I have been here so many times over the years and can truly say that the food is soo delicious. My go-to dishes are the pho obviously, pad thai, fresh spring rolls, and on days where I go all out - the deep friend spring rolls. SO GOOD. The people are so friendly and service is fast! Highly, highly recommend. read more

Pho curry is everything. I haven't tried anything here other than Pho Curry, so this review is solely based on one dish! I've been here 3 times and the food has been consistently amazing! Ftiendly staff as well. If you like curry like me, try their Pho curry! Lol read more

Loved the Pho here. It was fresh and tasty. Reminded me of my great grandmothers cooking.

Nice spot for some authentic pho. Soup was great, isn't too salty or bland. Had the P1 (tripe, beef balls, rare beef) Paid $8.45 for a medium. Service was fast and waiting time was minimal. read more

Best Pho in Toronto! Delicious broth, good portions. Consistently awesome! Definitely suggest for all

I went because of the 4 star reviews but definitely feel like I got scammed. The pho broth lacked so much flavour , Felt like they just added water, MSG and salt to it so they wouldn't need ti make a new batch. Extremely thirsty after eating here. Ive never had such bad springrolls... Idk what other pol are saying but there are definitely places like Kimpo or Pho Q that make better vietnamese food. Id give 1.5 stars - 0.5 stars for service but it wasnt amazing enough to get the 2 stars. read more

I stopped in here with a couple other fellas during a work trip. The three of us really enjoyed our meals.

I've been here so many times - my "go to" restaurant for Pho! Food: Their food is always consistent which is important to me knowing that I know what to expect when my food comes. I always get the bun bo hue - it's honestly the best I've ever had and it's the perfect amount of spiciness for me. Drink: I love their avocado milkshake because they're not cheap on the avocado - it is a little on the sweet side though. Atmosphere: Spacious area with a TV about the kitchen window. Service: Even though some of them may not speak English well, they're still accommodating. Would definitely come back. read more

If you look at the history of my reviews, you will find MANY reviews of pho restaurants and Vietnamese places in general. I like to think that I sort of know what I'm talking about when I review these places. A pho pho-natic, if you will. It's tough to stand out as a Vietnamese restaurant in Scarborough. To say that they're a dime-a-dozen would be an understatement. But Pho Metro has to be applauded for being the quintessential pho restaurant - they are everything you want from a pho restaurant and exactly nothing else. Do you want to end off a late night with a semi-substantial meal? This is probably your best bet. Hungover to death and craving something soup-y? This is the place to go. Since my first visit to Pho Metro just a few months ago, I've gone multiple times, just because I know exactly what to expect every single time. The end result is consistent - delicious broth, a generous serving of noodles and meat (relative to size), and incredibly quick service. Sure, they might not be winning any Michelin stars, but that's not the point. Pho Metro sticks to what they're good at,and that, to me, is a beautiful thing. read more

One of the newest restaurants in Scarborough (a friend told me it opened in May 2010), I went here with my friend and a group of cool people he was hanging out with to grab some lunch. Most of the people in our party (10+ people) ordered Vermicelli noodle dishes since it was during the summer time. Only a few people ordered pho or another type of noodle dish. I had the B7, the Bun Bo Nuong, Cha Gio, which was the Grilled Beef with Spring Rolls with Vermicelli and vegetables. I thought it was a really tasty and filling noodle dish. Vegetables were chilled and fresh, the vinaigrette and peanut bits made the lettuce and noodles tastier to eat. The beef was delicious and flavourful. The Spring Rolls were initially really hot, fresh off the kitchen, but had the right amount of crispiness on the outside, and was so warm, soft, and somewhat meaty on the inside. This place probably had one of the best Spring Rolls I have eaten in the Toronto area so far, and surprisingly better than the ones in the Vietnamese restaurants back in Boston. The person sitting next to me, ordered a large P1, the Pho Dac Biet, which Pho with various slices of beef, such as flank and tendon. I did not get to eat it, but it appeared that they are generous with the beef portions and they give somewhat thicker noodles compared to the Pho places in Boston. My friend got the B5, the Bun Thit Nuong, Cha Gio, which is the same dish I got, but with grilled pork, rather than grilled beef. Decor appears to be simple but clean. They have a big flat screen TV where you can watch some news to keep you informed about what's going on in Canada and other places around the world (they were showing CTV News). Overall, I thought this is a pretty good Vietnamese restaurant with solid food and I would not mind coming back here again for a decent dish. read more

