Each time I order from UFO Restaurant, the food is consistently delicious and fresh. My favourite items are the rare beef pho and pork banh mi. I recently tried the Vietnamese iced coffee as well, and it was very tasty; sweet but not overly sweet, which is great. I typically order via uber eats and the food / drinks arrive well-packaged and secure. read more

Yummy pho! I've heard from so many people that this place is amazing and I'm glad I finally went. The hours are a little weird but it's good! There are seats inside and on the patio. You order and pay at the cash and they give you a buzzer. It's very casual but it's good, affordable food! read more

UFO Restaurant - Sandwiches Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Cute little family owned place with simple eats. We ordered shrimp fresh roll and a tofu banh mi with a hot Vietnamese coffee. We were able to use the peanut sauce on the tofu banh mi too. The fresh roll is light and what you'd expect. The tofu banh mi was really good, they were generous with tofu which was warm and crispy with a light fragrance. The coffee was good as well, I think they were able to substitute condense milk with oat milk which also cut out the sweet flavor, which we preferred. Really brought out the coffee's aroma. read more

Authentic Vietnamese food in Toronto king west area. Very casual style restaurant tailored to takeout. There is seating inside and on the patio but your food is served in takeout containers and one time use cutlery. We ordered the vegetarian pho and shrimp vermicelli. Overall, food is average but still satisfying. If you need a good Vietnamese food fix that's affordable without the frills, this is a good option. Tip: There is a discount when you pay with cash. read more

UFO Restaurant - Pork vermicelli - Sandwiches Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A local Vietnamese and greasy spoon brunch spot located in the King West neighbourhood. Prices are relatively affordable, but the food seemed pretty average. You order and pay first, then you get a buzzer to get called for your food, even if you are dining in. There is a small patio and wifi available. We both tried the vermicelli with pork and spring roll and it was just ok. Portions are average for Vietnamese restaurants as well. Service is no frills. Washrooms are downstairs. read more

We ordered via skip and I must say it was impressive an chicken bahn mi. It was delicious and loved that the bread was still crunchy. The filing was also great and fresh. The pickled carrots were very good. I wish they put the red chillies to make it more spicy which we specified in our order. Our veggie pho was good, although my husband thought that beef pho would've been more flavorful. But the freshness of the basil, sprouts and veggies made up for it. It was packaged so well that nothing leaked. Overall a good experience. I can't wait to go in person and taste more items on their menu.. read more

the menu. UFO is located on Adelaide and Niagara street and is the perfect lunch spot. You order at the front, pick up your food and can choose a seat indoors or outdoor on the patio, which is nicely fenced and shaded. I ordered the veggie vermicelli bowl and it was delicious and fresh. I also got the mango pineapple smoothie which was a little sweet for my liking but nonetheless tasty. My friend got the shrimp fresh rolls and he said it was one of the best he's had. The portions were also massive so I had to take my food to go. It's a go to spot in the city that is very reasonably priced! read more

Cheap food and it can be alright for a quick and easy meal You do run a bit of a risk thought, it's not the most sanitary. I had the worst food poisoning from here which made me want to never go back read more

$13 (cash price) for a bowl of pho is unheard of nowadays. Yes, you have to pay and pick it up yourself. Yes, it is served in a takeout bowl. But where are you able to have pho in a patio! A good pho is all about the broth, and good broth UFO does have. Quantity of meat is generous too. The cons: chili oil not spicy, pho took a long time despite 5 people in the kitchen, no beef tripes. read more

Found this cute little restaurant just walking by. Always looked busy and decided to check it out. Inside is part convenience store and looks to be a family run store. Prices are cheap for the area about 10-13 for a bowl of pho. We got the pho special which was ok not the best pho broth I had but decent for value. We also tried their pork banh mi which was pretty good for $6. Bread tasted pretty fresh. Service was fast and looked quite busy for a weekday during lunch time read more

