50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near East York

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

“A nice Vietnamese place in Pape Village and a nice change within the many dominant Greek restaurants in the area.

The interior is nice and the place is always kept clean. The times I've been here, the food is always good. Pho is definitely worth it here.

Critiques I have of this place could be that music could be played or something, or even a radio channel. The place is kept dead silent, so the atmosphere could be very awkward if no one's talking. Or you could very much be able to eavesdrop on another table's conversation. On the off chance, the staff could be playing some Vietnamese news in the background, but that's pretty much it.
Staff could also try to be more on the friendlier side. They aren't rude, more so cold and straightforward.

Despite everything, I'd still come back here just for the food.“

“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.“

“Clean, good portion and excellent broth. They also have lots of other options, such as various rice and vermicelli dishes. I highly recommend this place! 🥰“

“My girlfriend and I recently visited this restaurant and had a great experience. The staff was polite and accommodating, and the service was excellent. I ordered the rare beef soup, and she initially chose the seafood soup, but later decided she wasn’t in the mood for it. The staff kindly replaced it with the same beef soup I had, which she ended up enjoying.

The shrimp roll we shared was delicious, and when it came time to pay, we were pleasantly surprised that they didn’t charge us for the returned seafood soup. I mentioned leaving a Google review, and they even offered us a complimentary juice (normally $7–9).

Overall, we enjoyed the food and service and will definitely return. Pro tip: mention a Google review, and you might score a free juice too!“

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

“Delicious food, large portion.“

“We ordered the chicken pho and chicken rice, and both dishes were good, featuring generous portions of quality meat. While the flavours were satisfying, we’re giving 4 stars because we’ve had more flavourful broth and preparation at other places. The restaurant itself was clean and inviting, and the service was quick and friendly.

Dietary restrictions: They were able to accommodate gluten-intolerance without any issues.“

“I can’t stop thinking about the flavors at this place—they’ve truly left a mark! The dishes are vibrant, fresh, and packed with that crave-worthy flavor that sticks with you long after you leave. The prices? Fantastic, making it a go-to for dine-in or takeout.

And I’ve got to shout out the cabbage chicken slaw with fish chips—it’s hands down the best thing I’ve eaten all year! Seriously, do yourself a favor and get it. This spot nails it on all fronts, from bold flavors to great prices. I’ll be back (probably way too often)!“

“Delicious food, large portion.“

“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“

“Delicious food, nice atmosphere.“

You know when you dream about wonderful food and sometimes it's not as good the second time around? Well, this was not the case with Que Ling. It was super delicious once again when we returned a few days later. Went back because I kept dreaming about that rich pho broth, which is life changing.

This time we showed some restraint and managed to snap a pic of #1 Vietnamese Steamed Rice Rolls with Meat before we dug in.

Ordered as well:
#9 Rare Beef & Tendon Rice Noodle Soup
#25 BBQ Meat, BBQ Pork Sausage & Spring Rolls with Vermicelli
#4 Pickled Lime on Ice

Portions are generous. All ingredients are fresh and dishes are flavourful.

Service is fast. Meal with tax and tip was under $55.

They have limited seating, so, no lingering after the meal. There is patio seating in warmer weather. They have a lot of take-out orders.

Love this place! What a great start to the new year.

Homemade Vietnamese food is like a warm hug on this cold Boxing Day 2024.

Went there for lunch today and the place started to fill up quickly. It is not a large place but who cares. The food is amazing!

We ordered:
#1 Vietnamese Steamed Rice Rolls with Meat
#3 Que Ling Special Rice Noodle Soup
#25 BBQ Meat, BBQ Pork Sausage & Spring Rolls with Vermicelli
#1 Vietnamese Iced Coffee with Condensed milk

And, because we are porky piggies, we saw a photo on the wall of a bao filled with pork & a boiled egg, so, we ordered it. It was bigger than our face and delicious.

Every dish - yes, every dish - was fresh as hell and delicious.

Service was friendly and fast. Shout-out to Angel who works hard to make this family business a success.

Cash only. Lunch for 2 (with enough food to feed more) was $60 with tax and tip. Bargoon!

