This is my first visit to this new downtown destination. I had the BBH (Bun Bow Hue) pho which our waitress said was their most popular dish. It was spiced just perfectly; enough to be a soup to be reckoned with but it won’t scare most people away. I liked how the solids didn’t run out before the broth. My wife had a rice bowl combo 2 which came with lots of chicken. And a delicious spring roll. I also had the Vietnamese coffee but only because the didn’t have regular coffee. If tasted good but I would have preferred a regular coffee. Our service was incredibly helpful, fast and friendly. It’s really hard to to find anything not to like. We’ll be back, but next time I’ll skip the coffee. 4.5 out of 5!
Love this place. Great lunch. I have had multiple items here and they have all been excellent. The service is good as well. I have had the chicken pho. Some peanut chicken soup which I love and a vermicelli dish.
We love to head to XO on a Sunday afternoon for a quiet happy hour. While the selection of draft beers is limited, there is also a nice gin/lychee cocktail and $2.50 salad rolls on happy hour.The salad rolls are great, the papaya salad is lovely, and the skewers are tasty. The betel leaf beef is worth trying, but the calamari and spring rolls are generic (not bad though). I have not tried the pho or bun bo hue yet.We’ve not been blown away by the service, but everyone there is very nice. It’s worth dropping in to grab a drink and some appetizers before committing to a full meal, and you won’t be disappointed.
The restaurant look like a bar. It is good for adult only, we orders everything from the menu.The food is so so because it is morden Vietnamese, we saw this place on the merto news that why we came for crept. But the crept is so plain and the vegetable is not really for the Vietnamese crept.the meat and the shrimp in the crept is so plain.
I came here for lunch with some co-workers as we have not tried this place yet – and I love trying new pho places. The restaurant shares an entrance with a bubble tea place Gongcha (on the second floor) and XO Bistro also serves their drinks which I thought was neat (they also have a cool pulley system with a basket to bring the drinks down). I ordered large pho dac biet and it was fairly decent, my only complaint would be the price, it was very pricey for pho. In addition, unforgettably, the orders were also mixed up and we did not end up exactly what we ordered – in the end everything worked out but the service overall was not the best.
This was my first time at XO and I went for happy hour between 3-6, though they also have it from 9-close. Because I went during happy hour they were serving food from both the lunch and dinner menu! I have to say when I went in I was extremely impressed with the atmosphere and decor of the restaurant. It has trendy modern bar feels with lots of big windows and natural lighting. It’s attached to the bubble tea chain Gong Cha and you can order from them while you eat at XO too! We got the salad rolls for $2.50 per roll for the HH special. You have a choice of protein (shrimp, beef, chicken, pork) and we tried beef and chicken. They were both very good and I noticed they put a rolled up deep fried spring roll wrapper inside the salad roll – a yummy and unique touch! We also got the oxtail fries on HH special for $5 down from $11.95 regular. This dish was SOO good, it reminds me of when my mom makes pho with oxtail at home. It’s like an oxtail poutine with an egg on top… I highly recommend this dish. I would gladly play the full price for it if I had to. We also got the Bone marrow dish for $12.25 regular price. I definitely wasn’t expecting the bone marrow to be so big. It was absolutely delicious, though I wouldn’t recommend putting too much of the marrow on the toast per bite, as it is very flavorful. Not pictured were the green onion cake ($3 HH special), and some Jowl skewers for $3 a pop, both of which were very yummy but not as outstanding as the other dishes. All in all, I’ve rarely been so impressed with a restaurant after the first try. I most certainly will be back so I can try the pho and vermicelli bowls.. and really everything else on the menu.
