) "It’s great food in a place that could use better service and nicer decor."
"Really tasty broth, home made chili oil, lots of onions / green onions."
"Ordered XL roast beef noodle soup and disappointed at the portion."
5 Best Pho Ga in the city. You gotta get that white meat for extra $1 ;)
5 New favourite pho place! The spicy noodle and signature pho are both insanely delicious. I like that the broth doesn’t taste like it’s loaded with MSG like pho tien thanh. I’ve been thinking about it all the time!
4 Went there for diner. It was really busy inside but we got a table right away. It was nicely heated. You put in your order on a piece of paper and your food arrives at an incredible speed. We waited maybe not even 5 minutes. We were impressed. We got pho, spring rolls and fried chicken with lemongrass. It was good and we enjoyed our meal. I only wish there was more lemongrass flavor for the chicken. I was really pleased to see they had avocado shake and durian shake as well as some Vietnamese desserts. Did not try it this time but definitely will one day. Good spot to grab and enjoy Vietnamese food.
5 The Pho is delicious, the broth is so flavourful I highly recommend it. I have eaten the Grilled Pork with Vermicelli twice and would probably get it again. Food is really good in its taste and portion size.
5 Came on a Friday night at 8pm and this place was packed. This is an OG pho spot in Toronto. I haven't been here in about 10 years and I forgot how good their pho was. Their broth was super flavourful and very balanced. I also got to try their banh cuan which was good. My friends each ordered the vermicelli and a rice dish and were jealous that my pho took the W. Would highly recommend to get their pho and would come back.
5 Every time I come here, I always wonder why I don’t visit more often. They probably have one of the clearest and tastiest chicken broths in Toronto. Since I can’t have beef, finding a good chicken-based pho is always a challenge — but this place delivers every single time. I got so many pieces of tender white chicken meat, and none of it was fatty. The broth is light, flavorful, and deeply comforting. In my opinion, they also make one of the best Banh Cuon (Vietnamese rice rolls) in the city. They’re always made fresh to order, and the pork filling is incredibly tasty and well-seasoned. The service is friendly and attentive, and even though it’s cash only, there’s an ATM inside for convenience. This place is a true local gem - the kind of spot that quietly delivers top-notch, authentic Vietnamese comfort food every time.
5 This spot is the perfect place for a hot bowl of pho in downtown. They even offer complimentary hot tea, which is always a nice touch. Don't hesitate—it's definitely worth a visit!
5 Some of the best bun cuon I've had, the spot does it right. The pho broth is flavorful and spring rolls are meaty and crispy. Food came out super fast. But make sure you bring cash, this is a cash only place. They do have an ATM downstairs next to the washrooms and the service fee is a fair $1.75 per transaction.
Customers love the pho, especially the pho ga with extra white meat, as well as the spicy noodle, spring rolls, and grilled pork with vermicelli.
The place works well both for a quick bite and a relaxed sit-down meal, with fast service even when busy.
It tends to be packed on Friday nights and meal times, but tables are still available quickly thanks to efficient service.
