Pho hung is one of my favourite pho places to go, it's cheap and their broth is flavourful and not bland. Service is also very quick and friendly. This is definitely a place I frequent whenever I want pho! read more

Pho Hung - Vietnamese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Dining on a budget? This is the place for you! Pho Hung has the best Vietnamese food in the Toronto. Pho Hung is the perfect cure no matter how hungry you are. Their broth is a flawless balance of salty, sweetness and richness, plus there is always a great amount of beef and noodles. If I am not in the mood for pho, I will often choose the Vermicelli and Salad Bowl with Shrimp and Chicken. This cold bowl is light but still hearty and the pieces of sugar cane are a nice touch. Don't let the "small" portion option and price fool you - there's nothing small about it. If you are feeling adventurous, I would also recommend the Avocado Smoothie. The washrooms are a little dingy and could use a more frequent clean but that is my only complaint. Don't forget Pho Hung is cash only but I swear no matter how much you order, it's under $20. read more

2.5 stars I heard about this place since it was listed as one of the best Vietnamese places in Toronto. I decided to bookmark the place since the price looked reasonable and got OK ratings. I got the pho with semi-cooked beef with beef meatballs. I thought the pho was OK and it's probably not the best pho in the world. I have experienced much more delicious pho at other places. My boyfriend got the vermicelli noodles and he said he enjoyed it. The service could HAVE BEEN a lot better tho. We were out-of-towners and we didn't know we had to got down what we wanted on the piece of paper. It took us awhile to flag down a waitress. The staff weren't friendly as well. It wasn't a great experience for us that day. read more

I have been eating at this place for more than half my life. We used to go to the one on Bloor until it became a condo and would venture to the Spadina one on the weekends. I looooooove this place, Tony and his family are awesome and always make me feel welcome. Usually get my rare beef pho, cold shrimp rolls, iced coffee and then take come more rolls and either a curry or a cold vermicelli dish for the next day's lunch. In the winter or when you feel a cold coming on it's the best comfort food on the planet read more

It was a cold and rainy evening so my boyfriend and I both agreed that nothing could beat a hot bowl of Vietnamese noodle soup in weather like this, so we headed to Pho Hung. Location: 5/5 Convenient location in Chinatown. If you're commuting, the restaurant is a few blocks up north of Spadina from Spadina & Dundas. Service: 3.5/5 Service is quick and efficient. However, staffs were not very attentive which was understandable since they kept having customers coming in. Other than that, service is no better than what you'd expect from Chinatown kind of restaurants. Food: 4/5 My boyfriend had a large Bun Bo Hue and I got myself a small Bun Rieu. Quantity wise, there's not much difference from a small size to a large. The Bun Bo Hue is very aromatic as the broth is infused with the traditional Viet spices (cinnamon, star anise, etc.) Also, for $11, they gave generous amount of meat in the soup. My boyfriend loved it. For my Bun Rieu, it was great! I've got no complaints except the fact that the broth is not very potent. The crab paste (which is the essence that makes up an authentic bowl of bun rieu) is almost absent and it's mainly the sourness from tomatoes. Aside from that, everything is decent. Price: 4/5 Cheap Viet eats. However, it's 2019 and they still only accept cash. Overall: Will only be back if I'm craving for Bun Bo Hue and Bun Rieu. Other than that, I've tried their pho and vermicelli and they are all below average. read more

This place is a solid 3.5/5. I had the Pho Dac Biet and it was tasteful and decent size for a regular. The service is non existent and you can tell when a restaurant has been around for awhile they just treat the customers like another number, high turnover, in and out service. Don't expect anything more than a good meal which is exactly what I came for. Imagine if they put even a small effort into customer service. Viet coffee was very good. Strong. Cash only. read more

I've been coming here for many years, and i pretty much always get the same thing - small Chicken Pho. The quality of the food stays pretty consistent, I like how the broth is clear and not super oily, the noodles are not overcooked and theres a good amount of chicken. I've also had their rice dish (Cm tm), it came in a generous portion (couldn't finish) and tasted really good with the fish sauce poured all over. read more

It has been a while since I have had the pho here but the flavour hasn't changed. The atmosphere though has, a victim of covid. But kudos to taking the protocols seriously and sticking with them. So a forewarning, you need ID, proof of vaccination, they want contact tracing info, but you do get to eat inside. Plus it's a cash only place. Just in case you miss the sign. Food hasn't changed much. I like my beef well not rare but that's a personal choice. I also like the brisket and the special. I'm surprised by the number of people who leave the soup behind. If they knew the work and care that goes into a good pho broth, they would enjoy it more and finish with near empty bowls. I'm hoping that this place sticks around because I like their food and prices. A solid 3.75/5 stars . read more

