Nothing warms you up better on a chilly day than a hot bowl of pho. Saigon Ivy on 6th Street is a hidden gem for Vietnamese food in New West. Their pho broth is the perfect balance of savoury and salty, their spring rolls are flavourful and crispy, and their Banh Mi sandwiches are generously stuffed with meat and veggies.
