The environment and service is okay, but the food is great! I ordered Small Special beef noodle, and the portion is huge....like XLThere's beef ball, rare beef etc. in this dish, so you can have different ingredients!
20 bucks for a huge plate of lemon grass chicken. Worth the price. The food is definitely above average in terms of Vietnamese food, not the best, but the portion and price makes it a 5 star in my opinion. Highly recommend the place.
came here out of curiousity. this is actually 2nd time we came here. 1st time: hainan chicken+chicken curry roti. 2nd time: goat curry roti+thai tea. food always hit the spot. expensive but i think it's worthed (flavour wise+not that skimpy on meat) . hainan chicken is the best (close to what my mom make). i tried in different restaurant, something is always off. but this place spots on! goat curry roti, the sauce...!! the sauce !!oooohhh the sauce!! soooo mouth watering!!i can keep licking it. lol. it's thick, flavour has a 'kick' and strong...pair well with the roti. roti is bit thicker. other place has it better. but the highlight of the dish is the curry (not the roti...so to me, i dont care even if the dish comes with rice instead of roti). all places i try, curry here spots on! chicken curry is good too, but i like the goat more. curious with other food they have since the two items are the best we have ever tried. will be back....
This is a review for delivery Trust me, your pho will taste a whole lot better if you take the time to re-heat the broth in a pot and add the noodles to the boiling broth to loosen everything before eating. I learned this the hard way when getting Angus Pho House delivered to my place. Finding everything felt hot, I merely took the broth and added it to the Angus rare beef rice noodle soup ($9.95 for small) and tucked in. The noodles stuck together in a clump and the broth went from hot to lukewarm in no time. This is not how pho should be enjoyed. A nuke in the microwave improved things a bit, yet it still wasn't the same. Since we received such a large portion of noodles (with the small being so big, how can anyone get through a large?), I had enough for another meal the next day. After reheating the soup in a pot and adding the noodles (microwaved first) for a quick swirl, everything was so much more enjoyable. Strangely, Angus Pho puts the rare beef into the hot broth instead of laying it onto the noodles when delivering. What arrives are very well-done pieces of lean meat. In the future, an order of plain pho noodles with a grilled protein seems like a better choice. If you really want shaved beef, I suggest opting for a brisket instead, which has a bit of fat to keep it moist. The soup to noodle ratio is also off, there seems to be more noodles than when you dine in but only 70% of the broth so you can't really drink big spoonful's of the hearty savoury bone broth. Indeed, by the next day, there was only about a cup of soup left, I had to dilute it and add salt to stretch enough for another meal. Not a drop was wasted. Surprisingly, the Vietnamese style spring rolls ($6.95) didn't suffer through the delivery process. They were crispy and delicious, just a tad cooler than the scalding hot rolls you'd find at the restaurant. Angus' moist fluffy filling of yellow beans and pork is so delicious. Unless you're vegetarian or going gluten-free, these are a must add-on. While Angus Pho provides a sizeable bag of bean sprouts and Thai basil, my body was craving vegetables so an order of Chinese greens with oyster sauce ($6.95) was necessary. The menu describes these as being stir-fried but it's actually plain boiled gai lan. Luckily, we also ordered stir-fried Chinese greens with garlic sauce ($11.95) and since these were fairly salty and saucy, we could add the plain gai lan into the dish to calm everything down.
