Angus Pho House

Came in on a Friday night at about 8pm. The location wasn’t hard to find as it’s just along Yonge St. and the place was not busy.
I had the rare beef phở (in the soup) which was good, but wasn’t spectacular. The only thing I could tell is that the beef was a bit leaner and perhaps they used less msg than other larger chain phở places.
The place was nice, clean, small and seats about 10 or so tables I’d say. Owners are Chinese And speak Cantonese.
They make a good phở, and have other cuisine on their menu like Thai.
This place is overall good and I would eat here again, but I can’t say I’d go out of my way to have phở here.

Really nice bowl of glass noodles and seafood, and a very nice shrimp wrapped around sugarcane. Service was also good.

I ordered the house special phở. The portion of phở was generous and the servers were pretty responsive. The food was great and I’d love to come back.

The food was alright and the price. We had to ask for cleaner utensils and bowls but that’s how most Asian restaurants are. Had to ask 3 times for water. Went at 4pm.
The reason I’m giving 3 stars (probably generous after hearing my situation) is for the service. When I went up to the cashier to pay for my meal, I took the entire $ 11 for my $ 9 meal. This was because as a commuter, I needed money for the ttc and was still rummaging through my wallet to see if I have any coins for later. I had a friend that was willing to spot me 2 loonies but I wanted to check anyways. In addition, I get tips from my workplace so I have s lot of quarters I wanted to get rid of.
As soon as I walk over to a table to place my wallet on top of, the waitresses start talking about how i didn’t tip and how I’m a bad person in Cantonese. Fortunately, I did understand what they were saying. I would’ve preferred if they talked about the situation later, after I left. Also, if they waited until I left, they would’ve known that I’ve tipped but was ensuring I had the change I needed.
It’s like when waitresses immediately take the tips you leave for them while you’re still at the table. In my case, I felt very uncomfortable and as a matter of fact, I was exhausted from a long day and probably doing things I don’t usually do. However, I did ended up tipping them after looking through my wallet and making sure I had the money I needed.
The worst part was when one of the waitresses said ‘it happens what can you do’ aloud in English.
This was a very upsetting experience and I probably won’t come back.

Generous portions and very good quality of food/​ingredients.
The service is fast and especially courteous and attentive.
Would love to return to check out for more.

In search of good phở, but ordered Pad Thai.
I can already safely say that I will be back.
The chicken and shrimp pad Thai arrived to my table and it looked amazing. Very decent sized portions as well. Delicious and flavorful. No complaints whatsoever.
My boyfriend ordered a soup with beef and beef balls from what I recall. It was also very yummy.
We had decided to switch and split both dishes. Got the best of both worlds.
Hot crushed chili peppers were already readily available and there was nothing left by the end of the meal.
Overall the place is neat and clean with just enough space not to be crowded with tables. Staff were attentive with refilling my tea when needed.
I can understand why this business deserves all the good reviews. Glad I took the time to discover this gem.

We ordered take out from here last weekend (5 adults). While I liked the dishes with vermicelli, I didn’t like the beef brisket with tomato sauce & rice dish. Also we ordered the party tray for the spring rolls but they looked small compared to our fave phở place (Phở Vietnam in Scarborough). The fried rice was okay as well. I find most of the dishes over-​seasoned. Lots of salt & other spices. I like a light touch with seasoning on the side so I can customize the dish to my taste. So while the food was decent we’ll keep trying other places in the neighbourhood to find a better phở place near here.

My favourite:
Roti & Tom Yum Noodles.
Portions are huge, the tom yum noodle and roti are full of flavour, and the price is good. Avocado milkshake — the one time I ordered it, it was too watery. It would have tasted really good if it was creamier.
Restaurant is clean, staff is friendly, and best of all service is fast!

There’s something about phở that’s addictive! Maybe it’s our brutal cold winters or maybe because phở runs in my blood. I am not sure but there are times when I find myself driving aimlessly to another part of town in the middle of the night on a quest to get my phở fix; this stuff is like crack and I love being the addict.
I am inclined to give this place all 5 stars had it not been that one mediocre experience last time I visited. I have been to this place close to half a dozen times and they have always been consistently delicious with attentive service. Now, I’ve come to expect mediocre service in any phở restaurant (it’s a fact) but being neglected is a whole new level. Also, I am not sure what happened to the portions on my last visit; I felt like I had the kids meal?
Anyhow, on to the good. The broth is clear and yummy. The noodles are slightly overdone but still pretty good. They also use decent quality meats; you won’t find ice-​cap size of lard bits floating in your soup like some other places. I was very surprised to discover that their curry and roti is quite delicious.
I will definitely be back as I’ve had a good run of great meals at this place but I do have my reservations. If you are in the area, it’s next to impossible to find another phở place that can compete with this.

Probably one of the best broth that I’ve had. Will return if I’m in the area!
Staff: They are very nice and understanding when we came in with a large party. Took our orders in a timely manner and our food came quick.
Ambience: There isn’t anything noteworthy in terms of décor. Walls are white, with one tv playing ads. The tables are all different but alright for seating.
Food: I had the Spring Rolls as an appetizer which I felt was overpriced at $ 6 for two spring rolls (I’m used to getting 3 rolls). My main I had a Chicken and Sausage Rice Noodle Soup. Not going to lie, I didn’t realize it wasn’t Phở until I got it but the dish was good because the broth was amazing. It was fatty and salty but not too fatty and not too salty. I normally don’t drink much of the broth but this time I was drinking it well after eating all the noodles. Chicken was juicy and not dry as well.
Great food and staff, just wish it was priced differently and had better furnishing.