This is a great place to get pho!!! The broth is flavourful, the servings are plentiful, the chandeliers makes for a modern, chic ambiance, the sides (basil/bean sprouts and shredded cabbage/a generous chunk of lime) are plentiful and fresh. Came here for the spring rolls and the pho with tripe/rare beef/flank and beef balls. There were adequate amounts of each of each of the ingredients in the soup. I was really impressed that the sides offered were overflowing and abundant, with no wilting leaves/pieces in sight. The place itself looks clean and inviting. After all these positives, what makes this place above other pho places is that it offers way better atmosphere, quality, abundance, freshness, meat than the average pho place and they sell it for about a buck or two cheaper than it's closest competitors in the area. read more

Fast service even though this place is ALWAYS busy. Rare beef Pho is excellent. The deep fried pork/shrimp rolls are so delicious. Definitely my go to spot for Pho. read more

Their pho is authentic and delicious! We come here often since we live by. The parking is limited but we always find a spot. The plaza is ghetto and they are perfectly positioned. B11a is our go to! Oh and their viet coffee is BOMB read more

Broth was so delicious. Make sure to get fatty beef brisket, the soup it comes in is very rich. Pay in cash, you get 10% off! read more

I'm giving this place 4 stars because it's my first time. I have to say, this is the best Viet restaurant in the east end. I found Pho Metro on Yelp with 4.5 stars, that's why we decided to give it a try. The prices are a little higher than your typical but the portions are also bigger. The restaurant is decent, big bathrooms and clean. I will definitely come back the next time I want a Viet dish in the east end. We had pho tai nam, bun rieu, fried spring rolls, pork/shrimp rolls, com dish, bun dish, mango salad, & mango shakes. There were 4 of us. read more

All pho restaurants should be modeled after this place. It's fracking clean, well run, quick service and the food is great. The owner is very personable and makes sure everything is to your satisfaction. It's like seeing the first rays of sun at dawn, a messianic sign that everything in the world will be okay and eating here makes life a little more bearable. read more

Great place, I don't usually eat Vietnamese outside because I'm critical of how its made and taste. But pho metro is by far a place I would recommend anyone wanting to try Vietnamese food. You will not be disappointed. read more

Cute spot! Would have walked right by it if it weren't for yelp telling me to try it out. Quick service, you order on a sheet and pay at the counter when you are done. Food smells and tastes amazing. The meat was great and not too chewy. I got the bein rein I think it was called with crab paste. The boyfriend got the P1 special. I liked mine more then he liked his. We also split the mango salad which was amazing with a sweet sauce and heaps of mango and apple. The restaurant was busy even though it was 2:30 on a Sunday. We got the last free seat. Basic decorations. read more

Great food and friendly owners. It's my go-to Vietnamese restaurant in the city. Never had a bad experience!

3.5 stars! Very busy! Deep fried spring rolls are the best! The shrimp paste on sugar cane was awesome! A nice contrast of savoury from the shrimp and sweet from the sugar cane. The bun was okay. I wasn't really fan of the vietnamese sausage. It was a bit dry. I've had better. I also didn't like the noodles they used for it. The pho booth was good. Not too salty. The beef was very tender. The soup sop smoothie was delicious! Prices are slightly higher than other places, but the portions are really big. The washroom was also clean, which is a bonus for an Asian place! Overall, I would definitely come back here!!! read more

