Truly a favorite spot for Vietnamese food. So good, even our parents have been long-term customers for decades. Their phở always hits the spot with its clear liquid gold for broth, a nice amount of noodles, and the assortment of beef meats. We also tried the Bun Bo Hue for the first time here and were surprised by how good it was! It was a good amount of spicy, noodles had great chew, lots and lots of meat, and tasted just like mom's cooking. read more

A retro vibe Pho in the wall joint that if the right influencers discovered might cause a lineup. Very flavourful broth for the Pho! Service was super quick, and food was on my table before I could catch up on what was trending on Twitter. Place has mom and pop shop written all over it. There's a reason this place has been around for so long. read more

This place holds a special place in my heart. Used to come here with my family, my friends during high school. One of the last few places in my life where whenever I enter it looks exactly the same lol. I usually get the pho whenever I go here and it still taste the same never good or bad just the same...consistency . The worst experience I had here was back then Maybe a bit after highschool my friend and I came by here to grab a bite we ordered the com Tam with pork and the rice wasn't broken it was full grain and half my pork chop I kid you not was on his plate so we had a good laugh good times but that was a one off and by no mean am I bashing the place I get it stuff happens but makes a good story read more

Typical pho joint -- decor was standard. Service was great. The tripe, meat, meatball and tendons were all delicious. The noodles were amongst the better ones. The broth was very good and on the clearer side. I prefer mine with more flavor. Overall place was legit and will go back again! read more

Pho Con Bo - With everything! - Vietnamese Near Me - North York, Ontario

Met up with a few friends for lunch. I also come here for lunch sometimes as it close to my work. It was a cold day, so I decided to try my go to pho, beef flank. I thought it was ok, the broth is not as flavorful compared to my preferred Viet resto by my condo and also the meat was kind of fatty. I did come before, and I ordered the bun noodles. I did enjoy the noodles more than the pho.. good portion size, pork was juicy and spring roll was decent. I would come back for bun and not the pho. 3.5* read more

Pho Con Bo - Not bad, but broth not as flavourful than other places I've been to and flank was more fatty than I would like. - Vietnamese Near Me - North York, Ontario

This is a quaint low key under the radar pho joint tucked away in a strip mall of the Jane/Wilson area. I use to eat here a lot but stopped going as it's in the opposite side of town. Tonight I had a craving as it's my favourite pho place. Broth can be slightly oily on top but the taste is unique. I also like they they give you a lot of basil and also another green that I can never tell what it is. Seating is packed but worth it. We had traditional pho noodle special #48 which is an assortment of meat inside. Spring rolls were fried and great crispy. Avocado milkshake is great tasting with real fruit of course. This place doesn't disappoint. read more

From Florida, we came to Toronto for a reunion and were introduced to this noodle soup spot called Pho Con Bo, meaning the "Cow" Pho. It offers much more than Pho, the famous Vietnamese noodle soup here. I tried the Tendon Pho. Impressively good. My guest had the vermicelli with shrimp and grilled pork and loved it, too. read more

This is a good option for Viet food if you're in the area as it did not disappoint. We also went a bit adventurous and ordered their banh cuon (rice rolls) combo with deep-fried shrimp cake, sour ham and cha lua (the deli cold cut). The banh cuon here isn't my fav, but the shrimp cake and toppings are pretty good. We like the deep-fried fritter. The sour ham is well seasoned and... sour so it might not be for everyone's taste buds. I'm glad we tried it. Unique compared to other banh cuon options from other pho joints. For COVID precautions, they check for vaccine proof. However, if you care, they do have their utensils and sauces out for people to use, so they are not the most sanitary way to share. The tables are well spaced apart, and I like the plants they have hanging around the space. read more

