This place has been around for quite a few years now and overall is a pretty reliable mid-level Viet restaurant. Food (4/5) - good selection of over 30 main dishes to choose from. Many of the typical items you would see on a Viet menu. - Rice Noodle Beef Pho - good portion size and good broth. Not a lot of beef and that's somewhat representative of what many places are doing with shrinkflation changes. - Shrimp and Pork Spring Roll - was good... crispy and nice flavours. Service (3/5) - we weren't delayed in getting our orders, but the server was pretty direct, abrupt overall. Straight order taking and if ask questions, not much elaboration just short answers. Atmosphere (3.5/5) - not much too it... has about 15 tables and booths and basic decor. Was clean overall. Overall (3.75/5) - not a bad choice if in the area and looking for a quick sit-down reasonably priced meal. read more

If you're craving the savoury flavours of Vietnamese cuisine, Pho Phuong has you covered. Located on Dundas Street West, Pho Phuong has an extensive menu of over 150 dishes, which may seem overwhelming, but rest assured, there's something for every palate. If you're not convinced, place an order for Goi Cuon, fresh rolls stuffed with vermicelli and crunchy vegetables that are dunked in peanut sauce. A giant bowl of bun cha gio, which comes with vermicelli, grilled chicken and crispy spring rolls is also a crowd pleaser. Pho Phuong's generous portions, delicious flavours and extremely reasonable prices are some of the many reasons why this is a neighbourhood takeout staple. All takeout dishes in the order arrived piping hot and there were plenty of leftovers too! This is a good option for a quick and relatively healthy takeout dinner. read more

*Delivery review* My partner and I both ordered the mixed veggies soup (i.e., Pho Rau Cai), mine with veggie broth and his with beef broth. We also got an order of cold veggie rolls. Everything was tasty and all the components (broth, veggies, bean sprouts, basil sprig) were packaged separately to prevent overcooking during delivery and so you can get your ratios just how you want them. My only criticisms were 1) there wants enough hoisin sauce included, and 2) the cold rolls were kind of dry and tasteless. So if you order delivery from here just stick with the pho and either get extra sauce (or make sure you have some in the fridge). read more

This may not be my favourite Vietnamese restaurant in Toronto, but I must give credit where credit is due. If I am feeling under the weather there is nothing I want more than their pho ga. Smooth chicken broth, with a hint of ginger and all of the love. They're on Uber Eats, too, so health can come to you without you washing your face or changing out of your snugglies. read more

I don't know why I ended up at Pho Phuong!!! Yes my Yelp app did send me here... having Vietnamese was the last thing on my mind when I venture into this part of town... But Tuesdays seems to be one of those days that a lot of places in the area day of rest. I was thinking I going to hit Yours Truly... but no it is not open.. How about Brockton General? no! Next... then I walked further west.. on Dundas.. on this cold winter evening...until I saw Pho Phuong. On a cold day, a Pho is always good... and affordable? The Pho is OK here... but I was hungry and cold...... Service is as cold... but I got my food, I got my bill... and they seated me at a table with the full view of CP24.... my chopsticks are not sticky.... I said Thank You when they served me my food and gave me the bill and the staffs nodded their heads... at least they did not ignore me. read more

This has become my go to for Vietnamese cuisine as I find the food here to be great. I had the vermicelli with grilled pork/chicken, spring roll and shrimp on sugar cane along with the red, white & mung bean with coconut milk on shaved ice. The portions were decent (like other restaurants there is a fair bit of filler vegetables) and the taste was great. The spring roll was crispy, the grilled pork/chicken was pretty juicy and my favourite is the shrimp on sugar cane yum. The fish sauce here is very flavourful unlike some places I've been which tasted like water. The drink I had was pretty good. I've definitely had better elsewhere but it does the job. Service is pretty average here. They take your order, bring your food and take your money. Really nothing to write home about. If you're in the area and had a craving for Vietnamese cuisine this place to me is the best option. read more

