Always delicious! My favourite is the sizzling coconut curry dish! My go to for sure! The staff are all very friendly and polite! Highly Recommended! A neighbourhood gem for sure!
The only problem I have with this place is that when I eat here I always order the same thing (pork with the wok fried eggs and mango salad) because it's fantastic but I want to try everything else too! So many good choices!
With a name like Brooklyn Tomato, one of the last things you'd expect that they sell is Viet food! A friend and I went on a Monday evening after a recommendation from a fellow south sider. It's located in the corner near Tasty Choice and Coco's, regardless of what Google Maps says (it put me on Calgary Trail on the opposite side of the strip mall). My friend decided to make a reservation so we wouldn't have to wait, but when we got to the restaurant it was EMPTY. Like we were the only ones in the restaurant. Awkwarddd. Pretty cool though, our own table in an empty restaurant.
We asked for his recommendation and my friend got their pork chop while I got their six coloured don with tons of food in it (chicken, beef, shrimp, pork, etc). My friend also got Coconut rice with it. The coconut rice was decent. The fragrance was there, but it definitely wasn't the strongest that I've ever had which left me expecting more. My don...had a lot of food. I didn't notice too much vermicelli that came with it, but geez I swear more than half of it was food. Which is a great thing. I couldn't finish it and got it to go. Food was good, no complaints there. Solid but nothing special.
Service started out well, but towards the end it significantly deteriorated to being neglected entirely. We had to ask the guy to come over and help us with stuff which isn't a big deal but we were waiting for a while for him to come. Food was a bit on the pricier side ($16 for that don) but regardless with the quantity given it was fair. It's not a bad place to go, but I feel it's missing something to be outstanding, and I don't know what that is. I also hope that the service thing doesn't happen on a regular basis. All in all, recommended.
We ordered delivery from Brooklyn Tomato recently using Skip The Dishes. The food was very good but the delivery left a lot to be desired. In particular, the estimated delivery time was 36-56 minutes (already not great) but took at least 75 minutes. I don't think it was the fault of the delivery person who delivered the food because it seems he was added to the delivery after the previous delivery person dropped out.
The food we ordered was very good, despite the delay. Dishes were appropriately spiced based on our preferences. I just wish the delivery had been better.
Spring rolls were really fresh and good, the pho was a bit whitewashed broth wise not much complexity. No options to add brisket flank or tripe to the soups just basic things large menu of alternative options however. Clean restaurant and bathrooms, good service as well.
Great food and friendly service. The restraint was nice and clean and fairly busy during the afternoon. The food was super fresh and the price was good. Portions were pretty big for the price.
The pho we got here was very tasty, with standard portion sizes, apart from that I have to confess that I had eaten here before at their previous location and LOVED it. I, however, have yet to try their vermicelli, although I cant wait to!
Here's an inside scoop- a "friend" of mine knows the health inspector that checked this place out and it has one of the cleanest kitchens in the city. ****
Came here strictly for the Sate soup. The cost was $12.00 which is a little high in comparison to other restaurants, but it was very good. I thought the broth could a have been a little thicker for my liking. I’ve seen larger bowls also. But like I said, it was very good.
If I’m in the area, I will come back to try other dishes on the menu.
Service was quick and friendly, food was delicious, decor is clean and modern, lots of parking, and the menu had a great variety. They offered varied levels of hotness with the lemongrass chicken dishes, which was nice for one of our group who can't handle hot spices. The vermicelli bowl was gigantic! After trying several apps (chicken salad rolls, fried shrimp, and green onion cake), I ended up taking home most of of my bowl. Good value, that's for sure. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and I would come back again.
I had the tom yum with chicken, and I was not disappointed. It was a huge bowl, so I couldn't finish it all. It has more chicken and veggies than I have ever seen in a tom yum. The flavors were wonderful! It's a lovely restaurant, very clean, and service is excellent. You should consider trying this place. I'll certainly be back. Parking: 5/5. Service: 5/5. Presentation: 4/5. Ambience: 4/5. Portion Size: 5/5 Flavors: 5/5. Value: 5/5.
