Great food, fast and awesome service. Most items are reasonably priced. The food was very comforting and delicious. Cash or e-transfer only so come prepared! Love love love this spot :) read more

I visited on a Friday night at 6:20 PM, and there were plenty of tables available. I had been debating whether to try this restaurant for a while, and while I'm glad I did, I'll still be going to my favourite Vietnamese spot down the street, Anh Dao. I ordered the bun bo hue, pho, and spring rolls. The bun bo hue tasted more like a spicy pho broth, and the pho reminded me of the broth at the Michelin recommended restaurant on Ossington. Overall, the bun bo hue and spring rolls were just okay, nothing special. The pho was good if you're looking for something simple. They also put a large piece of beef tendon in the pho, which I loved! One thing I didn't like was that the owner seemed to be rushing us to order, which felt a bit off putting. I'd come back for the pho and spring rolls, but I'm not sure about the other dishes. read more

This place is always clean, and the food always arrives fast. The staff are very friendly, and the quality of the food has al ways been consistent. This really is soul food when you're feeling sick. My one quarrel with this place is the extremely small wide of their "large soup bowls" this is just terrible. I wish they would just go back to a regular large bowl of soup. This is the smallest "large" pho soup size I've had just about anywhere I've been. Honestly amazing place, but the portion of the soup really really irks me. Also the fried spring rolls are a must try! Incredible every single time. read more

It was my first time in years dining at Pho Hung and food is exactly as I remembered and still delicious! I had my usual vermicelli bowl with grilled chicken, veggies and crispy spring roll. They have large and regular size and I got regular which was still filling. Also had their famous fried chicken wings which are fantastic! Highly recommend! The owner said it's a secret recipe they actually got from Buffalo NY. Ambience is always warm and I forgot this Spadina location has an extension that used to be their patio. Fast service and it was nice to see the owner who is usually there. And thankfully it wasn't packed when we got there on a Saturday around 1pm. This restaurant is still a family favourite! read more

Good location on Chinatown, but food wise it isn't special to the point where it can worth a trip. When I'm close by and craving Pho then I would stop and enjoy a bowl. Don't get me wrong the Pho is good, just wasn't spectacular. read more

Fast, delicious, and clean. Compared to some of the neighboring pho places on the street, I feel like this is the cleanest. That makes it more inviting and it's become a default when we want pho around the area and don't want to search. There's public parking around the area but on a busy day Spadina street parking and nearby municipal parking can be tricky. Service is fast. Not a lot more to say than that... They get the job done. They have an extensive menu. The bun bo hue and other dishes we've had here have all been good. read more

One of the most affordable pho in Toronto. I always live for their broth. It is very umami and a rich taste to it. Their portions are generous with a good amount of meat. The environment is like any other Asian restaurant. You are there for the food taste and not really for the atmosphere. The service was super quick. Within minutes of ordering, the food came right out. We absolutely recommend getting the 3 layer ice drink for the summer. It's the perfect dessert in a cup! read more

Came here during my work break and was glad the service here was quick because 3 of my coworker's orders came out within 10 minutes. Mine, on the other hand, took a bit longer which was fine because I eat fast. The soup was packed with lots of flavour and it was not bland at all. It came with a good amount of bean sprouts, mint and cilantro. Good portion, good amount of meat, I was full at the end of it and still had a bit of soup left. My coworkers got the grilled pork with egg quiche and rice and all 3 of them enjoyed their meal. read more

Pho Hung - Bun bo hue - Vietnamese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Pho Hung has been a fixture in downtown Chinatown for decades now and their tentacles of influence go deep and wide around the area with connections throughout the Viet restaurant community in the area. For example when I heard local chit chat about a new pho joint on College St (Pho Hanoi) their aim was to beat Pho Hung at their own game and steal business from them. You know you're good when you've got a target on your back. It's typical VN food here, nothing that stands out, although I did order a memorable dish once years ago which was the mint beef wraps. It's a DIY deal with the wraps in a funky steam container to keep them moist. Very cool. Their drinks are awesome, so no need to order a boring can of Coke. You can get a delicious lime drink for $3 instead so don't be a chump. There's also a big veggie section for your vegan buddies and the veg rolls that come with the Bun are fantastic (see my picture). Long live Pho Hung and good to see pops still hanging out and acting like a Wal Mart greeter at the door. Hope this never ends as it's a part of Toronto that I love. read more

I'm not a pho person, but the wonton soup was *delicious.* the broth was SO flavorful, with just a touch of heat

What we had: PHỞ HƯNG ĐẶC BIỆT: Hung's Special Beef Rice Noodle Soup (Beef broth), Rare Beef, Well Done Lean Brisket, Tendon, Tripe, Beef Balls (small) $12 GỎI CUỐN: Fresh Salad Rolls with Shrimp (regular) $7 Taste: 4/5 The pho was pretty filling, with a good variety of beef.

