Really quick service. Fresh ingredients and friendly staff. A favourite place for lunch on a cold winters’ day.

OK, Disclaimer: I have been there only once for a take out lunch. I had called in advance and was initially pleased to see my order ready. Coincidentally the place was being inspected for Liscencing. I paid and was going to leave when they offered to «check» my order. It turned out, they assumed I was going to go home and cook the Veggies to put in my Phở! I explained I was taking it to work and will need utensils as well. Another 10 minutes and I had to ask if the order is now ready. I took my Phở/Tom Yum — shrimp okra with me. $ 10.50 small. I couldn’t believe how sweet sour(too sweet and salty) and how uncooked the okra were. I had a stomach ache an hour after. I only ate half and threw the rest. Did I mention there were ¾ shrimp and ZERO noodles! It was only my second time I had Vietnamese food so I figured it was how it was supposed to be. I was dissappointed… I must say the place looks nice and the service may have been fast had they not forgotten to cook the Veggies… I had another experience of Phở, way cheaper and generous and delicious(after I added the hot sauce they provide.)! I will review that in a bit…

Still think this place has the best vietnamese food I’ve eaten. I’ve reviewed two other places recently & I’m still loving Phở Vietnam. We came here on the weekend to grab some take out after shopping & despite it being lunch time it wasn’t busy. Probably because many people were away on holiday. I had my typical vermicelli with spring roll & beef. Then we ordered extra spring rolls & the rest ordered their favourite dishes. The fish is a fave. This time we didn’t order phở to go as it can get messy. Would rather eat phở if we were staying in the restaurant to eat. Staff here are always prompt and friendly. Food comes out relatively quickly from the kitchen. And the place is clean and bright, including the washrooms. It’s got all the qualities a good casual restaurant should have. They even have wall mounted flat screen tv’s to watch, booths for families & larger tables for groups. It’s funny, i’ve seen some bad reviews for this place & yet every time I’ve come here I’ve never had a problem. We’ve been coming here for years & never found anything wrong with our food. The servers & cashier are always friendly to us as well. It’s true they don’t really put food out by order: e.g. appetizers, main, etc. But we’ve always gotten our food promptly.

I find the phở here to be ok. But what strikes me most about the place is just how terrible the service is. They bring food out in whatever order suits them. Twice I’ve found myself watching my soup cool while waiting up to ten minutes for my companion’s to arrive. Appetizers are a bit dried out and the dipping sauces are watered down. Greens for the soup are skimpy. So despite decent soup, they’ve really find a lot of ways to leave me I unsatisfied. I managed to pay at the cashier without even a hint of smile, eye contact or other human kindness. Given how little effort is put into the front of house, I’m concerned about what goes on in the kitchen. Not going back. What a waste. It would would have taken very little effort to have made this a five star review.

I do not understand the good reviews this place has gotten. This place has horrible service, the portion size is especially stingy, and the FOODISNOTCLEAN. The servers here are so rude, I remember asking to be seated at a slightly bigger table(the store was practically empty) and the server denied me, saying the number of customers should correspond to the number of seats at a table! The store wasn’t even busy! But regardless, my family made the decision to stay and we ended up ordering appetizers along with our mains. Our mains somehow came before our appetizers, and my brother’s dish came last(after the appetizers and when everybody has finished their food). Before that, we’ve ask the servers multiple times, when my brother’s food is going to arrive, but they brushed us off every time! We ended up packing my brother’s food to go because we wanted to get the hell out of there. Here’s the best part, when we got home and my brother opened his takeout, he found a cockroach in his salad! I am never coming back here again, this place is so dirty.

Nothing to write home about, but decent enough that I would come back. Had their brisket and beef ball phở which was standard, and some grilled chicken fresh rolls which were alright too. Comes with a lot of dipping sauce. Also had an avocado milkshake. Took a while for it to come out, I was almost done my meal, but there were 2 other different flavoured shakes ordered at our table so that was probably the reason. They probably only had one blender.

Just like another phở vietnam I’ve been to. Small portions for a more expensive phở. $ 7.50 for a small. Still, noodles were good and the restaurant is clean. Had the summer rolls and it was good, my fave!

when I first walked in I was impressed with the interior design. The thing is, I feel like that is where my compliments must end. Our waitress did not say one word to us. Not even hello. We just filled out our own piece of paper from the menu and she picked it up from us. There was literally no exchange of words. We ordered pad Thai and seafood soup with rice noodles. Fried spring rolls and fresh rolls to start. The pad Thai should not be called pad Thai. It tastes ok, but is not pad Thai just because it is stir fried rice stick noodles with a side of peanuts. It had celery in it! The phở style seafood soup, I think they call it Hu Tieu. Had very little flavor. It honestly tasted very watery. I was so disappointed because it looked very pretty presentation wise with the bright green chives/green onions floating in it. It was one of those gloomy, rainy days that called for soup, in which I left unsatisfied.

