Pho Mi Asia

The staff here cannot comprehend English. We wanted to sit on the outside of a 6 person table instead of the inside as it was tight and crowded. She said no, and then proceeds to sit another couple on the outside. Poor customer service…

Best phở place in Downsview! Order 205 is one of my favourites which includes beef balls and think slices of cooked beef! The broth is very fresh and has a nice kick to it. Little or no MSG in my opinion since I don’t get thirsty after drink the beef broth. Order 528 rice dish is generously portioned and ideal for food coma afterwards! Order 302 and have it with dry glass noodles on the side. This option is similar to dip ramen in Japan but of course a Vietnamese style! Very tasty indeed!
Service wise is same across the board on all phở. Don’t expect much! Waitresses have basic understanding of English. Eat and go! Not an ideal environment to spend time at!

Vietnamese restaurants are known for efficient service but this one has gone overboard. I arrived around 9pm on a Saturday night and they had a bunch of chairs stacked up and a lady was sweeping. The restaurant was half full. So I went in and asked if they were closed. They said no and seated us at a four person table.
My table ordered cha gio, bun bo hue, and two rice dishes. While we were waiting for our food, they asked us to move to the long table. We were a party of three. So they picked up our tea cups and teapot and we moved there. None of the dishes were good! I had to add extra fish sauce to my bun bo hue because it was so tasteless. The meat also tasted odd.
Before we finished eating, they sat another party on the outer section of the long table. It was impossible for me to get out so I had to ask the other customer to get up first. How inconvenient. I know that some restaurants do seat different parties at the same table but only when they are packed. The restaurant was only half full yet they sat the other party at the long table with me because they were now cleaning and sweeping the back section of the restaurant.
There’s a bunch of other phở restaurants nearby. Take your pick and avoid this place.

+: Food is decent. Phở (rare beef phở) is not too oily compared to some other Vietnamese restaurants.
-: Service is not good. Waitresses are rude. Place is fairly dirty in general. Small space, so very crowded at times.

Can I give negative stars? My experience with this place was HORRIBLE.
— arrived on a late holiday Sunday night pretty desperate for food, staff sweeping the floor with dirt and food residues two hours before closing and half the people still eating. The chairs were flipped upside down onto table so when the staff put chairs down to sit us, we got concerned and had to clean our own table and utensils.
— waitress was VERY rude, she sat us on the inner end of a long table facing a wall where it wAs impossible for my friend to get in and out with people on the outer end. We had clearly asked for a new table, and there were empty seats on other half of the restaurant, but waitress plainly said no.
— now the food: we were praying that food would be amazing cuz we were so hungry that we would just let go of poor service if food was good. But phở soup was very salty, noodles starchy, and beef brisket tough like rubber
— we asked for our bill to get the hell out, the lady pointed us to cashier, no word. The bill came to be 16.95, we paid 17 (even that was too much tip) the lady looked at the money and said to us: the bill was 16.95, repeatedly. How they thought we were gonna leave any tip was beyond me.

I literally thought this was one of the most conflicted restaurants I’ve ever been to.
First off, the restaurant itself was diiiirty. I’m okay with dirty tables, dirty floors, and dirty walls. I cannot cannot cannot find hair in my food or I lose my shit.
There was a looong piece of hair in my boyfriend’s soup and as I look into the kitchen. nobody there was wearing any sort of protection against falling hair.
The phở here is average but not fantastic and the rice (chicken, pork chop, and egg) my boyfriend ordered was decent but his rice was sogging into congee.
The waitresses are all about efficiency and it comes off as a bad attitude.
I’m trying to pack up my phở (to go) she’s reaching OVER me and knocking into my hand as I’m trying to pour the soup into the container. Nope. There was nobody at the door and more than half the tables were empty — you can wait until I’m done pouring.
This makes me sad because I enjoy the Phở Mi Asia in Burlington.
PS. Try Forget Me Not down the street, the only reason I was here was because they’re closed on Mondays.

Came here today on my way to Yorkdale for Christmas shopping. Ordered my typical item bun bo Hue. While the broth still flavourful, the sausage didn’t taste fresh at all. This is a let down and I hope they improve on the quality control and consistency. Everything else is ok, they don’t skimp on the portion and tables are still being turned efficiently.

Worst customer service! Server was in a «loud voice» talking to us (feels like she’s yelling) We ordered Large soup, grilled pork with rice & a veggie rolls but The server asked us to order more since we were 4 in a table. Eventhough my husband doesn’t want to eat! Server still insisted us to order one more. Lastly an insect is roaming around our table while we were eating! I don’t recommend this! Will never come back here

Great phở. Giving it 5 stars to bump up its rating after going to some high rated phở places that were horrible.

