The portion is giant for the fried dishes and noodles. I love it to share with family.

Nice clean, tasting pho broth. Tender brisket and tendon. Came in decent time. Nothing special about the service but it's all good. Tight on seating. Will try other things on the menu.

I came here on a blogger’s recommendation, and I’m so glad I did!!! This place completely blew me away! The Bun Rieu was a revelation. Packed with flavor, generous amounts of crab paste, and yes, a whole 🦀 ! The broth was sooo rich and satisfying, hands down the best Bun Rieu I’ve ever had. Also, the portion size was more than generous, especially for the price ($17 for a large size). What really sets this spot apart is the atmosphere, none of that generic, commercialized feel you get from some other Vietnamese restaurants in the GTA. It’s cozy, authentic, and feels like a true hidden gem. I’ll definitely be back to explore the rest of the menu!😋

I come here to eat in the evenings every few weeks. Food/taste is consistent and the service is good. The menu has a large selection to choose from has seating for about 40 people. We ordered tonight Tomato Crab soup with vermicelli and Thai style rare beef brisket in Tom Yum soup with Pho. My wife loves the crab soup as it has a rich crab taste and tomato was not over powering. The t yum was not too spicy and the soup was sooo tasty I ate the whole bowl and drank all of the soup. I usually have the special beef pho (rare beef, beef balls, tendon, brisket, tripe) and it's always great eat and my goto bowl of pho when I come here and this time I wanted to try something different and I wasn't disappointed. I'll be back to eat here again in a few weeks.

3 stars means ok and normal. Spring rolls are crispy, and the stuffing is authentic Vietnam style. Bun bo hue is just 3 stars. While they give a plentiful amount of beef brisket, they are not flavorful. The soup also lacks lemongrass taste as well. There is no blood pudding. The bean sprouts and herbs are not fresh, and there is a lack of variety. All in all, it is an ok meal.

As the only non-Vietnamese in the restaurant we felt it was very authentic!! I loved that they serve tea to start the meal 🙂‍↕️ The Bun Rieu was full of flavour and the large portion was enough for 2 people. Side dishes of spring rolls were sooo good and fried tofu with silky tofu was ok - tbh I just don’t like soft tofu. Staff were super helpful
