Bong Lua Vietnamese Restaurant

The raw beef pho is so fresh, chicken wings are very yummy ???

Came to Toronto for a visit and stopped by this Vietnamese joint. Everything was so delicious. We ordered the spring rolls which were freshly fried. As well as the special beef pho and Bun Rieu (Tomato crab soup noodles) the soup was nice and hot, and very soothing. We will miss their pho and hope to visit again when we are in Toronto next time.

Not bad but could be better! The bun rieu had great soup but barely any meat. They did give half a crab but it was very hard to get all the meat. The bun bo hue is on the spicier side but had lots of meat. The viet coffee was a bit disappointing, it tasted a bit too watered down.The whole restaurant was not very bumig and smelt a bit funky but the food was decent and it was quite busy.

I've always wanted to try tomato crab meat soup but it seems to be an uncommon item on menu. Well well well~ they do have it on the menu.This homey family-owned Vietnamese restaurant may be small. But you've got to try this noodle soup. Bún riêu is a type of vermicelli with tomato crab soup. The broth was sweet, rich in taste and aromatic, like a whole family of crabs were added to make the soup. But honesty, you'll have to test your luck, as you get crab claw sometimes, or the leg/body this time... but its crab paste is already good enough~It offers two sizes and mine was a small sized version. I'd say it's a pretty decent size for me, as I ordered an appetizer as well.The spring roll was so flavourful, but I'm not a fan of CARROTS. Picky eater just wanna pick all carrots out... but the filling was so tightly packed, it's almost impossible to pick out... thank goodness it's delicious enough for me to ignore the carrot part (dipping in lots of fish sauce)I crave this noodle soup whenever I wanna have Vietnamese food. But my doctor is not gonna approve because of its high cholesterol level LOL

A nice hidden gem of Scarborough's Huntingwood Square. They recommended Spicy Beef Carrot Pho. There was one medium sliced carrot in it and a reasonable amount of meat. My pho had lots of noodles which I appreciate. It wasn't as spicy as I like, but it's acceptable for most Asians. I also had spring rolls. It was crunchy, taste good with vinegar and sriracha. I went on Monday dinner, and I was the only one in the restaurant. It tends to be fully packed on weekends. Overall, delicious pho and food!
