“ Pho here was great. Deep and flavourful broth that didn't leave one thirsty afterwards. The broth is much better than the more popular Pho Bac's, which taste watered down in comparison. We also tried their speciality egg pancake. It's some thing that I've never had before and definetly something worth trying. The taste and textures somehow comes alive once you wrap it in crisp lettuce. Meats and rice dish is about what you'd expect. ”
“ I was so excited to see banh canh on the menu! It was slightly different from what I had remembered but was delicious for a rainy day. The staff were very kind and welcoming :) Edit: I came back 3 years later after seeing a sign for bun mam and this specialty soup simply blew me away. It was so flavourful with incredible depth - one of the best versions I’ve had of this soup (if not the best). The staff again were so tremendously kind and sweet. They thought there was something wrong with the dish that I was packing it up but I realized they closed soon at the time, in which case they encouraged me to stay insisting they close late to clean up. It was a very endearing gesture and experience with the sweet couple/family. ”
“ An excellent spot for authentic Vietnamese cuisine with incredibly fast and friendly service. I ordered the spicy soup, which arrived steaming hot and packed with flavor; —it came with beef steaks, pork, and pork knuckle. Great broth, perfect for cold weather. ”
“ I usually go to my usual pho places in Chinatown, but I randomly decided to pick this place since I have seen good reviews from others I was really glad I took the chance! Their broth better was than I thought! I enjoyed every little sip of it very slowly. My husband took their bun bo hue, he loved it…the gentleman who served us was very kind. the location was small but cozy. going back no questions asked! ”
“ Great selection of menu items, deep flavours, and delicious broths in a wonderful relaxing yet lively atmosphere with good music. ”
