Best phở in town! Also, the staff were friendly, the service was great and once ordered the food came out really quickly! A tip: It’s a cash only restaurant… so bring cash! Looking forward to going back and trying other things on the menu :)

5 stars phở. There are nicer phở restaurants around the GTA but this restaurant has the best phở in town. The staff are friendly and the food comes out quick and hot like most other phở restaurants. My only complaint is that the seats are really tight and I always find my chair bumping into other chairs and I’m forced to squeeze in. This place is cash only!

The noodle and steamed rice noodle were not soft. The restaurant smells funny, will not return.

Warning: Do not tip when you go to eat here. I know someone who used to work here and she quit after 2 months of abuse by the owner. She gave really good service and some customers were really happy. They even gave her $ 20 in tips at one time but the owners take all the tips and do not share any amount with any employees at all. The owners at this place keeps all tips and don’t give employees anything. So if you eat here, don’t tip as you are wasting your $$. The servers do not get to keep any tips at all. Not even a penny! They did this with all employees, so customers beware!

Hands down the best phở restaurant in Toronto. They have the best iced coffee and rice dishes in the area.

portions here are really generous. the workers and waitresses are also really nice. for the people who are complaining about how the workers are(ie rolliing the dirty dishes around etc)… thats typically a normal vietnamese resturant for you. if u think this is dirty then u should not go to vietnam lol. but anywho, food here is really good. my parents go here every other day or so cos its close to their work and i also know a friend who eats here everyday too just cause he loves it. the phở, rice, and bun mam is really yummy. also my aunt is obssessed with their viet coffee as she says its authentic since there is so much flavour! also really cheap too :) oh yeah its cash only… i think by now its safe to say if u go anywhere asian, just have cash with u cos chances are they are not going to take debit or credit!

I was looking forward to some good Viet food based on the reviews listed here. The place was busy on a Sunday afternoon and so that was a good sign. I read online in the Unilocal reviews that it was cash only so I came prepared. The prices were quite low, which also was something I had read online. The menus were quite greasy, which was a bit of a turn off, but however. Tea was complimentary which was nice, however they brought us a cold tea and so we requested a hot one. Our meals came quite quickly and I did enjoy it. The thing that will make me not return is the lack of cleanliness. While we were dining someone brought a large bucket filled with utensils and sat it beside us. Then they came with boiling hot water and just poured it over all the utensils several time. A group of staff then sat around drying all the utensils with dish towels. There was no soap used, and no way to verify that the temperature is hot enough to kill anything. I feel as though they would have never passed a health inspection. I lost my appetite after that. Food was good. Prices were excellent. Cleanliness was severely lacking.

The chicken broth soup with 2 egg yolk appetizer was amazing! The rest of the food here was also really good. One of the better Phở restaurants.

I’m sad that I have to give this place this rating as my experience was not great. First off, keeping in mind that this place is located on the ghetto west end, you can’t expect much in terms of experience but you would at least expect the food to be great. Going in it was very busy which is a good sign. I got seated at a dirty table which they came and ‘cleaned’ with a napkin from the dispenser on the table. Then all they did was sweep everything from the table to the floor. Then they gave us the menu with a small order sheet to write our order but forgot the pen. I ordered a large Phở Dac Biet but when the lady was bringing it she spilled half it on the floor and herself. Instead of refilling the bowl and cleaning it she brought the bowl with beef and soup hanging off the edges to our table and served it this way. Not only was it super messy but very uncomfortable to eat this way. If you look at the photos you will see that the lady is on the floor cleaning the mess… with her bare hands. The coffee was not drip coffee. It was done through their espresso machine and took them 2 mins to make and serve. Then when the bill came, i placed my card on the tray and said they only take cash. No signs were displayed of this. Good thing I understood a bit of vietnamese because i over heard them telling to the rest of the staff loudly that«this guy did not bring cash»… and«Chuh oy he should be more prepared»… how the F*!# was i supposed to know they took cash only if they didn’t even display a sign about it. Luckily for me the convenience store had an ATM machine next door. Other then the service and experience, the food phone was pretty good. Hot, big portion and tasty. Overall i would give 2 out of 5 and will never come back again.

