This place serves northern Vietnamese food so am told by my friend who recommended this place. Our group of 3 dined in on a Monday at 2pm. It was after lunch and only had a couple of diners in. We were offered hot or cold tea. We decided to share a bun cha ca (vermicelli fish paste noodle soup), ground pork In betel leaves and a bun cha Hanoi (vermicelli salad with grilled pork). We thoroughly enjoyed it. They are generous with their portions. Staff was friendly and the food was brought out fast. I would come back to try their other menu items or reorder the same. read more

Pho Vaughan has been around for a long time. At least this one has, compared to the new one down the block that thus far doesn't imitate its menu. We've come to this location from time-to-time over the years ever since a friend first introduced this local spot. On this visit, I had their standard Special Beef Noodle Soup which comprised of mostly rare beef to be cooked in the boiling hot broth. The soup base is generally clean though a little on the fatty side. It is quite satisfying to slurp down with the soft rice noodles. Their fried fish seems popular as a side dish for the regulars but is quite dry for my taste. A fishy sweet and sour aroma hits the second you enter the restaurant doors. There's nothing out-of-the-ordinary and the place could use a reno, but it always tends to be relatively packed at dinner time. It's another authentic family-run pho spot that serves up consistent noodle and rice dishes. read more

Pho Vaughan - Pork dish...yum - Vietnamese Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

We came here to grab a bowl of Pho on a very cold day. The servers here waived us to our seats and we got to ordering. 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. read more

Absolutely amazing. Delicious food, great service and super welcoming owners. Great little place in Vaughan.

I've had dinner at Pho Vaughan a few times now and the food is excellent. I've ordered both the pho with beef brisket as well as the grilled chicken rice dish. The pho broth is flavorful and just perfect. The pho is definitely filling and makes for a great meal on a cold winter day. I really enjoyed the grilled chicken dish. The chicken was not overcooked and was marinated perfectly. The dipping sauce is definitely authentic and I suggest drizzling it on the rice if you like spice. It goes well with the fried egg. The rice dish also comes with a bowl of broth. They take cash or debit. However, the debit machine is old school. You can almost imagine the beeping sounds from the 2400 baud modem. read more

Honestly, I am very disappointed . I came here few years ago and was disappointed with the food but was hungry so thought give this place a 2nd chance. But unfortunately just disappointed in general. Came in with just 1 table and 1 customer came afterwards. I sat down and waiting for tea or water but server ignored. He came and serve the customer that came before me with hot tea while I have no drinks yet. I wrote down, no onions but the dish came out with onions. The dish is very boring taste... I ordered Vietnamese ice coffee, from the moment my food came and when I stand up paying my bill. The coffee isn't ready yet. Honestly very disappointed.. last time for me.. read more

This rating is for the avocado shake that I ordered! Quick efficient service and they were able to accommodate my request of little sugar. I know it tastes better with sugar but I wanted to opt for a healthier option, thank you again! read more

Reason for Visit: Recommended by a friend in the area to give this a try. Menu: At first, I do note that this place is slightly more pricier than most other Vietnamese places (average price of dish ~$10-$16). The soup was very flavorful, noodles were chewy and tasty. The beef was tender and juicy. Not too salty. Honestly speaking, I thought it was pretty standard. It is definitely enjoyable, but may be a bit over hyped. Service: Very quick service. Efficient system where customers write down their orders. Atmosphere: Small store. Very neat and clean. Lots of windows, and space for parking. Overall: Definitely not a bad place to drop by if you in the area craving some Viet food, but I wouldn't travel too far to come here. read more

Pho Vaughan - Pho large rare beef - Vietnamese Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

