Just an update as they have expanded their property. The space is double the size and so airy and bright. Washrooms are beautiful and spotlessly clean. Food is as good as always and the menu has doubled as well. Highly recommend as always! read more

Good food and a massive selection. Tried to call in an order for pickup and it was so loud that the lady just said to come in and order. That added about 20 minutes to my time. read more

I usually love eating at Vietnamese restaurants and feel safe doing so as someone with celiac disease. Most places understand the condition and take great care. Unfortunately, that was not the case here. When I ordered, the first server didn't understand me, so the manager came over. She reassured me that she knew exactly what celiac disease was and suggested a vegetarian pho with chicken broth instead of veggie broth, since the veggie version contained soy sauce. She promised me 100% that my meal would be gluten-free. Trusting her, I ate the dish. About an hour and a half later, I had one of the worst celiac attacks I've experienced. I ended up in the hospital, severely dehydrated and weak. This wasn't just discomfort -- it was a medical emergency. I cannot believe a restaurant can make such a mistake when someone's health is at stake. For people with celiac disease, this isn't a preference. Please, if you have gluten-related conditions, be extremely cautious here. read more

Who knew there would be a banger pho place in Oakville? We came for a very late lunch. There were a few tables of just 1 which was a sign that it's so good you'll make your way here to eat alone. When you walk in, you're immediately in the seating area. You can head to the back where the host counter/bar area is. We had our pick of the seats and because it was freezing, we chose to sit closer to the back of the restaurant. A lot of other customers also opted to sit in the same area. There's also a TV in the back with the hottest CP24 news so there's a lot back there. The menu had a good mix of dishes like soup, rice, and noodle dishes. They do some Thai and Chinese items as well. I went with a small pho tai. I was so happy with how good the broth was! Tons of flavour, even after I added in the bean sprouts which I always find dilutes the soup a little. At the end of a great meal, you have to pay up at the counter and it is cash only. read more

My rating is 4.5 stars. My good friend, who is also my colleague, lives in Hamilton. I'm in Markham. We hadn't seen each other since last September. We decided that it was time to get together safely. Oakville is becoming a special town for us. When we do meet roughly halfway distance-wise, it's here. We both like it. She will be moving out of Hamilton soon and has Oakville on her mind. I hope she does, too. I am discovering how cool it is. We had a late lunch date two Saturdays ago at 2:30 pm at Pho Mama. We love pho. Many of our past lunches on Fridays when we were in the office were at a local pho place. She was running late, so our time got pushed to 2:45 pm. It happens. We met just in front of Pho Mama after we had parked in the plaza. There was plenty of parking. I finally figured out where Boon Burger is after all these years! We both haven't dined in an eatery (the actual restaurant, and not a tented or patio area) since the pandemic started. For the germaphobe (friend) and a person who hasn't been comfortable with dining in these days (me), we both bit the bullet and headed inside. There was a couple eating when we walked in. The male staffer signalled whether we needed a table for two by doing a peace sign. Yes! He had us eat in a cozy corner, completely away from everyone. We felt safe and comfortable. The menu is extensive. It's Vietnamese and Thai fare. I went with the vermicelli (bun), and selected grilled chicken and pork as my protein. My friend asked for suggestions. She actually ordered my usual item when I'm not having vermicelli. She got rare beef and beef ball pho. She got a large. The largest size is an XL. To start, we got the pork deep-fried spring rolls. They came first. My rating would have been perfect without having these spring rolls. They needed to have a crispier exterior. I felt like they were more on the mushy side. Otherwise, the flavour and dipping sauce were on point. The portions are huge here! I brought my appetite, thankfully. My vermicelli was mighty filling. The grilled pork and chicken were so flavourful. The crispy pork skin was the highlight of my eating experience. Excellent! The grilled pork and chicken were tender and downright yummy. I loved the veggies and vermicelli. They were done perfectly. Mix everything with the sauce that comes with the dish and I was a happy camper. My friend enjoyed her pho. The large was huge! It looked large for a large, and not a medium that you thought was marketed as a large. True to size, folks! The rare beef was tender and the beef balls were so huge that they were cut in half. She couldn't finish it all, but loved it so much that she got it packed up. We spent over two hours eating, laughing, and catching up. She starts her workday at 7 am thanks to working with a team in India. I am fortunate that I only attend a meeting at 7 am once a month, but I tend to start work just after 8 am. I only see and chat with her online during our weekly team meeting, so it was great seeing each other in person for a change! Staff were so nice. They catered to getting a fork for my friend and little plates for our spring rolls. I paid for our lunch at the counter and let them know that their food was yummy. I paid using a debit card. Tap and done. We both needed to use the restroom before we hit the road. There are two single stalls. The one that I went to was clean. I liked the cactus arrangement on the sink. I felt so safe and comfortable during my first pandemic dine-in experience. We lucked out, for we are in a lockdown-emergency-brake situation in Ontario right now. I am grateful that we timed our outing perfectly. Other than our mushier-than-usual spring rolls, the food is top notch here. I'd come back to give the pho a try next. (139) read more

