I can say their Pho is So so (average).The tripe portion in my Pho didn't taste very fresh. However they served our food quite fast since there were just a handful of customers when we went there on a Sunday for early dinner. This restaurant is sandwiched between two other Asian restaurants along Spadina street just across the Toronto Trolley station right at the very centre of Chinatown. Their washrooms and floor were a bit dirty and nobody among the staff were trying to clean it since they were all standing near the door waiting for customers to order or have their food delivered to their tables. The food and service is just OK but not excellent.

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!
