This place is particularly awesome because it exists in Durham region where there is such limited offering of good Vietnamese restaurants.

It was like it was missing the Vietnamese bouquet garni in the broth. Ordered a medium and the bowl was large but the actual pho noodles were lacking. The meat, tendon and tripe qty was okay..just give me more noodles. Also - personal preference on the noodles, I didn't like their selection, give me a thin dry rice noodle, these seemed like fresh noodles or they were over boiled. Service was fine and ambience hasn't changed in years. There are better places for Pho in Oshawa/Whitby but I wanted something close to where I was.

Pho broth lacks the deep flavour I hoped for, but the noodles are great and the toppings are abundant. I actually have switched to order the grilled chicken vermicelli (which is always a great portion and great flavour) and the Bun Bo Hue. The broth again lacks a bit of flavour, but the extra lemongrass definitely brings it up a notch. I'm not sure what Bun Bo Hue is suppose to authentically taste like so I can't quite comment there, but it tastes great and comforting. Good portion and perfect for a cold winter day!

We had at least 4 different people check on us - they're very attentive. The only complaint I have is that the butterfish maki wasn't quite as fresh as I would have expected - but it was still ok. Not my favorite fish, but my husband is a big fan. If I could give 4.5 stars I would have, so they get 5 because it was just a small thing and had never happened before. I had the teriyaki salmon dinner, and it was delicious and perfectly cooked. They also substituted hot and sour soup for the miso when I asked, at no extra charge, which was surprisingly nice. All in all, delicious food, fast service, even though everything is made to order. We really should go here more often than we do!

On weekends, they focus on takeout, and we were the only dine-in table at the time. The server didn't refill our water, and we had to request it.

Never had pho that would put chicken breast in it. Sadly, I won't return.

When we want Pho, often times we need very private, casual, therapeutic and homely comfort. We don't want to drive far as well. Hidden gem like Pho Sam is harder to find when Pho is becoming a boom, as restaurants can easily lose sight of the needs of individuals like us. This place is bright and clean and simple without over-essentializing decorations. Genuine. Refreshing as well. What makes here more special is their Bun rieu. Finding Vietnamese restaurants that serve this is difficult even in other parts of GTA - but Pho Sam has it here. Blessing. This place recharges my energy - feeling relaxed just like I am home. The owner and servers are friendly, attentive but not intrusive. Therapeutic. See you soon, THE Bun Rieu :)

Noodles were not crispy and super oily/ soggy - granted I ordered take out. It tasted like the soggy won ton chips in a noodle dish :S - Khao Soi- this had to be the most authentic tasting dish . I'm not a fan of curry and thought this tasted not bad. Portion again was smaller than other places we've been to - KHAO PAD KA PRAO- this tasted like Chinese fried rice with super dry as sand beef. Taste wise was not bad but not authentic Thai and not what I expected. Again not worth it for the price point $19
