    This is my go to pho restaurant. The pho is always fresh and satisfying. It's a nice restaurant that feeds you all the warm comfort food, especially on a cold day. I ordered the chicken and beef special. The meat was very flavorful, you can taste the lemongrass marinade. This restaurant won't disappoint you. If you are in the neighborhood and in the mood for Vietnamese food check them out.

    "a clean place! Nice atmosphere!" What time we arrived/Wait time? Went for lunch and there was no wait! wipee! Atmosphere? Atmosphere is clean, neutral coloured, and pleasant. Some pho places feel dirty but this place is awesome. You feel welcomed there and you feel like all the food is quality. Service/Staff? Service is great. Got 10% from yelp for checking in there! Food/Menu/Pricing? The food is great. I got a regular pho noodles/soup and it tasted fresh and clean. Everything you'd expect and a little more :)

    $10 P1 Pho Dac Biet
    Christine Q.

    Short version: Everything was amazing except for the food and not accepting credit card. Long version: After a stressful day, I crave comfort food, and today it was pho. As this is relatively close to work, I decided to check it out. I was encouraged (because authentic pho restaurants tend not to want to accept CCs) but hesitant when I saw the cash or debit only sign. The servers inside kindly told me there was no minimum I had to spend to use my debit card, for which I was grateful. I was seated in a dining room with modern decor, kept incredibly clean, and given an easy to navigate menu with items described in English, Vietnamese, and Chinese. The servers were super sweet, even helping me when I struggled to connect to WiFi. The atmosphere, service, and cleanliness here are top notch. However, I care more about the food. I ordered the regular sized Pho Dac Biet, which is $10. The size was smaller than usual for the price. I got a measly 2 slices of beef, 1 piece of tripe, 1 piece of tendon, and 2 tiny beef balls. The broth tasted like something out of a can, completely lacking in depth of flavor. It filled me up, but it was not pho-nomenal. I would recommend this place to introduce pho to people that have high expectations for service and cleanliness, but not for people looking for serious flavor at an affordable price.

    Beef ball and rare beef pho

    It's hard to find a decent Vietnamese restaurant in North York, so I'm pretty glad I stumbled into Pho Saigon St. on a random Saturday night. We ordered some crispy tofu and shrimp wontons to start, along with a bowl of beef ball and rare beef pho and a chicken and pork rice dish for our mains. And of course, I had to have my Vietnamese coffee over ice. The pho and rice dish were good. Solid quality, great flavours, affordable, and really hit the spot. Same goes for the shrimp wontons. What really gave us pause was that crispy tofu, my goodness, where do I even begin? Great flavours and textures, huge portions for appetizer prices, and it had me wanting to eat more even though I was already quite full. We ended up also ordering the garlic and basil chicken wings as well, and the tenderness of the chicken and crisp and flavourful batter on the outside were delightful and completely unexpected from a quiet little Vietnamese joint near Bathurst and Steeles. If we hadn't been so full, we might have kept ordering the rest of the appetizer menu just to complete our tour of the menu. I'm fairly happy to have found a new Vietnamese joint to frequent in North York, and I can't wait to come back and try out more of the menu.

    I came into Pho Saigon St with my dad after reading the reviews on Yelp and after hearing it from my friend who claimed: "this was the best new pho restaurant in the area". My dad and I got seated right away and we ordered the Bun Bo Hue, crispy spring rolls and a bowl of house special Pho. 15 minutes passed and we first got our spring rolls. These were really delicious! Probably what I love most about this restaurant. They are extremely crispy, freshly made and it also comes with a large chunk of pickled carrot, which was also refreshing to cleanse our palate. Five minutes after we got our spring rolls, we got a large bowl of pho and a small bowl of pho. My dad and I were confused since we never ordered the large bowl of pho - we ordered the Bun Bo Hue. So we notified the waitress that there must have been a mix-up and she said she'll double check for us about our order. About five minutes or so went by and the waitress never got back to us about the status of my dad's bowl. In fact, she was taking other people's orders and didn't look us in the eye as she walked by our table. It was only after another waitress came by, saw my dad not eating the pho and asked us what was wrong. When we told her that there was a mix-up, she looked surprised (which gave me the assumption that the previous waitress never told anyone about our mix-up) and immediately got our order in. So we had to wait another 15 minutes for my dad's food to finally come. My dad's bowl finally came in and he wasn't very pleased with the order. There was quite a bit of soup in comparison to noodles, and there wasn't anything special about it, either. It tasted like overly citrus spicy soup. I thought the house special Pho tasted good, but I didn't think it was worth the $8.50 price tag. The portion is quite big and they provided a good amount of noodles and meat in my bowl, but I also specifically asked for extra green onions (which was not fulfilled, unfortunately). As someone who works in customer service, I can empathize that sometimes things can easily slip out of your head as you get multiple requests from different customers all at once, especially if you're new to working in the service industry. However, it bothered me how we were simply ignored by the first waitress about our problem. We were never given any follow-up and after 5-10 minutes of waiting "for our bowl to come" it seemed like nothing was done about it. If the second waitress had not asked us about our problem, I don't think we would have gotten my dad's bowl. I would have appreciated a simple explanation from the waitress - it feels uneasy being left out in the dark and not knowing what is going on. We were given a 10% discount for the mishap, which I noticed, but the lack of communication and the typical taste of the food made me feel unenthusiastic to give this restaurant a good tip after we left. I definitely would like to come back again and give it another shot, because I have a feeling it was a pure accident rather than this restaurant being bad overall. There are definitely great points about this restaurant, like their cleanliness, great tasting spring rolls and large portions of meals... I'm really hoping my next visit will be better!

