amazing place for good quality cheap pho, the portions are huge, the curry is amazing and so is the pho, i ordered the rare beef pho, the fried rolls, and the curry, all amazing. they also have a great drinks selection and not just sodas!

Food and atmosphere was amazing. Service could have been a bit better, both servers we very pleasant and helpful when at our table only issue here was we were not checked on the whole time we were eating and I could not get anyone’s attention for a drink refill. As you can see we both had the pho and it was amazing. Was surprised that they did not offer chili paste as a condiment but did have hoisin and sriracha. Love the option to make the pho a combo with an individual appetizer.

Had Egg Noodle with Chicken, the chicken and veggies were crisp and delightfully seasoned. The noodles felt a tad blend, though. Special Pho ( Beef, Brisket, Beefball) had a really nice broth, flavourful beef and the dish was very balanced overall. Portion size is on the generous side, so order accordingly. The rice noodles, again, felt bland-ish.

Went here for a nice casual vietnamese dinner in Scarborough. Many room for seating here, we went at 8pm on a saturday and it was not too busy here! Fairly quick reliable service over here, we didn’t wait too long for our food! They also have a drive thru that’s surprisingly really quick when ordering some pho to go! A3 - Shrimp Fresh Roll Very yummy and tasty as you’d expect from a fresh roll 8.5/10 A1 - Crispy Spring Roll w Pork and Mixed Vegetables - tasty but not for everyone, without the fish sauce it wouldn’t be so good honestly S1 - Mango Salad w/ choice of shrimp 7/10 Very delicious and refreshing but the mangoes were a bit too ripe. If mangoes were better, then it would’ve been more like an 8.5/10. Also they used cashews for this dish, i would’ve preferred peanuts here. Both the special pho and rare beef pho are as expected. I normally get a Large as I’m a big guy but got a small because we got other side orders. I’d recommend getting a large if you’re just solely coming here for having pho.

A nice little place for Vietnamese cuisine, I ordered Pho Tai, but the meat was fully cooked, too well done for my taste. The noodle and the broth were excellent. I may try other dishes if I visit again.

A quiet unassuming place. Friendly and polite staff. Quick service and a bright and uncrowded space. Food is delicious. Fresh Spring rolls are great. Fairly certain Chicken Pho can cure the commmon cold or at least make winter a little less miserable. Drive thru is quick and a great value. Drive thru menu is smaller than in restaurant but allows drive thru dishes to be delivered quickly at the window. Definitely recommend 👌

I love this little gem! Usually use their drive thru but this time around I brought my husband with me and he isn't familiar with the menu so decide to order inside, we were offered a table so decided to dine-in. Dine-in experience was lovely (this being our first time dining out since the pandemic) we were offered tea or water, which was refilled throughout our dining, the dishes were plated nicely and the servers ( we had about 3 of them) were all nice and welcoming. Even though their menu isn't extensive I find it be to a great restaurant!

Portions are huge and certainly value for money. The pho and rice dishes are good. But I've been here a few times, it doesn't seem to be as consistent. The appetizers can be improved. Nothing to interesting. Clean restaurant and washroom.

Ordered on Uber eats and they delivered nasty uncooked food that had a strong taste and smells awful. Couldnt even take a bite. I said Im really sick and this made me gag. She didnt even care a lady name Nita. Then she goes on to yelling at me disrespectfully saying bring it now or I cant exchange. How can she expect me to come when Im sick and ordered off ubereats to begin with. Very inconsiderate and terrible food, dont buy. Save your money! Reporting to health Canada and Better business bureau.

They changed ownership to Madame Saigon and now its super expensive. Its more pricier now its like Downtown Toronto prices. 2 springs rolls for $8.50 and the fried spring rolls are not even big. They used to charge each spring roll ($2.50 each) now they make u buy 2 ($4.25) 70% increase lol greed .Pho bowl size are smaller, a large size (their biggest option) is like medium and they dont have XL bowl if your a hungry person or want to share. They give less food especially the Meat and Veggies and give you a bunch of carbs ie. Noodles. They also put the sauce inside mix with food with is unhealthy and hygienic issues. And they increase the price and charge you extra for sauce. Very GREEDY they want more money and give u less food. Workers are over worked and seem tired and no enthusiasm only one female works I believe shes indian decent she friendly and energetic. I wouldnt recommend this pho. Theres better places for better value and taste. Pho and springs rolls cost $30 alittle on the pricey side.

