Not as good as the richmond hill location imo (except for the broken rice).The broken rice at this location looks way better than the richmond hill location. You get more meat and a bigger portion overall.One thing I noticed that they changed here compared to the richmond hill location is the 4:30pm special hot stone bowl pho. Instead of a beef rib in the stone bowl, they give you oxtail. I ordered this because I thought it'd be like Art of Pho's oxtail stone bowl pho in richmond hill (they give you HUGE chunks of oxtail). I got maybe 5 super small pieces of oxtail and to top it off, they increased the price of the stone bowl pho from $25.99 to $31.99!!!! In my opinion, totally not worth it. I would much rather they bring back the beef rib for the 4:30pm stone bowl pho at the original 22.95 or 25.99 price (they still have the 2 beef rib pho for the 11am - 2pm special at $22.95 which is great). Also, at $31.99 you're lookin at almost $40 after tax and tip for a pho.On top of this, I came w/ friends and my stone bowl pho looked smaller than my friend's bowl which was just a normal pho with all the meats added.If I'm ever craving hot stone bowl pho for dinner I'm definitely not coming to this location. Will stick to richmond hill location.Still at least 4 stars because the taste is great.

This is such a popular spot since its opening, as there were always long queue, we waited until tonight to go in without much wait. We ordered 2 dishes: Grilled pork, spring rolls and shrimp on sugarcane with Vermicelli & Special rice noodle soup (every meat). The vermicelli dish was really flavourful, the pork was nicely charcoal-grilled and the accompaniments such as cucumber, lettuce, bean sprouts were all fresh, I'd recommend this dish. The beef in the noodle soup was very tender, it's overall a delicious bowl of noodles but a bit too salty. Portion size is reasonable, service was prompt and good. The ambiance is good, and we'd like to visit again to try out other dishes in future. There are something I don't understand on the menu such as 'broken rice', 'every meat', what do these mean?

This was my first experience at this restaurant, and unfortunately, it left me quite disappointed. Despite recommendations from a few friends, I decided to give it a try and opted for takeout. The process was quick, with my order ready in less than 15 minutes. However, upon arriving home, I discovered that the food was disappointingly cold. I had ordered two large special rice noodle soups and a large well-done flank noodle soup, but none of them were even remotely warm. The soup lacked any heat, and the meat was cold as well.Upon contacting the restaurant, I was informed that the food had been prepared and packed ahead of time. This left me puzzled and frustrated. Ordering takeout implies convenience, but if the food arrives cold, it defeats the purpose, especially considering not everyone has the means to reheat it at work. Additionally, the issue is compounded when considering items like rare beef in the soup—how are customers supposed to cook it if the soup itself is cold?While I may consider giving the restaurant another chance for dining in, I cannot in good conscience recommend it for takeout.

Finally got to try my friend’s go to for Pho. This chain is popping up everywhere in the city and it’s definitely hitting! They have a lot of options and the platters look amazing! Had the rare beef and well done plank pho and the grilled chicken & spring roll on rice (because what better combo!) Tried the pork on rice from my friend and it was really good as well. Need to come back! Definitely on my radar now as a go to spot for pho! I hear the mango salad and fried chicken is a must!

Really good Vietnamese food, highly recommend their MÓN CUỐN ĐẶC BIỆT where you roll your own rice rolls, seems legit and tastes delicious.
I really like this chain Pho Anh Vu. They have a number of locations in the GTA. This one upheld their standard for delicious pho. We also tried something new today - the rice paper sharing platter with lemongrass chicken and spring rolls. Very yummy and fun to make the rolls yourself. My mom loved the faux-tree decorations. Service was friendly.

Had the classic pho with everything in it. The small size was MORE than enough for one person. We came on a Friday evening and were seated in about 10 minutes. The food arrived within what felt like 5 minutes of ordering. The decor is very fun, suitable for a casual meal. The pho broth is very clear and has a good taste even without additional seasonings.

Just decided to come here randomly I got the rare beef and flank and beef balls large size, first off the pho is massive, and service is quick you don't have to wait here long for a bowl of pho. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the meat was tender, I love the beef balls I can eat that all day, the broth was so tasty, what I like about pho yes it is a massive portion, get all types of of beef in one pho. But still number one is pho ngoc yen but this comes pretty close.

We got to the restaurant on a Saturday night around 6:30 and were seated right away. The line started to grow around 7pm onwards. The restaurant is quite spacious and I loved their bowls and cups. I ordered my usual rare beef and beef ball pho (size small). Although the price is heftier than other pho places, the portion was really big and there was a lot of meat and noodles. Their noodles are wider than the usual dry kind and chewier than fresh noodles. The broth was nice and not too oily or heavy. Didn't really feel the need to drink a lot of water afterwards unlike at other places. We shared a small side of spring rolls and they were ok. I don't think I would get them again as they were a bit too oily for my liking and the inside filling was soggy? I prefer my spring rolls to be crispier on the outside and less wet inside. Will be back to try their other dishes and noodles!
