    Visited Pho Ngoc Yen while in Toronto. We popped in before visiting the Art Gallery of Ontario, and…read moreit turned out to be a great choice. The atmosphere was casual and comfortable, and the service was good throughout our visit. The food was tasty and well executed, with a couple of dishes standing out from the rest. The crispy chicken wings, marinated in a savory fish sauce, were sticky good and packed with flavor. The other favourite was the crispy spring rolls filled with pork and shrimp, which were nicely prepared and disappeared quickly. Overall, a solid Vietnamese spot with good service and some standout appetizers -- a great stop before exploring downtown Toronto. Saluti.

    A unique pho experience I've never had anywhere else, even within Orange County Viet Central. It's…read morenot the most traditional, as it does feel like an elevated dining experience, with fusion aspects as Chinese flavours and Thai dishes are mixed in to the menu. We needed to wait ~40-50 minutes to get seated on a Saturday night, and the dine-in area was packed and loud. I loved that there was green tea served, it was very fragrant, reminds me of good dim sum tea. It did not look like most customers were as appreciative, though. We had the beef tenderloin carpaccio, which I really enjoyed. there was a lot of garlic flavor mixed with the usual greens that come with pho, and it tastes like a juicier tender version of beef in pho, mixed with a variety of textures. I had the jade fried rice as well, and the beef in this dish tastes entirely different but also very tender and soft. Also comes with a lot of the pho greens. The pho dish is more traditional, maybe a little too salty on the soup, but again great taste with the noodles, vegetables, and beef. The amount of food served is a lot as well, it was another whole meal for leftovers the next day. We had the option to pay in cash for 10% off.

    I was in the area (which is far considering I'm from Markham) so I had to try Pho Ngoc Yen - heard…read moreso much hype. I ordered the Bun Bo Hoe and was not disappointed. The broth was so flavourful, lots of lemongrass and lime flavour. It was loaded with beef, sausage slices, and pork blood so this was very worth it! 10/10! Service was typical of an Asian restaurant but must comment that the decor inside the restaurant is very beautiful. Lots of greenery and bamboo decorations which made the ambience very enjoyable for dining. Don't be fooled by the industrial appearance of the outside!

    Tucked into an unassuming stretch of industrial Mississauga, Pho Ngoc Yen has spent years quietly…read morebuilding a devoted following, and rightfully so. The menu unfurls with impressive breadth, moving well beyond expected pho into simmered specialties that reward the adventurous diner. Service throughout was attentive and unhurried, the sort of hospitality that turns newcomers into regulars. What lingers most is the room itself. Disco lighting fixtures and a tucked away stage lend the space an unexpected theatricality, as though it were built for celebration rather than mere sustenance. Despite the family's expansion into a sleeker downtown outpost, this original location retains a lived in charm no polished interior could replicate. The broth carries real depth and fragrance, the noodles handled with care, and the accompanying plates, from crisp spring rolls to grilled specialties, arrive with the consistency that keeps a neighborhood loyal for decades. If there is a critique to offer, it is only that the restaurant's understated exterior undersells the warmth and quality found within. This is Vietnamese cooking presented without pretense: generous, comforting, and utterly sincere. Pho Ngoc Yen earns its reputation through steady, quiet excellence, and it remains a destination worth returning to again and again.

    Hands down the best Gongbao/ Kungpao chicken the York region!…read more I ordered twice with uber eats and couldn't resist visiting the third time in person. Upon visiting I was a bit disappointed that they don't have dine-in service. Only take-out. But nevertheless, the people at the counter are kind and quick. My order arrived within minutes! Just to keep in mind, visiting the store is a bit cheaper (20%) than Uber eats. So if you're close by, don't forget to get their Gongbao chicken! I'm yet to try other delicacies from this store. Don't mind the store for its looks, it has no dine-in facility, just a few chairs and two tables but the food is yum!

    Small town Chinese restaurants aren't the most promising food places, but this place was…read moresurprisingly good. Got "A little bit of everything". It was fantastic value especially for those who like variety, it came with an egg roll, teriyaki beef, wontons, breaded shrimp, chicken chop suey, sweet & sour chicken balls, spare ribs & chicken fried rice. Also added a spring roll. "A little bit of everything" was a lot of food. The rice had a good wok flavour & the chop suey was pretty tasty too. There was quite a bit of chicken in both. The teriyaki beef was so-so. The rest of the items were battered & deep fried (even the spare ribs) & were ok; the sweet & sour sauce was the usual sweet goo. The outside of the egg roll broke & the inside was so-so. For the spring roll I chose pork (there's vegetable too). It was stuffed with 99% minced pork & had a simple soy sauce based flavour. It was pretty good.
