Pho Tai Bac in Richmond Hill

Best Vietnamese in town!

The workers are rude and don t like to help I was forgotten about and was waiting for my soup over 40 minutes for just soup

During the tax-free period,When you check out, you include the tip in it, and then you also offer the option of tipping twice, and the merchant did not remind you.

Food is very good for the money wise.

Best place ever, food is delicious.

They said close at 11pm on their door, website and Google. Went there at 9:25pm today and it was closed!!! They left the open sign on while door was locked and all other lights were off, WTH!!!

Best pho place . EVERYONE HAS TO TRY As well as their pad Thai. Food

Great soup base.

Happened to be in the area and took a chance. Didnt even look at the menu, just told the server what I was looking for and they brought it. Flavour, quantity and quality were all on point. I got the spicy rare beef phô with beef salad rolls. Sister got the Vegetarian phô and we both enjoyed it. Will definitely go back and am happy to recommend it to others

This is my favourite spot. Great foods with reasonable prices.

Amazing, authentic Asian dishes. I can only speak on the meals I had at my table but the Pad Thai and Pho were phenomenal. Will 100% return next time Im in the area.

Food is great and service is really fast. Be prepared to wait if you go during dinner rush but the pho is worth the short wait. First place Ive been that had as many options for different combinations of the pho toppings.

Food was solid, this was our first time there so we could only try a few things on the menu. I gave atmosphere a 3/5 because there was a loud fire alarm during the entire dinner and they had placed a bucket over it to dampen the sound. I ll come back and change my review after my second trip here.

Food and service is always good since opening. Pho is so delicious also rice and vermicelli with chicken or pork is delicious too

We have been ordering from this place for couple years and always loved it! Every single time they provided a high quality service. However, we visited for the past 2 times and both times we have noticed a significant change in quality. Pho has became so watery, very small amount of noodle and beef with no taste. We also noticed a bit of a wierd smell this time where it never was there like beef sitting outside for a long time. Their fresh rolls became so small and mostly wrapped with lettuce, with a small piece of chicken. I think it is the time for us to find another place

Amazing pho. By far the best weve had in the GTA. The soft tendon is actually soft. The flank meat is SO good and tender. Not the biggest fan of their egg rolls (cha gio) - theres maybe celery or something strong tasting in it. Love the beef wraps #99. Great mom and daughter team.

We have been coming to this place for years. Food and service has always been great! Still our favorite Pho resturaunt amongst manu others in town.

Favorite restaurant by far. Quality ingredients, cheap and delicious. Cant ask for anymore. I will never stop coming here.

Update: Used to be good but not now brisket is non-fat, tendon is hard, also pho is thin and hard Price is really cheap compared to so many other places, but that does not mean quality is subpar. Actually, the best taste of Vietnam food restaurant in Richmond Hill area. Many people like to eat there and also many takeout to pick up. One time I ordered the wrong one and they changed it without question. Very good customer service.

I ve tried all the famous pho places in the GTA area, and I think this one is the best.

A wide variety of food and good taste

Found a a hair and ask for the replacement. Got a replacement without any apologies. As soon as I received the replacement , there was less meat and noodles. The size was x large. Big difference with the first one. I asked it again if this was new-made, but without checking with the chef, she said yes. They just took out the hair and poured extra broth to show it was new. It was obvious because I received in short period of time. The cashier also didnt appolzie what happen and it wasnt busy at all. I go here often but it was very disappointing.

Their pho gives me comfort (if you know what I mean) . Food taste great. Price and portion is a steal. Their filtered iced coffee and avocado smoothie are my favorites. Family run and super friendly and efficient. Kid-friendliness: Neighborhood style setup and understand parents with kids need

Food is nice and price is reasonable!

Awesome little place

Restaurant is kind of musty and run down. Pho here is oily as hell so you cant taste anything else :(.

Came here around 11 oclock. It was very early and there were not many customers yet. The food was delivered quickly. The rice noodles soup was very fresh and sweet. The fried chicken wings were also very crispy and delicious.

recommend the pho, bun bo hue, and broken rice (called steamed rice on the menu) are all really good. Very good price.

