Have been doing take out since few months coz this place is not baby friendly ( space wise) but the food always up to our standard. We have tried other vietnamese restaurant and we always come back to this one. Usually we order chicken noodle soup and the minced pork with pork chop grill. read more

Outstanding choice in a district of delicious Vietnamese food. I spotted the "cash only" sign (which I consider a good omen) and ducked in for lunch. WINNING ENSUED. The special beef pho -- swoon. How did they make this broth?? Accompianied by a huge plate of freshest basil and lime. The next day I went back again for lunch, tried a different spicier pho and more magic happened. The lunch crowd is wide-ranging from business people eating a solo lunch to seniors speaking Vietnamese, to families. Five stars can't wait to go back next time I'm in Toronto. read more

I love this place. I go all the time. Great pho broth. Great pork chop on rice. But the chicken is the real star. Either get there pho ga if you are in the mood for soup or the fried lemongrass chicken. If you can't decide between soup or rice, get yourself a lemongrass chicken with a cup of pho broth on the side, finish it off with an avocado shake or a viet coffee and call it a night. love this place! read more

I have been ordering from this place consistently for the last couple of months and never really had a bad experience except the one time I found a dead fly in my salad. Anyways, I let that go, but the last time I ordered 2 dishes, they literally gave me a tiny half sliced piece of chicken. Just as I was wondering where the other half went, I looked at my fiancés dish and notice the tiny piece of chicken that was missing on my dish, they gave to him! Horrible service!! I am never going there again. They just lost a customer. read more

Best Pho in the City in my opinion. Their fried spring rolls are amazing, very tasty broth, cash only bring money and go try it!

The food is not too good, nothing special. Cash only, but be careful if you pay using US dollars because the exchange rate is 1:1. If you pay using US $, it adds up to them charging you 34% more. Very unfair. Pho is OK but pork chop not good. read more

Ph is okie, Bún Bò Hu is a hit, just come on weekend for your Bún Bò Hu

I've read so many glowing reviews I had to try it out for myself. The place is a little run down looking and there were sauce stains along the wall where my table is up against. Just remind yourself you're here for the food and NOT look around too much. I wanted to order the Bun Bo Hue but it's only available Friday to Sunday. I ended up ordering the Pho Bo Kho, a spicy beef stew noodle soup. Service was fast maybe because I was the only one there at 10 am. It came piping hot along with the requisite side of sprouts/herbs. The soup appeared oily but once you mix it around it's not that noticeable. But the taste was very flavorful. You know they took care & time to cook the broth down to this level of complexity. The rice noodles were the wide kind and soaked up the broth nicely. The beef brisket was a little gristly/fat but tender. I'm not a big fan of beef stew but this was damn amazing. I can't wait to come back for their Bun Bo Hue. read more

Pho Linh - S3 Pho Bo Kho-Spicy Stew Beef noodle soup...on the oily side but very tasty! - Vietnamese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

****CASH ONLY?**** SERIOUSLY? you got to be kiddin' me! I took my family here today as I wanted to introduce them to Vietnamese cuisine, pho and the likes. I read the reviews and I thought it would be a great place to break them into this food. So yes, the PHO is not bad at all, I had better but really, we had the one with tofu and the one with rare meat and they were good. the noodles are thick and fresh and size is good. we also had the fried chicken with rice which was average at best + the spring rolls which were ok. So all in all the food was fine and I would probably give it a 3 or even 4 stars. BUT... when going to pay I was pulling out my debit card and was told no way! cash only!!! Didn't you see the little piece of paper on the door? you have no cash? it's ok, we have a machine downstairs that would cost me another $3.50 or so. Furthermore, they made a mistake sending us a juice that we didnt order and when I said I didnt order it they refused to take it off the bill. Needless to say I was completely ticked off by then and just wanted to leave. NOT HAPPY. Common, it is 2016 and 99% of people do not carry cash on them! nevermind it's about 15 cents per transaction. The only reason they dont take cards is because the owners of this restaurant either skip the cash register and keep most of cash without paying taxes or they just want to make an extra $2 from the money machine downstairs. That is not the kind of restaurant I want to give business to. read more

Well I just bought food today and I'm really mad at them. I swear that never come back to this place again. They over charge me for everything. I ask for addition fish sauce and got charge for $3 for tiny plate. They charge me for $30 for 2 portion beef noodle. I just upset because the way the do business is not the same as couple years ago. Really disappointed. read more

