The Joy of PHO

Delicious meal and amazing service by our server, Cindy. She was fantastic and so friendly! Would definitely come again.

No service at all. We wait for at least 20 min to get the menus which the store is only 3-4 tables only. We hands up and called verbally, people at the bar are just ignore us, and we are sitting right in front of the bar!

We are super disappointed.

Very good restaurant. The food tastes great, the staff are extremely friendly, and the service is quick. Definitely a great place to dine.

I had the house special vermicelli noodles and they were absolutely delicious! Cindy was the best server I’ve ever had. She was so friendly and nice and attentive. I would definitely come again.

It was very nice to come on a chilly evening for a hot bowl of pho. My dish of broken rice with beef was also very tasty. Our waitress Cindy was very knowledgeable and friendly and made great recommendations. Will come back soon.

First time coming here, was happily impressed by the quality! My partner and I both ordered the Large Pho Dac Biet and it was really filling. The pho broth alone tasted authentic and rich in flavour even without adding any sauces. A big bonus was the great quantity of meat and toppings! Would definitely come back to try other menu options.

Had a meat filled Pho there for lunch with a friend who got stir fry noodles with meat, we both were so happy with the freshness, prices, portions, taste and the service. Protect this place at all costs!

The food was very delicious as well as offering friendly and helpful service. I had what the server recommended which was the S-02. It was just the right amount of spice and was accompanied with a flavorful beef broth/good meat portions. I very much enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant which had calming and inviting decor. Tables were spaced out giving enough room to enjoy your meal with family and not having the feeling of being crammed inside which I have experienced with other Pho restaurants. I will definitely come back!

Been to alot of pho restaurants food is good/great and is fairly priced. Big restaurant generally always a table available.

Pho is so good here I’m literally leaving a review as I’m eating lol! Great service! Definitely worth the drive to come here!

Decided to come here for a quick dinner and got seated right away. This is a spacious restaurant with very friendly staff. The fresh rolls with prawn and pork were delicious! The pho came with lots of meat, but the broth was slightly too salty.

It was a first time I came here. The stone bowl pho was awesome. It was huge of meat and the quality of meat was great. Also, the spring rolls was very crispy, even after I finished the pho. The server was friendly and quickly. I am really like it and recommend to go

If you have the opportunity to pass by Richmond Hill, do not hesitate to stop by The art of Pho, you will not be disappointed. I ordered a hot stone bowl of pho, the beef broth was very tasty, the beef was fresh and the appetizers like spring rolls were also very flavourful. The space inside is very clean and airy. Service was very enthusiastic and I found the food to be served quite quickly. I will definitely come back to support this restaurant many more times in the future

The food here is amazing. It is on the pricey side for pho and inside doesn't really look nice but the food is worth it.

1st time there Nov 26. Decided to give it a chance. Well, let me tell you it was a great experience. The food was great, the service was awesome, and the price was very reasonable. We met the owner Rick. A very passionate man who cares about his business and customer service. You have what it takes to have a successful business. We will definitely be back.

I have a 502 shredded rice with pork, beef, steamed egg and Vietnamese style sausage for my lunch.

Appreciate that shredded rice is use. This seems to preserve the tradition and provide an extra layer of sense.

The beef tastes good as it is grilled with honey. It is also very soft and easy to chew. (The owner tells me that they buy the best beef to ensure the quality and the softness of the meat. Appreciate very much).

The taste of the pork seems a bit light and can be more salty.

The Vietnamese-style steamed egg also taste good. Very soft and smooth. Not too salty.

The attendants are very friendly and helpful.

I went with my family for lunch and ordered rice noodles with seafood. It was pretty good except that they over charged our food (the price the charged was more than the price in the menu).

This was not good food. The chicken in the Pho was untrimmed and fatty and the broth lacked flavour. The Pad Thai was completely peanut free in every way, chicken was gray and it was oily. The Pad Thai was fried (as advertised) but actually burnt in some places - you could smell the burnt when it arrived at the table. The noodles were stuck together in clumps so it clearly was not fresh. The only good part of the Pad Thai was fresh peppers in it. The spring rolls seemed to be fried more than once.
Service was lacklustre. They brought my Pad Thai before the spring rolls or my partner’s Pho. Server didn’t return to the table to check on our food or offer more tea. The place was almost empty which was not surprising. We left after eating half our meal.

Service was top notch and super fast, we also loved the pho, portions are huge for the price, great to have such super healthy choices around! Thank you

Unique stone bowl of pho. It came out boiling and kept it hot thru the meal. Friendly staff, great service. Definite coming back here.

Was surpringly shocked to find such a good pho restaurant this up north of yonge. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for some spicy bun bo hue:) looking forward to trying more dishes.

We tried Joy of Pho on a limb, and it didn’t disappoint! We went with the house special pho and the newly featured stone bowl pho.

The house special was a very generous portion of noodles and meat. The soup was excellent and left very satisfied. The stone bowl was highly recommended and was worth every penny. You can tell extra care went into its preparation. The soup was EXTRA special and came with premium meats that tasted incredible. Halfway through our meal the owners were checking in and recommended our table an order of pork and veggie spring rolls. They were fresh and the texture was unlike any spring roll I’ve ever had.

Needless to say, both my wife and I were stuffed at the end of our meal with extras to take home. Would definitely eat here again, 10/10 recommended!

A couple of friends and I decided to try this place since it was close to the theater and we wanted to grab a quick bite to eat.

Pleasantly surprised from this little small business. The staff were friendly and attentive, service was quick, the restaurant was clean and well lit and the owner was also super sweet! He came over to make sure everything was good and checked up on us throughout the night.

