This place still delivers a great bowl of pho with a fair portion size. The medium bowl doesn't look big but it's full of meat, tripe and tendon. The broth is okay, but with the fresh herbs - the flavours are enhanced. Service is quick - and ambiance is old school Pho restaurant (not built for instagram). There are pho places that look prettier but the bowls are $25+. Pho should be an affordable meal that fills you up, and this place still delivers. read more

I am grateful that old school pho joints like this are still around. With the recent boom of fancy pho places with all the frills and not much more substance, I love coming back for a simple bowl of good noodle soup in an unpretentious setting. This place is particularly awesome because it exists in Durham region where there is such limited offering of good Vietnamese restaurants. The flavour of the pho broth is consistent with very generous portion size (the way it used to be) and the service is fast. We will happily revisit whenever we have a pho craving in the area! read more

Absolutely disgusting, food was sub par, I was seated with a friend at the window and had the pleasure of watching people vomit, shoot up and smoke crack right outside the window. The owner doesn't care and I'm calling the health department and reporting them. Stay as far as you can from this disgrace read more

Went to this Restaurant on November 22/25 for dinner with my wife, the service was bare minimum, duty like. We ordered rare beef and brisket to share, a giant bowl with the soup arrived with 2 small bowls. No obvious way to pour it into the 2 bowls and we never saw the waitress again....ever. My big complaint was the food, the broth was weak, the meat was mostly GRISSLE. The stuff you throw away! No follow up, no one cared. read more

This is our "go to" Vietnamese restaurant in Oshawa. A lot of tables so virtually no wait time, staff are friendly esp the owner, and service is quick. The food is very good but the best part is the reasonable price of the dishes. We like to order the combo plate that has everything-soup, salad, rice, spring roll and choice of grilled porkchop or chicken (21.99). The wonton soup is perfectly seasoned and the spring roll is crispy and flavourful. It's not a fancy restaurant, but it's clean and spacious and you get quality food for a reasonable price! read more

Lots of choice, good quality, fast service. You order yourself (tickets). But service after that is nice.

Every time I come here the service is always great and very fast. Authentic Vietnamese cuisine, down to the menu. Pho broth is very tasty and portion sizes are perfect. If you like pho, I would definitely recommend this place, definitely the best in Oshawa & Whitby. The only downside is not being able to pay with credit, they only take debit or cash. Either way this is my regular pho spot and it's delicious every time! read more

AWESOME traditional food! Old school. Family run. Hot Chili oils jars soo good. We shared a Large Pho - and they brought us 2 big empty side bowls and a huge ladle so we could scoop ourselves. In my entire lifetime, no other restaurant has this! Pho special, grilled chicken and marinated jumbo shrimp, shrimp ball, shrimp on sugar cane. read more

This is my go-to pho place in Durham Region. They have a vast menu of options but I always opt for the rare beef pho which never lets me down. Service is always very fast and portion sizes are generous. Ordering in restaurant tends to get you a larger portion size than takeout, in my experience. Keep in mind they only take cash and debit. read more

Food was really good and the portion is well worth the price. The service was fast and polite. Loved it.

Solid pho and vermicelli place. I personally like the pho with grilled chicken. And for the vermicelli, I like the grilled beef with spring rolls. Make sure to get a side of the fried spring rolls as well. I'd say they're well worth it. Good for takeout as well. We go back every once in a while. read more

Came to this place for lunch as I was craving pho in the durham region. I ordered the 333 beef rice noodle soup with Well done flank, soft tendons and tripe. 468, rice with grilled pork chop, grilled chicken and fried egg and 617 pad thai with shrimp, chicken, tofu and vegetables Which is beef rice noodle soup with Well done flank, soft tendons and tripe. Overall the meal was decent. Flavours were expectant of typical Vietnamese pho and pad thai. Soup was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall ok. Pad thai was too red in colour. Not sure why as pad thai usually is orangey. Nuts on top of pad thai were rancid in taste. Rice and porkchop was good. Meat was on the dry side. And pieces of meat were small compared to other restaurants in the GTA. Meat in the pho was also portioned in small amounts. I would like for the restaurant to provide a bit more meat for the price they charge. Overall order was fast. An ok pho experience. Dont think I'll be back. read more