Noodle soup in these hot days say what??? I can't help it and trust me, Vietnamese noodle soup doesn't always mean Pho. Pho is our national dish, but we have more than just that. Have you ever tried those noodle soup from the middle of Vietnam, originally from the South, or from the North? Pho Vaughan offers a variety of Northern-style Vietnamese cuisines. And they have this sour noodle soup (that I like) that can refresh yourself and help you cleanse the system with all those herbs and vegetables. I always here for their Vietnamese fish cake, fried fish and fried pork in betel leaves noodle soup. Yum!!! Also, I always order shredded pork skin salad rolls, with fish sauce on the side. The broth is clear, tasty and sour enough for someone who dislike sour food like me. It isn't as sour as Thai tomyum and it's not spicy. The soup comes with lots of thin pieces of fish cakes in the soup, vegetables, fried fish and 2 pieces of pork in betel leaves on the side (my favourite). The portion size are huge! Why do I love shredded pork skin salad rolls here? Because they make it almost close to those I had back home. Their salary rolls are big, however their fish sauce isn't tasty enough. I think they adjust the sauce so everyone can have it. (You know how strong the fish sauce can smell). (And Karla, stop thinking for yourself:P) They make the food from North of Vietnam the right way. From the Pho, salad rolls (northern types), and those sour noodle soup. The restaurant is small, but clean and neat. You won't feel suffocated in here and the smell of food makes you feel even hungrier. The staffs here are nice and very friendly. They are quick as well. As soon as you sit down, there will be pot of tea right on the table for you. And you can ask them for iced water if you don't want the hot tea. Like I said, the portion size is pretty decent so price here is reasonable. You may bump into me here, who knows? :) read more

Dropped by Pho Vaughan for a late lunch on a weekday.. I was surprised that to find it was not the usual Pho's crowd I usually encountered. I were sandwiched in between teenagers.. swearing, gossipping while eating their lunch.. more like a high school cafeteria feel. The Pho I have is A-OK. Though the noodle is dried noodle but it was well cooked. The broth has a good taste of anise and deliciously salty! Service here is fast and efficient... In and out quickly after I stuffed my face with Pho. read more

It seems Kris U and Amy Z of Yelp share a love for Pho, authentic delicious, cheap, filling, satisfying pho. so anytime I find a place they've been to I have to go because I'm sure it's going to be good. This place is located up Jane st across the maple auto mall. the plaza it's in has very little available parking as there are so many businesses but be persistent and it's worth waiting to try to find a spot. The Pho is cooked authentically and deliciously. Clear broth with great flavour and no MSG. Lots of volume and quantity and I swear, if I was craving Pho in the area near the mall, I'm hiking it the extra few minutes to this spot because I know i'll get tremendous value for my money and something that is guaranteed to be delcious. If parking wasn't terrible, I'd say this is the place you have to come, but for where this is, whether you're buying a car, near the mall, getting your hair done next door, please do consider coming here. The staff do a great job of really bringing everything out fast, and doing everything you'd expect. So thank you Kris U and Amy Z, you two always tend to hit home runs in finding Pho places and this one is no exception. read more

This short and spicy review is for the Bun Bo Hue only, I am on a quest to find good Bun Bo Hue (BBH), that is a more spicy pho. The broth of a BBH has to be a star or the BBH is nothing. Many places dumb down the broth, so it is hard to find a good BBH. The BBH broth at Pho Vaughan was quite spicy, probably the second most spicy BBH broth I have ever had in GTA. Yet the beef flavour came through. The noodle was fresh and well portioned. The quantity of the protein was okay. read more

We were in the area getting our hair cuts and was told by our hair dresser to come here for authentic north Vietnamese food like bun cha ga. Ever since I had bun cha ga in Vancouver, I have been searching for a good northern Vietnamese restaurant in Toronto and the search will continue... It's not that the bun cha ga wasn't good, it was decent. Two reason why it was pile compare to the bun cha ga I had in Van. Firstly, the broth was a bit sour for my taste and secondly, the fish cake/pattie was super thin and there wasn't much in the bowl, We also order the giant spring roll which came highly recommended. It was definitely something different as one roll was almost the size of my forearm! It takes 15 mins to prepare as it's wrap fresh when the order is placed. Unlike regular spring rolls which comprise of minced pork, there were actually chunks of pork and shrimp inside along bean sprouts, vermicelli and other veggies. Also unlike the usual, the wrapper is rice paper so it was extra crunchy. read more

Been here twice now and we usually come here after our trips to Wonderland. We've ordered Pho and Rice dishes. Food is solid and what you'd expect from this type of restaurant. Their bowls are a tad smaller than the other places I've been and priced slightly more. The restaurant is a bit small so just be aware if you have a large party or coming during prime lunch/dinner hours. read more

This small restaurant is run by Vietnamese staff! Pho and BBH were on point; taste home-made and authentic. We only got take out; didn't dine in. Portions were large. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area read more

