Little Coxwell Restaurant in East York

Not much to look at but great food at reasonable prices.

Their Rare Beef Rice Noodle Pho is delicious!

Little Coxwell is one of our regular restaurants nearby, and it hits the spot if youre craving Pho. Its also VERY reasonably priced. Dine in can be rough at times as the restaurant is small, and the staff is often very busy with takeout orders, but nothing beats eating fresh pho directly from the restaurant.

Number one place to eat in Toronto! Amazingly delicious food! Food

I had Green Curry Veg/Tofu. It was delicious, just like Thailand. Portions are large, prices are great. Will come here again for sure.

One of my wife and I s absolute favourite local spots! The portions are generous and the food is to die for!

One of the best green curry chicken dishes I ve ever tasted.

We love this place but were really disappointed today when we received our order and the new, much smaller container of rice. Of all things to cut back on. Rice is a relatively affordable ingredient so reducing the amount by almost half is very disappointing.

The vermicelli w/ beef and banh mi are really nice here. Next time we will try the pho.

Good solid Pho. Nice service. Enjoyable.

I have been coming here since it opened. I used to like eating in or doing take out with original founders / owners . Unfortunately now I notice the staff fill Uber eats orders before take out walk in orders and even serve in house diners who arrive after take out customers have placed their orders . Today a weekly regular showed up at a table and although I had already waited over 20 minutes his food was brought out immediately. I guess foot traffic walk in customers who pay cash are not paying the Uber eats prices so the orders are prioritized differently in the kitchen . It used to be first come first serve but it s a different experience now . . I frequently went for take out during the pandemic to support the business. Every owner has their own style of running a business but I used to feel like I was part of their family when the former founders were there with their kids practicing on the piano on site . Fresh and tasty food however service is unpredictable. Relationships with customers in the local community are equally important as volume and turn around with food delivery app customers and Uber eats reviews . I likely will try them one more time but if the service is the same where I am waiting over 25 minutes while food app drivers are prioritized and certain clientele I will opt to order from a few other Thai spots that are a drive away not walk away .

My partner s Beef Vermicelli Noodle looked great and the portion size was generous. However, my fried spicy shrimp was mostly peppers and green beans.

Delicious local spot. Will absolutely be back!

A great Viet-Thai cuisine restaurant. I keep coming back here often!

I dont know who was more disappointed...me or the fish that lost its life in vain to become my meal tonight. Ordered the fresh shrimp rolls, which were completely devoid of flavor, and the fish green curry dish. The filets of fish were deep fried and haphazardly topped up with some whitish brown curry and veggies, which seemed more like an afterthought. Safe to say that I wont be visiting this establishment in the near future.

The food is always delicious

I havent been to this restaurants since covid. My wife has been going having chicken vermicelli and raves about it. I had the rare beef pho and I was blown away on the broth flavour. The depth of flavour was amazing! Felt like I was back in Hanoi again. Generous portion. Definitely coming back more often.

Extremely tasty rare beef pho, would like to have had the beef be a bit more rare though. Shrimp spring rolls were so bad I left them

The lemongrass broth is to die for!!

Food is great here.

Delicious food, made to order

This is the best place to get soup in the city... They also have some of the best tasting chicken fried rice Ive ever had!

Great quality food Everytime. I recommend the beef and rice personally and my bf always gets the chicken and rice. Great portions and taste !

Best pho ever

Quality food

When our palates scream for broth, we order little coxwell for delivery! The broth is outstanding , clear full of flavour. We usually order the beef on the side

Eggplant and rice was a real hit, but pad Thai is dry. My order was wrong but tasty just the same. I really like their curries.

The food was amazing!!! Great meal!

Stop going here. Its dirty, low quality food and very bad service. They made a mistake on the order, and returned a item. While waiting 30 mins for my new order at the restaurant he forgot to place the order. I asked why it wasnt placed and they just asked what do you want ... I asked for my money back and never again returning.

Such an underrated gem. Every dish I ve had has been delicious. Wonderful food, generous servings, good prices, and lots of choices.

Small local Pho place. Had the vermicelli with spring roll and pork. Generous portion of pork. Not many dine in at the time but there were lots of takeout happening.

Worst customer service

I realised, unfortunately after ordering, that the place was very filthy. We had switch buttons next to our table that were disgusting (see pic), the walls had leftover food on it (probably sauce that splashed on the wall), the corners of the dining area were dirty, the ordering counter had dead flowers in a pot, dust everywhere and the toilets are to be avoided. The food is fine, I left most of it and just left feeling digusted by the place. I cant even imagine how the kitchen is if they leave the dining area in that state. Parking: Public street parking Kid-friendliness: High chairs available Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible for wheelchairs

Half the food came first, after about 10mins the rest came. The calamari used to be excellent one of the reasons why I used to go there. They change the recipe for the Product of the calamari it is terrible at best. Well not be going back.

