Pho Nho

Small restaurant but plenty of seats. The service here is quick. The phở portion as are fairly large — only one size, taste great. They accept Cash only, however they do have an ATM in the entrance way.
The ambience is nice. Good music playing that not overwhelmingly loud. Phở Nho has wifi as well.

My friends and I come here quite often bc it’s more of a vietnamese bar and restaurant. In the summer time, they got a patio and we drink and eat mon nhau aka vietnamese dishes that you eat when you drink. Not too many vietnamese restaurants offer mon nhau in the city. They have beers on draft, mixed drinks, and sangria. We always orders the nuoc mam (fish sauce) chicken wings, and their goi and the usual phở, or bun bo hue, and rice dishes.
It’s a mixed crowd. The décor is dated but we’re only concerned about the food. If theyre busy — food takes a really long time to come out. And it’s cash only — but they have an ATM. They do have TVs inside and you can catch the game. We always come here if we feel like eating viet and drinking LOL. The exterior definitely looks a bit sketchy — but it’s good food.

this place is not concerned with modern décor… they ARE however concerned with how their chicken noodle soup tastes! It always makes me feel better!

Here are my recommendations for this business
1) get a credit card machine
2) don’t put lemon grass in your pad Thai
3) make sure to not make your to go order customers wait an hour
4) make sure the shrimp in your fresh rolls are FRESH so it doesn’t taste weird
5) wipe down your tables with a clean cloth so they do not remain sticky
6) give more napkins than the measly 3 pieces of your cheap 1 ply
7) thank you for at least being friendly
8) take items off your menu that you no longer have
9) don’t skimp on your noodle portions on to go orders. SMH
10) GET A CREDIT CARD MACHINE

Pretty good Phở, nice broth and medium size. Fresh rolls were okay, a bit too much of veggie filler, could have used more protein. Boyfriend liked the sauce so much he was dipping his finger and licking it lol.
I grabbed the Grilled Pork Vermicelli with Spring Roll. OMG the way the spring roll was fried, nice and crunchy and tasted awesome. Plus the fish sauce with chili flakes, yum!
Open late so might have to come back. Atmosphere seems pretty chill, but wasn’t busy when we came (Labour Day Monday). Overall, good Phở place.

It’s a really nice place, the phở is good, is not amazing, only one size but is a big bowl. The waiters are very attentive.

Went here because my go-​to phở place was closed and I was really craving it (go-​to phở place is phở my duyen at Bloor & Lansdowne)
Good phở. My boyfriend had the beef phở, it was good, hearty phở as one would want and expect.
Amazing hot & sour soup. Been eating hot & sour for as long as I can remember, and this was GREAT. Perfect acidity, spice, and sweetness, and I had it with shrimp too, which was also cooked very well and so flavourful.
Very mediocre veggie platter. One might wonder how a veggie platter could be so mediocre, but it wasn’t the veggies. It was the way over cooked, mushy, thick glass noodles that were literally a LUMP that was stuck together beneath the veggies. So flavourless.
I’d go back, but know not to get those glass noodles again.

Phở Nho you didn’t!
I don’t see what there is to complain about this place. Nestled conveniently on the 505 & 506 trolley line, this place is everything you could ask for in your friendly neighborhood Phở establishment. There’s ample seating in the winter, not to mention 2 side patios & garage door style patio in the front! Enjoy the Ronces stroller & Bernese mountain dog watching with the sun on your face and wind at your back! The vermicelli was great, phở game was tight, and they do a mean coconut shake if the $ 3.55 beer selection isn’t your thing. They also boast a big screen TV and play the Raptors games w/​commentary, something the «sports bar» across the street doesn’t do!
Service has always been friendly and attentive. And if you can’t refer to the photos of the menu items (because reading is hard), they are happy to answer any questions. Ok full disclosure, there is a server there who is super babely. Don’t tell her I said that though. You’ll just make it weird… typical you…

