I recently dined at the Art of Pho and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely amazing—each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The meal was rich and aromatic, and the spring rolls were the perfect balance of freshness and crunch. What truly set this restaurant apart, though, was the staff. They were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Their recommendations were spot on, and it felt like they genuinely cared about our dining experience. Overall, Art of Pho is a gem! I can't wait to return and try more dishes. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Vietnamese cuisine with top-notch service!
This is how authentic Vietnamese food should taste like. There aren’t too many Vietnamese restaurants around this area so I’m thankful to have found this hidden gem. Food is exceptionally tasty and the space is clean.
They serves the best bento box! The food is rich and flavorful, and you can tell the ingredients are always fresh. The noodles, herbs, and meat are all top quality, and everything comes together perfectly in the box. Highly recommend!
This place is very good for a fast food location. Had their lemongrass chicken bento with coconut drink and the serving was just perfect. The presentation for a take out was well thought of and put together. The coconut juice was just ok - maybe because i've had better. Would come back to Oakville place just to eat here. Worth a try if you're in the area.
Food testing wonderful, that’s how will you taste at other outside restaurants, but I don’t really like they use the bag of frozen vegetable,, just don’t like, every vegetable are dehydrated no toughness and crispness.
As an avid Pho and Vietnamese food lover, I got a pork rice dinner, and after the taking off the bones its wasnt propotionate and really small and thin plus overcooked for the amount of rice and salad they provide. It was done very quick as a positive but could have been the issue as well. The rice and meat had a gasoline type after taste but not smell. I did inquire if this was a one-off as it seems the ladies, teenage son who was making it but seemed to look like it was right as per the lady after showing her. I debated on a coke at the counter but decided against it and was still charged and provided, so attention to detail is not there, but since I could have looked when paying, Ill take that one. Well, I mean, it's a mall food option so guess I cant expect too much, but I wanted something fresh and quick and used to love the thai express that used to be there instead. The art of pho may have better options but def need to improve food quality on this staple dish. I may not be back unfortunately but thank you for cooking.
We stopped by the food court for a late lunch on a Saturday. It wasn’t busy, just one person ahead of us. Ordered chicken pho, vegetarian Thai fried rice, and a grilled pork banh mi. The pho came out quickly. The remaining items took an unreasonably long time. We waited over 10 minutes with the pho getting cold, so I told them we’d be back for the rice. The pho was good for food court food. We brought both the rice and sandwich home to eat. The sandwich was only okay. The rice was a disaster. Broken, mushy, and had no flavour. I couldn’t eat more than two bites. Was not worth the 20-minute wait.
I tried the Vietnamese Ice Cappuccino today, yea you heard it right. A Coffee from The Art of Pho while I had other famous options in the mall. Guess what? It's 10 times better than other stores which I usually go 🥹. I'm gonna be honest here. It was 4.99 but it was worth it. I felt like it had more caffeine in it. Like, when you order dark roast or plain old coffee, it doesn't feel strong for me. I always had to add an Espresso shot with my coffees but trust me you don't need that with this one. And the milk had a very good texture to it as well 🖤. Of course, you can make it without milk but I love my coffee that way. Gotta try it out, guys. Plus they have a wide variety of amazing food you could grab but I decided to settle for a coffee today. Also, a mention worth it was the cashier Marsha who was very cheerful and friendly while making and serving the coffee! Thank you Art of Pho!
Very tasty and affordable food court food! Would come again!
Pay $5, get $4 worth of iced coffee I guess never again Food : 1/5
The food wasnt good and the cook was extremely rude. Will never buy from there again. He took 20 minutes to prepare 2 meals.
For the food court, the Vietnamese/Thai choices are delightful. Amazing flavours and a welcoming environment.
Great food and service! Great experience Parking: Good parking Food : 5/5 |
The person working today is nothing but rude. If I was not in a hurry to get out of the mall, I would ve gotten a refund. Food is mediocre at best.
The workers are so kind, understanding, and efficient! Highly recommend buying from here!
The wait is long and the service is poor. I was ignored for 5 mins before they took my order. Then, I waited another 20 mins for two banhi mis, and watched everyone who ordered after me, get their food. Such a shame because the food is good.
