    Bun bo hue
    Gayan P.

    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.

    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.

    Place is packed on a Saturday evening.

    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.

    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. The broth was alright. I loved the salad rolls. It was so fresh. And the resto was very generous with the huge chunks of shrimp. Vibe: 3.5/5 Pretty clean and homey. I love the window seats. It feels pretty cozy when the sunlight shines through. Service: 3.5/5 Food was served in about 5 mins. Pretty fast. The servers were polite.

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    got the #1 large ($16). broth was pretty good not too salty and there was a lot of variety in the beef.

    Vietnamese fried rice

    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.

    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.

    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".

    New Viet restaurant joins us on Augusta Avenue in Kensington. This was previously a crepe place…read more This pho spot has an original version in the burbs so they know what they are doing. The store front looks inviting and once inside the thought and details of the interior speaks to their experience in welcoming diners. Beautiful inside with a fresh and clean vibe. I had a fish cake with dill vermicelli soup which was delicious. It came with the usual side of sprouts and greens to use as toppings. My bill was $23 with tip on my card for the soup. Service was quick and efficient with plenty of staff around to help you enjoy the experience. The front patio is really nice! Will be a great spot to eat while people watching at this iconic corner.

    Inconsistent at the moment…read more I've been there 2x for the same order #45 tomato, softshellcrab w vermicelli. The soup on my first visit was great, had depth, flavourful! I tried to finish the broth because it was so good. I would have given that first bowl 4 stars! Today was terrible! It just felt like a super water-downed broth that I didn't want to drink. Everything was just boiled and dumped in a water-downed soup base. The least they can do is use broth and dump it in the seafood tomato based soup. This was a 9pm dinner. They had their own family visiting to close up shop at 11. I tried asking them what happened to the broth today but they didn't speak English or just decided not to. It was disappointing for a bowl of $21 + tax noodle that was just pretty bland tonight even though it looked the part.... Sigh 2 stars today but couldn't average it out to 3 because now I remembered the spring rolls from the first visit were soggy Yes they are friendly but don't know if it's a place you should come before 7pm to catch the good broth?

    They have 5 types of dry noodles with pork tossed with sauce, which is super hard to find as a dish…read more(even if you look for similar dishes in Singaporean, Malaysian, Thai and Cambodian cuisines). The dry noodle dishes under the green column use egg noodles & those under the brown use rice noodles but the toppings & sauce are the same. The most pricey rice noodles are Japanese but otherwise the difference is width. Got the thin egg noodle version in large. It's recommended to add pickled garlic & red vinegar. The soup was pretty tasty with a natural sweetness, 2 springy half fishballs & a large, very fresh shrimp. The sauce was basically oyster sauce but pickled garlic, red vinegar, hoi sin & chili sauce were available to add complexity. The noodles weren't wet but were not dry either. Large was a very big bowl it came with minced pork, thin sliced pork beansprouts & greens. The pickled garlic was good. Also got a shrimp fritter on the side for $2.50. It was big with one tiny shrimp. The juxtaposition was comical but it was cheap. It was not warm but the fritter was crispy & tasty. Unfortunately the shrimp itself was dry & brittle. Service was good, especially for an Asian place.

    How do I keep forgetting this place? They have been around forever, and I mean literally forever…read more Perhaps I overlooked because they don't fall into the usual perception of Viet food, but it's definitely genuinely and authentically, Viet! Right down to the non-white washed clientele. I'd always prefer to dine where the "locals" dine, and being in a multicultural city like Toronto, it's difficult to fine a hidden gem that hasn't been invaded by foreigners (I'm laughing inside because I'm not Viet and am disliking myself for being that invader; however, I can pass for a Viet if I just point to the table I want and the menu item I'd like ). So, please keep this place to yourself as I would hate to line up the next time I come.
