Pho Hung $30 Gourmet [?]

Reviewed by Toronto LifeBeneath the beatifically smiling effigy of a scarlet cow, this restaurant’s bright and utilitarian dining room receives a steady stream of hungry visitors, drawn by the promise of Vietnamese broth and truly exceptional prices. Rich, flavourful beef pho is but one of many varieties of soup; the expansive menu also contains impressive selections of vermicelli, rice and house special dishes. Cold spring rolls—a crunchy mix of vegetables and shrimp—are a good place to start; but a wholesome bowl of chicken congee provides a welcome alternative in winter weather. A tender fillet of salted earthenware-cooked fish derives most of its flavour from its peppery sauce. Milkshakes are a good alternative to the small alcohol selection.