Our family favourite go-to restaurant for pho. Their steamed rice rolls with minced pork and wood ear mushrooms are so delicious. The soup for the beef noodles is full of flavours and doesn t make you thirsty afterwards. You can add $1-$2 to change the pho noodles to my tho noodles for that extra chewy textured bite. Their servings are generous and great service. They seem to be always busy for lunches and dinners but the turn over is quick. Cash or debit card only.

Service and food is very quick. If you come during regular meal times, there will be a wait list. But the wait is usually not too long.

Takeout ph ingredients, then cooked at home for better freshness. Very good

Food is always good. Service is great!

Clean spacious place.. Smaller portions than usual, and it s always packed in here due to late night hours. Try to get there in the off hours. EDIT: They ve cleaned up the place more, love the green cutlery. Washrooms could use some updating but this is my go to spot, quick, fast friendly service.

One of the last remaining value pho restaurant in Richmond Hill. The price is great considering how much other restaurants charges now for a medium bowl. The food quality is top notch.

Food was amazing. Service was excellent. A perfect gem close to home. Left feeling very . Love this place

Its the best best pho in GTA highly recommended

Love this place, best pho tasting soup in the area

This small, somewhat hidden place is always busy and moving fast, whether it be bringing the food, filling sauce bottles, replacing chopsticks and more. The service is friendly and the noodle soups taste good, are big and filling portions and fresh. Spring rolls are very good as well.

it was

Not tasty. Go else where for Viet. Staff not friendly.

The service s great, the food is great and the place is clean. The price s affordable too This is a great restaurant that I would recommend to my family and friends.

Not bad, a bit filling but very enjoyable

Friendly, kid friendly and great pho. What more can one ask for. That said if you come at peak lunch hour be prepared to line up for a table

Very lovely place to get pho. This was my first Pho place one year back and Ive come back many times after that. Ive been to other places but no where has been as affordable and quick as these guys. The food is very good, I recommend getting the 42 without the tripe. Service is quick and the service is excellent. Highly recommend.

Best pho in town

Quick service. Good broth. Affordable.

Go to place for pho.

Good food at a very reasonable price.

Delicious!! You know you are at the right place when the restaurant is packed and people waiting before 11:30am! The warmth of the pho was soothing with the right amount of fragrance to enhance the palate. The grilled pork released favourable grilled aroma, I ended up devouring the meal without taking a second breath of air!! Lol. Spring rolls added a touch of satisfaction. They kept it simple by offering It s Cash or Debit payment method. The family business was in check and ran the business smoothly. Overall, very content with the presentation, the quality and the quantity !!!

Not the best but the old fashioned Pho place as I remember what the Pho used to be. Also the pricing is good compared to other Pho places. Food

The parking lot was quite empty at Sunday noontime, but the restaurant inside was full. You will understand why once you start eating.

Very customizable Pho options in sizes and toppings with quick service. Although good to experience a few Vietnamese food options in the area, tough to recommend based on the lightly cooked flank and beef thickly sliced. Food : 3/5

Amazing broth, noodles are a good firmness. Definitely recommend! This will be my regular spot for this area.

Good solid Vietnamese pho, good price.

Everything was good at this location. The pho dac biet seemed to be on the lighter broth side. The meat portions as the noodles to be fair. As to the price.

Very popular place in the area. You can see people keep coming in til 9pm. Fairly priced food and tons of combinations.

Good food. Reasonably priced. Good for takeout or eat in

Great place with excellent food and reasonable prices. Recommend the pho and grilled vermicelli bowl.

Family run and managed. One of the few Vietnamese restaurants in GTA that has vegetable Pho with vegetable broth. Amazing flavour and taste

This is our favorite pho place in Richmond Hill. We probably go once a week. They have an expansive menu but I never want to eat anything else other than their pho. Generous amounts of beef in each bowl. Prices are very reasonable and service is fast, no frills.