    Super oily pho broth
    Johnny L.

    Saw this new place and decided to give this restaurant a try based on multiple high reviews. Unfortunately, it did not live up to its hype. We ordered some spring rolls and basil chicken wings as appetizers. For the mains, I got bun bo hue and the wife had pho tai Bo Vien. Let me begin by saying that the spring rolls were alright. It had a very "homemade" taste to it. Viet people who grew up and had their mom's spring rolls as a kid will know what I mean which isn't a bad thing. They were a bit on the soggy side but they jam packed the filling. Next was the basil fried chicken. This was a major fail! The chicken was super tasteless as if all they did was fried up some chicken and tossed in some fresh basil and called it basil fried chicken. I had to dunk the wings in my fish sauce that came with the spring rolls to actually finish the wings. Very disappointed. If you really want to see how a pho place does chicken wings, check out Pho Hung's fried chicken! Anyway, let's move on to our mains. Nothing really outstanding here. My broth in my bun bo hue tasted very diluted and my wife's pho bowl was SUPER oily. Hate to do this to up and coming restaurants but due to the wide selection of pho places around, your pho and menu gotta be on point to compete and I think this restaurant doesn't stand a chance if they keep doing what they do.

    Restaurant is quite new, cosy... not that big with new renovations that gives it a pleasant ambiance. Menu has the usual familiar Viet dishes like phò and bun plus some Thai dishes. I ordered rice with grilled pork and chicken. Portion size was generous, grilled meat tasted good although I prefer the pork to the chicken. Service was fast and courteous. Like that the new washrooms were kept really clean and dry. This newer Vietnamese restaurant at Steeles and Bathurst should give the other established and very popular Pho Viet Xpress across the road a run for its money. Giving it 3 stars for now but I'll want to go back to try other items.

    Came here twice since it opened and enjoyed both times. Food is fresh and portion is decent for the price. Pho soup base is on point with the very best. Not too busy so it is easy to find a seat. Place is well lit and decor is modern. Will come back again for sure. The avocado milkshake is amazing but the viet coffee was only okay.

    Pho with thin beef slices
    Royze S.

    First of all, the place is clean and is very well lighted. It is my go to place for pho soup. Food is delicious and price is very cheap as well. I live nearby almost 3 to 4 Vietnamese restaurants and I can say that this place would be my first choice.

    This place is new in the area so we got in to give it a try cause I loved pho. So I got my regular rare beef and beef ball pho. You can tell by looking at the picture of my pho is way too oily for the soup base and portion was very little compare to the regular restaurant I went. And also ordered a fry rice with kalbi the rice was too salty and the kalbi was ok. Basically there is so many pho places around the area that is better than this place.

    R1 rice special

    Was suggested this relatively new pho shop instead of our normal place and was presently surprised to see how large, clean, bright, and inviting the place was! The place was full, surprising for a lazy Sunday evening in North York, and there seemed to be a good mix of families, students, Asians and non-Asians alike. Whenever I try a new Viet place out, I normally order the pho special, and this time was no exception. I was really surprised at the broth - very light and clear - and there was a generous helping of perfectly cooked thin noodles. Also, unlike some other pho shops, you could tell there were different cuts of beef, from the brisket to the thinly cut rare beef. A little more tripe would be good, though I can understand, especially in this neighbourhood, that they pulled back on some more risqué (for the western palate) elements. Also in our order was the rice special (R1) and the vermicelli special (V1). The rice special had two types of grilled meat (pork chop and chicken) which were flavoured well, and beef that was sautéed with onions. The beef and chicken were perfectly cooked and delicious, while the pork was a teeny bit dry. There was a perfect mound of rice, topped off with a fried egg - would have been better if the yolk more runny, but there was enough to mix in with the rice that I took (about 1/5th). The pickled veggies weren't pickled enough; I'm not sure if they weren't holding the vinegar because they were grated instead of thick julienne chopped, or if they just needed a longer soak. The vermicelli dish came with an awesome spring roll, along with three meats, too: Viet sausage, pork, and shrimp. The shrimp - minced and formed into a ball and wrapped around a sugar cane stalk - was great, but the sugar cane was flavourless like it had been sitting in too much water... The pork was thinly sliced and was good, but the surprising thing was the Viet sausage. Unlike the normal small links normally served, they had formed the meat into rectangles so the pan-fried blocks resembled spam or luncheon meat. TL;DR Overall a pretty good place serving this part of the city. There is obvious care taken in presentation, and with a few tweaks, it'll be amazing from tip to tail.