I have been frequenters here since we few years back. Usually the service is really good, fast and friendly. Food is decently priced. But over thr year maybe after the pandemic they've gone down in terms of service and the quality of the food They need to work on improving their food and their service. They served us the wrong order and took over 45 minutes to serve. Everyone seemed confused and the food was underwhelming at best. They serve diner quality food for high end prices.Service wasn't friendly, food lacked flavour. Overpriced for the lacklustre food and experience. Wouldn't recommend when there are so many other interesting better food quality and cheaper options in the neighbourhood. read more

Three years ago the veggie Pad thai I got there was great but it has been going downhill since then.Last year I got a Pad thai and it seemd to be a differnt cook.Totally raw brocoli and carrots adorned the dish and the tofu was chewy and the noodles had an after tase of ketchupYesterday I got a Veggie Banh Mi sandwich for 11$.The bread was not crispy because they did not crisp it and it tasted stale...a prerequisite for these sandwiches and the filling was super dry and bland.The attractive interior of the restaurant tricks people to go on...stay away.The cooks are lazy and hurry the food out to unsuspecting patrons and the staff is dismissive and rude.I am sure the kitchen is a horror story as the food is!I won't be going back. read more

I'm not a big Pho person, but I love the vermicelli noodle bowls here! I honestly can't find a better place for them here in Edmonton. The Pad Thai is really good too. Their the complementary jasmine tea is very nice and they keep it coming your whole meal! Prices are really great too, most are under $10, and really generous portions. Great service and great food! I Love coming here when I'm in Toronto. read more

Pho Phuong Vietnamese Restaurant - Jasmine tea, bottomless! - Vietnamese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I've walked by this place so many times over the past few years and yet I've only just now stopped in for a meal. It's tasty stuff, so I'm not sure why I waited so long. Pho Phuong's menu boasts an intimidating amount of choices, but for our appetizer we opted for the Bo Bia (fresh cold rice paper rolls with Vietnamese sausage, jicama, dried shrimp, and fried egg). I've had a lot of similar rolls in my life but this was definitely one of the most stuffed I've ever sampled. The whole thing was definitely above average, although I'll be honest and admit the sausage didn't do much for me (and even seemed out of place). The dipping sauce was top-notch, too. For my main, I opted for the Bun 4 Mau (House special vermicelli with beef roll wrapped with tropical leaves, BBQ beef roll, spicy satay beef roll, and shrimp wrapped on sugar cane). This was definitely one of the better variations on Bun I've had as of late, and the various meats included were all quite tasty. I especially dug the beef roll wrapped with tropical leaves, as it was certainly different from anything I've eaten before. My one complaint with this dish was that the portion was pretty small. It seemed like I had finished eating just as my dining companion was getting started on her dish. read more

Pretty decent Pho place. The atmosphere is much better than your regular Toronto Pho joint, which, let's be honest, are usually greasy spoons with dirty floors and worn out furniture. Not here, though. New shiny furniture (western style) and very clean, sparkling floors. The selections is what you'd expect. I usually only eat Pho in Pho joints (plenty of other options for other food in non-Pho places), and so I ordered a large beef Pho bowl with brisket, tripe and tendon, which is my favorite of all Pho combinations. Food arrived very quickly and was a large portion. Plenty of meat inside, unlike what some whiners with one-star reviews claim. Whiners whine about pricing, but it is only $1-$2 more than the regular greasy spoon Pho joints. What is $2 in Toronto? You toss that much to a panhandler, and here you pay that to eat in a clean, air-conditioned environment. Pho broth was a bit on the sweet side, while I prefer more savory ones, but it was fine, nothing to write home about, but nothing to bitch about either. Beef broth, of course. Why would one order vegetarian broth in a Vietnamese restaurant (no vegetarians in Vietnam) is beyond me. read more

Pho Phuong used to be an upstanding pho restaurant! Now they are super cheap. They are trying to cut corners and it is very obvious. The food quality is no longer desirable. I would not recommend at all. I did not even finish my pho. Very disappointing! FYI, this is my first review ever and it's because I'm so disappointed! read more

For the past 3 months, we've ordered from Pho Phuong at least once a week through DoorDash. The food is consistently fresh and portions large enough for a second meal of leftovers. For those looking to venture beyond Pho and spring rolls, our favourites are: Appetizers: Bo Nuong (beef ribs) Mains: Bun Dac Biet (special dry rice noodles w grilled beef, spring rolls, grilled minced shrimp), Banh Cuon (steamed rice rolls), and Bo Kho (beef brisket stew w flat, wide rice noodles) Pho is always good too. I make my own pho and still order from here because I appreciate the depth of their broth. read more

