Pho Vietnamese Delight

Huge portions and the phở is pretty good. $ 7.50 for a small but in reality its the size of a medium/​large! The amount of noodles is ridiculous, so trust me on this — just order a small and you’ll be mighty full.
Service is prompt and the food comes out in seconds. Literally. Not a minute goes by after we order and BOOM its out. Good or bad I don’t know lol.
Clean and doesn’t smell like dirty cloths. That’s a win in my opinion.

Don’t go here, I’d give it zero stars if I could. Roach infested and roaches crawling all over the spoon trays. Made me wanna throw up at the sight when I walked in and saw! And the fact the employees didn’t seem phased when I made a comment about the roach problem was a huge turn off. So so disgusting couldn’t walk out the door fast enough!

It’s not a Vietnamese restaurant, they only imitate Vietnamese foods. Therefore it’s easy to understand why the Phở and other Vietnamese foods here are tasted so bad. Also the waitress there is really rude, she put the glass of water on the table hard enough that it splashed all over my friends and on the table, then she asked for more tips… I mean, it’s bloody terrible the service.

Now, I’m not usually one to come to a Vietnamese restaurant for dinner, but a friend chose it, and I had no other suggestions, so we ended up here.
Came somewhat later that the usual dinner rush, so it was a little quieter in the restaurant. Lots of seating, so we didn’t have to wait long, but the service was a bit slow with only 1.5 servers working. (One was on break while we were there).
I don’t really like phở, so I ordered the Pork with Rice and Curry Sauce. The Pork was quite good, but the soup it came with was ALL MSG, and the curry was barely spicy at all! Definitely not worth that extra ~$ 1.5 for the curry. My friend ordered a spicy phở, but not too sure what it was. He loves it, and says he orders it all the time!
Service was decent, but a bit slow as I mentioned. It was tough to get some more water or a napkin, and needed to ask specifically for it. Servers were also lacking on the enthusiasm, and I definitely felt like they didn’t want to be there.
I probably won’t be back, as I don’t even eat Phở.

I have been to this place for a couple times but this place is getting worse each visit. If I could give no star, this place is definitely the worst experience I have had. We ordered the cooked bean sprouts n they gave me the raw ones. The thai soup was so salty that you could taste the amount of MSG in it. We paid $ 2 for the extra beef n there were NONE. The food was not good n the service made it worse. there are many other phở resturant, so I will never come back to this one. I wont recommend this place to anyone either.

This was the worse food experience ever! This food will kill you. The place is a pig sty. I’ve seen better looking soup broth in my toilet after a night of hard drinking. If someone tries to bring you here, jump out of the car and run, don’t look back, just run. I like Vietnamese food and eat it quite often. I enjoy it so much that I began to think it was impossible to mess it up… until Phở Vietnamese Delight. First it is not owned or run by Vietnamese, it is run by Chinese, that says enough right there! Tonight, It started with the hot tea, she brings it to the table in a large plastic picture, you can smell the plastic melting. She pours it into plastic cups, old dirty looking plastic cups, you can smell the BPA from the plastic leaching into the tea. Literally you can smell it. I’m with people that I like and care about and I wanted to say something and just leave but it just wouldn’t have been appropriate. Finally our soup comes in large oversized plastic stained soup bowls. I didn’t eat it, I just picked at it. Hot food and plastic should be against the law, it is poison and can change your entire hormone structure. Known fact, breast cancer is from BPA in plastic and other plastic items. This place is BPA central and you can taste it in the food. Run, don’t look back and start to demand more folks. If not for yourselves, for your children.
Did I mention I wasn’t fond of this place?

There are some places that I question and this one is definitely one of them.
First off the name of this franchise in chinese translates to ‘Fat Cow Noodles’ with a picture of a fat cow. However the english name that is displayed is «Phở Vietnamese Delight». Always a big pet peeve of mine when it comes to chinese vs english names for businesses.
This place is no where near authentic viet but the food is still good. The portion sizes are massive and you do get your bank for your buck. A small phở is almost like a medium-​large. Can you imagine what their large is like? I’m a big eater but I can barely finish a small on its own. The broth is flavorful and not fatty like other places such as XeLua and Pho88. However the broth also is a bit different then genuine phở. There’s something about it that makes you want more. You WILL be thirsty afterwards as they over power your meal with MSG. The other dishes such as rice or vermicelli dishes are as well very good. Portion sizes are big for those too.
Service wise, they are crap. Like all their franchise locations, they follow the stereotypical chinese/​mainland service with rudeness, dirtyness and greedy for cash. Like for example, i do not appreciate having my table wiped clean with the same cloth used to wipe the food/​soup that was spilled on the floor. I do not like to be moved to another table midway through my meal to accommodate a larger group. I also do not like the bill served to me when i’m still eating to hint that i need to go to accommodate others. I also do not like to be told that the amount on the bill is before tax and tip although i’m still taking out cash from a different pocket to accommodate the tax and tip. Oh and the greatest one yet, having their server speak to you in mandarin but realize you do not understand them so they make some snarly remark. I questioned «pardon me»… he gives me the «argh» and shoves me back.
All of the above has happen in multiple occasions but why do I come back? Well it is because it’s the closest phở place near my work and the broth is good. Otherwise I would never come back.
Would I recommend this place? Yes but ONLY if you drop your standards.

