Severe gluten allergy. They have clearly labeled GF items and a dedicated fryer. Highly recommend. Delicious. EDIT: it was so good I went again today. Just as delicious. No symptoms from gluten at all from my meal yesterday. 10/10 recommend if you have a gluten allergy.

What a great little hole in the wall place for lunch. The food was terrific and very fresh. The staff is friendly and the service good. ITEA was recommended to me and it did not disappoint.

June 12 - Just tried the beef noodle soup. The broth was delicious and the meat to noodle ratio was great! I also learned today that they don't add any MSG to anything! On a previous visit I tried the real fruit mango bubble tea. It was really good as well! I always avoid powdered bubble teas because they taste too fake so I'm glad there's a place in town with yummy real fruit. Can't wait to try the other menu items!

Very clean and nicely put together, I loved their menus! Such good food! Came out quickly piping hot and fresh. I'm more used to my food being spicier, but it was still flavourful, I can tell it's a little toned down for the area. If you like your pho spicy, ask for extra spice. The servers were super quick and attentive, very very friendly. Never a water cup empty. Definitely a nice relaxing place.

Best vermicelli bowls we’ve eaten. Lots of fresh lettuce, cucumber, bean sprouts and it was crispy and refreshing. The chicken satay was spicy! The noodles and vegetables cooled it down, as did the mango bubble tea. Such a great mix of flavors. There was a sprinkling of peanuts on the top and a mild sauce served on the side. The portions were huge,and we couldn’t finish our meal. The owner/cook came out of the kitchen to check that we were happy.

I ordered the beef broth with sliced beef, tendon, tripe and beef balls. Delicious! The broth was very flavourful and the portions were generous. The honeydew bubble tea had the right amount of sweetness and the pearls were perfect.
