Hoa An Restaurant

Located in chinatown among other vietnamese restaurants, this place has been around for more than 20 years. It is run by the same owners and the décor has not changed much although it has been re-​painted several times but the same pink color.
Our family favorite is the Thai hot and sour noodle soup and it seems to be a very poplar choice as I always notice other people also eating it. The price has increased over the years but it is always delicious. The soup is a bit spicy but not too bad, there are different types of sliced beef, a meatball, three shrimp, and some sliced mushrooms. If you don’t feel like soup, they have a pork chop rice plate which is a good size with different variations of additional items such as shredded pork and steamed egg pie.
We have never come across the same noodle soup with the same taste at any other restaurant so every time we come here, we order the same thing. We have noticed that they have friends and/​or family in the restaurant and can be loud but the service is very fast and the food is delicious.

It was an early dinner, shortly after 5 and the restaurant was empty when we arrived. The server brought us menus and was very prompted to take our orders, and the food arrived shortly after ordering so that was great.
I ordered 4 shrimp salad rolls for $ 6.50 which is a good price compared to other restaurants. The rice noodle was warm and the rice paper wrap was soft so I knew they were fresh. The dipping sauce was good and it made for a good light dinner.
There were a few more tables occupied when we left after 6 but not busy for a Friday evening. There’s one stall for the ladies’ washroom and clean.