Haven't reviewed anywhere in Vaughan in awhile so this is perfect spots to get back into it with. We were on the hunt for fresh Pho on Saturday and after a quick scan of the limited reviews in Vaughan we decided that Pho Vaughan had the most reviews and highest rating and set the GPS for it. It's located in the strip mall/condo combo plaza across from Canada's Wonderland and parking is 1 row so at peak hours it is TIGHT. There is no turn around at the end of the row in either direction so if you don't find parking you're forced to do a 3 point turn to go back in the other direction. This isn't a strike against Pho Vaughan, just one for the plaza and a heads up to folks who might visit. As soon as I entered, I knew the reviews had led us in the right direction. Time at Yelp has taught me that if you go for ethnic food and see more people not of that ethnicity than of it, you should beware. If you see lots of people of that ethnicity of close to it, you can trust it. This spot was right one the money. Like most Pho, the prices were cheap ($8.50 for a LARGE) and the service was quiet but efficient and quick. The difference was the broth, very very clean, with no lasting effects of other places where it's rife with things like MSG (you can always tell because 1-3 hours later your fingers swell and you get the driest cotton mouth you've ever had. I had the 116 combo (might not be the exact number) but it had rare beef, braised brisket and beef balls - loved it. For two of us to have the same, both large and tea came out tax and tip to $22. Where are you going to eat for that cheap these days. No where! Definitely a solid Pho spot in Vaughan - I'll be back! Eatcrest Out read more

The man of the GTA, Kris U was craving pho so he suggested this place for a brief lunch. Boy, oh boyyyy, I am SO glad he did and introduced me to such a gem. He had warned me about the parking so I showed up with plenty of time to spare just in case I had to fight a person for a spot. Or three. Who knows? Luckily, spots were plentiful but I do suggest you back in for an easier exit - you never know when somebody dumb is going to come speeding down the narrow lane. The menu was cheap!! Which a poor girl is definitely a fan of. I approve. They had a lot of different options but also had a plain pho which I could add veggies to for $3 (which was the only pricey part for some bok choy and a few other assorted vegetables). I had a medium and it came piping hot with a stack of veggies on top. The noodles were average but everything tasted amazing together. I'm not even a big fan of bok choy, but I did enjoy it with the fuuuuh. I also told Kris that he HAD to try to avocado milkshake as it is definitely a staple in any pho meal and he has never had it anywhere. (I know right?! I'm shocked too) I recall him saying it was pretty good and definitely filling. The place is pretty small but service is stellar. She apologized profusely for taking half our tables to seat another customer even though most just do it anyway. The place definitely gets filled up quickly during lunch hour though, and I can see why! I'll definitely drop by here when in the area; I don't mind eating pho alone and for such a good price, why not?? read more

Instinct tells me that this is a pretty good Vietnamese restaurant after having been here regularly. #26 Bun Cha(Hanoi Pork, $7.50) seems to look pretty authentic from what I can research online. It had 2 Pork Patties and the rest was Pork Fillets grilled and put into Nuoc Cham. On Weekends they have that Weekend Special written in Vietnamese for all those Vietnamese patrons that I only notice here and barely any other ethnicities. From the words from the regular menu, I compiled it to be Duck Pho(#23 Bun Mang Vit) from Duck stock which took some time to arrive but nice to try something outside of the box of what we Canadians seem to think is a limited variety of Vietnamese choices. *Duck and Bamboo Vermicelli Noodle Soup* Pho Vaughan is now officially upgraded to 4 *Star* Sorry Gentlemen, I believe both the waitresses are already taken. read more

Not bad overall. Had the special pho. The broth was salty and a bit greasy but had good flavour( my girlfriend's was more fragrant and less salty, I think I got the last bit of a pot). The overall quantity was pretty good. There are only S,M, and Large($9.75) sizes available. There could have been more meat but the cuts were pretty good quality and not fatty. The veggie dish did not have culantro which made me a bit sahd. And the place was missing my fav condiment, pickled peppers. The condensed milk ice coffee came in a plastic cup, tasted good and nice and thick, 3$. Overall 6.5-7/10! read more

