Food was like a premium version of the dishes we normally get. My husband got the pho special and he said they used premium brisket inside his pho. They also provided him with a dipping tray, which at most places, he has to ask for it. Definitely coming back here after trying a few more in the area!!

First off, this place is decorated nicer than most pho places I go to, so I give it extra credit for that. We tried two similar pho bowls, and they came out quickly. Broth is quite good, noodles weren't overcooked (which can happens sometimes), and the toppings generous. Ordering a L or XL bowl and sharing is a much better than deal than ordering separately. Service is fast and efficient. Note, they only take cash/debit only. Overall, I was happy with our meal. Good pho, and reasonable prices when you share bowls with family.

The freshness of the herbs and vegetables added the perfect balance, and the side of fried tofu with chili dipping sauce was a delightful extra. The crispy texture of the tofu, paired with the refreshing salad and dipping sauce, was a great complement to the pho. The service was friendly and prompt, and the ambiance was cozy yet bustling, making it a great spot for a casual meal. If you're craving delicious Vietnamese comfort food, this place won't disappoint!

I highly recommend the vermicelli bowls as they give a very generous amount of meat. The Bo La Lop was delicious and sizing oh so generous.

Also love that it doesn't get too crowded and tables are nicely spaced out. A bit more of an "upscale" pho experience compared to many other chains with a higher price tag for a bowl of pho but worth it in our opinion! Perfect on a cold or rainy day. Our go-to orders are the Pho Tai Gan and Pho Tai Bo Vien. Pre-COVID, we would visit every weekend!

It's been a good run at this local staple…read more Pho Metro is one of the more well-known pho spot in Vaughan with tasty flavors, fast service and large portions. Ever since I discovered the spicy Curry Brisket Pho ($20.95), it has always been my go-to dish here all year-round. As creamy and thick as the broth appears, the intense Thai coconut curry flavours are perfect to slurp down in this modern fusion dish. We always order Pho Nam (XL $21.50) as well and both come loaded with a heaping portion of brisket slices in the piping hot noodle soup. From time-to-time, we also add the Banh Xeo savoury egg pancake which arrives on a huge plate even larger than the noodle bowls. Presented with a heap of greens & herbs, the crispy golden crepe is light and filled with bits of shrimp, pork, onions & bean sprouts. This is wrapped with the lettuce leaf for crunchy and refreshing bites. The menu prices have slowly but steadily increased over the past couple of years. There is still cash discount available. Not much has changed with the decor over the years in this spacious but dated restaurant interior. Service is always kind, fast and kid-friendly which is nice for young families. Skip it or hit it? I admit we don't visit as often as we used to all factors considered but boy that Curry Brisket Pho is something I crave.

The drinks from the Bambū side are a bit on the pricier side, but they're packed with flavor. We…read morewent for two large drinks, and one was practically a dessert in itself. The Mangonada was refreshing, tangy, and had a bit of heat, while the tamarind candy straw added a chewy surprise between sips. The Halo Halo was topped with creamy ube ice cream, which melted nicely into the drink as you mixed it in. It was a little tricky to mix at first since it was filled to the brim, but the combination of textures, sweetness, and nuttiness was fantastic without ever feeling overwhelming. Having the option to enjoy Bambū's unique drinks makes this location stand out. We thoroughly enjoyed everything and didn't leave a single crumb behind!

It has all the classic ingredients, but it doesn't seem like the authentic Vietnamese dessert. However, it still tasted good and I enjoyed it. I'd say the biggest con was the price, it's pretty expensive. I've never paid this much for Che Ba Mau - coming from a viet person. Service was okay. There's seating and it's decorated nicely. 3.5/5

Amazing Vietnamese restaurant, probably the best and most authentic one I've been to…read more The food quality, restaurant decor and service was all amazing. The flavors were superb and the amount of fresh herbs such as dill were unseen at other places. The broth was perfect and wildly fragrant. So many interesting dishes other Vietnamese restaurants don't carry. I highly recommend this restaurant. The only downside is that there are no exterior lighting at the restaurant so if you leave when nightfalls, it can get quite dark walking to your car.

Lots of greenery and bamboo decorations which made the ambience very enjoyable for dining. Don't be fooled by the industrial appearance of the outside!

