The bun bo hue was on the sweeter side, it wasn't spicy at all, which they typically comes with some spice. We also got a rice roll dish and it was fairly disappointing.

However, we asked for some spoons for the sauce and both servers brought over chopstick instead. The place itself is big. There are many seatings available. During the time of our visit, it wasn't too busy.

The broth is light but incredibly flavorful and complex. The large size is pretty filling and comes with a generous amount of toppings (I usually get rare beef and beef balls). They also have a small size, which I think makes a good lunch size, and extra large size, which I haven't tried yet. Along with the pho they provide a plate of bean sprouts, basil, lime, and chili peppers. I've also gotten their shrimp rolls that I really enjoy. They come well wrapped (nobody wants a shrimp roll that falls apart) and taste very fresh and light. The peanut sauce that accompanies the rolls is delicious too! The service is always very pleasant and polite. They're attentive and quick whenever I need anything like refilling a drink. Inside the restaurant is modern and kept very clean, while tables are well stocked with serve-your-own chopsticks, spoons, and sauces. Overall, I can't say enough about Pho Fusion. I absolutely love their pho soup, making it my family's 'go to' pho restaurant!

Lemongrass chicken wings were excellent - very tasty, big & juicy with a subtle lemongrass flavour. They were not battered so they had more of a natural feel. Chicken, vietnamese sausage and BBQ pork fried transparent noodle with fish sauce wasn't good. It had a light flavour, with a little bit of smoky wok flavour, but it was not even; the colour of the noodles was variable, showing that the sauce was not absorbed evenly.

I don't usually trust places with chicken balls on the menu but I'm so glad we gave this place a chance. As a party of 6 on a Saturday at 8pm, they were able to easily accommodate us. Parking is also very easy to find. The menu is very extensive and can easily be overwhelming, with over 100 items. However the staff are very helpful in describing what each item is, recommending what's most popular and what they personally like. We never had Cambodian cuisine before, so we took their recommendations and they were bang-on! It was my first time having Cambodian-style pho - the soup base is garlic based rather than bone broth based, which honestly I think I prefer more! The wings were also crispy (not much special flavour) and beef skewers were very lemongrass-tasting, which was refreshing. Their prices are also not bad at all. If I was in the area, I would definitely come back.

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)

It was humiliating once the other team member asked again and another. Then they told me they asked as I entered while looking at my phone, as usually Uber Eats drivers are usually looking in their phones while entering the restaurant. No. They assumed I'm an Uber Eats driver due to my South Asian appearance. Restaurants need to stop assuming and humiliating. Just to be clear, it's not at all humiliating to be assumed an Uber Eats driver, I respect every profession. It's humiliated to be assumed something based on your race. Food was ok. Nothing special. I'll not recommend this restaurant.

As of late, work has been extremely busy and deadlines have been aggressive. I put in extra hours…read morelast Thursday and decided to leave work early my logging off my laptop at 3:30 pm on Friday to balance things out a bit. Since the pandemic started, I rarely go out on Fridays. My last meeting on Friday was with my manager, who said that it was warm outside. It was 23C. I decided to fetch some dinner at Pho VietStar, which is owned by the same folks at CrepeStar two doors down. I wore shorts and a t-shirt on Friday, which is quite a contrast to the current temperature of 6C on a Sunday afternoon! Pho VietStar is located at Aurora Shopping Centre. It's a plaza, so the name can be a bit misleading. I used to visit parts of Aurora monthly, but have never been in this area. There are lots of stores that I need to revisit here. There is plenty of parking. After I finished shopping at Best Buy, I pulled up the menu on UberEats on my phone. You can only get delivery on UberEats for Pho VietStar. I wanted takeout. I called Pho VietStar and placed my order. The woman on the other end was energetic and great to interact with. My order was placed and she advised that it would take fifteen minutes. I was impressed. She also asked if I needed cutlery. I said yes. I got there in fifteen minutes. I am fairly good these days when it comes to arriving at restaurants to pick up food. It's a nice skill that I have picked up during this pandemic! I parked and headed into the eatery. There are laminated menus everywhere, which makes walk-in orders a cinch. A young man greeted me. I said my name and my order was right in front of both of us. I met the woman who had placed my order. She said that my order didn't need cutlery and didn't add it. She went and got some. It was weird, but I was fine. She also gave me napkins, which I appreciated. I ordered these items: - Pork belly baos (two) that comes with fries - A side order of gravy - Chicken fresh rolls I paid using a debit card. It didn't allow me to tip, which was a bummer. I like using a fork to eat fries, especially when I'm dunking them in gravy. So, the cutlery move was good. I thanked both of them and happily walked out with my food. I got home and tore into my food. As much as I love my usual pho and vermicelli dishes, I also love pork belly baos. I saw photos online of them and knew that I wanted them. They were yummy! The veggies were crunchy and fresh. The pork belly was tender and flavourful. I would have put more protein in them, but they satisfied my craving for pork belly baos. If you have been reading my reviews for a bit, you'll know that fries aren't high on my list of sides. I'd rather get onion rings, a side salad, or sweet potato fries. However, I was game getting gravy. The fries taste homemade and weren't oily. You can see bits of potato skin on each fry. The gravy was perfect. It wasn't overly thick. It wasn't thin or salty. Just right. I enjoyed this combo. The fresh rolls are huge here! It was smart that they were separated by a banana leaf. The veggies here are amazingly crunchy and tasty. The vermicelli was done right. The chicken was tender and flavourful. Again, I feel that there could be more protein in it. Maybe I'm just a protein hog. My food was impeccably packed and tasted so fresh with every bite. I will come back to have my pho and vermicelli dishes next. It's a decent Vietnamese place in Aurora for good eats, which has rekindled my fondness for the town. (394)

House special egg noodles (dry) were so-so. The noodles were a bit cold. The soup tasted like Chinese wanton soup with star anise. Koh Kong noodles were ok - like slightly spicy Pad Thai.

We ordered a vermicelli with pork sausage, grilled pork and spring roll, a stir fry rice noodles with assorted veggies and beef, chicken, shrimp, a deep fried chicken with butter and a mango milkshake. Since we ordered through door dash, all these came out to be $54 with tax and fees and everything which is quite pricey IMO. 1. Mango milkshake. Don't order this. It is so bland and tasteless that I almost can't tell it is mango milkshake. Almost like I know it's mango milkshake cuz i was told it is one. They must have added a tone of ice cuz it's all just bits of ice. Maybe they add only two chunks of mango to add some yellow color to it. It is bad. 2. Stir fried noodles with assorted meat and veggies. It is not the dry version as I expect, it's the saucy/wet style of Ho Fun. This dish is alright, reasonable. Good portion and still hot upon arrival. The shrimp is big and fresh but only two pieces. Overall a decent dish. 3. Deep fried chicken wings with butter. This is a very strange dish. First of all the batter is so weird it is thick it is chewy. The smell of the butter is there but the taste isn't. The meat itself is tender but the batter just ruined it. If you have tried the ones at The Pho Restaurant in markham, you will be very disappointed with this one. I definitely would not order it. 4. Vermicelli with spring roll, grilled pork and pork sausage. This dish is pretty good. The grilled pork has strong bbq taste to it, the pork sausage was also good. The spring roll however is a all-meat spring rolls which is also kinda strange to me. Didn't like it. The meat are on the salty side but balance well with the vermicelli. Vermicelli is on the thinner side but is a tad bit warm and does not clump together. For such price it paying, really have higher expectations for it. The pho restaurant in markham is still my favorite Vietnamese restaurant.
