The waitress was polite but the service was quite slow because she was the only one on the floor. The portions were a bit small in terms of the price. The pho and pineapple chicken fried rice tasted decent. They should have hired more servers.

It's the worst restaurant in GTA I have ever been to. We didn't check the review before we came. Guys, check how many bad reviews they got recently and then decide if you should come. 1. The owner surcharged at checkout, she claimed the new menu hasn't come and it's ... legal for her to surcharge as long as she sticks a note at the check out desk. She doesn't need and doesn't have time to tell the customers in advance or stick a similar note on the menu. (It doesn't matter how much you charge, but you should tell customers sincerely in advance. There is no way you can randomly surcharge at checkout.) 2. I found out she surcharges $5 at checkout and so I refused to pay tip (the tip amounts to around $5. The owner/server then became so crazy, shouted at us, and threatened us to get out of her restaurant. 3. I ordered 3 chicken wings, but she serves 10 wings. I don't know if she didn't understand or just tried to get more money. Anyway the size was too small, so I didn't ask her to take some back. 4. The food taste was plain, and many dishes were not available. (2 well done beef Phos: Menu: 12.5 *2 Charged: 14*2; 10 Chicken Wings: 10 Charged: 12- I actually ordered 3, but the size is too small so I accept it. The server just randomly charges, the dish name on the receipt doesn't even match what I order.) (The 1st image sticky note is only on check out desk.) Read more

Shrimp rolls, spring rolls, pad thai and the pork dumplings were excellent. Good value for your money.

Passing through Barrie and felt like having some Pho. Restaurant was empty but that didn’t stop us. After reading a few reviews, I ordered the XL as someone complained it wasn’t that big. It’s HUGE. Ordered the spicy well done beef pho. It was good. Ordered some deep fried spring ... rolls as well - tastes fresh. All in all - solid 4 stars, just a bit pricy. Would have been a solid 5 stars if price point was on par with other places Read more
