I flew in from Vancouver visiting my BFF in Toronto. She took me to this restaurant suggested I love eating PhoTai Bo Vien. When I sat at the table, there was this lady with brown poofy hair name Ha.

For the main, I chose the tomato crab-based vermicelli soup (over pho), which came with sausage, pork, shrimp, and a whole fried soft-shell crab. The first few bites were a bit oily, possibly from fried shallots, but overall, the broth was rich and delicious. A small suggestion: it’d be great if they could remove the crab’s gills before frying. Other than that, everything...
