    Pho tai XL

    First time for lunch here! Great service. Thank you for the awesome food. Highly recommend it.

    305L - "special" beef rice noodle soup
    Gordon C.

    Decent, fast, and clean. The pho is alright and reasonably tasty, but nothing special. Service is fast and friendly (although expect to get up and pay at the counter). Meals arrive within minutes of ordering, as it should! As is true everywhere, price is a bit on the high side now at $16-$19 a bowl (depending on size) and the bowls seem to have shrunk a bit. Bring cash -- there's a 10% cash discount.

    South Vietnam noodles with Pennywort juice

    An old school pho place that has paaaages of food option and efficient no-nonsense staff that are always busy. Food may not be the gold standard, but it is hot, plentiful and filling. I got the South Vietnam style noodle soup, which came with seafood, quail egg, BBQ pork and a bunch of veggies. It also unexpectedly came with a shrimp cracker on the side. Broth was light and clear, but the noodles had plenty of flavor. Also got the Penny wort leave juice. Never had it before. It had a very herbaceous flavor that went well with the meal.

    Came here after a long day at work and it was so busy at 8pm! Noodle soups were amazing! Spring rolls were a bit overcooked and tiny, but still tasty. Will definitely come back!

    Seafood clear noodle with shrimp cracker

    We used to come here for pho a few years ago, haven't been back in a while but gave their seafood clear noodle with shrimp cracker a try and it was ok. The soup wasn't really flavourful. My friends got the satay and tomato soup but it was all pretty water down/not strong in flavours. The portions are really big though. I had a hard time finishing a large (smallest size they offer for their speciality noodles).

    The good about this place is the restaurant interior. Among many Pho restaurant, this is considered to be nicely decorated and clean. The service was not very attentive. As I had to walk to the counter to pick up the menu, and then put in my order and then pay my bill in the end. But this restaurant is meant to serve you. Most disappointing would be the pho and spring rolls. Just the look of the spring roll is already telling me that this is more of the Chinese style wrap than the Vietnamese style. It is not crispy like how I used to eat them. The raw beef pho came very well done with only the tiny tip that is outside the soup that is raw. Also both the tendon and brisket are not soft in texture. The noodle is a bit on the chewy side. The soup is moderate, but at the end of day, I could feel the MSG kicking in. Overall, I will definitely not come back for pho nor the spring rolls. However, I do love their washroom.

    It has been a while since the last time I have been to Pho Viet Xpress. I heard they have 15% discount on all orders for the month of March (2020) so I decided to check them out and take advantage of their deals. Luckily they have a dedicated vegetarian menu. I ordered #612 which is technically not Pho but is close enough! Very tasty and flavourful. Amazing portions. Affordable prices. Friendly and quick service. Cash or debit only. I strongly recommend it.

    Fresh beef roll

    How do you look at your first love and tell her the mascara is dropping? If you never tried this place, you should. It's popular for good reasons and their Xpress Special beed rice noodle (Pho) remains a great signature dish. But is it the absolute best? No, and I feel the establishment may be struggling due to COVID. Pho Viet Xpress has a special place in our family's heart because it was our first Pho place. The kids learned to eat pho there and it became a regular family tradition. However, on our last visit, we noticed some cracks in the otherwise stellar facade. The broth of the pho felt a little more diluted than usual. There were pieces of hard fat in the fresh beef roll, and the pad Thai was too sweet. Please, don't read this and think you should skip this restaurant. The staff is fantastic, friendly, and fast. They are applying COVID restrictions admirably. The place is clean, and this is still a fine establishment. However, given the number of times we've been there, we can't help but feel it was better before. Additionally, the stiff competition from other outstanding Pho restaurants in Toronto means that any institution's mistakes get judged hard and fast. Overall, these were still minor issues. We didn't feel like we had to send anything back. And I honestly hope those are just tiny mishaps in a trying time rather than a sign of things to come.

    Still trying to find a viet restaurant in the GTA that will top those of YEG (best viet food I've had thus far!!). Pho Viet Xpress is located in a plaza on Bathurst (& Steeles). There's a good amount of tables here & quite spacious and clean too - not cramped like alot of other viet restaurants. Service was ok - they're efficient but forgot to blanch the bean sprouts like we asked (sall gucci tho, I'll live ;) hahaa). There was a couple tables of Vietnamese families when we came so, it's gotta be at least somewhat legit right?! Been here a couple times and the food is pretty consistent. Cha gio (chicken, shrimp, & veggie filled) - I didn't like the wrapper they used... it's different than every other place. It's not a spring roll wrapper nor is it the rice paper wrapper; it's kind of dense and not that crispy. Pho tai - Really good, clean broth w/ well-rounded flavour. The amount of meat they gave each time we visited was a bit inconsistent - can be alot, can be a little. Vermicelli w/ nem nuong - Yummy grilled pork meatballs. Good bun. Hu tieu my tho - Good change of pace if you ever get bored of eating your usual order. It came with a shrimp cracker but, the shrimp in it was totally old... the texture and taste had totally changed (for the worse). The broth was very clear, not too heavily seasoned or rich. The clear noodles stay nice and springy. Price is totally average - maybe even slightly cheaper than the places in Markham & Pho Metro (still one of my faves). Overall, pretty good choice for viet if you're ever in the area! Food is good, service is good, and prices are helllla good.