The food here was very delicious and flavorful. Especially the daily specials come in good proportions. Worth the cost in my opinion. The server was kind and our food came relatively quick. Recommended, will come again.
If you're in North York area, you need to try this Pho spot. I got small beef ball & flank brisket. And large house special (mix of everything). The portion is generous - I mean look at the meat. So good. The broth is also a little bit different than others. More flavorful. The small and large size only differ $1. And I must mention that this place is cheaper than others such as Vietnoms. Compare with the size, I will go here more frequently.
Passed by this many times but first time trying. It's conveniently located but you'll have to try hard to locate nearby street parking or parking lot in a busy area. There's plenty of choices on the menu but decided to try their Spicy Pho Noodles and Malaysian Beef Brisket Curry with Roti. Noodles were looks spicy but wasn't at all. Soup broth could have been hotter as well. Was looking forward to the Malaysian Beef Brisket Curry as this was recommended by a friend however hugely disappointed. The color was nowhere close to the dark and rich one on the menu. The beef was tender but the taste wasn't up to par. Curry was also very watery. Roti was the only plus with that meal. All in all not impressed with this noodle restaurant. Perhaps other menu items may change my mind in the future.
I was feeling a bit hungry and saw a restaurant nearby that serves Pho. So, I decided to go there and grab something to eat. I ordered Singapore laksa vermicelli and yellow noodle soup, and it was really tasty. I highly recommend you to visit this place and try their food. Moreover, the service was great, and the overall experience was amazing. This is one of the best places I have ever been to for Pho.
Not clean We ordered fresh spring rolls, grilled chicken pho and angus pho, $38 with the tip There was a hair in the fresh spring rolls as well as in the bowl - the pho was tasteless
Came here because I was craving pho. We shared a large bowl of Angus pho along with their App platter (pictures below). Angus pho was so delicious and they know it. No wonder the store is named "Angus pho". Waitress was super friendly and informative. Great service. Cozy location. Prices are reasonable. Kudos for not using pho puns.
Today was a lazy Sunday for me.. so I decided to order delivery. I've ordered the Thai fried fish cake, I find it lacking in flavour. I was craving for curry fish balls, the curry was not bad but the curry was a bit thick. The fried tofu was very tasty. Just enough flavour and it was crunchy. I really enjoyed this. I've also ordered the Tom yum noodles, it was okay as the soup lacked the spice. I will definitely come back for the tofu and the iced tea!
Definitely come here for their roti and curry! Love how flaky and flavorful this dish was! Pho was great as well but nothing like WOW it stands out. Staff was friendly and assertive.
This review is based off of a delivery experience. Restaurant followed special instruction thoroughly, and offer decent value for their food. The pho was surprisingly pretty good for restaurant/ delivery quality. They were pretty generous with their veggies as well. I would highly recommend this place for someone who doesn't want to go through the labour of making pho themselves. Their curry is served with roti which was nice fried up. Their spring roll was also served with a generous portion of radish. read more

