Viet House

Good food ! Fast service ! I will come back for sure. Beef and brócolis was tasteful !

The wife and I had the COSTCO hotdog and poutine for lunch…(that’s another review) anyway, we needed something light to end the day. Why not some PHO? It’s near our place and we finally took the time to try this place. Don’t be fooled because it’s in a business plaza. The interior has a modern look and comfortable.
The food is fresh! We only had the rare beef phở and chicken fried rice but if you are able to do the simple things right on the menu, I’m sure the rest of the menu is good as well! I recommend this place if you are in the area!!!

Clean, friendly staff and good food.
Giving three stars because I wasn’t particularly blown away with the noodle soup broth as it was a little bit oily, and not flavourful like I’m used to. Portion sizes and prices are also smaller, and more expensive compared to your typical mom and pop phở place.
One thing that I really liked about this place was the customizable dishes. So instead of searching through your typical lengthy menu of different soup combinations, their menu actually allows you to choose the types of meats you want.
This is definitely a classier version of a phở place, but with that you lose some of its authenticity.
Good but won’t be coming here again unless I’m close by.

I have been coming to Viet House since they opened its doors a few years ago, when they had their «grand opening 10% off.» This restaurant has a high level of consistency and food quality has been pretty good!
The Summer Roll and Spring Roll dishes are great as appetizers.
The phở and the rice dishes are also delicious.
Washroom rating: ²⁄₁₀

I’m surprised that there is a good place like this and never heard of it before till my friend found it. I had «Hu tieu My Tho» for the dinner. The dish itself is pretty authentic — said by a Vietnamese, lol. They used clear noodle but not small vermicelli as usual which makes the dish more chewy with full flavor. The sauce is made from garlic oil plus soy sauce, little vinegar and sugar. Main meat from the dish is seafood.
My friend had 2 choices of meat noodle. That’s their special for the night, I think. He picked chicken with beef stir-​fried with green and red bell pepper, onion with some dry crush peanut on the top. «So tasty!» that’s all he said when he tried first piece and then just focused on the food.
The place has A/​C, fancy look with nice and friendly servers. They are really helpful. Not like other vietnamese food place, they kept checking up on customers if they need something and filling the water — Which I rarely see anyplace does that. I will come back here and try other yummy dishes!

Not the greatest vietnamese food, but good enough for a quick meal.
If anything, stick to the regular menu items — phở

So yummy ! No complaints with what I ordered. I didn’t get the bo 7 mon but similar to it with the variety grilled meats along with the shrimp salad.
I think they’re known for the bo 7 mon so no disappointment. I’d come back if I lived in town.

Really like this place! Great service and spring rolls and Bun is delicious! Spacious and appears clean. Good place to go to after shopping at Yorkdale. Prices are reasonable as well.

I make sure to go here everytime I go to orfus road, the food is a great price and very fresh and flavourful as well as huge portion for the soup!
I love that they serve your soup with fresh sprigs of basil. The spring rolls are amazing and so are the milk Shakes

Good service and pleasant owners. ‘hue’ phở was good and the assorted phở was delish. Tried their spring rolls and grilled pork bun– really good. In all money well spent. I will come again.

This restaurant is located in a large plaza near Dufferin St & Lawrence Ave W. If you’ve been in this area before, driving during the day is usually a nightmare because narrow lanes and usually construction makes a bad driving experience. However, once you get to the plaza, there are tons of parking spaces. The restaurant itself is very spacious and looks nice and clean. My companion and I were immediately greeted at the door and seated quickly. Unlike other Phở restaurants, I noticed there weren’t the typical oyster and Srichacha sauce and tons of utensils at each table. The server actually brings out your utensils with your meals!
We ordered a large size spring rolls, Assorted meat Regular size phở, and Vermicelli with lemongrass chicken and marinated pork. The spring rolls tasted fresh to order, the roll itself was light and fried well, and the inside was tasty. The phở broth was decent, albeit not much depth of beef flavour but not as bad as some other places where it’s either too salty or you can definitely taste the msg flavour. The vermicelli was also decent, with thinner and shorter noodles (which I’m okay with but my companion didn’t like) and well cooked meat. I could have used more pickled vegetables and fresh bean sprouts and cucumber but overall it was good. Portion size, both the phở and vermicelli dishes were huge for the price. I think the regular size phở was $ 6.39 and the vermicelli was $ 7.39 with two choices of meats.
Great value for Vietnamese food with big portions and good service! I’d definitely come back to taste some other dishes or for my 2^nd go-​to phở place.

I don’t think i’ve ever seen a bad Vietnamese restaurant. Great selection, tasty dishes. As I usually get on my first visit to a Vietnamese restaurant, I ordered the grilled pork and chicken on fried rice. The cuts were good. The dishes were remarkably inexpensive. It could be the best overall restaurant in the area, and I’ll include Yorkdale in that area… :)

Have to say I was a little disappointed. From all the positive reviews, I was a bit excited to try this place out.
The brown sauce that usually comes with bo 7 mon tasted a bit different to me, a not so good different. The beef fondue was normal.
The beef salad was actually very good.
The onion wrapped in beef was bland
The beef ball was not seasoned very well.
The grilled beef needed some salt.
The beef congee was better than expected.
The stir fry beef cubes were pretty good as well.
Also ordered spring rolls. Not the best but not the worst. Fish sauce was more salty than your average ones.
Will I come back… yes. I need to try the phở in order to give a more accurate review. I believe for Viet restaurants, spring rolls and phở are a must try in order to accurately judge the restaurant. So, please stay tuned.

