My new favourite restaurant. It looks like it's a living room, and there's a CAT!!!! I cannot believe there's a cat. The food is insane, bring cash, and we got like 4 meals for under 50 dollars. In this economy?!?! And it's so good?
The owners are really sweet and the service takes some time but so worth it. We met a sweet couple who moved into the neighborhood and now we're friends. Had the best conversation. It was like a friends living room. The best, non pretentious food. And did I mention the CAT????

When we arrived, the staff told us they were only serving vermicelli and pho, even though the menu listed many other items. A bit disappointing. The food was okay — I had the chicken & spring roll vermicelli, and my friend had the pho.
What really stood out was the service. Around 7:30, a staff member shouted, “Time to go”. When we went to pay, they handed us the card machine without asking about the tip — and it turned out a17% tip had already been added.

The sandwiches are great, the service is welcoming and the decor eclectic.

I’ve walked by this place so many times without ever trying. Non descript. The dining space likely doubles as the owners living room. BUT amazing food and super friendly owner. Recommend. Will be going back.

I really wanted to like this place and gave it two tries with the pho and bun rieu, but both times the soup was so salty I couldn’t even finish it. I’ve had pho all my life and never encountered a bowl that bad. Unfortunately that was the case with this spot. I love the homey decor and the hole in the wall vibe, but the food was really just bad. I don’t mind bad service with places like this either but what did it for me was the fact that a service charge was secretly added into the bill without any mention. And it’s funny that the owner ignores you when you’re there but is suddenly super friendly and asks how you are the moment you are about to pay the bill. Maybe this spot is better for Vietnamese, who knows, but it’s a big shame..

Went there a while back. The owner is a sweet old man. Had an amazing time dining in. The man has stories to tell. I have never seen so many statues of Buddha (& friends) in a restaurant before and somehow it gives great vibes. You’d forget you’re in Toronto.
Bahn Mi is too good for how cheap it is. The bread, the pickle, the viet ham, the veggies and the sauce are simply perfect. 10/10.
p.s. oh one more thing, it’s northern Vietnamese food so you might find the noodle soup, I had Bun Reiu, to be ‘foreign’ compared to what you usually have but what a nice surprise. Basic but in the best way.

Great service and incredible menu! Lots of veggie options!
Called and placed an order. They told me 15mins. Came in 40mins later. Told me they didn’t make it. I left.

Food was good. The service was non-existent, but the prices are lower than average which offset.
The reason for my one star is that they over charge at the til without explanation. My total didn't make sense to me and when I asked why they said there was gratuity added automatically without any prompt. When I asked to take it off they argued and wouldn't. It's illegal to force service charges or tips on customers without prior notice.

Booh! Worst Vietnamese coffee ever; made from a instant pack, I could have made that at home in 30 seconds.
Also, I ordered a rice bowl with shredded pork and I got a bowl with sliced pork skin. When I told the person this is not what I ordered he said yes, showing me the menu. The menu says shredded pork. Obviously there's some translation problems in their menu and they don't want to acknowledge it.
When it was time to paid he included the tip without asking me how much I wanted to give. Not cool...
They got $7 banh mi and it’s bussin’…