Food is good. Cash or debit only. Always busy

Love the pho and fresh roll here. Staffs are friendly and fast

Authentic high quality pho. Best bang for the buck !

Absolutely 5 stars! Always come here to get my favorite pho soup.

Ordered #33. Soup was somewhat bland, at least it was not high in MSG. Bean sprouts were fresh.

I recommend this place for a good dining experience.

I commented that the service here is quite bad because of contempt for my mother. My mother called twice but still didnt come over so l could ask for a bowl again

Delicious noodles

By far the best Vietnamese pho restaurant in town. Authentic soup base, flavorful, great portion size and price is right. Will definitely come back again. This is my 3rd time back within a week.

Love this place. Been coming here for years. Happy they kept their price same since covid plus quality or portion hasnt changed. Tried many of the new Pho restuarant but this is hands down the best in the city.

This place has always been my go-to place for pho. The soup base is fresh, the portion is generous, and the price is very reasonable given the circumstances. Highly recommend this place if youre not sure where to eat pho!

Food was amazing. Service was top notch. One suggestion: Please make sure to inform your customers that credit card is not accepted.

This is our go-to place for pho. Youll find us here every weekend. Parking: Lots of parking in the plaza. Can be a busy lot. Kid-friendliness: Ask for smaller bowls to make it easier for your kids. Theyll bring scissors and kid friendly cutlery for you too.

I ordered Zuo L size assorted beef noodles, cold rolls and shrimp cakes. Delicious Pho! The beef is so fragrant, tender and outstanding! The coleslaw rolls are so big and filling. There is some oil in the shrimp cakes, so it is better to eat the shrimps first

Unbeatable price but tastes kinda bland! Perhaps because I had covid so lost my sense of smell and taste?

I ve been eating here since it opened and it hasn t disappointed me since. The atmosphere is always lively with great servers. I would recommend getting number 21, rare beef and rare ball in noodle soup and number 9, the shrimp cake. It is usually busy around 18:00 so be prepared to wait a while if it is.

Our favourite pho restaurant in Richmond Hill. The broth is flavourful, beef very tender and veggies seem pretty fresh. The restaurant is also very organized and efficient. Even though they are busy, they will still make sure you have tea or see if you need anything.

Favorite pho place by far. Fast and good service, and amazing food. Go here every time and would recommend to anyone whos around this area. Parking: Lots of parking.

Awesome place with family and friends I try to go here every month you cant stop craving for the broth aswell as the Vietnamese style rice is superb. I really love how the foods cooked and prepared and how the wait staff is so attentive on service. Fast friendly service and attitude. One time I went in with friends last midnight was extremely busy cant remember which day it was but it was so so last minute and the place was so packed we waited for at least 30mins and got our food ready in less then 10 so I was amazed how fast and efficient they were we also saw how busy it was we left 15mins after as soon as everyone was done eating as we saw a line build. Funny story is that they had a big family reservation that night and they took up majority of the tables but none the less fun experience I would greatly recommend for people not within the area to go visit and try this place out its like a hidden gem in that plaza. All n all I greatly appreciated theyre attentiveness to me and my friends and got our food orders in as quickly and they have fresh veggies and taste its amazing me and my friends still remember till this day that busy night we had just craving something warm and brothy.

Fast service, tasty authentic food

Our go-to pho, we ve tried many in the area and this one is a clear winner. We get the #18 beef noodle soup (lean meat) but ask for the beef cooked, and the kids love it. They are always busy and the food is always fresh.

The food was very delicious and authentic. The bowls were big and the staff were very friendly.

The food is delicious. The service is efficient and the atmosphere is alive. Lots of dishes clamer over the sounds of people talking. Its like music to my ears.

Been here a few times and its always quite good! The hoisin sauce and siracha with the flavorful broth and light noodle just cant go wrong. Makes you want to have one bowl after the next. The establishment is very clean and quick service. Would come here again!

A local favourite and the best bang for your buck. Chicken wings (fish sauce), rice noodles with minced pork + vietnamese spam are some of my other favourites outside of the classic pho they have at this store. Staff is very friendly and very attentive to your orders.

