    Yes. This place is worth the hype. This chain from Ho Chi Minh City just opened their second location in the GTA in Baldwin Village a few Weeks ago. Came in a Monday mid afternoon so not terribly busy. Had a combo - pho and appetizer for $19. The broth is the star of the show! Clear, flavourful and tasty. The tendon in the pho was tender which is amazing - sometimes it's quite chewy. The food came out quickly - the appetizer (fried wonton) came after the pho - probably cuz it took longer to prepare. Sat in the glasses seating area out front. Great view people watching on Baldwin Street. Will definitely come back and try to other dishes in the future. Had to try the pho first of course!!

    Pho Le located along Baldwin St. near Beverley St. is a Michelin-recommended Vietnamese eatery from Ho Chi Min City. Their original location in Vietnam has been open for 55 years already where they want to bring the taste of Vietnam's national treasure to Canada's diverse food scene. This is Pho Le's first downtown location where their very first location in the GTA is in Richmond Hill. Menu wise, Pho Le specializes in Vietnamese cuisine where there are zero additives added to their broths and soups. The menu mainly has appetizers (deep fried wonton, chicken wings, papaya and mango salad, spring and fresh rolls), noodle soups (pho (beef and chicken!), bun rieu, bun bo hue, laksa, tom yum, hu tieu, as well as pho with beef ribs), vermicelli bowls, and broken rice dishes. For drinks they have your classic Vietnamese iced coffee where a phin is used, Thai iced tea, lemon teas, etc. They also have combo sets where you can get one noodle soup, and one small size appetizer, all for $19. Currently in their soft opening phase, I stopped by Pho Le on their opening day for lunch around 1pm. The place wasn't busy (didn't think a lot of people knew they were opening today) and I was able to grab a seat right away. Staff were friendly and service was great. They made sure to answer any questions I had about the menu and checked in with me during my meal to make sure I was doing okay. A ramen spot previously was in this space and the interior has been beautifully transformed to Pho Le. There is a bar at the front and seating in the front of the eatery as well as in the back. Washrooms are downstairs and are not accessible. They accept cash as well as card (no cash discount though!). Food wise, I ordered a regular size pho dac diet (signature beef noodle soup with rare beef, brisket, tendon, and beef balls) which was $16.50. I also ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee and asked for less condensed milk as I like my coffee less sweet - $5.25. Food arrived at a reasonable time. My coffee was brewed with a phin so I had to wait for it to finish dripping. I did get a glass of ice on the side. For the pho, even before tasting the broth I knew that it would have a clean taste as there was not much oil in the broth at first glance. First sip, the broth was tasty where you could tell no additives or MSG were added. It had a subtle flavour of beef which tasted great. Moreover the ingredients in the broth were of high quality where they also used fresh noodle. On each table there were several condiments like chili paste, siracha and hoisin sauce to add flavour to your noodles. Overall, tasty pho and great service in a beautiful new space in Baldwin Village! Definitely will return to try the bun rieu next time.

    Pretty great pho resto and in a lovely area downtown nestled on Baldwin street. Ordered a BBH and it was delicious and flavourful.

    I visited on a Friday night at 6:20 PM, and there were plenty of tables available. I had been…read moredebating whether to try this restaurant for a while, and while I'm glad I did, I'll still be going to my favourite Vietnamese spot down the street, Anh Dao. I ordered the bun bo hue, pho, and spring rolls. The bun bo hue tasted more like a spicy pho broth, and the pho reminded me of the broth at the Michelin recommended restaurant on Ossington. Overall, the bun bo hue and spring rolls were just okay, nothing special. The pho was good if you're looking for something simple. They also put a large piece of beef tendon in the pho, which I loved! One thing I didn't like was that the owner seemed to be rushing us to order, which felt a bit off putting. I'd come back for the pho and spring rolls, but I'm not sure about the other dishes.

    This place is always clean, and the food always arrives fast. The staff are very friendly, and the…read morequality of the food has al ways been consistent. This really is soul food when you're feeling sick. My one quarrel with this place is the extremely small wide of their "large soup bowls" this is just terrible. I wish they would just go back to a regular large bowl of soup. This is the smallest "large" pho soup size I've had just about anywhere I've been. Honestly amazing place, but the portion of the soup really really irks me. Also the fried spring rolls are a must try! Incredible every single time.

    New Viet restaurant joins us on Augusta Avenue in Kensington. This was previously a crepe place…read more This pho spot has an original version in the burbs so they know what they are doing. The store front looks inviting and once inside the thought and details of the interior speaks to their experience in welcoming diners. Beautiful inside with a fresh and clean vibe. I had a fish cake with dill vermicelli soup which was delicious. It came with the usual side of sprouts and greens to use as toppings. My bill was $23 with tip on my card for the soup. Service was quick and efficient with plenty of staff around to help you enjoy the experience. The front patio is really nice! Will be a great spot to eat while people watching at this iconic corner.

    Inconsistent at the moment…read more I've been there 2x for the same order #45 tomato, softshellcrab w vermicelli. The soup on my first visit was great, had depth, flavourful! I tried to finish the broth because it was so good. I would have given that first bowl 4 stars! Today was terrible! It just felt like a super water-downed broth that I didn't want to drink. Everything was just boiled and dumped in a water-downed soup base. The least they can do is use broth and dump it in the seafood tomato based soup. This was a 9pm dinner. They had their own family visiting to close up shop at 11. I tried asking them what happened to the broth today but they didn't speak English or just decided not to. It was disappointing for a bowl of $21 + tax noodle that was just pretty bland tonight even though it looked the part.... Sigh 2 stars today but couldn't average it out to 3 because now I remembered the spring rolls from the first visit were soggy Yes they are friendly but don't know if it's a place you should come before 7pm to catch the good broth?

    They have 5 types of dry noodles with pork tossed with sauce, which is super hard to find as a dish…read more(even if you look for similar dishes in Singaporean, Malaysian, Thai and Cambodian cuisines). The dry noodle dishes under the green column use egg noodles & those under the brown use rice noodles but the toppings & sauce are the same. The most pricey rice noodles are Japanese but otherwise the difference is width. Got the thin egg noodle version in large. It's recommended to add pickled garlic & red vinegar. The soup was pretty tasty with a natural sweetness, 2 springy half fishballs & a large, very fresh shrimp. The sauce was basically oyster sauce but pickled garlic, red vinegar, hoi sin & chili sauce were available to add complexity. The noodles weren't wet but were not dry either. Large was a very big bowl it came with minced pork, thin sliced pork beansprouts & greens. The pickled garlic was good. Also got a shrimp fritter on the side for $2.50. It was big with one tiny shrimp. The juxtaposition was comical but it was cheap. It was not warm but the fritter was crispy & tasty. Unfortunately the shrimp itself was dry & brittle. Service was good, especially for an Asian place.

    How do I keep forgetting this place? They have been around forever, and I mean literally forever…read more Perhaps I overlooked because they don't fall into the usual perception of Viet food, but it's definitely genuinely and authentically, Viet! Right down to the non-white washed clientele. I'd always prefer to dine where the "locals" dine, and being in a multicultural city like Toronto, it's difficult to fine a hidden gem that hasn't been invaded by foreigners (I'm laughing inside because I'm not Viet and am disliking myself for being that invader; however, I can pass for a Viet if I just point to the table I want and the menu item I'd like ). So, please keep this place to yourself as I would hate to line up the next time I come.
