Really disappointed! The server added a 15% tip automatically to our bill without saying anything, and we didn’t notice — so we tipped another 15% on top of that. We only realized after we left. On top of that, the utensils were placed on the side of the table and looked really dirty. That’s not right and feels very dishonest. Won’t be coming back.

The moment we walked in, the atmosphere already felt strange. After the previous customers left, the staff didn’t even bother wiping the tables — new customers had to find a clean one themselves. Within just a few minutes, they started pressuring us to order, and when we asked questions about the dishes, they simply refused to answer.

The pho broth was sweet, which I’ve never encountered before — easily the worst pho I’ve ever had in my life. Just a few sad, thin slices of meat floating in it. My friend ordered the chicken leg rice, and it was completely burnt and so tough it couldn’t be chewed. When we asked the server, “Is your chicken usually cooked this way? It’s so hard to chew,” her response shocked us — “Yes, it’s always like that, it’s because of the chicken breed.” What kind of ridiculous answer is that?! And she said it with total confidence!

We also overheard the staff mocking customers and making rude comments about people after they left.

When we went to pay, the server didn’t show us the invoice — just handed over the card machine. We felt the total seemed off and asked to see the bill, only to find out they had automatically added a 15% tip without telling us! The whole time we were there, we didn’t even get water or napkins — zero service — and yet they secretly charged a tip. Absolutely unacceptable.

Honestly, I think the owner doesn’t even care about bad reviews. Since there isn’t much competition in this small town, they’ve gotten used to treating customers poorly, as if we have no other choice. It’s such an arrogant attitude. But there are plenty of other restaurants in town that are delicious and friendly — do yourself a favor and avoid this one!

For being in the territories, the food was great! Have been living up North for almost two years and have been craving pho for weeks. The food here hit the spot.

The pho had some cilantro bits in it, which was a welcome surprise. The broth was good. I also enjoyed the spring rolls and the salad roll.

Yes, it was warm inside the restaurant, but it's summer and I was eating pho. The ice water tasted extra good.

Wonton soup was great but the veggies in the chicken and veggie were poor.
The place is dirty, buggy and no ac. The server seemed to be on her own and need help. Lots of take out happening .

Ordered takeout. The salad rolls are good, nothing else really impressed me. Pricing was fair.

The food was good, I recommend the vermicelli dishes with spring rolls, they’re tasty and well priced. The rest of the dishes I think are a bit over priced given the atmosphere of the restaurant. Service was quick, though the place was empty when we went. I would come again for lunch.

I went in expecting a pretty bare-bones experience after reading other reviews, which is usually just fine, but this place was sparse, empty, and dingy.

From the hard-slamming door when you walk in, to the uncertainty of sitting down or waiting, to the overall grubby feel of the place, it’s not exactly welcoming.

Service wasn’t particularly quick, and the food came out one plate at a time, with minutes between each dish.

The beef noodle soup was tasty, and the rare beef the perfect level of doneness. A few minutes in the broth and it was tender and delicious.

The chow mein was disappointing. We had the noodles crunchy, and they seemed to have been fried while still dry, resulting in an unpleasant texture and flavour. The veggies and meat were done well, but there wasn’t a lot of sauce.

The hoisin sauce seemed to be watered down with something like Worcestershire sauce, making it quite running and an unpleasant flavour.

Overall, we were unimpressed. I’ve heard good things about the place, so maybe we just caught it on a bad night.

Not much vegetarian options. Only noodles with some leafs and spring rolls. I expected some tofu dish but not there.

The food is expensive, but the quality does not match the price.

This noodle house is a hidden gem among all the little spots along Franklin. The wonton soup with egg noodles was delicious and the servings were generous. To top it off, the server was a courteous, interesting young man who brought our freshly made soups out to us quickly and recommended delicious spring rolls to start! The only thing I might add is a bit of background music playing quietly.

I have tried seafood pho here. I would say it was good, but you can’t expect too much.

We also tried one of the combos with fried shrimp, chicken and fried rice. It was also nice.
Thanks

You will be full. Great spring rolls.
