I come here often with my coworker to get the lunch special and it is definitely worth the money for what you get! I got the rare beef pho with spring roll and whipped milo iced coffee. The food here is always good, love the pho broth! Not too salty and the serving size is great. The ambiance is so nice, the decor inside is really cute and I like that the servers are quick to get you seated and always checks up on how you are doing. Will definitely keep coming here to try more stuff on the menu read more

Stay cool this summer at @dearsaigon.official Just tried their new "Stay Cool, Sip Tropical" summer drink lineup and WOW..each sip felt like a mini vacation! Whether you're into fruity, creamy, or refreshing vibes, there's a drink for every mood. Available now at all locations! Paired it with their infamous Pho (yes, the one everyone raves about) and let me tell you... it hits DIFFERENT. Rich, fragrant, comforting--pho-nomenal in every way Oh, and the wings? Don't sleep on them. Perfectly seasoned, crispy, and just the right kick. Trust. read more

Dear Saigon on Yonge is my local spot for hot Vietnamese. The interior is really cozy. Their House Pho is a great intro to all the toppings (rare beef, brisket, etc.) if u never been to this place. Their brisket and beef balls are top-notch. If you like it spicy, the Bun Bo Hue has a unique, almost seafood-y broth. The broth is flavourful for me. The Tom Yum and Satay soups weren't my favorites (not super authentic IMO). The Beef Knuckle Bone is a must-try - incredibly tender! (Just the bone, no noodles). The prices are reasonable too! Average $2x per person, the 2 ppl set probably will save u some money and you get to have 2 nice drinks and a appetiser too. Definitely worth checking out for yourself! read more

Food: 4/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 We still like coming to eat here. When we do, we often get take out for my parents as they also love this place but they don't like leaving the house much. Food: To eat at the restaurant I ordered the shrimp fresh roll & pork fresh roll. Hubby ordered the chicken wings for appetizer. For a main dish he ordered the lemongrass beef with rice. I have had the shrimp roll before & it's good. I really liked the pork fresh roll. That was surprisingly tasty. The chicken wings were messy but really yummy. They were still steaming when they came to our table. It was a honey garlic flavour with some nuts sprinkled on the top & green onions as well. Hubby really liked his lemongrass beef & rice. For take out we ordered the chicken with rice, chicken pad thai, shrimp pad thai, beef vermicelli & rare beef pho. I almost forgot to mention I got one of their desserts with the coconut milk, jelly & red bean. So delicious! We really like their food. The portions are great for the size of the dish. Everything is seasoned well. The pad thai is marked as spicy but it's not really that spicy which is fine for me! LOL. Service: There were only 3 servers at the restaurant. A young man, a young woman & an older woman. This location might be family run? I'm not sure. In any case, the servers handle all the customers really well. And they are nice too! The food also comes out quickly. One thing I noticed though, the appetizers don't come out first. I got my shrimp roll & pork roll first. Hubby got this beef & rice when I was almost finished my rolls. Then the chicken wings were last. LOL. It would have been nice to get all the appetizers around the same time. But it's not a dealbreaker. Ambiance: The music is a bit loud here. A mixture of different music. Some of it sounded like K-pop. I couldn't tell because none of the music was in English. Anyway, Dear Saigon is brightly coloured with yellow. The upholstered seats are green. There are light wood tones in the space as well. The booths have dark upholstery. It looks like black from where we sat. The washrooms are down the stairs. Two stalls for ladies. And the washroom was clean. One thing to note, be careful near the front entrance if the tiles are wet. There is a rug there but it doesn't absorb all the water. Hubby & I came here one time after a large snowfall & the floors were very wet & slippery. The stairs to the washrooms are near the front entrance & I almost slipped down the stairs because of all the water. I didn't see them mop the floor while we ate there either. Overall, we still like this place. It's the closest vietnamese restaurant to us that we like. Their food tastes great, the portion for price is great too. Service hasn't disappointed us so far either! read more

We enjoyed the authentic Vietnamese food and an awesome vibe as we tried some of their dishes. Their drinks are so refreshing and pho portions are massive. Order the V5! Here are some of the things we tried: Strawberry smoothie Pandan cloud Tom Yum noodle soup w seafood Satay pho w/ rare beef and tripe Grilled pork plus shrimp with spring roll Big beef bone with noodles Mango salad with grilled shrimp read more

What a great find! This restaurant has a fun and lively atmosphere, but it's not too loud or crowded. Recommended for everyone: couples, families, all ages. Came here with a Vietnamese friend and she gave the pho her stamp of approval, and so this place gets five stars for sure! The pho portion size looked so big; since this place is new, I don't know if they will offer different portion sizes in the future, but be prepared to be full! I tried the chicken and spring roll on vermicelli, and this was tasty, too. The only thing was that they said they couldn't split our bill (I think because it was a Friday night?)-- this suggests that they could use a better point-of-sale system. Meanwhile, if you pay cash, there's a 5% discount, just like many Vietnamese places. read more