First time I ever tried Pho and it was awesome! Low calorie, high nutritional value and it tastes great! The dining room itself is ok, nothing great. A little too bright, makes you feel like you are in a cafeteria. But that doesn't matter. The service and the food make the experience an enjoyable one. Looking forward to going back and trying other items on their menu. They deliver too! read more

Loves the friendly service and the many gluten free options they have. They do not use wheat flour at all, everything they bread is with potato flour. They are very covid safe. Must wear a mask to walk inside, they are only seating every other table and disinfecting tables as soon as customers leave. read more

I have dined in the restaurant and have had take out since they opened, even before their fire. This was one of my favourite restaurants. Had my business meetings even at their restaurant. Last night after a ling day of work, I ordered a smoothie of mango and lychee, spring rolls, and a pad thai. They use to have amazing spring rolls, equal to some yummy ones in GTA. These were skinny, with barely anything inside. The pad thai, I had asked for something different to add beef. The gentleman said an extra $3.00 which I had agreed. However was charged $3.50 for it. That pad thai was the worst I have EVER had. It even had a non edible skin from an onion and bad celery. The 3 shrimp were small and overcooked. Sparse of any ingredients except the noodles. The noodles were so bland and sat in like a water bath. No flavour. Granted I had asked for mild but I have always asked for mild whenever I ordered from here or anywhere else. I was completely disappointed. Completely sad that I lost my go to place. Lost my favourite place to have business lunches or take out for business. Sad read more

Pho and Vermicelli are some of my favourite dishes to order, so when I read about the great reviews that this place had, I figured, let's give it a shot. First time I went, I ordered a simple beef pho which was quite tasty. The broth was rich in flavour and the meat itself was tender. Added some hoisin sauce and chilli oil and it made it even better. Second time around, I got the beef, pork and spring roll vermicelli, and I enjoyed it just as much. Everything was seasoned well and tasted fresh. Spring rolls were a little disappointing as the ones I ordered had barely any filling in it, but other than that, the food was fantastic. Also, the Vietnamese Coffee from this place is something coffee lovers should try. read more

Firstly, the server was terribly rude from the moment we walked in. Ordered a pho with rare beef and brisket and one with just the well done brisket. To be fair, the broth was flavourful. However that's the only positive thing about this place. The meat they serve here is extremely fatty and poor quality. After watching my wife take her first bite, I immediately stopped her because I noticed a hair in her food. This likely means that their cooks are not wearing hair nets. We called over one of the servers and instead of apologizing for the inconvenience - she stated the obvious and said that she will take it off the bill. Grossed out completely, I couldn't take another bite of mine. I would never step into this place again. Food was disgusting, service was terrible and there was hair in our food. Ewwwwww. read more

It was really a shock to know that this place actually does not accept credit cards. They will tell you to withdraw cash using your credit card from the machine that is sitting inside the restaurant and guess what!? It says on the machine and on the receipt that the atm fee will be paid to the owner. Its because youre stucked and you unfortunately did not bring cash or your debit card and they did not even inform their customer by posting somewhere in the area that their restaurant is not accepting credit cards, you will end up in their machine. Wow! I dont recommend this place. There are other nice Pho restaurants that serves tasty food at a reasonable price and those restaurants deserve a gratuities read more

We have visited numerous times before and always had a great experience, but today was beyond sub par. The guy who is normally there is attentive, funny and knows his stuff. Today he wasn't there and the place wasn't the same without him. We visited for an early lunch and the disaster started with the salad rolls. I took a bite and pulled a huge long hair out of my mouth as the server dropped off a soup. He watched me and said nothing, just went on with life. Drinks were unblended despite our request for blended. In fact, they were totally unmixed syrup was all over the tops of the cups and dumped within - not at all appetizing or worthy of the price, especially as half the bubbles were trapped in the cups below the plethora of ice. My husbands meal was overcooked and under-spiced, but no one bothered to check to see how things were or anything. When we had to go to the front to ask about what happened with the drinks and request takeout containers THREE TIMES - there was no one there who could properly communicate in English, this was beyond frustrating as the young woman had no idea what my husband was talking about. Totally not worth the $80. We will not be back. read more

This restaurant is not too bad. They have the usual Vietnamese menu with an extensive list to choose from. The prices are average compared to other Vietnamese places. The food is good. Just be aware that they only accept debit and cash. No credit card. You will not be blown away it's an honest meal that will keep you full. read more