Price and service is alright. The waiter is very nice. The food is meh.

Perhaps I’ll have to get used to this place once I start classes at Seneca. There are a few other choices in this plaza though, however in terms of noodles this is practically the only place. It’s okay though.
I came here with my dad earlier today, and noticed that the owner was actually someone my dad knows! Ding, immediate discount. The place was moderately busy for 3pm, and my guess is it consistently gets customers due to its proximity with Seneca.
My dad ordered the satay beef noodle soup, while I ordered the well done beef with tripe noodle soup. First I must say that the satay soup base is of the Thai style, not the Vietnamese style, so do keep that in mind if you order it. Other than that my dad seemed to enjoy it. My well done beef with tripe noodle soup was also okay, although I should comment on the huge portions they have! I barely finished a small, and I was starving when I arrived. Lots of noodles, generous on the beef and tripe, and the soup base… was relatively standard.
Iced lemon tea is quite good, and I would definitely recommend that.

I came here for lunch today because I had some business to attend to and this was the closest eatery around that I thought would be quick in and out. Also I love a hot bowl of noodles in the winter.
The seating was really squishy but as expected during the lunch hour. With a quick look around I can tell that this place is frequented by students from the nearby Seneca campus. I guess if I was a student there, I would come here too. It’s cheap and the portions of noodles they give you is generous. I ordered a large bowl of house special phở, but next time IF I ever go back, I will order the small. There was plenty in the large. Actually let me clarify, there was plenty of noodles. The amount of meats was fine and the beef tendon was really soft which was really good.
Now I can’t really comment on the cleanliness of the place. I don’t usually venture into the back and to the washrooms in these joints. I rather hold it in and use the washroom when I get back to the office. However from reading the other reviews for this place, it seems like it’s subpar when it comes to hygiene. Good thing I didn’t have to go today.
So in conclusion, my bowl of phở was okay. However had I seen the inside of the kitchen like the other people that reviewed here, I may have ran out if I saw what they saw.

Ate here and the hygiene level scored zero. Found stuff in the bowl of phở.

I hate to be the person that changes the reputation of a restaurant. Came here during the ice storm blackout as I was powerless. The two male waitstaff were friendly and quick to respond. The portions were huge for the price, and if you like to eat cheap.
Here’s the negative, i had a seat facing the open kitchen. While eating I was watching a person prep. Bins would be placed on the floor (the oil stained cardboard boxes) and he would push diced up scallions into the bins. When he missed the bin, he would scoop it up and place it back in the bin. This also happened with the rare beef. He would mix the beef in the bin, some would fall out, and nevertheless he would pick it off the floor and place it back in the bin. I saw a piece he missed to pick up, the. I saw him step on it! Good thing he didn’t put it back in the bin.
I know health standards are different in other countries, but this is Canada, at least build a door so I don’t need to know I’m eating food that fell on the floor!