Came here after a movie because this was one of the few places that's quick and still open nearby. At 9:30pm, pho metro was still decently busy. The menu was extensive and we ended up choosing the special pho and house special vermicelli. House Special Vermicelli- grilled beef, grilled pork, shrimp paste on sugar cane and comes with one of their ever so popular fried spring roll. The grilled meats sliced thin and well seasoned. The spring roll was crispy and the shrimp paste sugar cane still had lots of juice to chew on. Recommend coming hungry for this or bringing someone to share. The portion is huge! House special pho- rare beef, beef balls, tripe, flank. The broth was fragrant and didn't leave me incredibly thirsty like most pho joints which tells me that little/no MSG is probably used. The beef was oh so tender. I think this is one of the best pho places in Scarborough in terms of value. The quality of the ingredients were all very good. Will definitely come back for more. read more

Located at the corner Warden/Lawrence, I dropped by for pho on a week day for lunch with my boyfriend. We both ordered a small pho special and it came quickly. The broth was delicious and comforting and there was a vast variety of beef parts. Small is a good size for lunch and the portion was just right. After eating, I was not thirsty due to the little MSG they use. Overall, the location is a bit out of the way for me but would definitely come back for pho if I'm around the area. read more

I've tried many pho restaurants before-- I ordered a small pho however the soup base was disappointing with little flavours to none. The bean sprouts and basil provided with the soup was bare. If you're coming here for other dishes their portions are bigger than other pho restaurants. Overall, you can find a better pho place than this location read more

I am giving this place a 1 star rating because in my experience when my friend took me here for the first time, the waiter not only didn't understand what I was saying when I was talking to in english, he just shrugged his shoulders at me! I mean that's ridiculous!!! at least call someone who can understand english instead of shrugging his shoulders at me!!! even though there's probably one person that can understand english I could barely understand her!!! and after all that she didn't even get my order right!!! So I had to ask her to substitute me chicken for bean curd and give me a fried egg!!! What kind of Customer Service is that!!! So it's useless to even ask them for anything!!! You're better off knowing Vietnamese or going to Bahn Mi Metro next door!!! because they might have the same people who don't understand english but at least you're getting something simple like sandwiches!!! If you don't understand vietnamese I would not recommend this place at all and save yourself the trouble and go next door to Bahn Mi Metro! (seriously) read more

It's a really good uptown pho spot, almost as good as Kim po at steels and Kennedy. Need to use less msg, but other then that really good pho. Broth is more clear then dark, noodles are nice. Server is super nice and will get any thin you ask for with out attidude (chilli oil) Will be coming back here for sure. After I got my table there was a bit of a line so it does get busy read more

I wanted to try this place after reading so many positive reviews. Ok so here's my take on their Banh mi. I opted for the traditional cold cuts and pate Banh mi. The size and texture of the baguette was more like a sub than a baguette. It was soft on the outside, dense and chewy inside. Filling, while generous, lacked taste. Pate was 'gritty' not smooth. I asked for spicy and tasted only a hint of heat. I ended up only eating about two thirds of it because of all the 'bread'. All in all i was disappointed. I've had better Banh mi elsewhere. read more

This place has risen to the top of my list of best pho places to go in the tdot. This family run joint keeps the place clean, food is always fresh, especially bean sprout, basil, etc, and consistent, soup base is amazing...plus they are super friendly...but most importantly their pho is amazing! I HIGHLY recommend H4 on the menu...BUN BO HUE!!!!..to die for!..I pretty much order the same thing ever since the first time I tried it at this place....which makes this review kinda useless...but I'll just keep on ranting on how good it is!!..it use to be a lot spicier in the past which I prefer more..probably bc they're trying to cater to those ppl that can't handle the spicyness..but that doesn't stop me from ordering it!...its just THAT good!..also, they stopped putting blood jelly for the same reason, but if you're into that kinda stuff like I am, ask them for it and they'll be more than happy to give u that as a side for u to dump into that big bowl of deliciousness... Deep fried spring rolls are pretty solid as well! Finally tried their avocado shakes that everyone was talking about, it was pretty good as well! Going back to Boston in few days. I'm glad that I satisfied my craving for that Bun Bo Hue goodness. Hopefully that taste will last me until the next I come back! Pho Metro and BUN BO HUE for the WIN! read more

