Asian Bowl

Decent selections of Vietnamese, Thai, and Chinese food at reasonable prices. I would highly recommend they change they try to space out the tables a bit more so that way, it would sustain a level of privacy among each groups of people dining. I had the unfortunate incident of some other patron sharing a booth table right next to us with his group and as he got up, his moronic control panel also known as his brain could not control his body from knocking into ours causing our soup bowls to spill.

I have been here 3 times and I’ve always been content with their service.
Pros: Great phở, fast service, clean space, extensive/​affordable menu.
Cons: The bathrooms are in a bad condition but that can easily be fixed.
This is my go to place whenever I’m craving Thai food and I’m in the dt core. Highly recommend!

I have been a regular here for a few years. I come here because it’s the only decent Phở restaurant in the area.
The service is always very good. It seems they have many new servers as well.
I only ever order P01. It’s beef, rare beef, tripe, tendon and ball. My favourite. Every time I return, it seems they put less and less tendon and tripe in it. I figured it’s because it may be expensive, so I never made a thing out of it. Today, there was only meat and a ball.
I told the server and she quickly went to the kitchen to tell the cook. She brought back a small soup bowl with two small pieces of tripe and a small piece of tendon.
The restaurant has gone from above average to average. Quality is good, but the neglect of two main ingredients makes me wonder are they trying to pull the wool over our eyes. I will return again with hopes it was simply a fluke, as the food is still very yummy.

Great place to eat
GREAT BROTH
Amazing Phở
Super friendly
Sink in bathroom is annoying cause it sprays up at you if you turn it too high, but otherwise quaint!
5 STARS…

Came here after skating at NPS with my friends and it didn’t disappoint. I loved the food, and the service was freaking amazing too.
Our server was the sweetest girl; very friendly and got us our food right away. she even ran around and looked for an outlet for my phone charger hahaha.

My odyssey for good Vietnamese salad rolls has taken me a lot of places. And I was surprised when a very commercial-​looking spot right at Yonge & Dundas hit the mark.
I’ll be honest, I literally haven’t ordered a single other thing off their menu (I’ll update this if I do), but the great service I’ve gotten has certainly warranted a positive review. Plus the salad rolls (and more importantly, their peanut sauce) are awesome!

The service was fair, probably understaffed and the waiters looked so tired carrying food around. The food is pretty good,
I asked for beef phở and I got pieces of pork belly which I didn’t say anything because I didnt mind. The broth was okay, but not nearly hot enough to cook the bean sprouts.
Spring roll was pretty good. They seemed fresh.
The price was really cheap for a Toronto owned restaurant especially at a location at yonge. This restaurant does satisfy my cravings so I will come back again.

My phở and my boyfriend’s were so salty we couldn’t eat it and had to ask for a new one. The second bowl came out and it tasted a bit better but edible, until I found a piece of hair two/​three slurps in. We told the waiter and left.
** I’ve been to this restaurant several times before and it everything was on par. Not too sure what happen that Friday night.

One of my fellow Unilocaler friends recently did a review on this restaurant, and as I work at King and Church and have had little luck at finding quality places to have lunch in this area, I decided to take a 10 minute walk north west and have a lunch here.
The décor is simple, the restaurant is very clean and the servers are very attentive.
Yes the pricing is a little higher than you would expect to pay in Chinatown for similar food items but they do have some very good lunch specials in the $ 8 to $ 12 range.
I went with the Wonton soup and Crispy Beef Combo. The wonton soup broth was very good and not overly salty and the wonton was very fresh tasting. The crispy beef was a little on the sweet side but that actually had a very good side effect on the bed of rice that it was served on.
Although its a smaller place, there are quite a few ‘comfort Asian foods’ on the menu, and even during the busy lunch time period, the service was fast and wait times for food were very good, and when you are on the clock downtown, this is very important.
If you work in this area, its definitely worth a visit!

I’m actually quite fond of Asian Bowl. I’ve dined inside and also ordered delivery from them, and I had good experiences with both. They’re more of a casual fusion restaurant and their main dishes are pretty solid!
I’m not particularly fond of their appetizers– the Golden Fried Wontons are really dry and flavourless, and the Chicken Lettuce Wrap is pretty awesome except it contains celery, carrots and pepper, which I detest. The salad is also rather sad and nothing to report about, so I recommend just ignoring those choices.
I really like their curry though! Their curry is always rather sweet with lots of coconut milk which I love! A favourite of mine would be Bun Cari Ga, which is yellow curry soup with vermicelli. It says ‘spicy’ but it’s really not, just warm and delicious. You should also make your own pot of rice and drizzle the curry on top afterwards. They also have red and green curry, which are fragrant and mildly sweet options as well.
i prefer delivery– it says on their website that delivery takes around 70 minutes, but my order came in around half an hour. Would definitely order from them again, if only for their entrées.

