Pho Simcoe 2 in Collingwood

Everything Ive tried at this restaurant has been good. I had guests in town, so I brought them here and they also enjoyed it. I think its my favorite restaurant in Collingwood so far. My co-workers recommended it to me and they werent wrong.

Spoiled in Toronto with some of the best food anywhere. But the Pho was absolutely fantastic Perhaps the best I ve had Bravo Pho in Collingwood. I ll be back Food : 5/5 |

Pad Thai and soups are great

We arrived in Wasaga tonight and their first location had an issue with the kitchen and couldnt seat us. We called Pho Simcoe 2, and even though it was very close to closing they told us to drive over and accommodated us with some hot crispy spring rolls and two delicious bowls of rare beef and chicken pho. The taste was authentic and it felt like we were still in the city. Very nice atmosphere and relaxing Jazz music as well. Will be back!

Very good food, big portions & very reasonable prices. Nice atmosphere and friendly wait staff. Bathroom was not that clean would be my only complaint, but would still happily recommend.

Food was fabulous. Portions were generous. Quick and courteous.

The most awful Asian food I ve ever had

So delicious !! Server was so nice and kindly! I did order the crispy ginger beef and it was more than I expected!

Too much

The food is very delicious, the service is attentive

Travelling from Toronto and visited this place Pho place. House special was underwhelming, watered down broth having to add seasonings to the bowl to indulge it. The service is horrible as well. Was not have good experience at all. Very disappointing. Will not coming back .Not recommended.

Everything was delicious

Nice clean and cozy place, quiet jazz music, and delicious food.

A ridiculous place that variably changes their closing times despite posting a closing time of 9 pm. Weve come three times and have been refused dine in service every time. We came at 830 and was told kitchen is closed. Ok reasonable since the place closes at 9. Came again at 8:05 and told last call is at 8. Now we came at 7:40 and told kitchen closed for dine in but they can do take out? Despite calling ahead and being told that if we come by 8 oclock we will be served dine in? Thats ludicrous. Why can they do take out but kitchen is closed for dine in....it makes no sense. And theres people dining in every time weve come including someone being seated right after we were told theyre not serving anymore. Why post a closing time of 9 pm?

Shrinkflation!!! I ordered two dishes for take out. They used to fill the containers, now only two thirds full. Will not be returning.

I went there last night at about 6pm. The service was very slow, I felt they catered to the take out customers first. I enjoyed the food when it arrived, cant complain about that. It was tasty. Had I visited the washroom before ordering I would never have eaten there. It was discusting. It wasnt just untidy, but downright dirty. The sink, toilet bowl seat and floor looked like they hadnt been cleaned in days.

Collingwoods best kept secret!! Fabulous food !! Great presentation as well!! I will be back again and again!! !!

Very good place with outstanding food. I had the fresh shrimp rolls and pad thai. The rolls were good, but the pad thai was delicious and definitely worth the price. Service was goos, except food came out when ready, so I had my rolls, before the other person I was with got his soup, which was the same time he got his meal. So his meal got cold while he ate his soup. It was fast and polite service. Atmosphere was clean and ok.

Takeout: Pho rare beef and fried spring rolls positives: Good broth and generous on bean sprouts, basil, lime and sauces. All packaged separately and carefully. Negative: the beef was not rare and much of it was too tough to eat which is a huge negative if you enjoy this type of Pho. Spring rolls were okay, not greasy and tasty.

Pho is comparable to GTA pho.

Good Vietnamese restaurant in Collingwood. They have a solid Vietnamese coffee. Some of their dishes were a bit different from traditional dishes but still enjoyable. The fried rice was tasty. Parking: Around 60 spots outside serving the whole plaza

Stayed at Blue Mountain and visited this restaurant twice. Hope seeing more smiling face from the waiter next time!

Food is ok , but very poor service!

Food delivered slow, and the server was unkind.

It was a decent place for a quick lunch, The food was average, the service was good and nice! The interior decorations were amazing!

Service is terrible. The first time we came to this restaurant,we were ignored and neglected for no reason. While waiting for entry,the waiter shouted very rude that these seats had been booked without your share. That guy is not worthy to be a waiter. We will never come again !!!

