Pho Mama is the perfect place to discover authentic Vietnamese cuisines. Our generous portions, our affordable prices and friendly service make our restaurant the perfect place for your next outing or commend to bring.
Authentic Vietnamese cuisine. The beef pho and spring rolls are very delicious. The owner is very friendly as well.
Our first time here and we will definitely be back! We ordered deep fried spring rolls, broken rice with 3 toppings and bone marrow pho. Truly amazing and did not disappoint. Friendly service as well.
Hey lovelies welcome back to the blog, I have to say this is one of the best pho places I've ever eaten at. I like how the green tea is not cold and not too hot. Thank you 💋😋
Ordered com tam suôn nướng, gà nướng ( 3 topping rice) on Uber eats and it was absolutely delicious! Good portion and perfectly made! I will definitely be ordering here again regularly *edit: I ordered some bun Bo hue (spicy lemongrass beef vermicelli soup) and although it tasted okay, I was not happy about the serving size at all. It was disappointing and very small.
I ordered vermicelli from this place through Uber Eats. I found a piece of wire wool in my food, which was very disappointing. I only ate less than half before throwing the rest away. I suspect there are hygiene issues at this restaurant. Although I usually have a strong stomach, I started having diarrhea and feeling nauseous about an hour after eating.
We went for early dinner at Pho Mama. Ordered curry soup with Goat. Broken rice with three toppings Chicken , vegetables and hot pan fish. Starters were mango salad with prawn crackers and fresh barbecue rice paper rolls Very delicious, flavorful. Excellent service very warm family friendly atmosphere Food is so fantastic we will be going there in the future for sure
Hands down my favourite Pho restaurant in the neighbourhood! I visit often and get the Beef Balls Rice Noodle Soup or Congee! The menu prices are super reasonable and the food is delicious! My favourite place to go on my solo dates. Staff is friendly, atmosphere is cozy. Located in north Oakville at the Fortinos Plaza. Highly recommend 🍜🤍
Never go to this restaurant! Just see attached food photo, how big difference between two restaurants, Pho mama’s beef short ribs plate only give one and half pieces (very small and almost fat!) another restaurant (Ben Thanh at Appleby Burlington) are totally different. Reasonable volume of meat and good taste. The price even cheap then Pho Mama. Most surprise is the carrots! Is some kind joke? Only give few slices??how many is the price for carrots? They are as cheap as this, really unbelievable! I knew the owner always keeping eyes on the reviews. Just want them to think about their products. How you can keep the business like this way? How you can keeping your customers??
Consistently fresh ingredients and delicious pho! Restaurant is also very organized and service is fast.
Good environment but a little small in number of seating. Variety of dishes is typical of Vietnamese restaurants, but really good quality if a bit pricey
Very good soup base.. highly recommended
The rice was too dry, with little water to go
smaller but taste no change
The best pho place Ive been. We keep coming back. Servers were very nice to us.
The food is so amazing and the price is very very fair. I come here all the time and it is always consistently good.
Good soup,
Wow, best pho in the area
great frog
The food is soso.... burnt beyond what should be.
Great place for family pho night! Kid-friendliness: Always friendly and accommodating. Food : 5/5 |
Tasty food, great portions, you get your meal in a timely fashion from friendly and respectful staff. Enjoyed every bite!
Absolutely horrific customer service. When I ordered I asked specifically for only vegetables in my pho - as they ask you to choose three toppings - I both have allergies and am vegetarian for that reason. I received a dish full of raw meat and seafood which was both unappetizing and dangerous for me. When I called to bring this to the attention of the restaurant I was not given any answers as to why the instructions that I had written in TWO different places on the order was not followed, and I was screamed at by the worker. I would not recommend this spot based on the absolutely terrible communication and customer services when they make a mistake and you bring it to their attention.
I ordered through UberEats and found a curled up hair in the noodles. It was both disheartening and unfortunate. Attempts to resolve the issue through the app were disappointing so I have resorted to posting here.
