    Been here before. Their second location with a different type of decor. More modern. Plenty of seating. The staff there are friendly and helpful in suggesting great dishes. My go to is their chicken vermicelli. Huge portion and always great. The beef salad was delicious and flavourful. The squid pomelo salad lacked something for me. The soft-shelled crab noodle dish was unexpected with thick noodles and thick soup base. It got too salty for me. I wished it came with rice noodles. For dessert, we got sesame balls with coconut ice cream. It was ok. It felt more of a Chinese dish than Vietnamese. Overall, it was wonderful to try some new dishes with great friends. Love Viet food!!

    We have been going to the Mississauga location and we thought to visit the new Etobicoke location. The restaurant is very nicely decorated, it's new, shiny. It's definitely not the typical ambience you expect at a pho restaurant. The service is great. We really like the manager there. He used to work in the Mississauga location and we missed him in the OG spot. However, I would say the food isn't as good as the OG location. The pho broth isn't as flavourful, we were slightly disappointed. Overall still a great experience at this location!

    Authentic Vietnamese cuisine, you know it's real when you order by the number and/or photos of the food on the menu. The pho soup was great, not particularly a fan of the dark meat, but it was good and I'd try the beef pho next time.

    Tips: - Make a reservation on Yelp. It works great, with a couple of reminders before the actual time and date. - The hours of operation are confusing and outdated on Pho Ngoc Yen's site. Google has the correct hours of operation that it's closed every Tuesday. Last Tuesday, my documentation manager of roughly fourteen years was let go of his work duties. After this bombshell landed, I went to work planning his farewell luncheon. I had 24 hours to get things done. I wish I had more time. I asked him where he'd like to go. He said Pho Ngoc Yen. The original location is roughly a six-minute drive from work. I looked at the hours of operation. It was closed on Wednesdays. This second location in Etobicoke was open on Wednesday. My manager looked at its web site. On the same page, it said that this location was both open and closed on Wednesdays. Ugh! Don't trust its online site. It's outdated. Google maps said that the hours of operation had been updated two weeks ago. I made a test reservation for six people, which was accepted for last Wednesday. I also went to its Instagram account and got a reply to my message almost immediately, confirming that it's open six days a week at the Etobicoke location, with Tuesday being their closed day. One word: Yay! My test reservation was the reservation. Six folks at noon on Wednesday. My manager wanted an intimate farewell. I respected his wish. Sadly, I got scolded by a project manager who wanted to go and kept saying that I wasn't following protocol. I will keep it simple here. I abide with what the guest of honour wants. It has nothing to do with what you want. My friend drove me and another colleague down to the restaurant. It was formerly The Grille. There was plenty of parking. My friend parked. I got a phone call from our manager. He saw my car in the parking lot and thought I was still at the office. My other colleague in the car, who has never driven me anywhere, thought that I was driving down here. I drive all the time. Folks take that for granted. It was interesting to see it happen this day. My friend was kind to give me a driving break. My manager got locked out of our office floor. He got a temporary badge instead. He was coming down soon. We went in to the eatery. I spoke to the nicest man at the podium. I said my name and my reservation time. He welcomed us and sat us at booth number 18. He asked if any of us had allergies. One colleague is vegetarian, so she let him know. Our manager, my friend, and another colleague gradually filed in. We spent a good two hours enjoying our food and company. We got hot tea to start. It was delicious. It was looseleaf tea with a ton of flavour. Staff were great refilling our teapot with hot water and catering to our needs. Highly responsive. We had menus, a pen, and a piece of paper to write down what we wanted. I started first and the ordering continued with everyone. We got these items as a group: - Lime juice soda - Large rare beef and beef ball pho - Mock beef with veggies and rice - Pad thai - Vermicelli with vegetarian spring rolls - BBQ chicken and fried egg with broken rice - Mango milkshake - Vietnamese coffee I got the first two items. The lime juice soda was excellent. I could drink jugs of it. It had the perfect tartness from the lime juice and was fizzy. It was refreshing and perfect. My go-to order is the rare beef and beef ball pho. This eatery makes the best pho broth. It was full of flavour and body. The noodles were perfect. I got a generous amount and number of rare beef and beef balls, respectively. I loved the bean sprouts, mint, and lime wedge. I squeezed the lime wedge in. My manager got mint with his pad thai. He doesn't like mint, so I took it all and added it to my pho. My pho was even better... haha! He loved his meal. It was such a large portion that he needed to box it up. My friend polished his BBQ chicken and fried egg with broken rice dish quickly. It looked like he had licked his plate clean. My other friend loved her vermicelli with vegetarian sprint rolls. It was massive that she also needed a box. Frankly, we all loved our food. The quality continues to be superb. I collected money the day before towards our manager's farewell gift. I made a brief speech, which was bittersweet. I presented a card and goodies, which he seemed touched and moved. We were able to split our bill on a Wednesday. You can't on a Friday and some other day. I paid for my meal and my manager's. The funds from everyone covered his meal. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was good. I needed to use the washroom before heading back to work. The women's washroom was impeccably clean. No complaints here. The decor was beautiful. I like how spacious this eatery is compared to the original one. Thanks to everyone at this eatery for making my manager's farewell luncheon a memorable one with great food and drinks. I'd personally return for more good eats and drinks. (445)

