Pho Ben Thanh
We visited Pho Ben Thanh on our way from a fantastic weekend Pelee Island camping trip back to Toronto. It was getting late, and I was getting hungry, so we thought - what is quick, cheap and satisfying? Pho immediately came to mind. I quickly whipped up out my iPhone and started looking for Pho places near the 401. Pho Ben Thanh came up, and since it had relatively good ratings, and was right off the highway, it was a no brainer.
Once we arrived at the restaurant, we somehow was made to wait for 5 minutes before being seated, even though the restaurant was mostly empty. That annoyed me a little. However, the waiter was prompt and the food came relatively fast.
Between the two of us, we ordered spring rolls (deep fried), a Ben Thanh Special Beef Soup, and a Malaysian Seafood Laksa Rice Noodle.
The springs rolls and special beef soup were in line with my expectations, but it was the Laksa rice noodle that stole the show. Flavourful and aromatic, it offers a delightful feast for my palette. Granted, I would prefer for there to be more "seafood" - fish balls and imitation crab meat is not really seafood in my opinion, but for less than $10, it offers a good value.
In summary, if you're in the Cambridge neighbourhood next time and looking for a quick satisfying budget-friendly meal, head to Pho Ben Thanh and go for their Laksa noodle soup.
