Recommended by my friend for our girls date. It's in a plaza that's a 1 way road. Ambiance: 5/5 - the place looked small from the outside but quite spacious inside. The place is clean. They have a lot of tables and seats. There are 2 stalls in the bathroom, 1 of them is accessibility friendly. Service: 5/5 - it was a weekday lunch so it wasn't too busy when we first got there. As we dined, there were more costumers that came. We took awhile to figure out what to order. Once we ordered, the food came out pretty quickly. They checked in on us. It was easy to catch their attention when we wanted to add to order. To pay, you have to go up front. They take cash, debit and credit. Food: 4.5/5 - extensive menu. They offer Thai and Chinese dishes along with Vietnamese cuisine. We chose to stick with Vietnamese as that was what we were craving for. We ordered: -deep fried spring rolls: crispy exterior, taro in the inside with other fillings -cold shrimp rolls: tightly rolled, the sauce has a spicy kick to it with crushed peanuts on the top -small pho bistro special combination: definitely small compared to other pho places, probably need at least a medium to be full. However, the noodle to topping ratio is good. The broth was clear. I just found it to be more on the salty side. -medium well-done frank and brisket: my friend really enjoyed it -iced Vietnamese "Phin" Coffee with condensed milk: I'm impressed. I haven't had a true drip Vietnamese coffee in a long time. It was definitely strong Overall 4.8/5: I'm defintely coming back here and recommending friends and family read more

Came here because the original place we wanted to try was only takeout and given the cold weather, we wanted to sit down. They had propane tanks with heaters inside. The food was ok. The pho noodles were overcooked so was too soft. Service was basic, what you would expect. Not sure I would return. read more

This is a hidden gem for great Vietnam pho place. Pho soup base is clear and flavorful. Mango salad-4/5 Grilled beef with rice-5/5 Overall, nice seating area , good service and reasonable price, the pho portion is average though, even the largest size is not that big . So be sure to go with the larger size Staff is very friendly and the restaurant had a relaxing vibes read more

Actually pretty good; wasn't expecting much, was in the area craving pho. Spring rolls taste fresh and have heavy filling; pho tai nam pretty good. My bf had the pho satay i think and it was pretty unique/diff/fusion but tasty nonetheless. Also the che ba mau was pretty good, not too sweet and fully loaded with all the good bean stuff i like. Customer service could use some more polishing - no proactive checking up on us so it was hard to flag anyone down for help; also negligent on many stuff, like not bringing us the herbs with the pho and not being quite on it when we asked for it, saying they didnt have che ba mau but when i asked to clarify if she means in general they dont serve it or if just tonight they ran out, and i pointed to menu to show that it says it is offered here, she doublechecked with the back and yes they do have it. Other little negligent things like this with the customer service (kinda sloppy) - not sure if they just wanted to end the night (we were there half hr before close) or if they are always like this. But anyway still nice though when talking to them. Would still come back as i thought food was pretty good for local pho joint. Oh and space is nice, clean, spacious, comfy. read more

Pho Bistro is just does not offer only Vietnamese food but also has a section for Chinese and Thai food. Tonight we opted to order a few dishes from the Vietnamese menu. We decided to go for the large bowl of Pho to share. Lots of noodles and beef along with tripe and beef balls ... a good size for two people. It was good the broth was tasty but not piping hot. We asked for hot broth and it was the same ... just came out warm. The Lemon Grass Pork with Vermicelli looked amazing. The lemon grass pork was tasty but we there was not enough noodles in comparison to the generous portions of meat. The service here was pleasant tho. They are located in a plaza at 100 Steeles Ave West. There is lots of space for parking. read more

Okay, I've been spending a lot of time at this plaza at 100 Steeles W lately. In addition to Cups, Ssangkye, and ServiceOntario office....a new one to add is Pho Bistro! Pretty good service, pretty good soup broth, very good spring rolls, very good fried tofu, so-so washroom and horrible parking. But parking affects that whole plaza, in all fairness. A nice place to go if you want pho and in a 'nicer' environment. Aka not a hot dump. Would come again! read more

