One of my favourites in the Spadina/Dundas Chinatown neighborhood. The banh hoi platter is amazing!

For the price, the meal was quite solid. My only complaint was that the rice was a bit dry, which made me think it wasn’t freshly made. The meat however tasted good, but the noodles on the side were also a little dry.
On the bright side the portion size was massive! We went for the XL noodles, and it was definitely big enough to serve 2-3 people. The atmosphere was clean and had a moderate level of noise, and the staff was attentive. Just a heads-up—the restaurant is on the second floor, so you will need to take the stairs to reach it.

The food is okay.
The noodle in pho is a thick rice noodle, and it all falls/cuts apart when I grab them.
Pho with served with fresh noodles, good portion, even cheaper than most Markham Pho restaurants. Environment is nice. Staff is super helpful and friendly.

I've been a long-time customer of over 20 years, and this restaurant has definitely changed within the last couple of years. We are never coming back, nor do we recommend this place to anyone. The level of customer service was horrible. The staff are rude and speaking of hygiene, it's close to none. We lost our appetite because we found a long white hair embedded into our springroll. We addressed it to the staff, and instead of sincerely apologizing and making the situation right for the customer, they lie and make all kinds of excuses such as it was taro or beans sprout. Quite ridiculous, and they said no one here has white hair. They don't take any ownership of these types of situation. The food quality was very poor. The chicken pho was not authetic. It's water down, salty, and the meat was extremely dry. At this rate, i can't see how this establishment will stay in operation. Lastly, the cashier tried to scam us by overcharging our credit card $340!

Great place to get pho
Came 40min before it close so they rush the pho and add water to it or something. The pho taste really plain just like boiling water got add with some old broth. Only had about 5min left to eat my pho still have 30min until restaurant close. I only took 2 sips of the broth and 1 bit at the pho and left unsatisfied. This place used to be my favorite before covid happen.

Good Vietnamese joint on Spadina. Entrance is a bit hidden. Atmosphere is good, service is good. Food came out fast. Will come back to try other options.

Rice dish looked unappetizing, pho had no flavor. Restaurant was very clean though so maybe that was the only good thing.
Decent pho and barbecue beef/chicken.

Broth is good. Beef good. Pork chops good. But they NEVER add the hot and Hoysein sauce!!!!!! Plus, this happened 3 times, that I ordered XL size and I got the normal size. BEWARE. Do NOT get scammed on the UberEats sizing option

toronto objectively has terrible pho so by objective standards this place gets a 6/10 but by toronto standards i'd say it's a 7.5/10. the pho is ok but the bun bo hue is not good
-fresh pho noodles
-good options for customizability
-ample seating without feeling crowded
-ideally pay with cash
