The food was amazing as expected and so was the service. The service was fast and very helpful. But honestly I been going there for the last few days and one thing, a person has truly brought colour to this place. A girl so beautiful you can mistake her for a angel she looks so heavenly and sweet, I think she the real reason I go back everyday, she always there sitting in the corner in her own little world it's so adorable especially those small little smiles of hers . I seen her make drinks so she definitely a worker there, she makes that place look so lively it's truly blows me away that a girl like that exists. A girl so rich in her outfits and clearly a woman with wonderful taste in food. If I come back and she there I could eat for hours, she is so memorizing to the eye, idk how I can describe it. I recall her saying her name was Alice. Such a beautiful angel in a place so close to heaven this place is a dream,10/10 recommendation

When we were there the garage gate didn't accept our ticket (broken) so you can just go out from an open gate. It wasn't busy on a Sunday night and they also have weekend specials. So perhaps they catered to mostly a weekday lunch crowd. We had a ton of questions about the menu like what's "young eggs" apparently not quail eggs but young chicken eggs that you can add onto your pho? Cool we added it to try. They also don't give us tea until the meals are served / when we asked. They also missed one of our pho orders so my SO was just waiting for a while and we had to flag down the server to follow up on the missing rib pho. You would think a sizzling plate would take longer to come out compare to the pho. I think they forgot it. We ordered banh cuon to start and share. It kinda stuck together and easily tore when we tried share it. Though it was definitely delicious and the cold cuts and meat patties are good. I just wish there were more rice rolls compare to the sides. I had the brothless pho and I love that they still had the broth on the side for me to enjoy. Others at the able also liked their chicken pho and the "Dodging" sizzling beef steak plate, though they described it to be closer to a thinly sliced teriyaki than actual sizzling strips of steak on a plate. It looked like the same meat I got on my brothless pho with beef. Portions are good, food is tasty and the space is really clean and modern. Overall wouldn't mind repeating but service is a bit clunky. Who wants to wait for their dish for 10-15mins while everyone at the table has theirs?

We just finished shopping at IKEA and wanted something for lunch. This place was nearby and well…read morerated on Yelp, so we gave it a try. First off, this place is decorated nicer than most pho places I go to, so I give it extra credit for that. We tried two similar pho bowls, and they came out quickly. Broth is quite good, noodles weren't overcooked (which can happens sometimes), and the toppings generous. Ordering a L or XL bowl and sharing is a much better than deal than ordering separately. Service is fast and efficient. Note, they only take cash/debit only. Overall, I was happy with our meal. Good pho, and reasonable prices when you share bowls with family.

I will say that the server was so kind and when she heard we were watching our salt intake, she offered to make our broth less salty. They were still tasty but less salty. We were so pleased! The beef pho has a good portion of meat and there was lots of seafood in the tom yum soup. The large spring rolls had many rolls! Fresh and delicious! I'd come again for sure as not many places have a good tom yum soup

It was my family's first time trying Taste of Vietnam and learning about this restaurant which had…read morebeen open for over a year or so. We walked in and were greeted by a friendly few staff members who showed us to our table. The decor inside was modern, it was clean and the ambiance was great. As soon as we sat down we were brought hot drinks of our choice to warm us up. It took a while before we settled on our meal choices after much discussion. We have some vegetarians and some non-vegetarians in our family so it was nice to see that vegetarians could be accommodated here. All of the meals turned out to be very tasty from our appetizers to our mains. Spring Rolls** were crispy, tasty and served with a sweet-spicy sauce. These were the outstanding showstoppers of the entire meal or at least a few of us agreed that they were our favourite choice. Vegetarian Cold Rolls (small) were crunchy, refreshing and served with a peanut sauce with roasted peanuts on top. I was told that my homemade version of vegetarian cold rolls was even better than the restaurant version since I include more tofu but this restaurant version came in a close second place. Stir-fried Vegetables with Tofu and Steamed Rice was very super flavourful, as was the veggie soup broth. The main vegetarian dish had a bit of kick to it, lots of black pepper, and a tangy spicy taste which was almost too spicy for one family member's simple palate. Nothing a bowl full of rice couldn't fix. What would make it a 5 star rating would be if they had included a bit more tofu, otherwise it was a very good dish. Grilled Pork Chop with Rice was wonderfully delicious. The veggies made the dish eye catching. The flavour packed broth was delightful. It was served with a drizzle of oil of green onions which when combined with freshly steamed rice make the perfect trifecta. Stir-Fry Rice Noodles with Seafood (which had squid, fish balls, shrimp and possibly scallops) was very well received by one hungry man. He didn't mind that the vegetarians had more veggies on their plates than him. Stir-Fry Rice Noodles* with Vegetables had a great colourful presentation and tasted very good, according to another. Once again their only other comment about the dish was that they wished there was more tofu in it. What would make it a 5 star rating would be if they had included a bit more tofu, otherwise it was also a good dish. The staff were more than accommodating to the requests of grandparents who needed to relocate tables to stay warm during this cold winter season. My family very much appreciated our visit to this restaurant. Fantastic hospitality. Great service and friendly personable staff.

