Review from Sara i.

Went there around 12:30, the rest of the reviewers are right when they say the place gets packed around lunch. Lucky for my boyfriend and I, we didn't have to wait long to be seated.
Service was a little bit slow, but within good time considering there was only 2 waitresses, and what seemed to be a male waiter in training.
He had the Red Curry Goat Pho, I sampled his broth and it tasted amazing. He still prefers the Yellow Curry Goat Pho from Kim Po, and I'd have to agree. (Something about sucking every little bit of goat meat from the bone makes it tastier.)
I had the Green Curry Seafood Pho. Only complaint, when I ordered mine I specified that I wanted Pho Noodle, and not the vermicelli that came with the order originally. Upon getting the pho, I noticed she had forgot to mention the pho noodle to the chef. The issue was quickly resolved, by them taking the pho back, pulling out the vermicelli and dropping in the pho noodle, watering down the broth a little bit but still amazing.
When paying she apologized for the mix-up and said it was her fault she had forgotten. Which was greatly appreciated. Most other places when you point out that they messed up an order, they scowl and grunt.
All and all I'd go back to Top Saigon and try something else on their menu. From what I could see others ordering, their plated dishes with rice looked appetizing. -

Found this place tucked away on the second floor, hole in the wall status? =D
Food service was good, with the staff giving the right amount of attention. I found that the food itself did not standout from other pho joints I've been to and in certain areas, their food was just on par.
if you are in the area the other two or three viet places are good options as well, nothing special about this place unfortunately. -

Encouraged by the nice decor, I was hoping the food would live up to the ambiance of the restaurant... boy was I wrong!
We had 3 dishes here, all of which were disappointing.
1) sugar cane shrimp: while this was hot, delicious and full of shrimp flavour, one order only came with 2 pieces, which were very small for the price. It's different from the other vietnamese places in that the shrimp was not mixed with anything else, hence the full flavour, but the portion was tiny for the price.
2) the pho: the broth did not have any beef flavour to it at all. Served luke-warm and without any basil/lemon/bean sprouts - we had to ask for it and when the plate came, there was only 1 small slice of lime and a few basil leaves. The noodles were ok, the beef was tender, but the broth was tasteless and didn't have any pho smell when you take a whiff of soup.
3) curry chicken with bread: the bread was not warm nor fresh. the curry was bland and powdery. I stopped eating after the 2nd bite.
Overpriced, poor service, small portions and flavourless food. Definitely would not come back again. -

Authentic food. Fast service. Value menu $5.99 - 7.99 . Decent for the price. Avoid the curry as my friends (asian) could not handle it!
The PHO IS THE ONE TO BEAT in Richmond Hill!
Located on 2nd floor. Free underground parking. Take the elevator and never have to wait for your food.
QUICK for lunch 15 minutes or less! -

This place and Kim Po, outside Times Square, would compete for the best pho place in Richmond Hill.
This place I like due to the more diverse options available, especially the different soup bases they have. Ask for the tomato soup base on your pho, and you shall not be disappointed. This place also wins in terms of service; more friendlier than Kim Po.
However, the noodles is where this place loses. There's not enough water content in the noodles I find, so it feels thicker and drier. So Kim Po beats it for that.Listed in: Gotta love the Pho!

The pho here is pretty amazing, probably the best in Richmond Hill. I've been here like 5 times and mostly order the rare beef with noodles but on my most recent visit i wasn't feeling too hungry so i ordered the pork cold salad rolls and they were so gross... It basically was the white thicker viet noodles and some brown power stuff rolled up in rice paper. I was expecting at least some sort of meat. i still have no clue what the brown powdery stuff was..
aside from that, i would come back again. i'm just going to still to ordering pho. -

Top Saigon Restaurant is on the 2nd floor inside Time Square.
They have lunch special from $5.95 that includes cold lime drink or tea/coffee. The specials are different every day, I have include that in my picture so you can pick which day have the food that you like.
Make sure to arrive before 11:45 AM.. yes this place was packed by the 12 PM!! They only have 2 waitresses so the service can be slow when is busy.
I really enjoy the food here, and I can't wait to come back and try other specials!
They just renovated the restaurant so everything is nice and clean.
BTW, they offer Free WiFi access too!!
They accepts Mastercard and Visa. -

This is the worst vietnamese food that I ever ate. Curry was bland. Pho was also bland. Did they just put beef broth and rice noodles together? The wait staff was really slow and unattentive. They never checked if the food was fine. The never came back with my credit card until I went to the register. The pho didn't come with bean sprouts until I asked for it? I'm never coming back to this place!

Nicely decorated place, tasty food, a-okay service, but I just wanted to point out a couple of things that stood out to me -
1) no peanut sauce to go with the spring roll (I asked and was told that they didn't have any)
2) the spring roll was fried up in a floaty crispy way and was pretty meaty rather than the vermicelli version I'm used to
3) the vermicelli noodles here are THICK! Definitely not the thinner sort that I'm used to and that carries the flavors of the fish sauce in a much tastier manner
I don't know if these differences were a restaurant specific thing or a Toronto thing, because this was the sole non-Chinese meal I had on our trip. -

I go here at least once a week. It's our default when we don't know where to eat, ad we only have a hour.
The Beef Satay Noodle is excellent and a must try. If you want Pho....I think it's number 93 thats the house special. Get it in Extra Large and it comes to like $9....and it's as big as a Family portion.
Excellent value. Don't go there if you're on a low carb diet...it's all carbs there.
