Always have the freshest food here, friendly and attentive staff. Clean washroom and ample parking. We always order the same pho and fried spring rolls and will never ever gets tired of devouring them
The food was served fresh and tasted good. It was on the pricier side. I ordered the rice and grilled chicken dish, which typically comes with broken rice, pickled + fresh veggies and fried egg. But disappointed that I had to buy add-ons for the egg and soup, and the rice was just plain white rice. I guess I'm just so used to having the egg and broken rice come with it alongside the soup.
This is a must-go place if you want to get some hot noodle soup in Pickering. Sabrina was truly amazing and offered lots of patience and help. The food is delicious and the portion is generous. The price was good too!
I ordered the Pork chops and beef on rice. I also ordered the deep fried squid tentacles. My second time here and I’m never disappointed. The staff is always friendly and attends to the table regularly. The pork chops were seasoned really good and had a lot of flavour. The beef was tasty as well. I love squid tentacles! I drizzled mine with hot sauce and ended up eating all to myself. Seasoned well and tasted good. I would definitely go back
First off, let me say that the service was incredible! We came in as a large and annoying group of like 35 people around 2pm 💀 but the staff were still courteous and very accommodating. Our orders were taken promptly, we were served quickly too, and tea was refilled often! As for the food, we found the pho to be good but the curries are a little too acidic/sour. The vermicelli dishes could also use a bit more flavour. I may be nitpicking but the prices here are higher than other Vietnamese restaurants, so I think these recipe tweaks are worth mentioning. I would have normally given 4 stars for the food/price but the attentive and amazing service got me to bump it up to 5! :)
*Edit to say: Thank you for your generous offer Stephanie, but I feel it was my fault, and so I'm declining. I will be back to try again another time. Have a wonderful day! My first time eating Vietnamese food. My friend's brisket Pho looked delicious, large serving, lots of noodles. Staff suggested I get the spicy Chicken Curry instead of the mild that I initially ordered. It was much too hot for me and therefore I only ate a couple of bites. The spring rolls were fresh and were served with a tasty dipping sauce.
First time here . Great place to have a warm soup on a cold day . Food did take a abit long to come out . but over all the soup was delicious. We ordered the extra large souphouse special which was $18+ noodles could have been more . But good to share . Will be back to try some other dishes.
Came here a few times now and it usually is not busy at all. I really liked my bowl of rare beef and beef ball pho. Personally no major complaints from me but our friend was unpleasantly surprised when the coffee they ordered came pre-made instead of having the drip pot at our table.
Always great food and great service!
Its white washed pho, but its only pho in pickering.
Great spot for pho in Pickering :)
The Pho was OK Spring roll was good Food
absolute gem....get the house special pho and make sure to order the chicken wings with the spicy satay sauce AND the regular satay sauce....soo soo good
Eat here all the time!!! Amazing
Always 100
Perfect every time. Been eating here for over 10 years. Consistently hot fresh and always delicious. Such hard working staff too. Big thumbs up!! Food
Always excellent, servers are always friendly. Food comes VERY quickly
Really love the pho here, one of my favourite places. Its usually not too busy so thats also nice if you want a quiet place to eat. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options available. Kid-friendliness: Theyre really sweet with children, although no dedicated kid menu. But we usually just split a meal or share with them.
good food, except I hate that they serve tea in a plastic cup now. It use to be one of my favourite things, but they ruined it. Poor decision.
Probably the best Pho/Vietnamese place in Durham. Don t go anywhere else; we have and nothing compares. The rare beef pho and the curry dishes are what you can expect from downtown spots. The service is also great with the two ladies who I often see working there. They are attentive without too much unnecessary interruptions. The food in general is also very consistent after about 5+ visits. Highly recommended.
Great place for vietnamese food. Tried the curry chicken. Really good. I will have to try the very spicy version next time. Vegetarian options: Good variety of vegetarian options
Great flavors but expensive.
The person that was serving is was very generous and kind. She was very helpful and friendly. We got the house special and it was amazing like always.