Pho Metro - Bun bo hue...the best - Vietnamese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

So I like Pho. I like pho that is made by the Vietnamese. Pho Metro is one of only a few in the Scarborough area that I would say is truly Viet. The broth is tasty and can definitely tell they didn't overdo it with the spices. Meat and food portion was fair. It didn't take long for them to get the order out and served. The restaurant itself is not too big and is constantly busy due to its popularity. Also what was order was Bun Rieu. Crab paste soup. It wasn't as good as how I usually would have it. Soup was a little salty. Good thing about it is they give you a lot of the pork balls and meat. I want to see more crab/shrimp paste in it. Pricing overall is fair. Location is not bad except it is a bit ghetto around there. I hope they push franchising as I would like to see them grow. read more

Probably the best viet restaurant I have been to in Toronto. You can taste that the place is actually run by viet owners. There is a difference in flavour between this place and your typical viet place in TO. Friendly staff, clean, and legit. read more

Amazing pho, amazing rolls, amazing everything. I love coming to Pho Metro. You get an amazing meal that tastes delicious for a cheap price. You can't go wrong with anything. My friend and I got an extra large pho to share for around $10, and 2 sets of rolls which are $5 each (which comes in 2s). We were so full at the end of just the pho itself. I do get that most of it is noodles and soup and not so much beef but for $5 per person you can't go wrong with something so delicious. The fresh rolls are probably my favourite. We got the beef rolls. The beef inside is so flavourful and with the addition of their peanut sauce it has the perfect amount of sweet and savoury. The deep fried spring rolls were good but probably not worth $2.5 per spring roll but try it if you get it with the vermicelli! read more

The portions are amazing here! Usually I get hungry fast after going to a pho restaurant but I was full all day! We both got the "house special" (1 Rice and 1 Vermicelli) and we couldn't finish the meat. They also have a "fast food" counter at the front where you can get banh mi or Vietnamese desserts. The tip is included in the bill, which I didn't mind. Not the most modern restaurant but that's standard for your local pho spot. read more

Second visit at the OG Pho Metro. Recently expanded and now has a banh mi counter and the viet buns are top notch. Crispy exterior with soft and fluffy insides for the buns, fresh tasting cold cuts. Yums. Also tried their deep fried spring rolls and was told by my boyfriend they're usually lighter and more uniform in color. Our batch today had some burnt patches possibly due to reusing old oil, so it's probably better to come when it's not during the busy Sunday lunch rush. Other dishes we tried include grilled chicken soup noodle, beef and pork dry vermicelli, tomato soup noodle, and pad thai. Soup was clear and tasty for the noodle soup. Tomato based soup was a tad oily. Pad Thai was OK, nothing to write home about. tl;dr stick with the banh mi's and the beef broth noodles. read more

This place is just AWESOME. My (and my family's) #1 go-to place for vietnamese food! The broth is not too greasy and not too salty, and the rare beef is tender and goes perfect with the noodles and their yummy broth. If you are used to oily broth with lots of fat in the meat, you may not like this place (this is not a place for greasy chinese food). Their vermicelli dishes and fresh spring rolls are really great too. I didn't find their pad thai that great, but then again this is a vietnamese place, not thai. Price is right and the portion is good enough, so I highly recommend this place if you are into some real pho. Service may not be all that friendly but it is definitely quick. I have never had any problem or complaints with their services! This place can get VERY busy, so try to avoid the prime time. read more

