Nice restaurant serving good Vietnamese food. They have a large menu with lots of dishes to choose from. We had their pho, a vermicelli bowl and a rice dish. The food was very good. Service was pleasant but could be more attentive. We had to ask for water refills. Located in large shopping centre there’s lots of free parking.

This is one of the places I keep coming back to. The soup with a sandwich (I like the chicken) whether it's lunch or supper, tasty!

Have to reduce rating from 5 to 3 now after my recent visit a few days ago. It was a weekend evening I think. The Asian waitresses this time were not up to the mark. Despite several free tables on the main floor, she asked me to sit on ground floor, probably not to disrupt white folks’ dinner there as I was a single brown male. I eventually asked to be seated on main floor instead which the other waitress then complied to. Also, after ordering, I was still feeling hungry so took the menu back from the side table & that other waitress came & quickly took it back while I was still reading saying you can check it when you want to order. I left giving $0 as tip this time.

Shrimp tempura was okay, pricey for 6 small shrimps with way too much breading. Sate beef noodle soup was also ok, wasn’t particularly spicy but felt that they tried to add a lot of chili to compensate for their beef broth which was a little bland. The rice noodles were overcooked for both of our sate beef’s- the noodles almost disintegrated and melted in the mouth when you put it in your mouth, I prefer more of a chew/al dente in my rice noodles. Service was a little disappointing considering we were the only table in the restaurant. Had to get up to ask for drinks ourselves as we weren’t really checked on, and when we were ready to pay I had to go to the front desk and wait for someone to come as they were all in the back.

Delicious. We had rare beef noodle soup and chicken with soft egg noodles stir fried. Food came out fast. Potions are very large and meals were satisfying . Service can be a bit slow but I prefer that to bugging us every 2 min. We'll be back

Really disappointed with my recent order. I ordered the pho satay but got the regular pho instead. The broth was so bland and completely missed the flavor I was expecting. The restaurant did offer to replace it, but we declined — it’s a 15-minute drive each way, and it just wasn’t worth the hassle.
It’s frustrating because this place used to be great, but both the food and service have really gone downhill lately. Definitely not the quality it used to be.

The pho was good but the portion was not as much as you would typically get at other places. I usually get a regular sized pho an order of spring rolls and be stuffed. I didn’t feel I received the value, next time I may try the large. Friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere.

I always like this place and it's delicious, so I went there last week and ordered it today... I've felt it since last time, but the taste of pho soup has definitely changed! The kids ate it today and the taste changed too much. Did the chef change it? I don't think I'll go for a while.
Best place ever really delicious food ! I recommend