I was very hopeful for this pho restaurant but came out disappointed. The pho was.. not good. Noodles were soggy and the soup wasn't flavorful. What WAS good was their grilled chicken and pork. They didn't need sauce, they were well cooked and had good char flavor. Their curry noodle soup was nice as well. Back to the bad: The viet coffee is poorly executed. They have the hardware for success but not the software. The coffee was weak and poor quality. I had a few sips and couldn't finish it. Their thai milk tea was also too sweet and not flavorful enough for my liking. Just have their hot tea =) Service here was great! Very attentive and fast! All in all the prices are a little too high for what you get even compared to other pho places in Toronto. Right now they have some sort of $10 curry of the day deal so that might be worth checking out. read more

3.5/5 I honestly would've given this place 4 stars if the current rating was not 4.5/5. It's a good restaurant, but it is nowhere close to 4.5/5 in my books. However, I would still recommend this restaurant for those in the Willowdale area cause it's probably the only Pho place around here that does the tomato beef brisket noodle soup well. Also mind you, come here only if you're hungry; I was about half hungry and couldn't even finish a small! My dad ordered the satay beef noodle soup. One thing to note, this place isn't truly authentic Vietnamese. The satay sauce they use is more of a Thai style. Also, while I didn't look at the kitchen, the servers were Chinese and Korean. Still, if you like spicy, it's an excellent choice! The beef is also of good quality, both the sliced and the brisket. The noodles, however, were not really silky, which means they're not of the highest quality. There's not too many restaurants that offer the silky kind nowadays (Kim Po Scarborough is the only one that comes to mind), but the smoother the texture, the better the noodle in my opinion. Service was polarized. The male server was very good, however the female server was poor in the sense we had to mention the order to her three times, then when we asked that we wanted the bean sprouts cooked (raw sprouts aren't good for you as they aren't washed), she didn't know what we were saying. Overall a decent restaurant, but not the 4.5/5 rating Yelp currently has. read more
I've heard great reviews about this place from my friends, but for the lunch specials that we ordered I think the food here is just average. The lunch specials are under $10 and include some fruits and a free pop (or you pay extra to upgrade for regular drinks). I checked the drinks menu, there were like 4-5 pages of them, and they are on the pricy side with the highest being $6.99 for a drink (non-alcoholic). So both me and my friend opted for the can of pop. I ordered the Vietnamese chicken and my friend got the spicy pho. My Vietnamese chicken just wasn't good...The chicken was bland, it wasn't soft and juicy, and the rice didn't have enough chicken juice mixed in. I've definitely had more flavourful Vietnamese chicken at downtown food courts. I do like that the portion is huge and the sweet and sour veggies on the side were very appetizing. According to my friend her spicy pho wasn't really spicy at all and she said there weren't a lot of meat. When we went to get our bill we forgot we were still missing the fruits that were supposed to come with the lunch special and the owners didn't offer to bring them to us as well. Points off for the service. read more
I stumbled upon this place last year and I keep coming back. I love their spicy beef Pho and there nothing better on a cold day. I've seen the other menu items and they look great - just haven't tried them yet. The portions are quite big, and very filling with the noodles. I always struggle with a small bowls. And the people working there are absolutely wonderful. Always super nice and they check with you on any dietary restrictions or allergies. read more

How is the food? I think in terms of the flavour of the soup and the aroma of the dish, the restaurant is heading towards the correct direction. However, still not flavourful enough. The beef quality here is pretty good though, so that's plus. I think they need to work on their veggies and sauce better. different soup base should have slightly different veggies to go with it like bun bo hue they should at least have supplied some cabbage. and they should have fish sauce on the table and more choices of pepper. How is the service? the service is good, nothing too fancy just normal and calm. Would I recommend? Yes, although we only tried their Bun Bo Hue, but we would definitely come back to try more of their menu, and if you are in the area and Vietnamese noodle is what you want, give them a try. read more
What! What's pho without bean sprouts!!!! Yet that was what we were told when we proceeded to order the house special. They ran out. It wouldn't have mattered if they substituted the sprouts for other ingredients instead, but they shut that idea down. The bowls of pho came pretty quickly, and they were generous in portions although there weren't anything too special about the taste. Just no sprouts. Who knew we were that attached to the bean sprouts! Despite no sprouts and no substitutions, the prices remained sadly unchanged. read more

Came here late on a Saturday.. Speedy service. However if the price of 6 pork skewers is the same price of 6 chicken skewers.. Why can't I split the order to go half and half? My friend ordered the vermecili bowl with bbq pork which was more of a modified bbq pork not your traditional red stuff. It tasted fine but the noodles were kn the thick side. I personally prefer the thinner kind. Pretty basic interior and washroom is just ok, not particularly clean or dirty. read more
Too many meat options and not enough seafood or veggies options. They have curries and roti options with and without meat, but the one without meat is just plain roti and curry..., no veggies, and that alone was already close to $8! It was sizeable but still if it was not for a friend's recommendation or to meet him at this part of time, I would not have specifically came here. I did like how paining of trees covered both sides of the main walls of this restaurant and the roti and curry sure tasted great, but I would not come all this way just for that. There are plenty of small restaurants and stores here, since it's located at Yonge and Finch. I am funny, because my friend suggested this place for its pho, but I ended up craving for curry the moment I saw that option, but was disappointed to see that it came with no veggies! read more

