the front of a restaurant
Tony F.

I guess there's a large Viet community out in the west end, as this place is situated in a litte strip mall with a variety of viet business's including a supermarket. Now I know where to go when I need to make an emergency Pho pit, when I'm someone in the west end or on the 401. This quick drive down Black Creek Drive puts you right at one of the better Pho places I've been to in a while. The clientele is so eclectic here as I've seen hipster chicks, this elderly eastern eurpoean couple, and traditional viet families. I guess the word really is out about Pho. The "Special" Pho is done perfectly with a mishmash of meaty goodness. They have the mandatory required tripe, tendon and brisket with rare beef. I'm salivating just thinking of it. But what really puts this place over the top is the broth. It's one of the more flavourful broth's that I've had in a long while. It's also very consistent. I've been there 3 times now, and each time has been a hit. The place is run by the same two ladies that I've seen each time I've been there. Their english is adequate, but service is amazlingly prompt. The only thing that I HATE HATE HATE about this place is, they've had Kenny G playing in the background every single time I've been here. I'm doing everything I can to not lower them one star for it, but for now the 4 star rating stays.... for now...

Great find in this area that has a few rly bad pho places. My coworker and I found this in December when we were craving soup! Friendly service, tasty broth, great vegetarian menu and super clean. They are in the plaza on the him and definitely more authentic than the 2 other mot to be named :) Nice compromise from my coworkers to not just have to eat vegetarian for me ^_^ They are busy at kunch so just grab a table and write your order down on the paper. Must try their bahn beo, pho and rice noodke rolls!

Dad and I were in the area for a wedding, but we got pretty hungry after 2.5 hours of driving, so I searched some nearby food options, and chose this restaurant for a quick lunch. I ordered a rice dish and Dad got pho. We both loved the food - it was delicious and it came out fast and hot! The prices are also very reasonable. The only thing I'm gonna complain about is the lighting of the restaurant - a little dark. I would've liked the lights on. I had to change into my wedding apparel in the washroom, very clean! The staff are also very nice. I would love to come back again if I'm in the area!

I've came here once before with my husband and had their bun bo hue and it was good. My husband said his pho wasn't good so insisted we don't go back. But today we were nearby and I was hungry and convinced him to go. Boy was I disappointed, I order a bowl of pho with beef and tripe rice noodle soup and when it arrived at the table I thought the bowl was for a child portion. It was so small, it's not what a small size is at all your other pho places. The pho was so little, beef was quite tough and chewy, the tripe was good. In addition they didn't even bother serving us tea and we didn't even bother asking. We would never go back.

I ordered rare beef and beef balls pho. The broth was alright but the noodle wasnt the authentic type, it was the dried kind which was thicker and not as soft to eat. For a large (6.50) you dont get much, maybe 5 pieces of beef and 3 beef balls. It's a decent place but definitely not 4 star material, sorry. But... they had good music at least?

Amazing delicious beef tendon and brisket pho.
Mida C.

Really good pho restaurant in the area. The soup was very fragrant. I always order their beef brisket with tendon noodle and you can never go wrong with that. They make one of the best tendons I have ever ate in Toronto. (See photo attached). Unlike other places I've been to, they only throw a few pieces of tendon in casually. This one, she actually took the time and made it into a square; and traditionally, I have always remembered eating it this way. The place is super clean. Really friendly service. It is our regular go to pho restaurant now.

I ordered a combo which comes with a selection of noodles/chow mein, a small appetizer, and drink. I chose their traditional Lanzhou beef noodle (you also get to choose what type of noodle to get. I got the medium flat noodle). For app, I got their kelp salad which was so refreshing, and a HK style iced tea. My friend was particularly craving their skewers which were a decent size too. I forgot to take pics, but their portions are very generous for the price. Their noodles are hand pulled and you can really tell the difference in the quality. It's more bouncy and filling as they have more substance to them. Their service was very attentive and quick, and while the space of the restaurant is fairly small, there was no wait for 2 of us at 6:30 on a Saturday. Coming with a bigger group may be tougher considering the space. My total bill came to just under $26 after tax and tip, which is very reasonable for the amount and quality of food I got. No complaints at all and I'll definitely be back to an Omni Noodle location for comfort value eats.

