Pho Dau Bo Restaurant

Today we were in your restaurant. We took one soup for home; there was a cockroach in the soup. The soup had to be thrown away. Wasted money. This means that the kitchen is completely unsanitary. This is terrible because the food is delicious, but the quality of the food leaves much to be desired. Be careful when you eat, look at everything inside the plate

My go-to place for pho. Although I live in Etobicoke and pass probably seven or eight other places, I always come here. Quality, service and prices are excellent. Post Covid, they have made adjustments to their dining area. No longer do they have different sauces on the table. You will have to ask for them. Prices did seem to go up maybe by half a dollar, but still a great value for such a flavourful product. Yes, I will keep on passing those other pho place to come here.

This has been my go to Pho restaurant since I moved to Etobicoke a couple years ago. Their soup base is consistently tasty and delicious noodles. Fast and friendly service. My favorite meat is rare beef and it's excellent. The spring roll appetizers are very crisp and taste fresh and homemade. Nice calming atmosphere.

I was in the area looking for food and found this Pho place. The menue price isn't on the high side. However the starter shrimp roll is so plane and the vegi inside isn't as fresh as I tried somewhere else. The dipping sauce is on the lighter side too.
I didn't go for the soup noodle because I saw their rice dish comes with some interesting sides: pork skin and steam egg. The grill chicken is cutted thin and in large piece, which makes it came out quite dry. The shredded pork skin is my first time in Pho place. Sour and chewy texture does make it special. The steam is pre-made and reheated when order.
Overall it is a busy takeout and family restaurant. If you just need to grab a quick meals, it is ok to try this.

One of my family favourites to eat Vietnamese food. Service is quick and the food is delicious.prices are also affordable I reccomend any pho or vermicelli

Service is rude.
Pho is too salty.

I highly recommend Pho Dau Bo as a top destination for those seeking authentic and delicious Vietnamese cuisine. Their bun bo hue is a standout dish, with bold flavors and perfect spice levels. The deep fried spring rolls are a must-try, packed with a variety of fresh ingredients that are sure to satisfy. The pho is clear and rich, showcasing the care and attention to detail that goes into crafting each dish. The restaurant's welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff only add to the overall dining experience.

This is a great place, good food for a very reasonable price and i will visit again. They are friendly and smiling.

Vegetarian section in the menu, yay! I ordered the bun (noodles) with vegetarian spring rolls. The spring rolls had taro in it but was otherwise basic. Could have given more noodles. Milkshakes are still $5 which is rare these days. The washroom could have been a lot cleaner. But overall happy to have found this place with lots of vegetarian options.

Best Pho in all of the GTA this restaurant is extremely consistent when it comes to the food, service, and atmosphere. The menu is vast and has something for everyone. I have not had a bad experience in my over 50+ visits. I recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone regardless of your familiarity with the cuisine. Not to mention the prices are amazing.

Pro: legit flavours and quality food. Good portion sizes

Con: decor is a bit dated but not icky or anything like that

Delicious authentic Vietnamese food. One of my most favourite places for great Pho and spring rolls.

Food was so-so, but good value for the price as it was cheaper than other Vietnamese restaurants we've visited in GTA. The beef was not really fresh in the bun bo Hue we ordered, but the pho portion was generous.

Clean and bright place, friendly and attentive servers, generous servings and great food! Will definitely visit again.

Great little pho spot. Been going for 15 years. Same great taste. Quick service and always friendly.

The food is very tasty! The deep fried tofu is a must try! And the environment is very clean, the people are nice!

My order got confused, came as seafood pho, I told them I wanted the vegetable with tofu. They took the plate and removed the seafood and served me the same plate, I found bits and pieces of seafood in it and it tasted different than usual. On top of that we got a rude staff. I suggest they confirm the order before taking it. Am not coming back again.

Middle of the road pho.

The table side accompaniments could use a cleaning as there is a dark dried layer on the lids.

The food here is average. Nothing particularly great or memorable. Soup is filling, meat portion is good for price. My husband ordered pho with rare beef and I had mine well done. They looked identical. The sprouts portion is enough for one small soup, we had to request more.
The tables and place looked clean, but their table condiments looked forgotten; the caps were gunked up and dirty.

