I really enjoy the pho here, especially the satay beef pho. It used to be spicier and I find they have toned it down a bit, I wish they didn't but understand that it needs to accommodate those who can't have as spicy. Have tried a few other dishes: spring rolls, bun bo hue and viet coffee etc. Overall I would say for most things they are at least on par with the other pho places I would frequent. The servers are usually very friendly and strike up conversations when its not too busy. I would frequent this place since I have random cravings for their satay pho specifically. read more

Pho Metro - Bun Bo hue - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I loveeeee this place! Oh man the staff are super friendly and kind! The noodles are so bomb oh man. The smoothies *drools*. So this place is somewhat new to Markham maybe 1-4 months now I think... I could be wrong. This places pho is fantastic! I really love the noodles and the meat here! It's got that nice chew feeling when you eat a noodle! The smoothies oh man.. I don't even know where to start! The avocado is so nice and smooth! You can actually taste the avocado more then the cream! The mango smoothie is amazing! You can taste the sweetness of the mango and the sourness of it and wow it sure packs a punch! Definitely order this drink from now on! The parking lot is shared by lot of other small restaurants, but there is lots so don't worry! read more

Pho Metro - Phoooo - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I was in the mood to try a new Vietnamese restaurant that I haven't been to before. We were excited after reading all the high rating reviews for this restaurant so I convinced my husband to go. We were very impressed that the restaurant was owned and operated by Vietnamese people but were disappointed in the food from its authenticity. I do give it .5+ star for the staff friendliness. I ordered bun bo hue and while it tasted better than most in Markham but doesn't cut it for flavour and authenticity compared to others in west Toronto or downtown. My husband ordered rice dish with chicken (flavourful), but his BBQ beef was quite bland. The straw that broke the camel's back was we ordered 3 additional take out dishes for my family while we were still eating our food and yet after we finished eating we didn't get the food until 35 minutes later which we found was unacceptable. For that reason we won't be visiting again. read more

Hidden gem !!! This is a great place for Vietnamese food. The pho is the best in Markham. The spring roll is nice and crispy and it has taro !! I have not had spring roll for a while in Markham. We usually have pho and pork chop rice. The size is very good and I love the pho noodle soup is very hot! Service is excellent !!!! Must try in Markham!!! read more

Soup base is pungent and delicious. Noodles are good quality, thin and most importantly al dente. Beef is tender, even the well done beef. Like most agree, it's the best pho you can get in Markham. Huge variety of Vietnamese food and drinks. I love their Vietnamese ice coffee. Made this review short for our readers with A.D.D. like me. lol read more

My colleague keeps telling me how good Pho Metro is ever since I started here 2 years ago, but because their first store is located at Lawrence area, I never had a chance to go (too lazy to drive ALL the way from Markham to there). When I heard they opened up a store in Markham, I decided to come here right away! After a few visits, I have to say, the hype from my colleague was accurate. The pho is well-done here and it is actually opened by Vietnamese! Soup base is also very good, not too salty and the flavour is perfect. Beef is also very good so my go to choice is ALWAYS the Large beef flakes pho. Their fried spring roll is also pretty decent, although the size is a little smaller, but the taste is great. Looking for a quick pho place in markham? I highly recommend pho metro! read more

My friend and I decided to go to Pho Metro for a quick bite yesterday. She ordered a small special beef noodle ($7.25) and I ordered the chicken pad thai ($9.25) and we shared the small fresh chicken rolls ($5). Food was good. My friend seemed to like her pho, had no complaints. The portion seemed kind of small to me, but she didn't finish it. Then again, my friend is like 4'11. It looked like there was a decent amount of beef and other fixings in it. I liked that the pho came with a plate of fresh bean sprouts and basil. My chicken pad thai was a good portion. It was full of chicken and had basil leaves in it, which made it extra flavourful. My only gripe with it is that it didn't come with tofu. The chicken fresh rolls were good. Rolled tightly, so they didn't unravel as soon as I bit into them. It came with some sort of sweet peanut sauce, which the both of us really enjoyed. Service was quick and efficient. Had my water refilled quickly and food came pretty quickly after we ordered it. This place is more expensive than most other pho places. I can get a large pho for $7.25. Their lunch combos are $9.50+, while other restaurants in that plaza boast $5 lunch combos. It's not a smart price point considering most of their clientèle will be high school students. I've seen so many restaurants in that unit fail before. It will be interesting to see how long Pho Metro lasts. read more

