Another newcomer joining the fold is Pho Ahn Vu, an addition to the growing chain that's spreading across the GTA. Its claim to fame: an ornate dining room with fake pink blossomed trees that's photographed just as much as their actual food. To be fair, their food tastes good too. If you're feeling hungry their bún thịt nướng (or rice noodles with grilled meat) dishes are very filling. It starts with a generous portion of vermicelli and tops it with your choice of protein. The grilled pork, spring roll, and shrimp on sugarcane ($22.95) offered a bit of everything including cardboard thin slices of marinated pork, a hot and delicious crispy spring roll, and a golf ball sized fried shrimp paste that made up for its petiteness with flavour. Along with a mix of fresh herbs, julienned cucumber, bean sprouts, pickled vegetables, and roasted peanuts it's a cool refreshing dish for the warmer months. My tip: try the dish with a mixture of their chili sauces. That hit of heat goes so nicely with the fish sauce vinaigrette. Their pho is tiny in comparison. The special rice noodle soup ($17.95) had a decent amount of protein with slices of rare beef tenderloin, well done flank, a couple cubes of tendon, maybe two beef balls, and a couple thinly sliced tripe, but a scant portion of noodles. So, you'll either want to upgrade to the larger size ($21.50) or add a side dish to round out the meal. At least their broth was on point - full flavoured and perfectly seasoned. I only wish it was hotter as it became lukewarm after the raw bean sprouts were added. Like the vermicelli, their pho contains several herbs creating a bright bowl of noodles.

Prices seem a bit high; my friend and I ordered 2 dishes and total came up to ~$60. Service however is good, and so is the food. Location is very convenient, and there's lots of parking if you go to the back. Interior decor is nice as well, and it wasn't too busy on a Sunday night.

As I said last time, we definitely came back more often. I really love their big bone special noodle soup. It was big enough for 2 adults and a baby to get full. We called ahead, and it was Saturday lunch time, not too busy and they still had enough inventory. This time I wanted to try the Vietnamese coffee, but normally I couldn't have a drink too cold and too sweet, so I requested to have no ice and less condense milk. The staff helped to ask the cashier, they said if I don't want the ice, and top up the cup would be +$3 towards $6.95. I said how about no ice and no need to top up? Yes, they could do that, but it turned out half cup of it, not really as they said 70% of coffee. The soup was still good quality, but drinks could be thinking about it.

Tried the $24.99 signature noodles, but nothing special. Almost $30 after tax and tips for 1 noodle. Too expensive.

Ribs pho
Almira Alice L.

The pho was very flavourful. I ordered the ribs pho it came in two bowls. One with a full bone and tendon. I loved it. If you are not a fan of tender and bones you might not enjoy the second bowl. There were two large pieces of ribs, soft. The broth was flavourful. Noodles were cooked well. The service was good too. There are lots of parking space in the plaza . They accept cash or debit only. No cash discount

Lemongrass chicken and pork rice with steamed egg

Another Pho Anh Vu! Can't go wrong with any of their dishes. Had the lemongrass chicken and pork with steamed egg and portion size was pretty big. Service was friendly. This location is very spacious and clean.

Opening weekend and the food and service were great. We tried their bun bo hue dac biet and crab spring roll that are only available Fri/Sat/Sun. Bun bo hue dac biet was plentiful and savoury with some spiciness. The crab spring roll was crispy. We also tried their pho tai, which was very classic and the meat was very tender. The restaurant is nice, but the music was on and off a lot which made the experience hilarious for us. They only accept cash or debit. There's also a draw for when you spend over $100.