    Tofu vegetable noodle
    Chloe C.

    My workplace crew makes frequent trips to the Szechuan restaurant in the same plaza, so I spotted Pho Saigon opening some time ago but only recently had an opportunity to drop by and try. This is a keeper in my rotation of lunchtime haunts. The restaurant is hands down the cleanest Vietnamese restaurant I have ever seen! The wait staff were friendly and prompt, but most of all the food, which comes in generous sized portions, was fantastic. I had the tofu and vegetable noodle soup, which was massive! Their broth is vegetarian - this is important, as a lot of places will serve a vegetable or tofu noodle soup dish, in chicken or beef stock and not tell you that your food is not vegetarian. It looks like the restaurant is also in Uber Eats and Skip the Dishes, based on the steady stream of food couriers during the lunch hour. It's worth checking out if you're in the area!

    It was my first time in years dining at Pho Hung and food is exactly as I remembered and still…read moredelicious! I had my usual vermicelli bowl with grilled chicken, veggies and crispy spring roll. They have large and regular size and I got regular which was still filling. Also had their famous fried chicken wings which are fantastic! Highly recommend! The owner said it's a secret recipe they actually got from Buffalo NY. Ambience is always warm and I forgot this Spadina location has an extension that used to be their patio. Fast service and it was nice to see the owner who is usually there. And thankfully it wasn't packed when we got there on a Saturday around 1pm. This restaurant is still a family favourite!

I had been…read moredebating whether to try this restaurant for a while, and while I'm glad I did, I'll still be going to my favourite Vietnamese spot down the street, Anh Dao. I ordered the bun bo hue, pho, and spring rolls. The bun bo hue tasted more like a spicy pho broth, and the pho reminded me of the broth at the Michelin recommended restaurant on Ossington. Overall, the bun bo hue and spring rolls were just okay, nothing special. The pho was good if you're looking for something simple. They also put a large piece of beef tendon in the pho, which I loved! One thing I didn't like was that the owner seemed to be rushing us to order, which felt a bit off putting. I'd come back for the pho and spring rolls, but I'm not sure about the other dishes.

    They have 5 types of dry noodles with pork tossed with sauce, which is super hard to find as a dish…read more(even if you look for similar dishes in Singaporean, Malaysian, Thai and Cambodian cuisines). The dry noodle dishes under the green column use egg noodles & those under the brown use rice noodles but the toppings & sauce are the same. The most pricey rice noodles are Japanese but otherwise the difference is width. Got the thin egg noodle version in large. It's recommended to add pickled garlic & red vinegar. The soup was pretty tasty with a natural sweetness, 2 springy half fishballs & a large, very fresh shrimp. The sauce was basically oyster sauce but pickled garlic, red vinegar, hoi sin & chili sauce were available to add complexity. The noodles weren't wet but were not dry either. Large was a very big bowl it came with minced pork, thin sliced pork beansprouts & greens. The pickled garlic was good. Also got a shrimp fritter on the side for $2.50. It was big with one tiny shrimp. The juxtaposition was comical but it was cheap. It was not warm but the fritter was crispy & tasty. Unfortunately the shrimp itself was dry & brittle. Service was good, especially for an Asian place.

    How do I keep forgetting this place? They have been around forever, and I mean literally forever…read more Perhaps I overlooked because they don't fall into the usual perception of Viet food, but it's definitely genuinely and authentically, Viet! Right down to the non-white washed clientele. I'd always prefer to dine where the "locals" dine, and being in a multicultural city like Toronto, it's difficult to fine a hidden gem that hasn't been invaded by foreigners (I'm laughing inside because I'm not Viet and am disliking myself for being that invader; however, I can pass for a Viet if I just point to the table I want and the menu item I'd like ). So, please keep this place to yourself as I would hate to line up the next time I come.