Barely call this authentic viet. Edible but wished I didn’t make this choice. The rice was dried and uncooked and the avocado shake made me cringe with the sheer memory resurfacing to write this review. Was no means a good choice of eats nor was it worth the price. Being at the foodie central area, I question how Angus is able to even compete with nearby restaurants. Worth skipping…

Probably the best phở place I’ve been to, and I’ve been to Phở Hung and Hanoi 3 Seasons and multiple Phở 88 locations. Their broth is delicious, and achieves its flavour without MSG, which helps me feel better after guzzling back the broth. Their portions are generous, and the quality of their meat is quite nice. They also deliver, as long as you don’t live too far away. I’ll sometimes order multiple phở dishes, and then eat off them for days. It’s so good, it’s hard to get tired of it :)
You don’t go here for the cheapest Vietnamese place in the city. You go here if you’re looking for high quality. The house special and the pork hock is always good, but the tom yum broth is also surprisingly tasty. Not as fond of the tomato brisket though. If you’re feeling a little adventurous, order the roti dish. It’s delicious, but you have to be in the mood for something really rich.

Great food, good prices. The phở was very tasty but also very salty. Customer service was very good and they are located close to Finch subway station. Would come back again.

I’ve heard great reviews about this place from my friends, but for the lunch specials that we ordered I think the food here is just average.
The lunch specials are under $ 10 and include some fruits and a free pop (or you pay extra to upgrade for regular drinks). I checked the drinks menu, there were like 4 – 5 pages of them, and they are on the pricy side with the highest being $ 6.99 for a drink (non-​alcoholic). So both me and my friend opted for the can of pop. I ordered the Vietnamese chicken and my friend got the spicy phở.
My Vietnamese chicken just wasn’t good… The chicken was bland, it wasn’t soft and juicy, and the rice didn’t have enough chicken juice mixed in. I’ve definitely had more flavourful Vietnamese chicken at downtown food courts. I do like that the portion is huge and the sweet and sour veggies on the side were very appetizing. According to my friend her spicy phở wasn’t really spicy at all and she said there weren’t a lot of meat.
When we went to get our bill we forgot we were still missing the fruits that were supposed to come with the lunch special and the owners didn’t offer to bring them to us as well. Points off for the service.

Awesome Hainan Chicken with Rice! Both dishes of my friend and I ordered are soooo delicious!!! The chicken tasted so tender and flavourful with its house-​made chilli sauce. The soup of phở was super appetizing~ The staff was friendly and price was really reasonable. It was one of the best restaurants beside some korean cuisine in North York.

Really delicious phở with really great service!
This phở house is amazing. The restaurant is not too big but it’s comfortable. The owners are cantonese and super friendly, even when you have a lot of requests to change about your phở. I always get the house special (small). A small is the biggest small I’ve ever seen in my life. This small can well qualify for an extra large anywhere else. The portions are big, not just the bowl. The noodles are fresh and delicious while the broth is warm, inviting and lack the salty taste of MSG. Pro tip: get your rare beef raw, on the side on a plate. It’s like having your own hotpot in the broth and never having overcooked beef. Delicious!
I will be back! Prices are good, especially when the bowl of phở is gigantic! I’ve never once yet finished a full bowl of small here.

Came here because I was craving phở. We shared a large bowl of Angus phở along with their App platter (pictures below).
Angus phở was so delicious and they know it. No wonder the store is named «Angus phở». Waitress was super friendly and informative. Great service. Cozy location. Prices are reasonable.
Kudos for not using phở puns.

Yummy phở within the North York area! Woohoo.
I would say that I enjoy Angus Phở House’s broth a lot as it contains lots of onions and scallions. I want to say that this place is quite consistent but unfortunately the last time I went, my friend got a very small portion in terms of meat and noodles, even though we both ordered the same size. Overall, I am quite satisfied with this place.
The interior is pretty standard, but you have to go downstairs to get to the washroom. This wouldn’t stop me from going here whenever I feel like having phở!

After reading the reviews I thought I’d give this place a shot, especially cause I was craving soup. The seafood soup is very spicy and delicious. If you order take out/​delivery the seafood broth comes in a separate bowl and you can add as much of it to the noodle as you like. The sweet and sour chicken was just alright, nothing special to note. The pad thai has a generous amount of chicken and shrimp and tastes great. I got free coupons for Spring Rolls, and Roti with curry sauce for my next visit.

If you’re in North York and looking for delicious phở that comes with excellent service, Angus Phở is your best bet.
They can be quite busy if you eat at the restaurant otherwise you can always order online on Tasteaway for pickup or delivery ($ 2 extra).
I am in love with their vermicelli dishes. It’s perfect if you want a light meal — the vermicelli pairs well with the marinated meat depending on your order. ⁴⁄₅ time I always order the vermicelli.
Then on cold days, a bowl of their house phở can be super comforting. The broth is not too salty and the portions are generous for the price. The roti with curry sauce is also delicious although I wish they cut up the roti into smaller pieces. The curry can be a tad oily so try and finish it before it gets cold. Because nobody likes dipping in cold oily sauce.
The staff is friendly and always quick to service everyone. I am a fan! Call me a regular!
