Food is good. However, the owner lady keeps overcharging me more than it’s stated on their menu when paying by debit card which I find sleazy without informing customer (like sneaking some in hidden fee or tip). Takeout fee is also ridiculous even though it’s minuscule.

I came in maybe less than an hour before close. The ladies quickly got me a table, showed me how to order and i was eating within the next 10 minutes. The pho was absolutely amazing! I have had my fair share of Pho but this Pho is the best i ever had and i will be thinking about going each month. Price was reasonable and staff were very nice.

This is mine and my friends favourite place to eat. We always get the same thing and it always adds up to 21 smth dollars each. Why did we get charged 30$ each? And on top of that they gave me the wrong order. When we called the place, they were not taking accountability for overcharging us and giving us the wrong order. This is stupid and I’ll never come here again. I’ll tell all my friends and family not to come here as well.

Not the most classy or cleanest place. But apart from that the food was also very vanilla. Expectedly, service followed the same rule as the rest of aspects.

We ordered the peanut and coconut soup, which is a Thai dish offered at this Vietnamese restaurant. It was very tasty and had a strong peanut taste. The service was very quick and we did not wait long for our food. I would eat here again to try the variety of foods offered.

It's not a very clean restaurant, the utensils and basically everything are a little sticky (spoons, chopsticks, bowls, tables and floors). The food was good and affordable, but I really don't feel safe eating in this restaurant😅😅. Plus, the rice is really sticky and clumpy, I can tell it's probably the cheapest type of rice. Would not recommend any dish with rice, their vermicelli is worth a try.

Whenever I am in the area I will definitely be making a stop here. Excellent quality food with reasonable prices that is open late (bonus!). When I dined in on a Saturday night, it was extremely busy but the staff were very quick, attentive, hard working and friendly. Keep up the great work!

Decent Pho noodle restaurant with large size portions at affordable prices. Utensils and sauces are available at each table, like many Vietnamese restaurants. Staff can speak Cantonese. I would recommend visiting if you're in the area. They only take cash and debit.

We decided to have a late-night snack and shared an extra-large pho noodle. To our surprise, the restaurant added a 75-cent charge for sharing. Also, the portion size of the extra-large pho noodle seems smaller compared to our last visit

October 2024 update: went again for the first time in a year cause it was one of the few late night places open. The XL they give you is a L at other places. Theyre also now charging a $0.75 sharing fee if you order one thing for two people. I have never heard of a restaurant charging a fee like this. What a scam this place is. Pretty bad these days. Overpriced (high teens for just...pho), cant pay with credit card, and bland. The only thing its got going for it is the fact its open late. Go to Pho Quinn instead.

HAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII. Woman at the front will always greet you with a nasally HAIIIIII. frikin hilarious Would make a good ring tone. Been coming here since high school. Pho is standard and reasonably priced, not bad but nothing spectacular. Love the vietnamese iced coffee and spring rolls as appetizer.

Used to support this place for our regular pho takeout. Cashier today gave himself a $5 tip on the pos without asking. Never seen this anywhere else in the city. Now from the greed of this cashier they lost a long time customer. Very strange behaviour.

November 22, 2024

Right when we entered we did not feel welcomed- the staff and who I believe was the manager/owner were so rude. The I don t need your business , take it or leave it attitude. My family and I just asked for additional bowls, be seated further into the restaurant and that s when the attitude came. It s not a clean restaurant to begin with. The server practically dropped the bowl of pho onto the table in a manner, which it could have splashed onto the table/us. It was rude and abrupt. Despite saying thank you for their services , I had zero response ( which is fine) . They just looked like they hated everyone in sight. When the meal was finished, we asked for takeout box for our left over vermicelli and rice. The owner told us we would have to pay for the takeout box. The food was alright, I wouldnt say it stood out. The rice in the rice dishes are NOT made with the traditional broken rice. Made with normal jasmine rice. I would rather pay a bit more to go anywhere else than to return with this type of service.

very bad customer service. Ignorant of any feedback we gave. The meat they provided were all stick together l, it were just felts came out of freezer. Do Not recommend to come

My family dined at this restaurant a while ago, worst place to eat out! Our waitress was not only ignorant but also very rude, she didn t seem to want to provide good service. The tea I was served literally had green onion floating in it and she was not happy that we pointed it out. She took away the teapot and came back with another one, slammed it onto our table, not interested in making eye contact or an apology.

