“My go to place for pho and Vietnamese food. The service is super fast and always friendly. The restaurant is clean and the waiters pay attention to customers needs.I had fromPho to fried rice to grilled chicken and everything has been consistently fresh, good tasting and as advertised on the menu. Only weak point i found were the spring rolls that are too dry. Another nice surprise is pay cash and you save 10%.“
“We drove 5 hours to Toronto for a weekend break, arrived at the restaurant at 9:25pm. They showed their welcome greetings, settle everyone in a table with hot tea. Their hot and aroma pho soup was really a rejuvenation for us. They have a cleanest rest room, just like a home. Highly recommended.“
“I LOVE this place. I’ve tried so many pho places and this has become my GO TO, I usually always get the rare meat pho and my friend gets the pho combination and they’re both extremely delicious. The soup broth is really good, the environment looks super cute and CLEAN which is really important to me and they have really nice staff. Make sure to also get a Vietnamese coffee to go it’s very good!“
“Step into a world of tantalizing flavors at this vegan Vietnamese gem, where Vicky's warm hospitality elevates the dining experience. From savory pho to mouthwatering banh mi, every dish bursts with authenticity and plant-based goodness. Don't miss out on this culinary adventure – it's a must-try for vegans and foodies alike!“
“Was pleasantly surprised from what this little gem had to offer. Been hearing great reviews about this place and had to give it a try. Ordered the beef carpaccio with a side order of rice. Amazing and flavourful topped with a light salad on top. Made to share, or as an entree, I had to take some home because it was so much. Loved the flavour of the sauce mix with the meat. Great to eat with the shrimp crackers that come along with the meal as well. I recommend! Taro(Ube) latte ... yum!!!! Honestly thoroughly enjoyed this iced latte. Was recommended by our server to try it out. Not too sweet, but just the right amount of sweetness and caffeine kick that you need at your lunch hour, and complete a sweet compliment to your meal! Overall, great quality, service. Amazing selection. I'm am definitely coming back to this small gem again. Would highly recommend!“
“Came here tonight for the first time for dinner and was blown away. Amazing food, great portions and presentation was beautiful. We ordered the chicken wings, vietnamese spring rolls and the chicken and pork rice platter. Everything was phenomenal. Service was great as well. It was my dates first time trying vietnamese and he LOVED it. Was raving about the food the rest of the night. So glad we found this place and We will definitely be returning!“
“The one and only Vietnamese place my family go to. We have tried first their location in Richmond hill and got addicted. So happy since they’ve opened the location in Markham. Have been here since the opening. Their chicken wings are the lightest and the crispiest, pho is hearty and they always try their best even when they’re short-staffed. I took my fried my here once too , who has never tried Vietnamese cuisine and she was over the moon with the flavours and freshness.“
“I’ve came here since they opened, and still return whenever I’m in the neighborhood. Their beef pho has a certain sweetness I don’t find in other viet places.The staff were always nice and will explain what each food to you when you order. They will also check in on you to make sure all is well.When I do come though, I’d go for the specials. Currently, they are doing mix noodles which in my opinion are gigantic portions to eatThis restaurant is good for single or couples to drop by if dine in as it is a small shop. It is more a takeout spot. So don’t bring a family here to expect seating.Parking: The place is located at a strip mall beside a Popeyes, grocery store/salon. Parking space is limited.“
“I went to their grand opening and tried their spicy chicken bites. It was made to perfection. I had chicken bites or popcorn at other places. This place makes you want to come back more. I think on my next visit ..I will order something. Are there any plans to more locations??“
“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 ❤️“
“Pho is good and portion size is above average. Chicken wings are made just right, one of the best ones in the city. Mango salad, rice and other dishes never disappoint either.They also have picked garlic and chilies on each table as a bonus.“
“Pho was so good! Must try order house pho with a side of spring rolls. Service was on point even during busy dinner hour rush. Honey garlic wings with a side of sticky rice was so yummy it was gone before I could snap a picture of it. So many other things to try. Highly recommend.“
