Pho Cuu Long Mien Tay

What is Pho Cuu Long Mien Tay? Anchoring a bustling strip on Jane Street in Glenfield-Jane Heights, Pho Cuu Long Mien Tay is a revered family-run institution dedicated to the distinct, bold cooking of Vietnam's Mekong Delta. The dining room is unpretentious and utilitarian, packed tight with simple laminate tables, flat-screen televisions, and a loyal multi-generational crowd slurping broth shoulder-to-shoulder.

Pho Cuu Long Mien Tay Menu & What to Order While the aromatic V45 beef pho satisfies purists, the kitchen's real mastery lies in regional Mekong specialties like Bun Mắm, a deeply funk-forward, aromatic fermented fish noodle soup brimming with seafood and crisp herbs. Table-sharing is rewarded with the caramelized Cá Kho Tộ (braised catfish in clay pot) paired alongside sour Canh Chua tamarind broth, or the crackling fish sauce chicken wings served with chewy sticky rice. Cool down the heat with a refreshing Goi Ngo Sen (lotus root salad with shrimp and pork) and a slow-dripped, condensed-milk Vietnamese iced coffee.

Know Before You Go Seating is strictly walk-in, and you should anticipate a lineup during peak weekend lunch hours and weekend dinners. Plaza lot parking makes driving straightforward, though the 35 Jane bus stops steps from the front entrance. The kitchen operates smoothly seven days a week with steady hours from 11:00 a.m. straight through to 10:00 p.m.