This place was great years ago but their cost cutting techniques are making the food suffer. I ordered #102 broken rice, grilled chicken pork chop and sunny side egg. My plate came out with the egg still raw, on top of the chicken and pork chop. Fine, mistakes happen but the place was mostly empty... and all you had to do was look at the egg to tell that it was raw. We also got the shrimp and avocado roll which came with two pieces of shrimp only. One on each end, so the majority of the bites were vermicelli and lettuce. When we asked why there was so little shrimp, our server said that normally, they add more shrimp but bc we got avocado, they only put two pieces of shrimp. Keep in mind, we paid extra for avocado which ended up being one thin slice in each roll. Conclusion: go to Pho Linh on College, Tien Tehn or Golden Turtle on Ossington instead. Way better value and great food. read more

We had the chicken and rare beef pho, pad Thai, spring rolls and coffee milkshakes and everything was absolutely amazing. The pad Thai, although it did specify "spicy" on the menu, really kicked my butt but it was full of flavour. sad that it didn't come with more veggies though. Service was quick and the milkshakes were very smooth and tasty. Will be returning. read more

First time here and won't be going back; we only came here because Pho Linh (our go-to) on College street had a lineup. We ordered a rice dish and a bowl of pho. The rice dish was delicious but considering how expensive it was it is a very small portion. The pho broth was bland and they cheaped out on the bean sprouts and basil for the pho. I usually have a rule when it comes to dining in any Asian restaurant; if the patrons are majority non-Asians I don't eat there. I have nothing against non-Asians but when the majority of your customers are not Asian it usually means the restaurant is cutting corners somewhere in terms of quality; unfortunately Pho Phuong couldn't prove me wrong. I've read some other comments regarding this restaurant and it seems others have had the same experience. read more

We were excited to have pho on New Years day, and as you have it: the neighbourhood favourite, Pho Lihn was closed for the holidays. So we found ourselves in this big spacious Pho Phuong. The service was lack luster, slow, and inattentive. When asked for red pepper, we had to ask twice, and why did we have to ask anyway? Most other places bring it with the beansprout and basil. They only gave us one, and since we were a group of five, we had to share a tiny single pepper. They continue to show their stinginess: The few pieces of pork that I had on my vermicelli, were over fried till it is covered in black burn mark. Yes, the exact black mark that I was taught to stay away from growing up. My vermicille tasted okay, nothing to write home about, and the pho was reportedly passable. But did I mention it was more expensive than the (way tastier) pho nearby (Pho Lihn, Turtle, etc)? It was not the first meal I'd wish to eat for the start of a new year, but it can only get better, right? read more

Excellent pho - rich and flavorful broth, the bun (vermiclli) was really well done. I've been in practically every Pho restaurant in Toronto and would say this is in the top 3 if not the best. Much better than Golden Turtle that is often raved about and not too far from this resto. The decor are fairly upscale as well and the washrooms are clean and modern so that's a bonus. read more

Food is pretty tasty and service is quick I would NOT recommend going if you're vegetarian. Vegetarian spring rolls come with side containing fish sauce to dip into. Like, what? Okay. Whatever. BUT on 3 separate times where I asked for vegetable broth instead of traditional broth I found tiny chunks of meat. Not so cool. Today I found a fly in said "veggie" broth. Still good though so I will be back. With non-veg pals of course. read more

Let me not mince words: Pho Phuong is fantastic. Food is fresh and yummy. Service is quick. Space is open and clean. Ok, it IS a little off the beaten path, but it is always a must go for me when a trip to Dufferin Mall is planned. I have been going back for years, even after having moved out of the neighbourhood over 6 years ago and living much much closer to all the other pho places lining Spadina. As with most Vietnamese places, the menu is extensive with a lot of choices and variations. But I have settled on two dishes I haven't wavered from in years: the shrimp and pork salad rolls (approx. $5) and the bbq pork vermicelli (approx. $7). I've been to many Vietnamese places in the city, but I don't think I have had a better salad roll anywhere else. The bbq pork is seasoned just right and is not in chop form... in other words, no need for a knife and cutting around the bone! Whenever anyone asks me to recommend a pho place, Pho Phuong and Mimi (Gerard St.) are the two I always mention. The epitome of cheap and cheerful! But also very delicious. read more

