Don’t shy away from Oxtail Pho & Banh Mi’s bright yellow exterior; let it welcome you in. The cheery shade is owner Linda Tran’s favourite, and the different shaped, mounted cutting boards that display the menu add to the generally upbeat ambience. Although serving up primarily Vietnamese fare, a number of Oxtail’s dishes are influenced by Thai and and Chinese cuisine. In fact, its bestselling items of 2018 included Vietnamese-style iced coffee, Korean-inspired shrimp and kimchi fried rice and the barbecued duck over rice, which is just delicious. Suffice it to say, beyond its namesake pho and banh mi varieties, there is something for everyone to enjoy from Oxtail Pho & Banh Mi.