I loveeee the drinks at this place. I've only had the Halo Halo but my friend had the Mango fruit shake and said it was smooth and fresh. So I'm sure the rest of the drinks would be the same! Foodwise is tastes typical of any other vietnamese restaurants (quality in GTA is pretty good) but taking one star off as I think the portion is a bit bit smaller compared to the pricing of the dishes. Would love to go back and try some of the other dishes and have another yummy drink! read more

I always surprise at how competitive the restaurant business is!! Since there is no menu posted outside Pho Bistro, and I was hungry and it was after 9 pm on a Sunday night... I just got stood up... I just want something warm and comforting to eat. This place is really nicely decorated for a Pho Joint, modern and chic with dark wooden theme.... Price for a Special Pho Small is $4.95!!! Pho Bistro is cheapest pho place I been to yet, aside places that might have lunch specials!! And for that price, the food is good.... broth has good depth and has a hint of anise.... Noodle though the dried type but was cooked properly. Cold Shrimp Rolls ($4) was disappointing! The shrimps were tiny and the rolls just look ugly and tasted so so... like something I made myself..... I would be back just for the Pho if I want a cheap, decent pho fix.. and with that price Pho Bistro is a good choice if I am in the area! read more

Service. When you order from the online menu there are no descriptions. As well I ordered pad Thai and I received a pho dish. When I called to let them know if the error the server told me I had made a mistake. After a couple of minutes she did offer to rectify the mistake but I had to go to back and pick up my correct order. It's unfortunate that they had to agree with me about the error. I will reconsider before going back. read more

Went at odd hours like 2pm on a weekday and still quite some diners having lunch. Service is great! We asked for cooked bean sprouts and it arrived cooked. We all got pho. Try to avoid the beef tendon ones, those are not that flavourful. Get the slices and tripes instead. read more

"Some high quality pho for a low quality price in a quality setting" So I've been eating a lot of Pho recently. A lot. I have yet to find a food that costs so little yet provides so much meaty and hearty goodness without the guilt or regret. Also it's available in a lot of places, and for the most part doesn't deviate too much in terms of flavour profile regardless of location or ingredients. The problem with Pho is it's hard to eat in the summer because it's so very hot outside so having a cool, air conditioned atmosphere to eat is paramount otherwise you'll need a towel during the meal to wipe off, especially if you like hot sauce and peppers in your pho. Having said all of that, in terms of all of the pho places I've been to, this is actually quite good. Very happy with everything I've had here. Atmosphere It's at Yonge/Steeles so right there around all of the shopping, car dealers, farmers markets and ethnic grocery stores. It's also adjacent to a lot of other really good businesses and restaurants that I want to yelp/check out as well. Free parking is also always a plus but the lot fills up quick, especially with a Pokestop right in the parking lot. Inside, nice atmosphere with quality finishes on the tables and decor that looks like an upper end AYCE sushi place. Ample room for seating and stone countertops on the tables is a plus. Very inviting. This is important as it doesn't feel as "Divey" or "grimey" as many of the "good places" have. Food Lots of choices when it comes to Vietnamese and Thai cuisine. Lots of combos, appetizers, and entrees. Of course the title said Pho Bistro so I got Pho. I got the house special pho (as I tend to do everywhere I go - best bang for my buck). I was very tempted to get a large, I mean I'll get to why in a second. I always view the Large as a challenge but I caved and got the medium partly because it was my first time there, and secondly I wanted to have another meal that day. The medium was MORE than enough. The flavours were very pleasent, subtle and strong in the right ways. Lots of noodles and enough meat (could always use more, but the meat content is more than fair). Supplemented with chili oil, sriacha, fresh basil, and other fresh herbs and veg. Very happy with it and would definitely order it again from here. Value The best part, the Pho ranges from $6.50 for a small to $8.50 for a large. Enough said. Are you kidding me? It's mega affordable, it's filling, and it's delicious. If you're in the area, it is tremendous bang for the buck. Would go again. read more