This is our go-to takeout if were feeling like something light for dinner. Best wonton soup - very flavorful! Service is very quick and food is fresh and well priced
My go to Pho restaurant in Oakville.
Small restaurant perfect for great lunch!
This is my favourite Pho. Good place and friendly stuff!!! The boy has glass so cute
Unbelievable about food. I love vermicelli with chicken and pork
It was very delicious
Went in and ordered take out. While I waited, he gave me a complimentary cup of tea (which was delicious). Ordered the rare beef pho and the shrimp pad Thai. Both tasted amazing and portion sizes were great! Definitely recommend!
ORDERED PHO AND DEEP FRIED SPRING ROLLS four times this week SOOOO DELICIOUS!!!
The best
I usually dont write reviews unless Im asked but this place had the best pho broth Ive ever tasted. The staff are sweethearts and made me feel very welcome <3 my favorite pho place even after the first visit
Amazing food would come to eat again! However they only take debit and cash so make sure to not just have a credit card with you
Good food, wonderful service.
Great food, tasty and within reasonable price range. Atmosphere is super casual.
Id rather go to Saigon 88. Food is mediocre and the price is on the high side.
Amazing! Seriously so good, pho soup is a winner ( rare beef ) return every weekend with friends to enjoy. Great staff and location cant be beat!
Really good Pho. Fair price and size.
First time we tried. It was amazing..
Used to go here all the time. Went yesterday the portions have shrunk considerably and the price has nearly doubled. I get that inflation has an impact on pricing but not to this extent. Not good value.
Great vietnamese restaurant. I have ate here 1 thousand times
Their food and service sucks not a good place to go. If people wanna waste their money they must visit them and i saw they were talking to an uber guy with a rude way.
Really liked the food here and they have a good price point
This is one of our favorite restaurants in Oakville, and by far our favorite for Vietnamese food. We have gone many times, and the food never disappoints, extremely good quality!
Try their spring rolls, the taste are good and very filling.
A taste of noodle like Hongkong days.. Its a great experience having my fav food here in Canada
The food is average and environment does not look clean. I ordered one large and one small size noodle. When the noodle is on the table, I found the only difference between large and small sizes is not the food but the different sizes of the bowls This is the first time here, it will be the last time too.
Great food, large portions, friendly. Some of the menu is a little exotic if you have simpler tases, not bad just something to be aware of. Have had issues with credit there, they only took cash a few times.
delicous
They use very small boxes outside, and the portions of food are so small that no one can eat enough.
Consistently good!
I used to love ordering pho soup from here because it was delicious. But now when I order, the chicken is hit or miss (often most of it is gristle or fatty) and about half the size as it used to be. Ive been pretty disappointed the past few times Ive ordered, so Ill be trying other places instead.
I come here often because it s close. I love my Tom yum soup from here and avocado shake. it s my go to place when I want Pho but there s only one cashier with a ponytail who sometimes has an attitude but it s OK. I can put up with her for the food.
Pho didnt taste good. Mediocre at best but same price as others.
Nice to find a pho restaurant near my home. Taste good with a fair price. Will definitely come back again.
Excellent, true flavors. Quick and friendly staff. Highly recommended.
We go here pretty often and the satay beef pho is the best!
Great food and good prices. Would like more than 1 shrimp when adding it to the vermicelli, I understand it is a jumbo shrimp but still would be so much better to get more than 1 shrimp.
It pains me to leave this review because I want this place to be great. I leave this review after eating here about 4 times over 12 months. Prices are high, but thats not a deterrent, really. My gripe about this place is the very small portions. Compared to other Pho places, the pho is 2 sizes smaller. The amount of stuff (except the noodles) is very, very little. I could accept that, if the quality/taste of the broth wasnt below average.
