The restaurant was clean, but it's worth noting that there are quite a few stairs to reach the dining area — something to keep in mind for anyone with mobility concerns. One small downside was the strong scent of the floor cleaner (Jax); it was a bit overpowering. I’d recommend switching to an unscented product to make the dining experience more pleasant. Otherwise, it’s a solid spot for a quick and tasty Vietnamese meal! Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

I adore their pho and have only returned once since the renovation, as I've moved out of Toronto. We used to visit so frequently that one of the staff members recognized us and has always treated us wonderfully from the start. My go-to dishes are pho 101 and the vermicelli with grilled pork, pork balls, and spring roll (#303). So delicious! I definitely recommend this place!