“My fam and I ordered the Pho & Bun Bo Hue. Pho was great and was generous w the meat portion; also had tendon and a meatball which is supposed to come w it, but other places tend to leave those out, so it was nice to see it was added. The Bun Bo Hue was fine, it was generous as well on portion size, only downfall was the broth was a bit underwhelming. Although it did still taste authentic, the broth could definitely use some more flavor! Location is open until midnight, which is good convenience for those who are having a later dinner or late night grub. The space is quite tight inside and can feel a bit cramped if it's a full house. Parking is ample and available in the lot and location is easy to find! Staff was quick, attentive, and friendly. We also didn't have to wait too long for the food, which was great. There is no automatic gratuity, so it's your discretion for tip value.“
“Usually skeptical about highly rated pho places after a bad experience at a famous joint that opened in Etobicoke...you can probably figure that one out. When I saw sweetness in the soup I was thinking I probably won't like it.The other reviews aren't wrong there is a sweetness to the soup. But it works and it's actually very delicious and not overwhelming like the other places.Definitely recommended will try sate and bone marrow next time.“
“Been here a few times and it's always quite good! The hoisin sauce and siracha with the flavorful broth and light noodle just can't go wrong. Makes you want to have one bowl after the next. The establishment is very clean and quick service. Would come here again!“
“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!“
“Unbeatable Pho Quality: As a pho enthusiast, I'm always on the hunt for the perfect bowl, and I've finally found it here. The broth is the heart and soul of any good pho, and this place nails it every time. Paired with tender cuts of meat and expertly cooked noodles, every bite is a symphony of flavors. With reasonable prices and generous portions, this establishment has secured its spot as my go-to pho destination."“
“By far, my number one Vietnamese pho. I won’t let anyone who loves Vietnamese pho not try it. I fell in love with the soup base. You can see a lot of real dried shrimps in the soup base. You won't be thirsty after eating it. I've tried five or six kinds so far, and I've basically never had any trouble. I like this kind of flour, it is thick, chewy and soft. Various soup bases are paired with this powder“
“The food is good, I tried pho and some fried rice and vermicelli dishes so far. The restaurant has the potential to give you a fine dining experience, but servants are a bit mechanical and the service definitely lacks any emotion for that type of experience. But the food is good, price is reasonable and it is usually busy.“
“Super cute Vietnamese spot in an unassuming plaza. My lemongrass chicken vermicelli bowl had a generous amount of well-seasoned grilled chicken thigh, and a good balance of vermicelli and fresh veggies. Iced coffee with condensed milk was a bit on the sweet side, but good and strong just like I like it. Great service, too!“
“This is the last place in Toronto with Banh Mi under $5. You'd be wrong if you thought you got what you paid for. I was surprised with the amount of meat and pate in it - alot! There are lots of varieties of banh mi ( i.e fried chicken, bbq pork, shredded chicken etc) that I will give a try next time. One note that the bun is on the crunchy side so if you like soft buns, this is not for you.They also sell rice as well but the sign is in Vietnamese, feel free to ask what is the special of the day ?“

“friendly small business shop with the best vegan vietnamese food i’ve ever tasted in town, sizes were generously large for cheap prices too - best dish was hands down their house special sandwich w/ lots of mock meat, wouldn’t skip this on your visit as a side meal“
“I often visit the Scarborough restaurant but have discovered the Vaughan location. Ocean is the very kind gentleman that serves us and our service, food and experience have only been positive!!! Thank you Ocean for always going above and beyond in making your customers happy!!!“
“This place used to be at the food court at Chartwell (brimley and huntingwood) Loved eating there before, but they closed about 8 years ago. Glad they reopened under Pho Street. This is my go-to place now for a quick bite. Delicious authentic vietnamese food.“
“The washrooms here are great. Lots of running water.The food is also fantastic! They provide a jug of tea.The service is great. The meat in the soup is nice and hearty. The portion sizes are large..for a big water , i couldn't finish it all even though it was so yummy.Would come here again.The establishment only takes cash or debit . Don't forget to bring those.“
“WOW. JUST WOW. Where do i even begin. 11/10 easily. The food is amazing, so amazing to the point where i feel tears run down my face every time I eat there. The food is ALWAYS fresh and the portion sizes are amazing for the price. You can tell that the food is made with a lot of thought and love. On top of having great food the customer service is extremely good, the employees are extremely friendly and kind. 11/10. HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

There was an offer, we got 2 for almost the price of oneService : the service was excellent and quick nothing wrong about itAtmosphere: a very nice place with a view on the street if you want to eat insideHighly recommended for drink lovers“

