I hadn't been back to this place since my last review, and maybe I was a bit too harsh previously…read moreor maybe they changed chefs but the food definitely seems to have improved since my last visit. There was a line up and more people this time around too. This time I tried the bone marrow pho and also had the roasted brisket pho. The roasted brisket was awesome and easily the highlight of the meal for me. They were also running a promo with free drinks (iced lychee or peach tea), which was a nice bonus. Neither drink is really my thing personally, but hey, free is free. The only thing I didn't like was the removal of the fresh noodle option, but the dry noodle was fine. Service was generally decent as well. Overall, a much better experience this time around, and I'd recommend giving it a try.

This place is always packed and busy, and after finally trying it, I understand why. We came for…read moredinner on a Sunday night and luckily didn't have to wait too long for a table. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and service was quick and efficient throughout the meal. One thing I liked is that the pho only comes in one size, which is basically equivalent to a large bowl at most other spots. The broth was so good that I barely needed to add anything besides bean sprouts, basil, and a squeeze of lime. It was light, clean, and incredibly comforting. There was a generous amount of meat, especially beef tendon, and the portion overall was huge. It's rare for me to struggle to finish a bowl of pho, but this one had me tapping out near the end. Definitely understand why this spot is such a Scarborough favorite.

A special mention goes to their 海訪蟹肉春卷 BUN NEM CUA BE, they're generously filled, with large pieces of shrimp and fresh crab meat . The service was also excellent and warm atmosphere. The only downside was the Vietnamese coffee--it was so watery and tasteless. Still, compared to last time, I added a bit to my rating. Overall, I'd give it 3.5 stars.

Looking for a quick and easy on the wallet meal? Banh mi pho an had what you're looking for!…read more Located at mcniccol and midland, this unassuming store is serving up 5$ cold cut Banh mi's and more options for a few more dollars. The sandwiches are pretty long and decently filled with meats, cucumber, pickled carrots and radish, and cilantro. They tend to slather it with butter (I tell them to go easy on the butter) and some pate. They also have other authentic appetizers if you want a bit more than just a sandwich. I recommend the spring rolls, so good when it's hot and fresh. If you're looking for spicy, ask for the chilies on the side but be warned, they are super, SUPER spicy so go easy the first time to see if it's your kind of spice level. Been here multiple times and will return.

I've been craving a Bánh Mì for quite sometime and remembered that there's a small place in this…read moreplaza I've been meaning to try. Bánh Mì Phở An is located at Evergold Centre. When I got there I saw very few people in the lineup so I decided today was going to be a good day to try Bánh Mì Phở An. With all the hype I'd heard about Bánh Mì Phở An, I knew this would be my lucky day. The guy in the lineup ahead of me ordered more than 20 sandwiches. I was impressed by the speed of the ladies who assembled all the sandwiches. The buns were crispy and fresh. The pâté, butter and a squirt from a squeeze bottle of dark brown sauce was all perfectly spread on the bun. The cucumber spear, and mostly daikon pickles (with one piece of pickled carrot), fresh coriander sprigs, salt and pepper toppings were all evenly distributed across the bread. Nicely wrapped and packaged neatly in paper wrap. Service was quick, in and out within minutes, and the Classic Bánh Mì was only five bucks. Good value for a tasty Bánh Mì. Would not hesitate to return to support this business.

TRDL - traditional Vietnamese food. Good value…read more The entrance of MS Pho Saigon faces the street, so one cannot see it from the parking lot. We took a while to check it out as a result. We were promptly greeted upon entering. The interior was clean and nicely decorated. It felt cozy and pleasant to spend time here. Despite the contemporary decor, the food was traditional. Think of it as a Pho 99 in a Pho Anh Vu clothing. And I think MS Pho strikes the best balance of both worlds, because I liked what I ate. The pho and vermicelli tasted familiar, like home. The Chicken Pho was fresh, and with the old school MSG that I am familiar with. The vermicelli was really well made, except the spring rolls were a bit too crunchy (I am weird I know). The portion was very good, so the value was as good as the old-time Pho 99. The 2 dishes were sufficient for the 3 of us. I freaking love sharing my food, so I love this aspect of MS Pho. The service was friendly, efficient and welcoming throughout the meal. If you ask me, I can objectively say the food here is not as good as Linh Anh. But the nostalgia hits me hard. And the value, as in food quality-portion-price, is good. I will return for sure.

The portions were small and the meats were marinated and not freshly grilled. The rice noodles were also a bit overcooked.

So many tasty things at this pho spot in Scarborough, but for me the best is the (S4) Bún bò Huế…read moređặc biệt. It has the awesome balance of rich salty, spicy, and savory flavors all come in one bowl. You also get a solid amount of meats like sliced beef, triples, pork knuckles, and blood curds. Heads up though as this rice noodle bowl item is only available on Fridays and weekends. It is a total must-order in my opinion. Their chicken wings, Vietnamese spring rolls, beef stew with French baguette and smoothies are also great. I am already craving it while typing, LOL... I don't mind it certainly is a little pricey here as long as the food are good. You get what you pay for. Definitely recommended if you are in the area.

We started our meal with some appetizers - Spring Rolls, and Shrimp Rolls. They were huge and delicious, a sign of things to come. My cousins had the Rare Beef and Beef Ball Pho, Rare Beef and Flank Pho, and the Grilled Pork Vermicelli. The pho broth was rich in flavour, and very tasty. The grilled pork was delicious, with a nice charred flavour. I had the Beef Rib Bones Pho that included three meaty rib bones, and a knuckle bone with rich marrow. This dish is so huge, it's served in two bowls! It was a little awkward to eat because the bones were so large. I ended up taking home half of it to enjoy later. This dish is more than enough for sharing! Everything we had was very flavourful, with huge portions. The service was excellent, and the ambiance was very inviting. I highly recommend Lang Chai. Check them out at 3280 Midland Ave.

We got there around 11:30AM and it wasn't busy yet but had people trickling in as the time passed. Service was a solid 5/5. Staff were so nice and happy - always smiling at us whenever they brought anything to our table. The dishes here were great with some adjustments to their dishes, I think it could be a solid 5/5! Here goes: Viet coffee 4/5 - Love me an iced Viet coffee. Was a tad sweet imo, so think they could adjust their condensed milk portions for this. Overall was a great caffeine hit drink though. Banh Cuon 5/5 - Oh my goodness - must get! Chewy steamed rice rolls with a pork filling dipped into the fish sauce. Came with grilled meats which were to die for. Bun Cha Ha Noi 5/5 - Meats were very well seasoned in the broth like sauce. It's a dipping type noodle and was absolutely divine. Bun Bo Hue 4/5 - This was good but not too spicy. Lacked a bit of umami flavour and felt like it could have used a bit more depth. Pho Bo 4/5 - Standard beef pho that was comforting and delicious. Overall a pretty solid spot for Vietnamese food. Would visit this place again.

Besides enjoying their staple rice dishes with different proteins like grilled pork and noodle soup (pho), we also tried their newest dishes. Vietnamese Crepes - bean sprouts, green beans herbs + shrimp/beef wrapped in crepe Banh Khot - small egg cakes with toppings (shrimp, beef, pork, mushroom) These dishes were very refreshing and flavorful. Definitely, Vietnamese cuisine still has a lot more to offer than just pho. I recommend you give these dishes a try!
