Com Tam 168 - Toronto, Ontario

This usually is our favourite Vietnamese 168 pho restaurant, located in downtown right next to Gerard Square which allows you to park free in the mall However after years coming to this restaurant I felt like they are one of many pro pandemic business, surviving to stay so they did not ... increase the price but reduced the portion Ordered the same noodle soup Bun Bo Hue tonight and there, it only gives me around 5~6 bites, then that’s it. Flavour is still tasty though. By the way, stay away from their congee since they are not the ones who knows better than the Cantonese Read more

Follow @bredgyeats for more food pictures! For a personal nostalgia factor, I used to eat these shrimp cakes wrapped with tofu skin and deep fried all the time and come back to savour its wonderful contrast of the textures of the crispy tofu skin and the delicious bouncy shrimp paste. Served ... with plum sauce for a little balance of sweetness. Read more

As usual, the broken rice dishes here are always top-notch! It tastes really close to what you get on the streets of Saigon! Other dishes like Phở, or Bún Bò Huế is okay. BBH tastes more like Bò Sốt Vang. Overall not bad. Quick service and spacious space. Really recommend this place ... for their broken rice dishes. Read more

I have been to many pho places, but this place compared to the rest is very generous with their beef serving. I ordered the large rare beef and beef balls bowl PH05. Overall taste was great, broth soup not as strong in taste but acceptable and not very salty. Servers ... were very kind and atmosphere is very clean and spacious. Prices are fair compared to market, cash and debit only. I recommend and will definitely come back. Read more

Our family recently went back to Pho Com Tam 168 and as always the food was amazing. We ordered their signature House Special Beef Rice Noodle Soup (ie Pho PH01) as well as their Rare Beef Rice Noodle Soup (PH02) along with the mandatory small side dish of deep fried ... pork spring rolls (K08). Featured in the images are regular size bowls with fresh noodles ($14 + 50 cents each for fresh noodles* *more to follow on this, see below). Time stands still when we eat these dishes because they always taste as you'd expect them to. The pho is rich, savory, and heartwarming with the classic Vietnamese aromatics. The pork spring rolls are crispy and have the perfect blend of pork, veggies, and vermicelli. To be clear, the food, service or atmosphere, it's all 5 stars! However, it will be important for customers to be aware of the more subtle changes that I'm sure are driven by the pandemic. When we used to go to Pho Com Tam 168, there was always the complimentary option to choose fresh noodles or dry noodles (that are cooked). Both are great but do have a slightly different mouth feel. If you decide to go with the fresh noodles, please know it's now an extra 50 cents (no longer complimentary). The restaurant also used to serve their noodle soups in small, medium and large. Small is no longer available. If you'd like a take-home container for your leftover, please know there will be a small charge for that as well. Where I give Pho Com Tam 168 credit is that all of these new changes are clearly listed and displayed on the standing table menu. Just make sure to have a good read so you're clear on these new changes. Overall, we would happily go back to Pho Com Tam 168. The food portions continue to be generous. We left with full bellies and smiles. Read more
