Had the spring roll, and rare beef + brisket pho. I prefer Pho Train though, the broth was more flavourful and the brisket was meatier vs. just slices.

Pho Linh is my go-to spot for pho. I came with my parents and we ordered two Special Combo Beef soups and one Rare Beef with Beef Ball for myself. The broth was rich and flavourful, the meats were tender, and the portions generous. Always consistent and comforting. Highly recommend!

One of my favourite spots in Toronto for a classic pho or bánh bèo bì. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to try a family‑run restaurant with heartwarming food!

Authentic Vietnamese style Family run businesses. Variety of menu options The restaurant only serves pork and chicken meat ONLY . I found the meat could’ve been more flavourful compared to other Vietnamese restaurants. I order menu option # 32

Food and service hit the spot. Didn’t have to wait even though it was a full house. Can’t complain. Cash only!

I drove almost an hour specifically to try their nem chua and I’m extremely disappointed. Out of the 5 I bought, 3 were visibly moldy. The garlic was discoloured and the pork looked dark and grey, completely different from the fresher ones I’ve had elsewhere. For something priced at $3.50 each (and they only take cash) I expected basic quality control. Honestly, after seeing the mold, I’m hesitant to even touch the remaining two since they were likely from the same bad batch. Total waste of time and money. Extremely disappointed and concerned about the food safety here.

This spot is the perfect place for a hot bowl of pho in downtown. They even offer complimentary hot tea, which is always a nice touch. Don't hesitate—it's definitely worth a visit!

The Pho is delicious, the broth is so flavourful I highly recommend it. I have eaten the Grilled Pork with Vermicelli twice and would probably get it again. Food is really good in its taste and portion size.

Hands down the best BUN BO HUE in the city. The combination of spices and spiciness in the soup base really hit the spot. I substituted the beef shank and pork bone for lean rare beef. Been coming here for decades and will continue to come back for this soup, which is only served on weekends. Service was quick and easy.

Pho Linh First time in Canada for the win So I thought My first impression was instantly shocked I didn't know that writing your own order in Canada was a thing Had to write the menu item and even the pricing They only accepted cash Hard to travel international with just a credit card in your grasp They did however have an ATM But the service here is to a min You really are your own worker You take your own order They don't really check up on you After all this, all I can say is boo

This my childhood place right here. I been going to Pho Linh since I was kid and I am sure it was one of the first restaurants that my mom and uncle took me too. The sitting area and décor to be very honest can do some work but it gives me back the nostalgic feeling of my childhood. It all pretty much look the same when I was 3-5 to now. Whenever I come here I kid you not I always order the Banh Cuon here it to me should be considered the best in the city. No other restaurant does it better or as good as they do. There very consistent with the ingredients that go into it and it always taste great. I try to come down near the weekends to order Bun bo Hue there. Sometimes I feel like its either too spicy or not enough spice in the broth but whatever just add siracha I know it isn't the same but you know lol that extra kick. I guess growing up in Toronto especially near Pho Linh and been going there for so long I use to see a lot of Vietnamese and other Asians in there and nowadays its amazing to see it isn't just filled with Asians and everyone there enjoying the food. They only take cash. VALUE (4/5) SERVICE (4/5) OVERALL (4/5)

I stopped by Pho Linh on a Monday around 12 pm, and we were the first ones there. It was completely empty when we walked in, but since it was lunchtime, people started trickling in after us. The waiter was super nice and let us pick any table, so we grabbed a corner spot and started checking out the menu. The place definitely has that authentic Vietnamese spot feel--nothing too fancy, a bit rundown, but in a charming way. The decor is super simple, and you can tell it's more about the food than the decor. We ordered the special combo beef rice noodle soup (pho), Vietnamese iced coffee, 2 nem chua (pickled pork sausage), and banh beo tom say (shredded shrimp with steamed rice cake). The special combo beef pho was really solid--the portion was just right, the broth was rich and full of flavor, and it came with a lot of good stuff. A nice surprise was the beef balls! I usually don't see those in pho back in New York, where it's more just beef, tendons, and tripe. I really liked that extra touch. The Vietnamese iced coffee was strong and tasted great, but the cup was mostly ice, so there wasn't as much coffee as I was hoping for. I was excited to try the nem chua since I never see it on menus in NYC. It wasn't as pickled as I thought it would be and was a bit milder, but still tasty. I appreciated that it didn't have too much peppercorn, but I think a little more garlic or red pepper would've been nice to adjust the flavor a bit. The banh beo tom say was a first for me. The steamed rice cakes were hot and sticky, but they didn't have much flavor on their own. The shredded shrimp on top had most of the flavor, but the combo of the steamed rice cakes and dry shrimp made for an odd texture. Adding some fish sauce definitely helped, but be careful not to overdo it or it'll get too fishy! One important note: This place is cash-only. There's an ATM in the back, but it's good to bring cash just in case.

