My new favorite Vietnamese restaurant. The food taste extremely fresh and flavorful. The seasoning of the dishes and sauces don't disappoint. Every bite makes you want to eat more and more. The quality of their meat is also terrific. I really felt like I was eating a higher end meal.
Vietnoms has gotten so popular these days that I don't make an attempt to go on the weekends prime time 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.
Visited around 4:30pm on Suday. It was pretty busy and restaurant itself was prettty small. Service was quick, friendly and efficient. Ordered off memu special, Viet Beef Carpacio( Bò Tâi Chanh ($18.95) and it was fantastic. Was tangy, sweet, vibrant and crunchy! Also ordered Dungenous crab & pork tapioca noodle soup( Bành canh cua) Loved rich crab broth, pork and nice presentation of huge crab. Their seafodod & porj banh can cua which is off menu special is $20.95. And this weekly special with half dungenous crab was only $5 more. Only thing was crab itself fell short of expectations in freshness. Loved tapioca noodles though. Overall had a great dinner and will return to try beef short rib pho next.
Vietnoms is a friendly neighborhood spot in the Freshco plaza at Bathurst and Steeles. The entrance looks like just a takeout counter, but there is a hallway leading to a sit-down area inside! If you come in expecting a regular pho place, you'll be pleasantly surprised! They have two menus - their regular menu and then an "off-menu" consisting of special and new items. I would recommend trying their off menu! I came here with my six-year-old for a quick dinner on a weekend. We were seated right away, but the dining area was quite packed and loud. We ordered: Grilled sausage - decent appetizer with good flavour. Skin could be crispier though. Beef-rib pho - regular pho with one long beef rib added. Good twist on a classic but one size only. Avocado fresh rolls - these are Vietnamese style spring rolls. I mainly got this for the veggie content but still not a fan of this style of roll. But if you want something refreshing this is a good bet. Vietnamese coffee - comes in a takeout cup. The service was speedy and attentive. Overall, I wouldn't rank this as my go-to pho place or anything, but good place to try if you want some different Vietnamese fare than your standard stuff. 3.5 stars.
Vietnoms is a bit different than your typical Vietnamese restaurant in the GTA. There are more street food like dishes on the menu. Beef carpaccio, Bahn Minh to name a few and they have a lot of different drinks to choose from with Pandan, Taro, Coconut flavors. There are about 6-7 tables so they fill up quick. Ventilation isn't too best so your jackets may soak up something of wok hay from the kitchen. If you are up for some less boring Vietnam dishes, this is the right place to go
We've been meaning to check out their larger location for a while since we really liked their original location when we went 5+ years ago! At first we weren't sure if there was seating, but they lead you to the back where it opens up! Not a huge space but it fit probably 40ish people? Nice and cozy! Love love love that there's an "off menu" beyond the usual Vietnamese fare. We didn't even bother looking at their "regular" stuff as we wanted options that you don't normally see. We had a hard time narrowing down what we wanted but thankfully we agreed upon an app and two mains. We had seen a lot of people ordering the beef carpaccio so that was an easy one.. (even though the baby clams sounded yums!) and the hubs decided on the seafood & pork tapioca noodles while I chose the dry Phnom Penh noodles. Holy smokes... they don't mess around. The portions are HUGE but so delicious!! Just a warning, as delicious and flavourful as the tapioca noodles are it had quite a strong fish flavour to it. My husband did not mind one bit and crushed it but I don't think I could've eaten a lot of it. I looooved my noodles though, the two noodle option was great! There was a lot of "toppings" - pork, seafood, and the soup even came with seafood balls. *chefs kiss* We definitely will be back to try other options... Tony was at the front and we had a nice chat about other spots he's been to eat. Great guy... oh and cash is 5% discount! Check it out!!
We use to live by the Vietnoms to go (the smaller counter part in North York), and never realized they had a full size restaurant further away until we saw on social media. It looked so yummy, and I already knew I loved the specials, so we had to go! Wow.. It did not disappoint at all. I had the stir fry hanoi style pho which was absolutely a show stopper. We also ordered a regular pho and their version of a bun rieu. Everything tastes so good. It's simple ingredients but long hours of slow cooking all poured into one delicious dish. Heavenly! Oh and be sure to wrap up the night with a matcha. They're really sweet because of the condensed milk, but somehow it hits the spot for dessert. I got pandan and now I make pandan matcha at home regularly. It's amazing. I wish I lived closer by cause I would definitely want to go back more often and try out their new specials.
