ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE ordered dinner here tonight some Pho came home with take out….1 beef ball and 2thin slices of beef and barely any noodles in it…….used to be my go to place I wouldn’t pay 3$ for my portion I received tonight let alone 20$…..to top it off my 2slices of beef were shiny so couldn’t even eat it. AVOID
A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Spring rolls done properly, overall quality of food is amazing. Friendly service, clean and upscale.
Great food
FIRST, ORDER THROUGH THE STORE!!!!!. I love my 303 and deep fried wontons. You cant ask for anything better so goooooood!!!!
Great service at the door too drivers are always nice and they have debit machines, cant wait to order again.
Yesterday, my kids and I had lunch at your restaurant. The soup was absolutely delicious, and my kids especially enjoyed the spring rolls and shrimp rolls. We had a wonderful dining experience. However, I accidentally left my wallet at the restaurant when paying the bill and didn’t realize it was missing until this afternoon around 4 PM.
Feeling anxious, I called the restaurant to ask about it. Your patience and kindness truly touched me. You reassured me not to worry and told me that my wallet was safely kept. When I arrived to retrieve it, I was relieved to find that all my IDs were intact. What moved me even more was that the $5,000 in cash inside was completely untouched! In a world where honesty and kindness can sometimes feel rare, your integrity and generosity deeply touched my heart and set a wonderful example for my children.
Thank you for not only making great food with care but also for treating your customers with love and sincerity. I sincerely wish your restaurant great success and prosperity!

Good Thai food , and close to the Arena.
2nd Gen Viet-Canadian who grew up eating at ALL of Toronto’s best OG spots: 5 Stars!!
The 🍜 pho I ordered came with rare beef, brisket, beef balls and tendon. All of it was amazingly done. The rare beef came at the perfect doneness— where the center of the top pieces was still rare (which you can cook more in the hot broth as desired!). The brisket was tender and the right amount of fattiness. Tendon was soft, flavorful, and a good compliment to the chewy beef. The beef balls were filled with flavor whilst having a reserved amount of fattiness so as to keep the flavor rich and dense.
The noodles were PERFECT. Thin, chewy, and boiled to the exact texture of pho that I love.
The broth was wonderful. I added chopped Thai chili peppers and chili satay. Note: their chili satay is worth the extra price. They make an earthy, slightly sweet and savory chili sate that adds a wonderful depth to your meal.
For appetizers I tried their spring roll and minced shrimp on sugar cane. The spring rolls texture was nice and golden with a crispy outside. The shrimp sugar cane was really fun to eat. As you bite off the shrimp you bite into the sugar cane for a nice contrast to the fish sauce.
5/5 and every review that is any less, is obviously not a Vietnamese person.
