I don't know what's happened to this place! I've been going there for years, but I'll never go again. It appears to have been taken over by somebody else.
Food was awful. Curry was tasteless, so I rang them to complain very politely and the guy I spoke to just hung up. When I rang back, I asked him why he had hung up and he said 'We are closed!" This was at 9-00pm on a Saturday.
Awesome food!! Totally to die for! All the curries are excellent, especially if you order them with tofu!!! I mean, the fried tofu soaks up the curries and tastes divine!! All vegetarian dishes here are exceptional!!
The prices are reasonable and the service is prompt! Always have the frshly squeezed sugarcane juice! Divine!
Visited the restaurant around 7pm on a Monday night with 3 friends 2 weeks ago.
Overall:
A QUIET restaurant with minimal and outdated decor, which serves DESCENT food, with BIG portions (except for Pad Thai) at a RESONABLE price.
FOOD:
SPRING ROLL: Very crispy and delicious with perfect amount of fillings. Everything in the fillings were finely julienned.
SHRIMP PASTE ON SUGAR CANE: The shrimp paste was soggy and lack shrimp flavour but well seasoned. The sugar canes were sweet. The peanut sauce was too strong for the dish, should serve with fish sauce instead.
VEMICELLI BOWL W/ SHREDDED PORK, PORK CHOP & SPRING ROLL: large portion with lots of vemicelli, meats and veggies. Tasted very good.
RICE PLATTER W/ PORK CHOP & SPRING ROLL: Large portion with good amount of meat. Very tasty.
PAD THAI W/ PORK & VEGGIES: Considerably small portion. Still good amount of meat and veggies and good flavour.
Vietnamese Crepe: Looks like an omlette with bean sprouts and bbq pork and few shrimp. The crepe texture is like slightly elastic and chewy (in a good way). It was pan fried to golden brown. Very fill pork and shrimp, but lots of bean sprout. The side salad was nice and crisp.
Avocado / Coconut / Papaya Shakes: Both avocado and papaya shakes tasted good, but the coconut one lacked flavour. **All shakes were made from powder / frozen concentrate**
SERVICE:
The food arrived very quickly (15-20 mins after ordered) as there are only 2 other tables present and be served food. The drinks on the other hand took a very long time (30-40 minutes) to arrive, especially when they were made from powder / frozen concentrate.
Pho Kinh Do is probably my favourite Guelph restaraunt!
My family and boyfriend go at least once a month.
My family is open to new food, but my boyfriend wasn't until we brought him here! He loves the food.
Everytime we come we order the same thing.
The shrimp pad thai is to die for in my opinion, Fresh Shrimp rolls are great and the peanut sauce is one of my favourites. The shrimp vermacille is wonderful, and I keep hearing raving reviews from them about the dish with oranges, cashews, rice and chicken. I don't recall what it is called but apparently it's great!
The atmoshpere is a little tacky, and service can be slow, but it's not going to stop me from coming with my family one day!
Best Pad Thai EVER!!! Does anyone have the recipe????
Pho Kinh Do has the best Pad Thai you will ever eat. Period. I have scoured cities looking for someplace closer which could compare but alas, I continue to make the trip back time and time again, as nothing ever comes even mildly close to Pho Kinh Do!
It is a little spicy so if you don't like the spice, order something else as they have a varied menu which will appease anyone. Even my picky boyfriend this past week-end ordered the basic Chicken Fried Rice and said it was the best he's ever tasted.
I could eat at the Pho Kinh Do every night for the rest of my life and die happy. Go and enjoy! I always do!
