At the moment this place is rated 4.5 stars and it’s unbelievable why it’s that high.I eat at a lot of Vietnamese restaurants and this is one of the worst bowls of pho I’ve ever had. The broth is a bowl of salt and water, the portions are really really small, the place is dirty, and the hoisin sauce is severely water down for some reason. The best thing was the cold water they give you to wash down the super salty broth.I think what’s more upsetting was our obligation to finish the food due to the pho being $15 for the large. I don’t mind paying $15/$25/$35 for a good bowl of noodles, but this was not good at all.Trust me when I say it’s not worth torturing yourself with these noodles.

I’ve been here a couple of times. For pho it’s best to eat in the restaurant rather than take out. Broth is flavourful.

Tried the rare beef and brisket which was amazing! Prices are fairly decent too. Also tried a salty plum drink which was interesting and very sweet with a touch of salt. Not sure if I'll try that again but the pho was excellent!! This location is cute and close to downtown.

Considered one of the best if not the best Pho in town! Love the location and extensive menu. Went with 2 bowls of rare beef soup, classic chicken spring rolls and Vietnamese iced coffees! The Pho was fantastic and very quick! Sadly, the service was mediocre; felt like we were bothering the staff just by being there.

Ordered the tofu and veg noodle soup (vegan broth), the rare beef and chicken noodle soup, and a salty lime soda. Both the soups were good for the quantity and quality provided. The soda was overly sweet and we ended up discarding it after a few sips. The hot tea provided for the table was hot and perfect given the cold outside.This is a simple sit-down restaurant and depending on how busy they are, you might have to share a table with strangers with just a chair in the middle. The service is a little slow and the servers didn't seem very attentive to the customers but they might have been short-staffed.The restroom area in the basement is smelly but looks relatively clean.

Very nice place for PHO! Good prices and friendly staff. Also you can pay with email transfer :) which was very convenient for me!

Hands down the best pho in all of Toronto! I got the House Special Beef Noodle Soup and it was so flavourful, rich and of course, delicious! The broth was super clear, light and authentic. It's hard to resist getting a large bowl when it's only $1 more than the medium. It was so worth it and very filling.Keep in mind that they only accept cash! ATM is on sight in case you need to withdraw.

Beef Noodle Pho was good but after the meddled disaster for the cash out lineup I will be sticking to my favourite UFO over on Adelaide at Niagara. The cashout issue was 2 fold ... An older gentleman (owner?) cherry picking from the lineup who would go next despite sequence in line and half the folks in the line NOT MASKED.

The chicken pho & spring rolls were absolutely fantastic. I also got this sweet lime drink that was amazing. Such a cute little spot!!

Great food, and a staple in the city. Staff is so friendly, and welcoming. Highly recommend to anyone
