Tried this place twice on UberEats. Most food tasted nice.
However, Bun Rieu is utterly disappointing. I have never seen a restaurant serving Bun Rieu would put IMITATION CRAB in the dish. It is not authentic at all.
Also, chopsticks provided are the worst ones you can get. They are the ones you always get splinters from.
Bun Rieu and the chopsticks can show that this place is cost-cutting, meaning it is going to the wrong side of being authentic.
Edit:
To owner, not able to source real crabs is not an excuse that you can use imitation crab instead, which is from white fish. I know certain restaurants are able to find blue crabs.

I felt scammed in here, just had a chicken vermicelli, I asked if what the spring roll is made from, because I don’t eat pork. So she changed it to vegetarian spring roll. When I got the bill, I was charged $4 extra for the change. The waitress didn’t mention anything about that. I could have given this spring roll to my partner and reordered a new vegetarian one or just ordered something else. I felt being ripped off and they’re not very honest about their hidden additional fees. So please make sure to check your bill before you pay. The portion was really small, I had more bean sprouts then vermicelli

Came here for the Pho and was satisfied! Broth was tasteful, noodles were thick, the cuts of meat were good. The price is fair for what you get. The family owned vibes. Atmosphere was very chill and the lady that served us was very nice. Can’t wait to be back to try out the vermicelli. I like how they had pictures for the top food items! Very helpful. Keep up the good work!!

Absolutely blown away by this place – hands down the best Vietnamese food I’ve ever had.
What truly made the experience unforgettable was the hospitality. The restaurant owner personally came by to check on us, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome, like guests in their own home. Warm, attentive, and kind – they went above and beyond to make sure we had a perfect meal.
This place is a gem. I’ll definitely be back, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Sorry to say, but this was the most bland $19 fried rice I have tasted in years. The grocery store rice I got from my Metro $10 meal had more flavour.

Me and my wife love ordering from this place. I appreciated them for cutting a bit of mango for free for our kid when we dined it couple of times.

I ordered pho for take out. Customer service was quick and friendly. The pho tasted really good. I also like that it was given to me in a bowl-shaped container for take out, which made it easier for me to serve, since not all pho restaurants do this.

We've been coming to Pho Bo To for over 20 years—it’s a family favorite! Chef Hien is the sweetest, always so warm and welcoming. I love the grilled chicken and pork with steamed rice, my husband devours the Rare Beef Rice Noodle Soup to the last drop, and our daughter always looks forward to the chicken fried rice. It’s our go-to Vietnamese spot—comforting, delicious, and full of heart. 🍜❤️ #PhoBoTo #VietnameseEats #TorontoFoodies #FamilyFavorite #SupportLocal
I'm obsessed with the soup. It's my favorite.
I highly recommend it.
This place didn't look inviting from the outside, at least to me, at first. But that day we decided to give it a try (because the one we usually go to was closed), we couldn't be happier because the food quality is high. The service is warm and friendly and humanly. We went there again 2 more times and were still impressed. There will be the 4th the 5th... I believe.