    Got vermicelli bowl with pork, spring roll, some veggies. It was pretty tasty. Spring roll was crunchy and filled with content. Sauce paired well with dish. As you can see it's a good amount of pork. They don't skimp on quantity. I got this take out but the place was packed when I got my order. Service was quite friendly. They gave me refills of water and were quite polite. For how busy it was, it was well maintained. Would come back if in the area

    We haven't visited in a few months and their menu keeps growing every time! Love everything we eat here every time. Service is quick and friendly and the place is well decorated although a little loud sometimes. This is my favorite place in the area so if I'm nearby it will likely be a stop here.

    Recommended! Huge interior, beautiful decor, the scent if grilled meat greets you as you near the spot. Huge portion of foods, the staffs are beautifully dressed, quick cleanup, and the food tastes great! Only feedback: 1. They have soooo many staffs just waiting that they're just too quick to remove any plates, which can borderline feels rushed, 2. If you are sat near the ends, staffs waiting to serve can feel almost hawkeyed (a hard balance I know) but I remember what the folks at another spot does well is they'll have their staffs wait discreetly and come by when it's welcomed. Overall a great spot.

    Although from the name, you would think they are famous for their Pho but it's not the case. This is a high end restaurant with decor, lot of staff to service, and a huge patio dining area. Lots of items on their menu. Since it was dinner time, we opted for most of the family style dishes with a few noodle dishes mixed in to try. Their egg rolls include a generous portion of vegetables (although good, just not my style; I prefer the Chinese style vs the Vietnamese style as they can be too dense with meat filling) The fried calamari is good, but go for their mango salad that's served with shrimp chips. Prices are reasonable and inline with other places but when you factor in their huge portion and high end service, it makes this place a bargain. If you're not accustom to traditional Vietnamese food, bring someone that is as the food can require some assembly to appreciate the flavor profile.

    Ate here this evening. If you are a fan of Vietnamese and some Thai food then this is a great spot. The pricing is very reasonable, the service is quick and the food is tasty.

    This is a very popular Vietnamese restaurant in Etobicoke for a reason. Once you walk in you will notice the nice interior with huge trees and fancy tables with tablecloths on top. You order with a sheet and they tell you to write any allergies on top of the order sheet. I got the P4 (L) beef balls and rare beef and this was very good. I loved how they gave me a bunch of noodles and beef. I had a good 10+ beef balls in my pho. The rare beef they use was also very fresh (luckily the pho broth was hot enough to cook the rare beef). I really enjoyed my food today and I'd come back just for it.

    This is probably my favourite Pho restaurant. Portions are HUGE and hard to finish, but everything is always so so good. The passion fruit juice is to die for.. honestly can't come here without getting one. My favourite dish here is the BBQ chicken with broken rice. They are always busy here and always kind of loud due to it being so busy, but it's still a great place to go.

    I've been going to their original Mississauga location for years and this was my first time checking out the new spot. I'm happy to say the quality and service are just as good here. This has always been my go-to when sharing Vietnamese food with friends and family, and it's the first place I think of for group dinners because everyone always leaves happy. We ordered pho, a fried rice dish, and some Viet coffees. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and comforting. Portion sizes are generous and the price point feels very reasonable for what you're getting. I've tried a lot of pho spots in the GTA but this one always stays near the top for me. The ambiance totally matches the vibe of their original location with plants and pretty lights that make it feel warm and welcoming. Service was friendly and attentive and the food came out quickly. They're also doing a customer appreciation promo right now where you get 10% off if you pay cash. Overall, it's rare to find a place that's this consistent over the years and that's why it's always been one of my top recommendations for Vietnamese food.

Their menu offerings are delicious , so fresh you can see everything being prepared in the kitchen .It is different variety of dishes than most Vietnamese spots Where as many of the other Vietnamese restaurants I've been to have pad Thai it's not on this menu. The meats are very tender. The prices I think are quite reasonable for the portions that you get and so far the wait for a table has been no more than 10 minutes. I hate to recommend this place although it is in a shopping mall I guess there is at least a lot of parking and there's a rollup ice cream place just a few doors away as a option for something other than mango or rice pudding I think for the dessert choices. And a pet peeve of mine that seems more restaurants are doing , I don't understand the logic behind it, but they don't do separate billing on weekends it seems to be a thing happening at More and more restaurants so one person has to take on paying the bill and then chasing down people to get their payment, which is a bit of a drag and that will likely be why we will only go on a weekday

It does get really loud in there though but that's expected when it's super busy. I've tried most of the food on their menu except for the broken rice dishes and some of the appetizers, I mostly come for the pho so would definitely come back to try the other dishes.
