50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near East York

“One of my favorite pho spots. You can tell the food is made with real heart… from the small details like the handmade meatballs really stand out. It has that classic family-run Vietnamese restaurant vibe where everyone’s involved in making the food, and you know when that’s the case it’s going to be good. Always comforting and consistently delicious.“

“Food is fresh and delivered quickly and still hot.“

“Absolutely delicious food, wonderful staff too. Highly recommend!“

“This is my favourite place! I always order P10 - Vegan Pho and the vegan crispy spring rolls. The food is always delicious. The staff are friendly. I order from Uber eats often as well and it's the same quality, lots of veggies/tofu and noodles.“

“I love Pho Metro! The food is absolutely delicious every time and the service is quick and friendly. Everything is fresh and portion sizes are extremely generous and filling. My wife is addicted to their tea, it smells exactly like brown sugar boba. If you're in Thornhill, we can't recommend this place enough.“

“Best Pho in Agincourt. Very quaint, eclectic atmosphere. Friendly staff. Liked the copper cups for the tea. ( jasmine very good)“

“Dịch vụ tốt. Phở 😋ngon😋😋😋😋“

“First time visiting Nang Saigon and it was a great experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and Chu Dat is accommodating, which made us feel welcome right away. Service was attentive and kind throughout. Looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes!“

Meaning alleyway in Vietnamese, a Hem is where you'd find hidden gems. The steamed wontons are a solid start. The filling combines aromatic pork umami with the mild sweetness of shrimp, accented by carrot, sesame oil, soy and scallions. Tossed in a chili-satay dark soy vinaigrette, the dish strikes a refreshing balance of umami, sweet, tang and lightly spicy notes. Bringing a crisp contrast in textures, this vegetarian-style green papaya salad combines refreshing cabbage, softer carrots, fried shallots, king oyster mushrooms, peanuts, mint, and airy shrimp chips. The fish sauce dressing is mild with a distinct acidity that offers an approachable version of Vietnamese-style salad for foreign tongues.“

“We ordered the Special Rice Noodle Soup and the Hue Style Beef Special, and both were absolutely delicious! The broth was rich and flavorful, and the ingredients were fresh and perfectly cooked. You can really tell they put care into every bowl. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious food, large portion.“

“Delicious food, large portion.“

“Delicious food, nice atmosphere.“

“Very affortable simple vietnamese food, service is fast and very sweet. We got Bánh Cuốn Thịt & Bún Thịt Nướng Nem Nướng Chả Giò. We also got an avocado shake and a mango shake. All were simple and delicious, great for the price points.“

“Its a wonderful place to enjoy a hearty and authentic meal. I visited with friends, and we were impressed by the fresh ingredients and rich flavors in every dish. The staff was warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. I’ll definitely be coming back for more“

“Easily one of the best Vietnamese food around. Prior to moving here, we tried their Markham location and were instantly hooked. This place is even better. Despite tight parking and sometimes being super busy, we always had a good time here. Our fav is the bun thit nuong ca gio!!“

“New and beautiful Việt Restaurant in your area. I visited twice and each time the experience was great. Love the cozy atmosphere and decor. About the food, I tried the special Beef Pho and all the side dishes. Pho was yummy, chicken wings and fresh rolls are recommended ❤️“

“Loved the elevated Vietnamese food options and presentation and atmosphere.
Head and shoulders above other Vietnamese restaurants.
Prices slightly above regular prices. Definitely get what you pay for.
Service is wonderful. Great drink options.“

“Friendly staff and nice ambiance. Very clean and the staff was very attentive. Hoping it will stay that way specially the quality of their foods. We loved their Pho soup, Grilled chicken and pork chop with rice and most specially their fried spring rolls. Highly recommended!👍“

“Amazing Broth“

“If you're hungry and in a rush plus healthy food? Don't ever think twice and come dine here! My favorite vietnamese spot in Toronto, the Broken Rice! Quality of the food and service is top notch as always. Big potential to be a proper restaurant!“

“Some of the best Pho in the city! So happy the pandemic didn’t impact their recipe. Perfect dark brown, clear and fragrant broth containing tender rare beef, noodles and I add veggies. This was what I’d been craving during lockdown. As usual Viet Thai Kitchen didn’t disappoint! 10/10 recommended!“

“Everything is great from this place even portions are surprisingly huge, without sacrificing quality of the food. I love their decorations, my only complaint is the lack of space. I do understand theyre busy and want to seat as many people as possible, but wow people pass by 3-4 inches away from your food.