0 STARS! I ordered chicken vermicelli, 20 minutes later I was vomiting and having diarrhea for two days! Every hour. I went to the hospital and stated I had food poisoning! NEVER COMING BACK!! Food
Please make the broth less salty use bone not salt and water and the tendon should be chewy not soft if you re wondering why I said this go check out linh anh Vietnamese cuisine bone marrow pho it is mind blowing
Excellent tom yum soup! Great service! Will definitely return!
My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Durham Region! A must try : Pho Noodle soup- rare beef and the Thai spring rolls!!! The staff is always friendly and attentive. I always leave full and satisfied.
Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and friendly service. It s our go to spot for pho. The Thai Special Noodle soup is to die for. The portions are generous and the ingredients are fresh. Highly recommended
Very welcoming place. Been to a lot of viet restaurants but this one by far is the best. Very polite and attentive server (Stephanie), got what we ordered correctly. The place was clean and the atmosphere is relaxing. Highly recommend.
Yummy food, great service, and so clean inside this restaurant!
Sabrina was amazing!
My fav spot for pho in durham. Theeee best spring rolls too!
Very polite , very clean inside. Food is amazing.
Strong odor of human feces when you enter , then a rude waitress asks my child to throw out his milkshake on a hot day or to leave .... we left ... place was dirty and empty maybe laundering money.
Pho Saigon is my go-to spot for authentic Vietnamese cuisine! Every time I visit, Im greeted with warm hospitality and served delicious, flavourful dishes that never disappoint. Sham was a great server both friendly and courteous. Their pho is simply outstanding, with amazing broth and tender meat. The menu offers a variety of options beyond pho. When youre craving authentic Vietnamese food Pho Saigon is a must-visit. Highly recommended!!
Delicious Pho! Delicious food! Excellent experience! Great service! Well priced! Organized and Clean! Will most definitely return! Kid-friendliness: My 4 year old daughter enjoyed the food and the experience! Great service!
Pho is fantastic. Tom yum perfect!! Staff very quick and helpful. Best pho in pickering!!!!
Amazing customer service!
I ordered the exact order as my friend, mine came with less toppings and I had to wait 15 mins more for my food
It s the best
Delicious food, quick service and friendly staff
Food, background music, service, all good. Doing good business on a holiday. Excellent that they didnt use a plastic to go container for extra soup - environmentally conscious. Silverware was super clean & shiny. Ill be back.
I go to the one in pickering with my girlfriend a lot, and we love it. Amazing service is always greeted with the best service. The Pho is amazing the grilled chicken is perfect i love this place would recommend to everyone
Great place for pho! I highly recommend grilled beef pho.
Excellent and above and beyond customer service. Very friendly and helpful! Food is great and prices are fair! We ordered the House Special Pho Noodle Soup. It came with lots of sliced beef, tripe, and beef balls .... Etc. Big portion. Plenty of parking
My daughter had her volleyball team s team building dinner here, and within the first half hour she texted me about how much she loved her dish! Owners are fabulous!!!
Friendly staff, excellent food and a an amazing atmosphere. Recommend to everyone!
Pho Saigon is by far the best restaurant to eat at if you are feeling for Pho. Food is always fresh, and of the best quality. This place is really the go to restaurant.
Great food. Great service. Definitely recommend!
Great service!
Very good food. Amazing service. Even better experience!
Great menu selection! Excellent customer service from staff. I enjoy dining at this authentic restaurant.
We visited for the first time this evening. Amazing food and wonderful service. We will definitely be back!
Ive been coming here for years! Service is quite quick Pho and Porkchops are 10/10 and after the recent fixing of waterstains and addition of some paintings and etc the interior is like a whole new world!
Friendly staff/owner good food
Pho Saigon is my favorite pho spot in the GTA. My girlfriend and I dine in frequently and we are always recognized by the staff. The broth is amazing and they are very generous with their portions. I really enjoy coming here as often as I can. I would recommend pho Saigon to anyone looking for a cozy and authentic experience.
Great place to have a nice and warm pho , food is great and if you love pho ull definitely enjoy this place. Clean and fresh ingredients.