Checked out this restaurant recommended by my bestfriend. Within walking distance of Michael Garron Hospital. Quick service, flavorful food and affordable. Hidden gem. Worth a visit!

I order pho from Little Coxwell once a week because it is my absolute favourite. Google reviews are too often used for negative experiences. Every time I order is beyond positive. So delicious and the portions mean I get two meals out of it Highly recommend!!!

Great place to get a quick bite to eat or have a dinner with friends, restaurant is normally quite quiet for sit downs but has a steady stream of delivery gigs coming through. I recommend the chicken pho!

Delicious food! I ve been going here for over 5 years and it never disappoints. Their pad thai and chicken fried rice is delicious. They also make good mango smoothies and thai coffee

Quiet, cozy little nook with quality, authentic Vietnamese and Thai food for a fair price and generous portions. I recommend!

Ordered Pineapple Fried Rice with Chicken and Rice Paper roll with Shrimp. Very small portion of shrimp in the rolls and very small portion of chicken in the fried rice.

Amazing food and very tasty I recommend for everyone

I had a delicious dish, and my friends didnt like the soup

Neighborhood hole in the wall, food is good not great.

Very nice, family run hidden gem.

Miserable service. Ordered at 6:00 pm. Food was supposed to take 45 minutes to show up, even though Im a 5 minute drive from the location. Called an hour later, told that my food was on its way. Get a call back 10 minutes later telling me that my order was not given to a driver, but it would be coming now in 15 minutes. I ask for the food to be driven over directly, since its already late. 30 minutes later, I call again, asking what on earth has happened to my driver and dinner. By this point I figured I would simply walk to a different restaurant so I could get takeout instead. Finally driver shows up 10 minutes after that, says he was busy with other orders. Food is lukewarm, since by now it has been over two hours since I ordered. What an absolute waste of time.

The worst kept secret on Coxwell. Been several times; never disappointed. Vegetarian options: Parking in front. Parking: Its good.

Good service and generous portions for the price. Vegetarian option was very flavourful.

The only problem with the clean rice noodles is that it takes a long time to come out. As it is a good restaurant, there is a lot of delivery and takeout, but the disappointing thing was that the meat had to be chewed. Its been a while since I visited again and tried a different menu. If you have constipation, stir-fried food is recommended. The meat feels dry and tough (is it because its old meat?) and it feels like a lot of salty sugar was added to remove the unpleasant smell of the meat?? Fortunately, the vegetables were in good condition, and more than anything, the rice noodles were okay..!? If you like jerky, go there

Really good food, surprisingly great prices

You and those before you have been giving us fresh, hot comforting food for so many years. Very appreciated. And you did it again with prompt delivery and hot and crispy dishes. Thank you!

Below I have it where I say that they take awhile to complete orders, but in two years since Ive written this review that isnt even a problem anymore. Theyre actually so fast now and the food is still delicious! Sometimes when we do pickup the orders arent ready when they say they are. And yet, I will go here for Viet-Thai food every single time without question. I tried UberEats from another restaurant and never wanted to again. Their pad thai didnt compare to Little Coxwells. The food is DELICIOUS, every single order. You get large portions for the cost too. The staff is friendly and its always good to order local. I love how close it is and again, I cannot stress enough how amazing the food is. 10/10 go here for a full satisfied stomach!

I eat here when ever i see my phd. It is your typical hole in the wall resteraunt but delicious and worth the money. I always have the goat curry which is thick tasty and hearty. Places such as these must be treasured and protected as they are definitely worth your patronage.

Some of the best chicken vermicelli I ve had in the city! Lots of chicken pieces, and very flavourful.

A great place to grab a quick bite during the week. You know the pho broth is good quality, because it congeals when it is in the fridge.

I had hot and sour pork soup, delicious!

Food was served fast.

This place is awesome. Best pho I ever had it :) full of beef in it which is very rare in Toronto ( most of restaurants have poor pho ) Service was great and waiter ( Tam ) is very nice and on time always. Food

Delicious!

Amazing restaurant.

Best pho I ve ever had!!! Would definitely recommend to all my friends and family. The noodles are the perfect texture - not too soft or soggy - and the order comes with a very generous portion of rare beef. Broth was delicious, and just as good as leftover the next day. I will for sure be coming back :) also very much enjoyed the green curry

Possibly the best bowl of pho I ve had

We rarely dine in, but the take out is fresh and delicious! Their delivery people are always the kindest. Vegetarian options: Their veggie pho is a whole lemongrass experience!

