“ Great food! They have small medium and XL pho that was very interesting! ”
“ Food was fantastic. Very authentic. They had a few employees who spike English so no issue with communication. Cost with tip was CAD 69 for two pho bowls, a shrimp vermicelli bowl and a pork vermicelli bowl. They have gluten free choices but it's mostly limited to pho or the soup options. ”
“ Oh my gosh this had to have been the best pho that I’ve had in a very long time. The broth was outstandingly flavourful and staff were extremely attentive. Still craving this! Edit: I came back 3 years later and enjoyed the pho dac biet, while also being greeted by the sweetest gentlemen who took time to inquire about my background and sent me off with candy and well wishes. It was a very heartwarming experience! ”
“ A small Vietnamese restaurant located right in Chinatown. I ordered the bun bo hue. It is very authentic and tasted perfect. I highly recommended ordering this dish if you are looking for some good quality Vietnamese cuisine. ”
“ Pho Bac has become my go-to place ever since after the pandemic . I didn't know why I discovered this place sooner, maybe because its not so cool decor , my bad , my bad! The spicy beef pho ( 顺化牛肉粉bun bo hue) with extra spicy chili oil is my favorite of all time ! Remember, ask for extra spicy if you like hot and nice pho just like me ! It reminds me of Sichuan food somehow, full of flavors and spicy oil, just so ! Good! The special pho , aka the classic, is just tasty and classic! Some days, if I'm feel like something lighter, I'll order a classic pho, sip a couple of spoon soups, then add hoisin sauce and siracha spicy sauce aside, eat with a little pho noodles and a piece of thin beef together! So good! The service is ..emmm...super fast but doesn't feel like a service. You know what I mean. At this kind of restaurant, all it matters is the Food ! ”