Delicious Pho, Bun Bo Hue and grilled pork banh mi. I got a house special juice here the last few times and I just don't think it's worth the $6 price when they don't even fill it all the way to the top... I would say liquid only fills 3/4 and they add the foam plus ice to make it look a little more than it actually is. Flavour of the bun bo Hue is good but wish it came with the pork bones and pork blood. Also wish they sealed the hole on the lid with tape so it doesn't end up spilling everywhere in the bag. I'm looking forward to the warmer weather so I can enjoy patio season here on my break. read more

A cross between Restaurant and convenience store, this inconspicuous spot receives alot of hype. We got spring rolls, beef pho and bun bo hue. The spring rolls were super crispy and jam packed with filling, definitely a must have. Unfortunately our noodles fell short. They do not skimp on the meat, but we did not find the broths that flavourful. Also, the noodles are round and not the typical flat ones. read more

All these years... never seen or heard of this place before. Adelaide is not a street most walk down (residential or thru fare). Interior is bizarre; lotto tix, pho, cleaning supplies, unique eating/sitting areas. Chicken vermicelli was excellent. Want to go back ASAP; try the pho. Nice family running things... read more

Is it a pho restaurant? Is it a convenience store? Is it a neighbourhood breakfast spot? UFO is all three! This place has been here for as long as I remember. With stiff competition from Golden Turtle and Pho Tien Thanh up in Ossington, you wouldn't think this place is worth a visit. You would be... sort of right. I would say that the two aforementioned places have better quality pho. However, the vermicelli dishes are superior here. That's not to say that the pho is terrible. Quite the contrary; it's pretty good! I haven't had the opportunity to try any of the burgers/sandwiches or breakfast items, but I'll update my review as I eventually make my way through the menu. Also, I have to add that the hours of UFO are sort of strange, so make sure that they're going to be open before heading over. read more

The BEST! I probably am obsessed but I order from UFO every week. Everything tastes amazing. I've order the bun Bo hue, banh mi, vermicelli, spring rolls, and fresh rolls. Everything has tasted amazing and I love the grilled pork! If you are looking for an affordable and delicious meal UFO is the place! read more

Visiting from out of town, the Bahn Mi at UFO was one of my favorite things I had while in Toronto! Loved the homey atmosphere too.

Pleasantly surprised by this hidden Vietnamese shop! The pho was delicious and the broth was soo tasty. Affordable and will definitely be coming back when I'm in the area. read more

UFO Restaurant - Sandwiches Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

After a great time outdoors, my friends and I decided to satisfy our hunger at UFO Restaurant. The variety on their menu was impressive, providing something for everyone. We were a bit surprised that we had to order at the counter and bring our food to the table ourselves, but the friendly staff member who took our order guided us through the process, explaining everything in a manner that was easy to understand. We ordered B3 Egg Benedict, P4 Large size Special Pho, and V7 Grilled Chicken & Spring Roll vermicelli. The pho had a mildly flavoured soup, packed with an ample amount of tender meat and generous portions of rice noodles. As for the vermicelli, it was served with large pieces of spring roll and juicy grilled chicken. The contrasting textures of the crunchy spring roll, succulent chicken, and soft vermicelli were an absolute delight, and I savoured every bite. The ambience of the outside patio added to the pleasant dining experience, with small birds visiting every now and then. Overall, we had a fantastic time at UFO Restaurant. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty meal that does not break the bank. read more

Finally got to try the food in restaurant. It was fresh, delicious and very tasty. I really liked the veggie spring rolls. It's the best of both worlds when one person wants American brunch food and someone else wants Vietnamese food. Coffee was very good. The only thing I didn't like was the consistency of the beef balls, i like the denser ones. Also the wait for the food was very long even though we went in person. read more