They are so nice here and food is delish!
The worst pho noodles Ive ever eaten
Atmosphere in a food court is not a fair item to rate but it was fine. Food was excellent! Service, excellent!
Delicious Pho, l loved the taste of this pho, friendly staff and good services. It is located in a nice environment mall. I would recommend my friend to try this restaurant for sure. Food
I can t say enough about this place! My teenage daughter and her friends raved about it and now I m hooked!! We keep coming back for more! The Banh Mi is a Banger!!
Yuck! Long wait for really fatty inedible chicken and undercooked noodles :( Food
Yummy Vietnamese iced coffee!
As a Vietnamese, I d say the beef pho was decent especially for a food court. I ve had worse at restaurants They also used the best beef balls (IYKYK). Around $12 with tax. The only thing I d suggest is to up the protein ratio. Restaurant pho is about the same price for a bigger bowl. So there should be some incentive for returning customers. I, for one will be coming back if I m in the mood for a quick pho
Food was great! I love the Vietnamese ice cappuccino. Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian pho. Food : 5/5 |
Just tried this place and got 4 Fresh Shrimp Rolls. Was so fresh and perfect. Definitely will go back.
Tasty
Pretty good pho for a location inside a mall! The food was hot and good and the next time Im in Oakville, Im coming here for some pho that hits the spot.
Best Pho around great best staff by farrrrrrrrr !!!
Amazing pho, spring rolls, sandwiches, and more! The iced coffee is the best I ve had anywhere. Even better service. Definitely would recommend to anyone.
this place is so underrated it s so good!! i
The red curry here is amazing, its exactly what youd want out of a comforting bowl that warms you for hours afterwards. Cant recommend this place enough, even the portions are great
Best Pho, Quality is 100%
Love these ladies! Great service and good!
Everything here is 10\10, food, price and service!
Excellent quality and service
The chicken pho here is second to none. It was less than 15 dollars for a large bowl. Service with a smile and a Have a nice day. I would highly recommend! Its inside the mall.
Very good pho.
Amazing food! So authentic and fresh. Service is always fast, very helpful with suggestions and kind. Also professional! Wow. Great place
Chicken Pho is excellent
Tasty bahn mi sandwich! Thx
Its in a mall. I thought, It must be better than Tim Hortons. I accidentally spilled half of my spicy beef soup. Unfortunately, I did not spill all of the tasteless watery mess of an excuse for food. They asked me to leave a review so I did. Youre welcome!
Pretty good for food court food, and came out relatively quickly considering it was grilled fresh. For the price it was a good amount of food. Food was pretty tasty except for the noodles. The vermicelli was somehow undercooked and overcooked, parts were stiff and brittle, other parts were stuck together and crumbling apart. The broth for the Pho is seafood broth with a very shrimpy flavour, which was a little off considering we ordered beef pho.
GLUTEN FREE and tasty
Coming here was fantastic! Anna and her team are soo pleasant! Ill come back again.
My new favourite place to go whenever Im at Oakville Place. Always delicious foods and friendly staff :)
Nice Pho place!
First time getting food court pho! Good value, got a bowl of beef pho for $13. Great broth, and noodles were cooked well. Meatballs were ballin. Beef was a bit thick and hard to bite through, and no bean shoots.
Our fave fast food restaurant at the oakville place! Husband and kid always enjoys the pho, and I love the vermicelli bento box, especially the lemongrass chicken or pork! Love the price, convenience, taste (not oily or weighty, very light meals yet filling!). And options here Coconut water is sweet and tasty and comes with young coconut pulp!
Amazing
Foods was amazing. service was great very friendly ppls
Delicious food, great atmosphere and reasonably priced
Amazing food for the price, definitely recommend to anyone, will definitely go again!!!
very good pho ga
Tried three soups:vegetarian, chicken, spicy beef. Just bland soup that I could have made at home. No lemon grass or basil or whatever other wonderful things they put in real pho. Will not be trying this again.
YUM!
Absolutely great food!! The Pho is exceptionally amazing!!
