50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near York

“To be honest, I have never experienced anything like this before.

I had no intention of leaving a negative review, because the issue was already addressed that same evening. The restaurant apologized, accepted responsibility, and we considered the matter resolved.

Throughout the entire situation, we remained polite. We did not swear, insult anyone, or cause a scene. We simply raised our concerns respectfully after waiting an extremely long time for our food, while some people at our table had already finished eating and others still had not received their meals. In restaurant service, that is a major issue. What made it worse was that no staff member came to explain the delay or provide any updates.

What I find disappointing is that three of you used three separate Google accounts to respond to my review and indirectly identify me by mentioning our table number and even commenting on my local accent, calling me low EQ. Then you claim that you were not referring to me specifically.

I understand that you gave the restaurant 5-star reviews because you had a positive experience, or part of their promotion( 5 stars review for a free dish) and that is completely your right. However, by repeatedly targeting me in your responses, you have only encouraged me to leave more than one review. Our group had nine people — if I wanted to, there could have been nine reviews instead of one.

Arguing back and forth through Google Reviews is not helping the restaurant. If you would like an unbiased public discussion, feel free to post the situation on Facebook and I will gladly respond there.

If these personal attacks continue after this review, I will also make a Facebook post about the situation. I do not believe that would be beneficial for the restaurant, and I would prefer not to take it that far.

I sincerely hope this is where the discussion ends. This was originally a private matter between me and the restaurant, it was addressed, and I believed it had already been resolved.“

“I had an issue with my ubereats order today and they resolved it.. the staffs are so nice and accommodating.. I would 1000% recommend this restaurant. And as per the food, it is well prepared and 100000% delicious.. 10 stars for them🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“A little bit pricey, but it's a good Pho place, 👍. Been here a couple times. The large Pho is enough for 2 people. Took on that challenge and lost lol. Worth the price for $20 bucks. You get a nice big bowl of pho. I phoed until I couldn't pho no more.“

“I love Pho Metro! The food is absolutely delicious every time and the service is quick and friendly. Everything is fresh and portion sizes are extremely generous and filling. My wife is addicted to their tea, it smells exactly like brown sugar boba. If you're in Thornhill, we can't recommend this place enough.“

“Delicious food, large portion.“

“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.“

“Visiting Toronto from SF with my husband. Stopped here after a morning at The Casa Loma Castle. Very hungry and was not disappointed. The restaurant is nice inside and air conditioned. The staff is welcoming and accommodating. The lemongrass beef was delicious as was the chicken plate. Both proteins were very tender and tasty. I highly recommend this place!“

“Dịch vụ tốt. Phở 😋ngon😋😋😋😋“

“This place is always so good. I feel like it is odd that I can’t even recommend a specific dish on the menu. We always just get the weekend special (which changes every week) and it has never disappointed. Great food. Great prices. A local favourite.“

“The best Pho restaurant ever. Highly recommend. They used kangen machine amazing.“

“Delicious food, large portion.“

“If you live in the neighbourhood - you most likely already know about this place. The banh cuon is a definite must try and the reason why I keep coming back to them. Just beware that the place is cash only! They are consistently good and it’s hard not to come everyday.“

“Delicious food, nice atmosphere.“

“Its a wonderful place to enjoy a hearty and authentic meal. I visited with friends, and we were impressed by the fresh ingredients and rich flavors in every dish. The staff was warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. I’ll definitely be coming back for more“

“Friendly staff and nice ambiance. Very clean and the staff was very attentive. Hoping it will stay that way specially the quality of their foods. We loved their Pho soup, Grilled chicken and pork chop with rice and most specially their fried spring rolls. Highly recommended!👍“

“A late night pho run always hits. The restaurant was pretty full when we arrived around 10:00pm.
Service is quick and the food arrives fast.
The small bowl is $14.50 and I think it’s a good size. The pricing isn’t bad at all compared to other viet restaurants.
Service is really nice there though, everyone is really attentive.“

“My fiance and I decided to try Pho for the first time. The food was delicious and huge portions for the price! We loved it! 10/10!!“

“good food and wonderful staff!“

“I love the pho and the place is super clean, and the washroom sparkles. And Vicky is honest, friendly. I highly recommend this place for everyone.“

“An excellent experience, great food, friendly owners. Highly recommend.“

“The restaurant is under new ownership, and the pho is still excellent. There’s a wide variety of dishes to choose from. I tried the Huế-style beef noodle soup, fish noodle soup, and fish sauce chicken wings — everything was delicious and well-prepared. Definitely worth coming back to try more.