You want quick and solid pho amongst other yummy Vietnamese dishes? This is the spot! I ve lived in Scarborough for two years now and found this gem on UberEats. This is such a great place for a late-night eat. Prices are fair too, considering their serving sizes. Love the drive-thru option too. Highly recommend the house special pho and fresh shrimp rolls. Always hits.

we ordered online for pick up. I called before picking up to see if they give 10% off for cash payment and the lady told me they have 10% off on all payment methods. She knew that I ordered online. When m husband picked it up, they charged full price so I called and asked them why would they give incorrect info. Reply was Oh! only for dine-in there is 10% off as per their website! Now their website doesnt mention done in only! So this is service! As for food, vermicelli with chicken definitely lacking taste, rare beef pho was not raw and got cooked since they put it in the same container as the noodles. And they missed chopsticks. They put 4 containers in one bag and squished the pho, so was dripping. All in all not going back eventhough they offered 15% off.

June 21, 2024

Normally love this place but today the pho was beyond salty and the customer service was terrible. The server made me feel so uncomfortable and couldn t provide me with the simple items I ordered. Seems like theyre more concerned about the drive thru than the dine in

This is my go-to pho spot. I love this place. I ve been coming here since 2018 and to this day they ve never served me a bad meal. In fact, only delicious meals. The noodles in the pho bowls are cooked well, not mushy or raw. The soup is delicious. I usually get the general tao chicken and cheese wontons(these are so addictive. Sometimes I end up ordering 2 plates). Recently, I started trying their drinks. The lemonade is good but the coconut shake hits the spot. Lastly, the staff has always been nice and welcoming over the years and as they changed.

First time coming here to this pho restaurant, always see this place but never had a chance to try it, always passing by but decided to give it a try and to my surprised it s not bad at all, the soup it s flavourful, good portion of noodle, soup and meat, Very nice staff, menu pretty basic and not much options like other places, that s when you know you re in the right place to get a nice bowl of noodles. Overall will come again if near the area.

Worst place, we ordered food from. When I ordered a chicken Noodles, and there was no description at all, and they gave me all un cooked noodles in the box, chicken gravy separate and sauce separate. When called in to the restaurant regarding this concern, they cant do anything and replace with the right one. They should put a description in the menu for a customer to know what theyre ordering for.

Tried to find any Vietnamese restaurant near by me and the google suggested to visit this restaurant. The first impression is they have drive thru service but it is not familiar with any Vietnamese restaurant as I knew. Service and staff s are good. But I only voted pho in this menu. Grilled beef with vermicelli and pad Thai are just ok. 3.5/5

I am not a meat eater so I don t get many options anywhere. So in here I tried fresh roll with tofu and it was good. For the main course I ordered - Stir thick fried noodles with green onion and tofu . Well the taste was bland, tofu was deep fried and was cut in big chunks, which I hated. And for non- meat eaters there are only 2-3 options available. On the contrary their cold coffee was a delight. Service was good and place was hygenic. Vegetarian options: Not many, only 2-3 are available.

December 21, 2023

I ve been eating at this restaurant for years but seems it is under new management lately. Very poor customer service experience there today; I was at the drive thru and ordered plain pho (noodle only) and asked for extra sauce. The lady at the window was very argumentative about providing extra sauce. As you can see in the picture that amount of sauce is nowhere near enough for a whole bowl of Pho. Once my order was served I noticed the amount of sauce provided was still very little so I kindly asked for more. They lady argued with me and in a very passive aggressive manner handed me extra sauce and promptly closed the window on me without any sort of apology or explanation. Will definitely NOT be coming back!

my only place for vietnam pho after i dicover it. best taste and most authentic food. but after the pandemic thing, i find the amount of noodle were reduced, and some of the meat like tendon were gone. basils has to be asked, doesnt come in the plate with the bean sprout anymore. and i dont know why the staffs cant have some common sense when bringing our food. for example, i went there by myself and order 1 special pho noodle, i get one plate of bean spout, i went there with my family, total of 5 people ordering 4 pho noodles, and still bring one plate of bean sprout. weird. but yeah, pho is the best.

My wife and daughter order there large special pho soup and they notice the waitress wearing gloves that she was using to clean the restaurant with. Instead of taking them off she decided to leave them on. She handle the bowl by touching the inside of the bowl with her dirty gloves. My wife and daughter were totally turn off from this.

I havent been here since the pandemic started and thankfully, it hasnt changed. The staff is attentive and food comes out quickly. My party of 2 had fresh shrimp spring rolls and we both had Vermicelli, with grilled chicken. This also comes with a deep fried spring roll, so probably could have done without the fresh, but theyre just SO good. All ingredients were very fresh and we were thankful for the friendly staff filling our glasses with water and tea constantly. We will undoubtedly return.

I always buy lunch here because it s convenient, they have the drive thru and it s usually fast. Yesterday, we decided to eat at the restaurant. The waitress was nice and helpful. My regular order is usually grilled chicken and rice with fried egg but this time I changed it to General Tao Chicken, boy was I wrong for this. An hour after, I started to feel something wrong with my belly. I ended up with food poisoning. Fast forward next day, I m still puking and staying in the washroom 80% of the time.