UPDATE:
Unfortunately, my 1-star rating reflects what I feel PDB deservs. This used to be our go-to- place - not quite anymore. There is a significant decline in quality, portion and flavour, yet prices gradually climb. Every item tastes lighter flavour wise, especially the fruits shakes, which, is bland as heck containing absolutely half of fruit thus tastes water down as. Either PDB is losing profit due to pandemic or they are just compromising their business integrity over profit and greed. Not smart, good business practice. They should be embarrassed to stand behind what they have put out there for their clients.

Sorry to say, our extended famiies and friends will essentially not be returning faithful customers after so many years. It is terrible enough for me to go elsewhere, even my. Perhaps PDB will reconsider their business practices, show customers they actually appreciate their business.

Good food, good portions, menu is limited to Vietnamese dishes. Pho is better than the rice dishes imo. Prices are a bit high but that's fair and in line with inflation and the fact they updated the place. Food and customer service is fast and most of the staff are efficient and polite albeit they do not really seem too engaging. Gave 3 stars because of small menu, like no fried rice.

The Pho Soup from here was simply fabulous, out of the 4 people who tasted it, it was loved by everyone. My son in law said it was the best he has ever tasted outside Vietnam. We drove there and ordered to take out and were shocked at the speed of service, it was ready and bagged up superfast. Have big bowls at home to assemble in if you get take out. I highly recommend thus place.

Not so fancy restaurant but the food tastes good. The staff were quick to respond to my request.

This used to be my wife and my go-to place for Vietnamese food cravings when we lived near the area. It is family run and service is very efficient. There are some unique noodle bowls with fried shrimp cakes, and crispy spring rolls that I've rarely had elsewhere. Can't complain for the prices.

I was pleasantly surprised when I went back to see that it has been renovated. The interior is now brighter than the dim setting from before. The food is also still reliable, as the grilled meat was well-seasoned.

Huge selection of authentic Vietnamese soups and dishes. The soup broth is rich and full of flavour. I will definitely be coming back. Prices are very reasonable.

Our usual pho spot branch in Brampton hasn't been open for dine-in. We tried two of the Mississauga branches and preferred this one due to better staff and well lit location. Consistent taste and fast service, with sanitizers on each table. Friendly staff on Fridays. Only downside is due to the location being a small plaza, parking spaces can be tough especially when it gets busy. The staff tries their best to screen and be vigilant on accepting dine-in customers due to Covid, but some elders (experienced when we went there on a Sunday) seems to ignore these protocols due to language/comprehension barriers. Some customers also doesn't care when using their washroom.

We went to have lunch with friend. To try to give it a try, very cautiously, after so long stay at home and only eat home made foods and meals.

Not so many customers when we have lunch at that time. They do checking for covid19 certificates but not for the ID.
Most of the foods / menus are still the same like before.

It seems the prices are a bit higher than last time we visited, last two years before covid-19, as far as I can remember.

The restaurant is clean, and there is no more ready chilli sauce in the small bowl on the table, instead they provide the chilli sauce in bottle now. And there is also no ready for use new chopstick, spoons and forks in the table.
Instead they provide them individually wrapped with paper tissue with the meal.

Luckily, they did not limit how long we can sit and eat inside.

This is the first time we went out for lunch after more than 1.5 years stay and eat home made meals and foods, due to covid-19.

Had it so many customers inside or crowded or have to line up to be seated, we would be better cancel and go home.

Anyway, it is a new experience and a new way and rule to have eating outside.

Best pho I've ever had! Very fresh, great service and very good Covid protocols inside when picking up.

We’ve been going to this location for the last few years and they never fail us. Deli food and great set up for covid. You know the food is great when a native said so

Solid pho, great broth and probably tastier than average. Spring rolls are fantastic. Prices are right and service is good.

The grilled chicken and shrimp is really good. Broth is really flavourful. I would 100% recommend this restaurant!

I've never been to this place for a while because of the Covid-19. But I decided to drop by today for takeout. It's been consistently very good. Service was excellent.

Ordered these favourites many times and they always taste awesomely yummy and delicious.
- Vermicelli noodles with spring rolls & tofu skin shrimp paste.
- Broken rice with lemon grass chicken and spring rolls.
- Pho eye round steak & tendon beef.

