Pho VietStar — Restaurant in Aurora

I would give this place zero star if I could. Sincerely, I was so disappointed!

I have tried PHỞ in Canada for almost 10 years now, and this by far has been the worst Phở ever. The broth tasted completely wrong. There was too little beef for the price. Not enough beans sprout and no basils at all. Overall, bad Phở.

We also ordered Rice with Korean grilled beef. The beef was so dry. AND the worst thing was that they served us burnt rice from the bottom of the cooker 😩 seriously, which restaurant would do that? If you want to serve your customers rice from the bottom of the cooker (which you really shouldn’t), at least put in some effort to break the rice so it doesn’t look like that. But no, they literally served us bottom-shaped burnt rice. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I was speechless. I don’t even eat such rice at home. And I had to pay money to eat that. $18! Which again was totally overpriced for such poor quality food 😩

I am not here to bring any business down. But as a Vietnamese, I am so ashamed to know that such Vietnamese foods are being served out there. I am speaking this to the OWNER(S) specifically. Please, check on your recipes/ staff. Do not serve such foods to customers. I don’t know if you are Vietnamese or not, but if you are, please take pride in your national cuisine and make sure the foods come out with some pride in them. I brought a non-Vietnamese friend today to show him the famous Vietnamese Phở, and it was a total disaster. I almost cried. I was so ashamed, and I had to reassure him many times that real Vietnamese Phở does NOT taste like that! I don’t know if I came on a bad day, and that the foods are usually not that bad. Maybe it was just my bad luck. Anyway, it’s worth spending some time to check on the food quality. I truly hope this will...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pho VietStar, a charming Vietnamese restaurant, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. I opted for the Special Noodle Soup, priced at a reasonable 16 CAD, and it left me thoroughly impressed.

First and foremost, the food was amazing. The Special Noodle Soup was a symphony of flavors, with rich, aromatic broth, tender slices of beef, and a medley of fresh herbs and spices. Each spoonful was a burst of deliciousness, and it instantly transported me to the streets of Vietnam. The portion size was generous, ensuring I left with a satisfied appetite.

What truly set Pho VietStar apart was the staff. They were exceptionally friendly and courteous throughout my visit. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and valued as a customer. They were happy to answer any questions I had about the menu, and their genuine smiles added to the overall warm atmosphere of the restaurant.

Speaking of atmosphere, Pho VietStar knows how to create a comfortable and peaceful dining environment. The décor was tasteful, with traditional Vietnamese elements, and soft lighting that created a cozy ambiance. It was the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing meal, whether you were dining alone or with friends and family.

In conclusion, my visit to Pho VietStar was a memorable one. The Special Noodle Soup was a culinary delight, the staff were incredibly friendly, and the peaceful atmosphere made for a wonderful dining experience. I'll definitely be returning to savor more of their delicious Vietnamese cuisine. If you're a fan of Vietnamese food, or even if you're new to it, I highly recommend giving Pho VietStar a try. You won't be...

Been wanting to try Pho VietStar for a while. Upon arrival I saw CrepeStar and was a little confused and then saw the Pho sign a little bit closer when I walked by. Initially, I guess I was just a little confused on what the main products they were selling as I saw ice cream, crepes, pho, board games, party bookings, etc.

I ordered the pho special and it just wasn't what I expected, not that that is a bad thing but the noodles were not the same as the ones I've seen in other google reviews. The pho had flavor and tasted pretty good, but portions were small, not much beef and a little too many basil leaves which I wish they could've gave me on the side which other pho restaurants do. It was an ok bowl of pho, but doesn't stand out compared to other pho spots in the York Region.

I was just moreso confused by the variety of selling points and wasn't sure what dishes or products they specialized in as I was thinking this was a traditional pho spot. Overall, experience was a tad dissapointing, pho was ok, portions and protein was small but there are too many other good pho spots to compete with in the region. My recommendation would be to consider just having CrepeStar as the main brand/selling item with pho as a sidekick option for...