We ordered the food and it was not only just very artistic but also very tasty. We had called in for a variety of food and each had a varied taste. Quality was top notch. To be honest, it was my first time having the cuisine and it served as a benchmark. The owner was very pleasant and nice, she taught us about the specifics of how exactly it is to be eaten before placing the order. I will definitely recommend it to my friends and order again! :) 10/10 from my end Vegetarian options: Very few restaurants have vegetarian options. This one has the best Taste I ve eaten up till date.
Love this place , great service .
For a fast and amazing customer service this is the SPOT IN THE MALL!! Quick service for fresh food. Soups are tasty Bento box to die for Fresh rolls are like A SALAD TO GO! dont be suprised if you cant finish the food BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!!
Fair prices and tasty food. Love the beef and pork rice with noodles
A hidden jewel in the food court. There is an ambudance of Vietnamese restaurants in Oakville, but what makes this place special is that it is one of two that serve Bahn MI sandwiches. Highly recommend the delicious and chewy pork belly.
Tasty pho and kind service!
I paid for Thai fried rice chicken and beef. They put tofu in my chicken and the meal was dry no extra sauce given in the bag.
Very nice costumer service. Very yummy foods. Very accommodating staff. Vegetarian options: They accomodate your vegetarian diet. Dietary restrictions: They accommodate your dietary restrictions.
I have tried almost everything vegetarian on the menu and it s yummy, flavourful and fresh. I am in love with this place. Heaven for vegetarians Vegetarian options: I have tried almost everything vegetarian on the menu and it s yummy, flavourful and fresh. I am in love with this place. Heaven for vegetarians
I enjoy every meal I order from Art of Pho, as they have variety of meals to choose from to suit your cravings. A must check our food place Vegetarian options: This food place adhere strictly to customer choice of food especially vegetarian Parking: Lot of parking spot around location for east access into the mall
great workers and great food
My Costco boxed pho tastes infinitely better than this. It was tap water, noodles, and bland chicken. No vegetables, basil, or sprouts. No vegetables. It was inedible.
Recommend the beef pho! Amazing broth
Ordered red sauce with shrimp . Delicious. They don t have this option in Burlington unfortunately.
Worst pad thai ever, no flavour at all. They added lots of red peppers and some weird tasting chicken. Couldnt eat, it was so bad, had to toss it.
Highly recommend the chicken noodle soup. Extremely flavorsome and great portion size. Will definitely return to try other items on the menu.
Im not from this part of town. Live in the east end of the GTHA, where there is lots of pho places. So my expectations werent too high when I decided to try. But I have to say that they definitely are pretty good. For a pho place on a food court, it tastes pretty legit. Same as a pho restaurant.
Great mall food court choice!
I wholeheartedly recommend the fresh rolls. Just two rolls are really cheap and really fill you up. They also offer 10% off student discounts!!!
Awful. Chicken is not fresh at all and its hard to chew. The amount of food is literally for kids.
Picked up a kalbi beef banh mi from art of pho. Overall, it was decent. The beef was a bit tough and chewy, the flavour was ok. The bread was pretty good though. Wish they added some cilantro along with the pickled carrots and daikon radish.
very good
Maybe this was just a one-time thing because I refuse to believe that what I got was the proper meal, but I was just here and got the chicken red curry. It was cheap and the service was decent. But the food was INCREDIBLY SALTY. Like salty enough to make me cringe. I couldnt taste anything else but a crazy amount of salt. I had to throw it away. Really disappointing. Definitely would avoid the red curry.
Fantastic pho, excellent service, delicious spring rolls, my daughter and I come here weekly for a bowl of noodles and we love it! Kid-friendliness: They always make a point of being extra kind to my daughter when we order. Such lovely people!
I really love this pho! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! The soup is very rich, the meat is very delicious, and the noodles are very chewy! The most important thing is that the clerk is very, very, very nice! If you dont feel hungry for a day, come and feed me! ! !
I like the pho soup! It s so good. And they also offer students 10%off! Really nice restaurant! Almost go to there once a week!
Thai fried rice! tasty! !
The Pho at this restaurant is quite delicious and the staff is very friendly. I recommend everyone to try it.
Oddly, one of the best meals in the last two weeks. I say that as its in a foodcourt and exceeded my expectations. Wowed by quality, quantity, and flavour profile. Sadly I dont live close.
