50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Toronto

“The food and coffee at Cà Phê Rang are honestly good and clearly made with care. But I have to mention how unbelievably hot the facility was. I can't imagine how the staff manage to work under those conditions. They deserve a better environment, especially given how hard they’re working.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious food, nice atmosphere.“

“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)!“

You know when you dream about wonderful food and sometimes it's not as good the second time around? Well, this was not the case with Que Ling. It was super delicious once again when we returned a few days later. Went back because I kept dreaming about that rich pho broth, which is life changing.

This time we showed some restraint and managed to snap a pic of #1 Vietnamese Steamed Rice Rolls with Meat before we dug in.

Ordered as well:
#9 Rare Beef & Tendon Rice Noodle Soup
#25 BBQ Meat, BBQ Pork Sausage & Spring Rolls with Vermicelli
#4 Pickled Lime on Ice

Portions are generous. All ingredients are fresh and dishes are flavourful.

Service is fast. Meal with tax and tip was under $55.

They have limited seating, so, no lingering after the meal. There is patio seating in warmer weather. They have a lot of take-out orders.

Love this place! What a great start to the new year.

Homemade Vietnamese food is like a warm hug on this cold Boxing Day 2024.

Went there for lunch today and the place started to fill up quickly. It is not a large place but who cares. The food is amazing!

We ordered:
#1 Vietnamese Steamed Rice Rolls with Meat
#3 Que Ling Special Rice Noodle Soup
#25 BBQ Meat, BBQ Pork Sausage & Spring Rolls with Vermicelli
#1 Vietnamese Iced Coffee with Condensed milk

And, because we are porky piggies, we saw a photo on the wall of a bao filled with pork & a boiled egg, so, we ordered it. It was bigger than our face and delicious.

Every dish - yes, every dish - was fresh as hell and delicious.

Service was friendly and fast. Shout-out to Angel who works hard to make this family business a success.

Cash only. Lunch for 2 (with enough food to feed more) was $60 with tax and tip. Bargoon!

We'll be back!“

“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.“

“good food and wonderful staff!“

“My girlfriend and I came to The Lunch Lady of Saigon on Ossington for our anniversary, excited to support this new, elevated take on Vietnamese cuisine. The service was truly amazing, especially from our server, Nicole. She was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely curious about the food. She mentioned she’s still new to Vietnamese cuisine but is learning a lot, and even shared an interesting fact about how MSG was unfairly villainized in the West due to racial stigma, something we really appreciated as it showed care and cultural awareness.

The space itself is beautiful, modern and stylish, very much what you’d expect from a trendy Ossington spot. The beef carpaccio was a delicious Vietnamese twist on the classic dish and started the meal on a high note. We both ordered the house special wagyu pho, which included beef cheeks, oxtail, and bone marrow. While the wagyu and marrow were rich and tasty, the broth lacked the depth and punch we’re used to from more traditional pho spots. The noodles felt oddly short, and some of the meats were so tough they were nearly inedible.

Still, I’m glad a place like this exists. It feels like a good entry point for people who might be new to Vietnamese food, and I hope it inspires more folks to explore the cuisine further. I’d come back for the ambiance, drinks, and to show friends a cool spot, but probably not just for the pho.“

“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.“

“The best Banh mi in town it never disappoints. I love the fresh rolls. It takes a lot of time to make. So why not just buy them instead. I got there ealry before they ran out. Getting there for 9am was perfect. The banh mi bread was fresh and crunchy. The bao was also nice and warm. I was happy with my lunch. The server was friendly and polite. The prices were reasonable and the portions were good.“

“I wasn’t going to write this. Vit Beo feels like a secret I’ve been keeping. It’s the kind of place you want to keep secret all just for yourself. But I have to share it. This place is awesome. It’s not just the food (though the food — god, the food — deserves poems). It’s the feeling. Sitting alone at the counter feels like being in another city — set somewhere humid and humming. The service is impeccable and they cook insanely fast. I think I’ve had everything on the menu. The congee is my favourite — it’s warm and deeply nostalgic. The PBK is wild — unhinged and addictive. The cucumber salad is the best. And the fried rice is amazing and has that chewy crunch you really want fried rice to have. The pho is good, the kho quet chicken is sweet and yummy, the shaking beef is a smash hit. I’ve had food on busy nights with friends and I’ve had meals here alone sitting on the counter, looking out at the rain, and listening to the good music that the staff plays (good vibes eating here solo — hot tip for the introverts out there). Love it here.“

“Their bun dishes are my favourite <3“

“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.“

“Amazing Broth“

“Such amazing food here! I dream about their tofu vermicelli under I come again. Such great, friendly staff! Highly recommended.“

“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.“

“Service was quick and very attentive to my requests. Had this refreshing spring roll & grilled chicken cold noodle dish….so good I came back the next day to eat it again! Also ordered the spring roll which was delicious. Couldn’t be happier to find a great local Vietnamese spot and can’t wait to try more of their menu“

“Absolutely blown away by their Lemongrass Grilled chicken on broken rice! The juiciness of the chicken paired with the coconut broken rice was absolutely magical. The variety of veggies they offered was an pleasant bonus. The only negative is that they're isn't any seating, but would still recommend to anyone in the city!“

“Pho Lang Van is an absolute gem! The broth is incredibly rich and flavorful — the kind that warms you to your core with every sip. Presentation is spot-on: vibrant herbs, crisp vegetables, and perfectly cooked noodles, all served in a clean and inviting setting. The B02 was a standout, beautifully balanced in taste and texture. Fresh, tasty, and made with clear attention to detail.