Food - great pho place. Above average for what it is. I ordered pho with beef tendon and beef ball Thai style with a side of roti with curry. The soup base is very light yet tasty. Just the right amount of flavour. The Thai style makes it spicy. Didn't have to add anything to it. Highly recommend if you're a fan of spice. Very flavourful!! Highly recommend. The roti is one of my favourite things on the menu. GET IT. The roti is crispy and flaky on the outside and soft when you bite in to it. The curry sauce is very strong in flavour. Even my friend who wasn't a big fan of curry enjoyed it (so it says a lot). Just try it. Location- alongside the busy Korean town part of Yonge. Park alongside the side streets. It's pay for parking. Service - it was just alright. 1-2 servers at the time. When the Restaurant got really packed you'd have to constantly flag them down for things like napkins (they don't have napkins on the table... they only give you like 3...and with roti it gets messy!) VERDICT- my new pho go to place! Love it. read more
Honestly, whenever I come here, I order anything BUT the pho. Don't get me wrong, their pho isn't terrible; but it isn't anything to write home about. The portions are very generous but the broth leaves much to be desired. I hope my opinion may be swayed when I return to try subbing their broth for satay---a recent and after the meal discovery. Where Angus Pho excels, I find, is in their other dishes. In particular, I find their Hainanese chicken and curry with roti to be excellent. The Hainanese chicken is not too fatty, with flavourful and tender meat. It's served with pickled carrots/daikon, ginger/green onion dip, and a side of fragrant rice (do NOT order the one without rice---yes it is more chicken but you NEED the rice). Any of their curries are crave-worthy and combined with their crispy roti creates a mouthwateringly unctious combination of fragrant, meaty, spicy, and crispy. Their avocado shake is also above average. Overall, pretty much ritual-worthy. read more

This place has really improved in the past couple of years since renovating. The service is good and fairly quick. The food is yummy plus generally value too. The atmosphere is very casual and it probably seats approximately 30-35 people or so. They serve various types of Asian cuisine here, but primarily Vietnamese, including pho, vermicelli, Vietnamese-style spring rolls (deep fried rice rolls!), curry and roti, and other dishes. I went with my husband who ordered the pho lunch special (also available on weekends), I ordered the kalbi vermicelli, and we shared a side of spring rolls. The spring rolls were quite pricey ($6.95 for two) but if you order a lunch special (such as the pho) then you can get the spring rolls for $4.95. I wouldn't order the kalbi vermicelli again just because I know they have better dishes and the kalbi was so thin and overcooked. I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt that they are just not good at making kalbi like at the Korean restaurants near by and they specialize in other dishes. Also, I love that their vermicelli ("bun" in Vietnamese) is the thicker kind and not the really thin ones like most places! I'm looking forward to my next visit to Angus Pho House and trying some of their other dishes! read more

I ordered a lunch special, Hai Nam Chicken, $7.95 (includes your choice of pop) Food: Chicken was juicy and the rice was a little seasoned (not the best I've tasted). But overall, it was delicious. The portion: Very large and super filling. The price: Lunch specials is super decent (especially in North York) Note: I came a few years ago when they first opened. The price was good, and the a few months later they raised their prices to around $13-16 per entree. I stopped going and then recently went back this weekend (sept 2017) and found they've lowered their prices. read more

Came here for lunch on a Friday and it was busier than I had anticipated. The staff are quite attentive and nice to customers. I had ordered the spicy beef brisket noodles ($7.95 for a lunch special that came with a drink) and I regret what I had ordered. It's not a typical beef brisket noodle soup, but instead, they had pho rice noodles and a spicy broth with thinly sliced beef brisket. The broth was spicy and the noodles at just the right texture. However, I didn't think the flavours mixed at all! I really regret ordering this dish! I saw many others ordering lunch specials, which included grilled pork with rice, hainanese chicken with rice, curry brisket chicken, etc. These lunch specials are all $7.95+tax and come with a soft drink. The decor is very simple and nothing special. It looks clean and the staff bring you water and cups as soon as you sit down. Overall, the value is there, but I really wish I tried a different dish! Maybe for another lunch adventure, I'll try a different dish. read more
