Review from Jenn T.
12/26/2011 1 Check-in Here
I came here because we were on our way back to the hotel. Exhausted and ready to turn in, we decided to just try a pho place since its across the street from the hotel. Hmm...maybe not the best idea.
Our first red flag should have been that nobody was in the restaurant. We came in and sat down and I immediately noticed that this was not only a pho place, but that it also has Thai, Korean, and Chinese food...red flag #2! As we waited to order, it turns out that you have to write your order on a piece of paper and turn it in to get served...red flag #3!! Our pho bowls came out and the lady who served us said "fo"? Oh man this must be authentic if these Asian ppl are mispronouncing the word pho! :( red flag #4! Oh well...the pho was definitely not authentic but maybe Canada doesn't have good Vietnamese food? My bun was alright, salty and sorta bland. The pho was made of Chinese noodles and the broth was not tasty at all.
The service here was awful as well. Slow, not helpful and didn't really pay attention to us even thought we were like the only ppl in the place. The food did come out fast though. Definitely will avoid while I'm here! -

An advice for Pho on 7... Having a Groupon deal won't boost your business if you handle the coupon and your customers the way you did!!
Since my voucher is for dinner for 2 and includes a lot of food.. I know I would not utilize the value. but my waitress insist that no matter how much food I order, I would need to pay taxes and tips on the Full amount.. but why am I paying taxes on something I didn't even order?
I lost my temper/cool and finally one of the waitress had everything sorted out.. and I back to ordering...
We ordered
Mango Shrimp Salad ($7.97) - cold frozen cocktail shrimp? for $8?!!
Mango Salad ($6.97)
Vietnamese Rice Paper Roll ($4.27)
Satay Chicken skewers ($5.97)
Vietnamese Bean Curb ($5.27)
Large Pho ($7.97)
Vermicelli Combo ($7.97)
All tasted below average... Chinese version of Vietnamese food and a bad version...
Since we have some leftover credit on our Groupon, I was hoping to get some dessert.. They do have an interesting dessert menu but the waitress said they never have any of those ever, since no one ever really order them.... FAIL!
I won't be surprise to see Pho on 7 would be out of business soon if they don't improve on their quality of their food... and having Group Buy deals not going to help!!Listed in: Vietnamese Food in the GTA!

Agree with most of the bad reviews. I only have one word "TERRIBLE". I guess I finally found the worst pho in town.

Pho on 7 is a good place, its not that bad for pho, but its not the cheapest place either. Portion sizes are good, but I usually get the L which is pretty filling, but if you really want to get full, you will go for the XL. I've noticed though, that they give little meat, and give you more noodle/
Overall soup base is fine, at least you don't feel thirsty afterwards, and service is decent. Would go back but occasionally, as there are cheaper vietnamese restaurants. -

I've been to Pho on 7 3 times now.. two during soft opening, once afterwards.
I thought my 2nd time was going to be my last time. As M.W stated below, they were charging $8 for what they call an XL, but truly had the noodles of an L and the meat of a Small! But because they are so close to where I live, out of convenience/laziness and a hankering for pho, wifey and I went a third time.
This time I think they got it right.
I ordered an XL pho, and wife got the porkchop w/ rice.
Her's was nice and very flavourful, pork cooked just right.
Mine pho came out quickly and right away I can see that they've upped their portion size. There was a good amount of noodles (just shy of a Pho88 XL) and there was a good grip of meat (equal or more than Pho88 XL). The noodles are the thin kind, which I like, and their broth does seem to have less MSG and salt, but no less flavour.
Someone may have told them about their puny XL pho and I think they've since rectified that situation. I will go back. -
Review from M W.

Came for lunch on a whim after getting my nails done, at first glance it's a relatively clean place. It says soft open on the door and to expect slow service. Prices seem reasonable, 7.97 for an extra large bowl of noodles. 3.44 for spring rolls.
Then the food shows up. The amount of noodles in the XL is about the amount you'd expect in the large. Soup more than noodles. The soup was rather cool. The spring rolls are average, portioned to price. The lime soda has more sugar and soda than there is lime!
Not a repeat for me. -

Bad... pho is completely devoid of star anise. A really really bad canto imitation of pho. Closer to a clear beef broth soup. Iced coffee was weaker than mcdonalds. Like a quarter of the amount of ground coffee in a standard viet coffee. At least they have wifi for me to write this review.

Taste horrible! I live 5 mins away the restaurant. Tried it on a Friday evening at 6:15. I am the only customer with my friends. Clean and nice place but the noodle taste very bad and small size. Noodle taste no flavours at all and they are not fully cook (very hard), beef brisket is very hard. I don't understand why is so difficult to have some taste in the noodles, I expect to have MSG in restaurant. I am not a picky person, been to so many Pho place, never have a place taste so bad. All my friends feels the same and will never go back.
