Really good Vietnamese options. We got the Crispy Shrimp Spring Rolls and the House Special Pho. Both were really good.

This is a Thai Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine restaurant, they have menus from each cuisine. We came here on a Saturday evening and we ordered a pho, some fried wontons and a vermicelli dish (with spring roll and chicken). For three people this was more than enough food and we had leftovers to take home. The pho and vermicelli dish is solid but not the best we've ever had. This is a casual spot where people come to eat with their family and friends. The washrooms are in the back. You actually need to go into a hallway that is not part of the restaurant. You can see my pictures. I have to say that the service here is outstanding and very attentive. My mom dropped a pack of tissues and one of the servers went out to the parking lot to return it to her which was such a kind gesture. Would definitely come again when we're in the area.

This restaurant has Vietnamese, Chinese, and Thai cuisine. I liked the phớ, mango salad, and vermicelli! The mango salad was refreshing and sweet. The phớ was flavorful but I felt like the meat was a little dry. I got to try their bánh xèo. The flavour was there but it was soggy. It’s a small place and the service was great. It’s a great place to meet with people and try new flavours.

Great place for pan Asian food. Tried their pho, basil stir fried chicken, rainbow stir fried chicken, pad thai and shanghai noodles. The mango salad is quite refreshing and perfect balance of flavours!

Edit: Dropping my rating as I went back recently and was disappointed at the service. I ordered the vegan pho again and the soup was still delicious, however, they ran out of tofu but lied to me that there would be fewer pieces once I asked if I could change my order. Unfortunately, I will not be coming back due to this experience. The vegan pho was delicious! However, the veggie fried spring roll was a small portion for the price and tasted like it was frozen for a while. Will be coming back again for the pho :)

Decent place for Viet / Thai, especially in Etobicoke. I like the veg options pho, either with the veggie broth or original beef broth. The fresh rolls were a little disappointing, especially for the price. Overall still good, clean restaurant and attentive staff.

This was the highest rated Vietnamese restaurant in the area and open on Jan 1, 2023 so a friend and I trudged down to the eatery. I was in the mood for some Tom Kha Gai but this place doesn’t offer that. I was instead suggested Thai curries but that’s not what I wanted so had to opt for Pho Gai. We also ordered mango salad, veg spring rolls, curry Pad Thai (veg + tofu), bok Chou in ginger + garlic sauce, mango milkshake and Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk. With the order, we were initially given chilli sauce and hoisin sauce. Mango salad was great and the portion wholesome. Bok Choy was good as well but could have had better flavour. Veg spring rolls were disappointing as was the pad thai and the chicken pho. It just lacked flavour - had to spice it up with the available sauces. At most of the Vietnamese restaurants I have been before this (and I have been to many), chilli oil is considered a standard supplement. When requested, I got a very small serving (which was funny) in a miniature plate but it tasted okay. Of the two staff that attended to us (one male and one female), the chap was definitely more welcoming. The milkshake was good but it needed more milk and the mango was fairly sour. The coffee was great! Overall, food is generally palatable but this place doesn’t get more than 3 stars from me. Will I revisit? No.

Excellent portions for the price. Excellent service. Wish they had sticky rice (unsweetened) available but that will not stop me and the family from revisiting this restaurant again soon. A note to the management: Keep up the great work & we will see y’all sometime real soon!
