Excellent value here. Food was great & we didn't wait more than 5 minutes.
They offered some lunch specials for $14.99. A quick & affordable lunch.

Absolutely amazing food, authentic Vietnamese. I went there with my team for lunch & everyone enjoyed it! I had Tonkiniose with chicken & it warmed me on a cold day… We'll be back soon!

Food is excellent & service is rapid. Had lunch late so it was not busy. Service was efficient but a bit rushed & impersonal. The food compensated for it as it was excellent with a very reasonable price. The decoration & atmosphere is odd. It doesn't fit Vietnamese restaurant & it seems they kept everything from the previous restaurant. Hopefully they will keep improving the inside as their food is excellent.

Great lunch special & quick service. Had the general tao & the portion was generous, not too sweet & not too saucy.

The lunch special is a good deal because you can choose between 10 different options & it costs $15 CAD. I got the Chicken with peanuts sauce which is good portion with rice & vegetables but I think it needs more salt & level up the profile of the dish. It's in a good path but still delivers under what I was expecting. Beyond that, service is nice & place is comfortable. Next time I'll try a different dish just to compare. Good value for your money. I ended up full.
