Yummy for the Tummy!!!. I can say that this is probably the best place for Vietnamese Food in Downtown Toronto. The price has increased in the past couple of years but I still think for the money you can't go wrong with Vietnamese Food here. The Pho is excellent, best place for Banh Coun (Vietnamese rice Rolls) and Bun Bo Hue (spicy Hue Style noodle soup). Those are the three menus items that I always order when i am here. The Pho beef Satay (Bo Kho) is not my favourite, the last time I had it, it was a bit greasy and needed more broth. You can't go wrong with Vietnamese food at this Joint. read more

Love the soup, it was amazing, soup was just at the temperature. It's always busy though so it's hard to find a seat

Great and prompt service. If you haven't been before you must try the daily special. The spicy soup was out of this world.

Great fresh noodles for free of charge. Not the best vegetarian option. Sometimes out of tofu. Quick turn over and the vegetables are fresh

I would put this in the top 2 or 3 pho restaurants I've been to, and that's a large sample size across North America. The most important thing about pho is the broth, theirs can't be beat. The second most important thing is the noodles, and upon request you can get fresh noodles. Last but not least, the sides, from the spring rolls to the shakes to the coffees, this place is legit. read more

I had my first great banh cuon experience at Pho Linh and ever since I can remember, I've only ordered banh cuon take out from here. They make it real good serving up big portions where they generously give larger fillings of minced pork and mushroom into each roll. This dish is very satisfying as it is cheap so it'll give you a run for your money! They also have a variety of genuine Vietnamese drinks that should be tried since you might not find them at any other Vietnamese restaurants such as che ba mau, suong sao etc. since the make time is a bit tedious. Spring rolls are also a must get appetizer as they are made crunchy with a delicious meat filling. My mouth is watering just talking about it. read more

This is where everyone in my family has been going for Vietnamese food outside of home. I have been eating at this restaurant for 10+ years, personally my favourite by far. If you plan a visit Fri-Sun highly recommend #11 Bun Bo Hue (spicy) read more

This place makes a delicious pho. I ordered rare beef to go, and in typical fashion is was ready in under 5 minutes. Got it home, the broth was scalding hot still, so it perfectly cooked the beef. The noodles were the right texture, and the salad was fresh as can be, with no wilted brown tails on the bean sprouts. Really good flavour on the broth, although I agree with other posters that this is not one where the typical spices of anise and cardamom sing. Well rounded and meaty, it was still the perfect comfort food. I skipped my usual condiments doctoring, because it really didn't need it; the salt levels are bang on. While I didn't eat in, I did scope out the space. Not 100% clean, but not disturbingly dirty either. It had the sort of patina you'd expect from a place where customers are enthusiastically slurping down big bowls of soup. Will be back to try the bùn. read more

Pho Linh is one of the nicer pho spots to try out when you're in the Little Italy area. It has two levels and comfy booth seats. They specialize in bun bo hue or spicy beef and lemongrass noodle soup but only serves them on weekends. It's is a bit pricer than other places but it's well worth it. The service is great and above average pho in Toronto. read more

Used to eat here all the time when I lived in the neighborhood. The food is cheap, comes out quick and piping hot! It's a very tight space however, and there is always a line up during lunch and dinner on the weekends. They have weekend specials - the bun bo hue is really good. I never get the rice or vermicilli dishes but they look ok - I'd stick to the noodle soups. read more

Zero vegetarian options! So disappointed. The server halfheartedly prodded a sign on the wall that said "tofu vegetable soup" before admitting that it was made with beef stock. I had a steamy bowl of pho across the street at Phoenix instead. read more

Craving Vietnamese on a budget? This is the place, and so fresh! I ate here twice in two days while staying in Toronto. if you're not big on red meat try the cold vermicelli with lemongrass chicken- it filled me up, healthy, and a cool meal for a hot day. read more

i get vietnamese food at home so i am pretty picky about vietnamese food restuarants. however i have to say pho linh is the bomb! i usually get #12 banh cun. best in town!!!! and i love their coconut shake! the prices are reasonable. the staff are friendly. lunch time during the weekends therre is usually a wait! they do take out and just started to do deliveries. the location is not the best and the place needs a face lift besides that i got no complaints! read more

I've tried almost every pho in the city. From the MSG laced soups Scarborough and markham to the late night hang over cures in china town. This place is my favourite. Clean, clear flavorful soup, fresh, soft noodles, this is the best pho. The bun bo hue served on weekends only is also a treat read more