Still, great food. Highly recommend. During dinner, it might be some wait but its worth it.“

“Love this place! So happy we now have this restaurant in our neighbourhood! Friendly owners, very clean, fair prices and delicious authentic Vietnamese food!“

“A hole in the wall. Very small and unassuming restaurant. However, I loved the food! I had the PBK and it was amazing! I will forever come here if I ever have a Bo Kho craving. 🥰 Also tried the shrimp toast, which was delicious in and of itself, but the sauce it came with? Incredible. The restaurant was quite cold (note that I came here during the polar vortex, so I get that it was cold) so had to keep my jacket on during the entire meal. Would highly recommend!“

“Easily the best bahn mi in Toronto. Most of their bahn mi is priced at 5.50 - theres a great selection! Fresh bread and meats, everything is so tasty. Also tried their steamed buns - fresh sweet steamed buns, stuffed with savoury filling. I will be making frequent trips here! I cant believe theres no line. Its easily better than the stores in West Chinatown, and Scarborough.“

“been eating here for 4 years really amazing restaurant. always ordered the R4 before but has been changed to R5. which is the grilled chicken I add grilled pork chop and fried egg. As a chef this place is amazing cuisine is just so good.“

“I have tried many Pho restaurants. I went there with my son for lunch, we were absolutely amazed with the Pho. Broth, portion, toppings, taste was definitely one of the best. Our waiter was very hospitable, the restaurant was clean and well designed showing the Vietnamese culture! A definite must try! Also open until 4am!!!!“

“Great food and not too expensive!

Food - I have not ordered everything from Vietnam Lovely Noodle but I have ordered the Pho and one of the Curries. They are delicious. The portions are pretty large so you get a pretty good ratio between price and food. And if you cant finish you can always get it to go. When I was a student the curry was my go to meal either getting the rice or roti which was absolutely delicious. Food is also good to share with others.

Service - Service are great they are kind and last time I was there even gave me free croquettes. Additionally, I would usually wait for a takeout order and they always offered me water and tea.

Atmosphere - Atmosphere is good I would not say anything stands out I mean that in the best way. It can get busy but if you avoid peak hours you can catch the restaurant with not too much traffic.

Overall - Good food, good price, kind staff.“

“I think this is the only Vietnamese restaurant with this amount of selection of different types of snails. Also the Vietnamese pancake here was to die for if there's so many different menu options can't wait to go back and try different things everything was hitting. The banh cuon here was also fire usually I don't like that but here it's absolutely amazing.“

“This is our go to local pho place. We also love the grill chicken and pork on rice. The pork chop has the bone in, and it's nice a tiny bit fatty for that awesome lip smacking juicy and savoury grill taste. The soup for pho is very tasty. I really enjoyed their beef curry as well. You can't seem to go wrong with most dishes. They also have specials from 5-8 pm on Mon to Thurs, so their deep fried butter wings are half off. Delicious and crispy!!“

“My man surprised me last Saturday, March 14 with a trip to Ossington and told me we were going there for dinner. As we kept driving, he finally revealed that we were going to The Lunch Lady, and I immediately got so excited.
Our reservation was at 9:00 PM, but the restaurant called earlier to let us know they could seat us sooner. We ended up sitting right in the middle of the bar, which is exactly what we prefer because we love being able to feel the atmosphere, watch the action, and enjoy the energy of the space.
The bartenders were fantastic. Dave and Justine were incredibly welcoming and engaging. There was also another bartender who was helping other guests throughout the night, but unfortunately I didn’t catch his name because he was busy assisting customers.
Since it was our first time visiting, we had a few questions about the menu. Justine explained everything so well, and the storytelling behind the dishes made the experience even more exciting. The food absolutely did not disappoint. Every dish was amazing—the aroma, the texture, and the presentation were all outstanding. The servers were also great at presenting each dish and explaining what we were about to enjoy.
We chose the family-style option, which I highly recommend, especially if it’s your first time. It’s a great way to try different dishes and experience more of the menu.
We also had the chance to meet Benedict, the owner, who was going around checking on guests and making sure everyone was having a great time. That kind of hospitality really makes you feel welcome and at home.
Another memorable moment was meeting AJ, a kind regular who was sitting beside me at the bar. He even shared some of his food with us, which I happily tried. It was such a warm and genuine interaction.
This restaurant is not just about amazing food—it truly feels like a family. You can feel the camaraderie and positive energy throughout the whole place.
I’m already looking forward to our next visit.“

“Tiny restaurant. Always full but the tables turn over relatively quickly. Wonderful silky smooth Pho. Very nice Bun. And my favourite Laska Pho. Try the hot Vietnamese coffee with milk.“

“Delicious phô, friendly.“

“Best tasting pho I’ve tried. Bun cha was also very flavourful.“

Freshly opened and replacing another Vietnamese spot in East Chinatown, it serves to suitably fill in the void. The broken rice actually features broken rice, which has a unique aroma and more surface area to soak up the savory fish sauce.“