I ordered the Deep Fried Spring Rolls (Cha Gio), Chicken Wings (Canh Ga Chien), and the Special Beef Noodle Soup (Pho Dac Biet). I didn't really like the appetizers. The spring rolls were not very flavourful. I found them to be quite starchy. The chicken wings were crunchy, but had a bland taste. At least they came to our table piping hot. The Pho is definitely their specialty here. The broth had a well rounded flavour. The aroma was not overpowered by the star anise and the broth was seasoned well. The bowl of pho had adequate amounts of meat which is also a welcoming sign. Overall, a great place for Pho that is cheap but satisfyingly good.

My friend, Chris, suggested that we visit Vietnoms after a Yelp experience that made us crave something more. Luckily, it wasn't too far away. However, it was during rush hour on a Wednesday. We got here separately. This eatery is in a plaza that has a FreshCo anchoring it. The plaza has plenty of parking. I pulled into a spot and met up with Chris. This place has limited spots for dining inside. We had no problem grabbing a table. There is bar seating at the front. This place has a patio. However, it was too hot to sit outside, even with a large patio umbrella at each table. We were greeted and seated promptly. We got menus. This place has its regular menu and off-menu specials. Wow! I remember Crosstown BBQ had a collaboration with Vietnoms. Sadly, I missed it. Chris got these items: - Water - Banh mi dip My order consisted of these items: - Cold tea - Matcha lemonade - Rare beef and beef ball pho (small) I asked how large the large bowl of pho was. He pointed at a man's bowl. It was large, so I went small. The cold tea was refreshing. It came in a teapot. I loved it so much that I poured the remaining tea in my empty cup that once had my matcha lemonade. The drinks here are solid. I loved my matcha lemonade. There was no matcha powder grit in my drink. It was perfectly blended. The lemonade part had lemon preserve, which made it super yummy. I'd get this drink again in a heartbeat. My pho order was messed up. I spent a while trying to find beef balls. I realized that I had rare beef and beef brisket. It was also a large. Chris was the first to point out to our server that I didn't have any beef balls. I fished out the two types of proteins that were in my pho. He was apologetic and wanted to make things right. I frankly wasn't offended by this mistake. The proteins were yummy. The pho was excellent. Although it was a large, I was able to down it. The broth was delicious. Our server came over with a bowl of six beef balls and a lot of green onions in the broth. He apologized again. It was great that this place wanted to make everything right. For someone who wanted a small pho, I ended up with a massive meal. Thank goodness I didn't order an appetizer! I am a beef ball person. The beef balls hit the spot. The extra green onions made me so happy. I loved them. Chris enjoyed his banh mi dip. At first, he felt that the dip part was too salty. However, when we dipped his banh mi halves into it, the broth was fine. I need to get what he got next time. It looked incredible, especially the brisket in the baguette. I used the washroom before I left. It was compact and clean. No issues. We paid at the front counter. I paid with a credit card for both of us, as Chris had cash. I now have a running tab to pay him back. This place was awesome and a great suggestion. I suspect that dining here on a weekend would be difficult because it's such a small indoor dining area with limited seating. We came on a weeknight at nearly 6 pm and it was perfect. I'd return to get more good eats. It's an awesome addition to this plaza. (342)

Vietnoms is a restaurant I've had bookmarked for a while because of its high ratings. It's located…read morein a relatively small plaza, but there's plenty of free parking available. The restaurant itself is fairly small. There's a takeout section at the front, followed by bar-style seating along the kitchen and another dining area that can fit around 15 to 25 people. I came here as a group of 2. We arrived around 8 PM, so it wasn't too busy. They provide two menus, a regular menu and an off-menu menu. They also have a decent selection of caffeinated drinks. Water is provided, and you can request tea, similar to what you'd find at other Vietnamese restaurants. Pho came with thai basil, beansprouts and lemons rather than lime. We tried the Crab Deep-Fried Spring Rolls ($9), which were $1 more than the regular spring rolls. They came in a different shape than usual, more like pockets cut in half into four triangular pieces. They were fried very well, crispy, and tasty but neither of us really tasted any crab. I ordered the Charred Beef Rib Pho ($24.50), which was about $5 more than a large regular menu pho. The broth was okay, but it was on the sweeter side. The beef rib itself was quite small with not much meat, and it wasn't fall off the bone tender either, which was disappointing. Flavors were mediocre. The other beef slices were average, so overall, nothing particularly stood out about the pho. Service was mediocre throughout our visit because of missed menu notes and we noticed it happened at another table too. The spring rolls were good, but the pho was underwhelming, especially considering the price. Overall, I'm glad I gave it a try, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. Cash has a 5% discount.
