Great food and prices, but the owner needs to mind his manners!: This place has great pho (Vietnamese beef noodle soup) and bun (cold rice noodle salads) and the prices won't break the bank. That's probably why it's so popular with the university crowd as well as the diverse local neighbourhood.<br/><br/>Their jackfruit milkshakes and fresh-squeezed lime and orange juices are refreshing on a hot summer day. Their summer rolls of minced shrimp wrapped around sugar cane are also a tasty treat!<br/><br/>The only food that leaves a bit to be desired is their "Thai red curry" and "Pat thai". This is obviously a Vietnamese restaurant first and foresmost, as the curries are not authentic and neither is the Pat thai. Go down the street to the restaurant "Eat in Thailand" if you want authentic Thai food.<br/><br/>The only potential detriment to this business is the owner. He's very friendly and will come to your table to tell a joke, or two, or six as he did on my last visit. However, he told a couple of racist jokes and made some racist remarks which a few patrons would have been offended by had they overheard him. It was very unprofessional on his part and he should no better, minding his manners and keeping his thoughts to himself.<br/><br/>Other than those two negatives, it is a quality restaurant where the food is consistently good, the service is prompt and the takeout is always on time!
