The place was very steady but we got one of the few remaining tables. The menu has a lot on it and there is another, separate menu for specials. The complimentary herbal tea was nice and hot for a very cold day. Ordered was a pho for me, extra spicy and my friend got a beef and veg dish and they subbed her noodles for rice upon her request and accommodated her peanut allergy. The food was good, also. I ordered us shrimp spring rolls to start, 2 to an order. Very good. $6. The entrees... My broth was nice, albeit mild. Not that clovey taste I've experienced at other places. My pho had shrimp, beef and chicken. It was a house specialty so it only came in a medium size. This was fine as I ordered extra noodles for $2.50 to go and had some at home for dinner tonight. And, it will feed me for lunch one more time tomorrow. The containers were leak proof and the liquid survived the drive home. The staff were unobtrusive yet attentive and kind. Said to be family owned and that everything is homemade. I'll return! I love Vietnamese food and love supporting these places. I will avoid weekends though as I was told people are lined up at the door for seating. Was it the best I have ever had? No but it fit the bill and I'm glad I live close by as there are 100 other dishes I'd like to try.

I found the noodles a bit over cooked (too soft) but the pork was very flavourful and the spring roll was crunchy and piping hot. Their broth is served hot, I'm used to it being cold. But no difference to me. Maybe prefer it cold because the dish is almost like a refreshing salad but very filling.

The potstickers were fantastic and you could tell were made in house. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the price for just 4. I should've stopped my order there, but I made the mistake of adding some General Chicken. It was made using dark meat which is fine, but the meat itself was very fatty and grisly. The sauce had good flavor, but I couldn't get past the texture of the chicken. I ended up only eat 3-4 pieces and throwing out the rest. I wonder if there's an option for white meat chicken instead.

I dropped by Crazy Pho You for a late lunch and it was great. Admittedly, I was drawn to the…read morerestaurant because of its cool punny name - yes I love puns, lol, but the food turned out to be delicious too. I got the beef and spring rolls vermicelli ($12.95) with no bean sprouts and no fish sauce. They were kind enough to offer me an alternative sauce "brown sauce" or "peanut sauce." I went with the latter and it was a little too strong in hoisin flavour for me, but I found it good in small amounts. Honestly, the beef was so well marinated and flavoured that I didn't even really need any sauce. The portion size was great. I was stuffed silly after finishing the bowl. If I wasn't such a glutton, it could have eaten half and easily saved the rest for dinner. The beef was sliced really thin, but I got a good amount. It was lean with no fatty nor gristely bits, yet it wasn't tough nor chewy, so I was a very happy camper. I loved the marinade, it was a bit sweet and very umami. Lots of flavour. The pork spring rolls were hot and crispy. They were filled with pork, vegetables and vermicelli. They were good, despite being made with the wheat wrapper and not the more traditional rice paper wrapper that we all know I love oh so much ;) The vermicelli was hot and the perfect consistency. The vegetables were shredded lettuce, carrots and cucumbers. I think the carrots were pickled. They also sprinkled on a lot of crushed peanuts and some fried scallions, so yummy, I love fried scallions. I arrived at about 2:45pm on a weekday. The guy who served me was really nice. I think he ended his shift at 3pm though, because shortly after dropping off my food, he put on his coat and headed out the door. I didn't even realize this until as he was leaving he yelled out to me "thanks, have a great day!" He surprised me, and my mouth was full but I managed to squeeze out a "thanks!" I wish he had told me he was leaving because I would have gladly settled the bill so he would get his tip. I'm hoping he got his tip regardless. After he left, I was kind of left to my own devices as despite having people who appeared to work there enter and exit, no one seemed to take on the role of server. I didn't mind this too much because once I get my food, as long as it's my correct order, I am a very low maintenance customer. Towards the end of my meal, a man who turned out to be either the owner or the owner's son appeared behind the counter, so I asked him for some more water. We chatted a bit and he told me that the restaurant has been around for 3 years. When it first opened it was "a partnership" but for the last year or so it's been "just him and his family." So it's definitely a family run business. I told him I really enjoyed my meal, and he thanked me for supporting their business. I would definitely come back. I'd like to try out their other dishes. Parking is a bit of a pain in this area, as it's street parking only, and there are a lot of restrictions, but if you don't mind walking a bit, you can find parking a little further out.

On a good day there are fair number of tables on the sidewalk as well. We had many different items and some of them we shared although some of them have visited on Wednesday their all vegan day, they pleasantly surprised of the the items they had our first we were blown away. We had Vegan Brekkie Bun - a Just (vegan)Egg topped with vegan cheeze, tomato and chili crisp. Absolute gem. The chilli crisp made all the difference. If all breakfast sandwiches were like this. Take this McD and TH - you can never do this. 5 Spice Tofu Bun - a massive burger of deep fried crisp spiced Tofu topped with relish, lettuce, on a home made bun. To eat you must cut in half or it is huge. But the burger was again absolute gem. Would have loved fries with it to make it a typical burger meal. However my side was... Congee - a simple dish of far east. Family and me were ready for a bland bowl of Congee. The first spoon I had and if the above two dishes were 10/10, this was off the charts. The gentle Ginger taste with some mushrooms and deep fried golden garlic. Creamy rice in every spoon and this was heavenly. The Ratio Coffee was disappointing and Lemon Tea was good. I wish this was not 500kms away for us. I wish we could visit on every Wednesday
