It’s only been a month since my last write-up on Pho Thai Hoa (on Kingsway), but my Asian soul wasn’t complete without a fix of pho on subsequent weekends. As I frequented this place more and ate a bit of everything else I honestly believe that I owe it to people who read the last write-up a revised review. By no means was I untruthful last time around, but there are some minor points I should backtrack on.

Some say chicken soup warms the soul, but for me it's a bowl of noodles, especially Vietnamese pho. Can I call this Asian soul food? They're large bowls of warm, steaming goodness that reach my heart (and stomach!) on the occasional weekend. Lately I've been frequenting the Kingsway and Knight area, where a good number of Vietnamese restaurants are situated up and down Kingsway. It's not hard to pick which restaurant to go into because some are busy, and some are definitely not. One that seems steadily busy is Pho Thai Hoa at the corner of Kingsway and Perry Street.