I have only had the beef phở and the chicken phở here. Both are very good. The chicken phở is a great, lighter option to the beef phở.
The price is $ 9.50 for phở so it is a tad more expensive, but the quality and quantity is pretty good, and unlike most phở places, it is really clean, service is very good and hello, it is right across Eaton’s. Where else can you get phở around Eaton Centre?
Other customers had ordered different items from their pretty large menu that boasts Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese noodle and rice dishes, so this is a good option if you are craving Asian food in general.

Have been here twice now, and it definitely has not disappointed. Their phở has great flavour and nice chewy noodles. Bun with grilled pork and spring roll was amazing. The pork was sooo good — it comes in a huge piece, not all sliced up. Spring roll was good too.
All in all, I find the food here to be delicious, well prepared, and seasoned just right. Service is also efficient and friendly, and atmosphere is comfortable. Only thing is that it’s quite a bit more expensive than you’d find in other parts of the city (like chinatown). But! You get what you pay for here — which is quality food and service.
Would definitely come again!

My friends and I were in the area and looking for a place to get some dinner. We all ordered the dinner combo which was an appetizer, main course and desert for about $ 25. I ordered the thai yellow curry and at first I felt like I got ripped off because the curry came in a small square bowl with rice and some veggies while all of my friends got huge bowls of noodles. However I found that even though it was small, it was actually very filling when you mix the rice and curry together — I was actually struggling to finish! My friends and I all agreed that we actually liked the yellow curry the best so that’s my recommendation :) I also ordered a thai iced tea which tasted similar to chinese milk tea but with a stronger tea and sugar flavour. Definitely check this place out if you’re in the area and looking for dinner!

Decent authentic phở in this area!
Ever since the first time I try Asian Bowl it had become the place to go when i crave phở in the area but too lazy to go to China town. Who would’ve thought they make good viet food in this busy area packed with fast food and pub food. Walked in with low expectation and got surprised.
The store is clean, staffs are attentive and friendly, reasonably priced and decent food. I always order phở dat biet, spring rolls and avocado milk shakes, the vermicelli are pretty good too. Not a gourmet restaurant but definitely recommended.

It’s alright. I had the treasures in the garden, which was basically stir fry veggies but the names sounds way better. Overall, it was fine but a bit too salty. My friend had the phở but the noodles were a bit chewy and the broth was a touch under seasoned. I would go back and give it another try. The server was very friendly though.

Great phở! Tried their seafood phở (calamari, crab meat, mussels, and scallops) and it was delicious.
Yummy appetizers include spicy calamari and shrimp dumplings
Don’t let the bowl size deceive you! It may look small but it can pack a hell of a lotta broth and noodles!
Recommend :) make sure to try some of their non-​phở dishes!

Everything about this place was wonderful. The food, the service, location and price! I got the grilled steak with mango salad. To die for!

Came here after deciding to venture into Toronto, and visit Nathan Phillips Square, and Dundas Square. I entered not expecting much, but I left greatly impressed!
The store is extremely clean, and bright. I couldn’t help but admire how clean they kept the restaurant. Mississauga restaurants definitely need to step up their game! Service was extremely quick, and efficient but the servers were very friendly as well! They knew just what to recommend, and when to ask if anything else was needed. Servers aren’t entirely fluent in Vietnamese, but I was impressed that they tried ;)
I ordered the Korean Udon, since I can cook Viet food at home anyways. It was seasoned deliciously! Also ordered a Soursop smoothie, and it was up-​to-​par as well. My friend ordered a rice dish (can’t remember what #sorry) and he said it was really good…
Being in Toronto, this restaurant wasn’t extremely busy when I was there, but that won’t stop me from returning! Good food is good food, no? hehe

Popped in for a really quick meal after watching a movie up the street. The weather was cold and dismal and we thought phở, tea and other such foods would help warm us up!
It was mostly empty and the service was very fast and efficient. The restaurant itself is clean and aesthetically pleasing.
The food was delicious! I ordered the Phở Bo Kho, which is a spicy brother with beef brisket. The brisket wasn’t comparable to other beef brisket soups I’ve had. Usually the «brisket» is thinly sliced and cooked sort of like pieces of flank steak. Here it was moist and tender, which was enjoyable. However, it was attached to pieces of fat or cartilage which I don’t find enjoyable. Other than that the noodles and the other veggies in my broth were delicious.
My friends got chilli chicken (which is not battered as she expected it to be) and ginger beef (which was battered and in a sticky sweet sauce). I had a bite of both and they were really good!
I’m in the area frequently but have never been before. Now that I’ve made my first trip in, I will be back.
We had to rush out real quick because one of my friends had work soon and the server didn’t bat an eyelash. Just quickly packed up leftovers and brought our bills with the debit machine. Not sure if they experience that a lot but it was really appreciated that he didn’t feel like we were being rude, that we were just in a hurry!

I came here for lunch on a Friday. The restaurant is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. We were a group of 10 and we were in and out within an hour. We were seated immediately. Service was really quick. The server took our order within 5 minutes and the food came maybe another 5 minutes later. I ordered a vegetarian pad thai with spring rolls. It was a lunch special for $ 11.50. The portions are big and I could not finish my meal.