Pho Con Bo Ratings: 4.3/5 Food: 4.75/5 - Came here for lunch with my boyfriend and his parents on a Friday afternoon. This is highly rated Pho place in the area, and I was really excited to try it out. We ordered a variety of items and shared! I would highly recommend this place to all Pho lovers out there. Please read the descriptions below for more details on all the items we got that day. - Fresh Shrimps Pork & Salad Rolls [GET]: A must get item whenever we go to a Vietnamese place. The large size comes with four rolls. Each is made with fresh jumbo shrimp, pork and vermicelli noodles. The ingredients are fresh and yummy. I was not a fan of their peanut sauce, tasted too watered down and sweet. I wished there were more peanut flavors and creamier. I would recommend eat it with some hot sauce instead or just by itself. - Steamed Glutinous Flour w/ Shrimp & Green Beans [GET]: My boyfriend's dad loved this appetizer. It is three big glutinous, mochi texture like dumplings packed with minced pork and shrimp fillings inside. The fillings were tasty and a bit mushy, but I was not a fan. The dough was too thick and doughy for me pairs was an already kind of mushy interior just didn't work out for me. - Mi Dac Biet [GET]: I was eyeing their special egg noodle with a variety of seafood and meats. I was really looking forward to it, but I realized I forgot to tell them that I want it without soup, but next time, I guess. The noodles are al dente, cooked just right. I like the variety of protein in it. There's shrimp, squid, and lots of meats. I like the broth as well, slightly sweet, but pairs well with the ingredients. Also, there's a shrimp cracker on the side, fried perfectly, crunchy and crispy. Literally perfection and remember to drip it in the broth to soften it up and soak up the broth. - Pho Dac Biet [GET]: Their house special combination pho with rare steak, well done flank, soft tendon, beef tripe, and beef balls with vermicelli soup. The meats are so tender and juicy, very easy to chew. Their broth was impressively good, not too sweet and packed with strong beef flavors. It tasted very authentic and light, definitely made in-house, definitely a good an underrated beef broth. Ambiance: 4/5 - This is low key, a hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese joint tucked away in a strip mall near Jane and Wilson area. The interior is a lot bigger, clean, and nicer than I thought based on its exterior. There's plenty of tables and seats available. The menu is also laminated and a large variety of options to choose from. It definitely looks like they tidy up the place a bit recently. Price: 4.25/5 - The prices here are fair and reasonable. My egg noodle soup with seafood and meat was $14.50, the pho dac biet my boyfriend got was $11 for a large, the springs are $11 for four rolls, and the flour dumplings are $12 before taxes. The portions are decent, and the food are delicious! Service: 4/5 - The staffs here are pretty friendly and nice. They were fast at taking orders and getting us tea as soon as we sat down. The food came out relatively fast, within 10 t o15 minutes after placed the order. They were very considerate and cut up the spring rolls so that we can share it. After the meal, you go to the front and pay at the cash register. BLUF: An authentic Vietnamese place that serves rich and flavorful beef noodle soups, unique and delicious noodles dishes, and appetizers. It's an above average Pho place, and I would recommend it to all the Pho lovers out here. Make sure to come earlier, since this place can get pretty packed during lunch hours. I got the mi dac biet (#52), and I highly recommend getting that with the soup on the side! read more

My partner and I were craving for some Vietnamese breakfast food on a sunday morning. Not the typical Pho or Banh Mi most places have. We found this hole-in- the-wall/gem in the west end. Atmosphere was as expected, some uncles smoking outside the place and an auntie on video call with speakers on max, a couple tables over. The surroundings made it feel very authentic. The service was good and straight forward. Maybe because my partner speaks Vietnamese. Food arrived in a decent amount of time. Pay at front counter, they accept cash and debit only. 8.5/10 100B. Beef Steak (Bo Ne) [Thin slice of beef steak with fried egg, onion slices, and pate on sizzling platter. Served with baguette.] A popular Viet street food breakfast, very hard to find in Toronto. The beef was tender and had a rich soy based sauce. Was perfectly seasoned and pate elevated the dish. Came with a sweet hot sauce and soy sauce on the side, didn't need it. Egg was over cooked and steak could have been pre-cut but overall delicious dish. 7/10 14. Banh Cuon Dac Biet [Steamed rice flour rolls filled with ground pork and wood ear. Served with Vietnamese sausage and vegetables(carrot, cucumber and beansprouts). Fish sauce for dipping or pour over. This special one also has a deep fried shrimp cake & sour ham(Nem Chua).] The rolls were soft and had good meaty flavour. Went well with the slightly sweet fish sauce and fried shallots. Good portion too. However, the rolls could have been thinner/smoother and more stuffing. Was good but I've had better downtown. Shrimp cake was standard. The Nem chua tasted fresh and not too sour. 8/10 10. Banh Beo & Banh Ich Tran [Steamed rice cakes in disc shape, topped with mung bean, green onion oil, and fried shallots. Rice flour dumpling stuffed with mung bean and pork. Poached and finished with green onion oil and shrimp powder on top. Fish sauce for dipping.] The banh beo was delightful and fun to eat. I could eat a dozen of these. Rice cake was soft and bouncy. The toppings compliment the dish very well. Was my first time trying banh it tran. Really enjoyed the texture, almost like a soft mochi. Would have liked it with more pork and less mung bean inside but still yummy. Cravings satisfied! Would come back to try their Com Tam, saw lots of customers ordering it. read more