Great food and fair prices

Great local family owned spot. Good for takeout or delivery, although nothing beats dine in pho with all the fixins. Good prices, friendly staff, food isnt greasy, lots of veggies and herbs.

Love this place! The Pho is excellent, you get a good amount of beef and the basil is always green and fresh. I also get the green curry which has an awesome assortment of vegetables. Really delicious and free delivery within 2kms. Highly recommend!

Obsessed with their BBQ beef, wonderful spot- healthy portions for a great price, never dissappointed.

Large portions but not exactly what I was expecting. The hot & sour glass noodle soup was more like a pho, not the veggie filled gelatin base Thai soup, but a clear broth with lots of pork &/or beef pieces? It was decent but I probably wont order again. 2.5 stars.

Been there twice and definitely will go again. Excellent food and service. 10/10

Just okay, no other options for Viet food nearby. Broth for pho was okay, but their options werent as good as other places. Bun was also just okay.

This place is awesome. Food is perfectly prepared, fresh and delicious. Affordable price. I order in skip the dishes and arrived so quick, fresh and hot.

Good place

Perhaps the take out/delivery is different from the in store - how ever we ordered Cashew Nut Chicken, Shrimp Pad Thai and Spicy Glass Noodles (w/ chicken). I have to admit the food was quite bland - the Cashew nut chicken was arguable the worst I have ever had (zero flavour, the sauce was very much like water and oil and the peppers were basically raw like they had not been cooked together etc). The Pad Thai was very meh.... little amount of shrimp and semi bland taste. The Spicy Glass noodle with chicken was the only dish that had some flavour, albeit its far from what I would call spicy (its not even North American spicy). Overall very disappointed after reading reviews etc. I was hoping to find another Viet/Thai food restaurant but came up empty handed.

Wonton soup: 10/10, full of flavours Green Curry With Rice (Prawn/ Beef): Really tasty It s a non-fancy, cozy restaurant with fantastic hospitality from the people working there.

I ve been here about 5x and the price is very affordable. I ve tried the pork vermicelli and the beef vermicelli and they re both delicious! I ve also tried their pho, which I don t think is as good as other ones I ve had in the area. Overall This restaurant is my go to when I need someone quick and cheap to eat!

Found dead caterpillar the size of my fingernail in my pho after 2 bites. The waitress apologized and said she would comp my bowl, I asked for a new bowl without veggies (so there wouldn t be bugs). Still had to pay FULL price for the food, they argued they remade it. Will not be coming back for $13 pho with bugs inside.

Food is Good but the customer service sucks they are not friendly and it seems so lazy you ask him to give you warm water with lemon he will say yes but in the end nothing... We still gave them a tip even its not worth it hope the management will do something about it.

Amazing food!! Their rare beef and beef ball pho noodle soup is my go-to order. The portion is fair for the price and the taste is excellent. Highly recommended if you are in the area!

Great little spot, reasonable prices with large portions. I always get the lemongrass PHO and it is my absolutely favourite!

Go to for local take out or delivery

We had the mango salad, chicken pad thai, curry goat with noodles and green curry chicken. All dishes were very tasty and good portion sizes. Our kids enjoyed all the dishes as well since they were not too spicy. Will definitely order again. Thanks for a wonderful Canada day dinner ;)

everything is ok here, very filling.

Awesome food! Great portions and has real flavour! Pho has depth of flavour no doubt good amount of herbs etc, but the spicy green bean with rice is addictive a must try! Hope you enjoy your meal as I always do!

Great food. The veggies are so fresh and tasty. Lots to eat and take home for dinner the next day.

Quality of food has gone down since I last visited.

Parking: Easy to park

I love the place, it s a Gem. Price, quality and big portions.

Good portions fresh ingredients

Good food, portions are large and they always use lots of fresh veggies

Great for pho at home! I asked for no noodles (so I can substitute my own low carb ones), and they volunteered to give me an order of veggies instead - bonus! Serving size is generous (pictured is only half the order - Im saving the rest for lunch). The broth was flavourful, the beef was fresh and tender, the service was fast and covid-compliant - what more can you want in a neighbourhood pho joint? If youre looking for a nearby alternative to your favourite downtown place, this is perfect.

Amazing Pho!

They have good pho. Ive probably ordered it from here close to 100 times however this time they prepared the wrong order and sent me home with wonton noodle soup. No big deal. I called and drove straight back but when I arrived they insisted I pay for my order again.. If I didnt already love their noodle soup I probably wouldnt be ordering from here again.