Always pleasant visiting here for authentic Viet food. We visited on Friday around 4pm, and it was quieter than usual (normally this place is quite busy). Service was quick and staff were friendly too :) We ordered Vietnamese Beef Carpaccio and Sizzling Beef, Egg and Meatball (with baguette). Both were delicious and recommended if you're looking for something special other than pho. Cash discount available.
Good overall. We ordered the bun with pork and spring roll, the beef carpaccio and pork chop rice. The food was good and tasty. however I would say the condiments lacked taste- I used the hoisin sauce and hot sauce but it didn't have much flavour or taste.
Absolutely enjoyed my time here! Their pho was so delicious and portions were worth the prize!! I got their grilled chicken bahn mi as well which was great and the bread was fresh & soft. Their coconut smoothie was the highlight it was refreshing and just what I needed! Service was good they were attentive and welcoming. Space is limited so it might get busy during peak hours. Lots of parking since its in a plaza.
I've seen all the rave reviews for this place And I really wanted to give it a 5 star or at least a 4 star rating But I have settled on a 3 star rating, only because the 2 male employees (1 looking like the owner) were phenomenal and gave excellent service. However The food I ordered didn't live up to the hype. We ordered 1. The sizzling meat plate with baguette 2. Banh Mi Dip (beef banh mi with a soup dip) 3. Small fried spring rolls Now, maybe I came in with overly high expectations. I've seen some reviews raving about these menu items But I was very disappointed in the 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. Sorry again, just not my cup of tea, (literally)
An innovative Vietnamese restaurant, with the classic menu staples and new interesting fusion options. The front is set up as a takeout space, however, the back has around 10 tables for dining. It gets busy during peak hours, so we had to wait around 20 minutes for a table on a Friday night. We shared the Banh Mi dip and I had the Bun Rieu. The Banh Mi dip was a fun take on two classic items. The dip was very flavourful and worked really well to bring an additional aspect to the sandwich. The pork base broth of the Bun Rieu with tomato, tamarind and shrimp paste was very flavourful in a different way. I liked that it was served dry at the table, and then they pour a large kettle of soup on top of everything. A great place to try new flavours!
Amazing food and great variety. I love this place! I went here for my birthday with my partner and we feasted on a lot of dishes together. We heard some great things about this place (their social media presence online is very strong) and it definitely did not disappoint. We ordered: (1) Dipping bahn mi - this was very tasty and unique. The pho broth that it came with was just the right richness to compliment the simple flavours of the bahn mi (2) Beef carpaccio - excellent! This was a highlight for me. The tartness of the fish sauce and the flavours worked so well with the beef. And it was super fun to eat this on the shrimp cracker chips (3) Fish sauce chicken wings - these were very good but not super standoutish. I would definitely order these again though (4) The northern style pho - this was just mid tbh.. maybe I'm not used to this style of pho. I wish I ordered their house special instead (5) Viet iced coffee - a classic! Very good here I'm a fan of this place and it left a great first impression. I'm definitely looking forward to come back to try their other dishes and their other fun drinks in their café menu. Heads-up! - this place has been super popular lately and there is not that much seating inside. Try your best to come early so you could secure a table or else you'll be waiting in the long waitlist.