I frequently go to the Scarborough location but this one is also really good. The pho isn't salty and has a good broth. My fav dish in general is Bun Thit Nuong and these guys make it the best. Although I've yet to have a bad one, this place makes it the best. They do close early for weekdays. read more

First time visiting yesterday, but won't be the last. My husband got rice with lemongrass beef, pork, chicken and a fried egg. It was delicious! The meats had a ton of flavor and the edges were crispy from the grill. I got the rare beef pho with glass noodles. I was happy that the beef actually came out mostly rare and there was a good amount of beef. My only (minor) complaint was that the broth was a little heavy in the cinnamon. Otherwise, loved it! read more

To feed my Vietnamese food craving, I decided to search up the best spots around me and Pho Metro seemed to have the best reviews. We went my aunt's family so as a group of 8, it's hard to find a place that satisfies all out needs. However, Pho Metro seemed to cater to each of our needs and that's a rare find. We just decided to get a bunch of different dishes and try it out. The deep friend spring rolls were perfect to start off with and for our main course we decided to go with the Pad Thai, the Vermicelli bowl, the Pork Chop Rice Dish, the Pho and the Fried Rice. Overall, the quality was great and the quantity is perfect for family style. The Pho in particular had a great soup base and the meat was great. For the pad Thai, the noodles always seemed to be clumped together which I thought was odd. The vermicelli bowl was what fed my craving and the beef in it was just perfectly flavoured. What really made me fall in love with this place is the service. Although it's a small family business, the young waiter we had was just a bundle of joy to deal with. He was very helpful and just had an awesome personality. When we under-ordered one of the apps, they had no problems getting us another one right away. One thing that I did find as an issue was with the Pad Thai, it seemed cold when they brought it out and that seemed a little odd. Not sure if they had just prepared it or it was done a little earlier so hence I gave the 4 stars. I would definitely come back here and I would recommend it to anyone else as well. read more

Standard pho in a convenient location. Glad that I was able to find a table even during peak lunch hour. The pho itself was good; standard price for expected quantity. I found the soup base mildly salty versus actually flavourful. However, the noodles were definitely fresh tasting and had a good texture. I was actually quite impressed with the meat to noodle ratio, as I am often used to ordering a large sized pho only to get more noodles and nothing else. But luckily, I was pleasantly surprised to find a fair amount of meat! The spring rolls were filled with Pork, shrimp, vermicelli and lettuce, and were accompanied by a light hoisin and peanut sauce. Overall, pretty decent pho location for a quick pho fix! read more

Had their grilled pork vermicelli - the pork is tasty but sliced really thin. The vermicelli was good, soft and tender.

Best of all to end the meal - their wicked ice coffee with condensed milk!! read more

+.5 for service I'm gonna unfortunately say this place isn't 4 stars compared to some of the reviews I'm seeing here. This restaurant is the same branch as the Pho Metro in Scarborough, but the menus are different. There's a couple more options here compared to the Scarborough branch, which honestly makes sense considering the abundance of Vietnamese restaurants in Markham. I ordered the Vietnamese beef stew noodle soup, while my dad ordered the rice noodle soup with chicken and satay sauce. My dad's bowl arrived first, and I would like to warn you if you try this bowl...the satay sauce is SPICY. My dad is very tolerant of spicy food and even he got taken aback to the point he had to ask for a cup of ice. The chicken is white meat and quite healthy, but the broth otherwise is nothing special. My Vietnamese beef stew had a delicious broth, but there wasn't enough in it. The rice noodles were clumped together, so I had to bring it up several times in order to spread out the noodles. Unfortunately the noodles absorbed the broth quite fast, so I only barely managed to finish it. The beef stew was delicious, and the mashed potatoes were a good addition to create that unique broth taste. Service was excellent and the waiter managed to explain the contents of some of the menu items quite well. However I would not be rushing to return here, as there are better Vietnamese noodle places in Markham. read more

Pho Metro originally started in a strip mall in Scarborough but has franchised to a couple of other locations including this one in Markham. We've always liked the one in Scarborough and came with the family to this one evening and I have to say the food is very consistent with the original. As I always do when I go to a new pho place for the first time, I ordered the pho special with rare beef, tripe, meatballs and tendon with the thin flat noodles. This pho here is very flavourful, noodles firm and with a good amount of meat to noodle soup ratio. Another thing thing that they make really well here is the Bun Bo Hue or Spicy Noodle Soup. The flavours for this is excellent and deep. The kids enjoyed their grilled chicken with rice combo and satay noodles as well. The only thing I don't like from them is the fried spring rolls which tastes great but on the tiny side:( Staff is very nice and attentive and the restaurant is very clean. Overall a great option as there's not a lot of good Vietnamese places around this part of Markham. Highly recommended! read more