Vietnamese Restaurant at Markham Toronto. Good customer service! Staff team very warm welcome! Food : 4/5

Recently drove past this restaurant and saw all the great reviews so I decided to give it a shot. Based of the reviews, I went in with high expectations, but unfortunately in my experience, it didnt met those expectations. Service: The service there is typical to most Vietnamese restaurants nothing that will blow you away but does its job. Food: Ordered their C m S n Bì p La (106) and Pho Tai Bac (18). In my opinion, for their C m S n Bì p La, I felt like the fish sauce that was provided was extremely weak/watered down. I put multiple spoonful onto my rice and only had only had a hint of it. Besides that the shredded pork, friend egg and rice were all good. The porkchop and veggies could have had more flavor, but overall was ok. Similarly for the Pho Tai Bac, the main issue was broth as it lacked depth and wasnt really clear. To conclude, the price and portions size are great, but I cant really say the same about the food as it was about average.

Yummy Vietnam Soup with great quality and services

Came on a recommendation and they did not disappoint! Their Bún bò Hu was excellent with lots of flavour and rich red colour. All noodle dishes were generous with their toppings. Dessert was also excellent!

Best value pho in the area.

This place is fantastic. Tasty broth. Great quality meat and it is spotless. Pride of ownership shows.

Today we went at 10 and as we were eating, they started cleaning around us (10:25-ish). Not a big deal but they started spraying and mopping bleach and other chemicals around us that it made us sick to the point of being unable to finish our food. This wasnt the first time and so I suggested to the cashier girl to let her know that the strong foul smell was not pleasant as we were still eating, and that this wasnt the first time. At first she was understanding and (somewhat) apologized, but then rambled on and on even when we accepted her intial response. To the point of passive aggressivness, and blaming us for coming in late (an hour before closing in a place that you could finishing eating in half an hour) and that it wasnt their fault for wanting to go home (hence pushing the blame on us). If they wanted to leave at 11 (she said herself that they try to leave at 11), why keep the restarutant store hours to be until 11? If they wanted to leave AT 11, they should say they close at 10:30, and if that was the case, we wouldnt be in this situation. For some background: My family and I have been regulars here for years now and its always been a safe go-to spot especially after we finish work which tends to be around 9pm. On multiple occasions, we would come late (latest being 10) and order, eat and pay as soon as we can so they can close soon. As a family thats been working in the restaurant industry for years, we can understand the want to leave as soon as possible, but they treat us as if we stayed past store hours, which is just poor business practice and management.

We all arrived for dinner around 10pm and were almost finished eating around 10:30. From then on, they started cleaning the floor. We got a headache from the smell of detergent and it was disgusting. They even swept up the dust and blew it away. We left the house without even finishing our meal, and the smell was so bad. I asked them if it would be a good idea to clean while eating, and cashier said it was too late and we didnt eat so they cleaned. Without breathing she kept yelling at us, asking if we should go home before they go home. They said it would be open until 11, and they let me come in at 10, but basically forced us to leave half hour before closing... that s ridiculous. I will never come again.

One of the better Vietnamese restaurants that Ive been to in terms of pho but not as good for the lemongrass chicken/pork. The standard rare beef pho was very good and the broth was of high quality. The lemongrass chicken/pork with rice was kind of dry and not as flavourful as many other places. What was also surprising (in a bad way) was that they basically gave you a half piece of each rather than a full piece like almost every other place Ive been to. Id go back to try other things though.

Amazing Pho can t go wrong with this place.

Fast service and great broth. Lots of meat

I found this place online as it was on my way home. I ordered noodle soup and sea food with vegetables with rice. The noodle soup broth was tasteless. Im not sure what was expected. Was a waste of money for sure. As for the sea food with vegetables, I got 2 shrimp and a few leafs of bok choy. I did expect more. For 2 soups and the rice meal, it came to $45.00. I was forced to pay a tip when I waited for my meal as it was a takeaway. The machine has no option for zero tip. So for 49.00, I got some tasteless broth and a 2 shrimp and some bok choy leaves. What a total waste of money. I am not saying dont shop here, but I expected more. Sorry for the honest review. There is no point posting pictures of the food as I have no reason to write anything false. Maybe I should have ordered from the menu, but I think I was clear what I wanted.

