  As someone who's favorite food is pho, I hold my soup to a pretty high standard and am pretty particular about what I call good or not good.
  
  A friend moved in close by and the moving crew decided this would be the place to Chow down afterwards.
  
  It did not disappoint.
  
  The soup broth is a bit more salty and cinnamon'ish than I'd prefer, but still very good. It was consistent and had lots of flavor.
  
  The noodles were cooked well, and the serving is generous. Also like that the menu has a index by the prices on what extra stuff like noodles will cost.
  
  We also order spring rolls and pork skin rice wraps. All are very good. Prices are fair with only the spring rolls being a bit pricey at $14 for six (although it's essentially 12 as they are long and sliced in halves).
  
  Service is fairly quick and no frills friendly. And bonus points for them bringing water without being asked.
  
  I'd definitely recommend!

  This is the best Vietnamese food I've ever had. I'm Korean so many Vietnamese people might say otherwise, but Anh Dao was just amazing. You can tell they truly care about their quality all around. Our servers were friendly, informative, and helpful. The food was soooo good and CLEAN. The interior was modern, a little eclectic, and cozy.
  
  The next time I'm in town I'll be stopping by for sure.

  Part of me wants to let the staff know how great their restaurant is, part of me doesn't want to share in fear that too many people will come and they'll raise the price over how great the service is.
  
  This is truly a hidden gem in Toronto, my boyfriend lives nearby and hasn't noticed it for a whole year until I pointed it out to him. It's a hole in the wall that you pass by and will barely notice it's open which is the beauty of keeping it not overcrowded.
  
  The restaurant wasn't anything fancy or trying too hard, your typical Vietnamese restaurant with maybe a plant here and there and standard chairs and tables. Overall, seemed pretty clean.
  
  My boyfriend and I each got a bowl of pho, he got the house special and I got my usual beef ball pho, we also got the pork sausage dish to share. I don't think it's anything life-changing but it's definitely GOOD Vietnamese food. It's a very trustworthy spot to not get MSG tasting broth and it'll leave you feeling satisfied. The pork sausages were also very good and they give you a good variety of greens with to wrap it with. Another great thing is it's a pretty decent price for the portion size.
  
  The servers were very nice. Sometimes I find certain restaurants give a harder time to younger customers but this wasn't the case at all. They served us food, we said thank you, and they responded happily.
  
  I'm very happy with my experience here and I'd love to come again.

  If your in the Spadina and College/Dundas area, there are a ton of choices to grab a quick serve lunch. Anh Dao has been on my list for a stop for while, and used Google maps to find it, as if you blink, you might miss the entrance.
  
  The chef/owner/server gestures to my table-for-one near the entrance. Unfortunately I got some unexpected visitors (flies) likely which came in through the door. But i5s an otherwise clean space where the cooking is done at the back so you know everything is fresh.
  
  As the reviews attest, this is a relatively basic, no frills approach to vietnamese dining experience. I'm more into the vermicelli (bun) noodles, dry with lemongrass chicken for $8.50. A very good deal with a side of hosein for an additional $.75.  Overall, it was ok for the value. No frills, and no spring rolls or peanuts that I got used at other vietnamese places. The pho at the other tables looked great, so maybe next time I'll give it a shot. -Zuk

  This place is a hidden gem in Chinatown.
  
  The pho was excellent. The soup was nice and flavourful. I wish there was more meat though. The spring rolls were nice and fresh. The rice wrap was soft and chewy, and the shrimp was yummy, especially with the hoisin sauce dip.
  
  Overall, I'd recommend coming here. It is comparable to Pho Hung which is always so crowded.
