Before coming, I read a lot of Yelp reviews, so my expectations weren't high. The actual experience…read morewas a mix of pleasant surprises and disappointments. First, the pros: their burgers are definitely a highlight. The patties are very substantial, with a genuine meaty flavor, not the mass-produced kind. The toppings are also well-chosen, not just piled on haphazardly. The plating is also a plus; it looks quite appetizing when it arrives at the table. The service is generally friendly, not overly enthusiastic but not unpleasant either. However, the cons are also quite obvious. The biggest problem is the inconsistent quality--some dishes are excellent, while others are rather ordinary, even making you feel like "something else tastes better." Plus, the prices aren't cheap, so if you happen to order an average dish, the value for money doesn't quite meet your expectations. Also, the restaurant lacks a truly memorable signature dish, making it less memorable after your meal.

A Vietnamese restaurant attached to Pacific Mall. Located to the left of the mall entrance facing…read moreSteeles Ave. Upon arriving, I noticed how large the restaurant was and how they had really big tables for larger parties. We got there around 11:30AM and it wasn't busy yet but had people trickling in as the time passed. Service was a solid 5/5. Staff were so nice and happy - always smiling at us whenever they brought anything to our table. The dishes here were great with some adjustments to their dishes, I think it could be a solid 5/5! Here goes: Viet coffee 4/5 - Love me an iced Viet coffee. Was a tad sweet imo, so think they could adjust their condensed milk portions for this. Overall was a great caffeine hit drink though. Banh Cuon 5/5 - Oh my goodness - must get! Chewy steamed rice rolls with a pork filling dipped into the fish sauce. Came with grilled meats which were to die for. Bun Cha Ha Noi 5/5 - Meats were very well seasoned in the broth like sauce. It's a dipping type noodle and was absolutely divine. Bun Bo Hue 4/5 - This was good but not too spicy. Lacked a bit of umami flavour and felt like it could have used a bit more depth. Pho Bo 4/5 - Standard beef pho that was comforting and delicious. Overall a pretty solid spot for Vietnamese food. Would visit this place again.

Opening almost three months, this Vietnamese restaurant beside Pacific Mall is serving…read moremouth-watering dishes, but the interior is what initially blew me away. Besides enjoying their staple rice dishes with different proteins like grilled pork and noodle soup (pho), we also tried their newest dishes. Vietnamese Crepes - bean sprouts, green beans herbs + shrimp/beef wrapped in crepe Banh Khot - small egg cakes with toppings (shrimp, beef, pork, mushroom) These dishes were very refreshing and flavorful. Definitely, Vietnamese cuisine still has a lot more to offer than just pho. I recommend you give these dishes a try!

Came back for another visit and ordered a couple of different items from last time. In addition to…read morethe salad and crispy chicken we added a order of: Spring Rolls - love the way they come in little rolls as opposed to 2 large ones cut in half; perfectly crispy Bone Marrow Carbonara - unfortunately this was a miss. It's basically carbonara pasta with bone marrow you scrape off from the bone. Sauce wasn't very flavourful and a bit too watered down. Still a good second visit.

A cool, modern take on Vietnamese food. This place is really busy and for a good reason! Their menu…read morehas many items indicated as a "favourite". I found it funny cause almost every item has the "favourite" symbol but everything tastes good! I love the decor inside. Lots of lights, florals and greenery. There is limited seating though since it gets busy - Maybe 10 tables of 4 on the outside perimeter and another 5 tables of 4 on the inside. We got the razor clams, 12 wings and beer special (after 8:30pm), smoked beet and pig ear salad, brisket and ribs and bun bo hue. The 12 wings and beer would have been such a good deal except the drink was pretty watered down. We brought it up to the waitress so hopefully they change that in the future. The wings were crispy,m and delicious. The razor clams tasted good too, but it only comes with 4. The smoked beet and pig eat salad was one of our favourites! Unique, flavourful and good crunchy textured. The brisket and ribs were another favourite. Tender and flavourful. The bun bo hue was good too. Service could have been better. One of the waiters wasn't that friendly. We still had a good time though and enjoyed the food. I would come back to try their other dishes.

I came here thinking it was still Ngon Corner. Only when I…read moreopened the menu did I realize they have either changed owners or rebranded. Either way, The raw beef and beef balls pho was still awesome. There was an abundance of noodles and toppings. More than usual. So For that reason I highly recommend coming here for your Vietnamese fix. Not only was there an enormous amount of pho. The flavours and quality was also top notch. Price wise, it's very reasonable. No major change. I will definitely be back again.