My friend Mary and I found ourselves in peak hour traffic in Vaughan and it was going to take us over an hour to get home. Yikes! We decided instead, to stop in at Vietnoms for a meal. Even then, it took us a while to get there, only 9km away. Traffic was brutal! The food, however, was excellent! I had their Bánh Mì Dip, while Mary had their Rare Beef and Beef Balls Pho. She also had something to drink, which she said was very good. I found the dipping broth a bit salty at first, but well balanced when had with the bánh mi. Mary's pho was missing the beef balls but that was soon corrected and she enjoyed it all. Although tiny (cozy), the dining room is very inviting, plus they have a little patio with umbrellas just outside the entrance. We chose to sit inside, avoiding the summer heat and bright sunlight. We enjoyed our meal while the traffic subsided. read more
I have been wishing to try this place for a long time. Recently I saw IG post showing their Bánh Canh Cua's generous crab portion.... so I could not wait and here I was today. Unfortunately, server told me that they just ran out of crab so no Bánh Canh Cua that I was looking for, which was understandable as this is apparently a popular item. But I could not believe what the server said next. "So, we use imitation crab instead. Is it ok for you?" Of course not. So I ordered something else. But then, I thought, do they really think that real crab is replaceable by imitation crab? Do they think it is okay? If it is ok for them, to me, it is a huge problem. We ordered: - Vietnamese Beef Carpaccio - Charred Beef Rib (Phở Sườn Bò) - Bún Riêu Beef Carpaccio seems to be another popular item here, but I was disappointed. When I order Carpaccio, I expect ultra-fresh raw beef. Here, they use fully cooked sliced beef. If it is named as "sliced beef salad," then I would have felt this dish to be decently tasty. However, because it is named "Carpaccio", I was disappointed, even felt deceived. Charred Beef Rib's presentation was dramatic, hot soup was poured in to the bowl in front of me. However, I was sad to see that all the rare beef turned fully cooked hard before my very eyes. I should have ordered rare beef on the side. Soup lacked depth, rib meat was hard to separate from the bone, and a bit dry. Holding the hot bone trying hard to bite to separate the meat was very difficult. I also felt odd to see that on the accompanying dish (for fresh veggies toppings) had lemon wedges, not lime. That's another disappointment. Bun Rieu. I stopped eating this halfway. First, I did not feel Crab flavor. There are only 2 small pork meatball with no Crab flavor, just hard pork meatball with excessive black pepper. No piece or trace of Crab. Sausage slices had wrong texture (not smooth). Bone in pork was hard and chewy. It is supposed to be fall-off-the-bone tender. So there was not much to enjoy. I am not sure why this place is so popular and highly rated. May be they are skilled in advertising in social media. Or may be I was just super unlucky :(. Probably I am not returning. read more
Tips: - This place has weekly specials. - When staff messes up your order, they completely own up to it and make sure things get fixed. - This place accepts credit and debit cards, and cash (10% discount on your order). My friend, Chris, suggested that we visit Vietnoms after a Yelp experience that made us crave something more. Luckily, it wasn't too far away. However, it was during rush hour on a Wednesday. We got here separately. This eatery is in a plaza that has a FreshCo anchoring it. The plaza has plenty of parking. I pulled into a spot and met up with Chris. This place has limited spots for dining inside. We had no problem grabbing a table. There is bar seating at the front. This place has a patio. However, it was too hot to sit outside, even with a large patio umbrella at each table. We were greeted and seated promptly. We got menus. This place has its regular menu and off-menu specials. Wow! I remember Crosstown BBQ had a collaboration with Vietnoms. Sadly, I missed it. Chris got these items: - Water - Banh mi dip My order consisted of these items: - Cold tea - Matcha lemonade - Rare beef and beef ball pho (small) I asked how large the large bowl of pho was. He pointed at a man's bowl. It was large, so I went small. The cold tea was refreshing. It came in a teapot. I loved it so much that I poured the remaining tea in my empty cup that once had my matcha lemonade. The drinks here are solid. I loved my matcha lemonade. There was no matcha powder grit in my drink. It was perfectly blended. The lemonade part had lemon preserve, which made it super yummy. I'd get this drink again in a heartbeat. My pho order was messed up. I spent a while trying to find beef balls. I realized that I had rare beef and beef brisket. It was also a large. Chris was the first to point out to our server that I didn't have any beef balls. I fished out the two types of proteins that were in