The cold cut one had an interesting butter flavour. My favourite might have been the pork. I personally thought the meats were a bit on the salty side and might have liked it more with toned down seasoning. But I'm also the type who doesn't really add salt to things. The spicy option is to add a bunch of red chilies. I asked for it on the side which turned out to be a good decision. If you happen to eat the seeds or something it can be REALLY spicy. Service wise, I was helped by an older Asian gentleman who was very nice. In terms of the bahn mi, I loved that it was toasted, but in the end I think I have had better bahn mi elsewhere in the City. Still a good option though if you are in the area.

Lots of greenery and bamboo decorations which made the ambience very enjoyable for dining. Don't be fooled by the industrial appearance of the outside!

The pho was really good, but the grilled pork was the standout for me -- it had that authentic smoky charcoal flavor that made it taste amazing. The meat was flavorful, slightly crispy on the edges, and cooked perfectly. Service was pretty average, but honestly that's kind of expected at a lot of Vietnamese restaurants. The food came out quickly and the atmosphere was casual and comfortable. Overall, I'd definitely come back again for the grilled pork alone.

We ordered their most popular beef rib pho. In terms of meat, I don't know if we got the scraps, but we had a huge additional bowl with a bone of tendon. I love tendon. While the meat on the ribs are a bit more skimp than other places I've had maybe because it's whatever they have left. But I didn't mind since they added ample amount of tendon! You either love it or hate it, but I love tendon and we ordered this specifically because they mentioned they will add a bone of tendon. Not sure if it's in all bowls or just what they had left. It was certainly worth the money with the offer. While we picked and cut away all the tender tendon pieces, there are some connective tendon pieces that are still bit stiff, I mean I try to pressure cook it bit more later along with my ingredients when I got home to get the adjoining tendons between the bones and made another collagen rich soup / broth. We also ordered a broken rice dish with chicken and it was good too. We had a lot of leftovers and the next day the soup broth did thicken up indicating a good amount of bone broth. Overall service was great and they even had the FIFA game playing on the screen. Definitely a spot we'll add to our rotation.

But even during prime time dinner, we'll always be able to get seats. The best bang for the buck has to be their ribs pho! For $22~, it can easily feed two! We felt bad to just order a dish to share between us two so we ordered another dishe and take out the rest. However, we did notice a nearby table did exactly that and I guess the staff didn't mind at all. If you scroll and look at my recent photos of the rib pho dish, they've chopped the rib up into smaller pieces so it's easier to eat and they also provide scissors so you can cut through the meat and take out. We couldn't finish it so we packed it home and air fry the ribs for more texture. We especially like the clear vermicelli from their egg and clear noodle section. The broth is more elevated from the standard pho, with more herbs. Definitely recommend #216 we ordered with chicken clear noodles (scroll right to see the most recent video).

I always go for their well done flank rice noodle thai soup. The broth is so comforting especially for the cold days we're having now. The level of spice is not that spicy enough for me so, I usually end up adding the spicy chili condiments together with those crunchy bean sprouts, cilantro, and lime. Hubby loves his rice so he got the two meat platter grilled porkchop and grilled beef both are tasty. I believe they just opened this location September of this year, because we usually go to their sheppard ave west location. The inside of the store is very clean and they repainted and redecorated it. Before Pho Duong this used to be a Filipino dine in restaurant with prepared filipino dishes. As always, the staff here are all friendly and accomodating. The service is always fast. They only accept debit or cash, and if you pay cash there is 8% discount.
