My search for pho nirvana in the GTA has found a new winner in Vietnam Noodle Star. THIS IS IT! Thanks to Neil and Katrina for introducing this place to me, they really know their stuff. Mind you it's far in the burbs' where all the good ethnic food…More »

My own personal phology continues with a recent addition to the list....

Pho Tien Thanh is located on the tail end of Ossington and is another cheap and cheerful Pho joint. As with Melissa J., I also think that Tien Thanh serves a better bowl of Pho…More »

My epic quest for the Toronto's best pho noodle house has landed me in another spot... somewhat off the beaten track from east or west chinatown. Pho Linh is a small vietnamese restaurant located at College and Dufferin; a little cluster of…More »

I usually like to avoid the long lineups and chaos at Pho Hung and head over to Pho Pasteur for my pho cravings.

Somewhat more pricey than the other pho joints on the spadina-chinatown strip but I find it's worth it because the 1) the place is open…More »

1208 Bloor St W

Pho My Duyen is far for me but it was worth the trek: the pho here is pho-nomenal. The broth has a definite star anise overtone to it and it's hot, soothing and rich and comes dressed with slivers of green and red onion. Beef slices are thin, tender…More »

Good tasting broth and speedy service. Might be a little too speedy as they work with lineups and turnover during peak times. I like their deep fried spring rolls too here. What's good about the Pho here? Huge portion sizes, thinly sliced beef and…More »

Pho Hung is a great starter place for anybody getting into the delightful dish known as Pho. It's clean, well lit inside and the menu offers an assortment of vietnamese dishes from Bun, Pho, Broken rice and they are well known in some circles for the…More »

Neighbourhood: Riverdale

Ahhh Que Ling! Literally a hole in the wall though and kinda smelly inside, perhaps not for squeamish diners. It would definitely fit the bill for a "pho" shack! However they reportedly serve up one of the city's finer phos. I did not find it to be…More »