Good prices and good portions. The staff are not fussy and service is quick-exactly how you know its a good asian restaurant. Always love a good viet iced coffee! read more

Pho Hung - Vietnamese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Pho Hung. The food: The pho broth was bland, very fatty. It's like they didn't skim the fat off of the broth. The broth was cloudy and very fatty. It wasn't a deep flavor. The pho was suppose to come with all the herb condiments but it was not fully provided etc basil, mint, coriander etc. The bun bo hue was just ok my mom said. Service: The service was terrible. We had 5 in our party. When we got sat at table the waitress gave us only 3 napkins. We then asked for more napkins and a different waitress gave us only 2 napkins. We then asked a THIRD time for some damn napkins and finally got enough for our party. The waitress was very unfriendly. All the staff was gossiping and talking loudly in front of the house. If you want to talk, go in the back of the house. Don't gossip in the front of the house where your customers can see and hear you. The restaurant was so stuffy and humid... We tried this restaurant because of Vit Thao recommendation and we were so disappointed. read more

You can't go wrong with a nice steaming bowl of Ph, but I must say... although their broth is savoury and delicious, the portions are really small for the price you have to pay. I ordered the large bowl of noodles and was quite disappointed with the restaurant's perception of "large." In addition, there were only a few slivers of meat in my bowl and just an average amount of noodles. Needless to say, they did provide a heaping plate of vegetables... Overall, the service was ok, the flavour is present, however the value for the food here is missing. read more

Came here for dinner on a Friday night with no wait to get a seat. Only received half service(we had to write what we wanted to order) Did not have to wait too long for the food. The food itself tasted only okay, nothing special. I got the typical Pho, the soup base did not contain too much MSG but it was weird, the temperature of the soup did not even cooked my beef. The spring rolls did not come with lettuce (not sure if it's Toronto and NY is different. The good thing about Pho Hung is it's located in Chinatown and it's quick! read more

Quick service, good portions, hearty pho. Nothing to write home about but I got what I wanted when I walked into the restaurant, which is a good bowl of pho. The brisket was quite soft. We went around 2PM so the place was quite empty but it was hot inside. Not sure how comfortable patrons would be eating when the place is more full. Didn't have trouble with service like other reviews have noted. read more

I've never really understood the love for Pho Hung...it's not a bad place by any means. But it's not at all memorable, the food is fine (portion sizes are quite generous), the service is okay, the decor/furnishings are very basic. The broth is tasty and great for winter, but honestly nothing to really go out of your way for. ----------- Follow me on Instagram @yamisohungry for more! read more

Out of all the pho places in chinatown, this is the one that I visit the most often. They have a large seating capacity, and being the corner lot means they get lots of natural light, which makes the place feel very welcoming. This is a very casual place. Once you've decided on your order, just write down the corresponding item number and size on the provided sheet and hand it to a server. The utensils and condiments are all on the table so just serve yourself. They have an extensive menu, but I usually just go with the house special pho(#01) or one of the bun (cold rice noodle that comes with different toppings and salad). I also always order the deep fried Vietnamese spring roll. It's very different from the Chinese spring roll; the wrapper is much thinner and there's more filling. You eat it with the special dipping sauce(Nuoc Cham), which is a balance of sweet, sour, spicy and savory from the fish sauce. For pho, small is a very satisfying size for most people, large is good for people with bigger appetites, and unless you're sharing or you're training for competitive eating, I would not recommend getting the XL. There have been occasions where I think I'm hungry enough to finish an XL, but those always end with me walking away regretting my life decisions. They get pretty busy so the servers are not very attentive. Note, this is a cash only place so make sure to hit the bank before hand or be forced to use the ATM there. read more

