Not a big deal… normally I wouldn’t mind such a small inconvenience but my friend and I happened to be in a rush. Grilled pork sandwich was disappointing in flavour. And while I’m not sure what colour exactly is safe to eat a grilled pork sandwich, this pink colour made me skeptical. The spring rolls were pretty good! They were fried perfectly and went great with the sauce. Overall I would not come back here… at least not for the sandwiches. Apparently the pho is a big hit here, but I’ll have to pass on coming back.

This remains the cheapest pho with the most generous portion of both noodles and ingredients. The soup is Vietnamese authentic and no MSG is used (you won't feel thirsty afterwards, unlike most pho restaurants). Always pick #17 from the menu. Size matters!

I've been going to this place off and on for 15 years and in all the time I had nothing bad to say until tonight. Been very tired and I wanted to have some good food to eat, I had some stale bread in the cupboard I had to throw away. So I called them up, I ordered salad rolls, and lemongrass chicken sub; the salad rolls were fine, very tasty, but the chicken sub was prepared on bread that was so dried out and stale that it was worse than the bread that had I threw away! Shocked, that they would serve this to customers and not expect them to not say anything; just ridiculous!

It was rather bland, lacking the depth of flavor I was hoping for, and the rice noodles didn't stand out at all. The dish had a noticeably sweet taste, reminiscent of southern or Saigon-style pho. Overall, it was just average, even by Canadian standards. While it’s a satisfactory local option, if you're in the mood for better pho, I would suggest visiting Lunch Lady for southern style or Linh Café for northern (Hanoi) style.

While the pork chop was decent, the chicken was dry and seemed like it had been pre-cooked and reheated. The grilled chicken didn’t have the crispy skin I prefer, and the rice was also quite dry.