I ordered the Grilled Lemongrass Beef and Spring Roll Vermicelli, my friend got the Pork version and my other friends got Pho. The portions are pretty big and very filling! I was quite satisfied after my finishing my bowl. The owner thought my friend and I didn't have enough meat in our vermicelli and gave us some more! My only complaint about my order was the meat was a little too salty for my liking but other than that it was very satisfying.

I got to try their brown sugar milk tea and I actually really enjoyed it! It wasn't too sweet or too milky. Everything just worked well together. One of my friends got the avocado milkshake and said it was pretty good after letting it melt a little and my other friend tried the lemon/limeade which was also very refreshing!

They have a pretty big menu and lots to try, I definitely wanna give their banh mi a try next time! Its a small shop but the quality and service is definitely amazing. If you're ever in the area and want some good Vietnamese food, I would definitely recommend this!

One of my fav pho restaurants in Richmond Hill! The dishes are affordable and the portions are generous.

Come here for generous portions and authentic Vietnamese food! You can tell that everything was made with care. My mango smoothie was very fresh. Staff were very friendly as well.

Definitely the best pho around. Broth was absolutely amazing and the spring rolls were nothing like I've had before. Very friendly staff. Would come back anytime!

Best costumer service I've ever had. I love this place and the food was amazing. 100%will recommend

Generous portions and great cuts of meat at a good price. Clean and spacious, would definitely come back!

Wow.so ecited Vietnamese restaurant on my neboughood with real Vietnsmese taste, great food and great sevices, hightly recomend.

We placed order for pick up and they did amazing jobs in really short time for multiple orders. Food is still hot, flavour is awesome and the services through the phone or dine in is perfect. Will come back absolutely:)

Since opening, this place has become one of my top-list weekday lunch restaurants: excellent customer service, tasty pho, and reasonable price for a combo for two. The owner redefined their Mango drink which is much better now. A nice family-owned restaurant in our neighbourhood!

The owner showed great passion in Vietnamese cuisine. The LED menu panel on the wall with Banh Mi caught my eyes, i ordered lemongrass and chicken and it was just moist, tender and delicious! The cold Vietnamese Vermicelli was very very good as well!

Oh! Almost forgot to mention. Their iced coffee was very authentic and strong (not the overkill type of strong though), I am sure you will like it too!

Restaurant is clean. Good service. First time trying hot stone bowl, pho was quite good, highly recommend. Looking forward to trying other dishes on the menu next time.

Visited Friday, November 5 at 7PM for Dine-In

We forgot to take a picture of our food because we were all SO HUNGRY haha

But this hit the spot for me.
Pho and Vermicelli noodles.

I ordered the Lemongrass Pork with Vermicelli Noodles. We also had a Beef with Noodles and two orders of Pho.

The portions were good and everything tasted amazing.
Maybe I have a small stomach but the Small bowl of Pho would be enough for me.
Lots of veggies with their vermicelli noodles - I'll probably ask for no bean sprouts and more noodles next time lol
Good portion of radish and carrots, greens and cucumber, noodles, a spring roll cut in three, and deliciously seasoned meat.

The Service was amazing. The staff were so attentive and kind.

It's not a HUGE place but definitely a good place for a more relaxed and quick bite to eat.

The owner came to check on us and he was very kind and funny.
Apparently there wasn't enough meat in two of our dishes so he brought out some more. Or maybe he thought we were too skinny and needed us to eat more hahaha

Our friend ordered the Avocado Smoothie which she said was delicious but needed time to melt before drinking.
Another friend tried the Vietnamese Lemonade which was like a lemon/limeaid which was also very cold and refreshing.

And we also tried the Small Brown Sugar Mill Tea.
It was surprisingly quite good. Refreshing and not super overly sweet. It was actually the perfect balance. (All their bubble teas are milk tea - maybe next time I'll try the Mango)
But if bubble tea isn't your thing they do have a very extensive menu on the LED board or takeout menu.

My one tiny criticism is their take out menu is a bit too small and quite hard to read. But that is an easy fix.

The restaurant is clean. Food is fresh. Service is fast.

If you're in the area and are looking for comforting Vietnamese food you should try this place out.

A hidden gem for Pho! I came here with my partner and as we walked in the atmosphere was a lovely cafe style setting which was super refreshing compared to the hustle and bustle of pho restaurants regularly. When we sat down we had prompt service and the waitress was so pleasant and sweet. The food came to the table very quickly- was fresh & delicious. You can tell the broth of the pho is carefully made and not too cloudy with oil. Meat slices were great quality (compared to some places that use cheap meat). Overall this is a wonderful restaurant and definitely deserves more visits! The price is definitely worth it!

The service was fast, phở in a stone pot are very very good, bún chả goi delicious. We will absolutely coming back to try different dishes

From staff to chef none of them wear Mask.
They also use cheap Dollarama spoon for utensil *** and they re-use it*** see picture

Pho was decent. Went with a couple friends and they gave us a large portion of meat in our bowls. I got the P-02. They said 20 minutes but food came quick and in like 10. It was fresh and hot, I just wish there were more noodles to rival the amount of meat but I’m not complaining! I also got a taro milk tea. The milk tea was watery and I asked for no ice in it, the tapioca wasn’t even chewy it just like fell apart in your mouth. The food was decent, I don’t recommend the bubble tea tho.

I’m a regular here and I can’t say enough about their food
I work in the plaza so I have lunch here everyday, the food is perfect every time and the service is excellent.

Ordered takeout to give the restaurant a try. Overall, food was great and the Pho soup was very hot in temperature. Overall pleased with the food.