What a surprise to find a good pho place in a plaza full of unique korean gems! If you know me, you know I'm a noodle head so I was so down to find a place to eat in this area (seriously, if I'm ever lost, just look in this area and I'm probably somewhere eating) I was happy to see that this place is pretty big (I hate small pho joints.. it feels a bit.. mafia?). I was seated right away and the older lady (I think she's the owner) spoke amazing english with zero accent- which has NEVER happened to me at a pho place. She was very friendly and even complimented my tattoos, which was sweet. I love when staff make an effort to talk to you rather than just simply slide the bowl of pho towards you and then wait for you to pay, like every other pho joint. The noodles were very fresh and EXACTLY how I love my pho noodles. Texture and quality were all there. I was not a fan of the beef because it was already cooked by the time my pho reached my table. This was probably because my broth was hotter than Dr.Mike on instagram (amazing quality in pho btw) but I'm sure I can do what I usually do at pho 88- ask for the raw beef on the side so I can cook it myself hot-pot style. That way, I ensure that my beef is the right amount of rareness. We also ordered avocado and durian smoothies and DAMN, were they ever good. Holy- their blender is amazing and there were zero ice chunks residing in my delicious beverage. What blender do they use? Can I has? This place is a gemstone. read more

Probably my favourite pho place so far. Cheap, delicious and generous portions. I got the special pho (medium) and it came with huge portions of noodles and meat, the broth was very flavourful and they had this amazing chili sauce on the table. Service was friendly, quick and attentive. read more

Must try: Pho Bistro Spring Rolls It was a very enjoyable meal! We ordered the (1) Pho Bistro Spring Rolls, which I would definitely recommend to share. I loved the flavour of taro with the minced meat and shrimp, it's quite special and not your average spring roll. We also got the (2) Pho Bistro Special Combo Pho. There is a pattern eh... Always order the dish with the restaurant name in it, you can't go wrong. The pho was actually just alright, the portion was good, but the taste was sufficient, not phenomenonal. Last thing we got was the (3) Vermicelli Platter with Sugarcane Shrimp and BBQ ground pork. I always love the sugarcane shrimp, I can't explain why, I just have a weakness for eating such a street-eat finger food kind of treat. I also liked the fish sauce for the vermicelli. If I remember correctly it was somewhat different than what it's normally like. The ground pork was interesting too... Different flavouring than what I'm used to. The portion size was huge! After the two of us declared ourselves full, we still packed a whole box to go. Score. WYWH read more

A friend took us to his favorite neighbourhood pho. Was excited to try it out since I've been to many pho restaurants in Toronto. Decor and service was good; food came out quick. I ordered medium Pho Tai Nam $7.50. Was a good size pho with lots of meat and soup tasted good. Unfortunately soup wasn't very hot so took awhile for veggies and raw meat to cook. Also they don't use fresh noodles. Was also able to try the shrimp cold roll which was bland. Probably won't be back unless I am in the area and most likely will order something other than pho. read more

Huge hike in prices. I understand that they need to raise the price to keep up with the increase in ingredient price/wage but the price level now is a bit out of proportion to the taste/serving. Service is still good and place is quite clean. No complaints. I would still go here for the convenience but there is definitely better choices in the west end if you crave Vietnamese food. read more

Best Pho around the area. The broth is great and ingredients are fresh. If you looking just to have best Pho in a simple restaurant, this your place. read more

Where to begin... Well I will be honest by saying I might not come back here again, Manu selection in my own opinion is small I couldn't even find any egg noodle soup dishes.. we order the rice noodle special pho dac biet.. fresh shrimp rolls beef ho fan noodles an avocado shake and the 3 bean dessert thing.. price wise I think they charge too much comparing to other pho places.. food came out way too quick which I find is a bit odd usually certain dishes take time.. flavor of the food I found to be bland.. the beef ho fan noodle felt like they were soaked in soya sauce before they just threw in the pan to heat up the beef was cut very chunky and a bit tough.. the fresh rolls was not great it look like no effort was put into making them and it was filled more with greens then noodles and shrimp was very tiny.. the 3 bean dessert was lacking some sweetness and evaporated milk it was a very dry dessert when it should be like halo halo.. the pho dac biet was alright isnt better than any other pho places i have been to.. avocado shake i would say is the only thing i enjoyed along with my daughter.. What I found to be very odd was at one point I saw the people that worked there started filming a couple that was leaving and walking to their car which is creepy odd and disrespectful doesnt matter the reason cause it shows that if you do something wrong or give a small tip (cause tips are based on service and quality of food and isnt mandatory). And it seemed like any time you asked them for something like a bowl or small spoon or scissors they all look at one another laugh and talk and stare at you which I didn't like at all . washrooms are not parent friendly there is no place to change your child diaper if they are still in diapers.. So yes this is the reason why I wont be going back food wasn't great. Service was odd and somewhat disrespectful to me after what I saw and it isnt baby friendly in the washroom.. read more