UFO is my dream lunch spot - casual, neighborly, tasty, and affordable. The exterior sort of invites questions, with a sign that presents as both a corner store and diner. To further confuse things, a neon fixture which reads 'PHO' stands under the open sign, beside a sandwich board with a Vietnamese menu. If you can wrap your head around all this, then you'll have got a pretty good sense of what UFO is all about. It's an eclectic combination of corner store, diner, and Vietnamese eatery. The interior is sort of split into the corner store half and the dining room half. Nothing more to mention here really - it's no frills. The staff is very friendly and attentive. What makes this place so great is the food. I haven't tried the diner fare, but they've got the pho and the Vietnamese bites down just right. The pho is meaty and rich without weighing you down, the chicken fresh rolls are filling and delicious with enough char and sweetness to keep things exciting, and the banh mì hits all the notes a banh mì should (minus the cheap deli meat cuts - the options here are grilled chicken, pork, or tofu). Overall, UFO is a charming little neighbourhood joint. It feels special eating here. read more

If you DØNT come here, you'll regret it. You know those cold winter days you're just craving the comforting, greasy diner spoon goods? Well UFO has got you. From eggs, burgers and poutine to even pho. Came in for lunch on Monday and you can tell it looks like it's a mom and pop shop. A fusion Vietnamese American diner. Sandwiches are bomb. Be afraid of the sides; they are the size your AUNTIES give you when you want a SMALL. Will be here again to try the pho. BTW, it's as actual convenience shop, so get your fix of lotto tix, chips, or even pens. See ya there. read more

UFO Restaurant - Sandwiches Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Unbeatable price and an ~international~ menu with pho, burgers, eggs & bacon, and even freshly pressed juices? This is a restaurant inside a convenient store...so ambience is cozy and feels like a family kitchen. The service is prompt and my coffee was never emptied. The food came to us in under 10 minutes. The juices and smoothies are made to order too. They even take card for payment Pho is around $7 for a small, breakfast ranges from $4-9 and includes home fries/bacon, and smoothies are around $4. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area. read more

Yup, Toronto has a restaurant within a convenience store - you heard me. I came here for a meeting during breakfast hours, but they don't just serve breakfast! They also serve Vietnamese dishes at a low cost so you're really getting a bang for your buck! I often noticed customers coming in and out knew the owners by name, and it went both ways. So you definitely, get an understanding that they are a customer focused restaurant. Therefore, definitely a friendly and welcoming staff. The menu has a wide selection of food items at a great cost if you're just stopping by or looking for some great eats. I was having a light breakfast and ordered a coffee and French toast ($6.50) whereas others order Phõ for about $6-8. Food was delicious all around! A new experience and a good one if you ask me! If you're a little skeptic about eating in a convenience store, UFO is the place to go to in order to change your mind. read more

UFO Restaurant - Vermicelli bowl - Sandwiches Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A great neighbourhood spot for an affordable meal. They serve your staple diner fare (eggs, bacon, sausage, etc) along with a selection of Vietnamese options. Very interesting combination, but they make it work. The food is great and the staff is friendly, albeit a bit disorganized. There were 6 people working with no apparent designated role, except for the cashier lady. Miscommunication between staff resulted in my order being right on the third try. In a way, that added to the charm of the place. I would come back but only if I'm not in a hurry as dine-in or take out takes longer than other diners or pho restaurants. read more

It's gone downhill. They've converted from good traditional breakfast diner service where they used to come to your table, take your order and serve you with a smile and pay with tip on your way out. They used to have an open outdoor seating area to enjoy the fresh air in the summer. Now, you place your order at the counter, pay tip in advance and receive a buzzer device for when your order is ready. You then need to grab your foot which now come in take out containers and plastic utensils and carry all your food and drinks back to your table. No other service. They've enclosed the outdoor space. Overall a very uninviting and cold service without personality. read more