Whenever I crave pho, this is my go to place. I love love love their Bun Bo Hue. It s delicious, flavourful and amazing portion. I have had always ordered via delivery app but they always honor my special instructions, if I wrote extra spicy, I am getting extra spicy which I love and according to my request they always give me extra basil. I also really enjoy their passionfruit drink, it just hits the spot. Hopefully, I pay them a visit soon too.
Too good that I finished my phone without taking a picture. Service is awesome and food is no doubt excellent. Their tea I must emphasize that is the best tea I have had in a really long time (I m a serious tea person) definitely recommend.
I took my daughter to eat in the restaurant. The Vietnamese noodles tasted authentic, but the waiter looked a little cross-eyed. There were two of us, but he pretended to be four people. The store had just opened and we were the only two customers. Isn t that ridiculous?
I had the spicy satay beef nice noodle and it was delicious. The broth is flavourful, spicy and has a light creaminess.
Everytime I visit this plaza I see a lot of traffic at this restaurant, so Id been meaning to try it out. I had pho and deep fried spring rolls. The rolls were a good size and had a good amount of filling. The phos broth was flavourful. Some minor drawbacks: the broth is a tad bit oily, the lime wedges are small (but you can ask for more), and there could be a bit more noodles, given the price. Inflation is really a killer, as 4 years ago the same dishes would have been half of the price. All things considered, the food was good and the staff were friendly.
Food? OK but always mess up w orders so I get wrong items or wrong modification
Great food but quite stingy on the sauce they give with the deep-fried spring rolls. Not enough even for one! It is also very expensive now!
Good food. I ordered the Pho house special soup and it was at par if not better than some of the other restaurants I ve tried
The avocado milkshake wasnt so good and the food was very fatty. For the price and quality of the food it wasnt worth it. Plus it was hard to get the servers attention when we wanted something.
Awesome place.
Came with my kids and ordered 3 small phos and a passion fruit drink. Pho was decent. I asked for a refill of the hot tea but never got it. I understand, they were busy and by that time we had to go. Went to go pay and they didn t add the passion fruit drink so I told them and then they wrote up a new bill. Noticed that they only take cash or debit so I gave them my debit card to run which has a Mastercard symbol but is a debit card from Korea. Gave them 15% tip too even though service was subpar and they didn t refill my tea. After it went through she said it was a Mastercard credit and seemed very annoyed even though I know it s a debit card and I also gave them tip and reminded them of the drink they didn t charge for. Food was okay but service needs work. Probably won t be coming back.
Really good place for traditional Thai food. Tasty fresh rolls and ph .
Love the Pho
Food was good but they charge $1 for extra sauce when they should put more to begin with. When businesses are cheap and charge for things like a little bit of extra sauce it ruins the whole experience and because of that I won t ever be coming back
Terrible attitude... The food was just mediocre but the ice coffee was very good. I wont be going back even for the coffee though.
It was a delightful experience. Friday late night below 17 degrees in Oakville I just wanted a hot soup and a warm atmosphere. Pho Mama was the perfect spot ! Pleasant greeting when I arrived staff rapidly accomodate us and the food service was quick and delicious. It was an extraordinary experience for that time of the night when every restaurant is closing Pho Mama was opened You must go and try! Gladis Valencia
The pho broth is average at best. The fish sauce for the vermicelli is bland, which made he dish a bit disappointing.
The servers were very attentive and the food came out pretty fast. The broth was very flavorful. I had the beef sate, not quite as spicy as I thought but did have a good beef flavor. Would probably stick with the pho next time though, had better flavor
Food is average and service is terrible
Inconsistent in their hours. Operating hour says open until 10pm and we were refused service at 8:45pm.
I actually love this restaurant so much, It has amazing Pho, service, tea, and its very clean. I 100% recommend going here, the pho is amazing and I love it so much. I would give it 10 stars if i could.