Let me tell you, when it comes to Vietnamese food I'm quite judgmental. Not only is it my culture's food, but I have been surrounded by viet mothers who secretly cook competitively against each another my whole entire life. When I go out to have Vietnamese food, I don't expect a lot, I just expect it to be quick and tasty enough that I wouldn't pause and re think whether or not I want to take another bite. I've heard a few things about pho linh and their infamous homemade banh pho. After having their bowl of pho, I can see what the rage is all about. The banh pho is great, it tasted fresh and had the right amount of chewiness and matched perfectly well with the savory sweet soup. I also ordered the banh beo, which consists of small steamed rice cakes topped with chopped dried shrimp, scallions, mung bean paste, crispy fried shallots and nuoc mam (fish sauce). The texture of the banh beo was flawless, it wasn't soft and nor was it powdery (I've actually had banh beo made like this and it was not pleasant), I figured that if the banh pho was made well that the banh beo would come to par. Definitely a great Vietnamese establishment! read more

Seriously the best authentic Vietnamese food in all of Toronto. My father is Vietnamese and refuses to eat anywhere else. It's amazing. The portions are insane and so incredibly well priced. The staff speaks English and are so friendly. Just overall, it's an amazing place. Amazing food at great prices. What more could you ask for? read more

The best pho in the city. Their weekday special Mon-Thurs of hot and spicy beef noodle soup is just out of this world. It's beef parts slow cooked with carrot, tomato, and spices. Not really that spicy but really delicious. Fresh noodles and friendly service are a win. read more

Best pho restaurant in Toronto! Very authentic and the staff are super friendly (although they merely just greet you and bring you your order). My love and I go there at least once or twice per week. We tried other pho places and it's just not the same... Try the veggie/tofu pho and the spicy hue noodle (it's only available on the weekends though). Oh and they're owned operated by actual Vietnamese as oppose to Chinese... read more

I love this place, one of my favorites in the West end. I like that their noodles a little wider and fresh. They are pretty quick, and the broth is consistent. For those of you who enjoy their soup on the spicier side, they have a couple chilli oil jars kicking around. which is a big bonus for me, seeing as i bring my own sometimes to pho places that don't have them. i'm pretty much a regular there. read more

The Bánh cuon and chicken pho are my go-to staples here. The Bánh cuon is fresh and the portion is good but could use a little more filling however. The chicken pho broth is clean and not-oily unlike some other places. Sometimes, however, when ordering the pho, they cut the chicken pieces a little too think, and these pieces are also very dry. On a more positive note, there are no weird chicken pieces, they are all breast/white meat. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you haven't tried it yet. read more

I've hunted for the best Bun Bo Hue soup all over the GTA. I've tried other highly rated Pho restaurants including on Ossington and the joke of a place that is actually called "Bun Bo Hue". If you like real b.b.h. come here on weekends (b.b.h. is ONLY served on weekends) and prepare for the best you've ever had. read more

This place was okay.. There main pho bowl was not that great (pho dac biet) the type of pho that they give you is thick ones and it sucks. XL size and you only get 5 piece of small meat like cmon man read more

I've been coming to this Vietnamese restaurant for over 2 years. It has always been consistent. Solid food. Solid service. Will come again and again. read more

Best Vietnamese food. I always get the shredded pork vermicelli with spring rolls. Best spring rolls I have ever had. My boyfriend and I go all the time, it is totally worth the hour transit ride to try their banana tapioca. Never have been disappointed. read more

Hands down my favourite pho joint in Toronto. The plate of herbs, sprouts, and chilis alongside the pho is plentiful. The broth is aromatic and flavourful, and the portions are enormous. And if I don't feel like pho, there are always plenty of other great options, like the bun bo hue. The place is always packed at lunch, despite being less visible than its competitors on Ossington -- that says a lot. read more

My partner and I eat here at least once a month. Great pork chop, fried chicken and rice dishes and the pho is nice and flavourful! It never disappoints. read more

i love this place. the servers are really polite and they spoke english! the service is top notch i think, which is just the icing on the cake here. the food is really solid. the SO and i probably come here on a monthly basis, and it's out go to viet place. the broth here is so delicious. i normally add all the fixins at the table, hot sauce and hoisin to my broth, but here i can add the basil/mint, and a chili pepper and i'm good to go. it's a very clean tasting, complex broth. the drinks here are also very good: avacado shake is really good. we also get #12, which is a dish that i just started to eat since i discovered this place, despite me eating viet food for most of my life. i'm so happy other yelpers have pointed it out. my SO gets the vermacelli and he likes it a lot, they had no issues subbing out the pork for chicken either. deep fried spring rolls are pretty good, but not my absolute favorite, they arrive at the table a bit too burnt and greasy for me, but they still taste good. read more