I once had fond memories of this place before Covid times, unfortunately during a long time away of not visiting this local place it seems to have taken a slight dive in terms of quality. The pho now is just your run-of-the-mill bowl with everything you'd expect. The spring rolls were running with grease to the point where I had to wipe copious amounts off my fingers after eating a section. Service was also just very standard. The excitement I felt back about this place in the early days of post-covid have gone. It seemed like then they made a real effort to win back the patronage of the community but as of this review everything has just become stagnant. read more

I've been to my fair share of pho places and it's always nice to go to ones run by actual Vietnamese people. Pho Con Bo was good, not the best I've had but good. Nothing to write home about for decor but that's not what these kind of family run businesses are about. It was similar to most downlow pho places I've been to and it was clean so that was nice and the service was quick. Foodwise I enjoyed my meal. I ordered the medium pho with raw beef and beef balls and shared a pork rice roll with vietnamese sausage with a friend. To top it off, I got a mango milkshake. I really liked the clean broth of the pho. It was hot and flavoured, though more of the salty variety than the beefy flavour; still tasty. They gave me a ton of meatballs, more than I'm used to which was a nice surprise. The raw beef was already mostly cooked by the time it got to me and the slices were small so that was slightly disappointing. The meat was a bit tough for my liking. The noodles were also the dry variety which is fine but I think it was left cooking a tad too long. With this type of noodle, they need to be slightly al dente as they continue to cook in the hot broth but unfortunately mine was already getting a little too soft when I got it. The rice rolls and vietnamese sausage were good as well, nothing to complain about. I didn't eat it right away so it was a little cooler than I hoped, that was my fault though. The most disappointing part was the mango milkshake. I saw that they use real mangos which is great but the flavour didn't really shine through in the drink. I mostly tasted watered down condensed milk with a hint of mango. Either the mangos weren't ripe or sweet enough, or there was too much ice. The benefit was that it wasn't overly sweet and I could taste some condensed milk. I probably wouldn't order that again though. Overall, it's a decent pho place for the price but I wouldn't drive out of my way to come here. Good for a quick bite if you're in the area. read more

Pho Con Bo - Medium pho with rare beef and beef balls - Vietnamese Near Me - North York, Ontario

Authentic Vietnamese food. This is where we go when we want some Viet food closest to home.

This has been a place I've frequented for many years now. The reason I come back every time is because you can get huge portions of food for a good price. If you take a look at their menu they have a gigantic selection for Pho noodles. I always get the Pho here. I asked for a large bowl of Pho Tai Nam Bo Vien (Rare beef, well done flank, and beef balls rice noodle soup). If you happen to be extremely hungry, they have an XL size as well. My noodle bowl arrived with a plate of herbs (basil, long coriander, bean sprouts, and lime slices). The broth was light and flavourful, just the way Pho broths should be. Their broth is what draws me back each time. It is just perfect. They also don't skimp out on meat. What they do here is really great. I finished my bowl and was very full. Their menu is huge and I've yet to try their other great dishes. read more

The owner of Pho Con Bo is run by Vietnamese. This restaurant brought back some of my colleges memories. The family run business style, the way they served customers made you felt guests coming "home" for a visit. There is not a lot of vietnamese restaurant have steamed egg meatloaf (cha trung chay) on their menu, probably it is one of the many reason I kept returning. The other dish that I don't found at another similar Vietnamese restaurant is the fresh pork roll on rice paper. The roll balanced out on it own with the rice paper and fish sauce. Overall, the impression of the restaurant is clean, friendly service and inviting. Tables got filled up during lunch hours. Would recommend and return again for other dishes. read more

