And the lord spoke saying,
"Give the people their poutine," and Pong's GAVE the people their poutine, and the poutine was good.
Gravy is good, I generally like a fatter fry, but can't fault this. It's generously sized, hot and melty, and LOADED with toppings but by some miracle not soggy as one might expect with a lesser skinny fry.
Pong's, I don't know why you gotta do me like this but I just can't quit you. -

Had a family size poutine yesterday here. Overall enjoyed the poutine and the serving size was huge. Fed 5 people with some left over. Definitely a solid value. Didn't skimp on the curd and the consistency was good. Would return.
Now accepts credit cards! -

One of the best poutine I have eaten in my life so far (I'm from Montreal, so I have tried a lot of them!)
Crispy and thin fries, perfect balance between fries/sauce/cheese curds. It's generous. You can tell they put a little love in each poutine! A must, for everyone who's serious about his poutine!! -

Very interesting take on poutine! Fries are quite thin but very potatoey-tasting. They are not as crispy as usual chip truck fries. Gravy is average, and curds are fresh. I tried the lemongrass chicken Thai one, which was tasty. They have different flavours, depending on when you go!

This may be all you need to know: cheese curds and gravy part way up *and* on top.
There's nothing worse than poutine that doesn't get melty because you were too impatient to let it sit for a bit. At Pong's you don't have that problem because curds and gravy are dumped in halfway, which get nice and melty as you eat. And this is the default - no nickel and diming customers with upgrade charges. Good job, Pong's!
Prices are fair with lots of size choices. A large poutine was $7 and was more than I can eat (for comparison, a medium is $6).
If you're not a fan of skinnier fries, you may be turned off, and it's really the only criticism I can levy. Skinnier fries don't hold the ingredients as well as a thicker fry in my humble opinion.
While I haven't tried, Pong's offers daily specials and a good sized menu that extends beyond fries including burgers (beef and chicken), dogs, chicken fingers and more.
There's seating in front of the stand and a few of the tables have umbrellas to beat the heat.
I've been a loyal S&G guy for years, but I'm thinking I have a new favourite place in town... See you next time Pong's!