Pho 88 is a no-frills long-time Vietnamese restaurant located at the Bamburgh Circle plaza, next to the Chinese restaurant. Prices are just about average for your general pho place, and service is quick. Im not a huge fan of their broth, as its very MSG-y (no hate against MSG, but it was just very salty) and oily. The toppings were just average too - not too much and nothing special. They do have a wide variety of fruit smoothies for a very good price, but everything else was about average. We were a party of 4 and got 1 appetizer, 2 drinks, and 3 entrees and it came up to about $80 before tips. There are much better pho places around - Id only recommend coming to Pho 88 if youre desperate to fill a craving. It gets the job done - but not well.

June 22, 2024

okay so this sucks for me to leave a review like this. ive been coming to tjis restaurant for 20+ years. and over the years different things have happend, but today....not cool. i ordered a XL spicy beef soup, the soup was not that hot in temperature. but even before that wben i got the soup i immediately noticed the smell was off ( it smelled like it was burnt) the taste was really off....i mentioned to the owner right away my displeased feeling, and i was ignored pretty much and told that the soup is the same and nothing is wrong, which was far from the case. i couldnt eat that at all......and to make matters worse i was enforced and told i had to pay... i cant in good mind reccomend anybody else to come here anymore. and this might have been my last boel here also....oh yea and i told the owner it was my Birthday, as it is..... happy bday to me... no more regular spending of about 240$ per month here as mentioned i was a regular customer for myself amd family.... Very Disappointed.

Pho connoisseur here. Last time I visited was about ~15 years ago. From what I recall back then to what I experienced tonight, unfortunately I need to report a decrease in value. I ordered a small rare beef and tendon pho. The portion size was on the smaller size of small. They served green chillies, bean sprouts, lime and basil on the side, no sawtooth cilantro. The service was fairly quick - I ordered, went to the bathroom to wash my hands, and came back - no less than 30 seconds later my order was brought to my table. At the table side are tissues, chopsticks, spoons, sriracha, hoisin, and chili oil. No sauce dishes. The sriracha was in a generic bottle that they refill, but it tasted like authentic Huy Fong. Now on to the pho itself: the portion size was small. Toppings were minimal as was the amount of noodles. I purposely ordered a small to satisfy my craving but was left looking for a little bit more. The pho was also dressed with a minimal amount of onions and green onions - looking at the photos from other reviews, my bowl had obviously less garnish. The rare beef appeared to have been flash cooked in the kitchen as opposed to rare/red and allowing the broth to cook. The tendon was nice and soft, but only about 5 small pieces in my bowl. The soup base was good - hot and tasty. Rating of 3 stars - average but deducted a star for poor value. My small pho costed $15 plus tip, $17.25 total - simply not good value for money. I heard the staff speaking Cantonese instead of Vietnamese.

My visits to Pho 88 have been mixed, but this last one left a bitter taste. Despite tipping generously on our previous visits, the owners attitude was appalling when we opted not to tip this time. Tipping should always be optional, and its disheartening to encounter such insistence. The food was satisfactory, but the unpleasant encounter overshadowed any enjoyment. Management needs to reconsider their approach to customer service.

The food is good. Does its job if you re looking for a quick pho fix when you re hungry after work. I enjoy their shakes here too. There s a middle aged male server and I just want to point out how great his service is. He smiles and greets you in a positive manner when you talk to him (which is surprising because sometimes I don t get any responses at Asian restaurants) He s a hard worker and it s nice to see more servers that enjoys serving with a great attitude.

