I brought my wife here to try their bone marrow pho and some appetizers…read more The bone marrow pho was great. She got two big beef bones and assorted beef. The portions are generous and we basically had a second meal to take home. The netted rolls were good. Probably a little bit too long in the fryer but it passed the taste test. I loved the smoked brisket pho and how they served the brisket on a separate plate with all the juices from brisket. You can really taste smoke flavour. The service is very friendly and the food came out pretty fast. The dining room esthetically pleasing and great place for date night. I recommend bringing cash as they give you 10% off your bill. Thank you Di An for a wonderful experience and look forward to coming back again.

The squid patty was really good, I liked the crunchy texture from the squid. The pork was very flavourful. The fish cake was just ok. The pho was very clean tasting..you don't have that overly thirsty feeling you get when eating anything with too much MSG. The spring rolls were slightly on the greasy side. It was also darker than usual so not sure if it's bc the oil is on the old side. Otherwise we enjoyed our meal and I would return..

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.

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.

Opening almost three months, this Vietnamese restaurant beside Pacific Mall is serving…read moremouth-watering dishes, but the interior is what initially blew me away. 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!

Friendly service, free parking, and a great overall experience. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu!

It was loaded with meat! The broth was clear and tasty. We also tried the spring rolls which my 4 year old devoured 2 whole ones before anyone could touch it. I guess it was that good because I didn't even get a chance to try it. The chicken wings were good as well. We also got the fresh rolls, but I didn't really like it as it had shredding lettuce. The bun bo hue was good, even though we asked for less spicy, it was still spicy to me! I loved that I didn't feel thirsty after unlike some viet restaurants. This means they don't use a crazy amount of MSG. Would definitely come back!

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.

Two years into COVID19, we decided to revisit the restaurant and dine in. My family said the portions got smaller, and the menu pricing went up a bit on the pricier side versus other comparable Vietnamese restaurants in the area. The grilled chicken was a bit too salty with too much flavour enhancer used. At least the spring rolls were the best part of the order.

A 4.8-star rating with over 500 reviews on Google Maps is what got me. We were a party of two on a…read moreThursday evening and it wasn't busy at all. Less than half of the tables were occupied and there were two staff members working. Their menu is quite extensive, and on the high average end for pricing. You can expect to spend about $20-30 after taxes and tips per person, depending on what you get. I got the banh da cua hai phong, which is Hai Phong-style noodles, including a variety of toppings like crab paste, shrimp, and pork betel leaves. My friend got the com rang dua bo, which is fried rice with stir-fried mustard greens and beef. The noodles were a bit oilier than I anticipated but taste overall was good. It's not something I'd choose over pho though. The fried rice by itself was very delicious - I'd get this by itself, but my friend said the combination of greens & beef with the fried rice was weird ("not balanced" he said). The portions are huge. I ate only 1/3 of the noodles and my friend ate 1/2. We had lots of leftovers. In total we spent $27pp each. The service was very good. They came around often to refill our tea and was pretty attentive. Overall if I come back, I'd try out their pho or the crab sticky rice (if we had a larger party) like people recommended!

The atmosphere was good, can talk amongst each other.

Something changed when they updated their menu here…read more The pho portions feel smaller with less meat. The brisket was notably chewy, probably the chewiest brisket I've had in pho in my life. The flavour of everything (broth, meat, vermicelli dishes, spring rolls) is really bland and simple now. They also don't serve bean sprouts with the pho anymore or maybe the girl forgot? The spring rolls are especially greasy. So much that all I tasted was oil. Not great. Dear Saigon is definitely aesthetics first now with unique drinks. Probably the only reason to come now. Either way I don't think I'll return anymore, there's too much competition in the area and prefer pho hue across the street. The food is below average, especially since the average is so high in the area.

Solid 4.5 stars. I…read morethink the resto is still relatively (less than 1 year open) fresh/new. For me, what is really making me and my friends come back often is the pricing. I don't know if it was strategic on their part, but they have effectively undercut some of their biggest viet competitors by $3-4 on a lot of their items which to me makes this resto rank VERY HIGH in terms of value because of their also huge portions. Admittedly, the taste of their pho broth still doesn't beat Ngon Corner in Richmond Hill for me but they have some items that I can't find on a lot of resto menus. For example, the signature grilled meat platter is amazing. It says serves 2-4 ppl on the menu and I think that's pretty accurate. My friend and I shared one and we're big eaters so we shared it between the two of us and actually felt full! They also PACK the platter with ingredients and don't skimp on anything which is awesome. You love to see it. Also, I came with the gf and the curry is quite layered in terms of flavour. But for me, the most underrated item is the tomato beef brisket noodle soup. Damn, that tomato broth SLAPPED. Better broth than a lot of chinese soup noodle places I've been to and the brisket was also very tender. Even though Ngon Corner is still packing the most flavour in their pho broth, I found myself somehow gravitating to this place with more and more visits because of the sheer value and pricing (I've also told a lot of ppl that they're quite affordable compared to some of the other Viet stalwarts in Markham/RHill). Hopefully this continues and they don't get greedy and decide to increase the prices!
