Pho Japolo

We've been going here for years for the best lemongrass porkchop on rice (61) and beef noodle soup (22). Don't let the sketchy decor and dilapidated building deter you - it becomes part of the charm over time and keeps the crowds away. The later you arrive, the more tender the beef in the soup. The soup is rich and packed full of flavour. The porkchop is tender enough to eat with chopsticks, no knife necessary, just pick-up and dig in. They must marinate it for hours and use a charcoal grill because it is packed full of juicy, smoky flavour. Be forewarned that parking is scant. Do not park next door at the Denny's or you will be ticketed/towed.

I've been going here since I was 8 years old, and their dishes are quite affordable and large. They offer a large selection of both soup noodles and rice plates. They are located right near the stops of the 240, 255, and R2 buses, making them easy to access even without a car.

This place is VERY unassuming from the outside. But inside it’s a cozy Vietnamese restaurant. The pho was very flavorful and inside was nice and clean. I would definitely come back here or order take out!