One of the best phos I have ever had! It was filling and flavourful, my taste buds were happy. Hong, was such a pleasure to deal with and such a gem. Her service went above and beyond. I mentioned I was sick and she made a warm drink with honey and tangerine and it helped soothe my sore throat. The price was affordable. I look forward to going back really soon :) Make sure to check it out if youre in the area.

Ive been coming to this restaurant for years. 20+ years ago I worked nearby and this was on our lunch rotation for a small group of friends that enjoyed eating out for lunch. I still consider this my go to pho place. years later the food is still great, there are many options to choose from and the food is consistently good. I believe it is the same owners as i still see the same people 20 years later. the staff is Always so friendly and eager to help (employee assisted my elderly mother to the car) and service is super fast.

This used to be my go to pho place but i was really disappointed from my recent visit. My dad ordered pork chop and it wasn t fully cooked - it was pink inside. When we asked them for another they just recooked the original pork and it came out over cooked and burnt. we ordered pork fresh rolls as appetizers and those were also very mediocre. I m sad that it seems the standards for this old favourite restaurant of mine have fallen. I probably won t be coming back for a long time.

Tasty and reliable spot for Vietnamese. Pho is always good and portions are large. The grilled pork in the vermicelli was a little too charred the last time I was here but everything else was solid - shrimp and crab noodles, curry shrimp, bun bo hue. $0.50 extra for takeout and they may charge extra for sharing as well so just be sure to order enough dishes for your group. Theyre definitely nicer to their regulars.

December 22, 2023

please be aware, do not share bowls here. me and my girlfriend ordered a XL pho to share and after we ate from here, we threw up multiple times during the night.

December 22, 2023

I ordered a L pho, the price is 12.75. But I was charged 18.52 at last (I tipped 15%). I didn t realize what is wrong until 2 days later. How the 18.52 comes out? I ate alone, so no share cost . The lady overcharged for what? I totally have no idea! Be cautious about the bill, guys!

Their food was BAD & their service even Worse The beef in the pho was old and smelly , I also ordered shrimp & vegetable spring roll they brought me spring roll with beef inside , i didn t say anything at first and thought whatever let s eat it but it was made with the same smelly beef so I returned it ( only had 1 piece from 4 piece order ) the waiter blamed it on me that I choose option number 3 and this is what I get ! I never chose any option , I only told him I want shrimp & vegetable spring rolls ! The manager was even more rude and came to me saying that I already had a piece and she cannot change the order for me ! I told them that this is not what I ordered and I don t want it , she only change 2 pieces for me and said she cannot change the 3rd price because I already ate the 1 piece ! Very STUPID !

The bad reviews are correct. This place used to be pretty good and now it is not. Also I am sure they over charge me by .$10.

Dishonest business, will never come back again.

Revolting. Maybe you should only order pho here but we decided to try grilled chicken and shrimp vermicelli and grilled chicken on rice. Disgusting greasy skin on chicken, absolutely mediocre shrimp, tasteless sides. It is a pure abomination low end excuse for a Vietnamese restaurant. You cannot leave no tips so we left 1 cent and well never be back.

The food and broth is very yummy so I do recommend! However I recommend to only dine in for a few reasons: 1. Takes it sizes are not accurate. We had ordered a size small and large on the phone and got the same amount of noodles and soup for the two different dishes. 2. Unfortunately a few times they have gotten the order wrong over the phone and we didn t notice til we got home and had tipped. Now I know to always check before I leave with the food. When we called back to explain and hope for an opportunity to have the correct meal made for us, they took no responsibility for the error or offered to make it right. In person they did correct a wrong order with no problem and the portions are generous.