Great food and service. Will highly recommend.

I do not normally leave reviews but my family thoroughly enjoyed this meal. The spring rolls with the peanut sauce are excellent. The PHO special is enormous and delicious. We will be back next time we are passing through town.

What a gem Ordered chicken pad Thai with crispy ginger chicken.The food was outstanding and the portions were big.This is my go to place for Thai now.You shouldn t be disappointed.I certainly wasn t.

Don t order for pickup it seems they serve in store first. 45 minutes for one item

The taste of pho is amazing

Pho, is a personal fav and the Pho Simcoe, broth is by far, the best in the region. The bone broth is rich in flavour but never greasy or heavy. It has a perfect Five Spice accent thats not overwhelming. Sprouts and cinnamon basel are served on the side. Sauces are on the table to dip the lean pieces of lean rare beef. Be prepared, the portion is large. New to Collingwood, this place is a welcome and much needed addition. Vegetarian options: Hot & Sour, my first experience with vegetable Hot&Sour

I had a really bad experience

Pho Simcoe 2 served us an incredible and comforting meal tonight. Great choice for a date! Fresh spring rolls are a must . And the pho portions ,oh my! The broth was definitely flavourful. I really enjoyed my iced coffee. This us a great place to eat something fresh or comforting.

Delicious with good portion. Better than many of the pho I had in downtown Toronto.

The reviews are deceiving loool it was not an enjoyable meal :(

Best pad thai ever. I come here or order from here all the time and it is always 10/10. Amazing portion size, quality of food, and prices.

Presentation, taste of food, and size of portions was excellent. Highly recommended.

#206 is my go-to!! The short ribs are perfectly cooked, totally delicious!

Very good cuisine. Fresh and tasty food. Impeccable service.

Great atmosphere, and always delicious food when I go here. Ive been several times over the last few months, and Im hooked on their fresh shrimp rolls. Its definitely a must try if youre in Collingwood and looking for a filling meal at a reasonable price.

First time here it was great, service food awesome well be back

There are many dishes here that are outstanding!

Huge pho portions and the mango salad was really nice.

Best Vietnamese restaurant in town.

Absolutely incredible. This is my wifes favourite spot, even out of any Thai/Viet spots in the GTA weve been to. Pad Thai, Pho and Crispy Ginger Chicken are the best weve ever had. The Thai BBQ chicken skewers are so mindblowingly insane. Whenever we take friends, they freak out at how good they are. Never been disappointed yet, and quality is consistently perfect every time weve been.

loved the food here. Tom Yum Soup did not disappoint. The Pad Thai was so delicious. Service was great.

Pho Simcoe 2 offers very flavorful dishes at reasonable prices. They can also manage gluten free with competence which is amazing! The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming.

This place is great. Big portions, good deco and very delicious.

Very underwhelming food. The noodles used in pho is not the traditional thin rice noodles. The medium rare beef was overcooked and hard to chew. The iced coffee was now brewed fresh and tasted like pure sugar. Each bowl of pho was $18. And to top it all off, the server was wearing slides

Was really pleased with the pho special. I ordered the food to go and it was made so quickly. Very delicious, especially when coming from Toronto where you get authentic cuisine

As my father would say Effing Good! This place is my new go to after skiing all day. It s nice and cozy with an affordable menu to chose from. The soups were incredible and the rice was a perfect amount of spice. I ve never really liked spring roles but they have made me question my taste buds. WILL BE RETURNING!!

My husband and Idecided to stop in for dinner. We really enjoyed the fresh spring rolls (chicken and shrimp) and the pad thai was delightful! Thank you for a great evening!

It was a full house evening and our food still came very quickly. This is a perfect place to go after a full day on the hills at Blue Mountain as the portion is big enough to fill you up. The taste of the food was great too.

This is the best pho of three pho restaurants I ve been. Environment is a real restaurant mood. Material is fresh and authentic. Highly recommended. I ve been here ten years ago. This must be a be new owner recently. Be careful the size is jumbo, don t order too much.

Out of the 8 dishes we shared, 7 were 10/10. The shrimp pad Thai was average. Crispy Cantonese Chow Mein was outstanding.