Ever since opening their doors starting in Scarborough and Richmond Hill, Dear Saigon continues to impress the entire GTA community with their take on Vietnamese cuisine with the new location in North York! They've definitely got our favourite classics such as the 3 Layer Pho with Beef Rib and the Dear Saigon Platter with humble appetizers such as the Betel Beef Rolls and Shrimp Crepe PancKes! However, you definitely need to try the new dishes such as the Beef Ribeye Carpaccio which is a great representation of Vietnamese flavours of salty, sweet, sour, and spice. The drinks are quite refreshing especially with new drinks like the Roasted Corn Latte! Be sure to swing by the Willowdale location of Dear Saigon for a small trip to Vietnam! read more

I love all types of Asian cuisine so I've been quite happy to see a whole bunch of new Vietnamese restaurants opened in the past year. I've been to most of them in Scarborough and they've all been good, really good. I was quick to accept an invitation from a friend to check out the newest location of Dear Saigon at Yonge and Finch. It's very nicely decorated with hanging lamps, foliage, and warm colours creating an intimate ambiance. Although there appeared to be ample seating, it was packed to capacity practically the whole time we were there. We started with a very tasty Mango Salad that included peanuts and shrimps. It was really good! Our next dish, Grilled Pork and Chicken with Vermicelli and Spring Roll, was larger than expected and very nicely presented. It tasted as good as it looked. Delicious! We also ordered the Big Beef Bone Pho that included a rather large Beef Knuckle Bone. The portion size was so large, it was served in two bowls, one with noodles. It was really good but we took home half of it. To wash it all down, we had their Peach Orange Lemongrass Tea and Whipped Milo Latte. Both were really good! This was a very enjoyable meal, with great flavours, and good service. read more

Cute restaurant at Yonge and Finch. We went for lunch on a very cold Tuesday afternoon. I felt the pho just hit the spot that day. Broth was flavorful, tons of beef in the soup as well. I also love how they have different types of chili's and also had pickled garlic. Another thing I really liked is the small sauce container that not all pho places provide. For dessert I have the jelly and red bean with shaved ice. I also tried the bread pudding. Didn't expect it to come with so much pork floss on top. If they could put it on the side for you to add however much you want I think that would have been better. There were only 2 servers at the time we went but they were attentive and very nice. read more

Pad Thai offers a delightful blend of salty, savory, sweet, and tangy flavors. Enhancing it with crushed peanuts and a squeeze of lime elevates the experience to pure bliss. The sizzling stone bowl Pho arrives bubbling hot; adding noodles and beef allows them to cook to perfection, making it ready to enjoy in no time For beverages, the coconut coffee slush and the tiramisu-inspired egg coffee are both exceptional choices But the music is a little bit loud as a Vietnamese restaurant during lunch time read more

Tried out Pho Anh Vu's Yonge/Finch location (I've tried other locations) and was quite disappointed. We tried out their pho and bun dishes. The food was a solid 3.5/5. I tried out their bun dish with pork and egg roll. Quite a large portion which left me very full! Nothing special and just below average dish. As for service, here's where we were quite disappointed. Although I understand that the bun (vermicelli) dish typically takes longer to prepare over the pho, normally restaurants begin preparation for this dish before the pho, so both dishes come out at the same time. However, the pho came out first (which the person I was with finished in 15 mins). 15 minutes later, we asked when the other dish would come out and the waitress never got back to us. 5 mins later, the bun finally came out. We basically ate separately. :/ For our bill, the staff member auto-tipped too. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice though, and great decor! read more

My aunt wanted to take me to my birthday brunch, and after some research, we decided on Dear Saigon at Finch and Yonge. The ambience looked conducive to a lovely dining experience and that's exactly what we got. The prices were reasonable, and when the food arrived (quickly!), it looked beautiful and was also bountiful! What generous portions! And delicious? Next day, my taste buds kept remembering the oh-so-tasty chicken and the vermicelli that was perfect. Most of all, I would like to give waiter Tyler five stars for his excellent service, and for treating my auntie with the utmost patience, respect and dignity. I will definitely be returning and recommending this restaurant. Thank you for a great birthday experience. read more

Like their other locations, great decor and design, excellent service and very good food! We ordered the beef bone pho which can serve two with the amount of food it came with. The soup is flavorful and comforting. The hot pepper, garlic, and hot sauce on the side are so good too. Great addition to any pho for heat lovers. The Thai iced coffee was good. Standard but more ice and less coffee than I'd like. All in all best pho place in my hood. I hear the mango salad is amazing too. I'll try that in the summer! read more