Service guy claimed our order was 70$ even though with tax and tip it wouldnt even be 50$. Maybe it was just a miscalculation, but we were almost charged like 20 dollars extra, without tip too. We HAD to tip anyway. I came back to taste my childhood again, the food was good, the place was the same, something just changed. Most probably service, and atmosphere. I liked the crowded people, we used to have to line up to get a seat. Everyone would be chatting and laughing with their families and the street lights shined so brightly like 1000 suns, maybe Im overexaggerating? Its really just different. The cups had residue and black specks in it, and when we washed it and poured tea the particles kept coming. It wasnt the cleanest. Still a love for the taste, maybe Id come back every three years.

50 cents extra for take out and if you want hot sauce and anther 60 you need to pay . Cutting corners on everything.

Impressive service! Everything about my experience has been amazing. Coming to this restaurant for over last 10-12 years

Don t go to this place! This is the last pho place I would recommend in Toronto. A $1 instant noodle soup taste better than their tasteless pho soup. Not to mention the service is subpar. Avoid this place at all cost!

Best Pho in Ontario!

December 22, 2023

We ordered the vermicelli with grilled beef. It was atrocious!!! My goodness this place has gone down hill. The noodles were slimey and the beef was boiled. So bad they are cutting corners here. Do not come here and eat it is not worth the money. Also the lady who keeps screaming hi, how many? as soon as ppl walk in and is super annoying. Did not even finish this. Will NEVER come back here again.

December 22, 2023

The food is of poor quality and portions, mandatory tipping, and the attitude is very bad. Why do they ask for tips, when the food and the service is extremely horrible. Will never ever come back again!

December 22, 2023

Mandatory tips within asking. Owner of the restaurant was very rude to the clients. Very small portion of food and taste average, but the prices are not low. I don t recommend people to come here.

Always come here just for their famous pho noodles. Ordered noodles soup with beef flank, brisket and tendon. Never disappointed although the amount was a bit less. The price was ok, $12.75 for large bowl and $11.75 for small. The service was fast and the place was not too noisy. Parking: Lots of parking in front of the restaurant. Kid-friendliness: Kids seats are available

This place is always packed at night, since the price is reasonable and the portions are generous. But the pho taste is just average, and it s not the most flavourful. Nothing special but it s a good and filling meal.

Best Pho spot in the city. Pho88 in Bamburgh is a Scarborough staple. I ve been eating here since they opened in 1999. My Grandparents used to bring my sister, Mom, and I here after church. The food & atmosphere have been as warm as their soup since day one. I love the community vibe when you walk in. Everyone is friendly & the food is amazing. The strawberry milkshake, avocado milkshake, and Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk are my go-to drinks. #4, #112, #114, #201, and #203 with a fried egg are my regular meals. The vermicelli bowls are amazing, too! Hopefully I ll see you the next time I m there. If not, tell Hong & the gang that I say hi!

The service attitude is too bad, not the kind that can be tolerated. The service staff will give you a bad look. They will complain in front of you that your order is slow. They have not experienced the service and have to collect mandatory tips. It is too bad. I will not come again.

December 22, 2023

I usually order #117 in a small and the lady at the cashier always over charges me 15$ when a small is 11.50 +tax. I never said anything before but now it s been constant and I don t like when people get greedy.

It is true that the lady owner yells and might seem like she is very rude, but this is her natural expression and personality. She is very kind and will smile later LOL maybe this comments are coming from the newbie customers and they really dont know the lady owner very well. Anyways, I visited this restaurant again and brought my girlfriend here. The quality is still the same and my favorite is still delicious! I always order the SPICY PEANUT BUTTER BEEF PHO and it never disappointed me. I will still keep on coming back when I get the chance. Order the food I mentioned and everything will be worthwhile!!

I only go here cause it s 5 mins away from my house. Decent viet food. There is definitely a lot better out there. They also charge u an extra $0.50 for takeout. I think everything is premade cause everything comes out within like 5 min haha. Good for convince but if ur looking for proper viet food then skip this place.

December 22, 2022

Food was good, but they are sneaky with their add on prices. Never advise you upfront and just add it to the bill. I order a beef Pho and asked them to put the meat separately. They charged me $1.50 for that ..what the hell is that? For what? Never been charged for that request anywhere.
