Value meal at Yonge and Bloor: dinner at Ginger

Rare Beef Pho @ Ginger
We knew that the cafeteria-style Thai place, Green Mango in the Yonge-Bloor area had been gone for years now. But as we are not often in downtown, we only remember it when we are in the area. We went to try Ginger instead. 

This low-key Vietnamese restaurant not only had the traditional Pho, but there was a good enough variety of everything else—vermicelli noodles, rice, Bánh mì (sub sandwiches) among others. Hubby and the girls got their usual Rare Beef Pho. The broth was good and the serving was decent.

I got Pad Thai (I know, I know…I did tell you I was looking for Green Mango, right?) with chili-lemongrass shrimp. It was ok, nothing earth-shattering but not bad, either. Again, the serving was quite decent. Grandma got Curry chicken on fried rice which was also good.

Each dish was under $8, service was fast and dishes were pretty tasty. There was a steady stream of patrons even for our early dinner. I would assume this place gets packed during peak hours. We were full and done with dinner in no time. Glad to have found this spot for quick, cheap and yummy Vietnamese!
