Q1 Pho Famous

I’ve been to enough Pho places in different cities and countries to say that I know a little bit about Pho. This place is my favourite Pho in Toronto. The soup is the difference maker. One of the most flavourful Pho soup base I’ve had in Toronto. And meat to noodle ratio is just right. They serve 2 sizes, small and large. But the large is big enough to be comparable to XL in some other places. $11.99 for large. Fair price. Will post pictures in the future.

Wonderful family-run restaurant. The staff were extremely kind and incredibly attentive to our party of 6 last night. The quality of the food was superb, the prices very reasonable, and the atmosphere made me feel welcome. One of our party left prematurely and one of the items ordered was not paid for I think (there was some confusion). However, one of the owners/managers said it's okay and that we can work it out "next time" we visit; which was extremely generous of them. I don't visit Toronto often, but I will never forget Pho Famous, and would recommend it to anyone who desires a delicious Vietnamese meal for lunch or dinner! We will certainly be returning again. Thank you all so much, all 6 of our party loved your food!

Broth was quite flavourful. Didn't require any reservations one of the newer pho places downtown in Chinatown. It is pricer than most other establishments and their selection is less for traditional pho noodles but their broth is flavourful. I also really enjoyed the quail for any one who likes this dish which is often only found in traditionally Chinese restaurants and when in season. Ordered A.07 which was rare beef with tendon. Did wish they had a wider range of cuts of beef like well done, flank, beef balls etc.

I got the classic pho Dac biet. Typical benchmark for when I try a new place. Place was actually pretty decent, broth was pretty good not as sugary that I find other pho places dt do. If I had a knock soup may be just a tad on the salty side but not a total deal breaker. My girlfriend got the chicken pho and I found that really salty. Portions size were great especially for price, no small size so be prepared. They are also one of the few pho places that serve that garlic in vinegar as a condiment . I'm use to only getting that at home, so that was nice. I'm not a big fan of there iced coffee, I'm pretty sure it's a powdered mix however I didn't see then make it before my eyes so can't say that for sure. Overall would come back for the pho, especially after finding out they open super late night on Friday/Saturday