“I've been to Ca Phe Rang a handful of times since they opened, and my visit on November 10th was by far the best one yet. The pork belly spring rolls are great, as are the wings. Excellent service, thank you so much to the team for all their recommendations and attention to detail!“

“Came here for dinner the other night. Really good! I found their portions to be pretty big (for the pho dishes there were no size options but im sure you can let them know before hand if you have specific requests) We got their chicken pad thai, grilled chicken and pork vermicelli, and their house pho. Their pho broth was good, not to tangy or bland (it was a tad bit cloudy, for anyone who minds that about their broth iykyk) the toppings were perfectly balanced and you had a good amount of everything ☺️ the pad thai was great too! The noodles were perfect and not mushy (some places can get a bit past al dente 🤣) and the grilled vermicelli was soo good!! Definitely worth trying!! The staff here were so kind and helpful too so that's always a plus and the restaurant itself was clean 👌 including the restrooms. Overall, definitely a place worth trying and they have a great playlist too 😆 will come back when we're in the area!“

“I love this Vietnamese place. It's the best bang for your buck while still tasting authentic. The only one problem is if you get the older gentleman as the cashier, he will get your order wrong if you add any customization to your order; no mattet if he says okie or got it. The younger lady and the older lady will get it right.

Overall the best Vietnamese place around“

“I ordered the meat plate and it was delicious... well seasoned, and very satisfying. Had enough to take some back home. I did not try the pho this time, but based on the quality of the food I would come back to try it. Service was good, with a very attentive waiter.“

“Come here for the food not the atmosphere, as no frill as and as authentic as you are going to get in Chinatown.

C1. 福建米粉 aka Hokkien Noodles / Bún-mì-vàng Phúc-kiến

This very regional dish that is hard to find as this cuisine comes from a cross of the Fujian Region and Vietnamese Region coming together to formulate this dish. Traditionally this dish is served on the lighter side so the condiments such as the pickled garlic (a must) along with the fish sauce is to flavor to your preference as this dish is usually eaten a bit milder for the seniors.

The msg is a bit heavy so I don’t suggest to consume the soup too heavily, however do try at least half of it as it goes with the noodles and shrimp crackers very well.

The overall atmosphere is pretty hole in the wall like and they definitely need improvements on the interior and to get rid of that strong cigarette smell that comes into their shop. However if you are quickly coming here to grab takeout or a quick bite this is one of of my favorite spots to stop by for a nice unique bowl of noodles. If you do get takeout don’t forget the pickled garlic and maybe ask for a side of fish sauce as the broth might be a bit too mild for some. But do give them a shot and please support them as they are one of the few restaurants left that still makes this homey dish.

Hopefully they can make improvements, but for what it is, I’m not going to argue as other places in the area tend to give me a stomach ache and this place hasn’t, so come here for the food, not the atmosphere. And maybe stick with their specialty and don’t stray too far off on trying things they aren’t known for.“

“Their bun dishes are my favourite <3“

“Great Northern Vietnamese restaurant. Been here many times for dine in and take out. Staff have always been pleasant and food is delicious and portions are big.

FYI, they are temporarily closed until mid-September 2025. The hours on Google maps don't reflect this!“

“I love everything about this place! We've been coming here very often and everytime, they never fail to always give good service and food. The broth and beef is incredible and noodles are well cooked. I recommend this place to everyone and they all enjoyed it each time.“

“I’ve been coming here for years and it’s still one of my favorite spots in the city. The owner makes both the vegan and bone broths herself every night, using the same northern Vietnamese recipes she learned from her mom. You can really taste the care and balance in every bowl. It’s also one of the few places in Toronto with full vegan pho and vegan bánh mì, and they’re both excellent. Open late, run with heart, and always consistent. This place deserves a lot more love.“

“Not sure how I heard about this place, but I saved it as a place to try.

I kind of walked in with very low expectations and thought this was such a random location for a banh mi store. I always go for the OG so I ordered the assorted sandwich and thought it was really good as well as being reasonably priced ($7 w tax)

Would recommend and come back if I was in the area and craving a banh mi.“

“Amazing food here! I had tried calling to see if we could set up some daily pick up orders for my company but couldn't get an answer. Can someone call me back? (647)974-9991“

“Hands down the best BUN BO HUE in the city. The combination of spices and spiciness in the soup base really hit the spot. I substituted the beef shank and pork bone for lean rare beef. Been coming here for decades and will continue to come back for this soup, which is only served on weekends. Service was quick and easy.“

“I have heard about this place for awhile, but never get a chance to try. Finally, I am here for lunch and surprised.. I had pho and spring rolls and vietnamese Ice coffee..no need to say much..but for sure I am coming back very soon. Since my office nearby.
Oh by the way, server is so friendly taking orders professional.
👍“

“Very good food, I have good lunch ,coffee very good 👍 very enjoy myself ,come back soon“