I can’t say enough about how good this place is. I have been coming here for over 5+ years and never have been disappointed with anything. I have gone through all the major Vietnamese dishes and each and every one is very well prepared. This is a very well deserving 5 star rating. Not only is everything good but, the prices and quantity you get, just can’t be beat. This is the perfect trifecta… Price-Quality-Quantity! The location is probably the only setback. It is not located at the greatest plaza in North York. But if it is located anywhere else, most likely the price will be effected. Will i come back… does the sunrise everyday? If you are looking for an authentic Vietnamese restaurant with great taste, good prices and good portions, look no further.

Great service and good food. It’s rare to see waitresses smile and greet you warmly when you enter a Vietnamese restaurant.

This is one of the best authentic Vietnamese restaurants in the Toronto area. The staff are friendly and the prices are pretty good for the portions they give you. You can get decent phở at many restaurants, but it’s the other Viet dishes that are amazing at this place. My favourite order here is the Hu Tieu My Tho with the avocado milkshake. YUM! Everything from their drinks to their rice and noodle dishes are amazing. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a good Vietnamese restaurant.

This restaurant was close to our hotel so we decided to check it out. It was a Monday evening around 6 p.m. and the restaurant was not packed so we got a table right away. We were given a complimentary pot of tea and given time to look at the menu, no pressure to order right away. The menu had a good selection of dishes, with the hot dishes clearly identified for people(like myself) that are not overly familiar with Vietnamese cuisine. When the food arrived the portion sizes were very generous considering the price that they charge. I don’t know how authentic the food is, but I found it to be delicious and filling, and that is all that matters to me. One word of caution, the restaurant only takes cash, no credit cards or debit. Not a knock against it just something you have to consider beforehand.

I remember coming here when I was in high school, different owners tho. My review is on one of their menu items from the specials board, mi quang. I know different regions of Vietnam make certain dishes differently. But this dish was not that good due to the strong flavor of turmeric in the dish. Turmeric is used to color the rice noodles yellow. The noodles in my bowl was not yellow. They might as well have skipped the turmeric all together. There was plenty of noodles, and meat however, so it was filling, just not tasty. I also ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee which they give it to you in a togo cup instead of giving you the drip coffee filter in a glass cup. Stay away from this dish and stick to their phở and com tam instead.

Great for rice dishes — meat portions are generous. Phở is pretty good… A great local go-to that I frequent. Love the fresh lemon and soda drink here!

Living near this place is so convenient! As the previous review, their portions are very hearty and for such a steal(like every other phở stores) but usually it’s either quality or quantity but this place seems to hit both! Their phở broth is very delicious and the depending on the bowl itself could usually have a lot of meat in it than it should which could either be good or bad, depending on how you roll. The rice dishes are yummy and filling and for around $ 7.50, you can get all three meats~ I haven’t tried any other dishes so far, but either way; it’s worth going here and not just because it’s close. Also, nice service and people! Especially the owner!

Finally! A good bowl of phở in the Toronto area! This restaurant just opened up during the past year, and I have been eating here quite frequently. It is a cash only restaurant, so be prepared for that. It’s been a while, but I have finally found a restaurant in the GTA that has good phở. The portions are truly generous, there is a lot of meat, and the broth is very flavorful. A small bowl of phở here has more meat than a large bowl in other locations. The phở here is actually comparable to something you would get in Southern California. No other place here that I or any of my friends have tried around here even compares. On top of that, the rice dishes are quite good as well. The portions are large, and the taste is good. It is as if the owner of this restaurant saw what was good in California and brought it over to here. The grilled pork and eggs are always good. The shrimp spring rolls are also well made here. However, not all dishes here are great, so you should try to stick to their specialties. I have tried so many other Vietnamese places highly rated by Unilocal with no success. I was introduced to this place by locals, and they are right. This is authentic and good food.
