This is most definitely the worst Vietnamese restaurant i’ve been to in the city and i’ve been to quite a few Vietnamese resturants. I had the satay chicken pho and the broth was completely flavourless, it just tasted like spicy tap water. It was also kind of small for $16 bucks. I was just at Pho Hoan Pasteur in Mahogany and got a MASSIVE bowl of satay chicken pho for the same price.

I also got the chicken sub and it was also lacking in flavour and the chicken was rubbery (the bread was nicely toasted at least).

The atmosphere of this place is so strange and has an eerie liminal space vibe. I wanted leave as soon as I sat down. The place is very quite but not in a good way; a radio station was playing the top 40 and there is a constantly hum of an old refrigerator buzzing from the kitchen. It was also completely dead at 5pm.

The waitress was friendly and the food came out pretty fast (but again, there was literally not another person in the whole place).

The food is great, but one small wish. Don't clean tables with chlorine. It smells horrible....

Came for lunch on a Saturday at 12:30 p.m.. the restaurant was completely empty, which was a red flag. In the entryway, the glass on the doors was incredibly filthy and the floor hadn't been swept in at least a week. It was dark, dank, smelled weird and was really dirty. The utensils are kept in an open-air container on the table And some of the ones at our table were still dirty. The service was fine, but the first impressions and the amount of dirt made me check the Google reviews. In the last month. They have nothing but negative reviews, including a review from somebody who found a maggot in their food. Upon reading the response from the management, we opted to leave the restaurant as we were not confident in the cleanliness of the kitchen. I urge anyone who has gotten sick or who has a similar experience to report to this restaurant to AHS. To the staff, please clean your restaurant. Customers don't want to eat in A dirty space.

Restaurant is dirty, made me feel like we couldn’t eat there so we got our food to go. Cutlery is kept in a container at the table - not sanitary. Glass came with lipstick still on it. Boyfriend got sick from the imitation seafood we were served for $18.

I haven’t been physically here for over a year but ordered on Uber Eats a couple of days ago and got insane food poisoning. I’m reading comments about how dirty the restaurant space is and it makes you wonder how dirty the kitchen must be. I’d avoid.

I had been here for lunch, I really liked the food here, the place is clean and the lady provided a good service.
The Vietnamese combo platter and chicken and beef sub is good.

Food was tasty and the lightly grilled peppers a good addition to the usual vermicelli, but a bit too oily. Strange that the spring rolls were not included and had to be added separately. Even stranger with no Pho on the menu. Great avocado shake. No background music, and the decoration is strange with scenes from Amsterdam and places other than Vietnam. Service was great and quicker than at other places.
