I am from US, living in the Little Saigon, biggest Vietnam community in the world
I have to give this restaurant a great great comment. It is more than what I expect for a Vietnamese restaurant.
Such a great experience to Toronto On my way visiting a client in Guelph, feeling starving Vietnamese food, search google and seeing this place.
The place was small, but I felt cozy when there are many customers and non Vietnamese eating my favorite bowl of noodles.
The young girl working there welcomed my wife and I with great smile and she is very helpful and honest to tell us which is good in here.
The beef noodle soup base taste so good. Let me tell you that it is better than many authentic Vietnamese restaurants in Orange county in the US where there are biggest Vietnam community.
My wife ate the dish called "Bo Ne", it is steaks, eggs, pate and meat ball on a hot plates, dipped with French Baguette Made me remember my childhood back then in Vietnam
My wife and I was so full, the portions was bigger than some restaurant in the US, and the price was so reasonable, if I don't want to say it is very cheap.
The older ladies who was cashier, whom I think she is the owner, always say THANK YOU to every groups escaping the restaurant. She also tells us about the market, the labor the education system in her city Guelph. Such a knowledgeable restaurant people I have ever seen.
10 stars If I can give more than 5.
Definitely this is the place I will come back one more time before I...
Read moreI came here due to a recommendation from a relative and I ordered Bun bo Hue which was delicious. The soup is very flavoured and the meat is so soft and tasty. The restaurant is like a family run business so you feel like you’re enjoying your food at home. There is not much decoration but I care about the food more. Since I moved to Guelph, I have tried a couple of Viet restaurant and I rated Pho Saigon is the best for Bun bo Hue (for sure). This comparison is based on many factors: price, authentic flavour and portion. I do compare between 3 Viet restaurants in the area (I won’t mention the name). I ordered a small bowl of noodles and it totally filled me up. They did not give me too much soup since the customers never/barely finish it anyways, & the soup is just perfect for me. I don’t have the feeling that I wasted it. The price is just the greatest, $9 for a small bowl (but it fills you up more than just a small size) What are you asking for? Comparing to another restaurant, the flavour is very good as well but it is more expensive and even it looks bigger but actually I think they give you more soup than the meat or noodles, & if I rated it 9.5. I’d rate Pho Saigon 10!!! I will return for other dishes! I’m...
Read moreOur second time back here this past Tuesday night as we are from out of town. Prices here are fantastic. It's cheaper than all our Windsor or London favorites. Food is excellent quality and good portions. We had a tasty beef fried rice, a pork and chicken with rice that had a nice savory taste and a bowl of yummy pho with beef brisket. The regular size pho is other restaurants' large size. Nuts to the reviewer who said he wasn't full after a large. I can't even imagine unless he's 250lb. The pork spring rolls here are some of my favorites anywhere. It's a little pricy at $3 for only two. They are bigger versions, though, than other restaurants' snack size ones. They are handmade daily, dark brown without being oily. Crunchy and made with Taro inside, which is a rarity. Dipping sauce is spot on. The restaurant is a little Mom and Pop style where food is more important than decor. No hesitation in recommending this little off the beaten path gem. Only one miss was that my extra egg ordered was not runny in order to mix through my remaining rice. We will be back when visiting in the...
