So yummy! We walked here from the Discovery Centre and were crazy starving hungry. We ordered a soup, and a vermicelli dish, and both were so unbelievably delicious. Tender flavourful meat, fresh veggies, perfect spices, and a remarkably clean washroom.

First things first, the broth for the pho is great. Really good. So at the end of the day, this place is starting on target. I had the rare beef pho, the meat was good, tender, etc. The ingredients in the soup were good.

I think this place could do a lot better. When I walked in, there was only one other family there, the place was deserted and I think I know why. The price to volume of food is just not right. I had the smaller sized pho, and from the look of the bowl, it should be the right size, but they did not fill it! It was a tapered bowl, and the last inch and a quarter was empty. The top part for a $16 bowl, should have been nearly full. Just fill it up guys! More people will come!

I also ordered the deep-fried spring rolls. They were good. Three of them for Seven dollars. I think for a small bowl of pho and spring rolls and 15% tax and a tip notching out at about $29… The price is just too high.

Would I go back? Yes! But I would ask them to fill the bowl up! Gimme more! And if not, I’d go somewhere else.

In my hometown, which has an absolutely amazing pho, you just get a lot more and you pay less. That matters! And the place is constantly filled with people, it’s ridiculous. Sometimes they don’t answer the phone because they’re too busy and you have to walk in to order a takeout instead of phoning ahead. They got that perfect little intersection between price quantity and quality. This restaurant here has the quality, so they don’t have to fix that! Fix the rest and there’ll be 50 people in there all day long.

A spacious and nice interior despite the small entrance. The pho broth is lighter, less oily. Option for a smaller bowl is available too.

Its is a solid spot for Vietnamese food and definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. The beef pho was flavorful with a rich broth, though I wish it had a bit more depth or spice. The spring rolls were fresh and the dipping sauce was great, and the bún bò Huế had a nice kick to it. Service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere is casual and clean, though nothing particularly memorable. Prices are fair for the portion sizes, and everything tasted fresh. Overall, it’s a great option for a comforting, no-fuss meal—just not quite mind-blowing.

Had to take a break from lobster rolls and clam chowder so opted for some Vietnamese cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious and authentic Pho Maniac was! Got the bun bo hue delivered and it was so aromatic and delicious.

Only issue is I didn’t get any utensils, which made it really challenging to eat.