Best pho in town! After going to a few places in Chinatown and ossingtion we found this place and make the trip every week! The broth is clean and very good. They only take cash and there is usually a line during dinner peak hours but they flip tables a lot. Max I've waited is 30 minutes. I get the rare beef. It's great! read more

I'll be straight with it: this place is really good. I had the large pho dac biet (house special pho - like I always do) and goi cuon (shrimp salad roll). The pho broth was a tad on the lighter side but very flavourful and the noodles are the smooth, 'fresh' type -- I'm used to the 'chewier', 'chalky' standard noodles -- but this was still very good. The goi cuon is one of the better ones I've had. And as expected, it was really cheap and the portions were big. They had some interesting specials on the board and I was pleasantly surprised they offered bun bo hue on the weekends. But I went with my standard litmus test and I was there on a weekday. Will be back to try this BBH -- that will really make or break the place for me. But for now, a solid pho broth good enough for 4-stars. read more

gotta drop them down a star. went last friday, and it was so disappointing. I went with the pho, and it was all off. meat wasn't lean, and was mostly fat, and then there was very little noodles. I come here twice a month, and this was the first time I was very disappointed. If this becomes the new standard, i won't be back. read more

We order 2 bowls of Pho,they came with 1 plate of Sprouts and herts . Pho was good! The only skinny guy serve us was VERY RUDE TAKING when I asked for extra beansprout . He SOUNDED LIKE DOESN'T NEED YOU COME. What the customer service,the owner should not hire him! read more

Almost as good as my mom's pho... but since you may not have a Vietnamese mother who knows how to make pho, this is your best bet in Toronto. The pho is delicately seasoned and the noodles are soft. If you like it spiced, try their Bun Bo Hue (#11). Their Banh Coung Cha Lua (#12) is also a must try! If you like Vietnamese desserts, try the Suong Sua Hot Lua (#78) which you can't get anywhere else. read more

Great special dishes other than Pho. The Pho taste great but is underportioned with extra soup.

Edit: I learned that the broth used in the vegetarian pho isn't vegetarian. So it's actually a 'vegetable pho' and not vegetarian. Vegetarians beware!! read more

The best Pho in the city? Not a certainty. The best pho in downtown east? A definite certainty! Don't bother with the useless hipster joints on ossington, this is it. Always get raw beef and always get it on the side. read more

Bun bo hue was so delicious. Best one I've had in Toronto so far. Lots of lemongrass and just enough spiciness. Super fast service. I swear faster than fast food! Very clean restaurant. read more

First time coming to pho linh and it was awesome. They had this minced pork rice roll dish with Vietnamese sausages that most pho places don't have. Super addicted to it! Their pho was also good biggest test is the thirst test and they passed. I didn't feel the urge to drink 5 glasses of water the next morning. The restaurant is family style and it seats a comfortable number of people. read more

Had the pho dac biet and goi cuon. was expecting great flavors from all the five star hype. First the goi cuon(spring roll), meet the criteria, but the dipping sauce missing on flavor. The sauce looked like watered down plum sauce with carrot garnish to make it look pretty. The pho, a bit on the salty side, looks right, does not have pho aromas, basically bowl of beef broth with noodles and pho garnishes. Overall, ate but left not satisfied if ur planning on getting ur pho or viet food fix. To top it off jt is a cash operation which explains the cheaper price. not digging having to use their own personal atm for cash. they can afford an atm with internet connective with atm fees but not supply a credit payment option. ATM definitely self own when the menu states "owner" as business, i'll be watching my account, seems shady to me. definitely no seconds read more

Be ready to wait in line. This place is small and stays busy. Service is fast but once you get your food, they disappear. I was excited to try their famous Pho. I had their Pho Tai Bo Vien. It came out quickly and the broth was very delicious. But I was not a fan of the noodles they used or their meatballs. The noodles were a smaller, round udon -style type of noodles that did not absorb the ingredients well. The meatballs were small and tasted like the generic frozen kind you can find at any Asian grocery store. My friends ordered the Bun Bo Hue and Pho Tai and both enjoyed them. They loved the Bun Bo Hue and said it was one of the best they have ever had. I ended the meal with some nem chua. They were rather small and were overly sweet. Fortunately, you could tell they were homemade and the spiciness in each one was amazing. It was just missing the sourness one looks for when it comes to nam sausage. This place is worth a visit if you are in the area for Vietnamese food. read more

See all

Cheap! Pretty good pho. Really busy but two people can eat for 20$ tip and tax in. A bit underwhelming and the decor made me worry a bit about their dinesafe, but overall pretty tasty. read more