I got pho (the joy of pho) and banh mi (one lemongrass chicken and one grilled beefsteak) from this restaurant on DoorDash so I can t comment on the service or atmosphere, but the food was great. You shouldn t expect really big portions but it s worth it for the price and quality of the food. I m totally ordering from them again in the future and I d totally recommend this place for most people.
The staff are friendly and very personable. The food is phenomenal, I had their Banh Mi Lemongrass Chicken sandwich which was very delicious!!!
Food
Best healthy Food-Court food you will find anywhere. I highly recommend The Art of Pho!
Really REALLY fast
Worst and most expensive pho I ve ever had in my life
Ive never had a bad experience here - every meal or app I ve had has been great! Affordable and good portions too!
Hello everyone, I want to start off my review with how amazing their service was. I was greeted and the lady asked how my day was. My order went very smoothly I decided to get the Art of Pho #14 today and the soup was so tasty I love it. Definitely coming back
The pho here is super yummy and the chef is super skilled! The lemongrass bahn mi is the best!!!!
My favorite go-to place for pho, bahn mi, and more! The workers are very friendly and always deliver quality meals. Super yummy and fast, definitely a regular now! ^__^
Best chicken pho ever, the deep dried spring roll is also reeeally good!
Amazing staff and customer service!
My Bahn Mi was actually crazy delicious. However it took 20 almost 25 minutes to get it and It felt like it took way too long. 2-3 people who had ordered AFTER me got their orders before I did so it was just kinda weird. I would go again though I hope the service can be just as good as the food
Completely disorganized service and not able to cope up with few orders. People waiting for long periods being frustrated. Mixing orders, wrong items .. it s a mess !
Great food court alternative from the traditional burger/fries selection. Fresh food, good selection of options!
Nice hot fresh soups, noodles and fillings for banh mi sandwiches and bento. Like the variety & Vietnamese coffee
The BESt. Great people easy to talk definitely repeat
Great place, great food.
Great food. Lovely staff!
My family really enjoys the pho at this place. The staff are friendly, and their service is excellent.
Amazing service and food! Owner was so friendly and outgoing. They took the time to explain the menu and made recommendations. I m definitely coming back!
Really nice and amazing service :)
Parking: Mall parking Food
The best sandwich in town, must try Bacon sandwich.
I have the lemongrass chicken bento box within the Bulgari beef sandwich, and they taste delicous; I would definitely come back to this place to order again!
Food is on point. I ordered 2 bento boxes for dinner and love the spring roll and fresh roll comes with them. Friendly staffs.
My favourite place to eat on my break! I like the Banh mi and Vietnamese coffee! Awesome service and delicious food :) thanks guys!
I was very happy with the food and service
Great food! The grilled chicken with vermicelli was absolutely amazing. Spring rolls are very fresh. Will go again soon!
After hearing about this new addition to the Oakville Place food court last month, I finally made my way there today. Let me just say, I wish I wouldve gone sooner! The experience from beginning to end was fantastic, starting with a warm welcome from the man behind the counter. Upon ordering, he complimented me on my selections, stating great choices! You mustve been here before! I got the restaurants namesake dish, the Joy of Pho soup bowl. The broth was rich and flavourful, and hot enough to cook the raw beef (packaged separately to keep it from getting all over the rest of the toppings) even after the drive home. The portion of noodles was very generous, and the bag included the classic dipping sauce of hoisin mixed with sriracha. If I had any feedback to offer, it felt a little light on meat (although it seemed fair for the price point); I didnt notice/taste any basil in the toppings; and I personally wouldve preferred the cold toppings (especially the bean sprouts) to be packed separately so they dont start cooking while sitting on the noodles. That being said, all in all it was a great bowl of pho, served quickly and at a fair price. For these reasons, if I were reviewing the pho alone, Id probably give a 4 star. But I have to say, the real standout for me, and what pushed me back to a 5, was the pork belly bahn mi. It was simple (as a bahn mi should be) but oh-so flavourful! The portion of pork was perfect, the bun was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the sauce was tangy and delicious. One of the big problems I often have with a sandwich like this is that the ratio of vegetables to meat or bread often seems to be so off-balance that all you taste is the carrots and cucumber. Not so with this one! A perfect amount to add a nice fresh crunch without overtaking the star of the show. And again Ill say, the price point felt very fair, costing maybe a couple bucks more than a Tim Hortons sandwich, but with exponentially more flavour and quality. I will gladly be adding the pork belly bahn mi at The Joy of Pho to my go-to lunch rotation, and I know this will be a great place to return the next time Im craving a hearty, comforting bowl of pho!
