A Vietnamese restaurant filled with lots of flavor. Food was incredible, service was good. The Crispy Spring Roll was a highlight; a CRUNCH wrapped tight with just the right mix of veggies, pork, dipped in sweet and sour fish sauce... Perfect. Next, I had the Shrimp Roll; shrimp was fresh, roll was light, and that peanut sauce... like a party in my mouth. It was a balance of sweet, salty, nutty (it was just right). And the Mango Smoothie was sweet, creamy, mango overload. Like sipping a tropical vacation. Lol. Only thing: seating's kinda limited, think they are more about grab-n-go vibes. But regardless, I am coming back for that Crispy Spring Roll and I would like to try their coconut smoothie.

Beef rice bowl and pork chop vermicelli

Manage your expectations as this is definitely a take out type of restaurant as there's 4 seats at best . The food was quick, hot, tasty, well packaged and reasonably priced. Opted for the pork chop vermicelli and beef rice bowl. At this point I have tried most of it and what keeps me coming back is definitely chicken or the pork chop and the rice (has a nice coconut smell/taste).

This is a Vietnamese takeout restaurant. The serve high quality food at an affordable price, with quick service, for the busy downtown market. They have a floor-to-ceiling LCD display showing the menu; quite impressive, especially since it is curved! We ordered the following: F2: Savoury House Recipe Pork Sausage Fresh Roll with Peanut Dipping Sauce (2 pcs $8.95). S2: Crispy Spring Roll with Sweet and Sour Fish Sauce (2 pcs $6.95). C1: Juicy Grilled Lemongrass Chicken with Rice Combo ($14.95), and Coconut Smoothie (+$2.00). C3: Juicy Grilled Lemongrass Pork Chop with Vermicelli Combo ($14.95), Avocado Smoothie (+$3.50), and Fried Egg (+$1.00). The customer service was good. The Pork Sausage Roll was good, especially with the peanut sauce; I love peanut sauce! When having Vietnamese food, Spring Rolls are "essential", especially with the required fish sauce. Delicious! The Pork Chop was tenderized and grilled to perfection. I also appreciate the hint of coconut milk in the broken rice; I love coconut milk. It comes with the quintessential pickled vegetables, which were not too sourish; just right. The Pork Chop was also tender and nicely grilled. We also poured fish sauce on it which gave it that extra Vietnamese taste; I always pour fish sauce into Vietnamese noodle dishes. The two smoothies were quite good, creamy, and refreshing. It had good avocado and coconut tastes. Because they have an open kitchen, you can see them assembling your food. Our chicken and pork chop was pre-grilled and kept warm, allowing them to serve dishes quickly. However we managed to see them using real avocados in preparing the avocado smoothie. When I was leaving, I heard this one woman who said she has ordered from this restaurant 3 days in a row! Quite a testimonial! There are no gluten-free options. This is their first location, which opened on 2025-09-15. They only use natural ingredients. Everything is made from scratch and cooked in-house, on the same day. Anything left over at the end of the day is sold via Too Good To Go. Broken rice is a little tougher than traditional white rice, so they add coconut milk to make it softer and add fragrance. There are two high round tables, suitable for standing up to eat. The front windows face west so it could get hot in there with the blazing sun. They do have blinds that can be lowered. There is no free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There are no customer washrooms. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-211

Lemongrass chicken
Michelle S.

Just had the BEST Vietnamese lemongrass grilled chicken ever! Juicy, flavorful, perfectly grilled--and I seriously wish I could get a double portion. The green onion oil, coconut milk rice, and fish sauce were perfection. I could eat this every single day. So good! Cost: $15.20 w/HST.

This establishment mostly serves as a take out place. It does have two high bar tables, however the space is not recommended for people wanting to dine with a big group. Food wise, the portions are great! They're not stingy at all, and I hope they are able to keep up with their portions! The flavours were great too! I'd highly recommend this place for anyone seeking fast and delicious Vietnamese styled broke rice.

Lemongrass rice bowl
Leyla V.

Great spot for Vietnamese bowls! I decided to try a lemongrass chicken bowl and a fresh shrimp roll. I found the bowl to be well seasoned, chicken was juicy, and overall it was very delicious. The shrimp roll was nice but I did have better in the past, the peanut dipping sauce it came with was amazing though! Service was quick and friendly. One thing to note that it's a takeout-only spot as they only had two dine in tables.