Bbh is a complicated pho dish. But it can test the chef skill. Tai bac bbh is really good, authentic. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture. The only reason why it is not a 5 star is that it doesnt come with a pig trotter.

Our favourite authentic vietnamese food in the GTA for several years. The pho is consistently great (fresh, aromatic, the balance of the toppings and texture of the noodles are always spot on) as well as the vermicelli bowl. You cant go wrong with the grilled meats, and the garnishes in the bowl are authentic and add personality. We also enjoy the rice dishes.. there hasnt even an item weve ever ordered that we didnt enjoy as its always fresh and flavourful. They get busy on weekend evenings and so youd probably have to wait to get a table, but it goes relatively quickly. Id say that in any case, the wait is well worth it.

Good, friendly staff they have.

First time here and it was great! Had the sugar cane shrimp, fresh pork rolls, deep fried spring rolls and the #18 rare beef noodle soup. All amazing. Loved that they had cilantro and ginger in their soup, I had never had that before and it was a flavor I didnt think I needed until today! Very fast paced, full house on a Monday at 1145am, so you know its a place that people enjoy! The Vietnamese coffee is also a must!

Our favourite local Vietnamese restaurant. While it s always busy, service and food is consistent for in-house dining or take out. We heard there are new menu items coming and a new dessert. The dessert is unique and haven t found anything like it. We had a little sample of it and are looking forward to it becoming part of their menu!

Best pho in the city. Hanoi style restaurant. Great value every time

I am new to the area and order take out on multiple places, this place is the best within the area. Comparing the sansotei ramen with much more place with little food, this place is best for take out.

Best service I have ever experienced to be honest

Good food but waitress was not attentive.

They close at 11pm, if you want to eat rice noodles or something light late night, this is a good place to go.

I needed a big lunch order for a film crew I was managing and stumbled upon this establishment. They were very accommodating with the huge order and amazing communication throughout! Food was amazing! I highly recommend Pho Tai Bac for food and for service!

Lovely place. Food nice and fresh easy to order

Amazing! I love the food here so much, i go here at least once a week. The service here is beyond amazing too, and the inside of the restraunt is so clean and very modern! 5 stars out of 5!

One of my two favourite Markham/Richmond Hill Vietnamese restaurants for the quality of the pho noodles. The broth is very good too.

Recently, once, we went early at 6:15pm on a Friday, it wasnt busy at that time. 4 people, $115 excluding tips, we had 2 appetizers, 4 beverages and 5 noodles. Starting at roughly 7pm, line up started and constantly there were around 10-15 people standing at the entrance way. Parking was ample though. Another time, we went for lunch on a weekday soon before 1pm, it was FULL. 3 people, 3 noodles, 2 appetizers, and 1 beverage, $80 not including tips. Compared to many other Vietnamese restaurants in Richmond Hill and Markham, prices here are very reasonable and food are good.

Best Bun Bo Hue I ever had so far!

One of my favorite place to enjoy. Try it, never let you down.

Usually pretty busy, food and service is consistently good. Thanks thanks

Traditional Vietnamese noodles soup.... very yummy. This is one of the few Vietnamese restaurants that doesnt make me thirsty after meal. I guess they dont use MSG.

Yummy food, fresh materials

Thumbs up....they are really Viet food

Love their rare beef pho and spring rolls! Size small is enough for me, and my husband ordered Large size.

Very fast service, pho is super solid. Very generous amount of meat. Got an XL to split between two people and it was a perfect amount.

Pho soup is excellent.

Really Good. You wont regret coming here. I usually order Pho Dac Biet.