Special thanks to Jason, our server, who was excellent — attentive, friendly, and made the whole dining experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“Super clean place with a ton of variety and friendly service. We got the marinated beef with vermicelli and the wonton egg noodle soup and both were delicious. Very fair prices with big portions. They only had 2 servers when we were there and it was pretty busy so we didn’t get our drinks until we had already finished our food, but the servers were very nice and apologetic.“

“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!“

“A hidden gem for vegan/vegetarian food!! I have been getting their bbq mock banh mi for $4 on uber special and it has been my favourite, my go to vegan restaurant for Vietnamese food as well as cheap eats!! Thank you for being vegan food so tasty and affordable 🫶❤️“

“Follow @bredgyeats for more food pics!

A small shop with a wide variety of Vietnamese eats, that take me back to my time in Vietnam. From giant steamed baos stuffed with Chinese sausage, egg and pork, to a mung bean and mochi sticky rice, to tapioca dumplings, to pork dumplings, to pretty much everything else I can crave, they seem to have it despite the small location.“

“Great eatery full of high quality products different from a typical Vietnamese restaurant; the owner Linda is such a sweetheart who puts her her heart and soul into this business and deserves more recognition fher hardwork in making the food as tasty and healthy as it could be,I hope to see this place thrive for all the hard work they out into their food“

“There are many pho places but this is the only place I know that has laksa noodle soup!!! Had it many times……! I’ve been coming to this place for the past five years.
Relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff. Free icecream or drink for cash payment over $17. Happy customer!“

“Delicious phô, friendly.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Food is absolutely delicious. Arguably the best pho in the city, personally I agree. New location, thus a clean atmosphere. It's very busy at most times but the line goes by quickly. The price is on the higher end, but justified by the ingredients, portion and taste.“

“very good ngon ngon ngon“

“very good ngon ngon ngon“

“Ao far every time I've been here, been great
#4&44 are absolute a must try dish
Had 13 today, it was decent a little too oily for my liking, but not as good as 4&44.

Pricing did go up since my last visit but still reasonable.“

“I ordered from them sate noodle soup, Shrimp spring rolls, and iced lemon tea. OMG, all 3 items were finger licking, specially the spring rolls.

Don’t try the noodle soup with veggies.

Definitely I would love to go here again.“

“We enjoyed a lovely dinner here! The beautiful decor and colourful lanterns set a nice ambience. The staff Paula was warm and friendly. We started the meal with a refreshing and delightful shrimp and lotus shoot salad, which was followed by spring rolls, fresh rolls with pork sausages, famous beef pho, and seasoned pork on vermicelli. The food is rich in flavour but never heavy. The price is very reasonable. Staff is warm and responds to us promptly. Highly recommended!“

“The food is delicious. It keeps getting better with every visit. Our favourite place in the neighborhood!“

“Đây là tiệm chả bò hương vị Việt trên đất Toronto, Canada của em họ mình. Mọi người ủng hộ em nó nuôi con😉.“

“Excellente cuisine, très savoureuse, ingrédients très frais, atmosphère très agréable! Loved it!“

“Nicest owner, very kind lady. Prices are reasonable - she does prefer cash, but does take both debit and credit for a small (reasonable) fee of $0.50. Has a wide selection of drinks that you can't normally find in other stores as well - I picked up a couple of basil seed drinks.“

“My boyfriend and I tried Banh Mi Ba Le the other day—we both got the special beef bowl, a small ($13) and a large ($15), which includes beef, beef ball, and tripe. The lady who took our order was very sweet, she was recommending a few of their specialties, including the special beef. When we got our bowls, we received the first bowl, which appeared to be the small, then the second bowl, which was significantly smaller. The portion sizes were not what we were expecting. Regardless, they were quite tasty—yummy noodles and delicious broth. However, I was disappointed to find that even though we ordered the same special beef bowl, just different sizes, my bowl didn't include any tripe. Overall, the staff is super sweet, and the special beef bowl is delicious. Maybe opt for the large as it's only $2 more than the small.“

“Unfortunately it’s true. You do not come here for the vibe or service. There’s a lady there known for being indifferent. Very unhappy individual but the food is pretty damn good. It’s my local viet place and it slaps every time.
The pho hits, the vermicelli bowl is yummy and the fresh rolls are actually fresh.“

“Honestly the best location and the best food. I would always get satay steak box to go when I was in TMU.

Only thing is their drink is usually bad… or at least not in my taste. I didn’t like any of their tea drinks (which is odd cuz i’m a tea person) Then I tried sip sip yogurt which was not my favourite as well….. all of them didn’t have that pleasant sweet and sour flavour and were too watery and bland. Mine was mango yogurt and everything was great except it did not have any sour taste of yogurt… maybe it was a different type of yogurt?? But i was expecting something like greek yogurt which wasn’t. Wasn’t sweet enough as well..

I’m still giving 5 stars because I absolutely love their byob and fries.“

“I went here for the first time the other day to quickly grab some food to go before I caught a show across the street - it was empty and the reviews were mixed so I wasn’t sure what to expect.

Anyone who has rated this place badly I have no idea what you’re on about, it was fairly quick considering it was just one staff member and the food portion was very generous, fresh, and tasty!

I’ll post a photo of what I got so you can behold my meal for one! I’ll definitely be back again.“

“food was great the service was a bit slow and not that attentive to us its a turned off coz his more focus for the take out order.“

“❤ their durian shakes and their dish #303!!! 😍“

“I really loved the pho here. Very flavourful broth. Also had the durian smoothie and it was really good. I originally ordered avocado smoothie but they were out so the owner offered me other fruit option but she said she has fresh durian so I tried it. Smoothie is nice and frosty I love it !!!“

“After having this Banh Mi it seems like I've never had a real one in my whole life. 1000000/10 and they are the nicest friendliest people of all time. I'm hooked. I got the tofu but DO NOT SLEEP ON IT it soaks up every ounce of flavour. Please come here, you'll be hooked I promise.“
