Pho Real has amazing food and service! I will definitely be becoming a regular here (been twice now)...very friendly, attentive staff, food comes out quick, great portions, and clearly fresh and authentic. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. While I liked the food and I liked the fact that they offered more than just the traditional Vietnamese places I hesitate to say the price is worth it. But I don't think it's overpriced either. We got pho and the braised pork belly with egg and rice. While the pho tasted really good and so did the pork belly, the pork belly portion could have been bigger. And even though the pho was good I know many places that make an amazing pho and while I like the fact they offer the pork belly and it's something different, I wouldn't say it's craaaazyyyy good especially being 12 dollars (which is high for a casual Vietnamese restaurant). I liked the frozen grapes it's a nice touch:) I would go back if I was okay to spend the money and the location is convenient since there aren't any good pho restaurants down my street. read more

Pretty good Pho, definitely not the best in the area but the restaurant itself is pretty nice. That being said, I think you're paying for the decor because while the Pho is alright, paying $12 for a small with tip is a bit much. If you're going with people that aren't familiar with Pho it would be a good choice, otherwise the other places in the area are better in quality and value read more

Last time I was here, I went with my parents and siblings. Decor is nice which is what you are paying for. Food was good but on par with other Vietnamese restaurants. Their 7 beef was double the price of the 7 beef elsewhere. The service was incredibly slow. I was expecting better service with the price tag. It is still a good price for dinner but not for vietnamese food since most restaurants are so well priced and quick. read more

Took 20 minutes for anyone to take my order, then took another 35 minutes to receive my order. I got vermicelli with grilled pork and seafood egg rolls. $11.00. It was the usual deal, didn't blow me away. Bangkok Saigon Noodle in Bradford is my usual spot and is much better than this place, and cheaper at $8.00. I won't return because I can't wait this long on my lunch break. read more

Worst service ever. Came here with a friend we gave our order, when getting the order there was a simple mistake, we got a salad instead of a soup. We told the waiter about it and he said the soup is extra charge, I said it's extra if I get both.. but I ordered the soup. He responds no you didn't you order salad next time be more specific with your order. I wanted to punch him in the face but since I'm in Canada and not Russia I held my cool. A while later a couple came in and we're sat down at a small table. They asked the waiter if they can have a bigger table because they order a lot and there's no room on the small tables. He said no we need to keep the tables empty in case we get customers. Keep in mind the place was dead. We were the only ones there. After going back and forth he agreed to give them a bigger table next to us. The couple next to us wanted to start with tea and water, witch is very common, the waiter said no sorry you can only have water OR tea not both. They laughed because they thought he was joking, they girl said but I want tea and water? He said ok there will be 2 dollars charge for the tap water. First and last time I go to this over priced horrible serviced place. read more

The owners are lovely and clearly take pride in what they do. Their food is delicious; the broth is very flavourful and meat is of good quality. Frozen grapes as a pallet cleanser is a nice touch! read more

Nothing special here. The Pho is probably less than average and the service was also moderate. Probably won't come back since there's a lot of other options in the area. My girlfriend also found her vermicelli very dry and lacking taste. They can definitely do better. read more

A bit pricey but their foods are fresh and extremely delicious. Love their clay pot dishes, Spicy soup (Bun bo hue) and Banh dap thit nuong.

Rude waiter! First he got my order wrong then when I correct him, he was extremely rude, clicking his tongue and rolling his eyes

Decent. Not stunning. Clean place. Price is relatively high. Food is comparable to other pho places

If looking for cheap viet food then not the place but if you want something with quality and don't mind paying a little extra then this is the place to go. The pho and other typical fare is good but try some of their creative options like the spareribs. My go to place on the north end of Toronto. read more

