Came here on the weekend looking for some good pho. Unfortunately they sold out by 4pm when I got…read morethere! I ordered the Banh Mi Pho Tai instead. Imagine if Banh Mi and Pho had a beef dip baby. It was pretty delicious. The broth was super flavourful. It made me definitely want to come back to try the pho. I also ordered a regular Banh mi to go which was good but I'd probably stick to the more inventive sandwiches. The pork belly one sounds good too. The place only has 2 small tables so take out might be your only option. I was lucky that a couple were leaving just as my order was ready. Really nice hidden gem owned by a mom/daughter team and her boyfriend. They were super nice and told me to call ahead so they could save some pho for me next time I come. Go check them out!

It's run by a wonderful mother, daughter, and boyfriend trio who truly put their hearts into the business. The customer service is phenomenal. Mama and Liza make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in; they were so helpful with recommendations, and Mama even gave my husband some of their homemade cold cuts to try! You can tell everything is made with genuine love and care. The food is on another level: P01 Pho Dac Biet: This is my go-to order. The broth is simmered for hours and it shows--it's packed with flavor and depth. It comes fully loaded with all the best beef toppings: rare beef, tripe, beef balls, tendon, and brisket. S07 Banh Mi Thit Ba Chi: Their roasted pork belly sandwich is a must-try. Since everything is made to order, the bread is perfect and the ingredients are the freshest you can find. Though the restaurant is small, it "throws a mighty punch" with its flavors. Their focused menu ensures everything is fresh and bursting with authenticity. An absolute gem of a spot!

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.

And I can say that I've had great experiences with Vietnamese restaurants already before. But what set this place apart is that the staff/Management/server and I would shout out to Lang because he truly knows the definition of Customer Service. I chose to come here along with my niece and her family that live locally because this place Pho In Love was highly recommended by a staff that claims to be a foodie like me at the Sheraton hotel lounge. And when we looked at the reviews, it had some amazing reviews to back it up. Food was amazing, all the ingredients were fresh, portions are generous, and they were all as expected very flavorful. Ambience is cute and very clean. Parking is an easy access. And above all, you feel so very welcome upon entering this place. I'm so glad we tried it because it definitely met our expectations and beyond. I apologize that I don't have enough photos because we thoroughly enjoyed the food that we forgot to take photos.

The meat-to-noodle ratio was also way off for $21 for a large bowl, it was mostly noodles with barely any meat. Compared to other pho restaurants in the area, this one really falls short in both quality and value. The overall taste honestly reminded me of instant pho you can buy at Costco rather than freshly made restaurant pho. Unfortunately, I wouldn't come back, especially with so many better pho options nearby.

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.

We entered this beautiful restaurant and were immediately transported to Vietnamese culture and traditions which we have experienced first-hand in Vietnam on three separate occasions. The seating arrangements permitted different views of this well-appointed restaurant. It was peaceful even though there were many people dining there. It was serene with light music in the background and barely audible. What a pleasure! The Food: We ordered an appetizer plate of popiah. We've enjoyed popiahs in Malaysia, and these were very different. These are a rolled "rice cellophane" wrappers filled with finely chopped lap xiong sausage, vermicelli and fresh herbs served with a side dip (of mostly hoisin). EXQUISITE AND ADDICTIVE. 10/10 We then shared a Bún Chá Hanoi. It has always been one of my favourite Vietnamese dishes and difficult to find in Toronto. This was true to tradition, extremely well-executed and refined in it's preparation and taste. The pork patties did not have a porky taste (bonus points), a perfect char and seasonings. Hubby enjoyed the grilled pork belly. The accompanying "dressing" for the vermicelli and fresh lettuce was refreshing and light. 10/10 My café dā was smooth and strong (as requested). It was served in the traditional Vietnamese style. The Owner brought condensed milk and sugar with it on the side because he thought the coffee would be too strong for me. Of course I didn't need it. I think he was surprised LOL. 10/10. My husband's kumquat drink was delicious and his first time enjoying the taste of kumquat. 10/10. Words cannot describe how much we loved this place.

We loved the Bun Ca Cham - northern style fish noodle soup. It comes with deep fried red snappers and fish cakes, making this dish quite shareable. Tamarind soup had lots of meat in it; so generous! We also had the bbq chicken vermicelli; this wasn't as fantastic as the soups, but it was still delicious. Fried chicken spring rolls were a crowd favourite; they were cooked to perfection. You get two rolls per order, but the rolls are really quite big. Ambiance is quite pretty, but the HVAC system was so loud in this section of the restaurant that it was a bit hard to hear one another; I'm not sure if it is an ongoing problem. There was also a rather large hole in the wall where we were seated; I hope they can fix it soon. On a busy Thursday night, there was a little wait, but it wasn't more than ten minutes. Washrooms are accessible. Will definitely come back in the future!

We needed to wait ~40-50 minutes to get seated on a Saturday night, and the dine-in area was packed and loud. I loved that there was green tea served, it was very fragrant, reminds me of good dim sum tea. It did not look like most customers were as appreciative, though. We had the beef tenderloin carpaccio, which I really enjoyed. there was a lot of garlic flavor mixed with the usual greens that come with pho, and it tastes like a juicier tender version of beef in pho, mixed with a variety of textures. I had the jade fried rice as well, and the beef in this dish tastes entirely different but also very tender and soft. Also comes with a lot of the pho greens. The pho dish is more traditional, maybe a little too salty on the soup, but again great taste with the noodles, vegetables, and beef. The amount of food served is a lot as well, it was another whole meal for leftovers the next day. We had the option to pay in cash for 10% off.

The sweet buns were the freshest buns I've ever had. They were stretchy, light, airy and had the perfect amount of sweetness. Similar to a doughnut without any of the heaviness. There was a steady flow of customers and I chatted with a few. They all commented on fresh and delicious the food was here. There's a reason people keep coming back. I loved the atmosphere and warmth I felt in this family run business.