    I am used to travelling to Scarborough for Pho, so this is pretty good Pho for the Thornhill area. I ordered the XL (315-Well-Done Beef, Soft Tendon, and Beef Tripe Rice Noodle Soup) and the noodles were prepared in a styrofoam box container with the meat on top. The noodles were cold and were REALLY sticking together like a giant lump. It was as if the noodles were prepared well in advance and placed in the container as a ready to order. The amount of meat was limited and the bean sprouts, mint leaves and pepper came in a bag with hot sauce and hoisin sauce. Having a separate packet for sauces is a nice touch. Although one of the mint leaves looked very stale. The soup came in a separate container. There was a steady stream of people coming in and out of the restaurant. You can also order through their website (pay online if you wish) and the food is ready for pickup in 15 minutes or so. There's about 10 free parking spots in front, with a few more spots on the side.

    Late night pho
    Edmund W.

    I was craving pho after coming home from a friend's place, and since I didn't reach my step goals, I decided to walk there. My hunger diminished slightly from the two-hour exercise, so I ordered a large-sized house special. Their bowls were small, large and x-large - there was no regular. The clear broth was full of rich flavour - not too salty - complementing the mild spice of raw sliced onion toppings, enhancing its taste with the sweetness of Thai basils and beansprouts. However, the mix of rare and well-done beef lumped together as if it had previously frozen.

    Because where this Pho restaurant is situated, it is relatively cleaner than its other pho siblings. You come here because you want to see how on fleek the staff's eyebrows are. Lol jk we're here for Vietnamese food, come on give me a laugh. So I would ONLY recommend Pho here, maybe a 4/5~The soup is great, and that's all that really matters, oh and they use noodles that are right for my taste. Sometimes you go to chinese owned Pho places and you get these noodles that aren't just quite right. But if that's what your used to then that's fine too, everyone has different taste, but this review isn't about you. The rice dishes (Com tam) 2/5~ the rice they use is just normal rice. For me this is a deal breaker. Like if you look good on the outside and have a horrible personality, it's just hard to swallow... figuratively. Vermicelli dishes 3/5~ I mean you can't really screw up here. Vermicelli and fish sauce then some meat. Of course you need to get Nem nuong (Viet pork sausage) with this or else I would question why you are getting this at all. They have a different take on this. It's not your usual red sausage cut up. But they have cute balls put on skewer, the taste is also different and unique. Not bad, but its just not what im used to. So there you have it, hope you enjoy your meal here! I wonder if you got to the end of this review :p

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.

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.

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?

    Vietnoms has gotten so popular these days that I don't make an attempt to go on the weekends prime…read moretime as there is often a wait or you may get a cramped seat at the counter if you don't want to wait as long. Best to go on weekdays to get a better chance for seating. Recently tried a couple new items on their off menu including the curry beef noodle (fried egg noodles on top), these crispy triangle shaped rolls (forgot the name) maybe pork and crap roll? Then followed up with something I've gotten before the dry chicken pho noodle salad. The curry beef with the crispy egg noodles reminds me of khao soi though there is less of a coconut flavour and more salty and savoury. I don't usually have curry Vietnamese style so I didn't know what to expect. But we found it a little too salty and also I personally prefer my curry a little sweeter like Japanese or coconut-ish like Thai or HK style curries. It's good, just not to our palate. It's a generous portion so we took it home and actually used the remaining curry broth to make a tasty stew with other ingredients and a touch of marinara sauce and it turned out really tasty! The crispy triangles rolls we had were fantastic and I like the side of fresh greens with it. Dry chicken pho noodle salad is always good. I like that they provide the broth of beef balls on the side so you can always enjoy it with the broth if you like. I think the extra broth with beef balls only happens for dine-in though because I have taken out that same dish before and I don't remember them including the extra broth on the side. The other time we also tried their shaking beef (comes with a fried egg on top) with rice and ordered the tapioca seafood and pork noodle soup - look through my later photos for reference. I don't think we'll order the shaking beef again but the tapioca noodle soup would be in rotation. Love that they are always experimenting with different dishes and I'm always excited to try something new here from their off-menu dishes.

The sizzling meat plate was actually not sizzling and was Luke warm. (Although flavours were not bad). The banh mi sandwich was kinda soggy even without dipping yet. And The fried spring rolls tasted like they were bought and frozen and not handmade. (I could be wrong but if I am, then that's even worse) All in all I won't be back, sorry But If you do go, maybe you will have a better experience with the food 3 stars is the best I can give, given it is a local spot and deserves all the support from Yelpers.
