Pho Tien Thanh 越南粉

Very special place. Excellent really excellent food. And that is why you go there. It is authentic from tip to tow. You will enjoy it, also because no stupid lounge music disturbs the experience. A must in the Toronto restaurant scene.

The Pho is AMAZING. There is soooo much flavour and perfectly done! I just wish the place felt just a bit more clean and the service was better because we had to ask multiple times for a fork.

Nice place for lunch! The food was good. Ordered the deep friend blended shrimp on sugar cane vermicelli, with BBQ pork, and spring roll. The BBQ pork was nicely marinated, but a little bit dry. Spring rolls and the shrimp were delicious! Recommendations: Soursop milkshake, beef wrapped in with lolot leaves

This was our first time here..... and WOW! Staff and atmosphere is great - My go to for Vietnamese food is a pork or shrimp over vermicelli noodle... Pho's is number 59 (pork)... Amazing. Very flavourful and fragrant.... we started with spring rolls that were to die for! This is a certainty.... we you visit Toronto... you need to visit Pho Tien Thanh... it's just a must. There is a reason they are a Michelin rated restaurant! Thank you.. and e look forward to returning!

Cute neighborhood Vietnamese shop. I know this place is an institution but honestly the food was very meh. I ordered the Special Pho and the broth was not very flavorful, not much topping and a lot of noodles. The broth tasted a lot of spices but not much beef flavor. My friend got the Bun Bo Hue, which is actually the better choice with much better soup but still not a lot of meat. We also ordered the spring rolls which was so oily and heavy, lots of taro and not much meat filling. The portion was decent but I noticed an increase in price. I understand the economy but I was hoping for better quality in the food. Came during lunch time so it was quite busy and loud. The service was quick.

Michelin recommended It is a friendly Vietnamese restaurant mainly served Pho 🍜 The soup tastes good The meat either beef, pork or chicken are very delicious 🤤 The pho or noodles or vermicelli, honestly we can’t say it is better than other Vietnamese restaurants but it is fine …. It is more or less self served but they still charge 10% tips automatically that I think it is bit controversial… Canada is infected by the USA about the tips culture … I anticipate more and more restaurants charged it automatically on the bills and the % will be higher and higher …

Went here for dinner and decided to try something other than my usual rare beef and tendon Pho with a side of tendon. The minced prawns in crab noodle soup (Vietnamese style with pork knuckle and pig blood curd) was very good. We got a seat quickly and never mind sharing a table with other customers. Service is always friendly and pretty fast. My only wish would be that they clear away the cobwebs high on the walls!

The taste of the pho was good, but the downsides of this restaurant are that it is cash-only and the cleanliness of the interior.

I’ve heard good things about the pho here, and I wasn’t disappointed, but I also wasn’t blown away. Would definitely come back, but probably wouldn’t go out of my way to frequently visit. Cash only on weekends (and perhaps weekdays too?), there’s an ATM available if needed. Plenty of seating with an outdoor patio in the summer, and service is typical of any asian restaurant (more hands off), so don’t be surprised if you’re not used to that.

I came here because of BlogTo and wasn't disappointed. Pho is a dish that I really enjoy, especially during cold winters. The Pho dish here had the most flavourful broth I have ever had. A lot of care and attention went into this dish. I ordered some fried rice on the side and was surprised at how good that was as well. The Pho by itself is enough though, the portions here are a good size. The place was quite busy and the tables are together so you sit right beside strangers as you eat, but that just makes you feel social while you eat, all around a nice quaint little spot.
