I really like this place. Whenever we have a cold winter day, I often dream of a nice warm bowl of phở to warm me up. I usually end up going for the spicy beef or chicken. If I’m in a laid back mood I also order the blood pudding because that is definitely one of my favorite things. The amazing thing sbout this place is the fact that the food is made to order. The bowls come out steaming hot and all the condiments you need such as soy sauce, sriracha and so on are readily available. The restaurant is hard to find if you don’t keep your eyes open but it’s a very nice place nonetheless.

Food was excellent. Service was good but we came closer to closing time. Overall I give it 4 stars.

My fiancé brought me here and while I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the quick service. I have always had a view of where I’m eating, based on their toilets. And so I finished eating, went to the bathroom and the toilet cubicle I went in was disgustingly dirty, dusty, and just unclean. I felt sick leaving. The way I see it is, if the bathrooms filthy, God only knows how my food was cooked! So overall wasn’t happy with this place :(the food was lovely but attention to detail on the cleaning wasn’t! Was really unfortunate

That was a severe blow to the Phở name. The service isn’t a D grade as mentioned earlier. It’s an E to an F. Sat down, took them 10 min in a not busy time to give us tea. When I called back to order, i was told rudely that we needed to write down our order then give. I didn’t want noodles in the beef /chicken soup just some extra veggies. The server flat out refused. Rudely. Still placed the order, plus for a shrimp mango salad, Vietnamese style spring roll with shrimp. Last order was shrimp stir fry on bamboo something. v62? Ambiance: Backyard restaurant. Nothing to write home about. Not unexpected. Food: my soup which was basically beef /Chx broth with protein and veggies was nice. Then again not much to cook there. The shrimp mango salad was 4 fried shrimps placed strategically at the angles of the pyramid mountain of sour mango. Pointless. The shrimp rolls were again terrible, not rolled tight and just lumps. The last order for the shrimp we got the wrong order.(Twice). They gave us Pork instead of shrimp and instead of remaking it just removed that part from the plate and added a tiny bit of shrimp to it. We could tell. The shrimp skewers on bamboo were even worse. We had a hard time figuring out what the order was. Most of the stuff was left on the table uneaten. Also did I mention the servers didn’t even bother coming to the table until we waved for a while. All in all one of the worst meals I’ve had in quite a long time and by far the worst phở places. Absolutely not recommended.

Slow service but awesome food! If you are very hungry go medium with the phở… I order small and I cannot finish it.

Phở Dau Bo has not failed us when ever we are in town. We’ve tried other places and this is One of the more authentic places to eat phở. Their Bun Bo Hue is not too shabby either. I have not tried other dishes here but I’m more of a noodle person. You can’t go wrong coming here.

This phở restaurant has great variety and is always a good idea for a cheap eat. The broth is okay, a bit saltier than other places that I have tried but clear. I usually order a bowl of phở or a rice dish. Dishes come out extremely quickly which makes me assume that they have a few things already pre-made as I have received chicken that was a tad dry. Their fresh rolls are made to order with fresh ingredients and include a fish sauce for dipping. The service is not attentive and a bit rushed but I wasn’t expecting anything different. This restaurant has other chains in the west end and is pretty consistent.

Used to be my go to place for Viet when I’m stuck in Brampton. However, in recent years, the quality and portions have definitively declined steeply and yet the prices increased. I still go back from time to time, but only when desperate. I would recommend the phở and other broth based dishes… Those are their fortes.

Hands down, the best authentic Phở spot ever. I used to go to Phở Dau Bo in Kitchener during my university days in Waterloo after a hangover… these guys have saved my ass there and now in Brampton. Rare beef and beef balls is my go to Phở dish, spring rolls are amazing. The customer service generally isn’t too great but the quality and authenticity is worth being a loyal customer. p.s I’m hungover, see you soon.

Food: A– Service: D Overall: B– If you can put up with poor service but fairly good food, this place is a good option. This place is probably one of the best Phở place in Brampton. This is probably a good place also for couples dinning but the service staff are unfriendly towards group accommodation. When a group of 15 of us walked in, the waitresses were immediately frowning and were very uncooperative.

Thank goodness I found a bowl of good hot phở on a nippy windy day. I was en route from Gore Meadows to Georgetown and needed a pit stop in the middle of my long drive. Located behind Rona’s, this location was busy during lunch hours. A lot of people came for their take-outs. It was a convenient location and Walmart and Fortinos are on the other side of Main Street(Hurontario). I ordered a cooked and rare beef phở. The beef was very very tender! The broth was flavourful, wasn’t oily at all and I didn’t feel thirsty afterwards. I ordered a medium and the portion was good. The only complaint was that they gave me my dripped coffee when I almost finished my phở. Had to wait for another 10 minutes for the coffee to finish dripping. I would definitely come back, either this location or the other two in Mississauga. Another perk is that gas on Bovaird is often much cheaper than gas stations elsewhere. «Fueled up» while you visit!

A seat yourself joint. Write down what you want on the ticket and hand it to the server. Pricing is super reasonable compared to the quantity of food you get. My only complaint is the brisket was a bit on the fatty side. I definitely would eat here again and again.

Went in for take out and when I got home I must have gotten someone else’s order. So I’m not sure how to review. I’m not quite certain what the dish was that I took home but it was tasty. There was meat that I believe was beef but it was a little sweet for my liking. Some salad and rice noodles also. The small container of sauce was very sweet and glad I tried it before dumping it on everything and wrecking it. I will try again but perhaps try eating there.

I come here so often that I think I deserve the staff to acknowledge my presence and say at least Hi and Thank You. But NO! Not only they ignore you every single time, you have to call them over to place your order. When the food comes, they just drop it quickly and leave without saying a word. I sometime wonder it they are all mute and deaf. We have to repetitively ask for water that we can’t never seem to get. The only reason I come here is because I like their Hu Tieu dish, but they have reduced the portion so much that I don’t think I should ever come back. Adiós!

We eat here quite often, at least once a week! Their food is always consistent which we appreciate as we eat just about everything on the menu. Service is fast and it’s great value for the cost.

Great place for phở and apps. Tried the deep fried crab claw, fried spring rolls and fresh rolls for apps. Rare beef phở, Clear noodle seafood, rice with grilled chicken or pork chop with fried egg. Portions are good and service is fast. Also their mango shakes are to die for. NOTE: If you do not spicy in sauces, make sure you say this when ordering for take-out. If you like certain toppings only in your phở that is not listed… just write Phở and the toppings you want.

As others indicated, the food is very tasty and economical. The phở is fantastic! The food preparation is quick. My only complaint is the place is dirty. All the table condiments have layer of grime on them.

Just finished playing volleyball for three hours. I has the Phở, of course! The broth is good and that is what is important. The hours of the place opened long enough, 12pm even for a weekday. It’s good!

This is my go to phở spot whenever I’m in the area visiting. Normally I have a hard time deciding between their house special phở and broken rice with porkchop since both are delicious. The staff here are very friendly which is a huge plus to me. Excellent prices, food and service! Don’t forget to try their durian smoothie! Soooo good

I eat here A LOT and I adore this place! The staff is great, the food is hot, fresh and delivered within ten minutes of ordering, now that’s service! This is easily the best phở I have ever had. I usually get the deep-fried crab and a taro bubble tea for sure, my dinner and lunch orders vary but I can say that I have tried almost everything on the menu! So really ordering anything would not be a bad decision! This place is becoming more popular now so almost daily the place is pretty busy but the food quality and service have not changed since I first started coming here seven years ago! They offer take out as well!
