    My friend ordered rare beef and beef ball Pho soup. He said it was excellent. I ordered vermicelli with stir fried chicken and lemongrass stir fried beef. The chicken wasn't bad and the beef was incredibly delicious. Side veggies the dish came with were fresh and tasty especially enjoyed the mint leaves. Will definitely be going back.

    As of writing this review they’ve now allowed indoor dining during the COVID-19 pandemic. I’ve been coming to pho dau bo for years and they’ve now renovated the interior. Everything looks clean, the food is still great, and all tables and chairs are distanced accordingly. I’m kinda sad about the limited menu, the dish I usually order banh cuon isn’t on the menu right now, but I hope in the future they add it back again.

    Ordered via Uber. Well packaged and quick service. A container of pho broth is only $4 - got one to make a couple bowls of pho Bo vien the next day. Bun Bo hue broth is good but not the best in the area.

    First time here. I think this place is a chain Vietnamese restaurant. Pretty basic in tes of broth flavoring and service wasn't anything to write home about. Overall I would probably still return if I was in the area and wanted some Vietnamese food. I think I would still recommend this place to those who like Vietnamese food and are nearby.

    The best pho I have had in toronto/gta. Broth is amazing, good portion size, well priced, and ready in a few minutes. Have been here probably more than 50 times, never had a bad experience. Also their avocado milkshakes are amazing. Order one a few minutes before you leave so it'll be ready and you can take it to go.

    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 cravings satisfied.

    It seems a pretty old place, but in fact the restaurant was so clean and ordered. The food was actually so good, full of flavour and fresh! Really recommend this place if you like pho. The only thing that I can say is, it might be a good idea to upgrade they menu a bit. Some appetizers like shrimp tempura or things like that, which you can find in other Vietnamese restaurants, were missing. But again the food quality was so good also with a very decent price.

    One of the original locations of this famous GTA chain, and it’s still got it. Broth is great, even the vegetarian pho here is decent compared to other restaurants. The portions have definitely got smaller, but what to do.

    I’ve been here multiple times in the past few weeks, and I can safely say this place is good! The staff are friendly. Pricing is fair. Both Pho and Vermicelli are great. And no complaints so far. I would recommend this place.

    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 of my friends.

    Just ordered Grilled Pork Vermicelli (BUN dish) with spring roll from Uber. Wow I am impressed. They have the best price for this dish. Everyone charging $17!!! Here's it's $15.50 and it did not disappoint. Very fresh and delicious. OK amount of noodle but tonnes of veggie and MEAT! Loved this dish and the price. I will order here at least 2 times a week. Thank you Pho Dau Bo for not making your price crazy and your food so good

    I used to go to this place all the time before the pandemic, but since then it’s really changed. As the prices for all their items went up with less options and quantity, their quality also went down. I ordered a grilled pork chop and chicken with rice, but the chicken and the pork were completely black/burnt. The food was also heavily oily and it made me sick for a couple days. I gave it an extra star because nothing beats their spring rolls, but other than that the quality has gotten a lot worse.

    This review is very belated, my apologies. I came here with friends after a lavender field outing in July on the way back into the city to replenish our strength. The pho here was tasty from what I remember. I liked it!

    One of the best pho place I like Prices are super n portion is great Of cause taste is good 👍🏻 Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Macey 1 year ago on Google
    Favourite pho place, hands down. The staff are super friendly and the service is always quick. I've been coming to this location for over 15 years and I've never been disappointed with the quality and the service here. The finch construction traffic makes it a challenge to access, but definitely worth the travel time. I always get the standard pho bowl but they've updated their menu for more flexible options. If you're ever in the area, do yourself a favour and stop by.

    I have been a customer of Pho Dau Bo for almost 10 years, this was my favorite Pho restaurant within GTA. I noticed the quality of food to not be the same, meat added to my noodles seems freezer burned and super dry, vegetable rolls also the same. Super disappointed cause I went back two/three times and quality still the same. Super disappointed. Hopefully they will return to better food and less depending on frozen items- I can really notice a difference.

    Ordered my usual on Ubereats, 1 rice with pork/chicken, 2 large phos and 2 avacado milkshake. Delicious and fresh every single time.

    Pho dau bo (pho ox head) is a wonderful local restaurant. Very authentic Vietnamese food. The pho bowl was very delicious. You get to choose your own meat toppings! The bowl was very flavourful and full of aromatics. Each spoonful of soup provided a blast of Unami that covers your taste palate in deliciousness while making you want to get another spoonful. The portions are very generous for noodles. The meat is all tender and delicious. Highly recommend this place for pho!

    Great viet spot in the city. fresh ingredients and good cuts of meat equals a flavorful bowl of Pho. Be sure to check it out if you are in the area

    Pho Dau Bo Restaurant Do I Recommend? Only if you live around the area, and if you are looking to pay less for a meal. How is the service? the service is but below average, when we were there they mistakes with our order, wasn’t big enough mistake that we bothered correcting them, but it did decrease the dining experience, because the ingredients we wanted were missing. Otherwise nothing special. How is the food? the food was not as great as I remembered, but maybe the covid-19 impacted their food quality. However, it was still decent enough to enjoy. The price is lower than typical Vietnamese restaurant you’d go to so that is a bonus.
