I got stir fried noodles with beef and veggies. It was really really bland, I had to add soy sauce for some flavour. There were barely any veggies in it, it was all bean sprouts and thin dry beef. I was hoping for more flavour but honestly I’m a little disappointed

I accidentally found this place when I was in their neighbourhood and I was pleasantly surprised! I’ve been there a few times and when I’m sick I make a trip there just to have their pho! Cute little place and super clean and the waitresses are super friendly!

I was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was here. The pho broth is very different from the typical broth. It's very rich and has a slight sweetness to it which makes it addicting. I finished the whole bowl which is something I am not typically able to do! Friendly staff and clean restaurant. I will definitely be back!

What a great place! Me and my mother walked in at the spur of the moment and it was both our first time, too. My mother’s first time try(not Vietnamese food. The people were super nice, the food was really delicious and fresh — even the water tasted good! It was definitely filtered and not right out of the tap like most restaurants do. And added bonus was the postcards from Vietnam all over the wall on one side of the room. They were cheery and it gave me the impression that the owners truly love Vietnam. Will definitely go back repeatedly!

What a pleasant surprise! I accidentally stumbled upon this restaurant during a quick lunch, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. Right away, I noticed the perfect cleanliness and comfortable ambiance. The service staff was exceptionally friendly. I opted for the chicken noodle soup and fresh mango salad with shrimp, which were served promptly. The food was not only fresh but also incredibly delicious. I left thoroughly pleased with my dining experience and would easily rate it 5 stars for its cleanliness, service, and the quality of food. The bill was $33 before tips. Highly recomended for those who value healthy food.

A nice and clean corner to enjoy authentic Pho 🍜. Everything is served decently. Chill music and friendly servers. Special Pho and avocado smoothie are so yum 😋 We will definitely come back again.

This was my first time discovering this spot. The place is quite small and cozy, clean and modern- an Instagram and social media-style food spot. The server was approachable, nice and welcoming. She checked on customers to see if anything was needed. The food was served after 10-15 minutes after ordering. The prices were expensive compared to other pho restaurants located in the North York- Downsview area. The pork rice dish didn’t come with a bowl of soup, which was also difference in other pho restaurants located in GTA. The pork didn’t taste good, there wasn’t sweetness to the flavour of the meat. But every chef is different, rate of this dish 3/5. The classic beef noodles pho was good though, 4/5. As for the vermicelli noodles dish, it wasn’t flavorful and the shrimp had a burnt taste to it. The meat was also quite little compared to other pho restaurants, would rate this dish 3/5. A suggestion, provide the customers with napkins (3-5 sheets) when serving the food. It would be greatly appreciated! Also, the washroom febreze scent is quite overpowering and strong, but the washroom was clean.

Staff are accommodating but Overpriced menus with small portions, to be honest other pho places is better in terms of portion and price friendly... and take note their spring rolls taste weird looks like its been just re-fried and serve it again... 2 spring rolls for 7.99... just ordered C01 plus spring rolls and paid 32.98 LoL... Wont recommend

Good spicy (satay) pho.. Wouldn t say it s in my top 5 for GTA but it d do well when convenient.. maybe top 5 in (or across the street from) York Region.. maybe.. The noodles were great (4.5/5), the broth was up there (4/5) and the rare beef meat was good (3.5/5). Friendly staff, clean (but small) location, it s definitely worth checking out if you haven t already.

Ive had the Pho soup in the past, which was good, but for a change, I ordered the stir-fried chicken with vegetables and egg noodles and it was too bland. I had to add soya sauce and hot sauce just to give it some flavour. I left disappointed - wishing I spent my money elsewhere. I dont think Ill be coming back.

Cozy, clean, and cute. You can tell these people work hard to keep this place neat and tidy. Service was great and the food arrived quickly. Came here with my girlfriend(Vietnamese) and we had an excellent experience. She said the decor made her miss her home country. Overall I would give the place a 4.5. I read a lot of the reviews after my stay here. And Im confused by all the complaints about prices and portions. I ordered 3 entrees: C10-Beef, C14, and C22-Beef. Prices these days are like that almost everywhere. There are burger places selling a single burger for $20. So Im not sure what the fuss is about. Prices everywhere are going up. I compared their menu to 3 places around and theyre all about the same for similar items (within +/- $1-2 of each other, some of them cost more for some items, others cost less) Id eat here again for sure. My advice for possible improvements: - Simplify the menu, a lot of options can leave people guessing. Id focus on making a few dishes really good. - Some of the flavours could be better. But I enjoyed it. C22 the curry spice level was perfect but it could have been thicker. C10 was great. C14 was delicious, the beef cubes were like buttery my gf said :) Portions were good too, not sure what people are talking about in some of the reviews. Kid-friendliness: Cute chalk board art along the left(east) wall.

Ordered through Ubereats, the food arrived quickly and tasted great. The Banh Mi was really good, I absolutely loved the bread it came in and the fresh veggies really complimented the pork. The wonton soup was also really good as well. I got a small and didnt realize how big it was, I had to save some for later. I will definitely be ordering again and trying out some new things on the menu.

Tasty food but extremely expensive. For that reason I wouldn t buy again. For lunchtime I purchased spring rolls, and two of the special bowls and this cost me over 45 dollars.

