  Situated in a small unassuming strip mall on Newmarket, this is a decent and authentic Vietnamese place!   Decor is cafeteria like but it's clean and service is good.   The noodles and soup base tastes good but we found meat portion a bit light.  The rice portion was generous but like the beef noodle, we find the chicken portion a bit on the light side.  The chicken was well cooked and not burnt-just wanted more if it :). A minor quibble is the sunny side egg needed less oil.
  
  Finally found a place north of RH I can come back to for authentic Vietnamese!

  Friends wanted to try this location so travelled a bit to get here. Ordered the typical house special pho and a grilled pork vermicelli.
  
  The flavour of the soup was good with the skinny noodles and it hit the spot. I wish the soup were boiling/steaming hot though, and there could've been a slightly larger portion of meat.
  
  I liked that the vermicelli came with an assortment of toppings including sausage, but I felt that the portion of noodles could've been larger.
  
  The interior pretty much has no decor nor ambience which makes it not the best place to take someone on a date, and the washrooms are only one room for each gender, so you might have to wait on a busier day. If in the area I *might* return for the pho.

  This place was really neat.  We found it when we were looking for Thai food and it was in the same plaza so... why not?
  
  We were the only people in the restaurant so finding a seat was not an issue.  The server was very attentive and came right away to help us with the menu.
  
  We are looking for the best fresh rolls, so we gave their offering a try.  The presentation was excellent, however there was a total lack of flavour.  It needed some fresh herbs or something.  The sauce that came with the rolls more than made up for it.
  
  We each ordered the Pho with rare beef and flank.  This has to be the best broth I have come across.  It was dark rich and full of flavour.  The serving size was good, but there could have been more spouts and herbs.   The flank was over the top delicious.  It took the pho to the next level.
  
  We also tried their version of pad Thai, but it wasn't too hot.  It is our fault as the Thai place was literally next door.
  
  The restrooms were immaculately clean, which is important when you have kids.
  
  Overall this place is great.  It has the one of the best pho soups you will come across.   Especially this far north.
  
  Keep up the good work.

  Service was good, the waitress was attentive and friendly.
  
  Food was not up to par. We had the chicken wings and it was not spicy at all considering we ordered "hot". The sauce tasted like typical store bought chilli sauce.  The house special pho had so little meat... i could find one piece of beef tendon and two pieces of tripe, both were so small. In fact , another table sent their bowl back and asked for tendon cause he couldn't even find one piece... I also got the durian milkshake, should have clued in when she said they use milk powder and not real milk, but my smoothie was more like an ice slushy with a hint of durian flavour.
  
  Considering the abundance of pho restaurants nearby, I'd definitely try another place next time.

  I love going here whenever I'm craving pho! The price is good for the amount you get and it tastes delicious! Great dishes with very nice employees! The food gets out in a short amount of time, hot and ready to eat!