Came here on Sunday for lunch. I ordered the vegetarian spring rolls on noodles. Veggies were fresh & spring rolls were delicious. It’s a very good option for vegetarians! I only wish they had more selection for vegetarians. My mom & dad ordered the pho dac biet in large and small. Oddly enough my mom’s pho was much saltier than my dad’s bowl so she couldn’t finish it.

The space itself is bright and updated. I was pleasantly surprised with the interior. I would recommend this place for a cost friendly meal, but it’s not a restaurant I would go out of my way for.

Probably one of the best pho places in GTA. Delicious food. Reasonably priced. Friendly/polite serving staff (rare for Viet place).

I've visited this restaurant for many years now and it has kept its consistency serving great soups, other dishes and excellent service.

This location is been my childhood when i come to have Pho. The food here is taste very good and I enjoyed it.

One of the best soup bases we've ever had. So, we make the trek here whenever we're feeling like having pho.

This is my go to Pho place. I have been coming here for over 15 years. I have colleagues and friends who come here from as far as downtown Toronto and the Beach. All other Pho restaurants I eat at, both locally and abroad, I compare to this location as my gold standard reference.

The broth is consistently rich and perfectly seasoned. Great variety of dishes on the menu. Generous garnishes of fresh sprouts, Asian basil and greens come with your Pho. Lots of condiments provided. Very friendly service. Good variety of Asian specialty drinks. Reasonably priced. You get 3-4 choices of bowl sizes. Great comfort food on a cold or rainy day. I’ve never been disappointed coming here. Very fast service and friendly staff.

The best pho that I have had in Mississauga. Food was hot and fresh and they were happy to make my food extra spicy without an extra cost. Portions were huge and Restaurant is big with enough seating and parking is huge.

Would I Return? YES

I've only been here one time, but the food is pretty decent.
It's a relatively small space, but the service is fast and the food is fresh.
Clearly it's popular around lunchtime because it was packed when I visited.

The Springrolls were nice and crispy and the Pho was hot, and delicious and didn't require a gallon of water after to quell all the salt (I find this to be a common issue with Pho Joints).
As far as the flavour. I'd describe it as "clean" - didn't taste like it had a bunch of additives and was like simple stock.

‍️I don't know about consistency and overall quality because I've only done one visit.

BUT.
As usual. If anything changes, I'll keep ya' posted and update my review.

Had the phò, grilled chicken and coffee for breakfast. Generous portions. Tasty and satisfying. Place is clean with friendly staff. I regret not discovering this place sooner.

Yummy Vietnamese food at a very affordable price! The inside is brightly lit and clean. The server was nice and the food came very fast. I had their pho to bo vien and with a side of a piece pork which came with a side of fish sauce. They had a lot of selection on their menu and had a lot of drinks/milkshakes to offer!

Good spot in suaga. This whole plaza is good. You can eat the world's food on this plaza alone. Good appys. We just went there for appys

Some of the best pho I've ever had. Though I did also have a Vietnamese friend tell me how to eat it

One of my favourite, if not my favourite pho place. Where other pho places have continued to raise prices but at the same time lower portion sizes, this place remains consistent, and still manages to provide arguably the best tasting pho around.

Best pho in the area! Have only tried a couple of side dishes and they were decent, but I only really go for the pho.

Classic pho. Haven't had a bad dish, pho or vermicelli. If you're looking for a good old fashioned noodle bowl, look no further. Can't go wrong here.

Place is very clean. Service is quite descent. Food here is great. There are MANY soup's choice to choose from. Soup and price are quite cheap.

Been coming here since I was a kid. Pho is always consistent and hot, always delicious and reasonably priced. Next door has a Bahmi place which is also really good.

Had delicious Pho and Coconut Milk-Tapioca-Jelly-Mung bean drink. It was very delicious. Price is very good considering the portion sizes. Customer service is a little non-existent but not really needed either as you just pick something on the menu, if you're not sure what it is, look at the picture, then write the corresponding numbered item on the slip they give you.done. When you are finished you meal walk to the register and pay. I would come back here again.

Very favourite place to get pho. Priced quite well and always fast. Great place to grab a quick bite to eat, highly recommended.

The "go to" for PHO. Fast service, good food. Bubble tea available that the kids order. Had the rare and well done beef pho. The best part is you order, they serve and you eat. No fake chit chat, no answering questions about what sides I want, if I need a drink etc.
