Mmmm this is one of my fav viet places to eat in Durham …read more We only got take out here twice and both times it was pretty good The most recent time .. we got grilled pork , spring roll vermicelli($17.99) and medium special pho ($16.99) . Taste wise both were super delicious ! I loved the tangy sauce and pickled carrots ! The pork was marinated well but meat could have been more charred . Wasn't a fan of the spring rolls.. it was mostly taro filled and but on the heavier end . Portion wise was really generous . Price was is a bit more expensive than other viet places around them . Note - they doesn't accept credit , only cash and debt ! Would def return if around the area :)

Durham region has seen increasing number of Pho restaurants in the recent few years. Great thing…read morefor Pho lovers. To us, Pho Sam is our best in Durham so far. When we want Pho, often times we need very private, casual, therapeutic and homely comfort. We don't want to drive far as well. Hidden gem like Pho Sam is harder to find when Pho is becoming a boom, as restaurants can easily lose sight of the needs of individuals like us. This place is bright and clean and simple without over-essentializing decorations. Genuine. Refreshing as well. What makes here more special is their Bun rieu. Finding Vietnamese restaurants that serve this is difficult even in other parts of GTA - but Pho Sam has it here. Blessing. This place recharges my energy - feeling relaxed just like I am home. The owner and servers are friendly, attentive but not intrusive. Therapeutic. See you soon, THE Bun Rieu :)

A couple of Wednesdays ago, after work, I had an early dinner at this Pho Anh Vu on Highway 7 in Vaughan, between Keele and Jane streets. I have passed by this eatery a number of times since it opened. It was time to check it out. This location used to be Veg Italiano. There used to be a pho place a few doors down. It is now a Turkish eatery. This small plaza does have some turnover. However, the Turkish place and this eatery have been here for at least a couple of years. I hope they remain. I got here at around 3:30 pm. I had no problem finding a parking spot. I backed into a vacant one and walked in. I was immediately greeted by a male staffer. I got to sit wherever I wanted. I chose a booth by the window. I got menus to peruse. There were two other tables with customers. It was nice. Hot tea came to me with two cups. The hot tea was exceptionally piping hot. I used both cups to pour tea into them and let them cool. I was ready to order. It took a long time to get a server to come over. The woman at the counter noticed that I was ready and flagged the male server to take my order. I got these items: - Soda lemonade - Grilled chicken on vermicelli with spring rolls My soda lemonade came first. It was fizzy, cold, and refreshing. I loved it so much. I would get it again in a heartbeat. It also helped me down my food as I waited for my hot tea to cool down. When my tea was finally at a temperature that wouldn't scorch my tongue, it was fragrant and yummy. I loved the grilled chicken. It was flavourful and grilled to perfection. The vermicelli was generous and yummy. The spring rolls were stuffed and crispy. This dish came with dipping sauce that I ended up pouring on everything. I feel that I needed more of it. I paid at the counter with a debit card. I tapped and was good. This eatery got busy after 4 pm. My guess is that everyone came to watch the Canada-Switzerland FIFA game. It got tense in the place. Eventually, Canada lost this game. I used the washroom before I left. It was beautiful and clean. It's a decent location that serves good food. The tea was too hot. Service started off slow, but was a lot better once my order was place. I'd love to return to try more items off the menu. (280)

Came here twice during my Toronto trip last month - and both times were overall solid experiences…read more Place was very clean and bright, however I find the tables a little tight, especially when you have large winter jackets to deal with. Service was relatively fast despite it being very busy. Team was friendly and knowledgeable. However, the second time i was there, my bun bo hue toke way longer to arrive, the table was halfway done there meals when my bowl finally arrived. A little bit of communication would have been nice, just got the "it's coming" the two times I asked about where it was, no timeline or anything. Spring rolls were kind of bland, no real flavour - however the crunchiness hits the spot. Bun bo hue when it arrives is truly amazing! The perfect amount of spice - makes you sweat a bit without killing you - you can still taste everything you're eating! I do prefer Toronto's Pho Anh Vu over the Vancouver location, somehow the Bun Bo Hue doesn't hit the same over here.

A craving for Vietnamese food brought me and a friend to Phomono Vietnamese Cuisine in Ajax. It was…read moremy first time here so it took me a few minutes to go through their menu, presented on an electronic tablet. I finally chose their Grilled Beef on Vermicelli and my friend had their House Special PHO. The pho included a little bit of everything (rare beef, beef ball, beef brisket, beef tendon & beef tripe), as well as the usual bean sprouts and basil on the side. It looked good and my friend really enjoyed it. My dish was also quite good - nice presentation and good flavours. There was a generous amount of beef sitting on top of the vermicelli, along with a tasty spring roll, and a simple salad. Adding a little hoisin and hot sauce made it perfect! The food and service were good enough to warrant a future visit. Stay tuned...

We came here for Mother's day and they gave put complimentary cassava cakes to the mothers. Small gestures like this go a long way in creating connections and friendship with your customers.

I came here twice during COVID times and finally decided to do a review …read more Ordered: XL house special pho and chicken / pork vermicelli with spring rolls Price- tad more expensive than regular pho places . Both were close to $12 each Size - portion was smaller than regular pho places especially the pho. The extra large felt like a regular sized . Also less meat .. Taste - more bland than regular pho places . The pho had to be the most bland soup I've ever tasted . Vermicelli was ok , tad more bland than what I'm use to but I didn't mind it Final comments - the thing that I really didn't like was they didn't give us any fresh herbs for the pho . It tasted almost like chicken soup with a tad bit beef flavor The first time I thought they must have forgotten it but same thing second time ! Also no peanuts on the vermicelli...and no tendons in our special pho O.o

I got 2 oz of beef in a large... Scarborough gives you 6 oz. I'm litterally eating a plain soup. Lol The flavours are their the portions are not. This location is 13 mins from my house while the other location is 24 I'd rather the extra 10 minutes to get proper pho than waste my money hear. It sucks to leave a bad reviews during a pandemic but it is what it is. Don't rip off customers. I'll just continue going to the Scarborough location

I've been looking forward to try this place for awhile . Unfortunately it was a disappointment…read more Ordered: - Crispy Pad Thai with chicken : chicken was very limited ( there was more tofu ) and extremely dry. Portion was very small for the price $18. Noodles were not crispy and super oily/ soggy - granted I ordered take out. It tasted like the soggy won ton chips in a noodle dish :S - Khao Soi- this had to be the most authentic tasting dish . I'm not a fan of curry and thought this tasted not bad. Portion again was smaller than other places we've been to - KHAO PAD KA PRAO- this tasted like Chinese fried rice with super dry as sand beef. Taste wise was not bad but not authentic Thai and not what I expected. Again not worth it for the price point $19
