The food was amazing, however, the staff was not. I was ordering a takeout and they barely addressed me, they rudely gave me a menu and didn’t say anything. I have order in restaurants like this before and understand de writing the system. But this was not nice.
The Vietnamese restaurant hack I learned from my brother in law: We like Vietnamese fried spring rolls so we order a vermicelli noodle dish and substitute rice instead of noodles. This way you get a spring roll and more veggies than the rice dishes. This place also wraps their fried spring rolls in rice wrap which gives them a chewier texture that I love.
I have been frequenters here since few years back. Usually the service is really good, fast and friendly. Food is decently priced. But over the year maybe after the pandemic they've gone down hill 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 cheaper better quality options in the neighbourhood.
We walked in this place hesitantly because of the rating. After eating lunch here with 3 other people, it is completely puzzling why reviews are not favourable.
The food was absolutely delicious. Fair prices. Quick prompt service. Perhaps its not as ‘fine’ dining as they claim, but the food is great.
This is a MUST TRY if you're looking for the Cơm Tấm in Toronto.
I had thought that the experience I had from several Vietnamese restaurants before this one, had been good enough until I tried this one.
The fish sauce, which is the soul of the Cơm Tấm dishes, is tremendous. They made it so tasty, especially the fragrant flavor from the fish sauce, not like the plain ones from the other restaurants.
Yet, the "Steamed crab cake" is also a star here which still preserves the soft texture and crab flavor. All the side dishes like pickled carrots - radish and the veggies still remain juicy.
I will return because I got addicted in the Cơm Tấm here.
The food here is generally pretty good however I have to leave a 2 star review due to carelessness.
I had ordered a chicken pad Thai to go and specifically said no peanuts due to my allergy. I understand there’s always the possibility of cross contamination, however when I got Home and began eating I found a few peanuts in the food.
I am a regular at pho phoung. Everytime I go it’s been a great experience. This time i decided to Uber eat my meal.all I got was the fat of the brisket. Im so disappointed
Never even got to eat here because they didn't complete my DoorDash order. I had to cancel my order after waiting for 50 minutes from the time they confirmed my order.
First time here, though we've lived really close and have always passed it. The presentation and service are top end. All bases covered for the Pho dish: fresh basil and sprouts and dandelion greens. Classic tall can of Tiger made this meal kinda perfect.
The pic is Bún xào, and it was very sprouty, but had lots of shaved pork and small shrimp.
The Pho's broth had a lot of clove - more than others in the 'hood, but it was still delicious.
I've been coming here since they opened The food is absolutely fabulous For me, this is an extension of my family That's how you feel when you come here Love this place
Nice place, good food, generous portions, good service and fair price. The menu is also quite comprehensive with a good selection to choose from. Recommended big time if you’d like to enjoy a good food between whatever took you to this wonderful part of the city!
Amazing takeout every time! Thank you very much for the kind service. I had the veggie Pad Thai and fresh rolls with tofu. So good! Can’t wait to order again.
Best Vietnamese food in town! I Ordered for my clients and they all loved it! Food arrived hot and the taste was out of this world! I would totally recommend this restaurant and by far the best!
The best pho in the city. We always have the best experience at Pho Phuong. The seating is spacious and works well for both small and large groups. The staff are great and the food is always delicious.
Food is delicious, but it also looks just as good. I had great service at this place before covid and for takeout. Those fancy bubble tea drinks are bomb!
Hands down, the best Vietnamese cuisine around. Ordered for a corporate lunch for my colleagues and myself and it was the best! Food came on time, hot and fresh, with tons of extras and generous portions! I would highly recommend you pop in and try it for yourself. Will not compare to anywhere else.
I am very specific about my Vietnamese and I must say this is my favourite restaurant by far. It took 2.5 years for me to find and decide but it’s done.
Clear, flavorful broth, a menu diverse enough for any true Vietnamese foodie, and just the freshest most authentic food I could have ever asked for. The banh cuon this nuong, swear, best in the city for freshness, quality and pure deliciousness. I am convinced I can now order the ban xeo which I’ve been reluctant with since Covid and deliveries and quality.
On top of that, service. Wow. The owner called me when I had one wrong ubereats order then ordered again to supplement and she even sent through a complimentary dish alongside the soup that was forgotten in my previous order.
Mark my word, this will be my go to. Thank you for being so amazing!
