    Shrimp Satay and Grilled Chicken Vermicelli bowl
    Jennyfer A.

    I am giving this place 4 stars because my friend really liked his meal but I could have given it a 3 stars because the waiter or cook didn't follow my directions on what I wanted to eat. My friend did, however, love his Shrimp Satay and Grilled Chicken Vermicelli bowl. It was a big bowl and everything was well cooked. But when it came to my food, items were missing. I ordered number 36, Shrimp AND Crabmeat Vermicelli soup with Tomatoes and Tofu but NO PORK. I told the waiter I want everything but no pork. When I get my soup the shrimp and crabmeat is not there. Maybe the waiter didn't understand my English words. I don't know. I decided to eat anyways because there was no pork and even though I wanted seafood it still smelled tantalizing. I think there might have been crabmeat in my soup at one point because there was traces of meat disintegrated in the water but no chunks of shrimp. The noodles were delicious and the tomato and seafood flavor surprisingly went well together in the soup. The fruit pieces served before our meal was fresh and tasty though and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere.

    Pho tai. Extra beef. All the trimmings.

    An absolute must when looking for authentic Pho. I can only assume that the rest of their dishes would be on par with the pho they serve, but don't quote me on that. Whether hungover, sick, or just plain hungry, Pho Kim Tuong is one of two go-tos that I have for the Vietnamese phenomenon that is Pho. The broth is super flavourful, and the soup is always served piping hot! The service can definitely be a hit or miss; but I have learned not to have super high expectations in the service department at these types of joints. Our experience yesterday however, was amazing. They must have had 5 different staff on the floor, our soup was out within 10 minutes, and we were given complimentary tea and a fruit plate when we were finishing up. After paying our bill we were given a Vietnamese calendar along with a "Merry Christmas", this was definitely our best experience here to date (who doesn't love presents?!). Also important to note: they have a GREAT selection of beer here, at extremely reasonable prices. Domestic bottles are $3.75, while imports (Stella, Heinekin, etc) are a mere $4.50. New pre-game location perhaps?

    One of my favourites for Vietnamese food in the city! Decor is updated and clean, staff are friendly and food service is fairly fast, and food is absolutely delicious. My go to dishes are the pho tai (pho with rare beef) and the grilled pork and spring roll (V6) vermicelli bowl (or aka bun bowls). The pho broth is delicious and they bring out all the fresh veggie and herb dish with it along with the birds eye chili. One of the best phos in the city. The vermacelli bowl is another winner as I love their grilled pork. They also serve up very good stir fry dishes like the basil shrimp and ginger chicken. I find their portions to be a better value than other Vietnamese places. Dinner is busy but their food service doesn't have you waiting long. They also bring out a nice complimentary plate of fruit for you to eat post dinner. Parking is on Ellice. This place is directly across from General Wolfe school.

    I found out about Pho Kim Tuong from a friend of mine. After seeing photos he posted on Facebook, I had brought my husband here on several occasions. The restaurant is kind of dark when you enter inside, except for the light fixtures they have on. There is barely any natural light going into the restaurant at all, except for the table that is in front of the counter where you pay. So for someone like me who likes to take photos of my food in natural light, that was a downer, but the food totally makes up for it. I've never had their pho before, but my husband seemed to think it was quite good. He always orders the pho tai, which is the one with just rare beef. It comes in small ($7.50), large ($8.50), and extra large ($11.50). The spring rolls were also quite good, and you can get them either with meat or vegetarian. They don't ask you which kind you want, so make sure you let them know. It also comes in small ($3.50) or large ($5.95), and we usually order the large which comes with 6 spring rolls, and comes with a nuoc cham (fish sauce based) dipping sauce. One of my favourite things to order is their bun rieu, which is a tomato and crabmeat based broth, served with vermicelli, fried tofu puffs, cha lua (vietnamese sausage), sliced pork, and topped with fried shallots, scallion, and cilantro. There are also various herbs, bean sprouts, and lime provided for you to add into your bowl. Usually when my family makes this, we would add shrimp paste for additional flavour and enhancement to the broth. Shrimp paste is an acquired taste, so do be careful if you plan on trying it. Also, they don't automatically provide you with the shrimp paste. I happen to ask the server if they have any, which they did, and brought some to me. So whenever I order this dish, I always ask for shrimp paste to go along with it. Another thing is, this is the only place in the city which seems to have this dish, because I haven't seen it in any of the Vietnamese restaurants that I've been to. Also, like most Vietnamese restaurants, they don't usually provide much table service. The only time they will come to your table is when you're ready to order and when they bring food to your table. Otherwise, they don't really check up on you, and if you want a drink/water refill, you'll have to call them over.

    no bad, There is a little less food, and the taste is not bad. It doesn't feel as good as the other one in my mind.

    This place has changed. My last visit was a year ago. Just visited today and food quality and menu…read morehave changed. They seemed to have a new owner. Its no longer authentic. Ordered chicken salad wrap. Instead of using grilled chicken, they used packaged chicken breast chunks. Ordered lemongrass chicken platter. Instead of properly grilled lemongrass chicken meat, they served a large chicken leg with bone. Fish sauce has no flavour. Will not visit again!

    I had an ok experience dining here. When I get off a plane I like having Pho as it's such a…read morecomfort...so I've had a lot of Pho due to my travels. I ordered the salad rolls with pork and shrimp...structurally very substantial in size and full of stuff. One could just order a few of these and have a nice filling meal. That said, the peanut sauce wasn't particularly creamy or pea-nutty. The pho is served in a moderately size bowl, but they didn't offer a lot of sprouts or basil. The salad roll had basil as a garnish and I put them into the pho. Also, there wasn't a lot of depth of flavor in the soup base itself...it wasn't watery just bland. Lastly I order the crepe sweet potato and shrimp. To describe this as a "crepe" has never had a crepe (made in the French tradition). It's not at all pancake like and more like a hash brown with shrimp. It was good and crispy but not at all what I expect. The restaurant has amazing ambience, kudos to the decor...with a wall length mural of a peacock and hanging paper lanterns...the restaurant looks exotic. Lastly, service was also just ok, not special or fast. Also, I got my entire order all at once, which I hate especially since I like having Pho hot. When one gets everything at once stuff gets cold! The cooks have no sense of timing (seemingly) and are more concerned about getting the order out. Overall, it's a beautiful restaurant full of charm with ok food and care for the customer. If you're not as exacting as I am about Pho and dining out in general...you may like it...the food is certainly filling.