I'm happy they've extended their closing time. This place used to close around 10pm but now they close at midnight. Great for people who work late and just want something quick and inexpensive. Food is served quick but sometimes they can mess up a drink order. I usually order the fresh lemonade with ice and no salt. I find occasionally they will make it with salt. Overall, quick food and quick service. Good for late night cravings read more

This is my favourite pho restaurant in Toronto! I always come here and eat with my dad and my grandfather, and they would always insist on coming to this specific location for authentic, delicious Vietnamese food. It's also perfect for those with late-nigh munchies - they are open until 11PM most days! (12AM on Fridays and Saturdays) I usually order the rice platter, which comes with steamed egg, pork skin, daikon, side of soup and grilled pork. This costs around $7.50 and the quantity is plentiful! Their pho is also the best pho I've had - authentic pho soup should be savory, but not leave your mouth feeling dry. It should have a 'sweet' aftertaste to each sip and I find that the consistency of food quality here is always perfect. The downside to this restaurant is that they only accept cash. They can also get quite busy during lunch hours. read more

Food is good. Not a bad place The only downside is the staff is pretty rude. Food and price is reasonable, flavour is there. All the food on the menu is good. I would recommend this place if you don't mind bad service. read more

Well, they have new ownership nowadays, I guess cuz the previous owner got divorced with her husband, so he took over this one and she took Pho Tai Bac up north. That's what I heard anyway, but I'm no gossip... Anyway, not much has changed here. The menu is new and shiny, I think they prices went up a teensy bit, but I'm not sure. The food quality is exactly the same as far as I can tell, if not better. The staff are definitely nicer, and the owners at the cash are very friendly. Guess that new wife is doing him good! Not that I'm gossip or anything... Usually, people get pho here, but the bun bo hue here is the best. I usually get that. They also have good rice dishes, and they use actual broken rice, which you can only get at a few places here. I know this doesn't sound like a very enthusiastic review, but I guess it's such a local institution, everything's that needs to be said has already been said about it. It's just a really good Vietnamese restaurant, run by a Vietnamese man... Who recently got divorced. Not that I'm a gossip or anything. read more

So where should I start? The AMAZING food or that my friend is horrible with directions? Yes Hala, if you're reading this.. I'm talking about you. So, it's not ALL her fault.. This place is difficult to find with the horrible traffic during rush hour PLUS the fact that it's PRACTICALLY HIDDEN. Any way, that's besides the point.. The pho here is outstanding, let me tell you.. that broth.. I'm salivating right now just talking about it. I just don't know how to put it into words. Also, the pork and shrimp fresh rolls.. 10/10. Service, let's not get into detail. They did forget my fresh rolls at first.. had to remind them after I was almost half way through my soup. I would definitely visit again. read more

Pho Con Bo is a Vietnamese restaurant located in a plaza on the Southwest corner of Jane and Wilson. It's kind of hidden within the plaza but once you see the Blue Sky Supermarket, you are in the right area. Once you enter, it's your typical Vietnamese restaurant in terms of decor and set up. You write what you want from the menu onto an ordering slip and someone comes to pick up the ordering slip and when the food is ready, someone delivers the food to your table. i ordered a medium Pho Dac Biet ($6.75 plus tax) and a small order of cha gio which are deep fried spring rolls ($3.75 plus tax). The pho was pretty good, definitely above average and authentic Vietnamese pho. Noodles were cooked right, quality of meat wasn't too good but the broth was pretty good even though it was slightly heavy handed with the msg. The deep fried spring rolls were decent, good filling but the outside could have been slightly crispier. My rating is actually a 3.5 out of 5. The food is definitely above average and authentic Vietnamese food and the prices are really reasonable. In Toronto, there is a slew of Vietnamese restaurants that aren't too good but Pho Con Bo even though imo isn't one of the top Vietnamese restaurants, it's definitely better than most. read more

Me and my friend came and we were told to seat ourselves anywhere we'd like. Every table has an order sheet. Similar to many casual Vietnamese restaurants, there is minimal service. Food: the food arrived quickly and the portions were quite big for the price. The food tasted decent. Nothing stood out to me but it was good and prices are reasonable. We also ordered some drinks and they took forever to make our drinks. I saw the cashier making it at the front and they only have one blender. The drinks were okay. I think this is a solid Vietnamese restaurant in the area. I may return if I'm nearby again. read more

