My initial foray into the world of dining in at a Vietnamese restaurant marked an exciting…read moreadventure, and Pho did not disappoint. This renowned establishment, primarily known for its takeout options, promised to deliver a unique and memorable experience. As we entered the restaurant on a warm weekend, I couldn't help but admire the tastefully designed decor and the ambiance that was a perfect blend of tranquility and cultural authenticity. The safe and spacious seating arrangements complemented the contemporary expectations of comfort and safety, setting the stage for a delightful dining experience. However, the promising first impression began to wane as we encountered a noticeable shortcoming--customer service. For a restaurant of such stature, I anticipated a warm and inviting reception. Regrettably, our arrival was met with indifference. The employee behind the counter, absorbed in their computer, provided only a cursory nod in acknowledgment. Our party was left to our own devices, with no one extending a greeting or guiding us to a table. After seating ourselves, a considerable amount of time elapsed before a server finally attended to our needs and initiated the order-taking process. Oddly, the restaurant was far from crowded during our visit, with only two other tables occupied. This made the lackluster service even more perplexing. The sluggishness of the service extended to every aspect of our dining experience. Our inquiries for recommendations, especially considering my limited knowledge of Vietnamese cuisine, yielded disappointingly sparse information. The lack of guidance left me questioning whether I would return to this establishment. The true litmus test of any dining experience, however, lies in the food. In this regard, Pho did have its moments. Several dishes from the à la carte menu presented generous portions that were challenging to finish, even for my adult son. The flavors were generally good, with a delightful taste that teased the palate. Yet, the devil was in the details. Regrettably, my order for spicy fried rice with extra hot sauce left me wanting. The dish that arrived at our table was far from the fiery delight I had anticipated, and I had to request additional hot sauce to salvage the spiciness I had hoped for. In conclusion, my inaugural experience at Pho was a mixed bag, defined by both highs and lows. The exquisite decor and ambiance, coupled with the delectable flavors of some dishes, provided moments of culinary delight. However, the subpar customer service, lack of guidance, and inconsistencies in food preparation marred what could have been an exceptional dining experience. While I appreciate the positives, it is clear that improvements are needed in areas critical to a memorable dining adventure. Whether or not I return to Pho in the future will depend on the degree to which these issues are addressed. I hope to see the restaurant reach its full potential, offering a consistently outstanding experience to diners who seek a taste of Vietnamese cuisine.

The food flavour is amazing ! Portion size BIG which is rare…read morethese days. One order can easily feed 2 if not more! I was hungry so tried the green curry, red curry and pad Thai. All 3 were sooooo good. My wife and I have have over half of each still left over. The spring rolls are the best spring rolls I've ever had and I've had them around the world ! Make sure you get a couple of those with your main course. Will be going back soon.

Got the Pad Thai (#18) and the Banhseo (#8). After all the claims that this was the best pad thai in Kingston, I have to say I was pretty disappointed. The noodles weren't exactly great; good hardness but not good chew. Flavour was a little on the bland side. However, I really enjoyed the Banhseo. It's like an thin crepe/pancake wrapped around chicken, bean sprouts. Served with fish sauce, and some chili sauce, it was light and tasty, but also very satisfying. Portion sizes are huge. Definitely good value.

The menu includes your standard selection of green and red curries, lemongrass fried rice and stir fries.

What was ordered: Vietnamese spring rolls - 3 rolls cut in half Green curry with chicken Malaysian curry fried noodles - comes with chicken and shrimp The curry and noodles were ordered with medium spice and the noodles definitely had more of a kick but everything ordered was fresh and flavourful. They added Napa cabbage to both the curry and noodles which is something I haven't experienced before. Service was quick and attentive. Good first experience. We would consider coming again when in Kingston

To be honest one of the worst tasting "viet / Thai" food that I have had. Super unauthentic because I believe it is owned & made by Chinese people. My shrimp roll was basically 95% white vermicelli with 3 shrimps that were sliced in halves and a big piece of lettuce ... all I tasted was white bland noodles. The sauce they gave was very thin and runny (I think water mixed with hoisin sauce?) I didn't know it was possible to have a viet salad roll gone wrong.. The beef noodle was verrry basic at most, very little beef pieces and 50% random vegetables mixed into the noodle. Tasted very much like something out of a food court.. if you are used to the typical and authentic Thai / Viet food you will be highly disappointed with it here. But it seems like Kingston doesn't have much viet/Thai restaurants to compare to.