They offer varied type of food expect for the typical pho. The price is reasonable and food is above average. As for the service, it is hard to expect high standard service during rush hours (yes, they looks super busy). It is a good place to grab a lunch/ take a sip of warm soup read more

Did a couple of u er eats from here as they are close to me. The food itself is okay. It seems fresh, but the o my thing I wish they'd improve on is the actual size of the meat. I don't like eating only noodles with soup. I like the toppings. read more

FOOD: We had come here on a Saturday night at around 6:30 pm for dinner as we were in the area, and had noticed that there were many excellent reviews for this restaurant. I had started off with an appetizer, settling on the Pork Spring Roll (Cha Gio; $5.25), which was quite delicious; crisped to perfection, and with a large amount of pork and other well-prepared items within the roll itself. I loved how large it was, and that it was cut into many pieces, making it easier to dip into the sauce that was given. It definitely set the tone for the remaining food items that were to come! Next, I had settled on the Beef Pad Thai (Pad Thai Bo; $11.99), which included a large helping of noodles, with a variety of bean sprouts, peppers, peanuts, and large beef pieces. This was one of the largest pad thai dishes I had ever eaten, and loved how the dish stayed hot (temperature-wise) for a long-time after it was served to me. I also loved the large amount of peanuts that were given on the side of the dish, which I gladly spread around the noodles. Placing the oyster sauce on the noodles made them taste even better, leaving a delicious taste in my mouth for hours afterwards. There was so much of the pad thai that I had to take it home, which was great as we had leftovers for the next day. The flavours all mixed-well in the dish, along with the large amount of vegetables, beef, and peanuts that were given; definitely a great pad thai dish! My husband had settled on the Large Pho Beef Noodle Soup (Nam Gan Bo Vien; $10.50), which he found to be scrumptious as well! ATMOSPHERE: We noticed that this restaurant was a tad on the small side, as the tables were very close together, and a draft from the door would come into the restaurant each time someone used the door. We would have liked if there was more room to get in-between the chairs and tables, as we had our toddler son with us, and it was difficult to manoeuvre around the restaurant safely. We were sitting at a table near the serving counter at the back, which was better for privacy however, we were sitting beside a large table that had a variety of food items on it, which we figured was for a large take-out order. We did find it a bit strange that the food was sitting there in the open for a long period of time however, we didn't think anything of it, and just continued to enjoy our meal. SERVICE: When we had come into the restaurant, we were greeted by a younger gentleman, that brought us to our table. We then had to get our own high-chair which we found to be a bit strange however, we noticed that the staff were busy, and didn't want to bother them any further than necessary. We were given our dishes quite quickly, and the server did come and refill my water glass after I had asked for more water, along with bringing some cutlery for myself and my son. The server then asked at the end of our stay how the meal was, and seemed excited when we had told him that it was delicious considering it was our first visit. COST: 1 Pork Spring Roll (Cha Gio): $5.25 + 1 Beef Pad Thai (Pad Thai Bo): $11.99 + 1 Large Pho Beef Noodle Soup (Nam Gan Bo Vien): $10.50 - $27.74 + Tax = $31.35 WOULD YOU RETURN? We loved how delicious the food tasted, and the large portion sizes, along with the excellent prices for the food we had received. We did find the restaurant a bit uncomfortable however, that wouldn't deter us from returning again! read more

The best Pho Bun Hue in town . Their garlic and vinegar table sider is just amazing adds on. The only unfortunate thing is that this place only accept cash and debit,. No credit card options whatsoever. read more

Ordering Pho was different at first but when I thought about it it made perfect sense. Instead of sifting trough a list to find what you want, you pick 3 toppings. So genius! The broth was delicious and not flavoured with salt and msg. The spices and flavours really shine through. In addition you get pickled garlic, chilli garlic sauce & pickled peppers which are fire. Ordering the xtra large you definitely get ur $'s worth when it comes to size and noodles as well as toppings It's a bit out of our way but it's definitely worth it. Our new fave when we go out to Oakville. read more