I enjoyed this establishment very much. The only downside was there was no paper towels in the bathroom. And the hand dryer was very weak pressure. So I had to dry my hands on my pants. Other than that. It s amazing. I can t believe this used to be a Harvey s long ago!!! P.S the ice coffee is delicious Namaste. Vegetarian options:
New to the area so decided to pop in and try some pho. I was greeted by kind service as I entered. Had #1 house special and some fried spring rolls. Great broth, yummy food will be my go to viet place in pickering now
Love this place!
Pho was great, but nothing that stood out compared to most other places. Restaurant overall looked really nice, good atmosphere. Service was quick and straightforward.
My family and I are avid Pho consumers. I ve eaten at many pho joints from Ajax to Mississauga. If I had to choose the worst pho I ve ever had, it would be here. I also ordered about 60$ worth of food and was a little startled when I asked for one straw for my 3 year old sons water, and was told I needed to purchase a pop in order to get a straw. First and last time here. Both other pho places in ajax are far better just a short drive up the road and with far better service as well.
Best pho ever! Will definitely be back.
Rare beef Pho was Amazing... service was fast! People were friendly.... definitely comming back.
Best place in Durham for Pho and various other Vietnamese dishes! Locally owned & cozy.
The last time I was at this restaurant was probably around 2015 - 2016. At that time, it was delicious. I went back after many years and this year, in 2024, I would say that the taste of food has been severely compromised. CONS: BLAND FOOD, LOST VIETNAMESE AUTHENTICITY: I dont know what happened but I had the blandest pho broth soup that was not even piping hot. We got there as the first customer in upon opening and perhaps it was broth that was reheated but it was not hot and steaming. Worst of all : It lacked the authentic flavour let alone salt. It was very bland. It was missing the flavours of star anise, cinnamon, white pepper, salt, green onions and coriander underlying base to all pho broths. I am not even sure if beef bones were boiled for hours to have that special oomph in authentic pho broths. It was honestly watered down beef broth from a bouillon cube with very little salt. The restaurant also lacked the smell of fish sauce which is an essential authentic ingredient to Vietnamese cooking. I dont know what happened to this place but the food was SOOOOOO bland. I couldnt eat it bc along with the noodles, the blandness became more pronounced of course. PROS: NICEST, MOST COURTEOUS STAFF: I believe that the daughters or nieces are family members and they seem so nice. The server was very apologetic and suggested many other options. I declined and said that its ok. She was very kind, friendly and understanding. The greeters and other staff are also very sweet and kind.
Great place for Pho. Great quality and menu variety
The best. Taste, quality, speed and service never disappoint. My wife and I have pretty much 2 items we go back and forth between (and we customize them to our taste). Thev recognize from the moment we walk in and are the most accommodating always. A Pickering staple and we never want to see this one go. Support local businesses!
Go to pho place - so fast, friendly, cheap and delicious! Vegetarian options: There are 3 or so different pho for vegetarians, a mushroom broth with tofu, a tom yum and a spicy one. All are so good. Also some nice appetizers/rolls. Parking: easy to park here, big parking lot, never have an issue
I got the pho special, tasted bland, not enough salt or flavour but the portions were massive so theres that Maybe cut down on portion and add more flavour
Food is good but customer service is horrible. Two people ordered soup and we got one! Nobody notified us of this or offered us a replacement.. and they blamed skip. Skip should have also notified us.. but it s your restaurant and your customers.. don t pass the buck! Put the effort in. I would never leave my customers hanging like that. There should be some factor of caring that the people ordering on the other end don t get half their meal. Way to go Pho Saigon.
Fruit flies all over the place, had to cover our food with napkins and the taste was just medicore. Chicken spring rolls were basically vegetable spring rolls with no chicken. I wouldnt visit here again.
Pho is horrible. Price is too high. The meat in the pho was gross
probably the best place to eat in town
Great food every time Parking: Parking directly in front
After a long trip snowmobiling, this place did not disappoint. The pho broth was clean, warm and healing!! The service was awesome too
Ask for the chili pepper!!! My husband ordered the large house special.