we are always in search of great Vit food and were looking forward to eating here. We wanted to like this place so much but could not. We arrived at 6:30 pm on a Saturday and it was empty, but the waiter rushed us over and over to order, just told us to order 2 orders of each spring roll appetizers "bc they are soooo popular", he didn't realize we were asking about other items. He actually attempted to force us to order what he wanted!! we told him no, then we ordered our mains and again he rushed us, told us to eat this or that, did not care what we wanted. food came out and some of the flavours were great - fish sauce chicken wings and bun ca the soup ones. You can skip the soft shell crab and spring roll appetizers , was blah and wrapped by the cheap rice paper. He advertised the restaurant as "very special and totally different and better than the usual Pho Day Bo" etc were his exact words. Why did he assume we don't like the usual authentic Vit food, how presumptuous of him. So we don't care for the "special" spin of Vit food if it wasn't great and they were nothing special. You can also skip the pork belly rice and bun Ba Mau, also nothing special. The dish I got I liked, the mi kho beef, the dry egg noodle with spicy beef, served in a sauce. The top layer had sauce and it was good but 2/3 of the noodle under were totally dry and bland, so I asked him for some more sauce. He said no (??!), his exact words were "the cooks in the kitchen are too busy now with the other tables and don't have time to make you that sauce" - hilarious! Never in our lives have we heard of such a response. Yes there were other tables now but what?! we politely said ok, and pushed the dish aside. Guess he saw it and felt bad so he sent some more sauce at the end after the noodles are cold. How unfortunate. We didn't even bother with dessert which looked interesting and left. We will never ever go back there and would never recommend it. And I was so proud of the thought do someone trying to heighten vietnamese food - it's not quite there yet and pricey, not worth the hit and miss flavours, rude service and remote location. read more

Clean, modern, and excellent service. Food above average with slight twist. Price kind of high for VNmese food. Dessert is ordinary but obscenely priced even higher than the Ritz Carlton or Four Seasons. I'm sure that's why place is virtually empty on Sat 1pm. read more

Authentic Vietnamese food from all regions in semi fine dining setting. Unique dishes such as 7 types of beef dish, turmeric grilled fish, clay pot rice, etc. Weekend specials and unique deserts are worth a try. Restaurant is spacious, modern and clean. Service is impeccable! read more

This place is extremely over rated, the food was marginally above average at best, the cashier is incompetent of splitting bills ended up charging us 1 dollar extra. The server was sassy, and the service was tortoise like, it took like 30 minutes to get my pho (we were only one there), I will not recommend this place to anyone whatsoever, I do not understand the hype behind this place, you failed once more Yelp, SMH read more

This is our go to pho. Clean restaurant, run by honest family who work hard. I love P5 pho and their chicken rice clay pot. Always have a good bowl of pho never been letdown. read more

This is my new favorite Vietnamese restaurant. I briefly met Mr. Nguyen, the owner and this is clearly a family affair, which shows across the board: - food: several appetizers, curry, vermicelli noodles with sea food, pot crispy rice with pork belly. Everything was awesome! Not just well prepared but the quality of the food is obvious. - decoration: nice with lots of small details - place: super clean everywhere, well maintained. read more

The place looks great. The seafood spring rolls were really good but the pho was just ok.

Just okay. Maybe it was just what I had ordered. I tried the lemon grass chicken with rice and it was way too salty with a hint of sweetness. Not a good combination. read more

For the price, its good food. Very authentic Vietnamese. They have alot of variety on the menu. As do most Vietnamese places. Staff was very helpful and thankful. Had the tenderloin lemongrass w/ rice vermicelli. And springrolls. Great. Becoming a regular spot. read more

Finally!! There's an authentic pho restaurant close by to home!! My family and I used to travel all the way from Vaughan to Jane/Wilson area just to eat pho because all the pho around this area was lacking -_- My parents - born and raised in Vietnam - are SO picky with their pho. They were shocked to be paying $11.50 for a large bowl of pho here, BUT the food was so authentic that it justified the price. Another reason why it's worth every penny is the broth is clear and NOT full of fat. TIP: Try the BUN BO HUE here! This dish was just PERFECT - full of spices & flavour!! If you don't like it too spicy, you can tell them to make it less spicy. read more

We live this place. Family run business and the food is made with love and is fresh and delicious. They do take out or sit down and are licensed. The restaurant is very clean and comfortable. Service is quick. I recommend the spring rolls!! read more

This is best place for pho in Toronto. With so many pho places in Toronto. I think this the best thing I can say about them

The first time I went to this place, the service was amazing. I decided to come back again this week and the service was really bad. When I requested for service from a male server, he refused my request to do a simple task (asking for a napkin), he didn't even bother asking me l what I wanted and rudely pushed me off to another server and told me to wait. Although the ambiance for a pho restaurant is nice. The food taste and the presentation is ok. read more

Great spot for pho! Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. I'm super picky about where I get my pho from- especially the broth. If the broth isn't good, then the whole meal is a fail for me. Pho Real is a great alternative to my regular place that's mins away from my place, and I'll definitely come back if I'm in the area and I got a pho craving. At the end of our meal my friend, who was visiting from Italy, was googling places where he's from to figure out where he'll be able to get pho again cause he loved it that much! read more

YES, this place is PHO Real.... Wow I come here often, at least once a week, sometimes twice. I'm currently sitting here at Pho Real after consuming a large Pho-rare-tenderloin and let me tell you....WOW. I said to myself I need to write something about this place. This is by far the best place to eat Pho. I do eat this delight in other Viet Restaurants just to keep things in perspective and every time I do I say to my self why did I come here. No other Pho compares to that of Pho Real in Vaughan. The Broth is Unreal, very rich in flavor like no other. As somewhat of a cook myself I can tell they only use all natural and top line ingredients to create this masterpiece. This place is extremely clean too! Try it.. You'll see. read more

It has the real taste of pho but price is way too high.