Pho Hung has been one of my GoTo places for Vietnamese cafeteria style dining in Toronto for 25 years. My favourite dishes centre on vermicelli plates or pho with either tofu or chicken. I've never had a mediocre experience here - the food is consistently good, served quickly. read more

Sticker shocker! Pho has traditionally been a massive bowl of soup with a cornucopia of noodles and toppings. I was extremely disappointed by the larger pho. In fact, they should call it a medium for $15. Perhaps. $20 for a large may not be what they want - who knows. I just know I was extremely disappointed with their pho portions. The rare beef is silky smooth and delicious. The pho itself is - just - ok. The broth is flavourful. Unfortunately, their serving size is a fraction of what one would expect from a pho restaurant. read more

Best pho ever. Soup is balanced and clear/ strained. Noodles are made from fresh (not rehydrated dry) noodles and there is a nice variety of beef. The fried rice is on point - moist, but not greasy. Don't know how they get the eggs into the little bits that they do. Staff are friendly and we love how open and light-filled the dining area is. read more

Good food and service! I was surprised you have order pho with all the meats (vs. only rare beef). It's also more expensive than I expected. The vermecelli was good though! The spring roll is very crispy and a good portion size. The servers are friendly. The only downside is there is a step to get into the restaurant, so not the most accessible if you have a stroller or wheelchair. read more

At the time of writing, this place definitely deserves more than the 3.2 stars it is getting on Yelp. Pho Hung offers a reasonably priced menu that is full of abundant + authentic Vietnamese food options. If you would like to have fast, delicious, and good value of pho, Pho Hung is your choice. Let's face it, Toronto has a lot of Vietnamese pho places, so many that sometimes you just don't know which area to go / which one to choose. You want authentic ones while not being ripped off just because it is soothing to have a bowl of good + hot noodles after a long day/week/night. Pho Hung offers just that! I am actually so happy to have their pho, so consistently as expected. I know what to expect every time. I know how much to pay every time. I know they are fast so I won't be late for whatever next I am doing. One thing I gotta be honest, they are not good with customized orders: I asked for Bun Bo Hue with pho noodles instead of the usual thicker noodles that comes with, they missed it. But the Bun Bo Hue tasted so good that it did not matter. I will come back for the $12 regular sized Bun Ho Hue even if they miss the customization because it is that good :) read more

we got 4 bowls of pho and a smoothie for $56 plus taxes, plus $9 tips automaticly added to the billed when I asked. so came to $72 something, we are a huge fans of pho and the broth, it was definitely not the best pho, broth you can get it from a can broth, noodles was chew, we also ordered a durian smoothie, let me tell you it was the worse $9 smothie we ever had, pretty much ice and water combine with sugar. We ended up throwing it away after changing it in a to go cup. Definitely food standard has gone down dramatically here at Pho Hung spadina location, we will not be back. read more

There's a reason why they have Pho Hung around for so long in Toronto: good, consistent, flavourful food. They aren't the best in city but they sure satisfy your Viet cravings. Get the pho but also try their various other noodle soups, vermicelli bowls, and other specialties! Come here for just the food, not the service or "ambiance". read more

About average pho place. probably closer to 3.5 stars. Would recommend if you have a pho craving and are in the area but not my first choice otherwise. to start off, they have socially distanced tables, staff are very helpful and nice. Service was good rather it was refilling water or answering questions. However, it is cash only and if you don't have, you just have to use the ATM which is pretty inconvenient esp considering there's still covid restrictions. Food is decent, not much to say about it, it's just pho. I got the large one and got all rare beef. It was pretty standard and I enjoyed it but it was a bit pricey ($14) compare to other meals in the area. Is a nice place if you're in the area and craving pho but not my first choice for food overall. read more

