Satsifies the craving

As there are not too many Vietnamese places in N. Van, tried this one as I had a crazing for Pho. Lunch time crowd was pretty good but not too busy. Limited choices for Pho with no exotic meats to chose from, I think 3-4 choices. Soup was good, meat amount was average, meat quality was average. Others had various combos and they looked quite big. Noticed that the salad rolls were big but rolled up a bit loose, perhaps with too much stuffing as they burst open during eating. Would try the combos and the sandwiches next time. Service was quick and efficient, perfect for luch time. The price was a bit on the high side as no lunch menu, just the regular menu. Ambiance is pretty basic. Would go back.

Better Than Expected

Drove by this restaurant a week ago and there was nobody inside. Mind you it was a Wednesday but still, didn't want to chance eating in a place that was empty.

Drove by it again last night and saw 10 - 12 tables were full. Decided to give it a chance as there aren't that many Vietnamese restaurants on the Shore. When we walked in, we were asked to wait for a moment. As I looked around, I noticed all the tables that were empty had not been cleaned yet. We waited for about 3 minutes when we were finally shown a table.

The place is nothing fancy decor wise (but I didn't expect it to be). One thing that I did appreciate was that they were playing regular music instead of vietnamese music like most places do.

I ordered the rare beef/beef ball noodle. My bf ordered the spicy noodle. We also got the bbq pork and 2 iced coffees.

I was pleasantly surprised with the noodles! The soup was piping hot and the noodles were cooked to perfection. The beef came way too well done but it was decent. Ice coffees were yummy. My bf said his noodles didn't seem to be cooked thoroughly but overall, it was good.

I would def. recommended this place if your on the North Shore and craving Viet food. I'm def. going to return!

On a side note, they may want to hire one additional person to work the front. There were only 2 people up front and they were so busy that they didn't even have time to clear tables.

nice new pho place

I noticed that this place had moved into the spot occupied by an Indian restaurant and I decided to take Mrs. C to try it out.

The new place is nice and clean, and has a fresh coat of paint. It looks much brighter than the restaurant it replaces. The staff seemed friendly enough, and they were very attentive.

We had iced coffee, pho and spring rolls. The 3 skinny spring rolls were a rip-off at 6 bucks, and to be honest the pho was quite expensive too, compared to other places. As for food quality, it was okay but nothing special. I liked the noodles in my pho which were just right, but the soup was a little weak. The iced coffee was fine. The spring rolls were a little tough.

Will I be back? There are only two pho places on the North Shore, so it depends on the price of gas ;)