I got the chicken bowl and I miss say it's the juiciest and most tender chicken I've eaten and it was full of flavor which hit the spot. The rice also was tasty and unusual. The veggies were pickled and delicious. There's not much space to sit and eat inside. It's typically meant for takeout. Our food came out quick and the staff is courteous. Overall, a great experience and will be back if we're in the area.

Just got 2 pork skewers here and i was surprised how big they were. They were really flavourful and i was impressed by how filling it was. This place overall is a takeout mainly spot with limited seating. The staff was nice and gave a walk through of the menu. Service was also very quick and i was in and out within 5 minutes.

This is a new take out place on Yonge Street serving Vietnamese food. They serve boxes of food and you can choose different types of meat on salad, rice or noodles. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are generous. They also have a combo which is one extra dollar and you can get a drink. Food was prepared very quickly and it fresh and the inside was clean and organized. I tried the lemongrass chicken on rice which comes with some cucumbers and some pickled vegetables as well. I also tried the shrimp roll which was a bit pricey but it was very fresh and tasted great. The fish sauce they give you is also quite good - it's a bit sweet and not very strong. Overall a great new place and would definitely recommend if you're craving fresh food with generous portions at reasonable prices.

I got the lemongrass grilled chicken. The taste is definitely up there, but the portion can be bigger. Considering how expensive Vietnamese food prices are these days, paying 13.50 (before tax) feels reasonable.

eating outside in cold kinda BLOWS....

No opinion as website does not show prices unless you order. It should, for we who want to pick up in person.

It was my first time in years dining at Pho Hung and food is exactly as I remembered and still…read moredelicious! I had my usual vermicelli bowl with grilled chicken, veggies and crispy spring roll. They have large and regular size and I got regular which was still filling. Also had their famous fried chicken wings which are fantastic! Highly recommend! The owner said it's a secret recipe they actually got from Buffalo NY. Ambience is always warm and I forgot this Spadina location has an extension that used to be their patio. Fast service and it was nice to see the owner who is usually there. And thankfully it wasn't packed when we got there on a Saturday around 1pm. This restaurant is still a family favourite!

I visited on a Friday night at 6:20 PM, and there were plenty of tables available. I had been…read moredebating whether to try this restaurant for a while, and while I'm glad I did, I'll still be going to my favourite Vietnamese spot down the street, Anh Dao. I ordered the bun bo hue, pho, and spring rolls. The bun bo hue tasted more like a spicy pho broth, and the pho reminded me of the broth at the Michelin recommended restaurant on Ossington. Overall, the bun bo hue and spring rolls were just okay, nothing special. The pho was good if you're looking for something simple. They also put a large piece of beef tendon in the pho, which I loved! One thing I didn't like was that the owner seemed to be rushing us to order, which felt a bit off putting. I'd come back for the pho and spring rolls, but I'm not sure about the other dishes.

They have 5 types of dry noodles with pork tossed with sauce, which is super hard to find as a dish…read more(even if you look for similar dishes in Singaporean, Malaysian, Thai and Cambodian cuisines). The dry noodle dishes under the green column use egg noodles & those under the brown use rice noodles but the toppings & sauce are the same. The most pricey rice noodles are Japanese but otherwise the difference is width. Got the thin egg noodle version in large. It's recommended to add pickled garlic & red vinegar. The soup was pretty tasty with a natural sweetness, 2 springy half fishballs & a large, very fresh shrimp. The sauce was basically oyster sauce but pickled garlic, red vinegar, hoi sin & chili sauce were available to add complexity. The noodles weren't wet but were not dry either. Large was a very big bowl it came with minced pork, thin sliced pork beansprouts & greens. The pickled garlic was good. Also got a shrimp fritter on the side for $2.50. It was big with one tiny shrimp. The juxtaposition was comical but it was cheap. It was not warm but the fritter was crispy & tasty. Unfortunately the shrimp itself was dry & brittle. Service was good, especially for an Asian place.

How do I keep forgetting this place? They have been around forever, and I mean literally forever…read more Perhaps I overlooked because they don't fall into the usual perception of Viet food, but it's definitely genuinely and authentically, Viet! Right down to the non-white washed clientele. I'd always prefer to dine where the "locals" dine, and being in a multicultural city like Toronto, it's difficult to fine a hidden gem that hasn't been invaded by foreigners (I'm laughing inside because I'm not Viet and am disliking myself for being that invader; however, I can pass for a Viet if I just point to the table I want and the menu item I'd like ). So, please keep this place to yourself as I would hate to line up the next time I come.