This franchise is relatively new (I think been open under a year?)…read more Came w/ my buddy after badminton on a late friday night. Street parking was totally free after 9 pm. Pros: - more meat than I got at other locations - fast service Cons: - broth flavour was severely lacking compared to other locations (the tomato flavour was VERY watered down actually) - noodles were undercooked too much The taiwanese popcorn chicken was great though (they serve mainland style popcorn chicken and taiwanese style). I don't think I'd come back to this particular location. If I do, I will most likely opt for the dry style sesame mix noodles.

Got together with a friend and he found this place online and wanted to check it out. This is a…read morenorthern Chinese noodle house specializing in hot and sour dishes. I order the pork belly noodle and upgraded to the potato starch noodles. I like the texture of the clear noodles and there was nice big pieces of the pork belly. The soup was more sour than numbing hot. It was ok, but I think it's more of a personal thing rather than the quality. I think this is a good hot and sour soup if you like that, but it's not my cup of tea. You view the menu and place your order with your phone so don't expect a server will come by and take your order. There is plenty of space in the resto. Parking might be an issue if you are not in walking distance to the restaurant. 3.5*

It's been over 6 months since I last came here but I decided to come since they were celebrating…read moretheir 5 year anniversary and was offering BOGO for their noodle dishes. The inside is still very modern and sleek. However, the seating is still really uncomfortable since they are still using those hard wooden seats with no back support. The restaurant is also really cramped and tight. Unfortunately, we had to wait over 30 minutes for seating because most of their tables are two-top tables. And we came with 4 people. We ordered their Beef Tendon Noodle, traditional hand pulled beef noodle, stir fried tomato beef noodle, and their Chicken Chow Mein. As for appetizers, we got their bbq traditional chicken wings, BBQ pork belly, and their teppan squid. This time, I thought everything tasted really good. Last time, my complaint was that the hand pulled noodles were way too soft and overcooked. But this time, I asked for a thicker noodle and it came out perfect. It had a nice chew to it and wasn't overcooked. But the stand out for me was actually their stir fried tomato beef noodle and their chicken chow mein. I vastly prefer these two compared to their beef soup noodles. It just has a stronger flavor profile that suits my taste buds more. As for the appetizers, skip the chicken wings. It was $8 for 4 tiny pieces and It's just not worth it. The Teppan Squid and their BBQ pork belly were both AMAZING. It is really strong and flavorful so I would only recommend them if you like strong bold flavors with a bit of spicy kick. Overall, this time I really enjoyed my meal and we got 2 free noodle dishes! I do think the prices are reasonable for the location they are in. They also still charge 2.4% for using your credit card which is quite disappointing.

The noodles were overcooked (I usually like soft noodles) but this was like mush together kind of soft. I brought it up to the waitress when she asked how everything is... told her the noodles were made a tad too soft and she said it's because I ordered the thin noodles. I order the exact same thing at their location and never once has a problem.

Service was very friendly and phenomenal. We ordered 2 of their Kalguksu Combo's which came with a choice of meat, rice, side dishes, kimchi, and a bowl of hand pulled noodles. We went with their jaeyuk and bossam. We also ordered their mandu since we heard good things about it. I LOVED their kimchi. It was so flavorful and fresh. The side dishes were just alright. Nothing too special. I didn't really like the Jaeyuk, the flavor is there but the meat just isn't tender. But I've never had tender Jaeyuk or Bulgolgi so maybe that is just how it is. The bossam on the other hand was really delicious, tender and soft. I highly recommend it. The kalguksu was great as well. The soup was hearty and the noodles themselves were so soft with a nice chew to it. The mandu was also really good. They were so large and plump and the wrapper was so thin. This place is amazing for the price! At about $23-24 for each combo, it comes with a ton of food. And their gigantic mandu was only $13.5 for 6. Their Kimchi and Kalguksu was definitely the highlight for me and is comparable to the ones I've had in Seoul. I would definitely come back again. Also if paying by cash, it's 10% off.

The broth was not as flavourful as other places I've been to. Overall a decent fill but a bit priceyread more