I probably come here more than any other restaurant in town. I know the food will be reliably good…read more The owner and the other servers are friendly and warm, and they get to know their regulars. It's also easier to park here compared to the parent Saigon Delights establishment downtown. Food highlights at More Saigon Delights include: The pho is very good. It's a toss up between this place and Mekong for the best pho in Kingston. The broth here is lighter and more "plain" and that's not meant to be a criticism. It's a clearer, more refreshing broth in the pho at More Saigon Delights. Mekong pho has a heavier, beefier broth. Mekong's beef is better though -- that's the only place in Kingston where pho is served with rare sliced beef that's still rare when they set the bowl down in front of you. Back to the pho at More Saigon Delights: you will get a lemon to squeeze, and a little dish of sriracha and hoisin for adding to your bowl or for dipping. Other items like cilantro and bean sprouts will already be in your bowl of pho. Some die hard pho aficionados insist on the plate of garnishes; well, you won't find that in Kingston so you'll have to do with this way (already added to the bowl). The rice dishes at More Saigon Delights are all very good too. Excellent level of spice, lots of veggies (if in the dish) and the beef/chicken/pork that's in the dish is usually perfectly prepared. Their fried hu tieu (fried noodles) is good-to-very good. Lastly, their bun is a Kingston favourite. Can't go wrong with the bun cha gio #5 or #6 (with grilled meat) because the cha gio (deep fried spring rolls) are excellent here. I think you aren't likely to walk away from here thinking this was the "best" Vietnamese you've ever had. But, each time you finish eating here, you will walk away thinking "yes, that was really good again"...and the same next time...and again when you're back the next time, and at last you realize why it is you come here more often than other restaurants in town.

The server took our orders in as the last orders of the night as it was around 8:30. Price was very reasonable. My group ordered a lot of the different Pho dishes and the special pho. The Special Pho Chopstix with Short Rib ($18.95) has a lot of meat in it and is also big enough to share between 2 people. I believe it only comes in the large size. I also wanted to sample how their rice dishes are so I ordered the Spicy Stir Fried Lemongrass Beef ($14.50). It came with some chopped cucumber. The beef lemongrass was alright but nothing extraordinary. Overall, the restaurant is good choice for those looking for a clean Pho place with an affordable menu right at the heart of Kingston.

Pho Chopstix is really just like any other pho spots offering a bunch of noodle, rice, appetizer and drink options. Very standard menu with fair prices overall. There's a decent bit of seating and it definitely fills up during peak dinner time. Went with the large rare beef pho ($13) and was pretty satisfied. The broth was IMO better than Mekong as well as having great portions. Standard noodle wise but I thought there could have been more beef. Great broth makes up for it though. They have a 10% off if you use cash too.

The place takes only debit or cash, so don't forget to bring more than just your credit card! We shared a pad thai, a Cambodiana (green curry based) soup, and then got an iced coffee to go. All were soooo good!! The Cambodiana had a slight kick, but was quite milky rich with coconut milk. It was loaded with chicken strips and bamboo shoots. It basically tastes like a flavourful, watered down green curry... but I'm not complaining! The pad thai was not greasy nor too soft / soggy. There were a few pieces of plump shrimp and the portion sizes were very generous! We were stuffed upon finishing the two mains, and even had to leave some rice behind. I had a coffee craving, so we got a coffee before leaving. At first, I was shocked by the price tag (almost $6 for a one size / small), but the iced coffee was so smooth and rich. It basically tasted like a Vietnamese iced coffee, but much less stringent and not as sweet. A lot of effort was also put into it, with small crushed up bits of ice that quickly cooled down the drink. Delicious! Would love to come back again for Cambodian food.

Excellent food with great, hearty portions! I had the tofu pad thai with Thai style stir-fried…read morenoodles with fried tofu, green onion, bean sprouts, and roasted peanuts which was delicious! I liked that there was a good amount of peanuts sprinkled on the pad thai, giving it texture, and the tofu was soft, tasty, and altogether fantastic. I also tried some of the panang curry tofu which, served with a base of coconut milk, tasted fresh and yummy. One of my favourite parts of this restaurant was its ambience -- it's a homey and cozy place and it was fairly quiet when I went on a Wednesday evening. Their hours are pretty limited though (until 8pm on all nights and they're closed on Sundays) so I would keep an eye out for that. Our server was excellent and the location of the restaurant is pretty sweet too -- right in front of the hospital with all the downtown bus stops. I will definitely be back!
