"A Hidden Gem for Pho Lovers!" I ordered the Grilled Chicken on Rice and Glass Noodle Pho. If you're craving authentic pho, look no further! This place is a true hidden gem. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm hospitality and the enticing aroma of freshly made broth. The pho here is nothing short of perfection – the broth is rich, savory, and perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of depth and flavor. The noodles are silky smooth, and the fresh herbs and vegetables add a delightful crunch and brightness to every bite. It was absolutely delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful, and the portion size was generous. The side of fresh bean sprouts, basil, and lime added the perfect touch to customize each bowl to your liking. What really sets this restaurant apart, though, is the attention to detail – from the homemade sauces to the friendly service, it’s clear that they care about providing an exceptional dining experience. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a casual meal or a comforting bowl of pho. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates great pho – this place does it right!

We ordered a shrimp rice paper rolls with peanut dipping sauce, a beef pho, and a dry noodle with pork meatball and sugar cane shrimp. The food's seasoning was a bit different from what we tried at other Vietnamese restaurants. But it is not either a good or a bad thing. It is just a different kind of flavours I guess. Their seasoning was sweeter compare to other Vietnamese restaurants. Fairly priced food and big portion. You will even receive a 10% off for cash payment. Service was efficient. Staff was polite as well. They were attentive and kept refilling water for us. The restaurant was really quiet was so it was comfortable to sit in. Clean tables and chairs too.

Easy to find seat inside the restaurant. However they don’t have their own parking spot, need to find street parking. For the food, all are good looking and delicious. The noodle soup taste good. Only thing is the spring roll skin is different as the usual one. I aim’t saying it is bad and just a highlight only. The price should be good but I am a traveller from BC.

I’m a big fan of Lemongrass Pork Chop, and this is my favourite one yet! It’s a pretty good portion, and it tastes great. I personally like pork chops a bit on the fattier side, and this one is as such. (Note that I’ve only ever gotten the pork chop here, haha). I’ve visited a couple of times now, both for dinner. It’s usually pretty quiet, and the service is great! Accessible by transit, there is street parking, as well as a Green P near by I believe.

Odd experience eating here. We came in for lunch maybe around noon on a weekday and awaited to be seated. There were 2 people eating at the front I assumed were customers but after a few min one of them stood up with their mouth full of food gesturing for us to sit at the back of the restaurant. Kinda weird because I guess that was the server? I mean, I used to be a server at one point and understand people need lunch breaks, but typically we would cover each other and sit somewhere more discrete. But both servers were on break and at the front. Kinda weird because they maybe only opened about 30min prior and it's busy lunch time. Right off the bat-- I could tell this is a regular thing and how they treat their customers. The person who actually took our order and served us looked like he was the cook because he was wearing an apron. He was great! Memorized our order and served our food promptly! The food overall was delicious and good portion! When it came to pay, we couldn't find any one and just waited for a long time until we could wave someone down to pay. I would only go here if you're okay with bad customer service and just want viet food.

The pho was delicious, flavourful and well balanced, not too salty. We had the special pho and fried rice . The meat was so tender, melted in your mouth. This place will probably be one of my go-to pho restaurants that I would highly recommend. The price and food matched. We hope to try more things on the menu as well next time. The staff was extremely friendly and the atmosphere welcoming. 😊 lastly , The discount for using cash was a nice incentive.☺️

Very friendly and helpful staff. The food has always been good. We had the Spring Roll Platter, Shanghai Noodles and Thai Green Curry Chicken with Rice. The service was great and the food was prepared very quickly. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area.