Came back for a weekday lunch around 12:30 and this time, there was no huge line up like last time. :) My party was already seated and we promptly ordered our lunch of satay beef pho, rare beef, tripe and brisket pho, rare beef pho, fresh spring rolls and a grilled chicken with spring roll platter with a side of fried egg. At $45 including tip for 4 people, it was a satisfying meal indeed. Food arrived quickly and the pho was as good as I remembered it from last time. I'm deducting a star this time for not so fresh looking sprouts they served up with our meal. The little green chillies they served with the sprouts were not at all spicy so it didn't add much to the experience. Still a solid place for pho. I'll be back again read more

I ordered the pad Thai chicken. Overall pretty good. Fast service, Tasty food and good portion size except for the chicken... I counted 6 small pieces. However, they accept credit OMG and the server speaks perfect English versus the place I almost stayed... Entered asked for the menu and she didn't understand me. BTW, I don't have an accent...

Pho Bistro - Past Thai chicken - Thai Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

The pork chop and chicken on rice. The vermicelli dishes. The fried spring rolls with shrimp and pork. The coffee with condensed milk! The pho - raw beef! The Tom yum. The list goes on... This restaurant is always packed - prices are some of the best in the city for such a high quality of food. Owner is a great guy - he sells me large jars of Vietnamese coffee sometimes - saves me driving all the way to the market on Rutherford and Jane. I come here with friends and family once a month - it is a regular haunt and to be honest - there would be a hole in my heart if it ever closed. The Pho quality has dropped off a bit. Bbq meats still solid though. Noodles sometimes come out in a bit of a glob. Light on he noddle serving sometimes and others - too much. read more

It seems that everytime I go for Pho, my eyes get bigger than my stomach and say in my cockiest voice "Medium.. pfft, what do I look like? Better make it a large." And then it arrives, a salad bowl of broth, noodles, beef and bean sprouts and THEN I say to myself.... "dammit" This was a great bowl of Pho complete with all the essentials; perfectly cooked beef, flavourful brother, tender noodles, and all the right sides. Let's be fair, it's not hard to mess this dish up. This would be a 3 star to match the other reviews but I feel it deserves a 4th star for the attentive service, quick turnaround on my order and unreal price, $7.50 'pho' a large! ha ha Located just west of Yonge and Steeles in the same plaza, I'd recommend you pay them a visit! read more

This place beats all of the overhyped pho places on Ossington and Spadina! I'm surprised by the low ratings but that could be because of the thai food they serve, which we didn't try. We ordered a rare beef and well done flank pho, and a grilled chicken and pork rice with cold vietnamese coffee & condensed milk. Everything surpassed expectations! Pho: The broth was rich in beef flavour and delectably savoury. They're also not skimpy with how much meat you get. The noodles are just the right level of thickness and chewiness (not overcooked or too starchy). Rice: With the rice, you get a fish sauce mix with a kick that is absolutely delicious. The meat was well seasoned and tender. Viet coffee: real drip coffee with creamy condensed milk. Coffee was smooth and aromatic. In my opinion, the best pho place in the city! read more

First time coming to this place and to my surprise Pho Bistro was actually really really good. $8 for a large bowl of (good) pho doesn't really exist anymore. The portion was huge and the noodles were really good. The chili oil they provide is also amazing and smells great. I also got the coffee with condensed milk which was also great. Everything overall was just amazing. Verdict: Great. If you're in the area then you have to try this place out. It's a really solid pho joint, it's surprisingly clean for a good pho place and price-wise, probably the best I've had in a long time. That's all. read more

Till now, I have eaten mostly Vietnamese food at this restaurant. Last night, I had mostly Thai food and they were just as great. Mango salad, shrimp rolls, Curry dishes and BBQ meats on vermicelli. All were fresh and great. The Thai Basil Beef was a bit of disappointment though because it did not have any distinquishable taste other than more like a stir fry. Taste was still good but I was looking for more of the basil taste. The only frustrating thing was that this restaurant doesn't have a website so I had to go to the restaurant to order the food for take out. So, as a PSA, I have added their newest menu. read more

