Location/Service This place is in the middlefield/steeles plaza with the shippers drug mart and supermarket. Plenty of parking spots available. Interior is pretty standard, but it doesn't have the crazy flower and tree decorations like the typical viet places. More homey feel. Staff were very nice, helped explained the menu and orders came on time. Food Got invited to try their menu and what's unique about this spot is that they use viet dishes and twist it a bit with some Chinese ingredients and cooking methods. Their house pho has Chinese herbs that really help boost immunity. They also have good apps like skewers and salt & pepper squid. I also like the shareable platters of house special vermicelli wrapper and a never seen dish of sliced pork and shrimp cake noodle. Prices are very reasonable too. A small pho is only $12.95! This is a pretty solid spot if you want viet food without breaking the bank. Support your local family owed business!

This small restaurant is a hidden gem. The Vietnamese appetizers were fresh, flavourful, and made with so much care from Owner Thomas. The Chicken Noodle Soup was the real standout: rich chicken broth and perfectly cooked oil noodles and Vermicelli that hit the spot on a cold day. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the whole place had a cozy, home-cooked vibe. Highly recommend stopping by if you want delicious, comforting Vietnamese food! Also, they have delicious grilled skewers that is currently being offered at a great deal of 3 Skewers for $7 !

I discovered that this Vietnamese Fusion restaurant is serving a hotpot set that allows you to refill the broth and noodles for FREE. The staff said that this set can serve two people but I feel like it would be enough for 4 people because the dish was massive. Their beef skewers were also flavorful and addicting! The drinks were so so - not too sweet.

Brand new pho spot. The service was nice and friendly. Ambiance was simple but yet comfortable. I ordered the rare beef pho, the broth was nice, not too salty and the beef was nice and tender and not tough. The best part is after you eat the whole bowl of pho, you won't get thirsty! The curry brisket was very delicious. Nice and soft! I highly recommend the brisket. The HK lemon tea was nicely done. We will be back!

My friend and I came here for dinner and got the beef bone pho hot pot, grilled beef shrimp vermicelli and beef lamb skewers. Everything tasted good and the food came out fast. The beef bone pho hot pot is great for sharing and also fun cooking ingredients table side. They also give free refills of noodles and soup for those that get the hotpot. Refills of meat and veggies will cost extra.

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.

This was my second time visiting. I went at 3:00 and didn't have to line up, which was much better…read more The food portions are huge--would it be possible to have smaller portions at a slightly lower price? 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.

A Vietnamese restaurant attached to Pacific Mall. Located to the left of the mall entrance facing…read moreSteeles Ave. Upon arriving, I noticed how large the restaurant was and how they had really big tables for larger parties. 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!

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.

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!

Standard pho - always a solid choice. Impressively large portion. We also tried the crab with the…read moresweet and spicy sauce. Not my favourite way to eat crab as the seafood flavour gets lost in the sauce but was worth a try. The staff are very friendly and considerate - gave us a discount on the crab as it was missing a limb as it is priced by the pound. The crab is served with a side of warm milk breasd which was delicious and was a great vessel for scraping up that sauce! Plenty of free parking outside.