We usual get the bun no hue special which come with tasty fish and crab patties. I would rate this dish as 4 out of 5 stars. The pho with rare beef and beef balls is a hit for the kids and the both seems authentic. We ordered the vermicelli with grill meats and that was not too good and would not recommend it. read more

The customer service at this place was atrocious. My friends and I visited to have dinner here and were greeted with frustration after indicating we had a larger group when the restaurant was not busy. Following the group arriving, the owner and server was incredibly rude to everyone for rearranging tables to accommodate a larger group so everyone could sit together. Food was subpar as well. First and last time to this place. read more

The pho broth was not hot enough in my opinion, but the decor and restaurant was clean. Quick service and the prices were slightly pricier than most pho places. read more

We love the pho here! The service is pretty amazing too; I drive 20 minutes just to pick some up and there are 4 other pho places within walking distance of me. read more

This is by far the best Pho restaurant not only in Vaughan but also the GTA. I'm Vietnamese and have grown up eating authentic Vietnamese food. I've tried most of the Pho restaurants in the GTA and can say without a doubt that Pho Real is definitely the "Real" thing! The broth is rich in flavour and the meat is truly tender (without the tenderizing chemical taste that many other Asian restaurants tend to have). The service is exceptional! They really cater to the needs of their customers - not like many of those apathetic attitudes that are usually associated with other Viet pho places. I've tried many of their other dishes: spring rolls, soft shell crab, chicken wings (fish sauce flavoured - only place I know that actually serves this dish anywhere - you would find this dish if you were to travel to Vietnam), vermicelli noodles, and of course their desserts. Whatever you order, you need to save room for desserts because they are amazing! Don't let their location deter you from coming to Pho Real! It may be located admist industrial strips, but there is nothing bland about this place! Many have commented on the price - but you truly pay for what you get! read more

Really good Pho - the broth tastes like they use more beef bones than just seasoning. The Bun is also very good will definitely be back when in Vaughan. read more

the food is great. their customer service is trash. It was around 8 and there were maybe 4 other cutomers in the restaurant. Went there with 3 families including myself and asked if we could combined the tables. The server said no, "they arent like mandarin where we can move tables anywhere you want". We asked if its possible to put chairs on the end of the tables and he insisted our families with multiple children would have to sit separately. One of the children ran near him while he was serving and he gave the child a stare and starting shaking his head in frustration. Very rude describing the options as well. I loved the food but dont step outta line with this particular server. read more

Honestly could not say enough about this place. Food quality is fantastic, atmosphere is quaint and dainty, the service is quick and you always feel welcome. Vegan options are available, (always a plus in my book) and waiters will gladly help navigate the menu. The spring rolls are my weakness, order them for take out on my way home every time. Definitely recommend. read more

I've been to this pho real many times and always have an okay stay and pho, but I had the worst experience with one of the waiters, let me remind you there is only 2... my boyfriends sister asks for a mango cheesecake and the waiter comes back with a smoothie and gets upset when she corrects him, not only that he lied to us and said there was no more after she corrected him. Later on the "owner" I'm guessing apologized for his behaviour even called him lazy and said he would "make us" a cheesecake in the back. I thought that psycho path would've been fired but I went back and noticed he wasn't... something has to be done about this man read more

We ordered the pork belly clay pot rice, pho and spicy noodle soup. The clay lot rice was amazing! The rice was slightly crispy and the poem belly was extremely fragrant. The soup in the pho also tastes very rich and flavourful, how're the beef was a little too over done for my taste. We needed the meal with their durian gelato which is definitely worth a try! read more

IMHO, these guys have the best pho broth in Woodbridge/Vaughan. The noodles are perfectly done and the meat is obviously high quality - tender and delicious. Highly recommended! read more

Really nice people working there. Great food and amazing flavours. Really good service. The restaurant is really clean, chefs in the back wearing hair nets. read more