We ordered delivery from Little Coxwell about a couple of weeks ago and the food was pretty good. The Fresh Shrimps Rolls were full and crisp, the Calamari nicely fried and seasoned, the Kalbi Beef Ribs were meaty and well-cooked, and the Chicken Spicy Basil Glass Noodles were very tasty and spicy.

I had the Bento soup and the chicken pot pie with peanut butter sauce with a side of calamari and it was so amazing I give this restaurant a 10 out of 10

Good food and reasonably priced. However errors in order may happen due to the staffs limited English. Just be sure to double check. Other than that a very good place.

Love the food and service here. Been going here for years. Never disappointed me.

Order the Pad Thai so yummy

So good! Just ordered delivery directly from the website of the restaurant. Very fast, very fresh, generous portion, just excellent. Thank you.

I m so disappointed. I placed my order so that my dinner arrived as i finished my work day. Clearly they made it when I ordered - long before delivery. The fresh spring rolls were mostly lettuce and noodles with one piece of awful spongy tofu. The beef in the beef vermicelli was so tough i couldnt eat it. The noodles had taken the form of the container so they had been in there for a long time and they tasted off. The side of rice was decent. Quality is certainly an issue here. Perhaps I just caught them in a rough night. Not sure I ll try them again to find out.

A great little neighbourhood restaurant. The bún and grilled chicken or meat on rice are huge portions and very tasty. Specials are good too, although Id avoid the Pad Thai (which isnt Vietnamese, so I dont know what I was thinking). The family that runs it are all very nice.

This is our go to place for Thai food. Great flavours and lots of menu items Very fresh!

I ve eaten here a number of time, usually at lunch on a work day. The rice vermicelli with pork and a wonton soup is the regular order and it s delicious! I ve had their goat curry as well and it doesn t disappoint; so many meaty chunks of goat on the bone in a super flavourful curry sauce. Definitely worth a try. Best eaten dine-in from my experience or takeout if you can pick it up and eat it as close to the time it left the kitchen as possible.

Well established Vietnamese and Thai kitchen. Tasty food, quick service and generous portions (I had enough for 3 meals (single person). I will be trying other items on menu in the near future. A take out recoomend

Ive had rare beef Pho here twice and both times delicious! Also ordered the fresh rolls no tofu, they were good too. Take out notes followed ;)

Their goat curry amazing & chicken pad thai is awesome too. I recommend it! Try it for take out, or delivery. Quick, clean,efficient service.

Great food

Love love their fresh chicken rolls, soooo good!

Pho and condensed milk coffee is the best combo. Love it.

Great food and service

Legit the best pho ever. I get the lemon grass broth veggie pho soup. It fixes any ailment you may have! Makes you feel great especially with a mango smoothie

Consistently, delicious food!

We always order through their website and if you are within their delivery area its free which is really nice. This place is 10/10 and you have to try the curried goat it is truly amazing.

Basil beef, green mango salad & fresh shrimp spring rolls. Get an extra peanut sauce or an extra fish sauce for the spring rolls. 5 star!

Nice little hidden gem in East York. Delicious Vietnamese food! I love the pho!

Happy to share this local joint for their friendly service and delicious food at reasonable prices. Had dine and and take out of various dishes and the flavour is always consistent. Husband was surprised and happy with the generous portion of meat and noodles in the take out container. Plenty of soup which we appreciate because other places never seem to give enough soup. Its our go to comfort food and it never disappoints.

This Vietnamese restaurant is a gem in Toronto. It is family run and the pho is authentic and delicious. Highly recommended.

Okay. My pad thai had too much of a tomato taste.

Was ok, will have to try something other than the Pad Thai. Based on other reviews looks like I should have tried the Pho. Fried tofu - 0 stars :( Pad Thai - 3 stars Fried wontons - 4 stars Spring rolls - 5 stars.

Service was bad, the waitress was not professional at all. The place is not clean (flies and bad smell), the food is not satisfactory. The service is bad more than anything. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone.

PLEASE DONT RUIN THE REPUTATION OF THAI FOOD. They need to learn how to cook. Ordered green/red thai curry received a uncooked stew. To get a parking and to come into the restaurant takes time. Or shouldnt be unfair to customers by serving this as thai food.

