    Chicken vermicelli- pretty good!
    Yukie C.

    I was around the area and saw this place, honestly didn't have high expectations since it looked a bit run down but was pleasantly surprised! I got the chicken vermicelli and iced milk tea and both were surprisingly good! The milk tea was creamy and had strong tea flavour. The chicken vermicelli was loaded with veggies and generous portions of meat. The girl there was very friendly and nice! I enjoyed my meal there and will def go again if I am in the area. Prices are reasonable.

    Great restaurant with very friendly customer service! Owner King Is excellent guy! The food is amazing, I try the Pho. The soup taste excellent, no MSG. Very fulfilling!!

    Pretty good pho in this plaza. They only do one size bowls and everything is pretty much under $10. Quick service, no nonsense kind of place. I liked the pho, the meatballs were good and not full of cartridge. I would def come back for a quick bite there if I need pho!

    pretty hidden in a plaza and looks a little rundown me and my friends all got the pho and i got the number one for $8.25. it arrived pretty quickly and came with a decent portion. some black pepper was sprinkled at the top which I haven't seen before at other pho restaurants. Overall this pho place is pretty average and not a must go to but if you are craving pho this place is decent. the meat was tender and the noodles were good however the soup didn't have the best flavour. don't think I would come here again because it didn't stand out to me

    I was actually going to get groceries but was hungry and as I was walking towards the grocery store I saw a sign with different deals. The prices looked fair so I decided to go in. I ordered the house special Vietnamese noodle beef soup. I sat down and in about five minutes my hot bowl of noodle soup came to me. The first thing I did is take a sip of the soup and the broth tasted very good was actually very impressed with the soup broth. it was definitely very good and the portions for good had a lot of meat and I strongly recommend that anybody that's in that area to make their way to this restaurant because it was a pleasant surprise

    My own secret order - lemongrass chicken and pork chop. Not on the menu haha

    I'm a student and I live really close by. Unless I m hanging out with friends, I go here to eat every single day. The reasons why I like here so much are the food taste really delicious (I tried everything in the menu), the price are cheap for this quality and quantity. I have been to Vietnam twice in my life, and I love pho a lot. I tried different pho in Toronto but I think this place have the most similar soup base compare to what I had in Vietnam. Although the pho noodles are not as good as Vietnam, It is still pretty good compare to most of the place in Toronto. The beef are fresh and just perfectly done every single time (never over cook. I hate well done beef in a pho). Their grilled lemongrass beef, pork chop and chicken taste really amazing and really juicy. I don't know what's their secret methods but I know whenever I order it and they will grill it at that time. They make sure the food that provide to customers are freshly made. Tbh. I love the lemongrass even more than the pho haha. The last part of their menu are Thai food. I tried all of them and my recommendation will be pad Thai, Malaysian fry rice, Thai beef and the red curry chicken. Pad Thai - their sauce just perfectly prefect. Not too sour, not too sweet. Just right Malaysian - smells really good, a little spicy and the favour will be a little bit like xo sauce. Thai beef - fresh deep fry beef with their own secret sauce. Similar to other Thai food. Sweet and sour and a bit of spicy. Yummy. Red curry chicken - a little of spicy , love their curry sauce. Delicious. All the food served with rice and veggies except pho of cuz. Most of the food are around $8-$10 and really good amount of food. I know I might be over compliment but this is one of my favourite restaurant so yeah lol.

Food was excellent and service was accommodating. I had beef rib pho and complimentary warm tea. The sauce to go with the beef rib was quite good. I got the rest of the pho to go, as it was a huge serving. It was a bit of a challenge trying to put the contents of the huge bowl into the takeout containers and I imagine other people have this same issue. Will definitely be back. Next time I'd like to try their banh xeo and com sườn bì chả.

