Saigon Express Restaurant in North York

Best among the best

Milk tea is amazing

Great food! Great service. Staff is really nice. Very good value. Highly recommended for a quick, cost effective meal. Food : 5/5

Best noodles I have had

This place was a cornerstone of our friend group in high school, the food tasted amazing plus the serving sizes are humungous! I could eat one meal here and be filled for the rest of the day. When we graduated the owner even came to thank and congratulate us for graduating. And yes, we will be back for more.

the food here is really good i got the beef fried udon noodles it was delicious best Vietnamese food i ve had in toronto.

Authentic HK Dry Fried Beef River

The best pho I ve ever had

Fair price, delicious food and good service.

The best pho everrrrrrrr!! And the other food items are also amazing!! Recommend 1000%

Great food the lemon grass pork chop rice is a must try . Great price too

First time to try their meal! Pho is nice!!! Soup is hot !! That is important for the pho!! They did very well! Want to try their different meal next time. Well come back

This place is my friend and my boyfriend s go-to pho place! We ve been here so many times that the owner always greets me and my friends and ask how i m doing! There Pho bowls always have the perfect amount and i m never left hungry! Everything about this place is perfect!

The food is tasty and delicious. Its packed with flavors. This is authentic!! Oh the pho oh wow, curry chicken oh wow, pork BBQ with eggs oh wow. Sweet n sour beef /chicken oh wow! I have tried everything on the menu and It did not disappoint me. Could use smile a little but we all know were here for the food. The price has gone up a bit but the flavor n recipe remains the same. This is a hidden gem at peanut plaza! Worth it!

Im shocked. I was on my way to eat in the middle of lunch. I arrived, the employees of this institution are sitting at the table, eating and telling me - we are closed))) if you want to stay hungry and get negative, then welcome to this wonderful place. Spend your time written.

Nice and tasty pho, I order quite often and the portions are big.

Wrong closed information

This is my favourite restaurant, i come with my wife at least twice in a month and there is always one more thing to try. I recommend that you call before coming is not so crowded but the owner take his lunch time off so he close the front door.

We Enjoyed Our Family Lunch, Today!! Delicious Food And Huge Portions!! The Buckinghams Ajax, ON

My family & I loves Vietnamese food . Weve tried so many Vietnamese Pho Restaurants & by far we have been giving a high recommendations for Saigon Express Restaurant to all our friends & family members. Their BBQ Pork/Chix/Beef & their Pho soups are excellent. The poetion size is worth the price youre paying for. You bet you will keep going back for more after tasting their food,

Best pho I ve ever had

I keep coming back to this place. Beef vermicelli is amazing.

One of the best In Toronto hands down. A North York gem!! I ve been coming here for years and everything on the menu is amazing but my two favs are House Special Pho and the Beef Vermicelli It s fast fresh friendly and all around fantastic. You will 100% be coming back!! Food

I used to be a fan of this place, but I slowly realized that the owner is not a nice person at all. Very rude, money hungry, and almost unprofessional. He let the hype get to his head and now charges $20 for pho. Banh Mi is a cheap street food that you can get for $10 through authentic, Vietnamese-owned restaurants throughout the city. The owner is obviously a very monetary person and is charging almost double for something that isn t even authentic! If they remained the same in service and quality, I would rate this higher. Rude owner, food quality dropped (prices went up), overpriced, and it isn t authentic. Take business to Banh Mi & Ti or literally any other Vietnamese place in PGH.

My fav spot in the city. Great Pho and rice dishes are tasty and fulfilling!!!! IT S GIVING!!!!

The food is pretty good, but DANG - I ve never seen a manager get so mad about wanting to switch an order from Dine In to Take Out. I even told him nevermind, I ll just dine in if it was going to work him up so much. Anyways, if you don t care about customer service, the foods decent. Just never change your mind about anything and keep small talk to a minimal, and you should be fine.

Disgusting place, I got the chicken pho, all the chicken they gave me is all fat when it s supposed to be chicken breast. This looks like dog food, they shouldn t be serving food that should go in a meat grinder for ground chicken. I ll never be back, too many other places to go to that serve edible chicken.

Friendly service and generous portion sizes. Great value.

we always come here whenever we want to do some take out and its always taste good and freshly made . they have the best pho(house special is our favourite) in North York. the lemon chicken and beef are the best too if you like food with rice they put a lot of meat. shrimp tempura are always fresh and crispy delicious . the food are worth the price. they are always nice and friendly as well every time we come here.

He is so nice. They keep restaurant so clean. Pho is delicious and reasonable price.

Good pho, reasonably priced. Revisit regularly.

I work nearby and come to this store often. I like their soup very much. It can be said to be the most cost-effective Vietnamese noodles in the Toronto area.

The pho was amazing with loads of meat in it. The ambience is average since its present inside the super market but the place was super clean.

it used to be a nice place BEFORE, but now AWFUL service. people are treated badly if they spend more than 2mins to order the food. Eat-in though is permitted but not welcomed at all, you can see it obviously shown on waiters face. Disappointed.