I used to come here often as a kid and I find that the service has really gone down a lot since then. I came here on a Thursday evening with a friend. It wasn't busy so we were able to be seated right away. The tables are way too close to each other. I'm of small stature and still, I didn't think I could fit at the table we were originally seated at since there was no room to move the chair back an inch. Fortunately we were reseated elsewhere, however later on, a group was seated at the table beside us and they were so close, they easily probably breathe on me if they wanted. The food was pretty average and not as amazing as I remember it being as a kid. The portion was small for a relatively high price. The service was awful. We ordered dessert and they asked if we wanted it prepared later, which we agreed. After our main course, we literally waited half an hour for dessert. I asked one of the waiters initially to which he responded, "if we are not sold out, it will come, be patient." 15 minutes later, we were still waiting and the waiter didn't even bother checking with the kitchen. I suppose some may find it nice they'll let you chill there forever after your meal is clearly done. I then asked another waitress who had a panicked look on her face when she realized we were still waiting for dessert. It was then made (we could hear the blender crushing the ice) and arrived in 5 mins after that without any apology. read more

Got the House special pho with satay. The satay is a sauce served on the side and I highly recommend it, it adds a great kick to the soup. I will warn though that it is quite spicy. I got the regular size and I was surprised at how little noodles were in the dish, I definitely wish I got the large size instead. I ultimately had to add a side of noodles because it wasn't enough food even though I wasn't even *that* hungry. Overall the pho was decent, not the best I've had but also not the worst. Overall I'd give it a 7.5/10, but I'm docking points for the fact that the serving was quite small and they are cash only which is kind of inconvenient. read more

I will start saying: HUGE PORTIONS and GOOD PRICE! Convinced you already? Great! But keep reading! The place is very simple, regular clean, the service is kinda bad (that's the missing star in my review). But the worth of going to this spot is that you will get very big portions (I mean it, the plates that are supposed to be for one person feeds two people easily!). And even better if you compare the portions to the price, it's cheap! The quality of the food is surprisingly (because of the price) great, it's very fresh. They seem to make everything by order. I do recommend! :) read more

Pho Hung has been a staple in the Toronto Chinatown community for of course their pho and Vietnamese classics. I have heard many stories about this place of its existence since my parents came to Toronto in the late 1980s! Of course in my last visit, I ordered the one thing they are known for: pho! The broth had a lot of flavour and was clear (not an easy thing for many pho restaurants to achieve). The temperature of the broth was perfect to delicately poach the rare beef slices when it comes straight to your table. It's the perfect bowl of pho if you're looking to combat the chilly weather in Toronto. In addition to pho, my friend and I split an order of their Fried Spring Rolls. The spring rolls were delicious. The filling was generous for the price we paid (2 rolls for $5.00) and it was fried to a nice crisp without them being too greasy to consume. The service was great. I don't know why many people bash their service as the servers are quite friendly. Their English is passable and it takes a little patience for them to understand what you want. Also, this place is CASH only, so be sure to bring some bills unless you want to pay for the ATM charges in their machine downstairs. Overall, I was quite pleased with my visit and I can't wait to be back again! read more

This is the only pho place I've been to in Toronto but it's so great that I always come back to the same location. The staff is friendly, food is delicious and a good price for huge portions, and the restaurant is at a great spot on spadina avenue. One thing I hope to see changed is the chop sticks being placed out in the open on the tables. Anyone can touch or dirty the chopsticks which can really get future customers sick. We recently had the following: 1. Grilled shrimp with spring roll, vermicelli and vegetables 8/10: the spring role was crispy, and flavourfuland it paired nicely with the sweet and salt sauce on the side. 2. Hot beef and pork vermicelli soup 8/10: this was also a great dish, the spice level was high but enjoyable for me (I don't usually eat spicy foods). read more

First and foremost, the mango smoothie is out of this world. I got the regular size, and the serving is massiveee. I felt both thrilled and shooked. It tasted amazing too! Food: I had pho and spring rolls, and they tasted just like pho and spring rolls, which meant they were delicious! because pho is just fantastic in general. My friend noted that they used to be better in terms of flavour, but I thought it was still delicious. Pricing is reasonable in my perspective, much more reasonable than at other pho restaurants out there. Overall, will definitely come back.  The only disadvantage is that they only take cash, so pack cash if you want to come! read more