I ordered Bun Bo Hue today and unfortunately it was a total disappointment. The broth was extremely sweet. Theses no umami taste. Also didnt taste the lemongrass or any other aromatics in the broth. Speaking as a Vietnamese, this is not how bun bo hue is supposed to taste.

★★★★★
December 23, 2022

Its like a hidden gem as it isnt as big as other Vietnamese restaurants around Toronto. Unfortunately couldnt dine in due to Covid restrictions but they use reusable bowls for our pho dac biet and Tom Yum pho, separated from the soup base No cash discounts but the service is a lot better than youd expect from a pho place.

My first time ordering food here through SkiptheDishes. Pho Foodies presentation was very nice, it looks like they had a fun time organizing my food. Thats how neat it was presented to me when my food arrived. I also like the way the packaged all ingredients separately (broth in 1 container, the veggies in a small baggie & the ingredients for the soup in an actual soup bowl container. I took several photos to show proof but unfortunately, the images didnt turn out since I was so hungry... lmao ~ I see what some other customers are talking about the broth being sweet which is why I gave you 4* As for the fresh rolls.. O-M-G!! IT was delicious! I wish I had ordered more of those, next time! Overall food was delicious.

Servers are very attentive and courteous. Place is very clean. The pho special hit the spot, broth was hot but a little bit sweet. Next time will order extra meat. Our rice dish was undercooked (chicken) and they replaced with an entire new dish which was really nice. Chicken was definitely better than beef.

I am not a picky eater, but couldnt eat more than 3 bites. Noodle has very weird and strong smell, the taste of chicken was funny, also fish cake was too dry like rubber. I have had pho more than x100 times, even in Vietnam, but this was the worst. No wonder why we were the only customers in the restaurant.

I recently started going back to the office in the area, and spent some time looking for good options for Pho, my favourite food to eat. I drove by Pho Foodie, and finally found this gem of a place that serves GREAT PHO and AWESOME service. Let s start with the Pho: I order a Large Pho Special, that comes with free green tea. The flavour is authentic in every way, and carefully curated ingredients presented with a very cute, colourful spoon and just the right amount of meat, broth, and noodles. You can always tell a good Pho when you can enjoy the broth on its own, without adding any sauces. Highly reccomend! Now the service: Sammy the server was absolutely attentive and incredible. She always makes sure that my favourite table (window side) is clean, and serves up the quickest bowls. Best of all, she checks up on my order and ensure top of the line quality of food. Truly remarkable service with a smile. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to enjoy amazing, authentic Vietnamese food. You will fall in love! Thank you Pho Foodie and Thank You Sammy! :)

I came here today because the place I wanted to go to had just closed. It was totally different cuisine but I didnt feel like driving so I looked for an alternate option and Pho Foodie was literally next door. I checked reviews and they seemed good so I thought I would give it a go. The person at the counter was very nice. The menu is typical for this type of restaurant. I was optimistic. The food was prepared promptly. I took it home and both my wife and I looked at it in wonder. We were wondering what it was going to taste like because the Pad Thai dishes didnt look like others Ive had. Oh there was all the regular ingredients and they looked fresh. I ordered one chicken Pad Thai and one Shrimp Pad Thai. I asked them to mix it all together and then divide it into two containers so my wife and I could just eat out of the contsiners. We didnt want to wash dishes I also ordered one order fried spring roll and one order fresh shrimp roll. So the fried spring roll tasted very salty and was inedible but the fresh roll was ok. Not great but ok. The Pad Thai dishes lacked colour and had zero flavor. Usually theres a bit of a Smokey taste with some depth of flavor because the wok is blazing hot. This didnt have any of that so I added one tablespoon of Sirracha to my container and one and half table spoons sweet Chile sauce to both contains to try and salvage some of the food. That made mine sort of edible but my wife still couldnt eat it. Also, there were 4 to 5 shrimps between the two cartons of Pad Thai. Not large ones. Not in each but total. There was maybe six pieces of chicken between both cartons. Again, not in each but total. Very disappointing. Ive been to other places within one and a half kilometers from here and closer to my home that Ive had very good experiences at. I think Ill just keep going to those other places and chalk this up to a $50 learning experience.

What they have is ok. Their menu is limited. There price is 30 40% higher for no good reason. The size of there dishes are barely average. Meaning smaller than most. But what put me right off, was the portion of meat. There was about 4 paper thin pieces of beef in the dish the server suggested Stir fried rice noodle, Your choice of meats . For which they add $1 more. And another 4 pieces in the dish titled Beef Stew soup . There was so much inedible fat and tendon, that it was pathetic. I understand some people like fat and tendon, but that was not what the picture on the menu was showing. It is obvious this server did not want to be there. She acted miserable and it made the entire time ordering incredibly awkward. The taste of the food was on par with many other Pho Restaurants I ve eaten in, but I wouldn t go back here due to the higher prices, smaller servings and the unhappy help they have working there.

It was okay. I moved in this area and is in search of decent pho spot for coming winter. This spot definitely didn t pass for a come back for me. Pho is known to be a hot, tasty and usually the portions are decent. I don t if they have limited noodles in the back but it didn t look like a cook made it. It looked more like a person with no restaurant experience made it. I tried this spot and would no go back. Charge more but serve sumptuous food.