This restaurant is my favorite restaurant in Canada!!

Truly a hidden gem! It is a must have, super friendly staff, cheap and affordable, and wk definitely fill you up. I recommend getting the Beef and Meat Balls Pho.

Delicious. Accommodating to customizations. Packed nice. Overall good value-for-money.

Good food.. bad service..

Really good price and blew out of my mind. I had better phos from other place but came here without any expectation. Soup was above average and the brisket was really good

The price of Vietnamese noodles has risen significantly.

Excellent taste

The food is unbelievable good. Fresh and so well prepared. The portions is also great and price is affordable. Family oriented and great staff.

I order spicy beef pho and they give me instead of beef its pork with little meat of beef. My wife order chicken still with pork and desame taste with my order

Decent

Not really sure if this is authentic Vietnamese... Quite oily and bland compared to food I had in Vietnam. Service was pretty good. I should try something else next time.

Sooo good!

Tried it for first time today take out. Price is good and portions are pretty generous. Tried the beef pho and shrimp udon. I could tell that the staff were putting a lot of care into keeping the place clean and sanitized. They were immediately cleaning and sanitizing the tables after people left and washing their hands. I could also see they were taking great care in packing up the food. Theyre trying their best. Edit: went back again 4 months later, still great. Good owners Edit: Went back again and tried the vermicelli. Good

Got pad Thai it was delicious!!!

Best in toronto!

Fast and friendly service

Its delicious, but they only accept debit.

Ordered the Beef pho and wanton soup! It was great! Be back soon! It was a huge portion of soup. Now i am wondering why one reviewer said that the Food was only a small portion maybe she has a big stomach and cannot fill a big bowl of soup for herself.

Excellent food and service. Worth for the spent

We came by for a quick lunch, we ordered a Beef & Brisket Pho and a Chicken Pho. The beef Pho was good but the chicken tasted like packaged grilled chicken and the broth didnt have much taste. No mint, lime or additional bean sprout like traditional Pho restaurant. If you want a quick lunch then it will be fine.

Just right. No fancy.

Ive been coming here for the last 3 years and can vouch that you will not get a better value anywhere else for the same type of food. Their pho is spot on and generous in portion. In terms of customer service, the owner is quick, direct, and accurate which is all I need. I have been coming here ordering take out during the early days of covid. Unfortunately they dont seem to be open at this time.

PLEASE REOPEN SOON, WE MISS YOU

Excellent

My first time been to this place and surprisingly, the Pho is much tasty than I imagined. The owner is a nice guy and the bowl is packed of noodles. Its like a large size from some other place...SO FULL!! The soup base is very rich and full of beef bone aroma, I would definitely come back!

Great tasting food - Highly recommend!

They uped their prices recently and its not as worth it anymore. Used to get a good meal for just under 10 bucks after tax. Food quality wise, it was good and a good portion size. I usually get the chicken vermicelli (bún). Customer service is lacking. Wouldnt likely go out of my way to order here as much as before.

I love going to Saigon to eat with my fam, they were always nice and the food was always the best. I really miss it. I haven t find anything similar or better. Rey, if you still working here, and ever see this, my mom say hi, my dad miss the milk tea and I lost your phone number ): but we remember you with love hugs from Mexico

Good taste w/ Good Price!!!

They only have one size for the pho and also the organization of the restaurant seems to be lacking they didnt clean the table that me and my girlfriend ate at.

Wish they can open earlier for breakfast. It should be nice to eat a bowl of pho in the morning. Taste of pho is above average

Great

Very clean fresh meals very tasty i absolutely love it and recommend it most dishes under 10 bucks.. u cant go wrong.. Best pha thai in town!!

I am crazy about their Pad Thai noodle! Soooo good!

Decent portion delicious food

Good food but not the best. Okay portion. It would have been 4 stars if they put more portion and bigger shrimps. They use those tiny frozen white shrimps. I don t give 5 stars only if it is mind blowing good.

Great little place run by 2 hard working owners who serve with pride. Though its a small place in a mall, they put out a great variety of food choices to please the crowd. Absolutely love it. Best pork chop rice!!

good price..

I love this place. I usually go here if I want to eat pho.

Its okey. Not great

The food is amazing and the price is right. Very cool and polite staff.

Magnifico noodles fantastic

The guy by the counter is not the most friendly in the world, but the food is good and the price is just! One dish is enough for me and my wife. Thumbs up!

Although it is an Express restaurant, it is one of the best Vietnamese noodle restaurants Ive been to, and I recommend it based on its food alone as well as its cost-effectiveness.

Unpalatable!

Good food!

even though its a small walk up dinner in the plaza I figured Id give them a try. had the coconut chicken fried rice and they must put some secret sauce in it because it was lovely. just enough coconut flavor to make your mouth water.