Came here for lunch today. I'm not really a pho expert but decided to come because of the good reviews. I ordered a med special pho. The size was decent and I thought that it was good. Had enough toppings and soup base was ok. My husband ordered the bun bo hue. It looked nice and flavour was ok. The side plate of basil, beansprouts, cabbage and limes were really fresh but I missed the fresh chilli. Not as outstanding as I thought it would be, based on the other Yelp reviews. The best pho that I have ever had was in Paris, France. The soup base was amazing there. The service is excellent, if you speak English or Vietnamese (plus 1/2 * ) If you only speak Cantonese or Mandarin(like the table next to us), and don't know much English, then you're stuffed. They couldn't write their own order down properly or tell the staff what they wanted. I wouldn't really come back in a hurry but if I was in the area again and wanted some pho, I would return. read more

The owner or employee (male) is extremely rude. Prices are also quite high. I sometimes come here after work for my pho fix, although it is quite expensive compared to the other pho places nearby. The portions also aren't really that large, the small bowl is clearly not enough. If you really want a proper meal, I recommend the medium or large bowl, but that'll cost way more. I also ordered a mango slush with tapioca once, the owner gave me tapioca that was stone hard and was very warm to the touch. Overall, could've been better. There are undoubtedly better places nearby, wouldn't come again. read more

Came here couple weeks ago and thought my experience was mediocre. I came on a Tuesday night, so I wasn't expecting a lot of customers. Lo and behold it was quite busy, possibly because it's still new. I ordered a L beef brisket Pho, my typical order. The size was ok, definitely better than other places in terms of price to portion. The brisket was tender and fatty, just the way I like it. They only use dry noodles, which is a +1 in my book because Pho should not be the thick ho fun noodles imo. The soup base was rather bland, but not entirely bad. I still haven't found a replacement Pho restaurant that can compare to some of the ones in downtown and the West end. Although the food wasn't anything spectacular, the service was! All the staff were friendly and extremely well mannered - not surprised because they're Asian. I will be visiting this place more to try their other items. For now, 3 stars is sufficient. read more

This place is definitely one of the neighbourhood gems for vietnamese noodles that are actually good. Their noodles are perfectly cooked, i love their broth - my friend who is vietnamese vouches for this place, so I can only take her word for it and tried it myself, and yes, their broth is really really good - i can really taste the beef in it and it's a good quality broth that they used. SErvice is fast and friendly, the manager guy who runs the place likes to crack jokes but overall the environement is very chilled and we were in a rush this time and we were able to get out in about 20-30 mins and we were so thankful that the food came really quickly and the turnaround was fast. I'ts in my neighbourhood so i def intend to come back regualrly and try some of their other items.. but for starters.. their pho is legit :) read more

A decent pho place in Markham considering there aren't any pho restaurants in Markham. I ordered some spicy beef and pork noodle soup. Sadly the noodles weren't to my liking. Sure it's noodles but if it was the pho soup noodles it could have made the dish much better. The broth was good though. It tasted like lemon grass, satay, peanuts. I would come back to try other dishes. read more

I am so happy that there is a Pho Metro in Markham area now. Place was near empty on a Saturday evening but I'm guessing during the weekdays its slammed because of the high school which is nearby. Service was excellent and super friendly. I have never had better service in a Vietnamese restaurant. We also got 10% off the bill as they are still running their grand opening special which should be ending soon. Ice coffee with condensed milk $3.99 - tasted great but a bit small with a lot of ice. Vermicelli house special $11.50 - comes with grilled pork and deep fried spring roll. Large portion of meat with a fresh serving of veggies and noodles. The spring roll itself was nice and crispy but instead of being filled with so much noodles I would rather it be filled with more meat. read more

Apart from keeping the peanuts in my no-peanut order and almost sending me into an anaphylactic shock (not even joking about this, crisis adverted when my sister realized there were peanuts in it), their food is fairly decent in proportions and quite yummy. The noodles in the pad Thai were a little too hard for my liking but the amount of sauce was just right and not too ketchup-y. I think I still prefer their noodle soups though. Food aside, their iced coffee with condensed milk is so yummy!! It's definitely a must get. I've also tried their taro smoothie which wasn't nearly as good... The taste was way too sweet and artificial for my liking and I really couldn't finish nor touch it after two sips. I've had their rice rolls too, though it's lacking in taste and a little dry, even with the sauce. Overall, I'd keep it to the pho. Others aren't excellent enough to get a second time. read more

