Each table has hockey, baseball, ...

The butter chicken and ...

Tucked away in between Mykonos and a donair stop on 1115 Centre Street North, Trong Khanh is barely noticeable to those who are driving by. With a reputation created by John Gilchrist, Trong Khanh seemed to be a good place to grab a quick bite of Pho, unfortunately we were sorely disappointed.

The restaurant itself seemed well-maintained and the warm lighting created the ideal environment for a good family meal, however ...