Pho Hung is the place to go to get your fix of pho or vermicelli bowl. Be sure to go early to beat the office lunch crowd. Since it was cold today, I decided to order a hot pho instead of usually curry chicken vermicelli (see below). I usually order the large because I find that the small portion always leave me wanting for more. However, since I've never ordered a small pho before from Pho Hung, I decided to see what their portion size was like. I ordered the #1 special that had everthing - thin slices of beef, tendon, tripe and half a beef ball. The amount of noodle to toppings was perfect! The soup was delicious and you can tell that they've been doing this for a long time. I was so full after finishing my 'small' bowl that I can only imagine what their large bowl size must be like. Mmmm.. the pho really hit the spot on a cold day! My coworkers and I always get the 19A small (curry chicken with spring rolls vermicelli). It comes to $9.00 including tax and I've never once finished the small, I wonder how much food they give you for the large! I've tried the pho too and the beef broth is delicious and savoury. If you're by Kensington market or have a craving for Vietnamese food, go to Pho Hung! read more

Pho Hung - 19A curry chicken vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Came here for lunch with a few coworkers, randomly chose a spot to eat so there was no expectations for this place. The inside was a bit on the rundown side, typical Chinatown restaurant. The decoration and atmosphere resembled most pho places. Everyone ordered pho, nothing complicated and pretty standard. If it was just based on food, this place would be average and not a bad place to grab some pho in Chinatown. But the service was terrible, if not the worse. One coworker found a piece of plastic in the soup, of course they stopped eating and waved down a waitress immediately to inform them. The waitress didn't seem to care and also tried to play it off as if it's a normal thing that could happen. Tried to explain how the plastic was probably used to wrap the beef, its clean and there's really nothing wrong with it being in the soup. Really felt like an argument which later resulted in asking for the owner instead, coworker could no longer talk to the waitress calmly. Overall, there's better pho out there so definitely won't be coming back in the future for waitresses with attitude. read more

What's with all the bad reviews here? Sure the service is lack luster but the food here is pretty amazing. I love a fatty brisket and the meat was tender, toothsome and a complete layer of fat of flavor. I came here on a hunch that this would be good. 3 stars but with over 400 reviews? There is going to be something great here. Coming from Los Angeles where many Asian restaurants get low grades but with multiple reviews, I thought Pho Hung might be cut from the same cloth. The pho broth is perfectly beefy. I like a very deep, rich but plain flavor to my broth. Not too many extra spices. I don't need to taste anise or all spice in m broth. I want a rich beef broth and that's what I tasted. The pho came in three sizes. I went for a large and that was enough for my man sized adult stomach. Why not a five star? I'm not entirely blind to the service. Expect mute service at places like this. Maybe that's not the culture in Toronto, but that's what I've come to expect from immigrant run places. But you get service when you call them and they do what is asked of them. Also, this place is cash only which is not great in this age of technology. Still, I'd come here again for some a great bowl of comfort food in an air conditioned setting. read more

Disgusting service. The server kept insisting that there needed to be an order per person and a lot of the other servers I noticed were fooling around... it also seemed like they reused their food?? The vegetables that came with my noodles was a bunch of leftover random bits of cabbage, onion, and bean sprouts... no wonder that forbid taking leftovers home. I used to enjoy eating here during my childhood but I don't think I would ever try coming back here. I had pho with beef balls, it was mediocre and quite lacking dont bother coming here. read more

It's a super no frills place where you can grab a quick bite to eat. I don't know about the other menu items, but their pho here is great! I've had always had the brisket pho and it is hearty and delicious especially for a super cold day. It's also CASH ONLY so make sure you stop by an ATM before if not they have one in the store as well. read more

Probably the most famous pho place in Chinatown, with its recognizable facade. I love the large windows and view onto spadina, making it a welcoming spot to enjoy a pho on a winter day. I have never been disappointed with the food itself, and their fresh spring rolls are a must try. The service is fast, but isn't friendly, and the bill isn't always very well presented so as to understand what's tip, what's tax and what's what. I have tried other pho places in the area that taste more authentic and deserve more attention, but overall this place remains true to its reputation and is a great choice for a first pho experience read more

I frequent this place because it's easy to get a seat, food comes fast and it's tasty and cheap. The wait staff is super dry and not friendly at all, but just factor that in and you'll be fine. There's no point to say "thank you" or anything else to the wait staff, they won't say anything back to you. Just hand them your order and enjoy the food. I enjoy their spring rolls and vermicelli dishes - and cheap beer. read more