Amidst their big expansion across the GTA, I was pleasantly surprised to see a location pop up at Yonge-Finch. We wanted to see how this location stacked up against the others. We came by on New Years Day around 6 and it was decently busy with a short wait list. FOOD (4/5) We ordered a large Pho Tai that comes with rare beef and well done flank (#18) and a Grilled Pork Spring Roll Vermicelli (#48). The pho had nice a nice bouncy noodle consistency and the broth was clear and wasn't heavy in MSG. I'd say this location's broth was slightly inferior to the OG and Markham locations. The vermicelli was very classic, and the spring roll that came with it was hot and crispy. DRINKS (5/5) We had to also order two Vietnamese Iced Coffees (#D4) which were served in whiskey glasses as opposed to a tall glass or disposable cup (a la other locations). Creamy, sweet, delighfully bitter, chocolatey, delicious! Highly recommend but be warned the caffeine is strong! They also had a drink menu which served soju - very fitting for the area! AMBIENCE (4/5) The restaurant was nicely lit and had booth seats running along the side. Similar to the other locations, there was the cherry blossom decor and a Pho Anh Vu neon sign. SERVICE (3.5/5) Service was simultaneously great but also slightly poor. Even though there were empty tables, we still had to wait for the waitress to clean the table which she said would take 10 mins. Presumably it was to stagger seating to ease up orders for back-of-house but it felt strange having to wait while there was a handful of empty seats. Like most Asian restaurants you have to flag down servers and they won't proactively ask if you need anythung. They were very quick to bring anything we asked for. They do take credit cards here, including Amex! ACCESSIBILITY (5/5) Steps away from Finch station and there is paid street parking on Yonge and in the lot behind the Shoppers. VALUE (4/5) Portions are very large and was definitely enough to have leftovers for lunch the next day. By no means is this a cheap eat but you do get decent value of cost to fullness. OVERALL (4/5) Not my favourite Pho Anh Vu across overall but still a good Vietnamese option in the area and will satisfy your Vietnamese food craving. A good switch up to all the Korean and Chinese spots in the area. read more

Came during soft opening. Restaurant is well decorated, with decent spacing between tables. I like that the sriracha and hoisin comes in their original bottles, so you don't have to guess what it might be. Ordered a bun bo hue dac biet. The soup is fantastic, and comes with a variety of meats hidden under the soup. The beef slices in particular are very tender and flavourful. Vermecelli is cooked well with a nice smooth texture and goes well with the broth. Saw lots of big beef ribs coming out of the kitchen, might try that next time. Finally a decent pho place at Yonge and Finch read more

Recently went to Dear Saigon's newest location at Yonge and Finch, and it did not disappoint! I've been to their Scarborough location several times, and this new location has the same high quality for authentic Vietnamese food. Portions were huge, with lots of beef and noodles in the bowls of pho. This location is also a lot more spacious and with lots of pretty decor. Staff were very friendly and attentive. My only issue was that I was really thirsty afterwards from the satay pho, however the regular beef pho was fine. I'll definitely order one of their tasty drinks too next time. read more

I had the chance to dine at Pho Anh Vu today, a Vietnamese restaurant that's just opened up right around Finch Station. Despite arriving at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon, I was surprised by how busy it was. The crowd died down a bit by 4pm. The menu was tempting, so we settled on two dishes: number 48 and 61. 48, a generous plate of grilled pork and spring rolls over vermicelli, was yummy. The pork was seasoned and grilled to perfection, offering a satisfying blend of flavors. However, 61, which involved DIY rice paper wraps, was a mixed bag. The concept was fun, but rolling them could be a bit of a challenge, and the servings of pork and shrimp were modest compared to the heaps of veggies and noodles. A bit more meat or perhaps some additional peanut sauce would have been great. What stood out was the assortment of condiments and pickles available - a nice touch for customizing the flavors to anyone's liking. Watch out though, the containers can be sticky... On the pricing front, it was slightly ($2-3) higher per dish than other local pho places, but given the size of the servings, it felt reasonable. The service was spot-on: quick, attentive, and friendly, even amidst the busy crowd. Pho Anh Vu is a delightful addition to the neighborhood. It's not just about the food, but the whole experience that makes me eager to return. Whether it's for a casual lunch or a fun dinner outing, this place has charm and quality that I hope it maintains. p.s. 10% off (any payment method) as an opening deal! read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Came here on a Friday night at around 9pm and this place was packed! I'd heard nothing but good things about Pho Anh Vu but had never gone to their stores because they were quite out of the way. So I was really surprised and excited that they opened one at Yonge & Finch, First off, like so many people have said already, the interior is beautiful. It didn't look like a pho restaurant at all with the decor. We were asked to share a big table, which wasn't too bad since it was a Friday and I knew that they'd be busy. The service was quick with lots of people working there. And now to the pho. The broth was very flavourful and was piping hot. There was a bothersome amount of cilantro though so I think next time I'll ask them for less. I really liked the broth though. I ordered a small (my friends ordered the exact same pho). Although the price was a bit expensive compared to other pho I've had, I think it was pretty good. The spring rolls were good, light and crispy but for the price we paid, I didn't think it was worth it. I'd love the come back when it's less crowded to try some of their rice dishes too! read more

