Pho Dau Bo Restaurant — Restaurant in Toronto

Craving Pho as always and was nearby this area, so decided to give this place a try.

Came here on a Tuesday around 6pm and the place had a few people dining in. This place is fairly big and can sit a lot of customers, so I wonder if they get extremely busy during rush hours. If they do, I'm sure they can manage given the space. So no worries if you're with a big group.

For the service, it was pretty quick. Got seated right away and the menu is already on the table along with the paper where you write down your order. The food came pretty quick as well. Again, would like to mention it wasn't busy so service level may change when you visit at a busier time.

Now for the food... This one is a bit different. I was expecting to try their Pho Dac Biet, but issue is, I didn't see it on the menu. You can choose your Meat combination. This is actually neat since it keeps the menu minimalistic. The "Pho Dac Biet" I ordered is generous with the topping. Broth is good and not too salty like other places. The Spring Roll is crispy but thin. For the seafood dish, it tasted like Wonton Soup.

Overall, can't go wrong with this place to get your Vietnamese cuisine...

This is one of the first location for this chain of pho restaurants near Finch and Weston, they've been around the neighborhood for many years now and probably one of the widely known pho restaurants in this area. There is plenty of parking in the strip plaza and a few other restaurants but never out of spots when I come.

This place is usually fairly busy but the wait is usually fast because the order goes in and comes out like the flash. Everyone just comes and goes as fast as the food. I don't mind it at all because this is not a fancy restaurant that needs time to prep or fine dining atmosphere, it's almost like fast food but not.

Piping hot noodle soup full of MSG what more can you ask for. I always just get the special #342 thinly sliced beef, tripe, beef balls a little bit of everything. Sometimes we like to order some fresh rolls like today, we got the shrimp fresh rolls and pork fresh rolls. The pork fresh rolls are made with some rice noodles, shredded pork skin, basil, bean sprouts all wrapped in a rice paper roll.

Best time to have it is when it's colder weather, rainy days, best hang over cure for me actually and most...

We have been to this restaurant for long. However tonight would be our last visit. Perhaps they might change management or Chef!? The menu has changed from a booklet to 2 pages. No more house special pho but separated into different kinds of meat. Not many choices as before COVID-19 pandemic. The grilled chicken was burnt and we were so thirsty after drinking the pho soup. I made mistakes entering the tips when using my credit card. As soon as the cashier saw the amount, she gave me attitudes and questioned me why I gave them so little tips. I did apologize and give them back cash instead. She didn't thank me at all. To be frank, tips are complimentary but not necessary especially when poor quality of service and food are served. Sadly this restaurant has changed a lot. With this amount of money, it is not worth. I won't...