Let’s rename it to «Oh Phở NO.»
Wound up there late after a trying day trip to Toronto, based on the Unilocal reviews and the fact that it was close to the 24 hour auto shop where we needed to have a tire unexpectedly changed. So we arrived late-​ish (around 8:30pm) and hadn’t eaten all day. We had two young children with us who were very tired and hungry. It didn’t appear to be particularly crowded.
As soon as we sat down, I told our server we wanted to put in an appetizer order right away while we decided what to order. She took the appetizer order … then left it on the table. We didn’t receive the appetizers until well after we gave our full order. She gave us all tea, then asked if the children wanted water. They agreed. She never brought the water during the 1.5 hours we were there.
We ordered two noodle dishes for the adults, and two bahn mi for the kids. After we’d already waited a half hour, a server came over to say they only had ONE bahn mi left, so which one did we want. I’m not even sure what that meant. They only had one piece of bread left? We ordered a pork bahn mi and decided rather than trying to order something else, my other daughter would just share my dish.
After an hour of waiting, it was well past ten, our two noodle dishes arrived, and no bahn mi at all. I thought maybe they were running behind, so we waited a little longer, then I flagged down a server to ask where my daughter’s meal was. She came back to inform us that it had been BURNED. Did we want to order something else? They would prepare it fast. Seriously? I said no, I wanted the check immediately. I had to ask three more times for the check, one of my children was in tears from hunger and disappointment, then discovered they only take cash. The only cash machine on the premises didn’t take any of my cards — not Visa, not Mastercard, debit, credit, nothing — fortunately we had enough cash between us to scrape up for the bill. Then we had to stop at McDonald’s on the way home.
Thanks «phở» nothing.

Ok i love this place because of the family feel and that everyone here is friendly and when your serve smiles you know she means it. I love that the family owned and the food is like mama was in the kitchen cooking just for you. When you taste the food you can tell its cooked with love. So next time you come over say hi to q

Came here a couple times during the time I worked in the area. The space is pretty huge so it’s great for large groups. The food comes very very slow though. The quality is up to par of other phở places, though the wait is definitely not worth it. Call ahead if you really want to get something here.

Frequently go here for a few different dishes but started with the phở. It was super good and the service is always lovely so upon returning decided to switch things up.
The phở is excellent. The fresh rolls and spring rolls are tasty. Have had the pad thai which is a lil spicy which I love. You may not :) the beef and noodles are reaaallly delicious. Lotsa veggies and flavor. Cheap beer too!

I was looking forward to visiting this
place based on the great Unilocal reviews; but I was disappointed all around.
Some might consider the dark appearance of the interior to be «warm», but with the basic décor, I just found it gloomy. The constant nuisance of a housefly did not help the ambience.
More importantly, the food was thoroughly average. Spring rolls, vermicelli, fried rice, phở: I’ve had much better at other restaurants, for cheaper. ($ 10 for fried rice, really?)
The worst part was probably the wait. The phở only took about 15 minutes to arrive, but there’s no excuse for the 35 minutes it took for the other dishes, especially as it was not even remotely busy.
Not worth a return visit.

Food with care and love, expect a bit of wait but well worth it. Large menu, unique and authentic dishes I have not found else where in TO.
Variety of selection from phở, frog leg, papaya salads, broken rice, sesame chips, tender BBQ meat etc. Service is friendly and attentive. Décor is like a local dive bar but I frequent here often because the food is just that good.

This is the best Phở restaurant I’ve been too in the past 12 years. The waitresses all spoke very good english and are super friendly.
The prices are normal prices you’d expect to pay in the GTA for Phở. I’ve eaten the The vermicelli and rare beef phở numerous times and I’d recommend both of them. Delicious!

Pumped up ’cause the English speaking waitress actually said, «Do you have any questions for me??» I was pretty impressed by that as I usually don’t expect much in terms of service at Vietnamese/​Chinese/​other ethnic restaurants that aren’t all that $$$!
Waitress was quite peppy.
I ordered the Mixed Beef Phở (rare & well done), one size, $ 7. Size of bowl was probably closer to a medium, definitely not the same size as a small $ 5 – 6 bowl. Looking through the menu, other things seems a bit more expensive, re: $ 3.85 for a Viet Coffee, $ 3.85 fruit milkshakes, just under $ 5 for a sandwich, etc. HOWEVER, I didn’t see the size portion of any of these items.
Atmosphere was more café/​neighbourhood bar!

