This new to us Viet resto in this busy plaza that is jam packed with eateries turned out to be a good option on a cold wintry night for a great bowl of pho. We ventured in to try PH as we saw one of our favourite desserts on the menu, Bahn Da Lon, the pandan layer cake. The restaurant is pleasantly decorated; much like all the new Vietnamese restaurants with lots of fake vines and flowers. I liked that they had the garlic slices in vinegar (missed the sliced chilies) to add to our meal at our table. We shared a small order of very well made deep fried spring rolls (so good that we almost ordered extra rolls) and tried the rare beef pho and the house special pho. Broth here was more fragrant than most with cardamom and cinnamon in the forefront. We appreciated the higher quality of the meat in our pho and and the addition of shredded purple cabbage in the bean sprout for our noodles. A very solid 8/10 for the pho! Our heart sank when it was finally time for dessert and we were told that they may have served the last piece of the pandan cake earlier. Our server brought out some complimentary rice & bean dessert while he went to check with the kitchen. The dessert gods were smiling on us that night as the server said we were in fact getting the last slice. :D The pandan cake did not disappoint as it was perfectly bouncy, chewy, jiggly coconut creamy goodness. Honestly, I don't know how we finished all the food we ordered that night, but it was totally worth the extra drive to come here for the great pho and excellent cake. We would definitely return to try out their other offerings and we're have to have another awesome pho option in Scarborough. read more
