It's spacious, airy and clean - the prices were reasonable unlike other spots. We ordered the chicken pho, the pork chop rice and a vermicelli. The broths had a strong depth of flavour with a great umami punch. The portions were good for the price point... the protein was a little on the smaller side but not the worst. The best part... the washrooms were clean! There were 3-4 stalls and the one I used, wasn't moonlighting as a bathroom... win!! Service was good, friendly and kind... they didn't check in on us but they did have a couple of large tables so maybe that's why they were busier. We're adding this to the list and we'd recommend dropping in! It's a bit off the beaten path but plenty of parking. Sorry no photos, too busy trying to keep the munchkins fed and happy.

I would like to share some honest feedback from my recent visit…read more When I ordered the bún riêu, the broth didn't really have the signature bún riêu flavor. The bò kho served with bread would taste much better if the broth were thicker. Adding a little cornstarch to create a richer, more stew-like consistency would make it perfect for dipping bread. Another concern is that the bowls, spoons, and cups all had a very strong dish soap smell. It seems like the dish soap wasn't rinsed off completely before putting the dishes into the dishwasher, and the detergent smell stayed on them. This can be harmful to customers' health and also makes the food less enjoyable. The restaurant itself is clean, and the service is very good. My only issue is the strong dish-soap smell on the utensils and dishes -- it really takes away my appetite.

The seating arrangement is an awkwardly colour of red and white. We both ordered beef vermicelli and it was surprisingly good. The beef was marinated and stir fried with onions. The spring roll had a nice crunch and it was hot. They had pan-dan leaf flavoured tea which is a nice touch. Glad we dropped by for lunch before going to Fallsview Casino for a show

Ordered a L pho bac biet and wasn't disappointed. Broth was nice and flavourful but I was really surprised at how much noodles and meat was in the bowl. At one point I was thinking I might not have finished...but a little voice in my head said suck it up! I heard the table beside us totally F up their order, complain they didn't like what they ordered and the staff were super friendly and accommodating in getting them another dish. A+ for the staff. I'll come by to try some other items for sure.

The prices were reasonable, the portions were just right, and the service was good. The staff made the visit smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. I'm a big fan of Vietnamese pho soup, so I'm always excited to try new places--and this one did not disappoint. It's always fun exploring new spots, especially when they deliver on both taste and service.

Eating from LA, Vegas, MN, WI, MI, IL, OH, Manhattan, FI, KS, MS, GA, canada, etc. I make reviews after tasting their pho. I know what pho is good and what is fake! Being Hmong, I try not to be bias, "only Vietnamese people can cook pho! The restaurant started from a Vietnamese owner." Pho Bowl Vietnamese Restaurant I have not had pho in this area of Canada, so I decided to try Pho Bowl. The reviews said this was a good spot. Really? Are you people from mars? How can you say this pho broth is good? It's not even bone broth like it should be. Let me start, we walked in and they gave us an order slip. What? Do I fill it out? Don't expect a big tip. I filled it out. Waited for service. Confused. We eventually got our food. Stop! Their was a long white hair in our food. Nasty. Really. How can you miss it. Nasty. Someone is loosing hair? Old hair. Sorry. You should know better. They did not even remove the item or give us credit. Wow. Your tip is really going to look bad. The pho? I tasted the broth and it was not good at all. For starters, they gave me pork meat. Which is a no no. I know the difference. I ordered the Pho special, I know what I'm expecting. Pho Dac Biet taste better than this. This was clearly a fake pho special. Bad broth. Wrong meat. Sorry. This was a disaster. I had so much high hopes. How can people say their pho was the best in Canada? Wtf? Please. Dumpster fire. $5 tip from $70 bill. That's the kind of service I got. Next to nothing. I paid myself because I took my own order. The only positive is the amount of pho in their extra large. Otherwise this place has gone down. They maybe very good at one time but for sure they are lost. Sell. Update and purge workers. The pho presentation is on par but the broth needs fixing. Don't go cheap on the broth! The place is clean. They need help.

We were very excited to try this place after getting this recommendation from locals…read more Unfortunately, the food was a huge disappointment. We got the Singapore noodles and the fresh chow mein and both were super bland and not appealing. The shrimp fresh spring rolls were also very vegetable scarce. The service was very prompt and we got our food literally within 5 min of ordering. This might look good at the first glance but we suspected that they already pre made everything ahead of time and just mixed them together. Moreover, the food gave me upset stomach the next day which confirmed my suspicions that the food was probably stale. The people were very pleasant but I'm not willing to eat the food again unfortunately. Maybe the Pho is better because the place is called Pho Vietnam but I would recommend against ordering what we ordered

I called to tell the restaurant that we were going to have 30 people come in on a random weekday, and they were able to loop off an area for our party without an issue. The owner was very friendly and gave tips on the area as well as general, very appreciated life advice. Appetizers: we got eggrolls and garlic noodles for everyone. Solid egg rolls, and my partner liked the garlic noodles so much that he looked up how to recreate the recipe at home. It's definitely not something you see on a lot of Vietnamese menus, but it's such a unique, Vietnamese-American creation that I'm glad we were able to try it out here! Main course: I got a banh mi xiu mai, because that's something that's almost impossible to find on the east coast, and it was done exceptionally well. The bread (which I was told they bake fresh in-house!) was light and airy on the inside with a thin crispy crust on the outside. I also got an avocado smoothie, which was not too sweet-- everyone saw me get one, taste-tested it, and proceeded to order one as well LOL. Between the 30 of us, we essentially got everything on the menu, and everyone was pleased with their food. I got a lot of comments saying, "This is the best Vietnamese food I've had outside of California," and if you're in the know, you know that's a crazy high compliment! I wish I took pictures of the food, but we were too busy eating and socializing--which is a sign of good food I guess! Would definitely come back if I'm ever craving Viet food and am in the area.

Tucked into an unassuming stretch of industrial Mississauga, Pho Ngoc Yen has spent years quietly…read morebuilding a devoted following, and rightfully so. The menu unfurls with impressive breadth, moving well beyond expected pho into simmered specialties that reward the adventurous diner. Service throughout was attentive and unhurried, the sort of hospitality that turns newcomers into regulars. What lingers most is the room itself. Disco lighting fixtures and a tucked away stage lend the space an unexpected theatricality, as though it were built for celebration rather than mere sustenance. Despite the family's expansion into a sleeker downtown outpost, this original location retains a lived in charm no polished interior could replicate. The broth carries real depth and fragrance, the noodles handled with care, and the accompanying plates, from crisp spring rolls to grilled specialties, arrive with the consistency that keeps a neighborhood loyal for decades. If there is a critique to offer, it is only that the restaurant's understated exterior undersells the warmth and quality found within. This is Vietnamese cooking presented without pretense: generous, comforting, and utterly sincere. Pho Ngoc Yen earns its reputation through steady, quiet excellence, and it remains a destination worth returning to again and again.