Restaurant quality food and great service
Oh my gosh this place is amazing! Loved the positive energy and the service from the team members. The food was so delicious - we can t wait to go back. It s a must have.
I work in the mall and don t always bring my lunch. I love their salmon bento box always made fresh and just right. Very filling and has me covered so that when I go home I can just have a light supper. And their service is always friendly and outstanding. Highly recommend
We all enjoyed the cold rolls and spring rolls ! My new favourite for these ! Absolutely delicious! Craving for them already !
Ordered the fried rice, spring rolls, lemongrass banh mi and the lemongrass vermecelli and it was so delicious. Food was prepared quickly and was fresh. Coming back here everytime I m in the area!
Customer service was wonderful and very friendly! I tried the bento box for the first time and loved it. Will definitely be going back! Thank you :)
Food was fresh, tasted so good! We ended up ordering more to take home! We ordered banh mis and some fresh fruit smoothies! Service was friendly & quick! Overall would 100% recommend!!
Just ordered the Banh mi pork belly and let me tell you... .. Definitely excited they opening a location at Brampton at BCC. I love the fact the banh mi was served and made fresh.
This store is really good. I got recommended by Kiet for the bento box
I have tried the banh mi here, it was delicious. Thanks to Kiet for recommending this store
I absolutely love the coffee and all the staffs at the joy of pho, it s my first time trying Vietnamese cuisine so I had no idea at first, but thanks to the cashier guy who helped me figuring out which is the pad Thai
Satisfied with the service
Just ate here. Excellent pho. Noodles were cooked perfectly.
They need to open up more of this. 10/10
Was looking forward to trying it and I was let down twice, first sandwich had a bone in it, changed it and the second one was cold. If you cant get a sandwich right you wont last long.
Delicious first experience! Will definitely be back!
Delicious food and great service. Will definitely be back.
went there a couple times the past month and each time was delicious. the banh mi was my favourite but the pad thai was great too. would really recommend the lemongrass pork banh mi!
Authentic Thai food with Thai chefs. Loved the green curry, beef bulgogi and the pork belly. Friendly staff.
Had the bulgogi beef and the green curry and the vermicelli lemongrass chicken what an amazing authentic food a 100% recommend this place ! Delicious food !
Fantastic
First time trying Joy of Pho today and it was absolutely incredible! Restaurant style food and at a wonderful price. I ordered the Bento Box with the beef ribs - outstandingly delicious. The shop owner of this place is very kind and helped me choose what to eat - thank you! I also tried the Vietnamese coffee and wow! Best coffee I ve had in months, it was amazing. Thanks so much!
MMMM! SO GOOD! The food here is made with LOVE. I am being so honest. Ive eaten from here on three seperate occasions. Its flavourful, served HOT AND FRESH. Theres so many dishes on the menu to choose from. You will want to taste them all. I really enjoyed The Thai Fried Rice. I got mine with Shrimp. It was very tasty and the pineapple was a perfcet addition. Joy of Pho has great servings... all at a great price. Hands down the best food inside Oakville Place. Also The customer service is stellar. I am definitely coming back. <3
Friendly staff & great fresh food at a reasonable price:)
Joy of Pho LITERALLY brought joy to my pho experience. I wanted some hot soup and stumbled upon this Pho place in the mall. My expectations weren t high as it s a food court place, and I m from the west coast, so my expectations of Pho is very high. But to my surprise this is actually a very authentic pho place! Not only was the food great but amazing service. Highly recommend!!! I ordered the Joy of Pho and it was cooked to perfection the meat was fresh and of good quality and the soup was rich. Again, not your average food court food. Amazing place and will definitely visit again!