The noodles and the broth are surprisingly good, so good that I finished the soup after eating all the noodles and price is good deal for such a large portion for a meal. Highly recommend this place if you want something comforting and on a budget.

great food beautiful people

Quick, hot, a bit small

Friendly owner, good price for a good size of a meal

Price is good, but taste is so so

I love it! Down side? I thought the food portions where smaller than what they are, so i ordered a ton and god stuck with alot of leftovers... DELICIOUS LEFTOVER THOUGH

I often go here for pho or lemon grass meat with rice. Food tastes good. Portions are good. Price is good. Staff is good.

Good pho. Just down to earth good. Good price too.

The Pho was just so so...

Worst service. Doesnt have authentic taste

Best quality food for a good price ! Very delicious food!!!

Was pleasantly surprised by the quality and flavour of the broth. Noodles were perfect. Meats were quality cuts and well portioned. Ill be back if Im in this area in the future.

chinese owned unauthentic vietnamese restaurant. if you find this tasty i almost feel bad for you

I have been here twice now and both times I was impressed with the food here. It s a very unassuming place located in peanut plaza - at first glance it doesn t look like it would be good but surprisingly the food here is even better than some actual pho restaurants. I have had the beef and meatball pho, pad Thai and chicken vermicelli and all are pretty good. Portions are generous for the price. I also highly recommend their iced milk tea - creamy yet not too sweet!

Great food. Not oily. Good prices, but no larger portions; only one size pho.

Good food. Milk tea was delish. Pad thai was a little sweet and ketchupy. Altogether though good value. Would go again.

Affordable and delicious, you ll never get tired of eating it. This is a must-visit restaurant every week! The boss is also very cute Hygienic and clean!

Pho is decent. This place is good if youre in a pinch.

We enjoyed the Fried Rice here a lot!!!

Excellent food. Amazing value. Good service and fast. I cant think of a thing they could do to improve the experience. Highly recommend.

The beef balls are no different from the off-brand starch balls bought in the supermarket across the street. The soup is bland, the powder is not overpowering, and the quantity is not large. With these ten dollars, I might as well go to the food court in Fairview Mall to eat.

The house special pho is mediocre at best. Meat is chewy (I picked them out after a while), tendons are too hard/ under cooked, broth is darker than average. Far from authentic (not viet owers). The star is only for the sheer quantity of noodles. But for $10, you can find much much better pho elsewhere in the city. Honestly confused how the rating is above 4??

Nice people. Fast. Loads of great food for a decent price. Going regularly.

Great Pad Thai and Red curry!

Love this place! Very yummy Pho and fried rice.

We have been going here for years, since they opened. It goes to prove: healthy fare does not mean tasteless. This is healthy, fresh, vibrant, tasty Vietnamese food, prepared with care and finesse. The pho here is good, not too salty. I have the vermicelli with salad and grilled pork, thinly cut. Not sure what marinade they use but it is addictive. The salad rolls - out of this world. Had the cafe da and am still bouncing off the walls from the caffeine - hard core, smooth, real Viet coffee. Regular customers, everyone knows everyone else, it is like being in a family members home for lunch. Nice, welcoming and warm atmosphere. Love this place. NICE people running the restaurant

Best phó I ve ever tasted!

Saigon Express Restaurant. (2018 August).

This place is a surprise find. Its in a strip mall, hidden away unless you walk in and wonder to the popeyes or go to the grocery store Ton Tai. Tried the pho and it was great! Wont be the best but for the value and speedy service you wont be let down

A true gem. Everything weve had there was excellent and the service is always friendly and super fast.

Better than economical

Counter person very rude. Avoid!!! Food not value for money.

good staff, this is counter service and you grab a table, the pho is okay

Anne I love the food

DId not like the service and the server was rude.

Great food and great service.. best in the area

The restaurant does not look outstanding but they have great food with reasonable price, which makes me coming back.

Very tasty, very clean, very good service, and very reasonably priced. I went shopping next door on weekends and had a bowl of hot Vietnamese noodles. I enjoyed it very much.

Im quite impress with the Pho here. its turn out to be really good broth and decent amount of meats as well. I havent try others dishes. but its a good quick eat and take out place.

Not a very large menu, but what is offered is very good. I regularly visit for pho or bun. The prices are reasonable and the restaurant is conveniently located at the southern entrance of Peanut Plaza.

Beef meatballs soups taste good!:) but why ONLY THIS restaurant charge for container when you want to bring home your leftovers food u havent finished????

deliscious food, fast service.

This pho place has decent pho for being inside a little mall. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and it wasnt bland. Good portion and price for my meal. I would come back here again.

Pho was good. More of a fast-food place than a true restaurant. Overall positive experience. Plenty of free parking at the Peanut Plaza. Very hard to find a decent pho place in North York.

Owner are very friendly! Food and price are good!!!

Pretty good bowl of pho, friendly and quick service.

the owner was very nice and the food is really good, i order the pineapple chicken and the Saigon noodles, very good portions for the price and the seasoning was delicious!

Great staff and great service. Definitely recommend it!

Delicious, the owner is friendly

Just bad

This place is inside the mall, pretty decent pho and spring rolls.

The pho was pretty tasty and cheap with a good portion size but the noodles were served clumped together

One of the best thai/vietnamese places around hands down!