Highly recommended.“

“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 ❤️“

“Absolutely incredible experience at Konia the other night. The vibe and aesthetic were so well done, and you can tell how much thought and care goes into every detail — especially the drinks and menu. The service was genuinely 12/10 and made the whole experience even better. Super affordable as well!

Also loved how many vegetarian and vegan options there were, and they were all delicious (coming from someone who isn’t even vegan). Can’t wait to come back! Food was so good I forgot to take pics.“

“The spring rolls here are the best - perfectly crispy on the outside with an amazing filling that keeps you coming back for more. The pho is rich and flavorful with tender meat, and the menu offers a great variety of dishes for everyone. Top-notch service and very reasonable prices compared to similar restaurants!“

“Everything is great from this place even portions are surprisingly huge, without sacrificing quality of the food. I love their decorations, my only complaint is the lack of space. I do understand theyre busy and want to seat as many people as possible, but wow people pass by 3-4 inches away from your food.

Still, great food. Highly recommend. During dinner, it might be some wait but its worth it.“

“I live in the US, and although we have a plethora of Vietnamese Establishments within a 20-mile radius of where we reside, I was looking to see what else is out there. My Aunt and Uncle live in a condo at Pharmacy and Finch, so it’s convenient and within walking distance when the weather is nice in the summer. My Mom and I had our eye on this place, but never had a chance to visit until a few weeks ago. The service is quick, attentive, and friendly and the food is excellent. The atmosphere is modern and upscale and the servers are intentional; they take the time to address any questions about the dish you are ordering and require you to inform them of any food allergies, which is extremely important to someone like me (I am allergic to mushrooms and eggplants, sadly). Binnie has taken care of us the past several visits and we enjoy her cheerful and conversational nature.

The true standout dishes here are the following.
10/10 would order again!

(B08) Beef Brisket Pho
The rich, slow-simmered broth makes it even more enjoyable

(C02) Shrimp Wonton & Egg Noodle Soup
A hug in a bowl on a rainy day

(D11) Stir-Fried Chicken In Lemongrass
Vibrant and delicious; perfect balance and ratio of vegetables to noodles

There is just something about this place that makes me feel welcome. I will continue to visit with my Mom whenever we are in the Toronto Area.“

“I love this place. It's the best pho I've had in the city. It's definitely a Toronto vibe before gentrification infected everything. It takes them 18 hours to make the broth. I spoke to the lady who runs the place. She's a sweetheart, and makes delicious food for what she's asking. The spring rolls are huge and delicious, the pho is savoury and the spices come through perfectly. I will admit, it's a bit on the saltier side.

The chilli oil she has at the table is fantastic, don't be shy as its not as spicy as it is flavourful.

You can easily share an XL rare beef pho between two guys or maybe 3 ladies, depending how hungry you are.

Bring cash as it saves her money, but she does take credit and debit if you need. The real treat here is the pho. You can do other dishes and she has specials constantly. Very affordable spot for the up and coming in this expensive city.

Don't expect fancy, but do expect huge & delicious pho for 2017 prices.“

“I absolutely love this gem - Food is super fresh, very homestyle cooking - like from your mom’s kitchen. The lemongrass chicken on rice or egg foo young are my favourite dishes. The woman who runs this also makes her own milk tea, and it’s to die for. Prices are also amazing - super affordable with good portion sizes. Support local and make this a staple!“

“Wonderful shop for Banh Mi sandwiches and Shrimp Spring Rolls. We tried the BBQ pork, Chicken & Assorted Bahn mi with flavorful fillings. Nice bun with slight crunch; compared to other places that use buns with hard exterior. Rice rolls (shrimp and pork) well prepared. Excellent food overall. Prices very reasonable, good service from nice lady, a neighbourhood GEM. Thank you!😊 🌟💎🌟💎⭐️😊🌹“

“We were drawn in by the tasty smell of the food while passing the restaurant. Had the lemongrass chicken on rice - juicy and tasty. Great for a quick lunch. They only have a couple small tables so do not expect to sit in. Price was decent! For the food and also a drink it was about $17.“

“Ordered the vegan banh mi — a lovely twist to what usually is a slab of tofu for a vegan alternative. Flavours blend wonderfully and served fast with friendly service.