Its healthy, and they give big portions for a food court place. I had the Joy of Pho soup, no sauce. PROS: Meat was fresh. Noodles were well cooked. Good meat to noodle ratio. CONS: Broth was bland, while the Broth was clear, it barely had enough taste on its own, and when combined with noodles/beef, the Broth tasted like water(in comparison). Also, there was not enough cilantro, and way too much onion leek. The leeks were half chopped and half were unchopped. As a food court place, its a good value- its healthy, filling, and competitive in price to other Asian food court stalls. 4/5 if comparing to food court standards. However, compared to other dedicated pho places, the pho is lacking, especially for the price. If comparing to other dedicated pho places, its a 2.5/5. Given that I came here looking for the pho, I scored 3/5 on Google. I added +0.5 for the fact that it IS a food court establishment. The 3/5 score doesnt mean this place is bad- should I be shopping at this mall, The Joy of Pho will likely be a first pick. Rather, The Joy of Pho is not a good enough substitute for other dedicated Vietnamese Pho restaurants.
It is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Friendly staff, exellent service and delicious dishes. Huge variety of food to choose from. I highly recommend this place
Very friendly staff and great service. There are a lot of options for vegetarians and its great to see how accommodating they are to your dietary needs. Food was fresh and tasty.
Guys here are excellent. Alqays quick, easy to order and the portions are excellent. Definitely come here whenever you get the chance
Amazing! Large portion and fresh ingredients. Quality food, quite surprising from a food court restaurant! Can t wait to go back and try another dish!
I really like the bento box. There s so much food in it! It was a great way to try out both spring rolls. I also liked the pad thai and the Vietnamese Coffee!
Very good place
DELICIOUS FOOD and so eager to satisfy! Im a vegitarian and the team were happy to make adjustments to just to satisfy my wishes! Everything was incredibly fresh - yum! A real joy to eat at Phos. Ill be looking for Phos at other locations in the future. Thanks!
Got the salmon bento salmon was crispy fresh salad very good.
Horrible taste, already bad sour beef balls, soup does not taste right, came here because of the 4.7 star review, total disappointment - don t be swayed by fake review ratings. Could not finished at all.
I have been here twice with my daughter and we love it! The staff are attentive and kind and the prices are great. The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh. My favourite appetizer by far is the lemongrass pork salad rolls. I highly recommend this place.
Not often that I bother to review a place at a food court, but this is definitely worth a mention. The lemongrass bento box was fantastic, lots of food and lots of variety, delicious, hot, fast, and very reasonably priced. Even the service was great. Highly recommended.
I highly recommend the food. The food is fresh, reasonably priced and the portions are great. Finally have something worth eating in the food court.
I was pleasantly surprised at this restaurant in the food court at Oakville place. I ordered their signature dish The Art of Pho . It only came in one size and the portion was fair. The broth was okay, I would rate it a 7.5 out of 10. Perhaps I am more critical cause I eat Pho so frequently in many different restaurants.
Had the bulgogi banh mi. Meat was awful and chewy and because of that it wasn t very filling. For 9.50 you can do better within the mall. Disappointing!
Ordered delivery - I got the bulgogi beef Bento box. The most flavourful item was the spring roll which says something. The beef was very chewy and mostly inedible which is dissapointing. I also added on the salmon which was fine although dry. I ordered the fresh roll with pork and again, very minimal flavour. It could be that I just dont enjoy Thai food very much but I found this meal lacked flavour all around.
Surprised by how authentic this place is for being in a food court. Yes I am Vietnamese as well. Definitely coming back for my pho cravings.
Take forever to order the food and missed my order. It take them 30 mins to make my vegetarian bento. The staff are very rude after missing part of my order and dont feel sorry about it.
The Banh Mi was so good I had beef!
I dont know how busy you are,i ordered uber eat: a pho and 4 rolls, the grill porks so salty and i dont have any sauce for the roll.
Excellent tastes. Fast services. Aceptable prices
Had a Salmon Bento Box, the salmon was frozen solid in the middle. Badly prepared and over priced food. NEVER AGAIN.
Got the salmon bento box hard as a rock never again.
Fantatis food and very good menu.