Love Phở Nho! Two wonderful servers there who don’t take no sass! I actually enjoy the environment it’s kinda nice and reminds me of the restaurant that my family had.
I had the Bun Cha and it was fantastic and took care of my viet food craving.
Don’t expect some top notch gourmet food! But expect a pleasant, good food, affordable experience.

Came here for a late snack on Sunday. I had the Phở Hue Style (spicy style) and my girlfriend had the Rare Beef Phở. We started with the Vietnamese rolls with shrimp. Was decent but I’ve had better at the Golden Turtle and other Vietnamese places I have reviewed
Didn’t seem like they made the Hue Broth from scratch but rather just added hot sauce to their beef broth. Also on the menu, they said they offered various Vietnamese sandwiches, but only have one.

Yum! I’ve spent 6 weeks in Vietnam and loved the food. This place is the real deal; very authentic. Good quality. Extensive menu. Two thumbs up.

I’ve been meaning to review this place for a while.
My boyfriend and I have been coming here since we discovered this cozy little joint 2 years ago. It is dark and cozy with table lit candles and a few big flat screen TV’s. The atmosphere is dark but unassuming and pleasant. The music playlist is on the greatest random hits of life. From 70, 80 and 90’s classics to dance music, to top 40’s, and I think they recently got satellite radio, which adds to ‘the greatest random playlist of all time’.
The restaurant seems run by only women, from the sweet Vietnamese lady cook who makes all your meals one by one, to the quick and cheerful bar/​restaurant manager who is so friendly and chatty with all of her customers (old and new) to the lady waitresses who take your order. Every single time we have been here (and we come here about once a week) and no matter what time it has been, we have been greeted and welcomed by the group of same staff, they work hard and long hours. The only staff I have seen change (for better or for worse) are the waitresses. I wont dispute that the (current) waitresses could be better — mostly because we got used to this waitress who was amazing and then we stopped seeing her there, so everyone else they hire we compare to her excellent service.
Onto the food, their menu is HUGE. I mean, super huge. It’s a bit all over the place, but I mean they cater to basically everyone, vegetarians, meat lovers, seafood lovers, smoothie lovers, beer lovers, sandwich lovers, PHO lovers, noodle and rice bowl lovers, vermicelli dish lovers, fresh/​fried roll lovers… HUGE I TELL YOU. So if you come here, you better have some idea of what you want to eat, otherwise you will find yourself perusing through all the pictures of all the delicious food they have and the different variations of dishes. We were won over by the rare beef Phở — I mean I’ve tried some other kinds they have on their menu with meatballs, etc but this is a classic staple, GET THE RARE BEEF PHO. The serving is plentiful, the meat is fresh and cut carefully (I have never gotten a piece with fatty stuff), the noodles are perfectly cooked, and the mint and lime and bean sprouts on the side they serve are always fresh and clean.
Other huge favourites are the fresh roll (filled with shrimp, rice noodles, lettuce, carrot shavings) and served with a spicy peanut sauce, which give it that extra kick. Also try the grilled pork vermicelli with spring rolls — you will not be disappointed, the serving is generous and the dish feels both filling and fresh all at once.
A couple of side notes:
–Cash only (they have an ATM there, but you may as well save yourself the atm fee)
–Magic rare beef Phở (+hot sauce) = cures your cold
–Closed on Tuesdays.
–Open til 2 AM, Friday and Saturday, open til 12 midnight every other day.
To all the people complaining about trivial things like the «service» when you are paying 6 dollars for phở, or your total bill for you and your friend is under 25 bucks, please quit your whining and go back to paying 16 dollars for a salad bowl at Fresh and your presumptuous server over-​explaining the origin of your tofu. Bleh.
They have a small spot, they have one elder woman cooking and they have plenty of customers. Give these hard working women a break every now and then and recognize the food is consistently good, and sometimes you get served quick other times you don’t — so be prepared to take your time to eat, or let the server know ahead of time that you want your bill as soon as she brings your plate — PROBLEM SOLVED.