Feel like the owner and/or cooks changed. The pho noodles were soggy and overcooked, dont remember it like this before. I recall first time trying Lac Vien pho and the noodles were so memorable as they were perfectly chewy and well cooked. Soup flavour was alright and it could have been hotter. Quality was noticeably different today.. And disappointing. And unsure if Id recommend it anymore as a few more pho restaurants have popped up nearby. I really liked the drive thru feature though!

Have had 1 bad experience here years ago, but I have given this place numerous other tries and they have been great. The food is delicious, fairly priced and their drive through option is a bonus. I previously rated this a 3, but they have been wonderful since that one bad experience, so bumping it up to a 5.

Outdoor patio is opened (if weather permits) and they do take reservations. Love their food, but there are not too many selections on the menu. Nice friendly customer service.

Ordered fried noodles with beef and vegatibles (it says it will come with brocoli califlower carrots and onions. When it arrived it wasnt what i ordered it was thick noodles with beef and regular onions that are not even cooked and they put a couple pieces of green onion to add colour. $14 plus delivery for something i didnt even order. I would not waste your time. Because they cant read a order screen.

This is my go to place for Viet pho/vermicelli in Scarborough. I ordered the grilled beef with vermicelli and grilled pork with vermicelli. The portion for each dish is filling. Happy they have drive thru, dine in (inside & outside) and online ordering. Staff is also friendly.

The food is no bad. I ordered grilled porkchop and rice.

December 21, 2021

Well. What can I say. I have ordered 3 times in the last month. 2 of the three orders were incomplete or incorrect. Do I actually have to open the bags and check to see if they are correct before I leave. I SHOULDNT. During this pandemic this restaurant like all, should be providing the best service to get patrons to spend money at their establishment. Stop crying about lost revenue and provide better service. I will be searching for a new place for this type of cuisine. 1 STAR

I like it. I went here on a Friday evening for dinner. The restaurant is clean, the staff are attentive and polite. They were enforcing all the COVID protocols. I really liked the hot tea. I ordered the rice mean with Thai chicken curry with fried rice, shrimp tempura, and fried vegetable spring rolls. The food is good. They also offer drive thru. I recommend this place.

Came to this restaurant because I was servicing my car at the nearby dealership. I ordered the Pho special and the Viet ice coffee. The food is kind of meh as I can taste MSG in the soup (this unusual sweet taste in the soup base), the soup was relatively lighter in colour and the fact that I kept feeling thirsty after the meal was a good indication of the msg in the soup. The Viet ice coffee was not bad but it was slightly more bitter and taste slightly burnt. Overall, I would give 4 stars just for the service... :P

One of the best Vietnamese restaurants out there. I have been going here for many years periodically. Their food is always great and customer service is excellent too. My wife usually eats special Pho bowl while I usually like to eat grilled chicken on rice. This time I tried Beef Stew Noodles. The broth taste was very good. I believe satay beef noodle probably a better option, I will try it next time. Even though Beef Stew Noodles were good but I felt that noodles were a bit less in my bowl. The beef was as big chunks of cooked meat which I loved as I prefer to eat well cooked meat. Last time I had grilled chicken on rice. The chicken was very well made. Portion was good for the price. The staff is very friendly and they truly looked after customers. They checked up on us few times to make sure everything was ok. All the sauces are on the table so you dont have to ask. The place is very clean and well maintained. The washroom are very clean and roomy which is very hard to find these days. I strongly suggest this place for some good Vietnamese food in Scarborough. They even have a take out window in case you want it take out.

Ordered the bun (vermicelli) with grilled pork and spring roll and it was pretty good! Decent sized portion, good amount of pork, spring roll was crispy. I like how they shred the lettuce finely so that it mixes well with the bowl. Jack fruit shake was tasty and friendly service!

Not bad. Ordered vermicelli with grilled beef and spring roll. The grilled beef was excellent with lots of smoky flavor. The spring roll however was soggy the standard to beat is still Pho Dau Bo (Scarborough) which are crispy and not greasy at all. Also ordered their special pho (P1) but was disappointed that XL was not available for takeout only small size is available for takeout. The pho was on par with most other places. I was happy to see they offered durian milkshake on their menu so I got that too, however it was way too sweet the durian fruit is already really sweet naturally so there was no need to add any additional sugar. Finally I ordered via their drive thru and waited several minutes. My order was carefully packaged with good utensils (chopsticks, spoon, fork, napkins) not the dirt cheap chopsticks many other places give either. Small touches like this score lots of points in my books. Considering you don t typically associate Pho with drive thru I thought they are doing a good job at really making this as efficient as to be expected (trading off quality for speed is something I would not want). Honestly, I just wanted to test and see how good drive thru vietnamese food can be and was pleasantly surprised by the higher than expected food quality. Would visit again!
