Food was cooked and prepared well. Ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai, Fresh shrimp rolls, Crispy rolls and an order of Tom Yum soup. The Pad Thai and rolls were meh, but the soup was very good. We did not try the Sushi but the couple dining beside us enjoyed it thoroughly.

First off, the flavours are absolutely delightful and they manage to cook so much of their menu right. I have yet to try something that hasn't amazed me yet here. You get great value for your meals here and a lot of other places just can't compare. The service here is great and friendly. A nice family vibe to it from the owners. They maintain their restaurant well and the decor is simple yet nice. Plenty of space for dining in here if you don't want to do take out. If you enjoy Chinese/Vietnamese cuisine or just want to try something new, you owe it to yourself to eat here at least once.

Especially since I ordered extra meat with it. I couldn't finish it all without feeling too full.Overall the flavor was great though. Definitely one of the better pho places in Barrie by far.

The owners may not be Vietnamese, which might explain some of the criticism, but I found the staff to be incredibly friendly and accommodating. The Pho was absolutely delicious; the broth was so flavorful that my mom finished every last drop. Everything from the fresh meat and vegetables to the perfectly cooked noodles was spot on. We also tried the shrimp tempura, which was crispy and very good, as well as the excellent pork chop rice. Don't forget to order a milkshake—they make it fresh with real fruit! The menu offers not only Vietnamese dishes but also Chinese, Thai, and Japanese options. I can't wait to go back and try everything!

I ordered the Rare Beef Pho, which is one of my favorites, along with the Vietnamese Spring Rolls. While the beef wasn’t as rare as I expected, it was absolutely delicious! The spring rolls stood out to me as well; I loved the unique batter they were deep-fried in. The value for the price was impressive. I’m looking forward to trying more items from their extensive menu in the future. I would definitely recommend visiting!