On vacation so we decided to have lunch at Pho Metro really missed all the staff there love their Covid protocols. Got checked in. We had to sanitize as usual, got our temperature taken, also they need us to provide name/phone# for contact tracing and they used take out containers instead of the dishes (I really don't mind at all especially during this situation). They have their protective shield for all the tables so it's really good after the customers finish eating they will sanitize the table and seating area. So well organized and clean. As usually the staff again are just so amazing read more

Pho Metro - P1. - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Pho is good everyday but especially on a cold winter night. Being so close to our house, we couldn't believe we hadn't checked out Pho Metro before. We had also been looking for a new pho place for a while since our old favourite unfortunately didn't do too well. Even though the prices are higher than other pho places, with Pho Metro's location and taste, I think we've found our new go-to. We ordered: 2 deep fried shrimp & pork rolls ($5.00) - these were pretty good but the sauce needed just a bit more flavour. Grilled pork chop with steamed rice ($8.99) - my parents and brother really liked it. It reminded us of a filipino dish the way the pork was marinated - it had a sweet taste to it. Grilled chicken, pork, & spring rolls with vermicelli and veggies ($10.50) - my mom liked the dish. Balanced with the veggies, sauce, and meat with spring rolls - & definitely a dish for the hungry. The special rice noodle soup with rare beef, beef balls, beef flank, & beef tripe (large - $9.25). It was really close to how our old fave pho place used to taste. Good soup base and noodles. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area and craving some pho. For a drink, I ordered the iced coffee with condensed milk ($3.99) - the coffee is pretty strong which I like and the condensed milk doesn't make the drink as creamy as you think it'd be. I wish it was a larger size for the price though! Overall, it's a solid restaurant with good food, a bit overpriced yeah, but the food, service, and nice ambience make up for it. Plus - if you live in this area, it's probably the closest yummy pho place around. Also - if you have a Vicinity card, they reward your meals with points for it. read more

50 Bur Oak Avenue, Unit 7 Markham, ON L6C 0A2 Date visited : Thurs April 12, 2018 My wife was craving a hot bowl of beef Pho, and we happen to be in the area after I had finished my last delivery for my Skip the Dishes shift. Service : 3/5 Service was relatively efficient, since it is an asian resto, friendliness of staff at time of our visit was mediocre. Since the time of our visit was around 4pm there were not that many people in the dining area. Food : 3/5 Just like to note that we are not experts on Pho by any means. On this visit, we ordered the medium sized beef brisket Pho (approx $10.00) for my wife, and I opted for the bowl of wonton noodle soup (approx $7.50). Both broths were good, tho the broth for the wonton soup was a bit salty in my opinion. For me, I found the wontons to be rather on the small side (mainly filled with pork, no shrimp), compensated by you receive like 8-9 of said wontons. I'm not really sure what the true texture of brisket beef is like, since we normally avoid beef (due to having to manage gout). The texture of the beef reminded me of sliced deli roast beef, from my days before I became burdened with Gout. For the price paid, it felt that the portion size was a it small for the noodle portion of the wonton noodle soup. I like my noodles!! Lol what can I say. Hence why we enjoy our visits to Origination Noodle House, Silver Star branch, (unlimited noodles). Seems for the price paid on the beef brisket Pho was a good value. My wife had almost a difficult time finishing her bowl of Pho, she polished off the noodles and brisket and I helped polish off most of the Pho broth. Beverages : 2/5 Ugh, the chinese tea we received, wasn't hot at all, along with being on the bitter side. We are being more careful nowadays when we request water at restos, since we don't know most of the time of the water quality. We are uncertain if restos are offering filtered water or straight tap water, unless it is posted. So, when we do remember, we try to bring water from home. We purchase Ice River water for our drinking water, we limit consumption of water from our tap even when filtered through a reverse osmosis system and then filter via a Brita. Since our water at home is softened by a sodium based softener system, we noticed a difference in taste in the water along with noticing an affect on my Blood Pressure. So if any of you foodies are worried about your Blood Pressure rising (you are on a controlled salt in-take) and can't figure out why? If you have a sodium based water softener in your residence, that may likely be the culprit. It was for us at least. I also noticed even with the double filtered water..I ended up drinking more..and I am limited to 2 L max liquid a day from my cardiologist..to avoid another case of edema in my legs. Apologies for the tangent on the water, but I feel that it is of importance to note. Hate to say, but at times when we are uncertain of the free water offering, we'll opt for a canned beverage instead. Other thoughts : For those foodies out there that have a Vicinity.ca membership, it is accepted at this Pho Metro location. Tho, I don't think we'll make a special trip to this Pho Metro, just for the Vicinity points. Sure, if we happen to be nearby. Just wish the Vicinity points were a joint pool of points instead of each resto having to collect/earn separately. This location seems priced less than its' sibling location near Warden and Lawrence. Repeat visits : Would we make a repeat visit? Yes, if we happen to be in the area. Since we reside on the more north eastern area of Scarborough, likely not to make a specific trip just for a bowl of Pho at this Pho Metro Payments : Debit, Credit & Cash read more