I've been coming here for years, literally grew up with this place and it's still the #1 pho restaurant in my books. And you know it's authentic when it's located in a sketchy plaza and the restaurant is blasting Vietnamese music. I always order their bun with grilled pork and spring rolls. But today I felt like pho. I ordered their pho with well done beef and beef tendons. The broth was flavourful, and had a good amount of beef and tendons. Their small is a good size for lunch and only costs around $5. Note* no customer service here. You write down your order and when you pay, you have to go up to the front. read more

Very limited parking in this dingy plaza...upon entering this place we were not greeted by anyone at all, the cashier didn't even bother saying a single word, Infact the entire time at this place the only word that was spoken to us by the cashier and waitress combined is $15.50.....there goes their tip and customer service, we decided to just seat ourselves where a table had menus on it, the waitress didn't give us tea and ordering slip til 10mins later....typically pho place that's very cheap like $7 a dish depending on what you order The whole entire time I didn't hear a single word from the waitress and she looked so pissed off, didn't break a smile but oh well Mediocre food, nothing special and honestly I've tasted better bun and com dishes elsewhere read more

Pho Con Bo - #105 - Vietnamese Near Me - North York, Ontario

I have to admit this is one of those Vietnamese restaurants that aren't up there for me. It's nothing to rave about. I would give it a 3.5/5. I used to come here all the time until I saw a roach and the waitress just killed it in front of me without addressing it or apologizing. So two years after that incident I decided to give it a shot again. Seems everything and everyone is the same. Same ladies working. This is a very busy fast and efficient location. They seat you, take your order and go on their merry way. When you're done they'll quickly clear your table. The food also is same old. Don't get me wrong, it's good and flavourful but because the broth is so good I have a feeling MSG or something is used. I still prefer my local pho restaurant over this one but it has improved a little since my original visit. read more

I went here with my parents for a late lunch recently. The place was pretty full for a weekday afternoon. My parents had #42 Pho Dac Biet (Special Pho, which contained rare beef, well done beef flank, brisket, soft tendons, tripe and meat balls). My mom had the small ($5.50) and my dad had the large ($7). My parents think this place has the best pho in the GTA. I am not a fan of pho, so I had the Beef Pad Thai ($7.50). I know, I know, it's just asking for trouble to order Thai food at a Vietnamese restaurant, but it actually was pretty good. It did not have that authentic Thai flavour, but it was very tasty. The noodles were nicely done (not too mushy or too dry) and the flavour was tangy and sweet. There was a lot of tamarind in the sauce. It had a nice spicy kick to it. They were very generous with the meat. Lots of tender slices of beef. There was also 3 large fried tofu puffs in the dish, along with onions, and some red and yellow peppers. The dish usually comes with bean sprouts but I asked for none. There was a small pile of iceberg lettuce on the side with a sprig of Vietnamese basil. Service is competent but not all that friendly. Do not expect any smiles here or any warm greetings. The pho bowls are really full to the brim. The waitress spilled some broth in my tea and promptly removed my cup and replaced it with another one. Service is speedy and they get the job done, but I would have liked it if they were a little nicer. Decor is minimal. Washrooms are not that clean. Lots of free parking. It's across the street from Sheridan Mall. It's in the same strip mall as Shopper's Drug Mart, TD Bank and Scotia Bank. read more

An authentic, simple and humble bowl of pho. This place reminds me of old days where you come in just to eat a good bowl of pho, nothing overcomplicated, nothing crazy fancy. The portion was very good for its price, I am surprised at the amount of beef they put in. The soup is delicious, noodles are well timed, beef is tasty. It can make any hungry man smile. If you are nearby, feeling hungry and cold, don't hesitate, come in and order up a bowl of pho without even looking at the menu, you will be happy very quickly. read more

Came here on a cold mid-November afternoon. Order the hue style beef noodle soup. The soup was good but not great. The soup tasted a bit plain for hue style beef noodle. From my experience, the soup should be richer in taste and needs a bit more kick on the spice. It was pretty tame. The beef is typical now in TO where most pho places uses only slice brisket. The rare pho shops still braised brisket in chunks. Thats the way it should be done. But nice touch on the blood pudding cake. Thats how do this street food in Vietnam. All and all, still a very good bowl of spicy beef noodle soup. 3 1/2 stars. read more
