Our first stop is to Pho Bo Ga King, which just opened a few weeks ago.   Our first impression of this restaurant was that it was clean, and well maintained.  The service was quite good – we came in for a party of 15 and they willingly moved a couple of tables around to accomodate us.

The menu features your regular appetizers, pho, vermicelli and rice dishes.   They do serve many different types of drinks which you will notice from the posters displayed outside of the restaurant.  [edit] They also serve deep fried banana and deep fried ice cream, so make sure you try those if you haven’t before!

Aside from the “regular” avocado, mango and strawberry shakes, you can also find durian, rambutan, kiwi shakes and more.

We ordered a shredded pork spring roll which was pretty good, nothing too special.

Kendrew had an XL pho (#6 – Flank and Brisket I think) and I had a medium pho. (#6 as well). The X-Large pho was HUGE, I’ve never seen a pho bowl that big, even in Toronto.  You can compare the size of the bowl with the tea cup behind it.

Forgot to record what the prices were.  I think the prices were approximately as follows:

Prices:
Small – $6
Medium – $7
Large – $8
XL – $9

All in all the quality and service of Pho Bo Ga King are above average.  You can even try one of their special noodles and rice posted on the walls in the restaurant.  They are currently offering 10% off your bill (and doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon) so make sure you take advantage of that!
