great review and great points about Vietnamese cuisine so healthy filling but not too heavy fresh and light and combine so many different ingredients all into one tasty dish. here in Southern California we have Little Saigon with a just some of the best Vietnamese restaurants you can find there is one place only that has the tastiest fish sauce it's more murky and looks homemade with a light brown but it's absolutely to die for at first I thought it was a little funky in my first time there but each visit back to the restaurant I feel more and more in love with the fish sauce until now I'm addicted to it and it doesn't even taste fishy to me anymore just a sweet salty creamy sauce that makes me feel healthy and good

What? Accidentally dropped the sword? No, no, no. Well, according to original legend, in the early 15th Century, when the Le Loi was cruising on his boat with his guards, thinking about the way to drive the Chinese out of the country, and suddenly the giant turtle, recently died in 2016, appeared to Le Loi and gave him a sword, who later on became the king. After Le Loi successfully defeated the Chinese troops (1424 - 1427, he came back to the lake and the turtle came up to the surface and Le Loi returned the sword to the giant turtle.

Actually the first Pho Ru Vang restaurant was on St clair near stockyards and owned by the same owners that owned Pho Ga & Banh Cuon which also owns a Banh mi shop in Chinatown. Pho Ru Vang currently is in their 3rd location after moving down from their original spot a bit north of ossignton. You can tell quality has decreased and they now jacked up their prices due to the area being revamped. Better places then this in terms of quality and taste.

Very fortunate to have a couple Vietnamese restaurants nearby. It's not just the food. At my personal favorite one, they shut down the kitchen for family dinner every afternoon, and they leave the doors open, so you can still walk in, and enjoy a beer or a soda and watch tv while they eat. Considering what American and Vietnamese relations in the past, one of the friendliest restaurants I've ever been to.

You're making me want to go to Toronto. I want to get on a plane right now and get my Eastern Canadian friends together to go to this place and probably everywhere else you feature this season. I really love Vietnamese food. There is a lot in Vancouver but it's all starting to seem really fast foody and not high quality anymore but this looks delicious.

Ugh. as a Vietnamese that knows his history, the arts on this restaurant's walls are completely history inaccurate. it's not even artistic. When will Vietnamese actually draw their own ancestors in proper clothes? This art of Emperor Le Loi of Le Dynasty wearing Nguyen Dynasty clothes is like putting 80s clothes on Victorian historical figures T___T

dude you know if it's a good pho when the broth is so clear. And the eggroll- it's a legit Vietnamese eggroll with RICE PAPPER wrapper, it's a little harder and time consuming to make for restaurant, but this place has nailed! No wonder it has been around for so long. Real foodies know how to treasure good foods

It doesn't matter which part of Vietnam, Pho is enjoyed with some kind of heat from chili, be it fresh chili or sriracha. However addiing Hoisin sauce this is first time I've seen it. I personally want to keep the stock very light so I would only use fresh chili.

I can't believe the chef told him to put sauce in the soup. Changes the whole flavor of the broth. Why even spend so much effort and time cooking the broth when you're going to mask the taste with sauce? People who know how to eat pho will dip it.
