Before coming, I read a lot of Yelp reviews, so my expectations weren't high. The actual experience…read morewas a mix of pleasant surprises and disappointments. First, the pros: their burgers are definitely a highlight. The patties are very substantial, with a genuine meaty flavor, not the mass-produced kind. The toppings are also well-chosen, not just piled on haphazardly. The plating is also a plus; it looks quite appetizing when it arrives at the table. The service is generally friendly, not overly enthusiastic but not unpleasant either. However, the cons are also quite obvious. The biggest problem is the inconsistent quality--some dishes are excellent, while others are rather ordinary, even making you feel like "something else tastes better." Plus, the prices aren't cheap, so if you happen to order an average dish, the value for money doesn't quite meet your expectations. Also, the restaurant lacks a truly memorable signature dish, making it less memorable after your meal.

Very convenient location just at the corner of Hwy 7 & Woodbine. This is a small pho restaurant…read morewith great service and good selection of Vietnamese food. It's also clean and spacious, we didn't have to wait coming here for lunch and had a pleasant time. We tried the hue-style noodles and the broth was rich and flavourful, not super spicy but with a very slight hint of heat. It's good if you're not too into spicy foods. We also got some picked garlic and peppers to add for a boost of spiciness. We also ordered their fruit smoothie with coffee which was such a delight! The coffee was rich and delicious and paired well with the coconut. Next time I'd want to try it with their durian flavour (for those who can handle the king of fruits). You can also build your own pho if you want to choose your own noodle bowl.

They had a separate menu for curry options, and that I'm always drawn to a good curry. This stir fry was so flavourful and sweet and spicy at once. It was the perfect portion size for me, and I was able to bring some home to enjoy for another meal. I definitely plan on returning and trying new dishes, because there's soooo many good options to pick from. There is an hour seating limit as it gets quite busy, yet the busyness of the restaurant didn't make us feel cramped at all. It had a personal and homey feel to it with the walls covered in all sorts of drawings. Overall, this was a great experience! I'm looking forward to coming again.

The broth was rich and tasty, although it leaned a bit on the salty side. The bone marrow itself was good, but I think I'd order the pho without it next time since I didn't feel it paired especially well with the soup. The service was attentive throughout the meal, and the seating was comfortable, making for a pleasant dining experience. I'd definitely come back, especially for the flavorful vermicelli!

Very authentic Vietnamese food. We came specifically because they had bahn cuon on the menu…read more Service is nonexistent but completely fine once I understood the process. 1. You're seated, and they drop off tea, menus, an order sheet, and a pen. 2. Write your order down and give it them. 3. Receive yummy food. 4. Pay with Canadian debit or CAD only. There is an ATM there in the lower level by the restrooms. If you can't get past the service (or lack thereof) I wouldn't recommend. If you're coming for the food, it's awesome! You know it's good when there's more Vietnamese people at the tables than anything else!

I just love me a hole in the wall. Yes. Yes. Yes!…read more Viet restaurant veterans know that service is what it is so, I can't complain. And they easily accommodated our table of 10. I had the Lemongrass Fried Chicken w/ Steamed Rice and sampled the Mung Bean Shake (made with actual mung beans). All so good. Overall, an excellent meal and time was had by all. I wish to return.

I was surprised at how large the portions were! I did find that the flavour of their fish sauce is on the lighter side so I had to ask for extra for my vermicelli. Otherwise, the food was good and I'd definitely return. One thing I think that could be improved upon would be the service. We went on a weekday around lunch time but it was not busy. They just seemed nonchalant / not very proactive. We had to flag them down just to place our order. There is also a little game you can play at the front where you can try to stop the timer at their specified time. I forget what the prize is, lol. Their floors are also insanely slippery in the winter, so be careful!

Tips: - This place takes debit and cash only…read more - The hot tea is scorching hot. 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.

The menu has been updated since last year to reflect the increase in food and transportation costs of their ingredients. Overall it has remained very similar in offerings compared to their original menu from last year which is a very positive thing.

The owner/waiter was friendly & attentive and greeted me with a glass of tea. I ordered P1. Medium - Pho Dac Biet $13.99 (Pho with meatballs, tendon, tripe, rare & brisket beef)... basically their version of the "House Special." So the broth was good. It is very flavorful without the need to add anything. The meats were also done to my liking: tendons soft with just enough bounce, tripe clean tasting. The noodles cooked perfectly, but the portion was a bit small compared to other Pho places like Metro Pho. My usual goto Pho restaurant. So the Pho was good and I would recommend and would visit again if in the area. But it would not replace my usual Pho place in Scarborough.
