This resto appears to be run by a few Korean ladies, but they seem to know how to make pho better than many pho places. Instead of the usual MSG laden salt water they call broth found at most pho places these days, the broth here is full of flavour and tastes like it was made with REAL ingredients. The noodles are fresh, springy and perfectly cooked everytime. The only comparable pho I've had in the city is Pho Hung. The dolsot bibimbap here was also great. Fresh ingredients, rice nice and crispy, sauce was super tasty.
The vietnamese rice however was lacking as the meat portions were small and low-grade and the vinegar/fish sauce that came with it was not that great. Have yet to try their Thai offerings, but will be back often for the yummy pho -

went to Pho Spring Garden with friend who loves its Pad Thai and thought its a Thai restaurant. but the place services Thai, Korean and Vietnamese food which was a bit confusing first..
The place is pretty clean with fairly modern decor. i had the tofu soup which was ok. the broth is not as flavourful as i expected. my friends had Pad Thai and a Pho noddle soup. they both loved their food. will probably try the Pad Thai next time.
overall a nice place to go to when everyone wants different things. -

I really love this place for my fix of Pho and other Vietnamese cuisine. A small establishment with plenty of booth seating, the food is very good. I always order the fresh Spring rolls and small Pho and that will fill me up in any time. I also love their Iced Vietnamese Coffee which is almost like an Ice Cap from Tim Hortons. Prices are very reasonable and they also have Korean and Thai cuisine in the mix.
I have been here for work day lunches and it can get pretty busy, but on off times, it's a nice, quiet place to eat. Service is efficient. A great local gemListed in: If you're ever in the area...

The pho broth here is 100% better than any of the other places in North York, but they don't do pho with fresh noodles (which is how I like it myself).
But the broth......YUM!
I can also say it's probably the cleanest, and nicest pho restaurant around the area, it's not as noisy as Vietnamese Delight, and its a much nicer dining experience than Pho88.
If it's a date, and you both want Pho, come here! -

((note: this review was from about a year ago, and I think when it first opened. I just transfered it over from my blog))
Just a random drop in for dinner. We were looking for Pho, and passed by this one on Spring Garden. It's wierd because it's called Spring Garden Pho on parts of the menu, then Korean and Thai on other parts.
They have a nice clean, modern decor. Korean dishes, and pad thais on the menu, and Pho and Buns.
We ordered a spicy seafood noodles. It was SO spicy!
I ordered a Stone Bowl Bim BimBap ($8.95). The quiet waitress had a hard time understanding that I wanted the bottom of the rice crispy. I've been to a place before that told me if I don't ask that, then they don't make an attempt to do it. But at the same time the bowl is so hot and sizzling, I wonder if it's just a matter of me leaving it alone for longer before I start stirring at it.
My meal also came with a Miso soup, and 3 small kimchis and bean sprouts.
I was SO full from brunch earlier, but the rice was a perfect crispy at the bottom, and it wasn't a huge portion, but I ate it slowly. -

This place rocks! We live across the street, and we are so happy that this is our go-to place when we are too lazy to cook. The service is always friendly and fast, the prices reasonable, and the food delicious.
I was weary at first given the menu choices come from Thailand, Vietnam, Korea, and Japan. I find such a lack of focus often means nothing is done right. However, my partner and I go there often - I get Korean and he gets Vietnamese Pho, and both are great!
I love the dolsot bibimbap - I think it is the best in the neighbourhood (and we have a LOT of bibimbap around this area). The pho is also great, and the spring rolls and salad rolls too.
I once ventured to try a chicken curry, and I was less impressed. The quality of the chicken was pretty low - I had a few bone fragments in my dish. -

Pho Spring Garden is a tidy little pho joint off the Yonge and Sheppard strip. The restaurant is clean and bright. The menu is a little confusing with so many options. I stop to the pho with beef or with chicken. Their broth is tremendous, and smells almost perfumey. It's really irresistible. The beef in the beef pho is good but not great. The hot sauce matches perfectly to the meat. For about $8 you get a medium bowl of chicken or beef pho and won't leave unhappy.
