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!

This family-owned gem is an absolute knockout! While North York is flooded with Vietnamese options,…read moreLD Pho - Banh Mi is hands-down my favorite. 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!

Came here twice during my Toronto trip last month - and both times were overall solid experiences…read more Place was very clean and bright, however I find the tables a little tight, especially when you have large winter jackets to deal with. Service was relatively fast despite it being very busy. Team was friendly and knowledgeable. However, the second time i was there, my bun bo hue toke way longer to arrive, the table was halfway done there meals when my bowl finally arrived. A little bit of communication would have been nice, just got the "it's coming" the two times I asked about where it was, no timeline or anything. Spring rolls were kind of bland, no real flavour - however the crunchiness hits the spot. Bun bo hue when it arrives is truly amazing! The perfect amount of spice - makes you sweat a bit without killing you - you can still taste everything you're eating! I do prefer Toronto's Pho Anh Vu over the Vancouver location, somehow the Bun Bo Hue doesn't hit the same over here.

I've read great reviews on Pho Anh Vu so I decided to give it a try. The server was funny and…read moreentertaining which made our visit fun. The place is quite small and they get busy so expect some crowding. The food was delicious and had exceptional flavour and quality. My partner and I had the Bun Bo Hue (5/5) and the Grilled Pork and Chicken on Broken Rice (5/5). Bun Bo Hue was filled with meat and blood pudding. It was not as spicy as I had hoped it would be but the flavour profile was irresistibly good. Grilled Pork and Chicken on Broken Rice had ample portions of meat. They were tender and juicy. As I mentioned, the place gets busy and packed. We were a group of 8 and I tried to book a reservation a couple of days prior to our visit. To our disappointment, they did not accept reservations at all. The wait time was quite long since we were such a big group. This was quite hectic and stressful for the servers. Hopefully this can be considered in the future for big groups (8 people and above) to make the service smoother.

The beef tendons were tender and soft, and paired so nicely with the flavourful broth and soft noodles. My partner got the lemongrass pork and liked the dish. I stole a price of the spring roll and it was so crispy. Will come again when the craving hits.

Either way, The raw beef and beef balls pho was still awesome. There was an abundance of noodles and toppings. More than usual. So For that reason I highly recommend coming here for your Vietnamese fix. Not only was there an enormous amount of pho. The flavours and quality was also top notch. Price wise, it's very reasonable. No major change. I will definitely be back again.

I was honestly pretty disappointed with my experience at Pho in Love. The broth was very bland and…read morelacked the rich, deep flavor you'd expect from a good pho place and I am extremely thirsty afterward I think too much MSG. 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.

We came here around 7pm and there was no wait time surprisingly. The fresh spring rolls didn't taste very fresh. It tasted premade and set aside since the wrap was a bit stiff. The peanut sauce was delicious, however I would skip this. The fried spring roll, was also not the best. The filling is dense and lacked flavour. The stars of the show: P1: NY's special: Broth tasted so rich and delicious, lots of beef and beef balls. 100% worth coming back and getting. I would suggest getting the M size unless you are super hungry the portion size for a L is huge! P9: Braised beef short rib pho, meat is falling off the bone delicious. Only comes in one size, broth tasted much richer than the P1 with different flavours. It's definitely worth trying atleast once. Overall, would come back for pho and to try other items. Skip the rolls altogether.

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 will be returning. Professional restauranteurs who treat their customers WELL!

The space is quite large but their kitchen is very quick and efficient in getting the food and drinks out. The room has a big open air vibe. The serving sizes here are huge. Definitely plan on sharing so you can try more dishes. Deep fried pork ribs - I found them a bit bland and dry, but my husband loved them. Wolfed the whole thing down! Beef pho rolls - wow, these were really delicious! Fried snail & pork patties - these were really super tasty! Highly recommend. The texture is a bit of a bouncy chew, but in a good way. Bun cha with pork and spring rolls - this was an enormous amount of food for one person. I ate heartily, and I still had half left. Luckily, I had spooned my portion onto a side plate, so I could easily pack up the leftovers for another lunch the next day. Everything on this dish was delicious!! And the spring roll was impressively ungreasy, but crackling crisp. I was worried that this place would be too busy, but they always seem to have room, and the kitchen hums on all cylinders. Definitely will be coming out regularly.

You can also get 5 and get one FREE! I love a good deal / promotion. This was my first time trying the Pandan dessert and the two savory options. Everything was so good. 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.