Confession time: I love greasy spoons Okay, that's not much of a confession as you can see by my reviews there aren't too many salad joints listed, but this is more relevant because UFO has existed down the block from me for almost six year and I've never been. That, ladies and gents, will change. Unassuming is far too...unassuming of a term for this casual lunch counter, but hell, we'll run with it for the sake of brevity. This is of the mold of old fashioned lunch counter greasy spoons with menu signs that pre-date Nixon. But the food is delicious. The fries? Golden crispy goodness and Jesus, the serving sizes would embarrass John Daly. I got a medium and it was a wealth of French fried riches. And now they've started serving pho. My favorite food in all of Mother Earth is now here. And it's pretty good!!! The broth has a nice rich but not overdone consistency to it. A bit bitter, but marginally so and almost unnoticeable. The noodles were of a buttery consistency, as they should be. And there was plenty of onions (don't go to see your girlfriend after this). Presentation was spot on, and it was quick. The family that run this were all so friendly. Some more talkative than others, but that's cool. Everyone was still nice. Prices are very fair. For a bag of potatoes, large soup with extra noodles and a soda, $18. To infinity and beyond. Worth the trip! UPDATE: Have now been about 5 times, and everything is still great! Had the bacon cheeseburger, eggs Benedict and fresh rolls in addition to the pho (which I had again) and all is good! The burger was my least favorite but was still tasty and those fries are great every time. The hollandaise sauce is out of this world read more

the pho is great and reasonably priced also can't believe their chili oil is free bc it's bomb

Came here twice while visiting Toronto. Personally for me this place is a dream come true! I love a good breakfast but I also enjoy having other options with my breakfast. The menu is incredibly unique and accommodating. Breakfast is served all day and so are the Vietnamese dishes. We ordered breakfast, fresh rolls and Pho. Everything was very tasty and fresh. The portions are very generous as well. The establishment is very low key (yes it is also a convenience store) I would definitely return and recommend to all. read more

Very cool spot. Food: we had the pho, veggie omelette, and fresh squeezed orange juice. All were fantastic, pho was excellent! Ambiance: very raw, mom & pop, but also very friendly, comfortable, and casual. Their prices are very fair and reflect that this isn't a typical downtown Toronto atmosphere Overall, incredibly pleased with the whole experience. Speedy and genuine service. Will definitely come back read more

I've been sick the last few days and craving hot soup. I ordered a medium side of beef broth, 1 bread bun (they accomodated this) and chicken & spring roll vermicelli. The broth was super hot and delicious. Good portion size too. It hit the spot! Refrigerated part of the broth and can tell it's homemade from real bone gelatin. The chicken from the vermicelli dish was so good!! Exceeded my expectation! Super tasty and perfectly cooked. The pickled carrots were grated at perfect thinness and very well seasoned. The cukes were also perfectly sized julienned. Excellent ratio of meat and lots of veggies. Most people will also like the portion of the noodles. I just don't eat a lot of rice noodles so I didn't finish them, but the texture of them was on point, not dry and rubbery like take-out rice noodles often can be. The spring roll was very filled and crispy. The bread bun was surprisingly very fresh. That perfect soft fluffiness inside and crusty on the outside. Their bahn mi's must be so good. Service was friendly, and they give a discount if you pay in cash, which I appreciated. Highly recommend this little hidden gem!! read more

I must have walked past this place 50 times and thought nothing of it. Then a friend told me they served breakfast and my life changed. Half a convenience store, and half a greasy spoon, UFO was like a little hidden neighbourhood gem that changed the weekend breakfast game for me. Let's get one thing clear - you come here for the basics. It's not gourmet. There is a whiteboard menu that doesn't contain phrases like "grain fed" or "gluten free". The breakfast combo is bacon, eggs, or ham, with 2 eggs, home fries, toast, and a coffee or tea. It's simple, it's cheap, and it's exactly what your hangover called for. In the summer, order inside and grab a seat on the patio. Otherwise, sit inside, listen to the ambient noise of the old tube tv, and wait for the greasy saltiness to arrive. Oh, and it's cash only. read more