Just finishing my lunch - vermicelli with bbq pork delicious
Found a long wire in my vermicelli. Called the restaurant to let them know. There was no surprise, apology or regard for safety. They wanted to give us a credit on our food. We had to explain that perhaps it s more appropriate to refund us (we are happy to give the food back) and let us decide whether we want to eat at their restaurant again. This took awhile to comprehend. Eventually they refunded the meal. We kindly said to check where this may have come from to keep any customers from getting a perforated bowel. Response was - I don t understand, I already gave you your money back. Zero concerns or care. Update: They have LIED and not refunded us for the wire filled meal. Unbelievable. I m going to report them.
Maybe have more original response than two versions of Thank You based on the scoring; pretty obvious you don t give a rat s ar** about anyone s feedback
I love pho noodle soup. I have tried it all over and unfortunately, the soup here is not great. A large order of beef noodle soup was quite small compared to other places within a 20 min drive. Not enough rice noodles, which I find bizarre since its the cheapest part of the soup. The broth was quite plain and bland-it felt like it came out of a can. Very little basil and bean sprouts. It seemed like a cheap, inferior version of something that is not than hard to make pretty decent.. The mango salad was impossible to eat due to spice level and for some reason, there was shriimp in it. Overall, very poor. Just try a few other places within a 20 min drive for comparison.
This is a nice, cozy little restaurant. Their pho is yummmm . Fresh spring rolls and chicken and rice is delicious Comfortable atmosphere. Would recommend. Food
Don t even bother coming to this place my family and I arrived at 8:45 and they told us they were closed. Even tho online and on their door says 10:00pm.
My family and I came in at about 8:45 and they said we are closed but there was people eating and their online profile reads 10pm. They hurried me and suggested take out. Bad service. I do not recommend.
A great meal
Love the pho here! It s a good price and fast service.
This place is so good and tasty i love this place so much
Simple decor, fantastic food We had chicken curry pho and seafood pho. Both were exceptional. Gluten-free options are available. Parking: Free parking available in the mall
First and last time trying this restaurant. Ordered curry chicken on rice I got CHICKEN BONES. My Wife ordered Veg Pho and got BEEF? She s a vegetarian and made sure to call before ordering. Extremely disappointed as I drove 20 min to pick it up.
Dishonest restaurant, ordered a 5 topping rice ends up getting only 3 toppings.
Great place to sit and eat some authentic pho ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The food is quick and amazing. I m Vietnamese myself, and they cook it the most authentic in the area. I went out of my way to write this review because they are always the staple of my day. Had to be said, go eat there!!
Good food, we are there regularly. Fast service. They close early for dine-in so be prepared!
Vegetarian options: Price they charge was too much for just 2pcs of spring rolls and taste was also not that great. It was wastage of money Food
This place is a gem
Amazing Vietnamese food with very kind and helpful staff members. Would highly recommend to anyone in the local area. They do take American Dollars but the change wont be exact.
Delicious food and great ambiance.
Meal was delicious and fresh!! Restaurant was Kid friendly which to any parent to young kids is always appreciated.
Great pho. Quick service.
Surprised that this place got such low reviews , one of the best places I ate pho at. For sure will come there again.
If you just order one item for takeout and pay by cash, you will not get the cash discount. Because you just order 1 item. my family and I have been to there lots of times but we will not go to there anymore. Good luck. To the male server or owner.
Neat place and good food. Try it!
First time we tried. It was amazing..
The menu listed added items but some of them are the same, for example, the brisket is the same as light fat beef...when you asked the waitress why they are the same, she will tell you yes, they named differently on the menu but they are same thats all she told me. The kicken did not cook soft and juicy brisket which is the basics for pho. When you complained its so hard to chew and they were very hard to eat, the waitress in front told you well, its supposed like that because if you cook it too long the thin part will be dry...okay if you dont like it the only way you can do is that next time you only order raw beef. We have been having pho for whole life and this was the first time we heard this kind of story. The other young waitress looked tired and angry. Will not go back unfortunately.
Service was quick! Ordering was easy. Atmosphere was comfy. One of the dishes we ordered was a spicy stir fry and wasnt spicy at all. Meat in the pho noodle soup were over cooked.
