We ordered Thai dishes which were very filling but didn’t actually taste like we are used to.
Very friendly service.

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.

The pho was pretty bad tbh. I will never return. The service was fine though. We were here on a Friday night and nearby restaurants were super full but we needed something quick because my daughter was hungry and tired. The broth was really really bland. It did not taste like hours and hours went in to making it. It tasted like instant pho soup. It was terrible

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.☺️

Nice place to have a Vietnamese meal.
We order pho, mango salad, beef fried rice, veggie rolls.
The fried rice was really good, the beef was tender.
The pho was not too flavored. The other dishes were good.

Went on a Thursday evening a few weeks ago and it was surprisingly quiet. However the food was great, the portion sizes were generous, and the staff were very accommodating. So definitely not a bad choice if you're looking for pho in this area. The dish pictured below was $16.
