“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 ?“

“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“Came for a late dinner around 8pm on a Saturday night and we were the only people there. Ordered the vermicelli with grilled pork, beef and spring rolls. The portions are big and the meat was cooked well and quite flavourful, but I found the rest of the dish a bit bland including the nuoc cham sauce. Service was friendly but not particularly attentive, despite being the only ones in the restaurant we had to flag them down for water refills.10% off if you pay with cash!“
“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.“
“So far the best pho ive had in the city. They have 3 extra sauces that make a great dip. They also have whole red chilis on hand and make a spicy addition to their already awesome pho. They are also open till midnight which is very convenient.Highly recommend this spot. Worth the extra drive for us.“
“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 the last place in Toronto with Banh Mi under $5. You'd be wrong if you thought you got what you paid for. I was surprised with the amount of meat and pate in it - alot! There are lots of varieties of banh mi ( i.e fried chicken, bbq pork, shredded chicken etc) that I will give a try next time. One note that the bun is on the crunchy side so if you like soft buns, this is not for you.They also sell rice as well but the sign is in Vietnamese, feel free to ask what is the special of the day ?“

“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.“
“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!“
“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“
“We went for dinner with my family for the first time and I’m SO glad we did! The pho was absolutely phenomenal and the spring rolls were delicious. Our server was so kind and even topped off my left over pho with more broth so that I could have a full lunch the next day. Overall a fantastic experience. We’ll definitely be back!!“
“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“
“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.“
“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!“

“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!“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“Delicious! Loved it! The last time I visited Toronto, I went to over half a dozen viet restaurants that had sub par service and food. Visiting Toronto again and tried out this restaurant. Food was yummy. Server was sweet. Will be back! Thanks!“
“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“
“Came here on a very cold Saturday. Had the pho with chicken and beef balls. The chicken and broth were excellent. Beef balls were a little hard and not as flavorful.The spring rolls were also pretty good.2 x large bowls of pho12 spring roles2 diet cokeTotal cost about 60 dollars. Not the best value even in today's Truflation.“
“It’s my third time coming here.Food: 10/10 - there are a lot of unique dishes that are being offered here (the pictures below) and the dishes taste absolutely similar to Vietnam.Service: 10/10 - very friendly, and unfortunate service. The owner was serving us and we were impressed with her hospitality.Atmosphere: 10/10 - there is a big TV which displays Vietnamese street and markets. I am very impressed with this.Parking: Plenty of free parking lot“
