I've been to almost every Vietnamise restaurant in Kitchener, and quite a few in Waterloo, and here's a few brief reviews (starting south and going north):
- Red Papaya (Fairway at Manitou-ish, 1 plaza over from the stag shop) is good, has Thai food also, nice curry.
- Pho Blue Ocean sucks
- Pho Dau Bo is good. I like the soup. noodle stuff is pretty standard.
- Damn what's it called... the one on king street right beside pho dau bo, go north 30 paces from the king street side and turn left, go up some stairs. It's kinda hidden but really good, been multiple times, cheaper than pho dau bo and the same quality.
- Pho '95... very similar to other downtown kitchener vietnamise places.
- Golden Mango... now this place I've been two a few times, it's sorta in university plaza, but east of phillip street (same plaza as Mr. Sushi, but closer to UW). Anyways, it's really really good, I love the fried bananas (is that vietnamise?), they serve a little bit of thai food also. It's soooo much better than that other vietnamise retaurant in the university plaza (I forget what it's called...).
There are a few others that I may or may not have been to. But yeah... vietnamise = good. Chinese = also good (Cameron Seafood is AMAZING.) |
Ben Thang (sp) moved to Hespeller Rd... It is good for Pho, but I hate the greasy spring rolls they serve...Pho Dau Bo is much better.
Fried Bananas? Isn't that served at sushi places? I just had it for the first time a few weeks ago.
Speaking of sushi... There is only one sushi place in k-w right? In the University plaza...?
And yes...Cameron Seafood...yummy, now I have theitch for Dim Sum...need to score that this weekend!!! |

there are several sushi places in KW, the best is a new one on king st in kicthenr called niko niko, taka in kithcner is ok, but far from downtown, mr sushi is ok, but better for takeout as it's not a very nice place, seoul soul sucks, is overpriced and they add a mandatory tip which i don't agree w/, i usually leave a generous tip when i go out anyway if the service is decent.
i've never heard of fried bananas or fried plantains at sushi |
