“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.“
“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 :)“
“Very quick and convenient place for Pho with different portion sizes to choose from. I went there for lunch and ordered a small size mango salad and well-done beef, soft tendon and beef tripe rice noodle soup. The food came very quickly, less than 10 min to be exact. I like the sweet and sour taste in the mango salad despite the fact that mango strips were cut very thick. The restaurant is a bit noisy but can be a good place for quick lunch during work days. Btw, there's a 10% discount for those who pay in cash.“
“I ordered on Uber Eats for the first time and I was SO HAPPY with my order! I got the beef and rice, fresh shrimp and pork rolls and an avocado shake. I must say the beef was flavoured very well and I loved the pickled veggies it cut through the meal amazing! The rolls were also individually wrapped in their packaging so they didn’t stick together, the shake was super cold considering I live 40 minutes away it tasted like they just made the shake! I loved the consistency and I’ll be visiting in person for sure!! Thank you for the great dinner ?“

“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!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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 a to-go banh mi shop only. You order outside through a small sliding window. The bread was imperfect looking but the ingredients made up for it. I ordered the dried shredded pork for only $4.50. What a steal! It has just the right amount of filling and it was really tasty.“
“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!!!“
“Was shopping for my restaurant stuff and was hungry so decided to check it out the service is with a smile lovely ladies the pho broth is good and fresh shrimp roll yum my daughter loves pho and definitely like this one will return love from Jzoticfirekitchen ??“
“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.“
“I really loved the sip sip yogurt in this placeFood : the drink was refreshing and delicious with small pieces of the fruit you choose very tasty. 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.“
“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“
“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!“
“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“
“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!“
“This is such a gem of a place. The best banh mi I've ever had! I'm supposed to be on a bread free diet, but this is the exception, I can't stop coming back!The balance of ingredients is perfect and delicious, the grilled pork is perfectly seasoned, and the texture is sooooo good.The staff here are total sweethearts, they take a lot of pride in their food & service.Do yourself a favor and get the Banh mi with grilled pork!“
“A small hole in the wall place. The owners are so friendly, the place is never too busy and the food, oh my gosh it’s delicious. It’s well prepared and it’s big portions. Such a great place. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend!“
“This is some of the standout the dishes that we’ve tried. We are from Burlington but any chance we got we would try to make it there. We own a business too and it is a hard time right now to spend so much for eating out but really treat yourself with a good meal after your stressful or hard working day and support other business would make us feel so much better. Actually the price is not too high with such a high quality and tasty food. The customer service and the environment really make me feel like come have a meal at a friend’s home. The owners extremely friendly and seems very passionate with his cooking and serving. The staffs are all nice and caring. What’s else do you asking for. Highly highly recommended!“
“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.“
“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“
“Absolutely love this place, I come here almost every week for lunch, during winter their pho NEVER disappoints. Vermicelli is also a great pick. Their protein choices are all great. Steamed Egg is the most unique but tasty thing I’ve had there. Honestly great staff and I always get my food within 10 minutes after ordering. HIGHLY recommend this place!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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“
“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.“

“I’ve had Pho Vaughan a few. Once dine in- the food was delicious, the staff were friendly and on the ball and the portions were generous. Today i was feeling under the weather and what better cure than bun bo hue. - spicy and delicious. Arrived fast, prices great. Only amazing things about this local pho place. Come try for yourself, you won’t be disappointed“
“Great small shop on the corner entrance plaza. Friendly staff, clean and neat store. Their pho is just right, their bun bo hue is different compared to other stores in terms of the extra meats they offer (I really enjoy it), their chicken vermicelli bowl came with dark meat too, thei squid patties were perfectly seasoned. One of my favourite things they offer is the tea, very unique and unlike any pho store I've been to. It's floral, sweet, refreshing, and light. Will most definitely be coming back to support this local business.“