This Vietnamese restaurant should not have been open for a long time. Its decoration is very comfortable, neat and clean. The decorations also add to the atmosphere. The price is reasonable and the ingredients are very fresh, especially the amount of bean sprouts. The noodles in the Vietnamese noodles are very hard and the meat is a bit too thin. The cut is thick (too solid), the soup is not thick and salty enough, but the service is not outstanding. The spring rolls are still delicious. The chef also pays attention to the presentation.

Every foreign restaurant is a civilian/folk diplomatic window, and this brand is one of the brights for Vietnam. Every detail of dining experience speaks subtly to the owner/operator s taste: the dish (consistent in both locations), the flavour (slightly better in Pho 1 ), and the interior design (I enjoyed very much in Pho 2). Rich display of Vietnam ethnic elements well-adapted to Canadian/modern appreciation, find on the wall, little inadvertent corners, and also beside your fingertip on the plate. Ultimately, you will be able to tell its authenticity by hearing the real Vietnamese lovely young staffs from the front and back of house Their quality dropped immediately at my 2nd visit beef was sour and soup has no other flavour but the sour beef. Felt like a thinner broth and less fresh beef

Great spot! Amazing food, good vegetarian options, not too crowded, lots of seating.

Ordered the special pho and it was pretty decent just the noodle is a lot thicker than the noodle I had at most of other pho stores, I do like the soup as it was good. Note that they only have one size and its like a large at a lot of other places. Restaurant atmosphere is nice but there is only one server unfortunately, and he was quite busy and cant attend to everyones need in time. Overall a good experience.

I am glad Pho Simcoe is available in Collingwood . I had eaten many times before , almost everyday. It s rlly amazing .

Excellent!

Great new place! The pho was delicious and the portions are big. They gave us complimentary imperial rolls which were really good, the service was friendly and fast. Highly recommend!

Treated myself to a late lunch and boy did this place NOT disappoint. I ordered 201 BBQ Chicken Vermicelli & Spring Roll, next thing I know they brought me Mango Salad, on the house, as a thank you for being their for their grand opening, which was today (04/17). Holy Hannah Batman, the salad is Ahh-mazing! Fresh, vibrant, and the flavors - WOW! And as for 201 - KaPow! The flavors & freshness 10/10. This is now one of my go-to places. Highly recommend it, clean, friendly and so welcoming. Thank you for a great 1st (of many) meals.

Just had a really good dinner tonight and it was the Grand Opening! Great service and food!

I had the pleasure to be at the grand opening at Pho Simcoe 2. It was a very pleasant experience. Amazing atmosphere and welcoming service. The food at Pho Simcoe 2 was absolutely delicious I have not had good pho like this since I lived in Toronto. I honestly wish I could give 10 Stars

The food was good, tasty, and fast service, with a lovely ambiance. I would definitely come back.

Amazing food and huge portions

Fantastic experience! I brought my 3yr old daughter and she enjoyed it also. Huge portions, excellent food, we will absolutely be back. Thank you

The staff are so friendly, and the food taste great. They should open a phone number 3!!

Good Pho in the town, yumi

Have been to Pho Simcoe in Wasaga Beach several times and we just tried some new dishes at new location in Collingwood shout out to the chefs really delicious food and friendly service. Can t wait to return and try out more options!

Fast, fresh, delicious, and great quality take-out. Will definitely be ordering again.

Wow! Amazing food, amazing service, and it looks absolutely stunning inside. Fairly priced for the portion sizes (which are huge!) So if your hungry and love good food, your going to the right place. The staff are very friendly and the owner is lovely aswell!

I have nothing but amazing experiences at this restaurant. The service is impeccable, and the food is just as great. I want to thank the staff and owners for everything. I d highly recommend!

Delicious food and kind staff!

Food

The restaurant has a nice vibe and the food is fresh and delicious. Best Asian food we have had in Collingwood!

The food is so delicious because its delicious and the service is so attentive

Fabulous food and service

My partner and I came tonight. We were absolutely blown away by the quality of the food. Best pho and best Vietnamese/Thai food in Collingwood hands down. We ve been to other places, and this place surpasses them all. Exploding with flavor! The mango coconut sticky rice dessert was so delightful, now my favorite dessert of all time. Also wonderful service. Wonderful experience. Our new place to go!