Its pretty good here now
Its been quite a while since Ive been to Pho Saigon, even though theyre in my neighbourhood. I dropped in for dinner recently, with a friend. She had a vermicelli dish with beef and I had a large beef pho. The pho broth was very flavourful and plentiful, more than enough for my friend to have some. The vermicelli dish was also enough for her to take some to work for lunch the next day. The restaurant was clean, with lots of spacing between the tables. The service was also quite efficient, with food arriving fairly quickly. I had forgotten how good their food was but Ill be back to enjoy more of it!
We would have given a negative star if there is a choice!!! Horrible customer services, does not allow you to share your food with your kids!!! What kind of a business is this! We just happen to be in the neighborhood and stopped for a quick light bite before heading to a dinner party later which my kids might not like eating. I just wanted to order an extra large pho for them and the server said we cant share food! Wow, what did I just hear?! Never have I ever been told by any other restaurants that I cant share my purchased food! What kind of a policy is that? Many time in other places, my 3 little girls cant even finish a small bowl of pho let along an extra large one!!! I would have ordered more food had they not mentioned TWICE about not being able to share food! Needless to say, we just walk out of there...wow, what the quickest way to lose customers!!! We ended up going to Pho Mono in AJAX instead, and they gave no pressure in what we have to order. Great customer services and great food too there! Their Extra large Pho is even $4 less than Pho Saigon! We ended up ordering close to $100 worth of food and a BIG Tips just because we liked how they treated customers. DO NOT GO TO PHO SAIGON IN PICKERING! I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS!!!!
The food here was incredible. I had the vermicelli with spring roll and pork and I was not disappointed. The house fish sauce went well with all the fresh veggies. I shared some of the house special Pho and I was really impressed with the broth as well. The staff is extremely friendly and the food was quick, fresh, and delicious. I will be coming back.
the pho was great, service was nice
Amazing food
I love Pho Saigon. I go there with my kids. We do take out often. I came to eating Vietnamese food through my friends. I love it. I invited a friend and we ordered seafood Red Curry Soup Also ordered Rice, Chicken and beef Also we ordered vegetable and coconut soup. It was very good time. Food , friendship and fellowship. To be continued...
Love their soup. Mainly I go here cause they have rice noodle (gluten-free). The ingredients are fresh. I like that there is room to move around. Some restaurants you re packed like sardines. Good prices too. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options like rice noodle
Excellent atmosphere and food. Please note however that their prices have increased from whats displayed on google as its very much outdated. Perhaps look at updating the profile to better inform new customers of what is on offer and for how much. Parking: Free parking in the stripmall
Have order food from here for years especially the Red Thai Curry. Have always love the flavour and received a good quantity of food. However was extremely disappointed with the quantity of the Thai Curry this time (shown in the picture). There was less than half a container of curry for $16
not worth my money. I had gotten the house special - taste wise was okay. Halfway during my meal I found a piece of hair in the tendon. They replaced my meal (which I appreciate), but I couldn t finish it since I was full from the original bowl - I wanted to bring home the left overs. I go up and pay but come back to my table with the food that I paid for thrown out. That s what upset me the most. What a waste of food and makes me question why I paid
We were there yesterday. Food was great, the service. Not so much. It was the first time Ive ever been in a pho restaurant,were they dont have a big laddle for soup if youre sharing a big bowl with family or friends. Kinda odd tbh, and we had to ask for a scissors too.
Ph lacks the aroma and pho flavor. Bún Bò Hu tastes more like Bún Riêu broth. Friendly service and clean restaurant. I would come back if the dishes were more authentic. :(
Excellent Pho and service! They were even able to make something not on the menu for us. Will definitely return.
Spacious restaurant with a broad menu of Vietnamese cuisine. This was our first visit and we tried a number of dishes including the house special pho, a rice and meat dish and a vermicelli bowl. Each of these entrees were fresh and great tasting. We also tried the fried tofu and Thai spring rolls. Our kids enjoyed both of these, though we substituted the peanut sauce for fish sauce due to allergies. The servers were pleasant and food came out fairly quickly. Well definitely be back.
