.