My wife and I randomly picked up a restaurant in walking distance during the lunch time, I picked #101 and my wife chose #102, both are tasty and worth the price.

Great experience! Amazing food and service. Staff are extremely helpful and make great recommendations

good experience The cuisine is excellent, and the entire crew is welcoming.

Delicious food and great atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back!

I have a wonderful dinner here. The service staff is very nice

Excellent place. We just had the take out. Really nice food, not overly expensive. Party of 4 and all were very happy. I don t give 5 stars unless a place is perfect. For a take out on a Sunday night, this came very close.

The pho is really good with the right amount of fat! Impressed how hot the food was and good amount of protein and not too much noodles; you dont want to dilute the aromatic broth. We also really enjoyed the crispy ginger beef and green curry chicken. Excellent Vietnamese coffee, too.

Nice and clean food and dining hall most of all delicious!

Excellent food! Delicious, fresh, great portion sizes. Worth every penny! Vegetarian options: Great meat and veggie options. Recommended dishes Tomyum Soup

This little cute and chic restaurant is absolutely the place to go for asian food!!! The food is delicious!! Our fried rice plates were delicious! The fresh rolls were incredible! For the service it was impeccable! My first rice was too spicy for me and the man who served us, offered me to replace it for a sweet one and suggested me the pineapple rice and i accepted! Wow! This pineapple fried rice is Extra DELICIOUS! It was soooo kind of him to have done that for me! The place is gorgeous and as a chic look! The prices are affordable too! Wow! I adore the place and i will return for sure at 10000%!! You want to eat EXTRAORDINARY FOOD? Go There NOW!! Dietary restrictions: If you got allergies dont be scared to share it with them! They will make the plate that will be for you! Parking: right infront!

A lot of great surprise here!! Never imagine that my family can having such great Viet lunch in Collingwood. Spring roll - fresh, thin and crispy roll, strongly recommend. Shrimps Pad Thai (no spicy) - Good Shrimp Roll - Good Tomyum noodle - Great taste. Broth is nice: it comes balance of sweet, sour and spicy. Special Pho - Good portion, traditional taste. You won t disappointed. Owner is very nice and helpful. He gave good recommendations. Environment is clean and comfortable. Price is reasonable. I like very much the chef use different sauce to decorate each dish on plate.

Our go to place always for our Pho cravings. The place is very welcoming and friendly. We are always greeted with vibrant smile of the owner.

Better than all the same kind restaurants in Toronto

I recommend the pho at this place. Very good! Will come back again.

Best Pho in Collingwood

Hearty meal and generous portion, fast service, very clean place

We had take out and everything was so delicious, so glad you opened a location in Collingwood too!

Mediocre. Ordered the veggie peanut satay pho, I was not expecting such a thin flavorless broth. Veggie spring rolls were decent, again pretty bland. Large portions. $27 for pho and two spring rolls. Would I eat here again? Yes. Would it be my first choice ? No. Food : 3/5

Nice place with some special dish.

Their foods are at par, in my opinion. The original pho has good flavor, but the satay pho seems lacking of flavor, does bring out the satay or spiciness. There are some weird vegetables in the satay pho such as broccoli and green pepper, which I have not seen at other Vietnamese restaurants. The staff are super helpful, and the ambiance is top not.

Even though it was a reservation, we had difficulty getting served. Took awhile to even get the menus or water or tea. But when they came, it was fine. Didnt mind that we had to write in our order (this is typical) but it seemed very awkward. The restaurant was completely full. I noticed that other tables were getting ice in their glasses but we did not (this is minor). Our food came out slowly (not a big deal) but would have a appreciated if they all came out more or less at the same time (our nieces almost finished their meal before we even got our order). Portion size seemed large though, however the pho soup was a little weaker than Im used to. When I got my bun (vermicelli with beef) I got 2 spring rolls (!). But again, something seemed missing; the beef was fine but Im used to having shredded carrots & cucumbers and a little mint/ more green onions... our party didnt even receive bean sprouts (usually added in the pho). Was very disappointed that we needed to ask for more water and tea; and the extra bowls we had asked for. Maybe it was just an off day.

