REVIEW: Phoga Banh Cuon in Toronto


Have you ever been led astray by the plethora of Vietnamese restaurants in Toronto? Scared to go looking outside of your comfort zone of, let's say, Pho Hung?

Don't fret anymore for Phoga Banh Cuon is a place wherein one can seek comfort and solace (even on one's least courageous of days).

Specializing in Banh Cuon (see image above), this place turns out freshly made rice flower rolls, made to order, filled with delicate ground pork and wood ear mushrooms. Sounds amazing, no? It gets better, believe it or not. Douse these babies with delicious nuoc cham marinated with scotch bonnet peppers and garlic and you'll be set for life. All of this for only $6 a pop. Sound too good to be true? Check it out for yourself!

Phoga Banh Cuon is located at 1772 St Clair Ave West in Toronto and also has your standard fare of Pho and Bun. Come early on weekends as the place fills up quickly.