First, let me say that I would rate Pho Phuong a "just there" 4. There's a lot it does well, but nothing truly exceptional. Nothing blows me away, but I've never once been disappointed. It's an excellent go-to pho joint, and since it's close to our home we go there a lot. My favourite dish is the simple chicken pho, which comes with very nicely pre-roasted chicken (rather than the boiled stuff you find at most pho joints). This adds a depth of flavour that really lifts this staple up. Definitely a **** rating for what would almost always be a *** or less at other, lesser, restaurants. We're always brought generous amounts of fresh basil, sprouts, and citrus (usually lime, though on a couple occasions it's been lemon... probably due to lime suckage at the time). Whenever I've ventured away from their many phos, I've been happy but not thrilled. Their dishes tend to be pretty run of the mill, albeit done very well. I don't think you can go wrong, but you won't necessarily have your socks knocked off by anything on the menu. Again, however, since this is just a straightforward pho joint, that isn't a bad thing. Outside of the food, the decor is very nice (if a bit pre-fab, what with the fake orchids and other fake greenery), and I could definitely do without the televisions constantly playing the news. Service is pleasant albeit a tad slow from time to time. All in all, quite happy with Pho Phuong. It's not Hamilton's B&T, but I've yet to find a place that comes close to rivaling that mecca of Viet/Thai food in Toronto, let alone the rest of Ontario! read more

I wish zero stars was an option. This place was brutal. We never got asked if we wanted drinks, which we never ended up getting. The servers didn't even give us a chance to ask about certain items on the menu. They just walked by and grabbed our ticket and took off. They brought out 3 plates and waited 10 mins to bring out our fourth (we were a table of four). They messed up my order and whatever it was that they gave me had zero taste and had the worst cuts of meat in it that I've ever seen. When we were done eating they didn't clear our plates and waited 30 mins for our bill before my father said fuck it and had to go up to the counter to pay. I'm blown away that people have given this place decent reviews. A nice outer store front does not make for a good restaurant. Don't waste your time or your money. I could have gotten better food and service at the hockey rink down the road. read more

I've seen mixed reviews for Pho Phuong, many about the service. When I go for Pho, I'm usually prepared for service ranging from over enthusiastic to just sheer apathy so I try not to get too bothered about such things. In any case, I was more laser focused on judging the quality of their food. In short, even though this is a bit far from my pad, I will make the drive as this is my new go to place. For starters my friend and I shared some fresh rolls with shrimp as well as the fresh rolls with grilled pork. Then I had the vermicelli with a mix of different beef rolls. The one roll in particular that really sealed the deal for me was the beef wrapped in a green leaf - it was totally succulent and tasty! In fact I'm getting hungry just thinking about it right now.... Give this place a try. You won't regret it and if you do, I will buy your next Pho :) read more

*4 star for food* *2 star for service* I was in the area to see a show at Lula Lounge and checked restaurants (on Yelp yeah!) around the venue. Surprisingly, a lot of restaurants that popped up were Vietnamese and I still had a Pho craving that was not satisfied (obviously) from Spring Rolls. This resto is so close by (15 second walk) from Lula Lounge that it was a no brainer. The exterior looked clean and I could see that the interior was modern and spacious. The menu is very extensive!!!!!!!!!! and I could tell this place was authentic. How? All the Vietnamese patrons that were dining there:D My bf and I decided upon two small Pho's, a Mango Salad with Chicken and my fave, Cold Spring rolls with Chicken. All I can say is YUMMMMMMMMMMMM! The rolls were so fresh that they were still warm. I could have ordered 4 more plates of those (each plate has two rolls). Then the Mango Salad was so refreshing and the hint of Mint just rounded the dish. They sure know how to pair taste combinations. Now, I don't know my Pho's, but the ones here were great in my mind. I had the Beef Ball and I slurped mine in no time. Total damage for two people? $34. I just wish that this restaurant was located closer to me I have never been near the Dufferin and Dundas Street West area (very sketch IMHO) so it was great to see an eclectic group of resto's popping up. Just down, down, the corner I saw Hogtown Café so really, lots of different cuisines to try. Service was very indifferent. I wish it was better because the food was just so amazing. We had to ask for everything. No plates were given. No cutlery. Everything came out all at once. We had to give our order (piece of paper and you mark your items down) up front at the register. The only good thing? They bring your yummy food so quickly. If I am ever in the area, I am so coming back here! read more