I usually avoid places that offer multiple types of cuisine (Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese) since the lack of specialization tends to lead to mediocre food; however, Pho Simcoe 2 is an exception. I try a new dish each time I go to the restaurant and I have thoroughly enjoyed every single one. The only reason I did not give 5 star is because they charge $5 for hot tea (which is usually included at asian restaurants). Another small thing, not really an issue but odd is that they decorate the plates of most of their dishes with Hoisin and ketchup.

A great place to get Asian food in Collingwood. It s a great addition to the town and has a variety of Asian cuisine options from Thai, veit and Chinese. The pho was delicious and the fresh rolls are a must try. I even order more to take home.

House special was underwhelming, watered down broth having to add seasonings to the bowl to enjoy. Great serving size nevertheless, great for sharing between 2 people. Keep in mind the restaurant has one size for bowls priced decently high in the teens so price matches serving.

It s a gem. Extremely polite service. Friendly. Fast. Quiet clean place with lots of plant decorations bright lighting and background music. Food is presented well. Definitely of the top quality. We will be coming back tomorrow to try another offering from the menu.

pho simcoe2 the best at Collingwood

Discovered Vietnamese coffee which is the best I have tasted anywhere. The food was bang on. Generous portions.

great food and service. get the peanut sauce & thai dumplings whooooaa my goodness were they good

asked for more sauce on Chicken Pad Thai second time ordered there and it was perfect, so yummy next time Im trying the Crispy Ginger Beef Food

What a surprise to find such a germ in Collingwood. The restaurant is full of greenery. With so many plants, you can feel the tranquility. The staff very friendly. The food looked very presentable and tasted amazing. Its the first Vietnamese restaurant where I can feel the chefs actually put their soul into each plate.

tasty food, definitely would recommend. beware the portions are massive! can share each dish between 2 people. would give it 5 star but giving it 4 instead because i asked for no egg in the fried rice but it still came with it.

Overall good experience...good taste and quantity...was leaving the town and wanted to have pho and found this..Must try

After a coworker shared her positive review of the restaurant I decided to try it myself..so ordered take out .Something I never do.The mango salad was just delightful..had all the right flavours. A good portion and I enjoyed it. Same goes for the vegetarian spring rolls.Fresh and crispy. I wish I had stopped at that. The entree really failed..sadly the vermicelli was soggy and the fried tofu looked as though it was overcooked and left to dry out. The veggies that came with it consisted of shredded iceberg lettuce. Not at all what I anticipated. This entree needs improvement. There was no seasoning in the noodles whatsoever. I wont order that again and certainly not take out since you cant even see what you are getting. (And there were too many disposable containers as well.) WS.

The pho caught me by surprise because it was so authentic and delicious! It had fresh noodles and the broth was very flavourful. Highly recommend when in the area.

All of the menu items we ve tried have been delicious! I love it here. The service is amazing and the atmosphere is so cozy. Highly recommended.

Great food, good service. Vermicelli noodle bowls are delicious, also the mango salad and spring rolls.

Ordered Vermicelli order 206. Pork was tasty, and the spring rolls were huge!!! Almost a whole meal on its own and very crispy and yummy. Definitely coming back.

Pleasantly surprised. Lovely interior with quiet jazz music playing. Enjoyed my vermicelli and beer. Friendly, fast service. Everyone in here appeared to enjoy their food. Will return.

Best underrated place to eat in Collinwood. Clean, nicely decorated, great atmosphere, and most importantly, excellent Thai food. Very generous portions.

Delicious food, prompt courteous service; fresh and delicious and a reasonable price point. Definitely going back for more! Dietary restrictions: Great place for lots of non-dairy options.

The quality of the food was unusually good and the service was excellent. Very nice atmosphere. Loved the art pieces and smooth calming music. We will likely become regular customers.

Food is good but service is really slow They need more staff Food

We had takeout. The staff was helpful on the phone, efficient and the order was ready on time. I was impressed with the low plastic content of the takeout meal. It was very nice to see I would guess 60% completely biodegradable, packaging, and utensils.. Food was very good!