They have lot of vegetarian options which is my fav part. Ambience is good for a pho place. Their pho for a rainy evening is bliss! Pricey for a pho around 17$. Food : 4/5 |
Bad customer service and rude host, have ordered here for years and have never encountered such a rude host. Will never be coming back here again. I ordered by phone, and referred to the skip the dishes menu to order because that was the only menu which appeared in search results. When I picked up my order I noticed a discrepancy in the price. The host proceeded to be very rude to me saying I was referring to the wrong menu, and that I must scan the QR code in the restaurant for their correct menu. Excuse me? But I am not driving to the restaurant to scan a QR code for a pickup order. The point is, there should not be a discrepancy in their menu and the skip menu. However, the host proceeded to argue with me, being very rude and condescending as if I was wrong. The proof is in the damn menu. Sorry but if you are going to work with skip the dishes, please update your menu or consider hiring an SEO expert if you want your site visible in search results, because the skip menu is the first site that shows up. They need to take accountability and admit they are wrong, instead of blaming the customer. Please so a better job or you will lose more customers. I have never experienced such rudeness from a host at a restaurant and bad customer service, and I have been coming here for over 10 years. One bad experience ruins it, I will not be coming back. Negative ZERO stars!!!
Staff is so nice and the food is good. One of the best Pho spots in Pickering.
I loved this place. Ive been going since I was a kid, but now the quality of the appetizers have diminished a lot. Their fried spring rolls have shrunk and they dont even come close to giving a plate full of squid tentacles. The soup is still good though. Rice dishes are a hit or miss.
Food portions have shrunk a bit, and place needs a update / refresh, and they seriously need to fix the washroom as there is only one stall working out of 2 washroom
Surprised there weren t many other pho places in Pickering so had to come check this out and now I come all the time. I always order the large Rare Beef and Brisket pho which is really good. I tried the fried spring rolls last time and those are worth getting if you want to add something.
Been here plenty and service is always very attentive, always fast and efficient. Food here is decent - pho is always served very hot with good flavour, their other dishes are always spot on as well. The garnishings that come with the pho - mint and sprouts are always fresh. Washroom always clean and so is the restaurant. Only thing I would say is too bad theres only 1 bathroom and seems it can be used by anyone with 2 stalls if youre okay with that.
I used to frequent Pho Saigon regularly, both for dining in and placing takeout orders with delivery service. I observed that the dining-in experience consistently went smoothly, likely due to the face-to-face interactions with the staff. However, a noticeable contrast arose when I placed orders for delivery over the phone a series of unfortunate issues ensued. What struck me was the staffs attitude in handling these problems; they exhibited rudeness and an unwillingness to rectify the issues, often without even extending a simple apology. Initially, I assumed these incidents were isolated cases, but my optimism waned after subsequent attempts. On two separate occasions after, we encountered a string of problems with our orders, leaving us greatly dissatisfied. Regrettably, this continuous stream of issues led us to the conclusion that it was best to discontinue ordering from Pho Saigon. I find myself wishing I could describe this establishment as hit-or-miss in terms of both food quality and service, but truthfully, it appears theyve fallen short on multiple occasions.
Try their spring rolls and vermicelli dishes!
Best food very clean excellent service very nice and friendly. Whenever I go to Toronto I go to this place because the food is very delicious I suggest everyone should try there vegetarian soup and mango salad
The service was great. Food came quickly and tasted great.
Authentic Vietnamese Pho food, prices are competitive and not outrageous. Their spring rolls are amazing. Friendly staff willing to help.
food is amazing but portions are a little small .
Food is good price could be better
A lot of parking space! But food are Very pricy compared with other pho stores! No recommend this store!
fave Pho spot
This is our favourite lunch spot - the food is delicious and the staff are lovely!
Great vegetarian Pho!
Amazing place to eat for a winter day!