Gave this place another try hoping that my previous bad experience was just a fluke. The first time: I ordered take out, a rice dish. I didn't notice they had upgraded my order and charged me more than for what I had actually ordered until I got home. My upgraded order included a pork chop (I don't eat pork at all) and I was upset. I called and the man who answered said that since they had been dead all day that he upgraded my order for a bigger sale. What the hell? Today I tried again and ordered a noodle dish that came with 3 kinds of beef and some shrimp. I checked my order as soon as I left the restaurant and sure enough the shrimp was missing. I called and was given the run around about why my order was missing the shrimp that I paid for. Finally they agreed to give me the shrimp and I went back to pick it up. The food quality both times was perfectly average and the serving sizes are alot smaller in terms of meat to noodle ratio size while the price is on avg $3 higher than other Vietnamese restaurants for the same dish. Disappointing food and even more disappointing customer service.
Arrived with a group of three for late lunch on a Saturday. Place wasn't too busy and we promptly ordered tea, an appetizer and a bowl of soup each. Appetizer and tea arrived at the same time as the soups, which would have been fine, but we were missing an ordered bowl. Didn't comment on the missing third bowl right away, but we assumed it would be coming soon. No one came by, and our last soup was still MIA, so we needed to flag down a server and check in. About another five minutes later, a different server came by and asked if we were missing anything. By the time the soup came out, (in a different size we ordered to boot) it had been close to 15 minutes from the earlier arrival of the food. Would have been nice if our group was actually, ya know, able to eat at the same time. After the mistake, servers seemed to avoid our table, and we eventually had to go up and request our bill after 10+ more minutes of waiting (no comp or discount was offered, could have at least offered to comp the tea). Only got a verbal apology after paying, and from a server unrelated to the mix up to boot.
I get that mistakes happen, but we got no explanation, and an unsatisfactory apology that made the visit a frustrating experience. The confusion and lack of responsibility from the front of house makes me apprehensive to return.
Excellent affordable Vietnamese Restaurant! Lots of food choices! The servers are friendly and respectful. The place is clean and tidy. I had Beef Brisket phou which I enjoyed. Shrimp and spring rolls appetizers and banana split for dessert I will recommend this place to anyone looking to experience Vietnamese cuisine. Pho Phuong is the place.
One of my favorite Pho spots in the city and definitely the best in Parkdale. The basics are all done to perfection, as their broth is truly spectacular. They also offer an interesting budget menu for small or single items, perfect for adding that little extra something to your soup or noodle plate (like a fried egg, or a single pork chop). A favorite of mine for when you are feeling adventurous is the Pho Tai Date, a rich and spicy rare beef soup with the nutty, savoury goodness of Sesame seeds in a velvety coconut milk broth.
Better than I expected. The food is true authentic Vietnamese cuisine. The price might be higher than other places by $1 or $2 but their portions are huge. I love it and will come back for sure!
Food is always good and sometimes excellent. Prices are reasonable overall, but somewhat higher than the places in Chinatown. Get the stir fry with Basa fish and rice.a spectacular meal!
Been to this vietnamese pho restaurant a few times before. They said they close at 10 but we were the last table and the kitchen closed at around 9 or 915pm. Staff were alright but could've been a bit more friendly. Food was good though, the broth was very tasty and had lots of beef flavour. My friend said her noodles were very tasty as well. Only real complaint is the portion sizes. I ordered x-large but it really looked like a large but in an x-large bowl, so not really good value there. Overall I would return as the broth was much more tastier than I remembered but I would probably just get a large size since it's much better value. I also do recommend to anyone who likes pho.
Food here is disgusting. The pork chop was so dry and flavourless it tasted like i was eating a cats tongue. "Chopped rice" was'nt even "chopped". One of the worse viet places ive ever been to. Couldnt even take the time to label what was duck congee vs chicken. My order was a delivery though so not much I could do about it.
After ordering, I quickly got the pho I ordered. However I waited another 30 minutes before asking where the rest of my order was. It was only then that they realized that they forgot the rest of the order. (We were the only customers in the restaurant at the time). Waited another 15 minutes for the rest. This isnt the only time this delay had occurred. This happened multiple times that I have visited this place. Gave them multiple chances, but i wont be going back here due to the slow service. Disappointed.
If I could put no stars i would horrible the service horrible food overpriced for the portions you get bug in the water would not recommend will not go back
I have been ordering from Pho Phuong on Skip the dishes for 1 years. But they always don't give a **** about my order. There was always 1 missing item such as a coke, extra rice. I don't know if they really forgot them or they wanted to forget on purpose. But I never gave them a bad review until today. I ordered a duck noodles soup. It served with cabbage slaw. But There was no slaw. The reason why I ordered this noodles was because of the slaw. The broth was bland and It's overprice. They charged me $12 for this. I would give you 0 star if I could. I never order from this restaurant again.