Are you craving fresh Vietnamese spring rolls? Curried goat? Wonderful Vietnamese dishes, good service, good covid protocols

Recently tried the Little Coxwell Restaurant (LCR) a few times via delivery. Normally, when you find a restaurant with such a large, varied menu, some dishes suffer. LCR however is one of those rare gems; a huge menu plus consistently great quality across a variety of Asian cultural staples. LCR serves fantastic dishes that span Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese, and more Asian cuisines. Gorgeous pad thai, pho, coconut curries, vermicelli, and more; fusion at its strongest. Cant wait till the next one!

Delicious and friendly. Try the curry and secret pain in the butt tip, its even better on the vermicelli noodles than on the rice.

great pho and well worth it for the portions !!

Worst customer service I have ever experienced. First I had to return my rice paper 3 times because it wasn t cooked properly then at the end, the waitress added 10% to the total of my bill for service without asking me saying it s the law

Got some takeout vegetarian Thai food recently. It was very good, and this will be a neighbourhood spot I will be ordering from again.

I read other reviewers reviews and went to try out Vegan here. A noisy, casual eat in and take out. It is more take out friendly than eat in friendly. Veg fried rice was good. No complaints on food. Cant comment on non-veg dishes as i have no experience eating non-veg. But place can be well furnished and a little more well maintained so that it can be rated in betwen a casual and fine dine in. Not a place to go to if you want to have important conversations over lunch. Too noisy. Ok for hanging out with friends on a casual chat.

Amazing broth, generous beef portion, friendly service. Would definitely come back!

FANTASTIC food

Great food and drinks!

Great food. Small, cozy space with wonderful staff weve known for years. Much more flavourful than most other Pho places in the East York and Scarborough areas Ive tried, and calamari is to die for in my opinion! An awesome homey meal when the family doesnt feel like cooking :)

Lovely little neighborhood restaurant.

Been going here for years. Top notch.

It saddens me to post this, but I believe this formerly great little gem has suffered some kind of setback. The quality of the food is not what it once was. Tonights meal is further proof. The wings were gross: thick and pasty with an unnecessary friend breading that made them heavy and unhealthy. The veggie dish merely average. I find it hard to believe Jennifer and her mother are still in charge. Speaking of the Coxwell location specifically. I cannot report on the other store.

Good beef pho.

Pho soup noodle flew piece of Cooke beef 2 beef ball cut in 4 $10.75 won t come back get a pizza is better

Best food and good price. TONS OF VEGGIES

Ive been eating at this restaurant for a few years now. The food is amazing delicious, one of the best places to eat in Toronto. Thank you for the take out service, we still enjoying your amazing, delicious food.

Food are very tasty and you can tell they put in thoughts and efforts in making them. Great restaurant!

Uber eats food from here and omg it was so delicious will definitely order from here again.

Very sad to say, my review has changed. We gave it a try a fww times. I am assuming there was a new management take over. Not worth the price anymore. Sad to say because thus was one of my favourites.

Do not eat here if you have allergies. The food is not authentic so it contains ingredients you would not expect in Vietnamese food. When I tried to call to clarify, the kitchen had no idea what ingredients were in the food. Spend your money elsewhere.

I don t know how this place doesn t have a 5 start rating. The other Vietnamese restaurants around here are a joke. I ve been ordering from little Coxwell for the past 3 years and I always get consistent amazing food. Beef vermicelli is soooo good. High quality ingredients, and fast service. Thank you.

Very great food, pretty cheap too. Seems like a family restaurant

Waited over an hour for DISGUSTING food. There was a pile of blood at the bottom of the beef and it smelt ROTTEN!!!!!!!!!!!! I don t know how this place stays in business. So disappointing because I love Pho so much I eat it 2-3X a week. Never had pho taste so bad.

Always great food

The pork and spring roll vermicelli bowl is delicious. Plus, the portions are big and the prices quite affordable. I cant wait to order again!

Nice cozy little hot spot in the neighbourhood. Socialling distant in effect. Its very busy here at times, so need patience, they are working as fast as they can.

PHO is great, 5 star. Rest Ive tried is, well, mediocre is a stretch. 2.5 star and wasnt cheap. I will stick to the PHO and dont recommend the rest.

Great pho, their pork noodle soup is also amazing.

Down the tubes. Last rating was a 4, but the last three times they completely struck out. Cold food, delayed slow service, unapologetic, and the worst part was the back of the house took no covid precautions. AVOID.

Have only had the Vermicelli but have had it like a dozen times. This place slaps

Solid grub but they need to clean it up a bit...

Food was amazing..I got the beef vermicelli and hubby got the pad thai with chicken..the flavors were delicious and they were very generous with the chicken in the pad thai...great job..thank you

One of the worst restaurant with unprofessional staff. Arrogant and no sense of talking with customers.

The food is great, I will definitely come back.

My go to take out place!