Been here a few times with my family, esp my mom whenever we are feeling for some Viet food. Not bad considering Toronto/GTA has a pretty strong scene of Vietnamese food, plus me growing up primarily eating it! I mainly get the pho here - I've tried other dishes before, but find that they're better at making pho. The restaurant isn't too big, but it does have a reasonable amount of seating. What I like about this place too is how they have a good amount of parking! Why I can't give it a solid 5? Well, maybe it's because though it does have decent Vietnamese food, I feel like I've had it at other places that does it a bit better - though give it a try if you're ever in Maple! read more

I love this place. It's a real ma&pa operation. The Pho is rich, balanced and very tasty. The chicken fried rice is a hit with the kids. Strawberry slushy is excellent. The service is very friendly.

131 - actually in love with this dish. Mistakenly ordered 125 thinking it was THE bun cha we wanted. Got this noodle in tomato soup-looking dish. Tasted horrible. I saw others eating this and I am sorry, but I could not understand... how?! After getting the wrong dish, we ordered what we came for. Number 131, under the section with a bolded word BUN KHA. Uploaded photo of the menu for your reference - you're welcome. The dipping sauce/soup is vinegary and you get a heaping amount of noodle that you dip into the sauce. Simply amazing! read more

My first time at pho Vaughn. Hubby just searched and we ended up coming in. We ordered the House Special Noodles and spring roll. Our noodles came but it was the wrong noodles. Beef noodles that came looked good, with lots of beef without the meat balls etc , but I had wanted the special so I asked server if it was the right one. Noodles went back in the kitchen, and came back out which I believe was the same bowl, looked like they took out some of the beef and added in ONLY half of a meat ball. Food is ok..just that Service is a bit slower than other viet restaurant I have been in. Not good when in a rush. Even just trying to get the bill took 10 minutes. There were already 3 staff on the floor. Would I come back? Not sure... I did hear another customer comment on how the rice tasted really good. I may give them another chance.. but for now, that's the comment that I have for them . read more

I used to love this place, it was my favourite place in literally, the world, for their bun cha Hanoi.

This is my go to place for Pho. I used to drive all the way downtown on Spadina for a decent bowl of pho. I now find the Pho in Vaughan so much better. The establishment is clean, soup broth is not too greasy. I like their noodles too. They don't use the flat thick rice noodles. They use thin rice noodles. ( that's a personal preference). I mostly order beef tendon, beef brisket noodle soup. I like to load tons of basil in it and one squirt of lime. Delish! Of course I always finish my meal with an avocado milk shake. read more

How have I not seen this place before? Definitely my new fav pho place in Vaughan. Also, it's a good sign when you see a lot of older Vietnamese people eating there to show it's actually authentic. The menu selection shows the authenticity as well as it's very similar to what you'd see in Vietnam. I'll definitely be back! :-) read more

Pho Vaughn seems to be quite popular with a variety of clientele. During peak periods, it is packed full with loyal clientel. A small joint on the east side of Jane Street in a plaza north of Rutherford and opposite the auto sales showrooms. A family establishment that has been around for long enough that the tabletop Formica is worn to a ultra smooth surface. Love that they will serve a pot of tea with the meal, while many places have gone away from that and only do so when you order it. The broth varies in depth but is usually delicious enough without needing to add modifying condiments. Bean sprouts are crust as they should as is the basil. Appreciate that they will serve some Thai Red collies along with the crisp veggies. Noodle texture is also consistently good, just the way I like it. read more

Drove super far from the east end to try this place & came by around 4pm and the place was closed. On a Saturday... I was not happy at all. There was no signs indicating why it was closed when store hours are listed open. There's no reason for me to call and check if they're suppose to be opened. This review could possibly change if I ever end up coming back and if the food is 'good' read more

Just across from Wonderland this is a nice spot with excellent food. Had the rare beef pho and really enjoyed it. They are very generous with their portions. I can't eat noodles and they were very accommodating giving me extra bean sprouts at request. Staff are friendly and ask after you've ordered if they are unsure about your order. Which is nice, I'd rather them ask than wing it. It is on the smaller side it can hold a max of about 40 people. But at the speed they are cranking the food out you're good. Will return! read more

This is one of my favorite pho places. The lady owner knows my usual. The broth is always clear and flavorful and most importantly not MSG infused nor oilly. The noodles are cooked timely right.
