Pho Real - Vaughan, Ontario

2024 June 2.5★ Real Vietnamese people, but geared towards non Vietnamese. Large restaurant space, but they seat you closer to the kitchen where possible. Service was ok, but they only give you an option of tea or water, not both. Pho Beef Tenderloin, Tendon $19 It's ok. Not enough herbs. Bun Ca (spicy) $19 Again, felt ... that it lacked enough herbs and wasn't flavorful enough. Black Bean Sticky Rice With Duck Leg $16 Not as expected, or really underwhelming. Large menu. They try to offer everything. Read more

I usually come here on my lunch break and the food is just amazing! I’m Vietnamese myself so it’s to be expected their dishes are more fusion, but the variations of traditional platters they offer are just delicious and well thought out! Portions are great and the food is always ... freshly cooked. My favourite is the rice vermicelli noodles with lemongrass chicken and the basa fish soup! Neither my mom or I had any idea what this soup was (as it’s not traditional) but it was soooo good!! My mom is a true food critic but she herself was impressed. The place is super clean and spotless and the service is spectacular. The owners are really hospitable and always make the effort to know their customers Read more

Pho nomenal place to have a lunch 😋. The food is super fresh and tasty. The lady who runs the place is super nice and food is authentic well made 👌and super delicious. It was a delightful experience. Clean place great service and great healthy food.

Food: As other reviews have stated, the broth is very rich but the meat lacks flavour for the most part. For the price, you get a generous amount of tenderloin, brisket, and beef balls but it can be inconsistent with the amount of beef balls you get in your bowl. ... The bean sprouts, Thai basil, and lemon grass are served with little scissors - something I haven’t seen other place that makes removing stems so much easier! Hot tea and iced grapes for dessert are on the house which is a nice bonus! Atmosphere and service: Ample seating and spacious restaurant but don’t expect quality service. The servers are very kind but won’t serve the way you may be used to - if you ask them for recommendations they simply say “I don’t know, whatever you want”. Overall a good experience if you’re just looking to grab a quick bite for lunch or dinner and leave - 3.5/5 stars would visit again. I’m on a mission to find the best Pho in the GTA - follow me for more Pho reviews! Read more

The service is atrocious here . I asked for no cilantro in my soup and when I indicated this to the lady in charge she raised her voice and caused a scene in the restaurant saying it’s not in my soup . I told her it’s in there. And she ... continued yelling disturbing everyone in the place. Then she proceeded to tell the people at the next table what happened with my soup. Very unprofessional . Mistakes happen and it was an easy correction . After 10 minutes or arguing they changed my soup. For this alone I’ll never return . Read more
