Pho Tai Vietnamese Noodle House

This used to be my go to pho restaurant. That changed when I brought home a pick up order and found an invited guest in the bag containing my favourite food: a bug. I had my boyfriend call them right away because I 'm recovering from a sore throat and my voice was giving out. They didn 't offer any compensation for this unpleasant experience and instead said, we 'll tell the kitchen . Not coming back here again, which is a shame because I love the food they serve but can 't put up with uncleanliness and bad hygiene standards let alone the bad service.

I came here for late lunch since I was in the area. They have a promotion where if you order one entrée after 3 pm, you get a free spring roll. Their prices are higher than most Vietnamese restaurants, inching close to $10 for pho and $7 for three salad rolls. I ordered my standard rare beef pho and my hubby ordered the sate beef. The spring rolls came out quick and fresh. I noticed our server, who couldn't have been older than 19 years old, didn't bring out the fish sauce for the spring rolls. When I asked him where the fish sauce was, he told me to use the hoisin and hot sauces on the table. Little Boy, you work in a Vietnamese restaurant. How dumb are you?! Spring rolls come with fish sauce! It's pretty standard!! Our pho came out quick in deceivingly huge bowls. The bowl itself is large but the portions weren't generous. I also felt the broth had a sour hint to it. Otherwise, the ingredients were fresh. Ultimately, my vote still goes to Quynh for the best pho in the Sunridge area. Service was quick here but I was put off by our server's idiocy. I won't be back here if I had the choice.

Ever been to Saigon Y2K? The food tastes very similar so if you're a fan of Saigon Y2K, then you'll like this place. The owner used to be part owner of the Saigon Y2K and I guess he must of took the recipes with him. I came here a couple times. I had the Satay as well as the normal pho. It was very tasty. The first time I came here, the noodles was kinda hard so I told them to cook the noodles a bit longer for me every time I ordered. Now the pho is perfect! Atmosphere 1 star Food 2 stars Would I come back hells yea 1 star Yes...it's hard to get 5 stars out of me. The pho has to be so perfect that I would order another bowl on the spot to get that final star.

Finally got the chance to sit down, eat and take a peek in the restaurant. Brought the kids in for a pre-Christmas lunch. Upon sitting down I was a little surprised at how under kept the place is (does that makes sense? . But that can sometimes be the case when you find good, cheap eats. The kids shared a noodle bowl and I ordered my own with spring rolls to share. The chicken pieces are larger than what I've had at other places (winning and the service was spot on. Food is good, I will definitely be back. Most likely for take out again.

You can choose your protein and then fill your package with a mix of salad, basil, mint, carrot, cucumber, and vermicelli topped with nuts and greens. The dipping sauce, Nuoc-Cam, was salty and sour with just a hint of sweetness, and it had a stronger fish flavor than what I've experienced at most Vietnamese restaurants. My hands carried that strong flavor for hours! Mai mentioned that there are also hoisin and satay sauces available, but I think you need to ask for them.