I am Vietnamese and my mom makes homemade pho, so I'm very picky in terms of what I consider good, quality pho! Pho Metro is run by Vietnamese people so you know it's as authentic as it gets. This place just hits the spot. Started with their Vietnamese spring rolls and they were sizzling hot when brought to our table. At the risk of burning our tongues we fought our urges to dive right into them. They were skinnier spring rolls than what you'd typically see. After cooling down, we bit into their crispy wraps and savoury pork/shrimp fillings. These are definitely a must order! Full of flavour. We should've got the large order. I ordered the pho Dac Biet, which is the special pho. The broth was not very oily and a good clear/light brown but so flavourful. The rare beef actually came out pink, which I love! I personally am quite displeased when I order rare beef and it's already cooked to medium in the broth. Very good mix and portion of different meats. Lots of rare beef slices, which most pho stores like to cheap out on because it's more expensive than flank or tripe. The amount of noodle and it's size/texture was just right. So all very delicious and almost* as good as homemade!!! Also got an order of jack fruit shake to go. Normally I can't finish it while sitting, so that's why I ask for it in a to go cup. Nope, I devoured it all in one sitting. Blended right on the spot. Very clean and chic decor. There were a few other tables at the time we went, but we went to grab lunch at 3pm so it was an odd time. Server acknowledged a couple patrons; seems as though they have a lot of regulars. Had high chairs, small scissors for cutting food for kids - very family friendly. Another thing I like to note is how thirsty I get after eating pho, usually as a measure of how much MSG they use. Safe to say I didn't feel the need to gulp down a bottle of water after leaving the restaurant. Left with just the lingering thoughts of how yummy my meal was! Wish I lived closer, I would definitely be a regular. read more

Pho Metro is a small chain of Vietnamese restaurants that is Vietnamese run and owned. The Lawrence and Warden Ave location in Scarborough is the original location. I have been going on and off to this location for quite a few years and I can honestly say that's it's pretty difficult to find good authentic Vietnamese in the east end of the city. Many but not all of the Vietnamese restaurants in the east end are usually Chinese owned and run and the pho is usually MSG heavy and they don't offer a lot of variety in terms of dishes on the menu. Pho Metro is one of the exceptions. Over the years, I have tried many of the dishes at Pho Metro and they were all quite good but I'll focus on my normal order which is a medium Pho Dac Biet ($8.45 plus tax) which is essentially the pho special that comes with raw beef, tripe, tendon and beef balls. The noodles are cooked perfectly and the broth is excellent with minimal msg. Nice strips of raw beef. The tripe, tendon and beef balls were standard. If you are looking for a good authentic Vietnamese restaurant in the east end, I would definitely recommend Pho Metro. It's probably one of the best in the east end, if not the best.The service is standard for a Vietnamese restaurant and the restaurant is quite clean. The prices aren't cheap and a little on the high end for Scarborough but the quality is there. read more

I hate to say it here but we had a awful experience here.. wasn't the restaurants fault but someone literally dropped dead while we were waiting for our food. Think he had a heart attack and it was a shocking experience to say the least.. sadly we couldn't wait to get our food as it was a huge scene with paramedics and firefighters everywhere. Very sad and turned our whole day upside down after stopping by here for some pho.. read more

Surprisingly the food here is quite decent. House Special Beef Noodles ($7.95 for a small) Comes with rare beef, beef brisket, beef balls, and beef tripe - all pieces of the beef which I like. Normally places come with beef tendons which I don't like so glad it wasn't included. There was actually quite a lot of meat pieces, and a lot of noodles as well. The rice noodles were super thin, soft and slightly chewy which was really good. The meets were soft, beef brisket didn't have much fat with it either. The beef balls were nice and bouncy. The soup base was good, I thought it tasted slightly bland though. One thing I noticed was there seems to be little MSG as I didn't feel super thirsty after finishing it. House Special Vermicelli ($11.25) This dish was really big! Grilled beef, grilled pork, shrimp paste on a stick, Vietnamese spring rolls, with vermicelli and veggies on the side The dish comes with fish sauce which you pour to mix with your vermicelli to add flavor and bring down the grease from the grilled meat. There was a decent amount of meat and veggies, I actually wouldn't minded more vermicelli. The vermicelli was thin and soft. The grilled pork tasted better than the beef. The spring rolls were thinner than usual, nice and crispy. read more