Overall a decent place to go for a quick bite. Not the best, but not the worst. Pros: Nice décor. Clean restaurant. Attentive servers. Flat screen wall mounted TVs. Cons: Phở was small portioned and more expensive than other restaurants. Broth was very bland. Servers got orders mixed up and were flustered.

This is my go-to spot for when I have a phở craving. The staff are always welcoming and courteous. The place is clean with ample seating and fast service. I find the food here consistently good. The phở broth itself is very tasty. It’s aromatic and light and not greasy/oily or heavy like phở broths I’ve noticed at other restaurants. I personally love vermicelli the best. B11 beef all the way! :d I especially like the noodles they use(nice taste and texture). Oh and you can’t forget to add a smoothie to the mix. I’ve tried(and enjoyed) the mango, jackfruit and avocado smoothies. The only con to this place is the parking if the joint is full, otherwise I think it’s phở-kin great! ;)

For the price of their phở, their portion size is small compared to other phở places. It’s quite expensive. The soup is okay and I found the noodles kind of hard. Parking is very limited here and you’ll often find yourself waiting for a spot during lunch and dinner time.

In 2014 I went on a 3 week tour of Vietnam from North to South, tasting the various cuisines country-wide. Phở Vietnam’s fare is reminiscent of North Vietnam. The food is fresh and tasty and not too spicy. Service was courtesies and fast. The establishment looked clean also, which is a bonus. I would come back.

I really like this place. Good food. Service could use a little work but the good is with it.

Went here with some co-workers for lunch a couple weeks ago. Large restaurant, that seems fairly well frequented. I ordered the grilled beef phở but asked for sate broth. The beef came separate from the rest of the dish as it had to be grilled first. I enjoyed the sate broth. As much as I have come to enjoy phở, I find that I have never come across a broth that hits my desired level of spiciness. I really like that they have the option of a small size. Sometimes I just don’t want to share my phở, but I don’t want a size that is too big for just one person. So that option of a small size is really great. Service seems hit and miss. At times the servers seemed to be around a lot, and then all of sudden it was like they were abducted, never to be seen again. I also ordered an avocado milkshake, and it was so good! If nothing else, I will definitely be popping by again for the shakes.

Noodles were good, broth was tasty, and lots of toppings in the bowl. Pork chop was well marinated and was also tasty. Overall, I would return soon. Service was good 4 stars

Came here for their phở and left displeased. Their phở isn’t the most authentic or really that good. The best it has going for itself is that it’s hot. I’ve had better phở at places that charged much less with equally big portion sizes. Their only redeeming quality is that you have a nicer place to dine at.

I like the cleanliness of the restaurant, it’s quite updated in it’s furnishings. I ordered the vermicelli and BF ordered the everything phở. Although his phở did not come with a lot of meat my BF really liked the broth. We both noticed that the broth is quite clear. Which is different because usually the broth at other places are kind of cloudy and oily. The only thing that would make their phở better would be more meat. Seriously, common… gotta give some more meat for a medium. My vermicelli was good I am a fan of the thicker noodles, but this came with the really thin noodles which is good. The chicken was good but the portion did not match the portion of the salad and noodles. I was pretty much eating the salad with noodles because the chicken portion was small. Overall, will come here because it’s closer to me. Just would like to have a bit more meat.(that’s what she said)

First impressions of this place. Parking is very limited, the restaurant has a big display of their name though, which is very nice. A normal phở restaurant, nothing really special. The waiter was really slow, forgot about our drinks and was not friendly. The staff«seemed» busy but really they had more staff than customers, so I expected a lot more. The phở was really good and made up for the issues but at the most 3⁄5.

1) Bún I’ve been looking for a phở place that serves bún with this exact combination: spring roll, grille meat ball and shrimp on sugar cane. Finally found it here. 2) Phở Broth was clear and light but still flavourful. Good amount of meat. 3) Jackfruit milkshake Contains real jackfruit, not too blended so you could still feel the fruit. Restaurant was still ¾ full on a Sunday night with a thunderstorm on the way. Service was fine, milkshake came at the me of our meal but maybe they were too busy or forgot. Would return here.

A large bowl of phở on a cold winter day. Perfect comfort food. This is an authentic Vietnamese run phở restaurant. Portions are fair and you do get a lot of meat but still none have reached the standards in terms of portion and quality that I’m use to at Phở 88. I think this place needs to add an extra large category for bottomless eaters like me. I also got a deep fried soft shell crab for $ 11.99 as an appetizer. The flavor of the batter was pretty good and it was nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside but it didn’t have much crab flavor. Even so I would still order it again in a heart beat. Great to have another phở restaurant in the area. 3.5 stars
