Absolutely hit the spot! Very authentic don't expect some hipster place. Small combo beef pho was only 8$ and had lots of raw beef, tripe, tendon, and meatballs! Meat was fresh, soup done perfect (not too salty yay). Noodles a little thicker than I'm used to but yummy! They have all the viet staples - pho, rice dishes, vermicelli, fun drinks (I got black jelly with coconut milk). Will have to take the family here when they come visit.
Also - cash only. I walked to the BMO around the street but then found out there is an atm downstairs by the bathroom. -

OVER RATED... WAYYYYYY OVER RATED.
Five of us arrived in town super hungry and hear so much about this place so we thought we would be happy....well....not so much. We have Pho, Bun Bo Hue, Com Tam Bi Suon Cha, Banh Cuon, and Banh Cong.
We started with Banh Cong, I personally don't like this dish anyway so I can't say much about it, but my family said it's not good at all. Banh Cuon was the best of the whole meal, I had better, but over all they do have a decent Banh Cuon. Pho was just ok, the noodles in the Pho was good, but the soup is missing a lots of spices and flavor. I can't even smell the aroma of the Pho. Bun Bo Hue was....NOT Bun Bo Hue, it's more like Bun Bo, which is just simply beef broth, beef, and noodles; it would be ok if they just call it Bun Bo. The broth is missing the taste of the real Bun Bo Hue. As for the Com Tam Bi Suon Cha, the grilled pork wasn't tasty, and missing that grilled aroma; the Cha has no taste.
The service was ok, nothing to say about it.
Sorry but this place is a NO NO -

Im lacking words to describe it, just perfect I'm sure Viet noodle fan all had bun bo hue at some point, but this, is amazing and unique- the taste is better than other places and just feels more fresh.
Recommend order through Ritual if the line is too long - they pack really well for you. -

All I can say is the hype is real. Probably one of my favourite places to get Pho now. Service is quick, prices are reasonable, and food is amazing. Got the pho tai nam, spring roll, shrimp and pork roll and girlfriend got the bun. All were amazing and I would definitely come back

Finally able to leave a review for this mom and pop pho restaurant. I've been coming here for the most part of my life and the food has always been mouth watering.
My family use to come here all the time whenever we felt like eating out, so this definitely brings back some memories.
We ordered the cha gio (spring rolls x 2), pho dac biet, a small Banh cuon, and a bun cha gio. Everything came out so quickly and fresh. It still blows my mind how they pump food out so quickly but also with such high quality.
The pho broth is hands down the best. It's so refreshing and clean (not cloudy or oily). Perfect amount of brisket, beef balls, tripe, tendon, and noodles. Add some fresh lime and mint. You're golden. This is one bowl that is a definite must get when you check this place out.
I'd also highly suggest the cha gio. This is not your Asian spring roll. The wrap I believe is made with rice paper and damn it's so good too. A little bit of fish sauce... my mouth is watering right now. Must try this as well.
The Banh cuon is a staple dish too. Basically little rice wraps that you eat with fish sauce too. Bite size that is just right for an app (if you get a small).
The bun I'm not the biggest fan, although still really good. I'm just not a dry noodle kinda guy! If you're looking for a skinny noodle with some lettuce, spring rolls, and basically a salad with noodles.
Overall, I'd highly recommend pho linh to anyone that's in this neighbourhood. There's a reason why it's been around for such a long time, and continues to be busy during dinner service.