my pho. He was apologetic and wanted to make things right. I frankly wasn't offended by this mistake. The proteins were yummy. The pho was excellent. Although it was a large, I was able to down it. The broth was delicious. Our server came over with a bowl of six beef balls and a lot of green onions in the broth. He apologized again. It was great that this place wanted to make everything right. For someone who wanted a small pho, I ended up with a massive meal. Thank goodness I didn't order an appetizer! I am a beef ball person. The beef balls hit the spot. The extra green onions made me so happy. I loved them. Chris enjoyed his banh mi dip. At first, he felt that the dip part was too salty. However, when we dipped his banh mi halves into it, the broth was fine. I need to get what he got next time. It looked incredible, especially the brisket in the baguette. I used the washroom before I left. It was compact and clean. No issues. We paid at the front counter. I paid with a credit card for both of us, as Chris had cash. I now have a running tab to pay him back. This place was awesome and a great suggestion. I suspect that dining here on a weekend would be difficult because it's such a small indoor dining area with limited seating. We came on a weeknight at nearly 6 pm and it was perfect. I'd return to get more good eats. It's an awesome addition to this plaza. (342) read more

TLDR: Vietnamese restaurant with two locations (one is primarily takeout only). Only seats roughly 26 people in the dining room which is likely why they don't take reservations but the time for turning over tables seems relatively short on weeknights. Their menu has a lot to offer including drinks you can customize with different cold foams paired with their drinks. -[VIETNAMESE COFFEE W/PANDAN COLD FOAM] $7 *Love that their coffee isn't too sweet even with the pandan cold foam topping it *Interested to return to try this drink but with their ube cold foam next time -[DEEP FRIED CHICKEN WINGS - 8pcs] $14 *Your choice of sauce: tamarind, fish sauce, Vietnoms spicy - we got taramind which was a sour flavor with a slight hint of sweetness *I'm not the biggest fan of sour as a profile but the one I had was good. I can see how other people would like this flavor as it is light and refreshing -[VIETNAMESE BEEF CARPACCIO] $18 *No idea what the slaw is made out of but it is a 10/10 of a salad if it can be ordered on its own tbh - tasted like julienned purple cabbage/carrots/onions, red chillis, peanuts, marinade that was slightly sweet/sour *The beef was extremely tender and flavorful - went really well with the shrimp chips it was served alongside -[CRAB & PORK TAPIOCA NOODLE SOUP] $20 *The noodles were as thick as udon but had a bouncier texture to them that I loved *The protein included seemed to be imitation crab meat, Vietnamese meatballs, Vietnamese ham, pork bones and maybe more *This is definitely my favorite noodle soup dish because the soup was very comforting and was a decent size too -[SIZZLING BEEF, EGG, AND MEATBALL W/BAGUETTE] $17 *I have been CRAVING this dish for so long now because a different restaurant near me got rid of it from their menu recently so when I saw it here, I knew I HAD to get it *I swear there's also what tasted/looked like pâté on the plate too although it isn't mentioned (super tasty) *The components of this dish all went so well together :D The tomato sauce everything was sizzling in was creamy and the baguette allowed me to scoop everything into my mouth TIP: 5% discount if you pay with cash but they do take credit/debit too! * Boss/staff are super nice and will do everything within their power to have you seated comfortably at a table ASAP but do remember that they have a very small section for seating (counted 26 seats in the dining section) read more

Vietnoms is a cozy neighbourhood spot that has a takeout counter when you first walk in with a dining area through a hallway. I've been here a few times and the service is consistently really great. The staff is kind, and attentive. Some standout item are their beef carpaccio, sizzling beef with egg and meatball in a tomato sauce and phở. read more
Decided to give this spot a try after some of the social media hype and I definitely see where it stems from. Their storefront is very unassuming, as it appears to be a small takeout spot from the front, but there is actually an entire dine in section at the back (though a little tight for space between the tables). I got the Bun Rieu from their off menu selection which you can find on their website... it tasted great and hit the spot. My only gripe is that I wish they used real crab instead of imitation crab meat, which took away from the dishes for us. I also REALLY liked the complimentary tea they provided... very unique from anything I've ever had, with the hint of pandan flavour infused in it. Service was speedy and efficient. Overall I'd return to try more of their items! read more