Food was good and plentiful, however, in my opinion, overpriced. Vegetarian options: Thai food... Dietary restrictions: Beware of peanuts Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly food Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level entry
the staff on shift , younger and taller than the other one refused to give me spoon and fork even if i actually got up from my seat to ask for one. She said they only give the spoon and fork w/ knife for rice dishes. I told her my order is rice with curry. She asked me to use the plastic/melamine spoon used for soup. why does she have to argue with the customer for a spoon and fork? why can t she just give the spoon and fork? when she gave the spoon and fork, she had a comment you just have to ask! ah hello?! i just got up from my seat to ask for one. and only if she is listening to what the customer wants. POOR CUSTOMER service is what we experienced here today.
Best pho in the east end
Great soups
Amazing food! You must try the Vermicelli with beef, add soy sauce and hot chili sauce and you got a 10 out of 10 dish. The staff is so helpful and kind. Weve been going to the scarborough location for more than a decade and here you get the same experience, some of that staff is here too. We will definitely be coming back!
The food is absolutely delicious, but the portions are very disappointing for the price you pay. If the portions were better I would return way more frequently.
This has nice fresh rolls. This was the first pho place in Pickering. Great for work lunches. Tables can accommodate larger groups.
I had tried to call to place an order tonight and no one picked up. I understood it was Valentines and they were probably busy. I drove.to the restaurant to place my order and mentioned how I had tried to call and just was making friendly conversation about how they must be busy. The woman at the front was so rude and aburptly and with attitude cuts me off to point at the phone and says as you can see the phones right here and there only one of me and one of her( pointing at her colleague. I was annoyed she talked to me that way but still placed my order. Went to my car and realized I didnt deserve to be spoken to in such a condescending tone. Went back to cancel my order. I can spend my $80 order on another business
Amazing!! Great service, food and price. I couldnt decide where to eat but was so glad I chose here in the end
The spring rolls here are the best Ive ever had and the pho is delicious and filling. Sabrina remembered our order and was so attentive despite the restaurant being very busy. Weve been here many, many times and dont see that changing any time soon. Thank you guys!
Tried it in a whim since my regular place is closed on mondays. This may be my new place bigger portions of meat and noodles compared to my regular place and a few $ cheaper!
Great service and food are not to grease. Good for people who wants good taste and healthy.
Staff is rude.. Food takes forever and the food quality is poor. Do yourself a favour and save your money. These guys dont deserve it.
Foods always great everytime Ive been with my partner whom showed me this place. Would l recommend
Delicious food and such wonderful staff ! The Thai chicken spring rolls are a must try item - try them, you won t be disappointed !
Best service ! BEST FOOD IN PICKERING
An easy 5 star review. The food is great and the customer service is great. They are so personable, friendly and accomodating. My personal favs are the fresh rolls and veggie soup (mushroom broth and tofu) and the shrimp and pork spring rolls. If youre looking for a great place to eat in Durham, this is it. My husband & I and friends eat here nearly once a week and have 0 complaints.
Fantastic pho
Delicious broth, not too salty. Food is authentic and spring rolls are SO good. Had the fresh spring rolls with Shrimp with the peanut sauce. Never disappoints. ND loads fast friendly service.
Tasted food
This is my favourite place to get pho in Durham Region and definitely should be rated higher! I usually get an XL house special to go. The portioning is great, and can feed two people with left overs. I am also a fan of their broth which keeps me coming back here over other Vietnamese restaurants in the area.
Probably the worst pho I ever had.. everything was plain.. nice people tho
Great place for Viet eats! Pictured is the vermicelli with beef and a spring roll. Spring roll was delicious and so was the rest of the dish. Had the Vietnamese coffee and thought it was great! No complaints about this place - great customer service and food came out quickly.
Awful quality. They fry everything in the same vat as it all has that fish taste. Very greasy spring rolls. Everything tastee but not fresh.
good food and well priced
Had the chicken curry soup with noodles yesterday for the first time even though I go here often. It was amazing, just like everything else Ive had. Clean, polite environment.
Lovely food. We eat there from time to time and we never have been disappointed so far. Their coconut tom yum soup is just awesome! A must try Vegetarian options: Nice vegetarian options for different dishes.
DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE - I recently placed an order on SKIP THE DISHES and on the app specified I wanted soya sauce in the selection menu, as per a peanut allergy that I have. Instead I received satay sauce which contains peanuts. I attempted to contact the restaurant immediately but NEVER picks up the phone. I then went through Skip who said they would try to get in contact with them. The restaurant said they would contact me within the hour to clarify if this was an entry error or if in fact that satay sauce was used instead. 3 HOURS LATER AND NO RESPONSE. I could not visit the restaurant in person, as myself and family were down with Covid. I attempted to contact Skip again who has been informed by this restaurant that they did use satay sauce. THEY DID NOT FEEL THE NEED TO CALL ME AND LET ME KNOW AFTER STATING NUMEROUS TIMES THAT I AM LOOKING TO BE CONTACTED ASAP. Do yourself a favour and never order from here.
If youre looking for this type of food the best place to go is not here. Check out my photo for a much better place I discovered much better flavour and price. Not the best if youre trying to impress anyone. Their store hours are not consistent in what they advertise and what they really have planned so if you look on the Internet and they say theyre open dont drive there make sure phone, except they dont always answer the phone. If you complain about the hours theyll tell you just not to go there anymore. I think their business is bad and theyre very stressed. I have eaten at that restaurant many times in the last 8 years the last few times I went with other people and it was advertised open and it was closed. If you complain about anything they go from really nice people to horrible people and they Well tell you dont come back if you dont like it. They dont have to tell you that because I would never go back and I would never recommend anyone to go there. Read the other notes about inconsistent hours and youll see how they run the business. If they cant keep something simple like their hours how Can they maintain other things You dont see.
Not clean , bathrooms horrible, poor service and over priced. Advertised hours are not correct. Call cz they may be closed but internet says open.
Has now been out go to Pho place...nice portions and great attentive service!
Coming from the West Coast it took us a couple years to find this place and it is hands down one of the best Vietnamese restaurants around. We have trying at least 20 some different Vietnamese restaurants and this is our go to. We live in Oshawa and drive to Pickering just for Pho Saigon. The owner and staff are awesome, super friendly and aiming to please. The food is amazing and portions are more than enough. Definitely a must try and you wont be disappointed.
I love their Phos and grilled meats
The foods come out fast. Taste wonderful, warm dishes keep soup and rice hot for a long time. Nice and friendly services. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to my family and friends. Also very clean!
The food was tsaty, specious and services were nice too.
Restaurant is spacious and clean, acceptable service, order spring roll which taste ok, beef noodle taste normal but the soup makes me a bit thirsty. Food portion is good. Overall rating is average
Frendly service, clean, big portions.
Food & service are always great. Affordable pricing & good value. Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options available Parking: Plenty of parking
Still decent food, but rice dish portions getting smaller than what I remember.
Great foods and friendly staffs. We only ordered for take out this time.
Food is always good here. Staff is friendly.
Went in for lunch today and were so disappointed!! We ordered the Fried chicken spring rolls and the Thai red curry with chicken. Spring rolls - dripping in oil, so bad they almost felt refried. There was a puddle of yellow oil on the plate! Red curry had no flavour, no salt and the chicken didn t taste fresh. Maybe this place is good for Pho as most ppl were ordering that. Surely not for anything else. Bad!
Was working in the area and stumbled upon this place. Ordered the rare beef pho large. The broth had decent flavor. Quality of beef was ok. Service was very good. Hot tea always a bonus.
Great and friendly service . Great portions per order . Delish flavors with spicy and not spicy options. They alo have vegetarian options! Vegetarian options: Great Veggie options Dietary restrictions: We were able to remove certain ingredients that we are allergic to . They were very accomidating Parking: Free Parking
Great food. Take out service very well organized making sure staff and customers are distanced without making it too akward. Prices are very reasonable for the portion.
