Pho Challenge — Restaurant in Toronto

April 9, 2024 update: this updated review was made to include photos from our recent Pho Challenge order. I continue to stand by my previous review. If you want really good, delicious Vietnamese food, please consider Pho Challenge!

Photos include the following food items: Grilled Beef on Rice - comes with a generous helping of sliced beef, rice, and vegetables. The beef is so savory and does come with a bit of a spicy kick. It's sweet, salty, has some heat, and really has a great umami flavour. Rice dish also comes with the Vietnamese Nuoc Cham sauce. Honestly, I've had grilled beef rice dishes elsewhere and this is still my favourite.

Grill Chicken on Rice - comes with generous amounts of grilled chicken, rice, and vegetables. Compared to the beef dish, I'd say this one isn't as spicy, savory as well and you get a really nice grill flavour. As always, this rice dish also comes with the Vietnamese Nuoc Cham sauce.

Chicken Udon Noodle - okay, now most people may not think of udon noodles when they think of Vietnamese food but I have to tell you, this chicken udon noodle is amazing. The chicken is so fresh, the broth is light but incredibly flavourful and has a great umami flavour. The added fried onions on top - amazing. For me, it's right up their with their classic pho dishes. This one is also a winner in my books.

Just ordered from The Pho Challenge today for delivery by directly calling in so I didn't have to pay for a 3rd party delivery fee. Ordered the chicken spring rolls and 3 rice dishes - super tasty with good sized portions. Service was great so a...

I recently visited Pho Challenge restaurant in Toronto and I was thoroughly impressed with the food. I ordered the Chicken Pho, which was absolutely delicious. The broth was flavorful and aromatic, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. The noodles were perfectly cooked as well, and there was a generous portion of fresh herbs and vegetables on the side.

I also tried the Chicken Vermicelli, which was equally tasty. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the vermicelli noodles were perfectly cooked. The dish came with a variety of fresh vegetables and herbs, as well as a savory sauce that tied everything together.

To top it off, I ordered the Mango Salad, which was a perfect complement to the other dishes. The mango was ripe and juicy, and the mix of herbs and vegetables provided a nice balance of flavors and textures.

Overall, I highly recommend Pho Challenge restaurant for their delicious food and excellent service. The portions were generous, the prices were reasonable, and the staff was friendly and attentive. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine, this is definitely a great place...

Ordered a pad Thai from this place was absolutely disgusting. I would not eat it if my life depended on it. Furthermore, I called the restaurant To complain respectfully, and was met with nothing but hostility from this nasty old woman who says she’s the owner named Jenny.. She called my phone back three times threatening me harassing me and did not want to try to make the situation better. I would never recommend this place to anybody. Not only is the food horrible but the customer service is a disgrace, and I’m sure their kitchen is even worse by the presentation of their food. I think somebody needs to call the health board on this place if anything and the owner definitely should not be in business with the kind of attitude she has on her. Zero out of five stars absolutely horrible. Do not go to this place unless you like food poisoning!!!...
