Pho Nam Dinh

I love this place. They have recently done some renovations and improved the layout. The service is great, the people here are so nice. My favorite is the p19 hot and sour seafood rice noodle soup (spicy).

Been here a few times for take out. One of the best phở and broth in the area. Great service once you walk through the doors.
Got the large beef special and a mango milkshake. No complaints about the food at all so far.
Only negative thing about this place is the area its in, if you’re going south on kennedy be careful of the left turn. It can get quite dangerous and tricky.
Would definitely come back again.

The phở is amazing. decent for price hen ordering Large it seems. The fried eggy thing [had sherred pork, crab meat and other thing,] was also amazing. Some of the other things the items on the menu are overpriced for the small quanlity or portion. Presentation of the food was amazing n lovely. Will go again but will not order their spring rolls.

Arguably the best phở in the area. The broth has some kind of sweetness to it that other chains don’t have — I suspect from the abundance of green onion they add.
Price ok
Noodles are great and don’t get soggy or soft in my experience

I hate to leave such a bad review but this place made me VERY SICK.
My husband and I decided to try this new place out. He ordered a rice dish and peach shake. I ordered a bowl of phở and a jackfruit shake. I couldn’t finish my phở so my husband finished it for me. Within 10 mins of leaving the restaurant I had really bad cramps that would come and go.
I don’t want to go into detail but I had FOOD POISONING that lasted 10 days!!! I’m assuming it was the jackfruit shake since my husband didn’t get sick.
I will never come back. They definitely do not handle their food or store it properly. Please beware!

I’ve been here a few times. It’s alright, food is okay, not worth the price. Yes the place is clean but I rather pay my money towards the good food. Service is good, about 10−15min wait for your dish is not bad bad but could be better. I always order phở in large and its still not enough for me. Large phở just means more noodles not more meat and soup.

the worst phở ive ever been to. This place is so gross, its just a matter of time before they shut down. i would give it zero stars if i could. My mom and I both couldnt finish the food here, she said they only use «white meat because white people dont know how to eat anything else»

Service was great, food was pretty good. Always good to see some Vietnamese food around Scarborough. Price was average and environment was clean — minus the dish washing soap in the washroom. Pictures would be nice too on the menu for first timers.

If you’re looking for some real authentic Vietnamese phở, this is the place to go.
The location is a bit sketchy, but the design of the restaurant is quite modern. The layout can be improved more, but understandable because of the size of the store.
I enjoy my phở bowl — since the noodles are fresh, thin, and wide. The beef is high grade which makes the bowl so much better. The broth is amazing in my opinion. I am Vietnamese and I love the sweet taste the broth offers.
I would highly recommend you give this place a try. They are new and have very friendly staff. The price is a bit pricey, but the quality is good.
I changed this rating from a 5 star to 4 star. I’ve recently came back and the phở isn’t consistent.

Drove by this place a few times and decided to just give it a try, since its hard to find a good bowl of phở in the east end of the city. It’s not very attractive from the outside, the décor in the inside was ok, but clean so I was happy.
My hubby ordered the phở tai gan and for myself a phở ga. We both really enjoyed it. I see in most of the reviews that people found the broth to be plain, but I thought it was the perfect amount of flavour. We also had the durian shake it was stinky and yummy! They don’t cheap on the amount of durian! What I enjoyed most was the spring rolls. Loved how they put chicken in it, thats not the norm, but very yummy!
This is definitely our new phở spot in the east end. Great service! I hope it sticks around, cause I can see how it can be easily missed. They definitely need to step up the exterior of their store.

This place is absolutely crap. First off the location is not in a convenient place. It is directly off a busy turn making it hard to get to. The parking lot is very small and accident prone. The handicap spots are in random spots with no logic whatsoever. Typically they are located in particular spots to help make it convenient for them and given more space.
Once you arrive you’ll see it is an old take out burger joint with the take out drive through lane still marked. When you go in, it’s rather modern but the layout is very odd. I was seated right between a pole and a wall, being blocked.
I ordered phở, as usual, but found the soup VERY bland. The soup was too clear to be true but still loaded in MSG enough to make me desperate for water. There was limited meat and the Dac Biet did not have much variety of meat in it. Good thing is the large is pretty large but the small is super small.
The owners or staff thought it would be fun to raise the volume mid way through our meal. I mean Boyz II Men is great but I don’t need you to blare out Motown Philly, especially when there are customers trying to eat.
I entered in with 5 people and when I left there were 0.
I do NOT recommend going here, unless you plan on just trying it and writing a bad review, then i highly recommend it.
1 out of 5 stars for me… only because I cannot submit 0.