I came here on a Saturday around noon and had to wait around 20 minutes for a table. The restaurant is small so there aren't a lot of tables. This isn't very suitable for groups more than 5+. We ordered a few dishes to share. Everything was good. We had their pho noodle soup, bun rieu, vermicelli bowl and grilled rice dish. The pho was my favourite. The broth was flavourful and hit the spot. My least favourite was the grilled meats with rice. The meat pieces were small, and they use jasmine rice instead of broken rice (com tam). The server forgot to punch in one of our dish and they didn't realize until the end of our meal (when we asked). We sat around and waited because we were still hungry and wanted to try the bun rieu. The mains were $17-20 each, and their specialty lattes were $7.50 each. Overall, food is good and portions are average. I wouldn't mind coming back here again if I am in the area. read more

Walking in, it almost feels like a take out restaurant because you see the cashier up front. You walk farther in through a long hallway to reach the main dining area. Service was expected of an asian place, ie you have to ask for a refill on the pot of tea. Vietnoms special rice dish - Unfortunately not noms for me. The proteins, beef and chicken, were lacking other were underwhelmingly thin. The chicken was marinated, but I would have preferred the typical lemongrass marinade more. There was a massive amount of rice which made the proteins feel even smaller. The fish sauce was also not to my preference, I wished it had more flavours including a bit of spice and more sweetness. Would not recommend. Deep fried chicken wings - We got the Vietnoms spicy wings which kinda felt like an all stars medium spicy wing. Wings also felt a bit small. Would not recommend. Matcha lemonade - This was tasty! The lemonade is a bit salted. Mixing the matcha and lemonade was a wonderful blend of green tea and salted lemonade that I didn't know was so good. Would get again! So in the shops defense, the server recommended us to try the 'off menu items' and I opted to get the regular menu items with the Vietnom name on them. Might have to come back and try their off menu items. read more
came here bc the banhmi dip was featured in youtube foodie. i thought it was unique and looks real good. place is busy! people came non-stop. we ordered off menu special: 1. carpachio- tasty. but strong flavor (understandable). paired well with the veggies and fried shallot -even tho the fried shallot is a bit hard...instead of crispy. but the true 'savior' is the chips/crackers. it's plain. so it blends in well with the strong carpachio. and you can ask for more chips too! 2. banhmi dip- nothing special. nice to dip the banhmi into the pho broth, and the bread soaks up all those juices. but the broth and the meat on the banhmi has same flavor profile. toooo similar. nth special. regular / traditional banhmi tastes better. 3.char rib beef pho huge portion. smoky and tender ribs. star anise in the broth is too overpowering. 4. vietnoms spicy wings (regular menu) tender. flavorful. perfect 'spiciness'. best wings i ever eat in vietnamese restaurant. some sort of bbq sauce (twisted to asian palate? lol). definitely prefer this type of sauce compared to western ones. Not a place we will go back or have a craving for. But definitely worth a try for sth unique. read more
Had a serious craving for a Banh Mi sandwich and finally gave Vietnoms Thornhill a try. It's been sitting on my list for a while and I usually go to the Sheppard location, but this was my first time at the Thornhill spot. To tame the hunger, I went all in and ordered three Banh Mi sandwiches, grilled chicken, grilled pork, and grilled beef, all with extra pâté and fromage. Service was super friendly, even though I only stayed in the takeout area. Staff were welcoming and attentive in a way that's honestly not too common at a lot of Vietnamese spots. I had to run a quick errand while the food was being prepped and came back around 15-20 minutes later. When I picked up the order, I really appreciated the extra care the clerk took in checking each sandwich and labeling everything properly. It made the whole experience feel a bit more thoughtful. Taste-wise, everything hit the spot. Meats were cooked well with solid flavor and nice texture. The bread was on the softer side compared to the usual super-crispy Vietnamese baguettes, which I didn't mind at all. It made the sandwich easier to eat and gave it more of a comfort food vibe. Pricing is fair, even generous, especially considering the quality. That said, I do wish there was a bit more meat packed in, just enough to make it feel more balanced. I'd honestly be happy to pay a buck or two more for a bit of extra protein. Also, the pâté and fromage add-on was there, but so subtle that it barely stood out. It didn't take away from the sandwich, but it was hard to notice, especially when you're paying extra for it. This review is just based on the takeout sandwich run, but I'll definitely be back to try other dishes. I've heard great things about their overall menu and how it delivers real value. Looking forward to checking it out properly next time. read more

