Review from Kimberley N.
Mississauga, ON
Just got back from Golden Turtle and I am definitely a fan of their pho! My family and I have been going here since I was a little kid and we decided to drop by this restaurant this afternoon.
When we arrived there was a small line up so we had to wait about 5 minutes before we were seated. When you walk into the restaurant you will smell their delicious broth and it makes your mouth water. The interior is pretty typical like most Vietnamese restaurants. However, they need to replace the cushioning on the chairs because they were pretty hard...not that I'm complaining, it's more of a suggestion.
Everyone ordered a large bowl of Pho Dac Biet (#101). The broth tasted fresh and seasoned perfectly that you didn't even have to add any hoisin sauce or lime. But since I always add lime to my broth, I added some in. The meat was soft and tender which is a good thing because who likes chewy meat? I usually order a small at every restaurant but I finished the large bowl off and was pretty satisfied. So if you're hungry I would suggest going for a large or extra large.
You should definitely drop by Golden Turtle for some delicious pho when you are in the area. -

my official rating is actually 3.75 stars and getting better every time. their pho broth is def not as sodium filled as once a upon a time. it does however still contains much of the oil from the beef in the broth which is how i like it. The fresh shrimp rolls were fresh and delicious and maintains that consistency the last few times ive been. you know sometimes you get them and the rice wrap is old and tough. sometimes also the veggies are old. the service is much better now since they have more wait staff since changing owners. you also notice the restaurant is more packed now. this is my new reoccurring spot in mississauga

Fav pho restaurant in Mississauga.
Eat from here at least once a week. If not, I get take-out which is usually a rice dish priced at 7$. Portion is huge. The usual for me is bbq pork chop and chicken.
The owner is very nice. My family and I are regulars so he always greets us with smiles and conversation. I don't remember how many times he's asked me how school is. Lol. He means well though.
The pho here is soo good. The broth is perfect as well as the meat. I hate onions in mine, so I always put "no green onions". They never accidently add them. The noodles are typical to other pho restos in sauga, thin. I prefer thicker noodles found d/t, but these ones are still good.
Definitely try the deep fried spring rolls. Another fav.
Shakes are good too. I LOVE the coconut one, as I believe they add coconut milk in it as well.
Comfort food at its finest. -

To be fair with Golden Turtle, I am a little surprise how the Pho taste on par with a lot of the other Pho joint places I have visit. Especially in Mississauga where there are not too many Pho joint.
The interior is nice and clean, The tables are not crowded together so you never feel like you are all cramped in even when the place is packed.
The raw beef and tripe Pho large ($6.50) was indeed has a nice broth. The use of star anise and hours of slimmering with beef bones resulted in a flavoured complex taste.
The disappointment is in the noodle. I guess is my personal preference of fresh noodle.. dried noodle never makes the grade! - 1 star
The services is nice and friendly. A nice friendly owned place.
I don't mind coming again when I am in the area and need a Pho fix!!
They accepts Mastercard and Visa.Listed in: Vietnamese Food in the GTA!, A Day in Mississauga!

I come here almost every week with a group of friends and we all universally love the pho here.
Portions are sufficient, the price is relatively low, and the service is quick and speedy. Everytime I go we are greeted and treated in a courteous manner. Even with picky friends with special orders, they get things right (no onions, no shredded pork, extra egg, etc etc).
Their rice dishes are a bit more pricey, but their pho is worth it. The broth is thick, fatty and tremendously flavoured. It's almost as if they kept every beef bone thrown into that pot and simmered until the marrow melted. They offer copious amounts of meat with the pho's and plenty of lime, basil and bean sprouts.
The meat that comes with the typical rice dishes is sometimes a bit small or charred, but their fried rice is pretty flavourful. Definitely would recommend for the pho alone.
