This place is good value…read more  Phnom Penh noodles with dry egg noodles came with pork liver, pork slices, crabstick, onion, 4 prawns & minced pork & were tossed in onion oil, with fried garlic at the bottom. The sauce was good but more would be better. Some liver slices were a bit tough. The toppings were generous. The soup seemed to be pho soup. It was quite rich with a big piece of bone-in pork. Pho (northern style) with ginger (small) was relatively light & somewhat herbal/gingery. It was pretty tasty but the beef clumped oddly. The teapot is pretty & their pandan tea is very fragrant.

The restaurant is clean, modern, and has comfortable seating, a nice first impression…read more I ordered the Beef Stew Rice Pho Specialty Noodle, the Grilled Pork & Spring Roll Vermicelli, and a Plain Pho for the kids. Beef Stew Rice Pho: The broth was rich, flavourful, and perfect for slurping with the pho noodles. However, the beef brisket itself was a bit disappointing tougher and more overcooked than I'd hoped. Grilled Pork & Spring Roll Vermicelli: A classic combo you'll find at many Vietnamese spots, but still satisfying. The spring roll had that perfect ASMR‑worthy crispy skin, and the grilled pork paired beautifully with the noodles and fish sauce. It hit all the right notes for me. Plain Pho: My kids love pho, so we added this to round out the meal. The broth surprised me, it had a different flavour profile compared to typical pho places, and in a good way. Simple but tasty. Overall, we enjoyed our meal. The flavours were solid, the space was pleasant, and everything tasted fresh. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the experience was still positive. --- If you want, I can also create a short, punchy social‑media version, or a more humorous take depending on where you plan to post it.

We got a table for 6 people and they were attentive even though our party slowly trekked in. I was impressed by the offerings on the menu. I shared a bo khot with my husband and it was super tasty. We also got the banh xeo which was large and crispy. My cousin got the banh cuon so I got to try that as well. The noodles seems soft and fresh but a bit imbalanced with the protein offered. Overall, I think it's a solid spot!

Went for lunch today as a group of 5 adults & 4 toddlers…read more Just due to timing, initially we only got seated at one table before the table next to us freed up to be combined, which worked out since a couple of the kids were napping in the car. Only cold tea was brought out first for the adults, so we did need to ask for water and cups for the kids. After ordering, dishes came out very staggered apart. First the pho dishes, then some appetizers, main dish, another main dish, and then much later, the remaining main dishes, and last appetizer. Unluckily, mine was brought out last so I kind of lost my appetite by then and I'm a slow eater as well so only had a few bites by the time everyone else in group had already finished eating. Since it was a holiday, it was pretty busy and they only had 3 servers taking orders and expediting food, so understandably service was on the slower side. Overall, food was comparable to other similar restaurants of this type of cuisine.

Large original Laksa was truly huge (the menu calls the beef version the authentic Malaysia version but it's the other way round). It used pho noodles not round rice noodles. The soup was pretty rich & decently umami with dried shrimp flavour. Fried tofu puffs were decent, fish cake & fish balls were tasty & springy. It was garnished with cilantro but no Laksa leaf (Vietnamese mint) as well as some crunchy bean sprouts (not in description). Fried wantons were fresh & crispy. The interior was bouncy & was a bit bland on its own but was highly elevated by the fish sauce. The pickles were fresh, moist, crisp & tasty & finely cut for a good mouth feel. The fish sauce dipping sauce was excellent.  Hu Tieu Nam Vang dry noodles were pretty tasty. The noodles just had beansprouts, peanuts & lettuce & were tossed in slightly sweet, soy based sauce. The soup was tasty with a lot of garlic chives & green onion. Fishballs were springy & there were pork slices, shrimp, minced pork & lettuce. The squid was tough.  Crab noodles had sweet & seafoody soup. It had crab balls, tofu puffs & springy Vietnamese spam, which were all tasty. Blood tofu was decent. Soft shell crab was good: not oily, crispy & not too wet inside.

It was very meaty & juicy, and shell was thinly & crisply fried.... as biting in, the juice splashed out. Soaked in the soup to mix the juice into the broth - heaven! The soup was well rounded, full of Crab flavor. The salt/sweet/sour/spice balance was on point. Essential ingredients like Crab meat ball, black pepper sausage, and blood pudding were all fresh. Satisfying, highly recommend! My hubby got combo set (Pho Tai, Nam & Goi Cuon Tom/fresh spring rolls) for $19. As usual, he asked his rare beef on the side so he can "cook" in the soup for his preferred done-ness. The arrived rare beef looked very fresh. Soup had a hint of natural sweetness from vegetable, and had depth. Very good!!!! I liked shredded mango in the fresh spring rolls :) Will have to come back!!!!

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 squid patty was really good, I liked the crunchy texture from the squid. The pork was very flavourful. The fish cake was just ok. The pho was very clean tasting..you don't have that overly thirsty feeling you get when eating anything with too much MSG. The spring rolls were slightly on the greasy side. It was also darker than usual so not sure if it's bc the oil is on the old side. Otherwise we enjoyed our meal and I would return..

The restaurant itself is beautiful, and service was quick and efficient throughout the meal. One thing I liked is that the pho only comes in one size, which is basically equivalent to a large bowl at most other spots. The broth was so good that I barely needed to add anything besides bean sprouts, basil, and a squeeze of lime. It was light, clean, and incredibly comforting. There was a generous amount of meat, especially beef tendon, and the portion overall was huge. It's rare for me to struggle to finish a bowl of pho, but this one had me tapping out near the end. Definitely understand why this spot is such a Scarborough favorite.

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!

Noodles came out piping hot, perfectly chewy and with a generous amount of huge pieces of chicken. The pad see mao was so fragrant with the basil leaf. Both had thick crunchy vegetables to contrast the chewy noodle. The beef was nice and tender. Who doesnt love a good crispy chicken skin?! For $6, we got a huge portion of chicken skin, we almost couldnt believe it. Thought they brought out the next size up by mistake. It came with a pickled cucumber vinegary sauce that was delicious when used to soak the white rice that came with the pad gra prow (which was super spicy thanks to the heavy use of Thai chill). The chicken nuggets were okay, wish they were less dense. The pineapple fried rice had notes of curry, lots of cashew and the juiciest chunks of pineapple. Great service despite the server spilling fish sauce on my arms and pants. But overall would visit again.