CHECK YOUR CHANGE THEY TRIED TO JIP US $5 and THEIR MEAT WAS DISGUSTING. They are CASH ONLY. The male Vietnamese boss is very rude. He stands at the door and checks everyone's orders to make sure you meet the minimum. He doesnt smile unless you're definitely a tourist (judges by race). There is a minimum of $6 per person charge and not allowed to share anything. He came over and specifically told us that. You also can't take anything home with soup if you don't finish. I Do NOT recommend. GRATUITY IS INCLUDED FOR 5+ otherwise I would've given 0!!!!! TLDR: BAD SERVICE, DISGUSTING, DIRTY FOOD. Only popular cause it's on a popular street full of tourist who would never come back. read more

3.75/5 - the fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce came quickly, but unfortunately the noodles inside were dry and definitely not fresh. the sauce was a bit thin but flavorful. - the bun bo hue (#14) was the highlight. the broth was nice a spicy but not overwhelming and the regular portion was great. it would have been better if the quality of meat was better, since it included a lot of fatty/ cartilage pieces. but, the noodles were nicely cooked and the overall taste was good. - the shaken beef (#73) was nicely charred, adding a deeper smoky flavor. it came with onions, mushrooms, and red peppers and the chunks of meet were nice and big. the meet was cooked medium rare but it tasted dry. the meat quality also wasn't the best so the larger pieces were pretty chewy. - the place is very busy but our food came quick and with free hot tea. the servers were not very friendly but they came when we called them over. - the space is pretty large but crowded. you can't one alone or with a group but be expected to wait if you come during peak hours. they have a restroom and are cash-only. read more

I came here with my dad today at around 11:30AM. I was always curious as to how great this restaurant is, considering it's been around for quite sometime and I would always walk by it whenever I go grocery shopping in Chinatown. We were seated in the porch area and it took us a while for a server to get our order. I'd say from the time we were ready to give our order sheet to the time we got our food was about 25 minutes. My dad and I got the small house special pho. The pho soup tasted OK and there was quite a bit of rare beef on top. I had to quickly flip it over for the soup to cook, however even after being simmer in it for 15 minutes the meat never fully cooked. It might have been my particular case that this happened, but I could see why numerous yelpers have complained about feeling sick. It was $8 per bowl and to be honest with you... it wasn't worth the price. Some tips id like to give: - they only accept cash - they charge per person if dishes are split - order the well-done pho to avoid the abundance of raw meat read more

We were extremely excited to eat here, however was extremely disappointed. We saw the many reviews it had that's why we decided to try. Side note, we try Vietnamese food (specifically Pho) every chance we get! (Ex.all over USA, Denmark, Australia, Vietnam...) We ordered the pho and bun bo hue, both were just ok. We also ordered the Che 3 mau (tri-color dessert), they came out in big glasses so we were excited BUT once we tasted them, there was no flavor and was soooo bland. We asked the server why was it so bland and no coconut milk, he said that they didn't have any so they added 'cream'. Which was odd, as they should have told us and asked if we still wanted the dessert instead of making something hoping that we won't noticed. I would not eat here again. read more

3.5 stars The only reason I come here all the way from the north is to eat their BBQ pork chop rice. The rice portion and ratio to the pork is amazing. Mixed with the fish sauce it's a perfect combination. The reason I only for 3.5 stars is because their noodle portion is really small. I ordered a large but it's equal to a small size compared to other pho places. Love the rice but not the noodle so much. Still come Amc regularly though. read more

Very fast service, however, they missed one ingredient in my pho. How is that possible when I wrote it out in Vietnamese? Maybe it was my penmanship.

This Restaurant Accepts Cash Only but... A friend took me here one night about an hour before the place was closing its operations. The Vietnamese food here is comforting and no-fuss and the flavors are good. I liked my "bun" noodle bowl which was filling with the vegetable garnishes hidden underneath with the noodles and meat stacked on top. It was almost like an upside-down noodle bowl with some nutritious treasures underneath :-) I haven't had Vietnamese food in a long time so the presentation of the bun was an interesting to see. read more

Having seen many great reviews about this place, i set out to find a taste of home. I was lucky as it's not crowded when i was there. After a glance through their menu, i decided to go ahead with pho dac biet (house special item): combo of tendon, beef balls, rare beef, etc. First look was the broth. It was a little more oily than i prefer, and not as clear. Always love myself some clear, amber, fragrant pho broth. As lacking as it looks, the broth tasted milder than my liking. Second was the noodle, banh pho. It was smooth but a little too thin, almost like hu tieu. Lastly, though I personally have nothing against it, there is msg in the broth. Overall, it was not bad. Do i think it lives up to the positive reviews and my expectations? No. Will i come back? Probably not any time soon. read more
