Best cold spring rolls in T.O. ?

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy a bunch of cold rolls/salad rolls for a party and want to know where they have the best ones for a decent price. Downtown or west is preferred.

Thanks!

    Thanks to all - we decided to go with Vanipha - very tasty and attractive. The veg roll at Pho Phuong was totally bland!

      were you originally asking about veg rolls? the jicama, egg, sausage ones are the only ones i would consider exceptional.

      vanipha - it is on st. clair west near Christie. i promise you they have the best cold salad rolls you have EVER tasted. so fresh, always tightly rolled options, for veggie, duck or shrimp. i have served them at over 25 parties and always get rave reviews.

          i really love the jicama, egg and sausage/pork fresh rolls at pho phuong. they're fresh, a little unique and wonderfully put together. they surprise everyone i've ever had try them even though fresh rolls are de jour for them.

            do you mean the pho phuong at Dundas and Brock? (Please say yes, it's SO close to my house...)

              that is exactly the pho phuong i mean, lucky you ;)

              that particular mixture of fillings is in my regular rotation.

              There is a great Vietnamese place called "Green Bamboo" in the east end (Midland and Sheppard). They make shrimp and pork cold rolls with peanut sauce or a vegetarian ones with tofu, mango and sweet chilli sauce. They make wonderful fried spring rolls made with shrimp and chicken. I believe they cater as well - www.greenbamboo.ca

                I really like the cold veggie rolls at green mango on royal york and bloor. I won't claim they are the best, but they are definately tasty. Even better accompanied by their peanut sauce.