Got the pad Thai Came in a large portion, although they had bigger takeout boxes in picture here. The pad Thai had very little meat and ingredients 95% noodles. The taste was 7/10. Nothing amazing, was mainly sweet and curry flavoured. Not like pad Thai should be but it still tasted decent. It's more like Indian noodles Not enough sauce in the dish, the noodle stuck together like jello, there was only sauce and meat at the top. Portion wise it was 9/10, lots of noodles, just very little meat, was $15, so I expected more meat than a small handful. There was 6 pieces. read more

So this place is literally under 5 mins from my house. Never had the chance to try it as our usual place is in the opposite plaza.. My friend invited me here for lunch, so I decided to check this place out...the lunch special is a steal.. For $9.50, you get a small pho, a spring roll and a pop...definitely can't go wrong there...the pho broth was pretty good, I didn't feel super thirsty afterwards due to the msg...so I was quite impressed by it... Came back the second time, the week after, decided to try to bun rieu, and I was so disappointed, it was extreme sodium, couldn't taste a thing besides the sodium....that's when it went for 4** to 3.5...we order the egg roll with some side veggies, forgot what it was called but the real Vietnamese version is supposed to be filled with shrimp or seafood...they gave us a whole lot of bean sprouts...mehh.... All in all, just come for the pho and you'll be good... read more

To be fair, I usually frequent the sister and original location at Warden and Lawrence. This is the best pho in Markham, however the food is not as good as its sister's. My usual order from the other location is the grilled chicken pho and upon my order here, I found the chicken to be over cooked (a problem I've never had at the other) and then both also was not as flavourful. Unfortunately, my order was a takeout and upon my arrival at home I found almost all the basil to be wilted, browned and even slimy and having an odour on some leaves. I love my basil in my pho and I often ask for extra, which they generously provide me with and I appreciate. Not having any basil may have negatively biased my review. The restaurant, however is much larger and nicer and the parking lot is a lot more manageable. The staff are just as nice as at the other location, which I always appreciate. Overall, I will probably give this place another shot as it is significantly closer to me than the Scarborough one. I'll update my review when I do. read more

I don't remember the last time I had to wait for a table at a pho place, but that's what happened here on a Friday night. Heard good things about this place after being let down by a couple of pho places in the Markham area, so seeing this place packed was a good sign. Was not disappointed. Got the raw beef with beef balls. Kitchen is run by Viet staff. When it comes to pho, broth is important. Broth was beefy and not too salty; could taste it wasn't full of MSG. Noodles were plentiful and nicely cooked. 4/5 read more

This is not the best Pho restaurant, however, due to limited selection for Viet restaurants in the north end of Markham, this is a decent choice. Pho broth is flavourful, however, they use the dry Pho noodles instead of the fresh one which is a bit disappointing. Staff seemed friendly. Food arrived quickly. I would come back for Viet cravings as its close by. read more

I love Pho Metro!!! I am SO used to the train head pho place which started off as a student budget-friendly joint but now has degraded to meh-priced meh-quality food. Pho Metro? Such a breath of fresh air. Especially since most of the food places in the PET plaza are either dingy or franchises. Pho Metro is a high quality viet restaurant with excellent service, food, and take-out options. Their menu is fairly simple. They have S, M, L phos, two types of vermicelli, rice options, stir fry options, and typical viet apps like rice rolls and mango salad. Prices are fair too! A large pho which can adequately feed 2 is $9 ish and there's a good serving of meat, bean sprouts, lime, hoisin sauce, and all that phoey jazz. Broth doesn't seem to have MSG, but I am still a bit skeptical. I also need to give a huge shoutout to their chicken dishes! Marinated VERY nicely. Anything with the chicken (ie. chicken bun, or chicken rice roll) is really tasty. 4/5! Great stuff but not mindblowingly amazing. read more

