Serenity is what i’d describe my experience as. The food was sublime and the atmosphere tranquil. I felt like I was right at home. I will be coming back often!

Solid Vietnamese food. Had their specialty soup noodle (egg and rice noodle mix) and it was good. Got bbq pork dry noodle/ salad to go and it was good too. A mom & pop restaurant so don’t have high expectations on the atmosphere.

Come here for the food not the atmosphere, as no frill as and as authentic as you are going to get in Chinatown.
This very regional dish that is hard to find as this cuisine comes from a cross of the Fujian Region and Vietnamese Region coming together to formulate this dish. Traditionally this dish is served on the lighter side so the condiments such as the pickled garlic (a must) along with the fish sauce is to flavor to your preference as this dish is usually eaten a bit milder for the seniors.
The msg is a bit heavy so I don’t suggest to consume the soup too heavily, however do try at least half of it as it goes with the noodles and shrimp crackers very well.
The overall atmosphere is pretty hole in the wall like and they definitely need improvements on the interior and to get rid of that strong cigarette smell that comes into their shop. However if you are quickly coming here to grab takeout or a quick bite this is one of of my favorite spots to stop by for a nice unique bowl of noodles. If you do get takeout don’t forget the pickled garlic and maybe ask for a side of fish sauce as the broth might be a bit too mild for some. But do give them a shot and please support them as they are one of the few restaurants left that still makes this homey dish.
Hopefully they can make improvements, but for what it is, I’m not going to argue as other places in the area tend to give me a stomach ache and this place hasn’t, so come here for the food, not the atmosphere. And maybe stick with their specialty and don’t stray too far off on trying things they aren’t known for.

Was my holy grail up until a month or so ago, but the prices have recently gone up significantly and the portion size seems smaller. I don’t understand the latter.

I have been eating here since I was a kid. It is an icon of Toronto Chinatown and I hope it never leaves. I only ever order one thing, Bun Mi Vang. It is the taste of home in a bowl.
