So I finally had some time to check out a Pho place in Toronto. There's a few things I use to judge how good pho tastes to me. The broth, the meat and whether or not I have dry mouth after I leave, that is to say, how much MSG they use.
First, let's talk about the broth. The broth was interesting in that it was a lot thicker than I'm used to. I'm used to a more light broth. Although the broth was thick, it wasn't very heavy. It didn't make me more full than any other broth. I'll give the broth a passing grade, it was weird, relatively tasty but not the best I've ever had.
Alright, the meat. The meat was hit and miss. What I mean by this is that there were some pieces of dark meat (plus) but then the chicken breast was a bit dry on the inside (minus).
Afterwards, I didn't feel too parched. I was a little bit, but not as much as I have been before from other places. There have been other types of food (wonton noodle soup) that have made me extremely thirsty.
The decor of the restaurant definitely gave me confidence that this place was an alright Vietnamese restaurant to eat at. The places that are too fancy and done up, I'm always skeptical because it's focused more on the experience than the food. For example, I don't really like Pho 88 on Spadina, but they have nice decor. Pho Pasteur is very plain, but that's how I like it.
Overall, this place gets an "Ok" from me. It passes, but I will probably go to other places before returning here. Although this would be a good place to go late night because it's open 24 hours.