Usually when I go for pho it's a normal experience but this was a little above average. Not enough for me to give them 4 stars but still not a bad place. A couple of my friends brought me here. The decor seemed really modern, contemporary - nice. After being seated, it took a while for the pho to get to the table but wow was the portion HUGE. The noodles, the beef, everything tasted great and in addition to that, it wasn't expensive at all! Service wasn't great, the servers did not keep tabs on us at all and just hung around, which is why they don't get the 4 stars but when I say a little above average, the food tasted better than other places I've tried. If you're in the mood for pho and are nearby yonge and Steeles, give this place a try! 3/5 read more

Satay beef and combination - both average. Satay not spicy enough. Service very poor due to this one lady food server. "How many will use the chopsticks. If not everyone will use it, I will remove them because we have so many customers. " "Next time, ask for the small bowls also when you order the noodles..." The way she speaks to customers lack tact. Better replace her or teach her the basics. Careful - food that falls onto the table may not be safe to eat. Cleaner I saw wipe a section of the floor using the same cloth for the tables. Consolation - scallop with bacon skewers were ok. The service however overshadows whatever positives we got out of it. Alternative - Pho 88 at Steeles Warden Foody plaza still the best! The owners are very friendly and food is much better! read more

Get pho. Really one of the better phos in the GTA. Price is very reasonable around 12.50 for a medium sized bowl AFTER TAX AND TIP very tastey. nice meat. Tea is good. just get the pho. the pho comes fast, around 5-8 mins from order. service is minimal. they dont time the dishes such that everyone gets their food at once. they never gave us a metal spoon to eat the rice dish (shoulda gotten pho). at one point , someone was blending (like a vitamix) something and it was louder than world war 2 in the entire restaurant. BUT THE PHO WAS AWESOME. tea was good too seriously though. just get pho. curry is hella spicy. read more

Decided to try this place with my friends while in the area. Nice interior and looked pretty clean. We ordered a chicken pad thai, spicy satay noodle, and a regular beef pho. Service was pretty fast but we were quite dissapointed with the food. The noodles in the soups were all in one big clump and the beef was also in one large clump. The most dissapointing was the spicy satay noodle soup. The soup barely had any satay flavor and was pretty much just a regular beef soup with some chili oil. The pad thai was alright, noodles again were lumped together and were too mushy. Flavor was quite bland but luckily a squeeze of the lemon saved the dish. All in all, we would never return to this restaurant again as there are many better ones out there. read more

Good bargain. They are evidently Vietnamese but serve Thai and Chinese food as well. What we ordered was cheap, very tasty (great soup) and well-prepared. Total number of selections of each varierty is limited and the Thai stuff we ordered seemed to have a Vietnamese or foreign influence (Satay was deep-fried, but very tast that way). Nice friendly service - we will be back! read more

My usual go-to Vietnamese restaurant in the area. I usually order the P06 (pho with rare beef and beef balls), the broth is pretty spectacular and meat portions fair. They do give a lot of noodles which some people enjoy - I just ask for less. The vermicelli with grilled chicken is also delicious and fulfills my cravings every time. Also comes with lots of noodles - again, not complaining, I just ask for less :) I've also tried their Tom yum soup, green curry (great kick) and all the rolls they have. Delicious food, fast service! read more

We were away from our regular pho place and happened to come across Pho Bistro. Decided to give it a try and we were very glad we did. I ordered the standard rare beef and added spring rolls. We all agreed that the broth was very good. They were also very generous with the beef. Overall we all agreed it was a very good pho experience. It is a little out of the way for us so it won't become our regular pho place, but I would have no problem recommending it to anyone. read more

I was dropping off a friend in the plaza on a Thursday evening when I came across this restaurant. I was hungry and didn't think twice before walking in. There was a fair number of customers seated, mostly families and I thought it should be alright to try. I ordered a soup and Pad Thai to go and the order came faster than expected. When I came home to try the highly anticipated Pad Thai with shrimps I was very disappointed with the taste. I have tried curry pad thai all over North America at various restaurants and frankly did not expect such a bland taste. I could barely taste the crushed peanuts if there was any in it. All I could taste was the noodle and curry. The spicy chicken soup was good though. It had all sorts of vegetables including mushrooms, broccoli, bell peppers, celery and more. read more