Like some other reviews say, don't be put off by the outside. The inside is clean and much better looking. Service is very friendly, and quite quick. We went for lunch, and it was fairly quiet, although there was a steady stream of folks coming and going. I had the lemongrass chicken and rice. (#472) It was very flavourful, but nothing special. That being said, I really liked the soy sauce that came with it. I also ordered a side order of vegetarian spring rolls. These didn't come out until I was half way through my meal, and when they did, they weren't worth it. Although freshly made and cooked, they tasted bland, I certainly wouldn't order them again My wife had the crab claw appetiser, which she really liked, but wasn't a fan of her main meal, the pork and shrimp noodles. It tasted like too much artificial crab powder had been used, and whilst not bad, wasn't good. The staff are very friendly, and other than the wait for my spring rolls, the service is very good. Payment is by cash or debit only, they do not take any credit cards. Overall I would eat here again, but wouldn't rush back. read more

WOW!... Am I ever pleasantly surprised! Don't let the outside fool you its very nice inside and they obviously spent the money inside rather than remodeling the old pizza hut outsides just yet. Dropped in today for lunch and hoping to be first to review ( not..lol) and it was awesome! I had a bowl of pho ( #325) and it was full of rare beef, meat balls etc and perfect. I have had Pho at 4 different places and I am no expert but this was delicious and I definately am going back, especially since its close to work. Yummy and very polite and friendly folks..in Oshawa no less..wow read more

So, I've tried pho a few times when I was working in Markham. I wasn't a fan. I tried to like it. I WANTED TO LIKE IT. Everyone talks about pho like it's the best food on the planet, but I just can't love it. Since, I can't find a pho I like, I didn't think it would be fair to review a restaurant based on a food I haven't grown to love. This was on 2 separate visits. We started with Shrimp Rolls and Mango Salad. A great way to start. The mango salad was amazing. It was smothered in a sweet sauce with green peppers. Wow. The shrimp rolls in rice paper were good; very fresh. Enter Vermicelli. Well, hello there. Come here often? Oh vermicelli. How you've found your way into my heart and onto my thighs. I ordered the vermicelli with spring roll and grilled meat and my mom ordered the vermicelli with spring roll and shrimp on sugar cane. Their spring rolls are different. They're not like Chinese spring rolls; these are full of meat and only meat. The description says pork and shrimp, but it doesn't taste like either. It's hard to pick out the spices they used. The grilled meat was a sausage; I didn't expect a sausage, but it was good! My mom's dish was confusing at first. She didn't realize the shrimp would be skewered on the sugar cane and breaded. We didn't know what it was. She dug in and it was good. The salad was salad. The noodles are addicting. So light and tasty. If it was a bowl full of spaghetti noodles, we couldn't have finished. It's the giant meal that doesn't put you in a food coma after. Win-Win. Dessert. We had room, why not? They had various ice cream sundaes to choose from and many toppings. We were shocked. The ice cream was AMAZING. It was creamy and delicious, like the good stuff you get at the grocery store or Kawartha Dairy! The fruit was fresh and the toppings were plentiful. I know it's a simple dessert, but we were pleasantly surprised. The service was great on both visits. Our server was funny and good at explaining what the menu didn't. We had the same gentleman both times. He's fantastic and makes you feel comfortable. He must be used to customers venturing into unknown territory! The prices are also fantastic. You really can't go wrong. I'd absolutely go back, that's why I did. I knew there was something good in this place! You should try it! read more

My go to for Pho in Durham. Every time come here I'm friendly greeted and I sit wherever I want. Food comes out extremely fast and is delicious. Always get the spring roll and beef medley pho, but my girlfriend has got the pad thai and friends have got the seafood pho. Food here is great! A nice place to visit when you want to try something new or when you want to get that delicious pho fix. read more

That's right. Pho in the Shwa. I was thrilled when I saw the signs go up in the place that use to be a Pizza Hut. It's nice and clean on the inside. The place settings are exactly what you'd expect from a pho house. Ordered the rare beef and brisket and the spring rolls. Amazzing! Unless you're super hungry I'd recommend getting the small bowl, I found the medium to be way more than I could finish, and a large is just right for sharing with the wife. I work downtown T.O. near Spadina, and I've been to countless pho joints in Chinatown. This place can compete with any of them. read more