Yeah I'm doing it. Another one in my coveted 5-star category. Vietnoms is a small Vietnamese restaurant at a plaza on Steeles near Bathurst. Pretty decent sized parking lot, but the restaurant is very busy. Don't be surprised if you need to wait for a table. At the time of when I ate there with my parents, there were two phos on special: a drunken beef pho and a curry beef brisket pho. Both seemed very interesting so we figured we'd give it a try. The broth was extremely flavourful, which I like. The beef brisket was melt in your mouth delicious, and the noodles are the texture that I prefer (slightly wider than your typical narrow pho width). Service was excellent here. 5% discount if you pay by cash. I don't give 5 star reviews that often, so consider this an extremely positive review for this place. read more

Came for lunch a little after 1 on a Saturday but there were no tables available as it was a small space so we would have to wait a bit or site at the bar. We decided to wait and we didn't have to wait too long. We ordered the platter and it was 32 as well as the beef carpaccio. The beef carpaccio was good. The platter was ok, taste was good but the price charged was pricey for the size of the platter that was given and was not that unique overall. We should have tried some of the other menu items that were more unique. read more

May 17, 2025 - I've been to Vietnoms several times and I would keep coming back. The food is amazing and the portions are enormous. I usually get the Vietnoms Special Pho and the fresh rolls. Highly recommend. read more

The pho was great. The shredded chicken was perfectly cooked. I love a lot of broth but this wasn't as savoury as other places. There specialty menu is a must try. Service was great even when their busy. It's a small spot but good. Wish they had more seating room though. read more

Loooooooove this place! All the items i've had here are very solid. My faves are definitely the beef salad and the crab "udon" noodles. Portion sizes are great and everything is super fresh. Happy to see they've expanded beyond their smaller, takeout-focused location on Sheppard. The staff here are always extremely friendly. Too bad the seating is a bit limited here but definitely recommend checking them out. read more
This is a great addition to the plaza. From the outside, it looks like a takeout spot, but the seating is actually at the back. I like that they have menu items that you may not find at other Vietnamese restaurants, they're more unique. Service is fantastic. We were greeted soon after we walked in and every interaction with the server was so polite and friendly. The food is fantastic and portions are decent. I especially enjoyed the fish in the claypot with rice. read more

Hole-in-the-wall pho and Viet snacks Food: We tried the beef carpaccio (didn't expect this at a Viet restaurant), charred beef rib pho, and the pork sausage, grilled pork and spring roll with vermicelli. The first two items were "off menu" specials, and were definitely not what you would expect at a typical Vietnamese restaurant. The beef carpaccio had a good balance of sour, sweet, and savoury flavours and most of the beef was half-cooked from the citrus, with the herbs and shrimp chips that played well with the tender thin slices of beef. The beef rib pho presentation was also very nice, as they poured the hot broth from a tea pot, and it cooked the thin slices of beef. The broth was clear and was on the milder side. The vermicelli dish was made with fresh ingredients but tasted a little too light on flavour for us, missing the mark. Definitely go for the specials/off-menu items, they were superior. Service: The restaurant was didn't have too many tables at the back, and although the person serving us was new, they were very welcoming and friendly. The food came pretty quickly but they forgot to give us tea or water at the beginning (but no big deal, we just requested it). Atmosphere: I called this a hole-in-the-wall restaurant as it's quite a small storefront and the dining area is very cozy, with just a handful of tables and counter seats. It seems like the restaurant is more suited for take-out, but we came during the off-peak lunch hour so seating was available. read more