“First time trying this spot. Had a late night pho craving and they definitely delivered. I had the house special pho and the broth was very beefy and flavourful. Having oxtail and chicken in my pho was a new experience but definitely added a uniqueness to the dish. Definitely will be adding this to my go to pho spots.“
“The best place for PHO hands down! The service is FAST, everything is always clean, and the taste is amazing. Large portions as well and reasonably priced. Their new tea is also really good. I travel 30 mins to come here instead of my local pho “
“Huge menu. Good pho. I also enjoy their rice paper rolls. The service is amazing especially the front. The guy is always super friendly and makes you smile. It can get really busy weekday lunches due to the nearby high school. Paying cash is “
“Look at what we found at this store. I am now in trouble with my wife because she said they have everything that she loves. So far the beef jerky (khô bò) and Airdrie macaroni are delicious ?.Bonus: the lady and I believe her boss is very kind and nice“
“Really good pho that hits the spot, delicious and rich broth and piping hot. The amount of meat was adequate, but I can see why people would want more. A few more pieces would have been nice. We liked the new menu items. The Bun Cha HaNoi was really delicious, great charcoal taste, and fresh greens. I like that they have items that other restaurants don’t typically have. Prices are fair, and service is fast & accurate. I find the atmosphere comfortable, I actually like the music they play, classic karaoke hits.“
“We went in at off-peak hours and basically had the whole place to ourselves. The restaurant was clean. We were served jasmine tea while browsing through their menu.Our fresh rolls were made fresh as the battered shrimp was still hot to touch when it arrived at our table. The stock in the chicken pho was amazing and well flavored. The beef stock for the rare beef pho was average but still very good (just didn't stand out from other shops). Portions are more than fair - the regular bowl has really large portions in my opinion. I would definitely come back and enjoy another bowl on a cold winter day.“
“Clean, calming atmosphere, server had amazing positive energy, food was tasty and fresh. Will be going back!Vegetarian options: A separate section on the menu for vegetarian options; offer vegan broth for pho.Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegetarian optionsParking: Free parking on street after 6pm“
“Awesome place, when I moved here over a year ago this was the best possible find. They are consistent, clean, kind, and efficient. The food is always fresh and of great quality. I have never had a bad experience here, the only issue is that sometimes there's no seating because of how popular they are! Could not recommend more! It is definitely worth stopping in if you like Pho!“
“Delicious food and good service. Plating is of high quality, the atmosphere of the place is clean, organized, warm and welcoming, as well as comfortable seating. Definitely recommend this place.EDIT (JULY 2022): I'm a long-time regular customer ever since the restaurant opened its doors and this place is still hands-down the only pho store that I TRUST with the broth. Everything above from my previous review remains true, although the service could be better though. Faster service would do, but other than that, Pho Real is truly "real" with its authentic pho broth, that is incomparable to any other pho restaurants within the GTA. This is also coming from a Vietnamese :)“
“I stumbled upon a hidden gem! There's something truly special about discovering those cozy, hole-in-the-wall spots where you can taste the love and tradition in every bite. Grandpa and grandma cooking often holds the secrets to unforgettable flavors and comfort food at its finest. Enjoy the journey through deliciousness!“
“The food is always good here! The service is hit or miss and they still don't have washrooms available for customers, they've been "under construction" for months now.Vegetarian options: Tofu banh mi is pretty good and you can add habanero to it!“
“I eat here all the time with my mom and boyfriend on a religious basis. We love and recommend the rare beef/beef shank pho, and pork/chicken vermicelli with the spring rolls. I think the desserts are great! My mom likes the coconut dessert a lot. I like how they have various different condiments to choose from and I enjoy using the garlic and chilis instead of siracha.I enjoy how the staff remembers me, especially the girl in the hat with the ponytail! I never got her name but I wish I knew! After my mom didn't show up for a while due to injury, she asked me where she was so I appreciate that she cared. We used to go to the one across the plaza but this is my new fave spot to go to!“