I find the food stall named Soup to Go in the Sheraton Parkway food court so aptly and inaptly…read morenamed. On one end, it sounds like a run of the mill fast food joint (i.e. In and Out, Coffe Time), but the name doesn't do its Chinese name justice (Chinese name: Wellness Studio). On the other hand, the name does a great job of communicating the nature of its business: takeout and take home home style soup and meal. Regardless if you like their name or not, I think it's a good spot for this type of business. They manage to capture some of the passerbys and nearby white collar workers. On the other hand, it's not a high traffic mall, so the take home meals are a great way of increasing total customer spending. I'm basing this review purely on a takeout lunch of a steamed dried shrimp and preserve sausage and meat rice in lotus leaf. They really do a good job of balancing health and taste. I'm always wary of food that is healthy or healthier, but they end up tasting like cardboard. No such issue here. The rice on the surface looked kind of small. But they really didn't stinch on the preserved sausage and meat. The rice they used was the nice soft jasmine rice. They also purposely mixed in some quinoa. I forgot to mention that the rice also had a decent amount of dried scallop as well. Here are a few suggestions for improvement: A little bit less preserved meat and sausage, while adding more dried shrimp would be nice. The dried mushroom and shrimp can be a bit more aromatic and the lotus leaf flavour transfer can for sure be amped up. The lunch does come with home style boiled Chinese soup (or broth) and a herbal drink. Both of these were excellent. The items at Soup to Go are not cheap. The lunch with tax was just under $20. It is cliche, but you get what you pay for. Feel like drinking soup, but you don't know what is the soup of the day? You can check out their monthly schedule of soups!

We got there around 11:30AM and it wasn't busy yet but had people trickling in as the time passed. Service was a solid 5/5. Staff were so nice and happy - always smiling at us whenever they brought anything to our table. The dishes here were great with some adjustments to their dishes, I think it could be a solid 5/5! Here goes: Viet coffee 4/5 - Love me an iced Viet coffee. Was a tad sweet imo, so think they could adjust their condensed milk portions for this. Overall was a great caffeine hit drink though. Banh Cuon 5/5 - Oh my goodness - must get! Chewy steamed rice rolls with a pork filling dipped into the fish sauce. Came with grilled meats which were to die for. Bun Cha Ha Noi 5/5 - Meats were very well seasoned in the broth like sauce. It's a dipping type noodle and was absolutely divine. Bun Bo Hue 4/5 - This was good but not too spicy. Lacked a bit of umami flavour and felt like it could have used a bit more depth. Pho Bo 4/5 - Standard beef pho that was comforting and delicious. Overall a pretty solid spot for Vietnamese food. Would visit this place again.

Besides enjoying their staple rice dishes with different proteins like grilled pork and noodle soup (pho), we also tried their newest dishes. Vietnamese Crepes - bean sprouts, green beans herbs + shrimp/beef wrapped in crepe Banh Khot - small egg cakes with toppings (shrimp, beef, pork, mushroom) These dishes were very refreshing and flavorful. Definitely, Vietnamese cuisine still has a lot more to offer than just pho. I recommend you give these dishes a try!

Was wandering around the plaza and ended up at this cute little eatery where ookinza use to reside…read more The decor inside gives off Japanese vibes serving up Korean dishes. The decor is from the previous store I think called maki momo? The dine in is counter seating. The taste is definitely not your typical Korean soup spices but the pork bone was definitely fall off the bone and tender which some Korean places serve it very dry. The spicy fish and veggie soup was also different as the fish used I believe it's snakehead where other places usually have that thick cut white fish which is meh. So I really enjoyed it. Definitely don't set the expectation as authentic Korean dishes for these two dishes in terms of taste because it's quite different. The pork bone soup had a lot of garlic in it but something about the soup base gave me sukiyaki flavours. The fish soup was slightly different as well but also can't narrow down what it reminds me off but that one gave some Chinese spin to it. Although different I'd say it's unique and good in their own way, I'd go back for their grilled meat options next time. For service there is a girl who takes your order and also the one that brings you food and periodically comes by to check on you. Very friendly. Lastly, you can purchase a membership for a year for $10 and it's basically half price on their prices. -Totally worth it.

Really good food for the price and amount , more chinese leaning flavors rather than korean.read more

The interior is spacious but the hard benches in the booths are not comfy. Some pillows would help. Staff is prompt and helpful. There are windows around where the chef hand pull the noodles so you can watch how it is done. Also be prepared as they only take cash or debit. We tried the pickled daikon and spicy potatoes strips side dishes and both were tasty. Portions are huge. We also tried the pan fried dumplings which is quite soupy but not as tasty as it looks. The wrapping of the dumplings were quite hard. Definitely a miss. The hand-pulled noodles are very well made, chewy and yummy. The braised beef soup is more full flavour while the traditional soup is clear and comforting. We waited (about 15-20 mins) for a clay pot rice. It was worth the wait as it reminds of a great pot of rice that produces crispy rice bottoms. It's a good size pot full of filling and not oily. I would order clay pot rice again to try other fillings. Overall good place for hand-pulled noodles and clay pot rice.