The vibes of this place are also impeccable. Not a lot of tables but the cozy nature makes up for the lack thereof. Prices hard to beat. A hidden gem.“

“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.“

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

“Love this place! So happy we now have this restaurant in our neighbourhood! Friendly owners, very clean, fair prices and delicious authentic Vietnamese food!“

“Amazing Broth“

“the food here is amazing! so tasty, reasonably priced and the portions are good. a small is very filling. i got the house special noodle soup and it was fantastic. they also have lots of drinks, i got the mango icy drunk and loved it. as well, if you pay cash >$15 they give you a free dessert! we got pumpkin cake and it was amazing :-)“

“Best vietnamese restaurant ever. Stay in toronto almost a week and find out this on my last day (whats a pity). I’m vietnamese and this is the real vietnamese flavour in Toronto. If you looking for a real vietnamese flour in Toronto, I would say here is the best and must come to try!!!
The lady who own this place was amazing and friendly!“

“Really hot and tasty soup“

“Just tried this Banh mi place for the first time and got the large pork banh mi with a 7up. The woman was super nice and asked if I wanted it cut, which thankfully I chose because I was surprised by the size! Definitely worth the price and super happy I tried them out before they close for the winter season 💜“

“Yesterday we had one of the best meal in this city in a long time in the city at this restaurant. We were hungry after a great candlelight concert at the nearby Metropolitan Church venue and we decided to try this place. Blown away by the food. You know the food is good when you see it. We decided to start with a Vietnamese pancake. Before even trying the food I was immediately impressed by the look and we knew the food was made by an extremely talented chef. The way the carrots were cut into beautiful threads. After trying the pancake I was seeing stars in my head. The main course that followed did not disappoint either with a grilled and smoked pork chop with a chicken breast and a delicious Chicken pho. Wow. Will come back again for sure. Not to be missed if you're in the area.“

“The prices here are really low and their banh mi was quite good, especially for the price. The pickled veg didn't seem pickled and there wasn't much of it. There also wasn't any noticeable pate. We tried the original, satay beef, and lemongrass beef. I liked that the satay one was spicy but preferred the flavour from the lemongrass. This definitely follows the pattern of combining the same ingredients with different sauces to get different flavours but the sauces are distinct and it works well. The coffee was fine but I enjoyed the size of the ice that the machine produced.
They have a sign that says that the prices will get you and the service will keep you. I found the service a bit strange as he rushed us to order because there were customers behind us who were also still deciding what to get and we were standing on the side so others could order. He also asked us how much our order would cost or how much we were giving him which was a bit strange.
The small store was absolutely packed with different things and it seems like anything you're looking for you could find here. I didn't like the lack of prices everywhere or labels as someone who has never had most of the items but what we did get was good.“

“Delicious. From the appetizers to the main dishes and the sticky rice for desert. You’ve never had sticky rice like this. It’s a MUST Have. The friendliest staff I’ve ever experienced. We were well taken care of and well fed from start to finish.“

“Delicious phô, friendly.“

“For testy and verity items. Nice and friendly hospitality.“

“My new favourite bahn mi place. I come here every week to get sandwiches. I can’t get enough 🤣.

To anyone complaining it takes long for sandwiches. I’m happy to wait. They put TLC in them Sando’s!

Thank you for the delicious bahn mi’s.“

“The hype is real! This super-authentic chay (vegetarian) Vietnamese restaurant is as close to the one I've eaten at in Vietnam as anything you'll find over here. I'm fairly confident that I've tried every vegetarian pho in Toronto and Flower Lantern's is the hands-down winner - rich, flavourful broth, huge portions of noodles, and a sampler of every Asian-style mock meat they have on offer elsewhere in the menu (standouts in the soup being the faux chicken and faux bbq pork). I've never had a bowl of soup that left me so content and satiated. Was impressed enough to get a banh mi to go, can't wait to have that for lunch today!“

“I stopped by Bunmi and was pleasantly surprised! The bao bun was incredibly soft and fluffy, with flavorful, juicy filling and fresh pickled veggies that added the perfect crunch. Every bite was well balanced and delicious.I also tried the Ube Coffee, and it was amazing—smooth coffee with a creamy ube flavor that wasn’t overly sweet. Such a unique and refreshing combination!“

“Best tasting pho I’ve tried. Bun cha was also very flavourful.“

“We always visit this tofu takeout spot and it never disappoints with the quality, freshness and taste! We moved from this area but still come back here for the banh mi and vegan pho! The rice paper spring rolls stay crunchy for hours and their fresh sweet soy milk is divine! The people are so kind and friendly.
They accept cash and e-transfers so be aware before you go :)
Highly recommend if you’re looking for some authentic Vietnamese flavours that are vegetarian/vegan!“