I get such a good vibe from this place because it has such a clean environment and the furnishings actually look nice, not tacky like other small viet restaurants. Although, it seems somewhat hidden because me and my friend had to walk a bit from orfus to try to find it. It is across from a car dealership. Once we found this restaurant, my friend and I were greeted once we walked in. The prices are what you’d expect when you compare them to other phở chains, if not slightly more cheaper (in regards to the phở soups). The waiter was nice to us. I also like the bathroom (women’s) lol. They’re clean and nice elegant-​looking. It has a full body mirror which is handy if you want to check your outfit and the like. Overall, I enjoyed this restaurant and I will continue stopping by.

I really like this place! Good food and amazing service. I would definitely recommend this restaurants to all my friends.

This is my go-​to Vietnamese place when I’m in the area. The noodles in anchovy soup are consistently fantastic and the curries are typically quite good (except for the last time… hopefully that doesn’t become a trend).
Service was excellent every time, good décor and reasonable prices.

This place really impressed me. The first thing that struck me was the look of the place. It was clean and actually had some décor, not like a downtown Asian restaurant. It does have kind of a lounge vibe, but I don’t see how that’s a problem. It’s a refreshing change from plastic chairs and unswept floors in other parts of the city.
My server was great. She was friendly and polite in a way I haven’t experienced in Toronto, let alone in a small Vietnamese restaurant on a side street. She welcomed me, made conversation, checked in to see how the food was. She did ask me if I was ok with chopsticks which I almost thought was offensive but then when she took the utensils to the table of Asian folks next door she asked them the same thing. Turns out she was offering a fork so that everyone is comfortable. Nice. I ordered the spring rolls for about $ 4 and a regular phở for $ 6.95. The menu lets you choose three meats for the phở. I went with rare beef, flank, and on a whim, chicken. The serving size for the soup was big. Lots of meat, allowing several bites of each type which was also impressive compared to the competition. The broth was a sodium bomb, but I like it that way so not a problem. The springs rolls were my second favorite ever. Crispy, chickeny, mildly greasy, would make for good hangover food. Tea was free.
It’s just up the road from work, I’ll be going back.

This used to be my favourite new find for Vietnamese food. Unfortunately, yesterday’s visit made me question my previous review. I’m not sure if they are under new ownership, but everything about this place has gone downhill.
Over the past 6 months, Viet House has changed the format of their menu. The Grilled pork with rice paper and vermicelli that you assemble yourself used to be my go-​to dish. When they wrote the new menu, they removed this option. When I went in about 5 months ago, I asked them if the grilled pork was still available and they made it for me. The grilled pork comes as part of a mixed grill entrée, so they still have it, but just as part of a different dish.
When I went in this time, I asked the waiter if I could have the pork since it used to be on the menu. He said that no, it never had been. Perhaps, he thought I was referring tthe recent, revised menu, but I told him that I had been to Viet House many times some time back and they had a pork dish on the old menu. No, he said. This may have been a language barrier, but it felt rude and dismissive. The service here has always been friendly and accommodating, so I was a little shocked at this guy’s negativity.
We ordered Spring Rolls, My friend had the Lemongrass Chicken and Pork and I had the Beef with Rice Paper wraps. Bahn Trang.
When he arrived with our main courses, he shoved the spring roll plate, which my friend was still nibbling from to the other side of the table and practically threw our plates in front of us.
The food was mediocre compared to all the previous visits. My friend’s dish had no apparent lemongrass flavour and the presentation left much to be desired. It all looked thrown on the plate.
I was sad. I loved this place and would come here often with my boyfriend of best friend after a Costco run. I’ll think twice next time.

Woot woot! My 300^th review!
If you are looking for yummy Vietnamese eats in the Yorkdale/​Orfus Road area, this is your place! They have an affordable menu with great selection. The vermicelli was delish; perfect meat to noodles ratio. The Phở broth had depth and hit the spot.
I was surprised to find vegetarian options available which is definitely a plus.
Service was great and very attentive.
I will definitely be back when I am in the area; you should check them out as well.

I just happened to be working nearby this place one day so being the noodle soup lover that I am, I decided to pop in and check it out.
The restaurant is situated in a sleepy strip mall consisting of office/​retail units and this restaurant was rather large. It felt more like a night club/​Asian karaōke bar than a Vietnamese restaurant. As my visit was on a Friday afternoon, most of the tables sat empty.
I ordered my safe brisket beef noodle soup (s) and my hubby ordered ginger beef (s) Phở. The bowls arrived without much warmth to the soup which was a deal breaker right off the bat. To add insult to injury, the waiter came by a few minutes after our noodle soups arrived, only to take away our Sriracha and hoisin sauce bottles to another table.
Broth was the usual msg + stock blend and there wasn’t much to be said about other flavours in the soup. But my hubby really disliked his ginger beef phở as the meat was very chewy and tough on top of being wayyyyyy too gingery. It was hard to taste anything other than ginger in his soup.
Next time I’m in the area, I’ll just skip this place and head down south on Dufferin to grab myself a good ol’ California sandwich instead.
