50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near East York

“I order from this restaurant on Uber eats all the time. I am obsessed with their beef pad Thai, and the hot and sour soup is the most delicious soup I have ever tasted. I wish I were a little less expensive. I am keen to try their pho next.“

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

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

“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)“

“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.“

“Delicious food, large portion.“

“Dịch vụ tốt. Phở 😋ngon😋😋😋😋“

“I’m a regular at Nang Saigon, and it’s hands down one of the best pho spots in the city. The rib pho is unbeatable — rich broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and that huge rib that falls right off the bone. Every bowl has heart, and every visit is consistent.

I made the mistake of wandering over to that new, over-hyped Ossington spot everyone keeps talking about. Pricey, flashy, and more about appearances than substance — the kind of place built for buzz, not for flavor. It’s the textbook example of hype over heart.

Places like Nang Saigon are why it’s better to support real mom-and-pop shops instead of throwing money at the latest fad. They’ve been quietly serving quality pho day in and day out, and it shows. Easily a top 5 bowl in Toronto.“

“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.“

“Scarborough North just got a new gem — and it’s Pho Anh Vu’s latest location! This spot carries the same authentic flavours and warmth the brand is known for, now closer for Scarborough locals to enjoy.

The Chà Giò (spring rolls) were perfectly crisp on the outside, packed with savoury filling, and begging to be dipped into nuoc cham.

But it’s the soups that truly shine. The Phò Suon Bò Xí Quách was rich and hearty, with fall-off-the-bone beef ribs in a broth so flavourful it could stand on its own. The Phò Nąm offered comforting simplicity, while the Phò Tái Nąm combined rare tender beef with well-done flank for the perfect mix of textures in every spoonful.

Authentic, flavourful, and heartwarming — Pho Anh Vu Scarborough North is already proving itself to be a must-visit for pho lovers in the GTA. 🇻🇳✨

“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!!“

“This dish looks absolutely amazing 😩🔥 The grilled chicken is golden and crispy, the sticky rice with pâté and scallion oil is perfect, plus the hot soup make it a full combo. The staff are super friendly, service is quick, and the place is really clean, which makes the whole experience even better. 10/10 would finish every bite.“

“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 ❤️“

“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!👍“

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

“This little bánh mì spot is a hidden gem! It’s small, cozy, and unassuming, but the menu is packed with options. The grilled beef sandwich is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Prices are more than fair, especially for the quality and portion size. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or taking a few to go, this place delivers. Definitely one of the best bánh mì spots in the city.“

“Amazing Broth“

“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!“

“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.“

“I probably order from Vit Beo virtually once week. They're so good that let's put it like this: I love sprouts with my pho. Vit beo is the only viet place I know that doesn't serve them w pho (or hoisin for that matter). I could easily order pho from any other place in the city and get all the accoutrements, but the quality of Vit's broth and beef is so damn high, that instead, I go out of my way to separately buy all accoutrements while grocery shopping on Saturday so that I can have them with my Vit pho takeout. Also, don't miss out on the chicken Banh Mi--it's SO awesome with extra kewpie and meat! Staff are super friendly, and again, their ingredient quality is extremely high, pure, and fresh. The smaller menu means WAY better ingredients and attention to detail. Definitely a must try!“

“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.“

“There's a new wave of Vietnamese restaurants opening in Toronto but this place by far is the best. New food items that you won't see at other places. The ambiance is great and beautiful. Staff are polite and friendly. Definitely try this place. They are opening other locations too.“

“Came here for lunch to support a local business (and had a discount coupon). Got the butter beef broken rice bowl. The portions of meat is very generous and the freshness of the veggies made the dish very high quality. It’s alot of rice and for the discounted price, it was well worth it. I would come here again to try the other meats. One complaint is that there are no non-meat options. I came with my colleagues and some didn’t end up getting anything because of dietary restrictions. Should add a tofu option to menu.“

“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!“

“Had the vermicelli with lemongrass chicken & spring rolls. The toppings were so delicious! Super flavourful and juicy. The sauce they gave was too little so I had to ask for extra. The noodles they used were misua noodles, not vermicelli. It was busy so service was a bit slow. Price is really good for the portion size!“

“I’m a huge fan of Vietnamese food and have been eating it all over the GTA and beyond—Scarborough, downtown Toronto, Mississauga, Guelph, Kitchener, Waterloo—since the 80s. Pho Quinn instantly shot into my top three after just one visit.

The menu is full of the street-food classics: pho, vermicelli bowls, rice plates. It had been a while since I’d had Viet, so I stuck to the basics. Started with rice paper spring rolls (the fresh ones). Thick, simple, generous shrimp, and a peanut sauce that was exactly right. Then shrimp paste on sugar cane—and you could actually taste fresh shrimp. Big thumbs up.

For the main, I went with a vermicelli bowl: grilled chicken, deep-fried spring roll, the usual mix of noodles, carrots, cucumber, greens, and Thai basil. The chicken had a nice hint of lemongrass, just enough to stand out. The spring roll was decent, even if I wasn’t totally sure what was inside.

The space looks better than your typical no-frills Vietnamese spot. Dark wood, cozy booths, still casual, but a level up. Service was exactly what I expect from a solid Viet restaurant: friendly, attentive, no hovering.

This was my first Vietnamese outing in a while, and Pho Quinn hit that sweet spot: good prices, clean and comfortable, and a menu that feels fresh without trying too hard. There’s a cheaper spot closer to me, but it looks a little… questionable. Here, dinner for two with tip was around $50—even with me over-ordering appetizers and taking some home. In today’s world, that’s a steal. And honestly, I’d have paid double at many Chinese restaurants for food nowhere near this good.

Vietnamese places just know how to deliver quality—and Pho Quinn is proof. I will be coming back for the Pho which for me is always the test of a Vietnamese restauant.“

“Had the lunch menu the Food was delicious the whole table loved every dish. The service was good but not on par with the quality of food the kitchen is putting out. I guess in the end we came for the food and it was amazing. Definitely will go again and try the dinner menu next time.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Their bun dishes are my favourite <3“

“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.“

“This feels like a hidden gem because it’s always so quiet in there, but this is a great example of one of those good simple family owned Vietnamese places. I’ve had a few things on the menu and everything tasted very fresh, high-quality and delicious. In the winter this is one of my favourite places for pho, and I’m very partial to their vermicelli bowls. Service is always friendly and efficient and the place is always clean and inviting.“

“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.“

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

“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.
👍“

“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“