I wish I could leave 0 stars if I could. My wife and I dropped by today for a quick bite to eat and have never been in this restaurant before. My wife did not have a particularly big appetite and wanted to share my soup with me. As per the waitress, unfortunately we cannot order 1 soup alone for sharing, we wanted to order the extra large size. The waitress suggested that we order an appetizer, and than it is okay to share the soup. I m sorry this is the rules of the restaurant. After receiving this information, she also mentioned that it had to be an appetizer that was at least 4 pieces. Looking at the menu, it would have come to the same price as the size of their smallest bowl of soup which is a medium. The concept of not sharing food is foreign to me, I have been to many restaurants where it is discouraged to waste food. Nonetheless, we left shortly afterwards. They would rather lose the business of a lunch item for the fact that we cannot share the soup. After glancing around other families and dining tables, it was clear to us other people were sharing. It s possible maybe because they bought more items but we were the only 2-person table. For a restaurant that states they are thanking people for supporting small businesses, this was disappointing. I will never come back to this restaurant again.
too bad
I tried only one dish. Vegetable pho with mushroom broth. I really liked it. Had it multiple times. No wow factor thats why 4 starts but definitely good pho for vegetarians. Update: I went back again with family. Limited veggie options only. If you have dietary restrictions please be mindful that this doesnt have much veggie options other one pho made of mushroom broth Parking: Ample parking available in the plaza
Had to come edit my review. This restaurant has dropped in service in the last year. We visited once a couple months ago and they were late opening by a few minutes. we tried to order our usual and was told there was only one order available. We settled for one order and another item off the menu. We drove there yesterday Oct 31 and started calling at 12:00 from outside to try and order ahead. There was no answer. We waited due to the distance we drove and finally at 12:15 they answered the phone only to find out they didnt have what we wanted. as we pulled out they were just opening the door. How can you not have a menu item ready to when when you open? I mean its curry and chicken. I hate to say i will not make the drive again to this location and waste my time.
Great Pho and service was excellent.
This is my happy place! I typically order the Grilled chicken Pho soup. Absolutely delicious! Fresh produce. Good portions Parking: Parking right outside the front door, in a strip mall
The Brisket and Rare Beef Pho selections are my favorites here, Deep Fried Tofu was also a winner. The service is always excellent and good portions. Always will reccomend.
I Was one of your best customers especially during Covid we were coming every 2 weeks almost. We didnt even have to order because your service staff would just know our order. Now you have a rule on sharing food? We always share the extra large pho bowl. Disappointment. Wont be returning.
First time here. None of us had been before. Food was ok. My curry dish was great but we werent wowed by the meal overall. And the spring rolls we overcooked. I really wanted to love it. Waitress was fantastic.
The service is always great, but the food is definitely for a required taste.
The soup is really tasty but please note if we order pho without real meat, like meatball or seafood, the soup less tasty than the ones with meat.
Authentic and delicious. Large portions too. Good in takeout form.
Loooooooove their ph sooooo much. My bf, fam and I have all tried it. And its one thing we can all agree upon: its FREAKING delicious!
The taste and deliciousness of this resto speak for itself. Portion sizes are generous too.
Item 51, my all time favorite. Good pho
While the choices for Pho in Pickering are very limited, were very lucky that Pho Saigon is the place that is available to us. Their Pho and the other options weve tried on their menu are always excellent. The service is always fast, but the only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is that the wait staff service is hit or miss. Theyll take your order quickly, and will bring your food quickly, but youre sometimes lucky if they ever look at you or come back to you again (for refills, additional order, etc.). If they hired more friendly, customer focused wait staff then the experience would be unbeatable, but I get the sense its a family run business and they make do with the family members that are able/willing to work on that particular day. Never been disappointed in a meal there though.
The vermicelli never disappoints; nice portions of tasty food.
The opening times are unpredictable. They are closed when they re scheduled to be open. Time of operations should be fixed/solidified. They never update the time on google. The food too isn t so bad considering it s the only one in Pickering.
My favorite lunch spot in Pickering!
Very smokey in there. Not sure if theres something wrong with the ventilation?? My eyes were burning from the smoke after I left
Only my second time here, really enjoyed the vermicelli both times. Love those fresh rolls too.
Good food
Great service from you enter, get seated and when you walk out! Very clean and detailed. Food was great as well, now my go to Pho place in Pickering.