They specialize in meat platters where you can create DIY fresh rolls. The platters come with lettuce, mints, vermicelli, rice paper and house special sauce. They also have pho, rice, and vermicelli dishes as well. Washrooms are located downstairs which are not accessible. They only accept cash (with a 10% cash discount) or debit. I previously have had Anh Dao for take out before - their pork sausages (nem nuong) are delicious and perfect when you wrap them with vermicelli and fresh herbs. Even when I got take out, the restaurant gives you plenty of fresh ingredients to create your own fresh rolls. I recently went to Anh Dao for lunch to dine in at the restaurant on a Friday around 12:30pm. The place was pretty quiet as it seemed like I was their first customer that day. During my time there, there was another party of 2 that also came in to eat lunch. I opted for the house special soup pho ($19.95). Service was friendly and my food came at a reasonable time after I ordered. The house special pho included slice rare beef, beef brisket, beef balls, and tripe. The soup was slightly sweet with a nuttier flavour. The noodles were unfortunately not the fresh kind but there were ample beef ingredients in the bowl of pho for the price you are paying. I love how in addition to siracha and hoisin sauce, there is also ground up chili sauce as well as a pickled sliced garlic and jalapeno pepper mixture at the table. Moreover, you get bean spouts, a red chili pepper, fresh herbs, and lime that you can add to your pho broth. Overall, a tasty bowl of pho where the quality of the beef was good. Anh Dao is a tasty option for Vietnamese food in the College and Spadina area. Definitely do try their meat platters as they are quite delicious!

I tried to finish the broth because it was so good. I would have given that first bowl 4 stars! Today was terrible! It just felt like a super water-downed broth that I didn't want to drink. Everything was just boiled and dumped in a water-downed soup base. The least they can do is use broth and dump it in the seafood tomato based soup. This was a 9pm dinner. They had their own family visiting to close up shop at 11. I tried asking them what happened to the broth today but they didn't speak English or just decided not to. It was disappointing for a bowl of $21 + tax noodle that was just pretty bland tonight even though it looked the part.... Sigh 2 stars today but couldn't average it out to 3 because now I remembered the spring rolls from the first visit were soggy Yes they are friendly but don't know if it's a place you should come before 7pm to catch the good broth?

    They have 5 types of dry noodles with pork tossed with sauce, which is super hard to find as a dish…read more(even if you look for similar dishes in Singaporean, Malaysian, Thai and Cambodian cuisines). The dry noodle dishes under the green column use egg noodles & those under the brown use rice noodles but the toppings & sauce are the same. The most pricey rice noodles are Japanese but otherwise the difference is width. Got the thin egg noodle version in large. It's recommended to add pickled garlic & red vinegar. The soup was pretty tasty with a natural sweetness, 2 springy half fishballs & a large, very fresh shrimp. The sauce was basically oyster sauce but pickled garlic, red vinegar, hoi sin & chili sauce were available to add complexity. The noodles weren't wet but were not dry either. Large was a very big bowl it came with minced pork, thin sliced pork beansprouts & greens. The pickled garlic was good. Also got a shrimp fritter on the side for $2.50. It was big with one tiny shrimp. The juxtaposition was comical but it was cheap. It was not warm but the fritter was crispy & tasty. Unfortunately the shrimp itself was dry & brittle. Service was good, especially for an Asian place.

Right down to the non-white washed clientele. I'd always prefer to dine where the "locals" dine, and being in a multicultural city like Toronto, it's difficult to fine a hidden gem that hasn't been invaded by foreigners (I'm laughing inside because I'm not Viet and am disliking myself for being that invader; however, I can pass for a Viet if I just point to the table I want and the menu item I'd like ). So, please keep this place to yourself as I would hate to line up the next time I come.

Everything we tried felt interesting, flavorful, and also very reasonably priced, which made the experience even better. The Dry Pho with Spiced Beef was definitely a standout, the beef was super tender, and I liked that it came with a bowl of clear broth on the side, though it was a little salty for me. The Pho Poutine with Fries was so satisfying, loaded with beef, rich sauce, and cheese. We also tried the Betal Leaf Wrapped Beef, and having it wrapped like a taco was surprisingly delicious. My favorite might have been the Fried Spring Rolls though, so crispy on the outside, with a generous and tasty filling.