Taking cash and do not provide any confirmation or receipt that you paid cash. Money in the pocket, they dont want to pay government taxes.
Happy tummy
PHONOMENAL!!!!! This is the best pho we ve ever had .. the staff is super nice . They consistently continue to wow us . Try the satay beef (106).. one of a kind creamy spicy coconut broth .
My favourite pho place in the world. No joke. My wife and I try many different pho places throughout our travels and honestly nothing compares to this cozy little hole in the wall. The satay beef (#106) is unlike any other weve ever tried. And the rare beef pho broth is extremely flavourful. Everything is always very fresh and portions are plentiful. Can only remark on the pho and satay beef but even since we moved from Oakville we find ourselves driving back regularly to experience our favourite comfort food.
Decent food at a nice little convenient spot.
Wow so fast and hot and yummy
I don t like that young woman here( other man s they are great ) she s attitude talking with me let me feel so uncomfortable, It s rude and she feel annoyed and teared people Impatient. I noticed that wasn t only me mentioned this problem that broken my day s good mood.
I recommend the Satai soup
Was SO GOOD pre covid, I got take out all the time and portions/quality were amazing. Just went for the first time in about 2 years and had to ask for basil. If you know pho you dont pho around like that.
I just ordered a take out of beef noodle soup and they gave me noodles, tripe and soup. This is ridiculous! Instant noodles has more stuffs included than this. I will never come back to this place.
This is Large pho
First time try it.
Had dinner here the other day, very small food portions being dwarfed by the size of the bowls. Vermicelli meats were so small and thin. Reminded me of Zoolanders centre for children. XL Pho swimming in soup with little noodles and meats. Bowl sizes dwarf the food portions. Portion size about half of my previous visit at the end of April 2023. I wont be returning until portions return to similar portions to other Pho restaurants. My stats: 2021 29 visits. 2022 8 visits. 4 visits up to end of April 2023.
When I picked up my order from the store, I was surprised at the much higher price (~$10) than what I had calculated. The individual prices were all $2 higher than whats listed on their online website. I feel that the meals are way overpriced, for the quality and little amount of food that is served. Too bad that I read the review by Andrew S. and others just now - and am surprised that Pho Mama didnt even bother updating their prices OR adjusting their portions until now after so many complaints. Pho had only a few slices of meat, Pad Thai was a bit below average.. I had much better ones even at food courts. The attitude of the manager was also not the best. Probably wont be coming back again
Food was fine and portion size was huge... Had an extensive menu too
Im glad... the hot pho soup i bought that night were for my friends who got sick... they were very thankful for the great food that they had.. i have ordered few time in pho mama and i always loved it...
Wonderful pho!
Arrived with no time as my daughter had school upstairs. My daughter has extreme difficulty not being picky, she has a lot of needs. Everything went so well, and was excellent, service, food quality, timeliness. Two ladies were wonderful and helpful. From outside it looks like a real hole in the wall but inside is roomy enough and very, very well appointed - garnishes, glasses, tableware. Dont know about take-out but highly recommend eating in, and I never give 5.
Delicious food and good service
Recent change in ownership or management. Classic bowl isnt what it used to be. Served lukewarm. Disappointing as this used to be a top spot.
The garlic with vinegar is amazing Love it with Pho!
I ordered from here twice now, mainly for the pho. The broth is tasty and they give you just enough based on the size. Staff are also really friendly.
I always get the rare beef pho and fresh spring rolls and they re always amazing!
Grilled pork was way too burnt, which should not be served to customers, please!
Very poor quality meat, overly salty. Disappointing.
Excellent
Another great pho place in Oakville.
Good portion is small, price is high, taste ok. No mask on waiter if you concerned about it.
Love this place!
A great Pho spot with great options, prices are good and the food is amazing
Great pho soup
Visited 1st time. Loved the food. Staffs are very nice.