I dined here a couple of times. Food: I had the grilled chicken banh mi once for takeout, the toppings inside included shredded cabbage which I understand toppings can vary widely in the world of banh mi. I just personally prefer pickled veggies so this specific one will not be something I will get in the future. I got to try the Shaking Beef and Fermented Fish Noodle Soup on separate occasions. I enjoyed both dishes very much! The shaking beef had good char, the beef was not too chewy and was easy to eat. Comes with a sunny side-up egg and an assortment of veggies. The fermented fish noodle soup was not too fishy in my opinion. Contains eggplant, squid, shrimp, pork, and chopped lemongrass. I find it fragrant and perfect for a cold winter day. My friends have had the Crab & Pork Tapioca Noodle Soup and they enjoyed the chewiness of the tapioca noodles and soup taste. Service/atmosphere: The staff were friendly and attentive. There is limited seating, good for groups of 2 or 4 or 6 people. read more

Another excellent Pho place in the GTA. I had the charred beef rib pho and it was great. So glad there are now so many places that offer this dish around here. The staff were very attentive, courteous and polite. They offer a 5% cash discount. read more
First time trying Vietnoms. Had the Vietnoms Special Pho. For some reason I wasn't impressed by it, for me it tasted very plain so I added some sriracha and chili oil to make it more flavourful to my liking. They give you the bean sprouts and lemon, but not the greens (colantro or thai basil) - I like tearing up the leaves because it adds flavour to your soup. The broth was alright, light and good for cold days. Another soup we ordered was the Crab & Pork Tapioca Noodle Soup. This one hit the spot! Thick soup with udon noodles with some crab legs and pork. We enjoyed this one better, it was very comforting and tasty. Then we also got a rice dish, two meat meal with grilled pork and chicken + egg quiche. Again in my opinion nothing special, it was decent but compared to other vietnamese places their version of two meat grilled combo is better in quality than this one. And as soon as we were seated, we were asked if we want tea or plain water and of course we got hot tea to warm up. This one tasted super good and had a familiar taste, but I couldn't place what it was exactly, so I asked one of the staff and he said they use pandan leaves (how could I missed that)! A beloved southeast asian ingredient to many dishes (back home I use it to make my rice more fragrant ). So yes, try the tea, you'll enjoy it for sure. Nice staff, friendly and attentive. Quick service. Small place basic interior, few tables and chairs so I'm sure its gets filled quickly when its peak lunch or dinner hours. It is situated in a plaza so parking is shared and free. read more

Was pleasantly surprised from what this little gem had to offer. Been hearing great reviews about this place and had to give it a try. Ordered the beef carpaccio with a side order of rice. Amazing and flavourful topped with a light salad on top. Made to share, or as an entree, I had to take some home because it was so much. Loved the flavour of the sauce mix with the meat. Great to eat with the shrimp crackers that come along with the meal as well. I recommend! Taro(Ube) latte ... yum!!!! Honestly thoroughly enjoyed this iced latte. Was recommended by our server to try it out. Not too sweet, but just the right amount of sweetness and caffeine kick that you need at your lunch hour, and complete a sweet compliment to your meal! Overall, great quality, service. Amazing selection. I'm am definitely coming back to this small gem again. Would highly recommend! read more
They have a bunch of street food here in addition to your typical bun/pho/com which is interesting to see! I loved all the fresh herbs and veggies on top of the beef carpaccio which was super flavourful. My friend really liked the sizzling plate which was more heavy and they give you warm banh mi to dip in the sauce. Also found it adorable the pho broth came in a teapot! We came on a Saturday night around 6 pm and shortly after, the small dining room filled up quickly. There was a line when we left. The staff here are soooo warm and nice. Can't wait to try the iced coffee next time! read more
Tried a few dishes. In terms of the taste, I'd give it 3 to 4 stars. The pho broth tasted very flavourful, and you could taste the spices such as cloves. The vermicelli with sausage, spring roll, and grilled pork tasted good too. The grilled chicken bahn mi, I enjoyed the grilled chicken as it was tender and had a good grilled flavour, and the bun was nice and crispy yet soft. But I would have liked more pickled flavour to the carrots, and more spice level. The reason I am giving 2 stars is because in the vermicelli, I found (1) a long hair, and (2) piece of metal. The hair I found within seconds of starting to eat, but didn't mention it because I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt (in case it was my hair by any chance). So I took the hair out and kept eating. But we had some leftovers and the next day went to eat it and I found a piece of metal 1 inch long. I have concerns about the food safety aspect, especially since we brought my young child here to eat with us and if he had eaten the metal without spotting it, it would have been dangerous. I am glad I found it before anyone was injured. read more