Craving great vale of Vietnamese cuisine in the place, we totally three people, get actually quite a lot, Deep-fried Chicken Wing with Fish Sauce: Really rich in flavour, dish is served alongside coconut sticky rice, which I really enjoy. Mango & Shrimp Salad: The mango and shrimp salad offers a delightful contrast of flavors and textures. While the shrimp might be petite, the salad itself is refreshingly vibrant. Fine Rice Vermicelli with Grilled Pork and Grilled Chicken with Grilled Shrimp on Sugar Cane: love this so much , transform my perception of "cold rolls"!! Freshness is the key to this dish's success. The hot and savory grilled pork and chicken, when combined with crisp vegetables and rice vermicelli, yum!! Rare Beef with Well-Done Flank and Beef Balls Rice Noodle Soup: Delve into the comforting flavors of a traditional dish. The rich and heartwarming broth! Special Vermicelli: This dish is another personal favorite. It features a delightful medley of beef, pork, deep-fried pork spring rolls, and grilled shrimp on sugar cane.

Bun Rieu was delicious. We had a hitlist while touristing in Toronto, one was to try the plentiful of Viet places with Bun Rieu as an offering. Pho Hung fit the bill. It's almost historic (it's old...) looking, with 2 dining spaces, one looks to be an added extension; lots of regulars, and the aroma of beef broth seeping out the door. AND we were in desperate need of something warm! Thunderstorm came in and decided to stay... ugh. We order spring rolls, a large bowl of the infamously #1 (brisket, beef ball, tripes) and 2 Bun Rieu, with tons of goodies such as pigs' feet, viet ham, pigs' blood in a yummy crab paste soup. It's not for everyone but definitely for a foodie willing to explore! #1 was OK according to my friend but nothing NYC couldn't offer! The spring rolls were just OK, not as crispy as we're used to. We did get 2 Salted Plums soda!! That was refreshing! As for the Bun Rieu, the broth was robust and very fragrant; and it just warms our belly and made our soggy night a little less gross... a little more enjoyable! read more

This spot has been around forever it seems. I like to call it the McDonalds of Vietnamese food. It's fast, flavourful and filling. A book filled with a large variety of Vietnamese comfort food can make your head spin for choosing but you'll find something. After you do, you often find you have a choice of size. Have to say, the large version of a pho soup bowl is gigantic but if it's winter you'll be happy. It's not a place people seem to linger for very long. Much like everyone else says. It definitely has that vibe. It's not the cleanest or best place but they do their thing really well and really fast. read more

Pho Hung is one of my favourite Vietnamese restaurants. Granted that it is usually busy and line ups are unavoidable at times, but this is a sure sign that the food at this place is good, right?! I ordered Hung's large bowl of special Beef Rice Noodle Soup with both rare and well done beef tendons and tripe ($9). And indeed, the bowl fits its size description on the menu! The soup is delicious, and there are enough meat and veggies that many restaurants tend to chintz out on. The service is fast so my stomach is a happy customer when the food is planted in front of me !!!! read more

Yuk for the food and yuk for the service... so.. Yuk yuk! Ordered 3 noodles, meat was all super fatty and had so much tendon in it that it wasn't even edible.

What service... gotta ask someone to come help you as if you were bothering them.

Patience is key, let's start there. I've been here a few times and i've brought friends, boyfriends and ex boyfriends and they hardly had any complaints. Food is great. Customer service is decent (with the fact that alot of the servers don't speak english/hardly know alot of english. This is where i say you need to have patience. Prices are cheap and the food comes out of the kitchen fairly quickly. Get ready to write down your order on a piece of paper (they wont give you a whole run down of the procedure). CASH ONLY - you better keep some on hand before you go or you can visit the ATM downstairs. I wouldn't fully knock this place until you try it! PATIENCE IS KEY - and having an understanding that there is abit of a language barrier which can affect the customer service experience. All and all, i'd recommend you try this place out! *For reference, my vermicelli noodle dish seen in the photo (first bowl or the one on the left) is a size small. They do have an option of SMALL and LARGE dishes.* read more

I had high expectations for Pho Hung seeing how packed it is everytime I walked by. So I got the XL pho dac biet and I found that the broth wasn't as flavourful with a strong anise flavour as other pho places. The XL bowl was very filling but the meal wasn't as hearty as I would have liked. There is also a good portion of meat. I probably won't return because there are better Vietnamese restaurants in walking distance. Though worth noting that efficiency here is pretty top notch, with the hustle and bustle, food comes out within 5-10 minutes which is good. read more