I was honestly pretty disappointed with my experience at Pho in Love. The broth was very bland and…read morelacked the rich, deep flavor you'd expect from a good pho place and I am extremely thirsty afterward I think too much MSG. The meat-to-noodle ratio was also way off for $21 for a large bowl, it was mostly noodles with barely any meat. Compared to other pho restaurants in the area, this one really falls short in both quality and value. The overall taste honestly reminded me of instant pho you can buy at Costco rather than freshly made restaurant pho. Unfortunately, I wouldn't come back, especially with so many better pho options nearby.

Never had the chance to try this out till now and I have to say that it's worth the visit…read more Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get and the quality is amazing. The fresh spring rolls with pork and shrimp is a must try item and will be my top item I will always come back for. I got the Bun Rieu Cua W/ Soft crab ($20.95) + Extra 1 ($9), Pho Ga ($15.95) and Fresh pork and shrimp spring rolls ($9.95). Definitely come give it a try and during the weekdays they have specials where you order more than $50, you get a free selected appetizer.

Super busy during weekend lunch. Waited about 30 mins for a table. Nice that they text you when…read moreyour table is ready so you arent waiting in a tight space by the entrance. Instead it is located in a small strip mall you can wander around until you recieve that text. Comfy chairs and friendly service. The soft shell crab was delish! We also got the pho which was decent. Lemon grass chicken with rice was also served with porkchop and a fried egg (very filling). The cold shrimp salad and cold beef salad were so refreshing and tasty. Both were garnished with onions and fresh cilantro! Such a great combination with their light umami fish sauce dressing! Vermicelli bowl was also a light option complete with all the fixins. Vietnamese coffee was strong as expected. Tip: always slowly stir only the surface of the condensed milk so as not to add too much sweetness right away. Highly recommend.

I hadn't been back to this place since my last review, and maybe I was a bit too harsh previously…read moreor maybe they changed chefs but the food definitely seems to have improved since my last visit. There was a line up and more people this time around too. This time I tried the bone marrow pho and also had the roasted brisket pho. The roasted brisket was awesome and easily the highlight of the meal for me. They were also running a promo with free drinks (iced lychee or peach tea), which was a nice bonus. Neither drink is really my thing personally, but hey, free is free. The only thing I didn't like was the removal of the fresh noodle option, but the dry noodle was fine. Service was generally decent as well. Overall, a much better experience this time around, and I'd recommend giving it a try.

We went weekday as we heard it was super busy on the weekends…read more We ordered 2 pho rare beef, salad rolls and a mango smoothie The good: The place is clean and spacious. The portions are large. We got free chicken wings because our order was over $50 The not so good: They use a lot of msg in their food. Both of us were thirsty as sure sign of too much msg. And I can handle some msg but this was heavy handed. Our waiter kept forgetting the mango shake I wanted to like it but I don't think I'll be back due to the msg overload but if you're ok with that you should be fine The chicken wings had too much batter I thought but very crunchy The rolls were good and it was nice it came with a side salad

Came here for lunch on Friday. The decor is quite nice, very inviting and good space between…read moretables. Staff was friendly and place is very well run. Food came out quite quickly. Ordered a large house special pho (pho here is $18 for small and $21 for a large). A bit on the pricier side, but you get quite a bit in the bowl. I did see another table that had the pork bones and wow you get a lot of soft tasty meat. I am getting that next time (only available I think until 2pm, but it looked good. The noodles had a good bounce which I liked and the broth, although a little bit weak was very clean and had a good taste. You get lots of meat so the ratio is very good. I also got a pork and pate banh mi. This was nicely toasted and again you get a ton of meat ($8.99). All in all without drinks lunch cost me about $35 + tip, but these days everything is expensive. I would go again as the food is good. Will definitely try the pork bones with all that meat next time.

I've heard of Pho Metro before, but this is the first time I've actually gotten a chance to eat…read morehere, and boy have I been missing out! They had a separate menu for curry options, and that I'm always drawn to a good curry. This stir fry was so flavourful and sweet and spicy at once. It was the perfect portion size for me, and I was able to bring some home to enjoy for another meal. I definitely plan on returning and trying new dishes, because there's soooo many good options to pick from. There is an hour seating limit as it gets quite busy, yet the busyness of the restaurant didn't make us feel cramped at all. It had a personal and homey feel to it with the walls covered in all sorts of drawings. Overall, this was a great experience! I'm looking forward to coming again.