Visited there on Jan 1st 2020. I was actually really glad that they were open on that day. Pho was good. We ordered a large and i think it was a good portion. Vermicelli was a bit disappointment because of chicken. Chicken was dry but other than that, it was okay.. I would go back for their pho. read more

What a lovely addition to my Bachelor Monday. I ordered delivery here for the first time and was very impressed. I decided to go with with the classic rice noodle soup. In the delivery app, there was a choice of 3 meats and that was a bit confusing because I only wanted to add rare beef. I just ended up selecting rare beef three times so the order would go through. The meal was delivered fast, packaged great, and hot! The beef was fresh and they didn't forget the sauce I requested on the side. I'm always impressed by the quantity vs. price when I get pho, and Pho Mama was no exception. I also ordered fresh shrimp rolls on the side which were also delicious and filling! Overall it was a satisfying meal especially on a cold day. I'm glad I tried a new place and am excited to continue to order from here! read more

The beef pho was delicious! The broth and fresh herbs will bring you back for more. I will definitely come back for more Beef Pho. Good atmosphere. read more

Food was good and came out quick. Staff was nice to an uncultured white boi like myself lol. Place was a little cramped but not to bad, might be an issue when they are busy. Would go again! read more

We've been craving pho and remembered a new pho place that opened in the area and decided to give them a try. They were opened on Canada Day so it was perfect! We ordered an order or shrimp roll, bun bo hue (bbh) and a pho with rare beef, brisket & beef ball. We were pleasantly surprised with how delicious and flavourful the broth was! The bbh was incredibly spicy, packed with flavour and tons of meat. The pho was delicious and the broth didn't taste artificial. The shrimp rolls did not disappoint! It wasn't overloaded with too much veggies and it was super fresh! The service was great. Servers were attentive as we said no bean sprouts, no pork blood (in the bbh) and opted for rice noodle as opposed to bun noodles. They got everything right! Would definitely recommend Pho Mama to anyone in the Oakville area and would return! read more

This place is amazing - some of the best pho I've had in years. I'd been craving pho for a while, so a few weeks ago I went to another place in Oakville that had been around for a while and it kind of disappointed. So I was hoping that Pho Mama lived up to the reviews, and it did. We ordered takeout and when we arrived to pick up our food we were greeted by friendly staff who already had our food ready and waiting. I loved that you can "make your own pho", meaning that you choose what three toppings you want. It's not like some pho places where there are a million options, each with a different combination of things. This is simple - you just choose what you want in it. We ordered a large Pho with beef brisket and two portions of lightly fat beef. The broth was really flavourful and not bland or artificial tasting, and they didn't skimp out on the amount or quality of the toppings as well. Because we ordered takeout, the beef/broth/noodles/bean sprouts came separately. You just put it all together when you get home. We also ordered the bbq pork vermicelli with spring roll. The bbq pork was so full of flavour and nicely cooked, and the spring roll was perfectly crispy and tasty as well. The portion size was also pretty good for takeout. The two dishes were enough to feed the two of us, and it came out to around $20 + tax. read more

Simply the best Pho in Oakville. I judge based on broth and meat without any sauce, and this Pho is very good. Doesn't even need the hoisin but I love my hoisin lolll read more

One of my new go to's for Pho. I like the pho concept they have here. You pick what goes into your pho. No preset pho dishes. I load mine up with lightly fat beef. So delicious. You have the standard meat selection and the option of choosing 3 meats. There are 3 sizes to the pho. Sm, Lg and XL. No in between. read more

Pho Mama - Beef Vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Oakville, Ontario

Vermicelli with chicken and spring roll was very good I would rate it a solid 7.5/10. The chicken and noodle portion size was much much smaller than Pho Mi 89--you definitely would not have leftovers. I did ask for less noodle and more veggies but even the veggie portion was on the skimpy side. I was impressed with the seasoning of the meat --it was marinated and grilled nicely. Veggies portion consisted of bean sprouts, cucumber and some carrot with crushed peanuts which I enjoyed. Spring roll was unremarkable and had an egg aftertaste --I would probably pass on ordering again. Service was quick and efficient no complaints. I will be back. read more

