This is North Vietnamese cuisine at his best. It is a small family run business. The server is so sweet and friendly. All the staff tries so hard to please. There are many Vietnamese restaurants on Gerrard near Broadview. This is the best food. The restaurant is very simple and spotless. This is the second time I have dined here.
Four women were out to eat following the Met Opera. One of the women lives near Broadview and dines here often. It was the perfect choice.
We started with the Fresh Shrimp Rolls. ($3.00) They were quire large and filled with vegetables and shrimp. The dipping sauce was delicious.
The Hen is a specialty of the house. Sautéed Spicy Baby Clams are served with crispy rice crackers.($7.00) We also ordered Bun Canh Tom Ha Noi. Translated it is a Spicy Shrimp Dish with lemon grass and tamarind.($8.50) The shrimp were so flavorful and plentiful. Each dish is offered with a side of rice or noodles.
The Bun Bo Hue is a Spicy Lemon Grass Beef dish with shrimp paste.($7.50
I have been told that the giant bowls of Rice Noodle Soup are flavorful and delicious. Pho Chay offers mixed vegetables & tofu. Pho Nam included well done brisket. All the Pho Dishes are $7.50.
All the specialty soups are prepared with chicken broth. Vegetable broth is available upon request.
We splurged on an order of Fried Bananas with Coconut Ice Cream. ($5.00)
The food is all prepared fresh. The service is prompt and pleasant. This is a popular place. There were many diners on this evening. On my last visit it was fully booked. They also do a large take out.
We each indulged in a glass of wine. When was the last time you paid $5.00 for a glass of wine? Everything was prepared fresh. We had a wonderful evening. What a delightful conclusion to a day after seeing a great opera. One doesn’t have to break the bank to dine in fine cuisine.