Overall rating: 4.2/5…read more A neighbourhood favourite for pho! This place is usually busy, but we were able to get seated fairly quickly even on the weekend. A few highlights from my recent visit: - The manager at the cashier is super friendly! - Food (especially pho) comes out quickly, tasty, & satisfying. The broth is rich though looks unassuming at first. Portions are reasonable and balanced, meaning that you're not getting a few slices of beef to a large amount of noodles. - Price wise, it's reasonable (though I wouldn't say it's the cheapest pho in the area, but the quality is there!). Note that they do have a 1hr seating time limit, which I appreciate because it probably helps shorten the wait time :)

Solid 4.5 stars. I…read morethink the resto is still relatively (less than 1 year open) fresh/new. For me, what is really making me and my friends come back often is the pricing. I don't know if it was strategic on their part, but they have effectively undercut some of their biggest viet competitors by $3-4 on a lot of their items which to me makes this resto rank VERY HIGH in terms of value because of their also huge portions. Admittedly, the taste of their pho broth still doesn't beat Ngon Corner in Richmond Hill for me but they have some items that I can't find on a lot of resto menus. For example, the signature grilled meat platter is amazing. It says serves 2-4 ppl on the menu and I think that's pretty accurate. My friend and I shared one and we're big eaters so we shared it between the two of us and actually felt full! They also PACK the platter with ingredients and don't skimp on anything which is awesome. You love to see it. Also, I came with the gf and the curry is quite layered in terms of flavour. But for me, the most underrated item is the tomato beef brisket noodle soup. Damn, that tomato broth SLAPPED. Better broth than a lot of chinese soup noodle places I've been to and the brisket was also very tender. Even though Ngon Corner is still packing the most flavour in their pho broth, I found myself somehow gravitating to this place with more and more visits because of the sheer value and pricing (I've also told a lot of ppl that they're quite affordable compared to some of the other Viet stalwarts in Markham/RHill). Hopefully this continues and they don't get greedy and decide to increase the prices!

There are so many new pho places popping up! I was excited to try this one because I was enticed by…read morethe seafood tower. The top tier was all mango salad - my favourite! The tower is for 2-4 people and includes fresh rolls, skewers, other appetizers, and some seafood. It was fun to try but I don't think it was anything special. The taste and flavour of the food is mediocre. We went on a weekday evening and they had two servers working. There were people coming in and out consistently during the time we were there. Maybe they were understaffed because I thought the service was quite poor, hence the two stars. They were friendly but very slow and kept forgetting stuff that we asked for. Anytime we needed something, we had to ask multiple times in order to get it. Whether it be water, more sauce, getting the bill, etc. I won't be returning here with the plethora of other pho places in and around the area.

Dined at Linh Anh on December 9, 2024 at 8 pm. This place sure hit the spot on a cold winter night…read moreand you're craving for a nice bowl of hot pho. As soon as I walked into the doors, the aroma of the pho overtook my senses and my mouth was already salivating and my palate was excited. Everyone knows the rule of eating pho is eat the first spoon of broth alone. After I sipped my first spoon, I squeezed a bit of lime and dived in for more. The broth was perfectly seasoned and had a depth of flavor that was evident that the broth was made over several hours. Just a nice simply beef noodle soup that reminded me of my childhood eating pho at home. It's very rare to say pho at a restaurant is comparable to one made at home. When good food makes you reminisce of your younger years, I totally understand what "food is love." The interior design really takes you back in time with the old TV and radio equipment. I thought it was pretty cool. The service was adequate. Overall, one of the best pho I had in Toronto.

This place is always packed and busy, and after finally trying it, I understand why. We came for…read moredinner on a Sunday night and luckily didn't have to wait too long for a table. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and service was quick and efficient throughout the meal. One thing I liked is that the pho only comes in one size, which is basically equivalent to a large bowl at most other spots. The broth was so good that I barely needed to add anything besides bean sprouts, basil, and a squeeze of lime. It was light, clean, and incredibly comforting. There was a generous amount of meat, especially beef tendon, and the portion overall was huge. It's rare for me to struggle to finish a bowl of pho, but this one had me tapping out near the end. Definitely understand why this spot is such a Scarborough favorite.
