    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.

    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.

    My wife and I just recently had our first born daughter, and unfortunately due to the health…read moremeasures in place we couldnt really have any family over to help us out. So not only were we stressing about our first born, but personally I was also very stressed for my wife as I wanted to make sure she had a good recovery (as per traditional Cantonese ways). I can make some soups myself, but I just couldnt imagine being able to find the time. When we found Let's Soup we were elated as this was exactly what we were looking for in the GTA - A traditional Asian (Chinese) herbal soup place! Lets Soup is located at the corner of Yonge and 16th avenue on the South East corner at the base of the condo building. This is a very small store that is strictly for take out. When we first came to order it took about 15 minutes to prepare. We ended up ordering via messages on their Instagram account and was never disappointed with their service. Honestly I literally can not think of any other place that exists in the GTA (at least when we were looking) that offered this kind of service - Outside of hiring a "lai ma" to come and cook and cook for us. This was the next best thing and it was an absolute god send. I dont deny though, everyones taste is different, raised differently and of course different experiences with food and cooking. Unfortunately, I dont think there is any restaurant out there that can truely replace a parents cooking thats made with love - But Lets Soup is an extremely close second. My wife and I purchased some soup to try them out, and was happy enough that we decided to get the full "post partum recovery" set (pre paid for a set number of soups at a slight discount) So we had the chance to try many of their soups. Serving size was more then enough for 2 adults or one very hungy wife that just gave birth :) This was absolutely perfect for us, and we still went back even after we had the package to pick up more soups. I would absolutely not hesitate to recommend this place, as honestly what other places can compare? This is almost a one of a kind service in the GTA as far as I am aware On top of all this, I had nothing but excellent service every time I went. They were always friendly and happy, offered lots of advice for having a first child and were just over all awesome. I hope they can continue to improve and grow. Keep up the good work!

    Wonderfulllll. A dream come true for a Chinese soup lover like me. It's not supposed to be treated…read moreas a full meal though like Korean soups, but my bowl of rice and I do. Most places only have those egg drop soups to buy (at least in rhill), which I'm not a big fan of. One of my favourites in general is the pork bone watercress soup and if you've ever handled watercress, you'd know it is a pain to clean so if I'm lazy, I'll buy that here. Great soups! I've been ordering a couple of times already and the soups are quite consistent. Such a cute mom n pop shop - they even cut their carrots into flowers! They got the Chinese mom approval from my mom if that helps. You also get fortune cookies! Side note: order ahead because you don't want to or even have an opportunity to park in this plaza while you wait and might have to go all the way around the first time since there's limited space (idk who planned this area but we have beef now).

    (Skip to the bottom 2 paragraphs for the food review. I got carried away with the experience…read moreleading up to eating lol.) It just so happened I was driving past this area and I was hungry. The yelp and google fam did me right by giving this place a great review. I honestly didn't read any reviews, I just saw the 5 star and I was so pleasantly surprised to see that this place is a Korean owned mom and pop shop with the NICEST owners. Their kitchen caught my eye as I stood at the front counter. It displayed well used traditional korean cookware with a large wok as a center piece. This place isn't fancy but it has an adorable quaint charm to it. I didn't know what to order so I asked for their recommendation. The pop of the shop is so nice and explained everything on the menu to me with an understandable pleasant Korean accent. He was especially proud of their fishball soup that comes with the meal and he had good reason to be! After ordering in person he allowed me to wait at my car as he brought the meal when it was ready. It was only about 5 mins wait he came out and I met him half way saying one of 2 Korean phrases I know "!" and he was so happy as we bowed to each other after the exchange. It put a big smile on my face too lol. I decided on spicy chicken cup bap and omg when I got home I was so pleasantly surprised by the smells and flavors. I noticed I couldn't smell the food on the car ride home but when I opened up the package and spread out the spoils on my counter all the delicious aromas invaded my nose. The soup had the sharpest and alluring smell. It's a clear soup that reminded me of the Chinese soups I grew up consuming after a meal and it made my mouth water. I'm surprised I restrained myself long enough to have even taken a photo for this review. For $11 you get a nice portion of spicy gochujang chicken with arugula salad, tomatoes, japchae and rice at the bottom which was necessary to soak up the chicken's spicy sweet sauce! I was actually so happy eating it. The rice was cooked perfectly. The main dish paired with the pickled veggies and soothing fishball soup is perfect! So many different flavors, all very intense and all complimenting each other. You just kind of keeping going around eating main, soup, pickled veggies, smiling, and repeating. So much love and care was put into this meal, you really can't help but smile and appreciate it. TIP: You can order by phone. Their online menu is limited so I'd recommend calling! You can also order days ahead and call and order after closing!

    This place is a nice hidden cozy mom and pop style Korean shop, they do serve regular sandwiches…read morebut the real star of the show is the cupbap which which runs you around 11$-13$. Overall great flavor and a nice variety of food served!

Having never been here before, the first thing I noticed was the small market area selling Thai foods, which I felt was nice. If I actually lived in the area, I would consider buying some of the products. The space looks quite nice, and definitely had Thai accents to it. We were seated quickly. As a group of friends having not seen each other for a long time, our server was very patient with us. We were so busy talking, she had to come by 3 times to check if we were ready to order. Each time she came by she smiled, saw that we were busy catching up, and never pressured us to place an order until we were ready. I ended up trying the Khao Soi, Grilled Skewer Platter, Som Tum Papaya Salad, and the Pineapple Fried Rice. I didn't take as my notes as I normally would when eating, but I distinctly remember that every since dish was good - prepared properly and great flavour. As noted, the server was friendly and attentive, and never got the impression we were under a time limit despite being there well over 2 hours. Overall, a very good meal. I'd definitely considering returning if back in the area.

    I find the food stall named Soup to Go in the Sheraton Parkway food court so aptly and inaptly…read morenamed. On one end, it sounds like a run of the mill fast food joint (i.e. In and Out, Coffe Time), but the name doesn't do its Chinese name justice (Chinese name: Wellness Studio). On the other hand, the name does a great job of communicating the nature of its business: takeout and take home home style soup and meal. Regardless if you like their name or not, I think it's a good spot for this type of business. They manage to capture some of the passerbys and nearby white collar workers. On the other hand, it's not a high traffic mall, so the take home meals are a great way of increasing total customer spending. I'm basing this review purely on a takeout lunch of a steamed dried shrimp and preserve sausage and meat rice in lotus leaf. They really do a good job of balancing health and taste. I'm always wary of food that is healthy or healthier, but they end up tasting like cardboard. No such issue here. The rice on the surface looked kind of small. But they really didn't stinch on the preserved sausage and meat. The rice they used was the nice soft jasmine rice. They also purposely mixed in some quinoa. I forgot to mention that the rice also had a decent amount of dried scallop as well. Here are a few suggestions for improvement: A little bit less preserved meat and sausage, while adding more dried shrimp would be nice. The dried mushroom and shrimp can be a bit more aromatic and the lotus leaf flavour transfer can for sure be amped up. The lunch does come with home style boiled Chinese soup (or broth) and a herbal drink. Both of these were excellent. The items at Soup to Go are not cheap. The lunch with tax was just under $20. It is cliche, but you get what you pay for. Feel like drinking soup, but you don't know what is the soup of the day? You can check out their monthly schedule of soups!