Food is very good. However very tight and uncomfortable as we had to share our table with others. Very busy, service is quick.

An update of an update of an update .
Went there again today …
Spouse had the phở bun bo — spicy beef soup from Hue … mmmmm. I had my usual vermicelli with grilled pork. Tasty. Fresh … and we had two of the fresh salad rolls. Rice paper sheets were warm, i.e. FRESH. I love, love this place. And the café sua da — the BEST. Good Vietnamese coffee, strong — but smooth — and sweet. What’s not to love.

Best phở place to go in the downsview area. I been eating here for years. Since my uni days and I still frequent phở mi asia whenever I am nearby. The bun and phở are bomb. Rice dishes are another solid choice as well. The staff are basically the same ones I knew many years ago. Service is what you expect. You treat them well, they treat you well. Tip them please!

A craving for strong Vietnamese style coffee, no matter how heavily calorie induced the condensed milk is in the bottom of the cup. the nerve of even counting calories!!!
Asian specialty coffees have a place in my heart.
Oh and the PHO here, you ask? Authentic with great tasting slices of protein and the soup base is darling to taste buds and ass kicking remedy to every cold symptom imaginable. The first sip of the hot soup makes everything better again, hunger pain wise.
The place went through much needed renovations, they got rid of the awkward green walls and splashed some modern taste for a refreshing and upbeat place, great choice.
Staff seem alert enough for a quick response to hungry monsters like me, with the normal request for wooden chopsticks for moi and a fork for the baby girl. Then hot sauce galore to bang bang those sinuses away.
My check-​ins don’t do justice to the many times I’ve come to visit but do take my word that their special beef soup is highly recommended to anyone in need for a quick, authentic and satisfying bite.

Authentic Vietnamese food. The phở, vermicelli, rice and sour fish soup combo is great here. Service can be a dud sometimes but it’s a minor setback when it comes with good and cheap food.
Be careful of double charges. A friend ordered a drink and when he never got it he reminded them and they tried to charge him twice.

When it comes to comfort during those nasty cold winters, I seek for phở. This is my favorite spot in the North York area. I like this restaurant because there broth is delicious. This isn’t a place for good customer service, beautiful décor, nor is it a place to seek for smiling faces. It is simply a place for traditional phở.
I have been going here for years and I never get tired of it. As I write this, I am starting to crave for phở. Should I eat that again today?
It is an affordable adventure. I mostly enjoy good food at an affordable price. I usually just get a large bowl of phở, shrimp & pork rolls, and an avocado shake. The rolls are nothing great, but I enjoy it. There vermicelli bowl, chow mein, and their egg noodle soup is worth trying.
My rating is a 4, for their good phở! You will be a happy camper. Now how many times have I said phở?

Hands down the most authentic Vietnamese food in the GTA, very delicious Phở, vermicelli, and rice dishes. They serve you a side of beef broth soup with your rice order! Which is how it’s supposed to be, it’s sad how most places fail to do that these days. I come here often from the other side of town. Easily my favourite. Service is fast and attentive and I absolutely love hearing the Vietnamese ambient music as I slurp on a perfect steaming hot bowl of Phở Dac Biet.

This was one of those cold, dreary and windy night when one craves for a hot, steaming bowl of Phở! We searched for a nearby Vietnamese restaurant. This place sprung up that was close by.
I am very disappointed with the food and the customer service of this place. The lady at the front desk treated us as if she was giving us the food for free. The flavor of the soup was nothing to write home about. We have tried numerous Phở restaurant and this was the worst in Toronto. Enough said.
I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Atmosphere: nothing special, table was not well cleaned
Food :
1. Bun Bo hue: way too much fish sauce, not a lot of meet, veggies were in fresh
2. Banh Cuon: flour roll was unfresh
Overall: won’t be back.

This is my go to spot if I’m driving along the 401 and a get hit by a sudden craving for Phở.
Usually it’s coming back into town from some road trip in the west (ergo anything west of the Saugga).
If I’m hungry and I’m thinking, I’m not going to make it back home to cook (let’s be honest too lazy) I’ll pull off the Keele exit and head north.
It’s a solid bowl of broth, and you get all the yummy bits in their special.
Nothing pretentious or super special. just a solid no non-​sense bowl of Phở.

this place is my go to place (and phở linh).
The food comes out within 10 minute of ordering and it’s probably as authentic as it can get. Being raised by a vietnamese mother, i’ve had good, authentic food my entire life, but when she doesn’t feel like cooking something that I’m craving or when I want comfort food this place is where I go.
Service is as expected for an asian place, not very personal, the servers are just focused on bringing you your food and then you eat and you’re out. When I want a milkshake or the durian or avocado shakes this is the place I go to as well.