“Friendly service with tasty food :”) We tried the Imitation Duck & Vegetable on Pan - Fried Noodle and the Veggie Salty Fish & Soy Chicken Fried Rice. The Noodle won us over and the Fried Rice was also delicious. The secret is that they have marinated bean curds and were skillfully processed to create a chewy and mouth-watering flavour.Honestly speaking, similar to what other reviews stated, the dishes are indeed pretty oily, however the green bean sprouts help balancing the taste so it’s not too bad. If you are used to Southeast Asian dishes then this would be right up your alley.“

“Been to a lot of pho restaurants and to be honest I’ve found them all the be the same in terms of the food and prices. The only difference I find is the place and the washrooms and this one takes the cake. Very clean washroom and great layout of the dining area.“
“This is a really good Vietnamese restaurant. The food is good and the portions are very filling. Pho has great flavour and there is quite a variety of meat options: ordinary beef and chicken, shrimp, to tripe and beef balls, fish balls and so on you can choose from.It's super close to Canada's wonderland and Vaughn Mills outlet and it's a short cab ride if you want to get out of the heat of the day for lunch! Definitely a go to spot when down in this area. Ample parking and very easy to access from the highway or Jane St.Parking: Lots of parkingKid-friendliness: Lots of Pho that kids can handleWheelchair accessibility: Washrooms are very clean and wide enough“
“I’ve been coming here for over 6 years. My partner took me here on one of our first dates. It’s been a hit for us ever since. The quality of service is amazing! The hospitality from the owners is an added bonus to the overall experience this restaurant offers. This establishment is forever grateful for any and all customers and it truly shows. My entire family loves coming here not only because of how loved we feel but also because we can bring friends for their first time and they feel the same way.The point of this review is to thank them for giving us an amazing place to come back to again and again! Xo“
“My family and I used to go here all the time, they have new owners now but they’ve kept the delicious flavours and authenticity alive. The Banh Cuon Dac Biet with the fried shrimp cupcake is so good, made so fresh. The Bun Mang Viet (bamboo and duck soup) is incredible. The sauce it comes with to dip the duck is full of flavour. One of my fave viet spots in Toronto.“
“Food is delicious. The Pho and the Bun are great. Thai food selection is also good - curry and chicken wings are very tasty. Great service from friendly staff, food comes fast and hot. Also very reasonably priced. Dinner for four with milkshakes under $50“
“I saw a tiktok of this restaurant and definitely had to check it out myself,The shop itself sells plenty of dried Viet goods that you rarely find elsewhere. There is a selective menu but Thuy Restaurant is known for their Bun Cha Ca, it was so homey and warming, it was so good!!Also got their shrimp fried rice, and fresh sugar cane juice. We were served and waited on by Thuy herself, she is so sweet and truly humble about her foodCan't wait to try the rest of the menuParking: The restaurant is part of a huge plaza that offers plenty of free parking“

“This place has THE most authentic Vietnamese food around. They serve the typical Pho, rice and vermicelli. But we come for their specialty hot pot and vinegar beef. Usually we order it as a combo, Bo 7 Mon (beef 7 ways). It starts with raw beef in a vinegar hot pot. They serve it with an abundance of veggies, herbs, and rice paper which you roll DIY and option of two special dips. Then comes their outstanding beef salad with cucumbers, carrots, onions and shrimp crackers. Next they bring out a trio of bbq'd beef (beef wrapped in vine leaves, marinaded beef and beef meatball). Lastly they bring out the classic Vietnamese shaken beef dish and a subtle beef congee. We were stuffed. Amazing meal for two. They also have some of the most amazing chicken wings as well but we had no room for it. Next time!“
“Check out @bredgyeats for more delicious food pics!Bun Cha Ca - The fried dill fish cakes are the star of the show in this one. A savory, oily fragrance paired with the bounciness of the fish paste, with the freshness of the dill alone makes the dish worth it.The pho is also no slouch either as the broth perfumes with a beefy aroma and a classic rice noodle texture.“
“Hadn't had Pho in a LONG time. This place hits it outta the park. Wonderful friendly staff, greeted with a Warm welcome. Promptly seated. Order taken within minutes. Piping hot green jasmine tea. The Pho and fresh toppings are amazing. Look forward to the next pho top up.“
“Came here with my family and ordered several items. The orders with the hot stone pot with the broth is pretty fun. You can cook the beef in the broth at your own pace. The heat in the broth retains pretty well. One if the broth got cold so we asked if they can heat it up and they let actually came back with another pot with full broth which is really nice. I got the Bun Bo Hue and it tasted great. My only complaint is that it didn't come with pigs blood and the 3 color drink had a bit too much ice in it. The prices are on the higher end but portions make up for the price. Everyone liked their food and I would definitely come back to try the other dishes.“
