Came here twice this month. The first time was with a group of friends and there was 11 of us. I…read morehonestly did not expect to be seated at all since they don't take reservations on the weekends and It was really packed full of people. Seating wasn't too comfortable but again there was 11 of us so we were cramped into two smaller tables combined. Initially I wanted to try their bun rieu with soft shell crab or their smoked beef brisket pho but they ran out of both. So I just settled for their bone marrow pho. We also ordered a few appetizers including the deep fried spring rolls and their chicken wings. The deep fried spring roll were quite good and standard. The chicken wings on the other hand were just alright. I liked the crisp but they weren't seasoned or marinated which was a shame. I wasn't exactly sure how to eat the bone marrow pho. Was I supposed to just scoop it and eat it or just mix it with the broth to enhance it ? Anyways I chose the former since I don't drink the soup and didn't want to "waste" it. I felt like raw scooping the bone marrow was way too fatty and intense lol. The entire time I was just thinking I much prefer eating bone marrow with some toasted bread so I probably won't order this dish again. The second time I brought my mother with me for a quick dinner. I ordered the Bun bo hue and she ordered the pork jowl vermicelli. Also it seems like they offer free drinks on weekdays. We both got the winter melon tea. The Bun Bo Hue was really good. It was quite spicy which I prefer and came with good portions. My only "complaint" was that they put so much herbs lol. I just felt like it was too much. The Pork Jowl itself was very delicious as well. it was grilled perfectly with a nice springy texture. But I didn't like the vermicelli. It was just bland and uninteresting. The winter melon tea was nothing special. I'm pretty sure it is just those packaged winter melon tea but free is free. I really like this place! I think the prices are extremely fair and they also do a 10% cash discount. Service was great! and free drinks on weekdays and the decor and atmosphere is awesome. I loved the vintage typewriters and radio. It added such a unique charm. It's definitely not as good as Pho Ngoc Yen nor Pho Ahn Vu but for the price, it's 100% worth it. The next time I come, I want to try their banh xeo or soft shell crab bun rieu.

I brought my wife here to try their bone marrow pho and some appetizers…read more The bone marrow pho was great. She got two big beef bones and assorted beef. The portions are generous and we basically had a second meal to take home. The netted rolls were good. Probably a little bit too long in the fryer but it passed the taste test. I loved the smoked brisket pho and how they served the brisket on a separate plate with all the juices from brisket. You can really taste smoke flavour. The service is very friendly and the food came out pretty fast. The dining room esthetically pleasing and great place for date night. I recommend bringing cash as they give you 10% off your bill. Thank you Di An for a wonderful experience and look forward to coming back again.

As soon as I walked into the doors, the aroma of the pho overtook my senses and my mouth was already salivating and my palate was excited. Everyone knows the rule of eating pho is eat the first spoon of broth alone. After I sipped my first spoon, I squeezed a bit of lime and dived in for more. The broth was perfectly seasoned and had a depth of flavor that was evident that the broth was made over several hours. Just a nice simply beef noodle soup that reminded me of my childhood eating pho at home. It's very rare to say pho at a restaurant is comparable to one made at home. When good food makes you reminisce of your younger years, I totally understand what "food is love." The interior design really takes you back in time with the old TV and radio equipment. I thought it was pretty cool. The service was adequate. Overall, one of the best pho I had in Toronto.

Very nice interior with lots of Asian inspired decor…read more Tried a bit if the pho and felt it was not seasoned as other pho places. I previously came here and ordered the bone marrow and felt that it was just a bit of a novelty. The rice and vermicelli dishes were large in portions with lots of protein. Be prepared to potentially wait as the restaurant can get very busy.

Friendly service, free parking, and a great overall experience. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu!

It was loaded with meat! The broth was clear and tasty. We also tried the spring rolls which my 4 year old devoured 2 whole ones before anyone could touch it. I guess it was that good because I didn't even get a chance to try it. The chicken wings were good as well. We also got the fresh rolls, but I didn't really like it as it had shredding lettuce. The bun bo hue was good, even though we asked for less spicy, it was still spicy to me! I loved that I didn't feel thirsty after unlike some viet restaurants. This means they don't use a crazy amount of MSG. Would definitely come back!

