A selection of robust Vietnamese coffees provides the necessary caffeine kick through rich, sweetened condensed milk profiles. The interior aesthetic prioritizes functional simplicity, creating a streamlined environment that facilitates quick service and focused consumption. Patrons interact with a concise, high-quality offering that emphasizes texture and deep, layered flavors rather than unnecessary complexity.

Good value for lunch

I knew I had a problem when the young lady working the phone recognized my voice.
I used to work two minutes away so I'd order the chicken bun & sesame balls. So good.
Sitting inside is cozy & friendly & if you can dodge the ubisoft lunch brigade that has ruined going out for lunch all over the neighbourhood all the better.

I am a vegetarian, & I had the lunch special with the vegetarian option of tofu. The rolls were fine filled with cabbage as expected, & moderately flavorful, but the dish was tasteless. Whenever I eat somewhere that is not vegetarian oriented, the tofu in a dish is typically tasteless. I would not go back.

Our favourite Vietnamese place! Phenomenal Pho & Banh Mi! Staff is kind & welcoming. Lunch special is a great option for warming yourself up on cold winter days.

Great lunch deal for $19 where you get one of three appetizers & a main course. Highly recommend the pho, especially the grilled chicken option which included a smattering of vegetables.