I'd never had Vietnamese food before, but the party I was with swore by this place, so we stopped in. I didn't bring my camera, (shame on me), but the food would have been fantastic to photograph. It's been at least a month since I was here, so bare with my strained review. We stopped in on either a Friday or Saturday, and everywhere else was packed, except this place. This of course had me slightly worried, until I realized every other place we passed was a pub. I dined with a party of seven, myself included, and so there was plenty of food sampling and trading going on, but through most of the meal people were silent. (Always a good sign!) The prices were reasonable, they had several vegetarian selections, and the staff was more than willing to be accommodating on several items swaps and replacements. Oh, and the bubble tea was quite nice. All in all, I'd say this place was pretty good. It didn't blow me out of the water or anything, but it's definitely worth a try if you like Vietnamese. read more

The veggie pho is very bland - you need to add a lot of sauce - they must use water instead of a Veggie Broth. Spring Rolls are pretty good. Atmosphere is nice - pretty docor and large space. Service is mediochre. I would recommend going to Pho Nho which is just up the street, instead. read more

Pho Phuong is my "go to" place when a craving hits and I've ventured outside of Chinatown. It's a little bit more expensive relative to the my spots in north Toronto but I don't mind paying a bit more for clean, stick-free and stink-free tables. Their pho soup is pretty consistent and very flavourful. All-in-all love this place! read more

One of the best Vietnamese places I`ve tried in Toronto. Very fresh and very filling. I love Vietnamese coffee and this serves one of the best. read more

If you want to go for Pho, but you're craving something classier than dingy Spadina, then Pho Phuong will do it for you. It's far down on Dundas, a couple blocks past Dufferin, and it offers something....nicer than the typical Pho joint. Despite its location, Pho Phuong is actually gorgeous inside -- they have a really clean, modern decor and cute cutlery and dishes. Sleek white benches line the side of the restaurant, with tables that accomodate large groups and couples alike. As for the food...it's decent. It's definitely not the best Pho in the city (Pho Tien Thanh! Ossington!) but they make a decent broth. It's a little too sweet for me, especially in their vegetarian broth, but it's still Pho and I love Pho so I can't really complain. Service is super slow so I'd recommend just going up to the cash when you're ready to pay, or else you'll be waiting for years. read more

FOOD I recommend ordering one of their broken rice dishes, if you don't already know what you want. Not all Vietnamese places serve broken rice, so this place holds a special spot for me! Broken rice is simply broken jasmine rice. Rather than be long grains of rice, they are half or 1/3 size of a regular grain. This makes for wonderful texture!! I can't get enough. My friend always orders the lemongrass chicken on rice ($8.50). While there isn't actually very much lemongrass flavour, the dish is aromatic and makes you want to eat bowls and bowls of rice! I really enjoy their Hainan chicken rice (full grain, not broken). It's a special, so I am not sure how long they will have it for. The rice is cooked with a green onion and ginger-infused oil, which makes the rice so tasty. The chicken is tender and flavourful. SERVICE Very friendly, in the best way possible. I really appreciate the service here. PRICES This place is a little pricier than other Vietnamese joints in the city. But for the quality of the food I am getting, I am willing to pay an extra $0.50 to $1.00 ATMOSPHERE It can get chilly in this restaurant! They crank up the A/C! So if you are one to get cold, bring something to cover up! The restaurant feels clean, which is always nice. read more

I go strictly for the pho and the spring rolls. Its delish and great location. read more