Excellent pho.?the broth is perfect. Very good spring rolls and peanut sauce.
A nice comforting vietnamese cuisine offering place. The soup is worth ordering. I dont eat beef but the chicken soup is also worth coming for.
Great choice for a simple quick meal. My wife and I like to bring our two kids here for a quick pho meal when the mood strikes or when time is tight. They are very accommodating for the kids with the kit that they bring out without us asking. We usually just get two bowls of noodle soup and split it with the kids. Oh and the soup is pretty good too!
Always is the best service and delicious food.
Be aware. Vermicelli with two toppings chose shrimp as the second topping and paid an extra three bucks. YOU GET ONE SINGLE SHRIMP. One freaking shrimp for extra three bucks. Not saying the noodles itself doesn t taste good, but be aware. Two years ordering, first time trying the shrimp. This will be my last time visiting. Unbelievable. I wish I can give minus stars.
Poor customer service 0 skills
Bun Bo Hue is awesome, loved it. A great place for a quick meal.
Amaz ing. Service is a bit slow but huge portions.
Went in there 40 mins to close. Owner informed us they were closing at 930. Told her we knew our order and would be out in 20. She told me there would be no table for us, but we could takeout if we liked. 10 people in there at the time between 4 tables. Couldn t believe it, after covid this place would decline us a seat. Told thanks anyway and walked out. Don t go here they don t need your money and don t care for the business. Rudest proprietor ever, won t ever be returning .
If you re hungry then you ll be fine. But if you know good Vietnamese food then don t even bother coming here. Service is subpar with a few waitresses who don t know how to smile or communicate. I smiled at them and cracked a few jokes but it wasn t reciprocated :( Pho broth was awful I couldn t even finish. My wife s vermicelli was just ok, nothing spectacular. It s a miracle they manage to stay in business.
Won t go back again
This is our go to Pho place. I always get either Pho Tai or the pork vermicelli with spring rolls for lunch. They are super fast for take out and are pleasant to deal with. Great food and good service here.
Delicious, best Pho place!
The top G in the game
Always good food and service
Great variety of dishes at a reasonable price. Almost all dishes arrived in a timely fashion. One soup dish was considerable later than the others. Otherwise, it was a good experience.
Good quality and quantity
Randomly changes store hours without any notice. Insanely rude and dismissive. I ve only ordered through Uber in the past and enjoyed the food - one visit to the place in person and they have totally lost me as a customer. Gross.
Didnt want to take reservations for 10. Told us to try back in 3 hours. When we showed up at the restaurant 10 minutes later the place was empty and we sat on separate tables. We just wanted to have a late lunch (2 pm) Food was okay but stingy on the ingredients for the price charged.
Go here!! Busy place but all the food we tried was outstanding!
Very good Pho!
First time here, enjoyed the food, as did my kids. I might try it again with a different dish next time
Customer service was trash, server walks away as Im asking her a question, Never going back to this place
Owesome service
Very impolite and raise voice easily . We walk in at 8:40 , and they didn t let us eat in dining room.
Great pho and their garlic vinegar condiments truly is compliment to their very good pho bun hue. Great combination. The only downside of this place is that still until now they wont accept any form of credit card whatsoever. Cash and debit only !
Tom yum chicken soup was purchased and it looks like the chicken is left over pieces with nerves and very bad quality. We asked for 50%refund(not even 100%) but now we need to return the food in order for them to give us the refund. Who is gonna drive back 20min to get 10-15$ refund? So we did not get any refund. This food is not even for dogs. They also add tip automatically when you purchase online. Avoid this place at all cost! See picture attached
It was fantastic Vegetarian options: Need some veggie options with ko fish sauce options.
I would ve rated minus star if I could. Never come back again.. Awful pho and even worse waiter (the guy with ear stud), I can see his eyes are full of hatred, and even gave me a dirty look.. Don t understand why the owner hired this type of person, and wondering why this restaurant is still staying business