Loved it

The ex-wife of the Famous Pho Con Bo owns this place and its much better. Fair prices, generous portions and efficient service. Top notch

My wife and I along with two friends had dinner this evening at 6:30 pm, we sat at table 4. We quickly ordered, the food arrived very quickly. The food was AMAZING ! The soup broth was so tasty, item 26 XL (Pho Tai NamGan). I also ordered item 75 (Bun That Can), the vermicelli and grilled meats was truely tasty! It has been a very long time since I enjoyed such a wonderful meal with friends! There was a huge lineup at the door when we left, I truely recommend this restaurant and will definately will be coming back

Great place for Pho! Generous portions at a good price. It keeps us coming back for more.

One of best Pho Restaurants in GTA@

Great place! Lots of variety and extremely tasty! I love their broth and that theres an option to get a little bit of every protien (or exclude). That being said, they made even combo its own item, making the menu slower/harder to read. I normally write down my prefered items by number, since its easier to order that way. Favorite Items: Shrimp paste on sugar cane, fresh rolls, Pho, Vermincelli. Normally Id say specifically what I like, but its all good and it solely becomes a preference thing (I like all meat except tripe, but any combo works).

Great Pho

First time here. Staff was just regular, what you would expect food was kinda the same, nothing to write home about. Overall I dont think I would return as I would rather try a new restaurant. Not sure if I would recommend either, on the fence here as there are literally tons of other Vietnamese restaurants around.

The food was good. My dish had something wrong, after I told the server she ordered a new one to replace it. Usually small restaurants don t care to react and I m happy they take customer service as a priority.

Food was pretty good and the staff were very friendly! Overall, a nice dining experience

Good viet food, for a good price in a simple setting. They have many options. Will definitely come back to try more

Raw and cooked beef noodles and barbecue spring rolls with lemon, delicious!

They are always busy and usually a small wait for a table. And I can see why, they are open late and their pho is amazing. Fresh meats with a very flavorful broth. The only thing to keep in mind is that they are cash and debit only.

Authentic experience & very tender beef

Excellent pho and vermicelli bowls. Prices are reasonable and service was very friendly.

Their Banh Caun is delicious. Havent had this quality for a while. Vietnamese coffee is not as expected, sorry, too sweet but not aromatic. Price is reasonable.

The sugarcane shrimps are delicious

Authentic Vietnamese place you should definitely give a try! It is busy for a reason but I ve always had great luck and never had to wait long for a table! Definitely recommend trying the banh cuon (14b) and bun bo hue (54)!

My go to Pho place in the RH area.

Ordered 2 medium sized Pho Dac Biet and Pork rolls for takeout. Very yummy overall. Good quantities. Wish they would have provided some hot-sauce. Would definitely re-visit/order.

Decent pho, poor service.

Delicious food ( pho, rolls and rice vermicelli ), free tea served, very fast service

My go-to place when Im craving Vietnamese food. Prices are amazing and despite being busy, the wait is never long and the food always comes out hot and quickly. Service staff are very helpful and kind. Would definitely recommend!

Food okay but pho is getting real pricey. Not a lot of meat in pho. Much better deals and pho around.

I ordered small-sized rolls which tasted good, so I decided to order another. A large order includes four rolls, while a small order has two. Having ordered four rolls in total, it seems reasonable to expect a gesture of goodwill, such as upgrading my two small orders (costing $6.75 each) to a large order (costing $11.95). When I asked, the counter staff said I should have initially ordered a large size, explaining that the two orders were separate and couldnt be altered. This insistence that changes cant be made to the system is nonsensical. Offering a slight discount or some accommodation would have been appreciated, but none was given. Instead, I was charged for the more expensive option. Ive enjoyed dining here for over ten years, but this experience has been truly disappointing, showing a lack of consideration for customer needs.

great taste reasonable price

Delicious food and quick service!

This place has been my go to place for pho but recently, the portion of the food has gotten a lot smaller.

Good pho

My go to pho place. I m not a big eater and every time I go for pho, I end up leaving some of the noodles. The portion size here is just right for me. I prefer quality over quantity.

Went to there at 10 pm, still a lot of customers. Good food and service.

Food not bad, Chinese-style Vietnamese restaurant. Price is fair, picked small size beef noodle, fit for tea only.
