Pho 88 - Toronto, Ontario

It's not a very clean restaurant, the utensils and basically everything are a little sticky (spoons, chopsticks, bowls, tables and floors). The food was good and affordable, but I really don't feel safe eating in this restaurant😅😅. Plus, the rice is really sticky and clumpy, I can tell it's probably ... the cheapest type of rice. Would not recommend any dish with rice, their vermicelli is worth a try. Read more

Decent Pho noodle restaurant with large size portions at affordable prices. Utensils and sauces are available at each table, like many Vietnamese restaurants. Staff can speak Cantonese. I would recommend visiting if you're in the area. They only take cash and debit.

Food is fast and good. Service, though not say much, not bad and fast. Overall, not bad at all.

Pho connoisseur here. Last time I visited was about ~15 years ago. From what I recall back then to what I experienced tonight, unfortunately I need to report a decrease in value. I ordered a small rare beef and tendon pho. The portion size was on the smaller size of ... small. They served green chillies, bean sprouts, lime and basil on the side, no sawtooth cilantro. The service was fairly quick - I ordered, went to the bathroom to wash my hands, and came back - no less than 30 seconds later my order was brought to my table. At the table side are tissues, chopsticks, spoons, sriracha, hoisin, and chili oil. No sauce dishes. The sriracha was in a generic bottle that they refill, but it tasted like authentic Huy Fong. Now on to the pho itself: the portion size was small. Toppings were minimal as was the amount of noodles. I purposely ordered a small to satisfy my craving but was left looking for a little bit more. The pho was also dressed with a minimal amount of onions and green onions - looking at the photos from other reviews, my bowl had obviously less garnish. The rare beef appeared to have been flash cooked in the kitchen as opposed to rare/red and allowing the broth to cook. The tendon was nice and soft, but only about 5 small pieces in my bowl. The soup base was good - hot and tasty. Rating of 3 stars - average but deducted a star for poor value. My small pho costed $15 plus tip, $17.25 total - simply not good value for money. I heard the staff speaking Cantonese instead of Vietnamese. Read more

Whenever I am in the area I will definitely be making a stop here. Excellent quality food with reasonable prices that is open late (bonus!). When I dined in on a Saturday night, it was extremely busy but the staff were very quick, attentive, hard working and friendly. Keep up ... the great work! Read more