Before I can here, I've always heard my BF tel me how amazing the pho is at Pho Metro but at the Lawrence location. So when he heard there was one in Markham, he suggested that we go for lunch. I agreed and off we headed towards Pho Metro! Upon arrival we were told we can seat ourselves so we did and the waiter promptly gave us tea. We ordered the fresh roll with shrimp and pork. It was really "fresh" as the name implies! I devoured an entire roll immediately! It was so good! Our special pho arrived as well and it smelled divine! The soup base was flavourful! I was pleasantly surprised by how flavourful it was! I am now in agreement with my BF that Pho Metro is the best! The portion of noodles given in the small bowl was more than enough. The beef, beef brisket, tripe and tendon were so good! I'm salivating until I can come back again!! I love pho so much!!! Service was friendly and fast!

The Pho here is good, but not incredible. I am not sure if it is the same owners as the previous Despite the food at Xe Lua not being so good, I was sad to see them move from their location at Kennedy. I always went there so it was somewhat sentimental. Anyways, Pho Metro will do as a replacement! First I will go over the Positives. Firstly, it is a newer restaurant so the inside is pretty nice. Most of the vietnamese restaurants I have visited were a little bit more "run down" in nature. The second thing I really liked is that they don't add cilantro into their soup. I HATE cilantro so its really annoying for me when I forget to request "no cilantro". I spend like 5 minutes picking it all out! LOL. Third, the table was set out really well. Chopsticks, spoons, napkins, condiments and condiment bowls- everything you need is there for you in large quantities. That way, if you drop a chopstick or need another napkin, you can easily grab one! Lastly, the beed and noodles in the soup were very good. The noodles were not overcooked and the beef was tender. Now the negatives of Pho Metro. Firstly, the pho broth is not overly salty which is great for me, but in fact it is little bit too under-seasoned as it tastes much like a bland stock. Another negative is that there is no beef tendon available in the soups! I usually make sure to include everything- tendon, tripe, flank etc. so this was a little bit disappointing. I had also tried the rice paper rolls, but they were not that great for me. If you are not a fan of mint like me, you will not like these. Next time I visit, ill be sure to let them know. For me, the flavour of the food is of paramount importance. It is only fair that I give 3 stars because of the experience. Essentially, the ratings on yelp do not correlate with the experience that I had here. Although there were great attributes, they mostly lay in the quality of service and comfort. Unfortunately, the food that I tried just wasn't incredible- good, but not incredible. read more

Look, a lot of reviews especially when it comes to pho places is about the smallest little details. Now having eaten pho a few times but not a whole lot recently, the is place was very refreshing. Atmosphere, nice and comfortable. The typical Chop sticks, spoons hoison, sriacha, chili, etc. Fresh basil and bean sprouts as well. So the same for a lot of pho places. Lots of different items but their pho is very nice. The traditional mixed beef pho is delicious, good broth, lots of meat. Love the spring roll they have, very large, lots of pieces and tastes great. Would go here again as it's tremendous value and a nice one for me living in Stouffville. About 10-12 min away. read more

This used to be our go-to place. Amid the Covid pandemic we really wanted to keep supporting the business but the last several orders have shown diminishing quality, quantity and inconsistent pricing practices, and have now turned us away. The prices went up in general (which we're ok with given the current environment) however we ordered a different TYPE of noodle for 2 of our orders, they charged us an extra $7, the next time they charged us $10!!?? We also paid (quite a bit) extra to get more meat and tofu...but got exactly the same as typical orders. The rolls have gotten super expensive and are smaller now. The rice soups that were once rich in flavours, are now bland. We may give them one more chance in the future (and screenshot the receipt and food) for others to decide. read more

First time here. Homey authentic Viet restaurant that's around Kennedy and 16. Ordered special noodles and raw beef noodle Ph tái. I like the taste of the broth, importantly it was really hot when it comes out. Beef was ordered rare but when it come out it's kind of cooked mainly they pour hot soup on top of the beef and noodles instead of adding beef after soup. The bánh ph (rice noodles) are just simply the dried ones you eat at a normal pho place except a bit softer in texture. Prices are ranging $7-15/pp. Normal prices as other viet restaurants. I would come back for some pho for a quick fix around this area and didn't want to travel too far on a stay in- hoodie and sweat pants kind of evening. read more
