Best name goes to a place in Cambridge called Pho Shizzle. How about Pho Phuc Lai?

PHO places are all the same to me and I've never had anything short of an enjoyable meal at all of them. There's just varying degrees of hygiene that you need to be concerned with.

What's up with that Pho place on Spadina/Dundas? They used the same cow's head for their restuarant logo as the one they use on a certain brand of cheese. At least I'm pretty sure it's the same cow.

Green Bamboo at Midland and Sheppard.

Rare with tendon pho is great and so is the spicy calamari and deep fried tofu.

There's a useful book called "Cheapeats Toronto" which covers all sorts of good food on a budget, including some great Pho. Google it and I think they have a website that lists bookstores around the GTA that carry it. I've got a copy of their Ottawa guide, and have made good use of it.

It is said that good Chinese restaurants are likely to be full of Chinese people, almost exclusively. Which restaurants are full of Vietnamese people, almost exclusively? The Vietnamese population, although not huge in the GTA, has enough people to have good Vietnamese restaurants. One of my Vietnamese friends says that Vietnamese are not a restaurant culture people like the Chinese and that many Vietnamese restaurants in the GTA are run, and frequented by Chinese, probably like the majority of Japanese restaurants having very little connection with the Japanese in the GTA being run by Koreans and Chinsese.

Second that!!!

I don't think I've ever been there when it's not busy. Contrast that with the restaurants right next door to it, who seem somewhat empty, even at lunch time.

My favourite at Pho 88? #272 - spicy shrimp in a coconut/peanut broth, and the deep fried spring rolls.