Ratings: Food: 9.5/10 Drink: 9.5/10 Service: 10/10 Value: 9/10 Hygiene: 9/10 Aesthetics: 9/10 For the last few months, I had been wondering what happened to the owner of pho Vuho and how come the taste had changed. Then I saw this store opening where yummy pho used to be. Turns out the owner and chef at Vuho sold it and has opened here! Coming here, I ended ordering pho with rare beef, tendon, and beef balls, goi cuon, bi cuon, and an avocado shake. The first thing I noticed about the menu was that it is smaller than the menu they had at Vuho. This is because now they listed options in the pho, bun, and rice. The pho only seems to have a max option of 3 toppings, but to be fair most people don't really go for all the options usually and it makes it more streamlined. Taste is same tasty broth and the quality of the toppings is great. The rolls are fantastic. The pork salad rolls are flavorful and a good amount of pork so that every bite has some. The spring rolls have a nice lightly fried skin and the filling is moist and delicious. The avocado shake is well blended and the avocado stands out. It's not overly sweet but not lacking either. Just the right flavours! The cost is typical, around $7-10/entree. The portions were pretty good for me, but for those looking to eat a little more I'm sure the XL bowls should be enough. The store is located the same plaza as Fortinos in one of the corners. The layout is actually bigger than it initially looks. There is space for a larger group, but anything over 12 people will find it a little troublesome. The service here was very friendly and courteous. The staff is always helpful and attentive. This is now my regular spot to grab pho. I'm eagerly awaiting when they can serve banh xeo (Vietnamese pancake) as this is probably one of the only places on the west side with this on the menu. Definitely recommended! read more

Not bad. But for me it's not a 5-star place. I ordered ed lemongrass chicken on vermicelli to go. As you can probably tell from the photo, there's not too many of chicken and they are all small pieces; the chicken taste good though! Maybe their pho would be better! read more

Delicious. Wide variety of dishes, good service and reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Reasonable price and large servings. Good food that feels healthy to eat. They use reusable plates, cups and cutlery, which is great and better for the environment and city. I would definitely go here again. But only debit or cash accepted. read more

No this place has gone down the drain. The owner changed. It's not the same pho mama as before. Pho was watery af. Like drinking water. No taste of rich flavour from before or any flavour. Also they use the cheapest cut of beef - there is no actual beef, they just give you cuts of fat now. I do not recommend at all. read more

Great food. Quick service. Came with 2 kids and 4 adults and for some it was their first experience if Vietnamese cuisine.

Friendly staff and good pho. I will return next time I'm in Oakville. I like how their pho menu let's you select as many proteins you can add to your bowl at no extra charge, so you can create your own custom pho. read more

This is one of the nicest Pho places I've seen in a long time. This was desperately lacking in our neck of the woods. They were also very courteous and even kid friendly. They brought cute plastic cups and plates for the little ones. It was a great touch. We ate our usuals. (fresh rolls, pho, mango salad) It waa a very good and we're happy to have found our new GO TO place! read more

The broth taste like water. No flavour and the price point for a medium or even a small bowl is ridiculous. First and definitely the last

Consistently the best pho place in all of Oakville. I highly recommend the vermicelli with grilled pork, bon bo hue, and any variation of their pho. Delicious food, amazing (super friendly) service, and interesting decor. read more

Just got back from pho mama with my family. Had a wonderful time. The owner there is super nice and welcoming. Such great customer service and great food. Food is authentic, which is hard to find in Oakville. Had our 6 month old and 2.5 year old with us. Usually I dread dining out with my kids, but the owner gave us some kid utensils and dinnerware and talked to my daughter which was nice. Saw people ordering take out there too and they were offered tea while they looked over the menu. Would definitely recommend this place!! Try them out if you want some real good Chinese/viet food!!! read more

You will not be disappointed. read more

Came here for lunch and it was a welcome surprise to find a new spot for our pho cravings. We've been to a lot of Pho restaurants in Toronto and this crushes many of them and it's great that's it's not too far from us now that we are in Oakville. Pho broth was very tasty and contained lots of good sized portions of meat. We also ordered one of their Vietnamese ice coffees with condensed milk and it tasted like it was freshly roasted with a good strong coffee flavour. Took some time to get the coffee but it was well worth it. Otherwise, the restaurant is a little small but very clean and comfortable. Will definitely be coming again and ordering take out from here. read more

Can't comment on the food since we left before we even ordered. The waitress decided to take the order of a table that arrived after we did. They seemed to pay more attention to a table of 7 that hadn't fully arrived yet and pick up orders. After 10 minutes of waiting, we walked out. read more