Went last Sunday, with a few friends for lunch and it’s a place that I normally go to when I’m in the east end and want phở. Fortunately with this review, I’ll continue going to it for its pretty consistent food, and generous portions but there are numerous areas that do need improvement for this to really put this phở place on the map.
I’m from Mississauga, and most of the good phở that I’ve had is mostly located in Mississauga, though there are some good places across the GTA. I’m not sure if it’s just Vietnamnese people in Sauga have an entrepreneurial spirit or what but it’s certainly bloomed a lot in the West end. But I digress…
Overall, the food is really good. My friend ordered the «House Special» and the phở is pretty tasty, the broth is clear and I personally don’t taste any MSG in it (I would tell only if my tongue is numb and is in dire need of water). It’s also included with a generous amount of noodles (a small size is not so small) and the tendon and tripe are perfectly cooked.
For what I ordered, I got the Lemongrass Chicken rice dish and it was safe to say that everyone at my table wanted to grab my dish after most of them had a taste of the chicken, which for the record was juicy, flavourful (packed with Lemongrass taste) and well grilled. We could not get over how yummy that was. The rice, with the nice sweet/​salty fish sauce was just an excellent dish.
The not-so-good’s part of the meal was more on the service and I was left with the impression that they were a bit short staffed, although there wasn’t a whole lot of people in the store. One was at the bar while the other one was waiting tables. When they had brought my rice dish, they forgot to provide the fish sauce and I had to flag the server twice in order to get my attention. At a certain point, I thought I got the server’s attention as she looked at me, but then turned away and went to another table and clean the dishes off that table. I was slightly irritated by that, as I sat around 5 minutes while everyone is digging away with their food.
I do wish that they would do something with that bathroom though, it’s a weird mix of a single person /​public bathroom. Not to mention, why are there a stack of chairs in the bathroom? It’s rather off-​putting.
In any case, good place for phở, big portions, tasty food.

I generally like the food here, but I’m not pleased with their coupon expiration dates. I order a lot when I eat here so I can take advantage of the coupons. But the coupon’s expiration date is only one month. It’s not likely that I’ll come every single month so I end up not being able to use them & wasted several already. Sucks that they can’t extend that date & make it more worthwhile for their customers. I don’t think I’ll bother with this coupon thing anymore — waste of time. I’ll likely patron them less going forward for this bad business sense.

I wasn’t impressed with this place. The broth was bland and the pork was over spiced.

We came here to get some takeout. We ordered the chicken skewers with vermicelli, chicken wings, pork with vermicelli, spring rolls & seasonal vegetable sauteed in garlic. We got the food in fairly short order. I was surprised at how quick we got it. It’s not the best Vietnamese food I’ve ever had, but it’s pretty good. Decent prices as well. Service was fast & courteous. The restaurant was relatively full, with only a few tables empty. It was clean & bright. Just a tad small for all the tables in there.

I’ve come here half a dozen times in the last month, miraculously. I still have change left in my wallet.
Seven dollars for a small bowl, eight for large. You can practically swim in the portions. The BBQ chicken and rice here is decent as well, and it pairs nicely with the seasonal vegetable in garlic oil. During the day, you may run into a highly enthusiastic waitress who is also louder than a steam whistle. She’s quick to bring out your order, and refills the cup of water whenever is comes close to half empty. I said half empty because it makes more sense here… not because I’m a pessimist.
This is a very average local restaurant, and it seems to cater to many Seneca students. The level of service declines as the time draws closer to evening. The lively waitress is replaced by a much less perky young Man, who makes sure he does no more than he is paid to. It also feels slower here at night, even when there are more tables.
The food is consistent, never waiting more than ten minutes for your order.
The spring rolls is a bit hard to chew, I don’t actually remember spring rolls being the way they are here in Vietnam. In fact, phở is completely different in Vietnam… for starters, our portions are unimaginable. But, I don’t think that’s something I could complain about… we must be pigs in the eyes of the Vietnamese. almost like how we look at Americans with their fast food addiction.
There’s not much to say about this place, when I’m hungry I come here. and with what change I find in my pant pockets, I manage to buy myself a meal.
Perhaps my most boring review yet…

I love this place. Ever since the first visit I have enjoyed the food and the service they provide. The restaurant overall is very clean and comfortable. The staff are extremely friendly and kind. In terms of service, we receive our food fairly quick and it is equally good every single time.
Whenever I go the typical order is the phở special, chicken and beef skewers with the curry sauce (which is amazing) =) On occasion I would order the chicken rolls which are very good IMO. The price range is fairly decent, I believe all the items on the menu is under 10 $.
I would definitely come here again :)

Confortable and clean place with good and cheap food. I ordered a lemongrass chicken vermiceli for $ 6.99. You can choose water or tea to go with for free.

Due to the random power outage in my apartment/​area, my parents and I went across the street to grab some food at this restaurant. We’ve been here, and the food is never consistent. The first time I went, it was delicious, but I haven’t been impressed ever since.
My mom ordered a lemongrass chicken dish with rice, my dad had the Hainan chicken, and I had the chicken skewer, spring roll and vermicelli. My dad said the Hainan chicken was pretty good — but I enjoyed it more at Phoenix. My mom’s rice dish — we didn’t really get to try since we were full from sharing the other two dishes. My vermicelli dish was mediocre. The fish sauce seemed too over powering. Too much MSG.
Their phở dishes from previous experiences also had too much MSG in it as well. However, it’s quite a lot of food for the price you pay for.
