Came here with my coworker, got a medium size bowl of their pho special (Pho Dac Biet). Everything was okay, and founded the broth to be missing a deep flavour normally done with a letting the broth slowly boil. The server was good, quick, no complaints.

This is such a banger, best pork I've had in a while (tied with the secreto iberico in Seville), tender and flavorful. One star removed from food because my otherwise wondrous coffee froze over and nothing can be done about it.

Don't Recommend. Noodle are soft, soup is bland. Will not come back. Spring rolls with not a authentic type of fish sauce is a no go.

I ordered the extra large pho for $16.50 plus tax and service fee on Ubereats. It was small for a extra large - there was not much meat, noodles, just a little bit of bean sprouts, and almost 1 container of soup. The broth is flavourful. It is a little more concentrated and has a little more oil than other pho places.

The food was okey, but the price is so confused. Same person but different(i came 3 times and order same but different price 3 times). Actually they overcharged me when the price in the receipt is higher than the menu.

Small place, authentic Vietnamese food, food is freshly made by order and staff are very friendly. Food is delicious, place is clean and they don’t take too long to serve. Complementary tea is offered no charge with your food when you dine in. Also Vietnamese sandwiches. Dine in or take out is available, always hot and consistent flavour. I live in the area and I’ve been eating at this place for a long time, I never get disappointed. The owner is a very nice person. I highly recommend this place.

Found this place like about 10 years ago. I tried their sandwich. Best banh mi I have ever had. Every time Im in the area, I always try to stop by.

December 22, 2023

I got coffee with condescend milk and Vermicelli with spring roll and pork. Disappointed with the drink they gave it to me as take out. I like the whole experience of the coffee and was let down. My vermicelli was hot and it didn t taste good at all. I m not a fan of hot vermicelli, the spring roll was oily not good at all. Last time I visited this place

Ordered a small rare beef pho and fresh rolls with shrimp for take out. Took about 10 minutes and both tasted great when I got home. For a small pho I had two full portions, so lunch the next day. The solo lady that was working was polite and efficient, with a full restaurant and quick takeout. Will be a repeat customer.

Absolutely FANTASTIC! This is a very cozy little place serving fresh Vietnamese cuisine that is truly delicious!! They have a very large selection of dishes, prepared to perfection with great portions and prices as well. The service is excellent with very friendly and helpful staff. Nestled away in a plaza off of Keele & Finch I will most certainly be returning again.

I tried the pad thai and shrimp rolls. The food lacked flavor and it just wasnt good. I do not recommend this place.

December 22, 2020

AVOID AT ALL COST. GROSS AND INCONSISTENT, came here in November for lunch and had the best pad Thai ever. I went yesterday and it was the worst dish Ive ever had handed to me. Garlic and unions burnt, rubbery chicken and no garnish or sauces. Oh, and a massive clump of plain noodles right in the niddle. Im talking like half the portion of noodles was clumped together and plain. They werent busy, there was no excuse to let food leave their kitchen like that. Im pretty sure there microwaving the noodles there. Anyways, its pure trash. Save your money

Doesn t matter if it s early lunch or late dinner, I always have the best experience here. Even now during covid, I call in, place my order, walk down from my office and pick up. They work so fast and they are so friendly. I will always be back here for more and I always recommend them.

This place is one of my favorites! I come here often, and order the same pho every time. My boyfriend is the adventurous one and hasnt been disappointed yet by anything he tries. Its a simple, cozy place. Service is quick but attentive and the food is delicious - even the veggie sandwiches! Who wouldve thought vegetable sandwiches could be so good?!

Wow... walked in placed my order. 2 other tables only so not like its busy. Im thinking this place will nice. I order tea and water before my mean and place my order. I then ask if I can use the bathroom and do. I come back and everything is off my table and someone else is sitting at it. She couldnt wash a new table for me and had to ask for water and tea 3 or times more and she didnt didnt bring a cup. Food was ok not the best. Place is 2.5 out of 5 for clean... not a place Ill come back to Edited just as I left...... I just left and there were empty wrappers in the dish. She could produce a receipt and I asked for a glass of water and she took one off the wrong table. Filled it and handed it me.. WOW... NEVER!!!

Great food , pho is okay but their appetizers and rice dishes are better

December 22, 2017

Dont try, really! I dont think they even care! 1, Soup - so clear, taste so clear too. I had to put so much fish sauce into it to make it not taste like MSG infused water. 2, Garnish - mere to none. 3, Meat - I ordered a large Pho Tai Nam, I found each type 4 pieces. Tai - so thin that it really not only cooked in the tasteless soup when you just stir them but also desolved into flakes. Nam - they are so lean and tough. No skits of bouncy fat/ can be traced. 4, Portion - everything are under the surface of the so-called soup. I had to go to Pho Linh, which is just north of it on Steeles, and order a small size of the same thing and found that they gave me almost double for the same cost.