We'll be back!“

“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 ❤️“

“Amazing Broth“

“Inside Bridlewood mall September 6/24 - late lunch, casual dining
- The best Beef Pho noodle soup we ever had, the broth was so tasty, plenty of tender slices of beef and the rice noodles were excellent
- very good tasting and crispy fried spring rolls
- skip the greasy and salty tasting fried tofu
- very tasty and tender grilled chicken ( well marinated in lemon grass) with steamed rice, one of the best we've had
- good and friendly service
We will definitely come back and we highly recommend this place

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian spring rolls and tofu with vegetables“

“My girlfriend and I came to The Lunch Lady of Saigon on Ossington for our anniversary, excited to support this new, elevated take on Vietnamese cuisine. The service was truly amazing, especially from our server, Nicole. She was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely curious about the food. She mentioned she’s still new to Vietnamese cuisine but is learning a lot, and even shared an interesting fact about how MSG was unfairly villainized in the West due to racial stigma, something we really appreciated as it showed care and cultural awareness.

The space itself is beautiful, modern and stylish, very much what you’d expect from a trendy Ossington spot. The beef carpaccio was a delicious Vietnamese twist on the classic dish and started the meal on a high note. We both ordered the house special wagyu pho, which included beef cheeks, oxtail, and bone marrow. While the wagyu and marrow were rich and tasty, the broth lacked the depth and punch we’re used to from more traditional pho spots. The noodles felt oddly short, and some of the meats were so tough they were nearly inedible.

Still, I’m glad a place like this exists. It feels like a good entry point for people who might be new to Vietnamese food, and I hope it inspires more folks to explore the cuisine further. I’d come back for the ambiance, drinks, and to show friends a cool spot, but probably not just for the pho.“

“Pho is amazing....loved it...

The porkchop....presentation is good, price is alright but like Ossington's Pho shop, it falls short against Pho Hung's Pork Chop rice.

But all in all it's a nice place to eat.

5% off is paying with cash“

“A more premium Viet place, lovely ambiance and decor.
Between two people, shared the tossed beef salad, golden glazed wings (has salted egg yolk, comes with garlic bread which was meh), and Vietnamese pork sausage banh mi (it's a warm sandwich, I like how the pickled veg was more finely grated vs standard). Everything was delicious!“

“The best Banh mi in town it never disappoints. I love the fresh rolls. It takes a lot of time to make. So why not just buy them instead. I got there ealry before they ran out. Getting there for 9am was perfect. The banh mi bread was fresh and crunchy. The bao was also nice and warm. I was happy with my lunch. The server was friendly and polite. The prices were reasonable and the portions were good.“

“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!👍“

“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.“

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

“Cozy and nice interior inside the restaurant within Woodside square mall plaza. Dined in on Thursday afternoon for lunch and I ordered Phở Dặc Biệt Small ($15.95) and Vietnamese Iced Coffee - Cà Phê Đá ($5.99) served in a takeout cup. Wish they added more beef balls and beef tripes in my bowl. My second time dining at this restaurant and they only accept cash or debit!“

“Nice place for a quick, solo lunch. Stopped by here on a whim, definitely not disappointed. Service was friendly and quick, I was immediately notified that they were running a lunch only menu during the time
I ordered (around 1 pm). Not a ton of seating space, definitely come here if it’s just 1 or 2 of you dining. Will return for sure.“

“My dining experience at La Pho was great! The restaurant environment is comfortable and the waiters are friendly and enthusiastic. The dishes are fresh and delicious, especially their Vietnamese Pho, which has a rich soup base and rich toppings that will leave you with endless aftertaste. It is worth mentioning that their spring rolls are also very delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Highly recommended to friends who like Vietnamese food! I will definitely come again!“

“Service was quick and very attentive to my requests. Had this refreshing spring roll & grilled chicken cold noodle dish….so good I came back the next day to eat it again! Also ordered the spring roll which was delicious. Couldn’t be happier to find a great local Vietnamese spot and can’t wait to try more of their menu“

“I live in the neighbourhood and have never tried this until today. I’m glad I did as this one will now be one of my go to places for food. We ordered their grilled pork chop and pho lang van and both were amazing. The pho had a really good broth and very much enjoyed it especially we went during winter. Generous portions too. The staff is friendly and service is great. I highly recommend this place and would definitely come back.“

“Amazing food, fast service and had good vibes but it was kind of weird hearing staffs swear. The restaurant is fairly small and quiet since I visited early in the morning and staffs were chatting and swearing loudly. Probably wouldn't bring kids here, but overall really enjoyed my meal.