Food is good, more on the expensive side for Vietnamese cuisine but is understandable due to the prime location. Had the bun bo hue and enjoyed it. Will ask for no pig blood and pork hock next time. Iced coffee was great. Currently offering 10% off until Dec 31. read more

This is a newly opened Vietnamese noodle restaurant at Yonge and Finch. If we're talking specifically about Vietnamese rice noodles, the quality is considered good. The beef noodles we had were very generous in portion size, and the broth had a strong beef flavor. However, I highly do not recommend their chicken wings. The wings were overcooked, extremely tough, and lacked tenderness. Additionally, they were overly sweet. Since the restaurant just recently opened, they are currently offering a 10% discount. If you're a fan of beef-based Vietnamese rice noodles, it may be worth a try. 呢間喺yonge and finch新開嘅越南河，如果淨係講越南河粉嚟講，質素算係不錯。我哋食嘅牛河非常足料，湯底有滿滿嘅牛味。不過佢嘅雞翼，我相當之唔推薦。雞翼整到好硬，完全冇咬口同埋太重甜味。餐廳最近先開張，所以有10%discount。如果中意重牛嘅越南河粉，不妨一試。 read more

I picked up a Pho came home the noodles for half cooked and the meat and the tripe was not edible. I chewed and chewed, but it wasn't going anywhere very dissatisfying. I called them to let them know and they were just said OK and then hang up the phone. Zero customer service zero quality of the food. read more

Got the #18 Pho Tai Nam. Plenty of meat, many fatty pieces. Broth was on the sweeter side and pretty oily. Service superb - very quick! Went at around 1pm on a Friday and the restaurant had a steady flow although not too busy. read more

Went on a evening, ordered XL pho, mango salad, fried spring rolls, vermicelli. Was a lineup but was seated fairly quick. Food came out fast, service was good. Side condiments like fermented garlic, hot peppers really makes the experience together. Loved this place and will go back but I've been twice. Once was on a friday noon (they open at 11) but were already sold out of the beef bone. They need to make a bigger batch. Cmon bruhh cant sell out within an hour of opening!! read more

Awful service and very unprofessional. Staff served my food to another table. She then pretended to go back to the kitchen. Went around and served me the same food. When I said no, she was shocked. This is when I got up and left. She did not care. read more

The interior was nice and pleasant, small tables but clean. We ordered their famous beef ribs pho, the stock was good but in small quantity. The noodles was not quite cooked so it was al dente noodles soup The ribs were a little tough with no flavour left. The chicken steak & pork chop rice was nothing to write home about. The pork chop was dry, chicken was ok as it was dark meat. The crab spring rolls was small (4 pcs of 1" square), over fried, little crab inside , a little chewy under the breadcrumbs, was pretty bad, especially at $11.99 a pop. But worst of all was the service! This place is 3 min walk from me but I will never go back again. They didn't care where they put the food, didn't come to collect the plates after we ate to make room for the coffees we ordered. I asked for toothpicks, and was told to get it from the bar. I asked the waitress who brought the coffee to clear the table, she took one bowl away and left the rest there. The specialty coffees arrived but was filtering so slowly that after 10 min, I asked one waitress. She went to the bar, talked to the "barista ", returned and said it takes time. Another 10 min passed, we got 1/3 cup and it was getting cold as it took sooo long. I asked another waiter, he went to the bar , talked to the barista again and the barista came over. I told her the coffee is not dripping properly, she said it takes time. I asked how long , she said 10 min, I told her it's already been 20 . Then she said sometimes it's blocked, so I asked what should I do? She said, I am sorry, sometimes it doesn't drip properly. So I asked, as a customer, I take my chance with my coffee?? She didn't answer me. I said, I couldn't wait anymore, pls get me a plate to put the still filtering coffee. She brought it and left. The service was incredibly care less and no one to take charge. No management in sight and the barista obviously doesn't know what she is doing! No one offered to cancelled the non filtering coffees. One bowl of noodles, one plate of rice, one spring roll and 2 coffees, totally $73 . I don't mind so much if the food is mediocre and often return to restaurants if service is good and staff are welcoming. But this place, I wouldn't go back even if I eat for free. We left the coffee behind , got the bill and left. There was no thank you or nothing. The worst service and especially coffee I ever had! read more