The prices seem to be a little higher but the portions are solid. We had 3 people and 3 dishes. There was no way we could finish everything and had leftovers for dinner.

So many tasty things at this pho spot in Scarborough, but for me the best is the (S4) Bún bò Huế…read moređặc biệt. It has the awesome balance of rich salty, spicy, and savory flavors all come in one bowl. You also get a solid amount of meats like sliced beef, triples, pork knuckles, and blood curds. Heads up though as this rice noodle bowl item is only available on Fridays and weekends. It is a total must-order in my opinion. Their chicken wings, Vietnamese spring rolls, beef stew with French baguette and smoothies are also great. I am already craving it while typing, LOL... I don't mind it certainly is a little pricey here as long as the food are good. You get what you pay for. Definitely recommended if you are in the area.

I saw plenty of glowing reviews about this place and had to try it for myself. I heard nothing but…read moregood things and hear phenomenal things about the drink. The food was amazing as expected and so was the service. The service was fast and very helpful. But honestly I been going there for the last few days and one thing, a person has truly brought colour to this place. A girl so beautiful you can mistake her for a angel she looks so heavenly and sweet, I think she the real reason I go back everyday, she always there sitting in the corner in her own little world it's so adorable especially those small little smiles of hers . I seen her make drinks so she definitely a worker there, she makes that place look so lively it's truly blows me away that a girl like that exists. A girl so rich in her outfits and clearly a woman with wonderful taste in food. If I come back and she there I could eat for hours, she is so memorizing to the eye, idk how I can describe it. I recall her saying her name was Alice. Such a beautiful angel in a place so close to heaven this place is a dream,10/10 recommendation

Place was clean and quiet. Food was excellent…read more I liked the complimentary house tea they serve at the start. I believe it was pandan tea. The large NS11 Hue Supreme Beef Noodle Soup ($21.95) was superb. The serving size would be enough for 2 people to share. There were an assortment of food items in the soup including thin beef slices and liver chunks. Other menu items we were able to sample include BM2. "Côt Đèn" Patê Sandwich ($7.45) and AP6 Crispy-Spring Rolls w/ Shrimp & Pork ($8.95 for 3 pcs). The spring rolls was stuffed and fried perfectly. I also have no complains about how the Pate Sandwich was prepared. The menu was a little challenging to go over because it did not include a description of what some of the menu items consists of. We had to talk it over with the waiter about what goes into some of the food listings. I understand the limits of design space on the menu board, but I hope there is a better way of having that information available. We dined during a very quiet and slow Monday evening where we were the only diners present. The vibe would have been a little better if more people would have been present. I am not sure if the place gets busier and more alive during the weekends or during weekday lunch hour.

Food: Beef special pho was good, broth was piping hot and has a nice aroma to it, not overly salty. Large amount of noodles and good amount of beef and toppings 5/5.

Vermicelli with bbq pork and chicken. Lots of Noodles, decent amount of vegetables and bbq pork and chicken. 4.5/5. Price: On the less expensive side of Vietnamese restaurants.

The restaurant is quite spacious, a lot more than its facade suggests. There are very large plants and neon signage incorporated into their tasteful decor. There's even a scooter with a teddy bear, and a large "chef" welcoming you. Nice. My friend had their Chicken Pho and I had their Vermicelli with BBQ Pork. The service was quick and both dishes had generous portions. The pho was served steaming hot, loaded with ingredients, and accompanied by the usual bean sprouts, basil, and lime. My friend, however, was a little disappointed that they didn't have fresh chillies. She likes it spicy! My vermicelli dish was good - portion size, flavour, and presentation. My only (very minor) critique is a wee bit too much peanuts for my preference. Overall, it was a decent meal, although not 100% perfect. BTW, they serve Halal food. Check them out. 3.5/5.0

The food arrived in about 10-15 minutes. I've been here countless times, and the food has always been consistently good. One time, my friend didn't really like what she ordered, and a staff member immediately offered us a discount. We tried to insist on paying, but she genuinely insisted on giving it to us, which was really kind and appreciated. It's a bit on the pricier side, but nothing too crazy for the quality and service you get. The inside feels really cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot to sit down and enjoy your meal. Overall, a very solid place that I'll definitely keep coming back to