Tried this place out recently because it’s conveniently located near work and gym. I’ll probably come by again, but I won’t go out of my way to come here. It’s a nice place, nicely decorated. It was empty when we went in, but that was probably due to the snow outside. I ordered the sate broth with beef flank and an avocado milkshake. The avocados used in the shake weren’t ripe enough. The sate broth was nice, but not spicy enough for me. There were large slices of beef flank, but I feel that there weren’t enough pieces of meat to the amount of soup and noodles. The food was good, it just wasn’t spectacular or anyway standout from the numerous other Phở places along Kennedy.

It’s decent and seems clean! Came here for a late lunch today since my mechanic is around the corner! Not sure if it’s late (3pm) so they ran out of noodles or what, our two small phở had like a couple strands of noodles and that was it! Never seen such a dinky stingy bowl of noodles before! Two small slices of beef and a few tiny chunks of tendons! The soup seems ok, but $ 6.99 for a small should be at least have more than couple strands! Wish I took a picture! The plate of sprouts was more than the noodles that’s how small it was! Otherwise I’d give it a 3 star! Not sure if I’ll be back!

My friend was sick and his nose was a runny mess so we decided to grab some comfort food. I was there for support and not the food of course.
There were a few diners when we got there and only 2 people working which might have been why it took a while to be seated. However, it wasn’t too busy that upon eye contact with the waiter he immediately helped us. After that, food came out quite promptly.
We got the beef noodle special (P1). There is nothing astounding about what we had, but it was good. Things I didn’t like were that the broth was really light and didn’t have much flavour. Secondly, the beef was tough and chewy so it was hard to eat. However, I was a fan of their noodles which were wide but thin.
The inside is much nicer than the outside. It was clean and the décor was better than other phở places. However, the sign outside definitely needs to be spruced up to match.

I like this restaurant due to it’s convenient location. I found service was a bit slow but good nonetheless, I ordered the vermacelli. I found the noodles a bit too soggy/​mushy and the portion of chicken+viet sausage was a bit sparse… the chicken was in tiny bits and I like when it is actual chunks. I’m not a big fan of the super tiny vermacelli noodles. My friend ordered the sate noodle soup and it tasted pretty good. Not quite spicy more heat. Overall, I’d come here again just for the convenience and try their phở next time. Prices seem a bit higher, but good in the fact that they have SMALL sizes. Most places don’t even offer small, which is refreshing to know this place does.

Another Vietnamese restaurant opens up. There are just so many of them around these days. Ordered my usual phở with rare beef and tripe. No extra large option? That’s sad. I guess I will have to settle for the large. The beef was not rare at all and I would even go as far to say its a bit over cooked. The soup was nothing special and the vermicelli noodles were a bit on the thick side. Good portion of tripe given. Also got a side of deep fried spring rolls for $ 5.50 which was done well with a nice crispy outer layer.
Service was fast and the place is very new looking and clean. I have to agree with Nguyen T. — they definately need some blinds as the sun was at full force when I was there during lunch. I guess I could work on my tan at the same time and soak up some vitamin D.
Overall a good meal for a good price

Phở Nam Dinh is a newly opened Vietnamese Restaurant in Scarborough.
The exterior restaurant looks a little sketchy with the no permanent restaurant signage and parking lot set up a little awkward. But interior is surprisingly nice. On a balmy sunny day without blinds, the inside can be uncomfortably hot and bright, where is my sunglasses.
The menu is standard Vietnamese with the usual Rice, Noodle and Rolls.
Bún bò Hu ($ 8.50) Viethamese Spicy Beef Noodle Soup was quite nicely done with the correct toppings: pork hock, pig blood, beef shank and ch la. The broth had a nice lemongrass aroma with a hint of shrimp paste which was decent. The only complaint maybe the portion size as I can ate 2 orders in order to be full.
I will probably be back to try out other items. Hopefully they would have blinds installed or I need to come back when the sun is down!

I like food at here. Clean and friendly. However this restaurant need some blind for afternoon.