WE just moved into the neighbourhood from Chinatown, and I was excited to see that these guys have lots of authentic vietnamese dishes on their menu. We ordered from Just Eat and specified a delivery time of 8.30. This is where it started to go wrong - the food turned up at 8.10, so I had to leave my small kid who i was in the process of putting to sleep, to answer the door. Not a massive deal, but very annoying, and very indicative of the lack of attention to detail. So on that whole attention to detail thing. When you order online (via just eat), they let you specify that you want lemongrass and/or sate (spicy oil) with your soup. i asked for both. When it came, neither of those things were present. i also asked (in my comments on the order) for meat and noodles to be packed separately, and they werent. i also asked for extra herbs (mint, basil) and there was nothing but a tiny handful of basil. So here is the deal with this place: the food is fine, if you are not fussy. The broth is good, the noodles are not overcooked, they check all the basic boxes. But do not expect them to listen to you. They are a takeout machine, they do not care about individual customer preference. It's also not that cheap compared to other places that do a big bowl of pho for 7or 8 dollars, so weigh your options carefully. Next time I need pho delivered, I will buy from a place that pays attention to its customers and fulfils each order as requested. read more

After reading all the reviews here I thought this place would be a pretty safe bet. I was ultra-disappointed. Here are ways that Pho Phuong did not live up to my expectations of what a basic pho restaurant should provide. I ordered the pho with veg broth. It tasted like water. I wasn't brought basil or bean sprouts, I don't think they do that here. The tea was cold right out of the pot. The loud crappy music was bad enough but then the cd started skipping. I think at least five CDs skipped while I was there. They didn't have rooster hot sauce but instead some less flavorful substitute. The restaurant is big and clean-looking, unfortunately that doesn't make up for this bad experience. Next time i'll go back to Golden Turtle. (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/rua-vang-golden-turtle-toronto) read more

I've eaten at this somewhat stylish pho place a few times and can't really complain. The prices are a dollar or two more than the 'grungy' pho joints and the service is pretty much mediocre. I don't really expect much more. I usually order the spicy veg pad thai. Makes for a great lunch the next day...The bun dishes is also good and so is the bubble tea, hot Taro is my fav. It does close slightly early and had to find another pho place one night around 10 p.m. as the lights were already out when I drove by... read more

I've eaten here only once, on a terribly hungover day when I could not bear to walk any farther away from home. It was good. It's clean and slick looking, with dark tables and nice lighting, so that stands out as different from your average pho joint. The pho was good enough. I recall it as being on the high end of pho prices, so still pretty inexpensive. The service was definitely lacking - inattentive that may have moved right into neglectful, which is sort of amazing considering how little I require from pho service. I was there mid afternoon, so perhaps they were just doing other things. That doesn't excuse neglectful service, but it might explain it. read more

This place is just ok. Nice atmosphere, big open and bright. Spring rolls were delicious! Service was pretty awful. Not rude just very blase. Had to stand around the counter to order a drink, and had to get up again and go to the counter and ask for the bill (although, I'm not sure. Maybe you pay at the counter) Pho was ok. Nothing to rave about, but hit the spot. I've also had the lemongrass shrimp bun in the past and it was super tasty. read more

Pho Phuong has been on our regular list for a couple of years and in the last 6 months or so the food has been very up and down; at its best, it's excellent - one of my favorite vietnamese restaurants. At its worst it's mediocre. I'd love to give it 5 stars for the days that it's on for me but it's too inconsistent. I would describe the service as authentic - meaning it's up to you to get their attention at which point they are thorough, but don't expect them to actually wait on you. favorite dishes are the beef salad with mint, the beef rolls wrapped in "exotic leaf", the ribs braised in coconut juice, and the broken rice. Last word - beware the satay soup on the specials menu. The last time I ordered it, it was the hottest thing I've ever eaten - and I like hot food. We still go back, but a little less eagerly than we used to... read more

Great place for pho, the place is very well decorated. It'll make you feel right at home, anytime of the day. The place can be super busy and noisy at times, but the food totally makes up for that, gets you in the zone how good the food can be here. The restaurant has some great foods that are pretty exclusive such as banh xeo, and Tom muc Chien. If you're in the area it's a must try! read more

Food was really good and the restaurant itself is really clean and bright. Food came quickly, but servers seemed indifferent. When I went to pay, the staff continued a conversation with each other and didn't make eye contact with me.or even look in my direction. It was almost surreal. read more