Best Vietnamese food in this neighborhood! Not only is the food cheap and delicious, they also make it super fast -- I always get it in under 5 minutes! read more

The Pho is average at best, still good. A bit salty and less flavor compared my my favorite spot on Ossington. Company was good, with my friend Stanley and that always helps. read more

While this place isn't known to have any MIND-blowing dishes/entrees, I must say that their food is consistently tasty. Everything that I've tried gets a B grade from me. However, if you're a Pho snob, I would suggest you go to Tien Thanh on Ossington Street....and you can thank me later! read more

Pho Linh in hands down the best Pho restaurant in the city. On weekdays (Monday - Thursday) they have the Pho Bo Koh, its a beef noodle stew cooked to perfection...a must try. For those who haven't been to Pho Linh, I would suggest any of the Pho noodles, the broth is cooked to perfection each time with a variety of fresh basil, mint leaves, bean sprouts and lime. The spring rolls and vermicelli roll is a favourite as well. read more

I heard a lot of good things about this place but was really disappointed. I got the $7 rare pho, the portion was nice and they give you a nice plate of sprouts and greens but other then that, the beef seems to be of low quality and cut a little too thick for my liking . The broth is very very bland, I couldn't taste anything except the flavours from the beef and added greens. read more

My friend said this was a really good place to go for pho, but it was just average. The waiters were really friendly and the space was clean, but the food was just ok. read more

This is a cozy Vietnamese Pho restaurant. We came here and ordered Com Tam and Bun Bo Hue. Com Tam is very good and more delicious than any restaurant in Toronto I had been to. Bun Bo Hue is also as good but can be very spicy for those who cannot enjoy spicy food. One thing to point out is that this place only accept cash! Overall, the restaurant is clean and cozy, the service is very fast. read more

Best chicken pho. Nice deep fried vermicelli rolls too. Try the chili oil. Cash only. Atm downstairs.

The best pho place in Toronto. Make sure you always ask for fresh noodles. Very fast service. Sometimes you have to wait in line but the turnover is quick. It is cash only. I love the specials you can get from fri-sun. read more

Tied for some of the best Pho I've had in Toronto. We kept things simple and opted for the Pho with rare beef, beef brisket and beef balls, with an order of fresh rolls and fried spring rolls. The broth was rich, complex, and super aromatic. I wasn't feeling the sodium-spike I often do after Pho, and all the rolls were fresh, tasty and satisfying. I'm looking forward to working my way through the rest of the menu. read more

They are famous amongst the Asian aunties in the area for their soups! And it is definitely to rave about... With the Asian aunties! Clear broth with the use of fresh rice noodles. You know sometimes when you go to one that uses poor quality noodles, they become brittle once submerged in the soup for too long.... This doesn't man!!!! I would fully recommend getting the crab soup cuz it's full of flavour and hella cheap for 11 bucks read more

I really liked my pho here. The broth was very hot and full of flavour. Prices were about the going rate in Toronto (which is very cheap). The spring rolls were a little on the tiny side and just a tad burnt, but still tasty. I think we originally were planning to go elsewhere in the area but the other place was closed. Lucky us! read more

Pho Linh is a family owned restaurant and a staple Vietnamese restaurant in the neighbourhood which my boyfriend grew up eating. We came here for breakfast (so Asian of us, I know but you can never go wrong with a bowl of pho no matter what time of the day it is). We both got a bowl of pho and their infamous bahn cuon to share. Even though they just opened, everything was top notch. The food came out quickly and was piping hot. Love the soup here, and they don't skimp on the meats! The bahn cuon was so fresh and delicious; perfectly rolled. Owners are so friendly. Despite the bland exterior of the restaurant, this gem is worth visiting again and again. read more

Went all the way downtown to try this pho place. It was amazing, the best pho I have had. The broth was truly authentic and the service was great. I tried the special pho and the rice rolls with minced pork. It taste like it came straight from Vietnam, full of flavour. Would definitely come back. read more

Pho Linh - House special, yummy! - Vietnamese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

There's a lot of tasty pho options in Toronto but this place has tasty pho, friendly staff, and a bright atmosphere with tons of natural light! I got the rare beef pho. The beef wasn't super rare when it got to my table but the broth was incredible. Definitely recommend trying this place! read more

Amazing pho - the rare beef was perfection and the spring rolls are awesome (get the hot not the cold) you can't do better in this city for the dollar - the place is always packed. We will absolutely be back!! read more

Went there many times. It's a very popular Vietnamese restaurant and is usually busy. It's a small restaurant but a busy one. I would recommend you try yourself and find out. read more
