I got the pho combo: small pho tai nam + spring roll ($10). The soup base is on the sweeter side and not very strong with beef flavour. I found that the meat portion was on the small side given the price. (Solo small pho $8.50). It came with a side dish of lemon, jalapeño, bean sprouts, basil leaves. Odd that it came with lemon since it's usually lime. The spring roll was crispy, juicy and also slightly sweet. The fish sauce presence is strong with this restaurant.
On a cool, wet and drab Friday night, with no inclination to cook, we decided to go out for dinner and get some comfort food in the form of a hot bowl of noodle soup. Our first choice of restaurant was strangely closed on this day, so our next choice was Pho Hong on Fraser St (at East 49th Avenue). It was pretty quite on this evening, and were seated immediately at a small table by the entrance. The place is a hole-in-the-wall type restaurant.
Not one of my favourite Vietnamese restaurants but food is decent and it is authentic Vietnamese restaurant. I normally order the rice that comes with egg and pork chops pr bun bo hue here. My friend ordered the pho here and he said it tastes not bad.