We got the big platter and mango salad, was too much for 2 people. Also an egg coffee. Food was good, chao tom was okay but everything else was excellent, especially good seasonings on the meat. Portion also didn't disappoint.

Dietary restrictions: They asked about any allergies which was nice“

“We came here after seeing all the good reviews. We were craving pho or hot noodle soups during the cold weather.

We tried their special pho and spicy noodle ( bun bo hue). Their pho was good, their noodles tasted like fresh noodles, it was more bouncy. The bun bo hue was pretty good. It was one of the best ones I have tried, super flavourful and very umami.

I like that they also serve you hot tea, the tea tasted interesting, like taro flavour.

The service is decent here. It’s a family run business. It felt homey here. The only down side is they don’t do tap or credit cards here. Only cash or debit, I believe they do an extra charge for credit cards.

Overall recommend this place for some good food.“

“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.“

“Came here for dinner and got the ayce Pho with a friend. The menu was a little confusing as it makes it seem like you are limited to 1 protein from the list of ingredients listed under ayce pho. Essentially for the ayce pho, when you order it, it’ll come with everything listed under the name of whichever ayce pho you order on the menu. This includes things like the pork and seafood toppings that are listed below some of them. It is included.

Make sure to let your server know if you don’t want any of the topping options on the list as ours ended up bringing out everything including vegetables and things we weren’t too keen on eating.

The pho broth was a bit too salty for our liking but I appreciate the variety of toppings given to us.

Service was fine and it wasn’t very busy when we went.“

“The food is always fresh and the service is always great!“

“I made a random stop here for Pho. This place turned out to be a hidden Gem! Super calm, super clean small place with decent food that matches the price very well. The Gentleman which I believe was the owner/manager, kept sweeping the floor, kept asking everyone is all is good. He noticed the limes for the Pho were small, so he gave us two more slices. The food also came with crispy rice cakes on the side which definitely added value. I never tried a Pho place that offers a basket of rice cakes! After we paid cash for the payment the Gentleman offered us complimentary free drinks or pumpkin pies. Definitely recommend??“

“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!“

“This place offers good food at a very good price. The pho broth is pretty flavourful. I dont believe the taste is very authentic but it really does the job. I got their BBH, decent amount of noodles and toppings. Good amount of meat. The broth is deep in flavour, not as spicy as I wanted it to be.

Parking: Large amount of spots.“

“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.“

“Follow @bredgyeats for more food pics!

A small shop with a wide variety of Vietnamese eats, that take me back to my time in Vietnam. From giant steamed baos stuffed with Chinese sausage, egg and pork, to a mung bean and mochi sticky rice, to tapioca dumplings, to pork dumplings, to pretty much everything else I can crave, they seem to have it despite the small location.“

“Wow, just wow! This pho is simply outstanding. The depth of flavor in the broth is unmatched, and the combination of different textures is fantastic. It's clear that a lot of care and attention went into preparing this dish. I highly recommend it“

“The food is delicious. It keeps getting better with every visit. Our favourite place in the neighborhood!“

“I went in on a Sunday afternoon & asked for something a little specific off the menu. Jessica was a sweetheart and accommodated for me. She was so sweet and the broth I was served was authentic & delicious. Thank you Jessica! If you want an authentic home cooked viet meal this is it!“

“Delicious phô, friendly.“

“The food was fresh and flavorful, especially the pho, which has a rich, authentic broth and generous portions. Tim, our sever, was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. His warm and attentive approach really added to the overall experience. Highly recommend for both the food and the service!“

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

“Thật tuyệt vời chocác tín đồ cú đêm . Đồ ăn , thức uống đa dạng tươi ngon 😋 vừa miệng,đặt biệt mở cửa 24/7“

“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“

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

“⸻

One of my all-time top 3 pho spots in Toronto. 13 years ago, this was where I had my very first bowl of pho after arriving in Canada — and I still remember how comforting it was. Today, even with sky-high inflation, their prices remain incredibly fair, and there’s no tipping required. It’s rare to see a place stay so consistent in both quality and value. This five-star review is long overdue. Thank you for being part of my journey all these years.“

“What a fantastic restaurant! We were travelling from Ottawa and found this place while scoping the ends of instagram. The fish sauce wings were to die for along with the chili shrimp bahn mi. The service was amazing and we look forward to coming again soon!“