3.5/4, decent pho nothing special though! Soup was a little more bland but it hits the spot. I wish it arrived hotter, by midway the soup tasted cold. The spring roll felt old- lacked the crunch factor. All in all it's a reliable spot for a cheap eats! We got the special pho, rare beef and beef ball pho and the deep fried spring roll! Plus side is that service is fast, and large portions. Just remember it's cash only

Authentic Pho is at this joint! The seating area is not so great. It's always super packed so expect a wait. The food is worth it tho. Every time i go here its only for the Pho, its good here and they are always consistent. The service is quick too. Would come back again, well i've been coming back more frequently. The Pho special with all meats is very authentic tasting. The bone broth ahhhh taste like Vietnam food. The meats soo good they do give an abundance be sure to use the spices they give. There is a little pot of hot spicy peppers. Please note those are crazy hot tasting peppers, i like spicy so i add this. My thing is when you see a Vietnamese restaurant with majority Vietnamese customers in there you know right away the food is authentic, no Vietnamese person is eating uncle bens noodles. I can guarantee that. They take cash only and i always forget that so something to remember bring CASH! There is an ATM but it looks so sketchy i would not recommend using that.

The beef rice noodles at this place are truly impressive. The beef is just lightly blanched, making it incredibly tender, and the beef tendon is perfectly soft and melt-in-your-mouth. The most remarkable part is the broth, which is on par with the best Japanese ramen. I highly recommend ordering the clear soup version--it's worth the trip!

After I saw that they have banh beo on the menu, I knew I had to come here for lunch to try it (haven't had it in over 15 yrs). We got the banh beo bi, spring rolls, summer rolls, grilled pork chop with rice, and beef ball pho. The banh beo & pho were really good, we all loved the spring rolls- crispy with a tasty filling, grilled pork chop was kind of dry, and the shrimp summer rolls were not good- skin was chewy & the pork inside didn't taste fresh. The staff were friendly, and all the food came out quick. *Cash only*

This is a reliable spot to grab a bowl of pho in the Dufferin and College area. Super quick service, we made our order and went to wash our hands, and by the time we got back, all the food had arrived! We were able to finish our meal for a free presto transfer home. Win! It is cash only, as another reviewer mentioned. It does clearly say that in the doorway before you walk in. They also have an ATM if you need to use it (EQ bank card for free ATM withdrawals... if you know, you know). I had the chicken pho, and the rest of my group got the banh cuon, special pho, and we shared some spring rolls. I only wish the chicken pho used dark meat instead white which is dryer. The regular size was plenty for me. Bowls of pho start at $15, which honestly a bit rich for what it is. Banh Cuon isn't the best we've tried but still satisfying! We couldn't find the apps on their menu. They do have it, you just have to ask. Their spring rolls and are great! It doesn't taste like some generic frozen ones. If you can read Viet, they also give away Viet newspapers, and it's free to grab for anyone. We saw the publisher for the newspaper is just a few doors down.

Perfect food for a cold winter day! I was in the area and decided to check out this pho place and really enjoyed it! Portion size of the pho was large (even when getting the regular size). Lots of noodles and a generous amount of beef and tripe served! Broth was also very flavourful. For $15 a bowl, I was pretty happy with how much food I got. I also tried the Bahn Cuon (steamed rice paper rolls with Vietnamese sausage) which was really tasty! I liked all the coriander and fried garlic that comes on top. Dipping all that in the fish sauce was just a flavour bomb! Don't expect the seating to be comfortable, but the food is good enough to forgive that. Service is average since you order by writing down what you'd like but again, you're really there for the food. Other downside is that is cash only. If you don't have cash, they have an ATM inside though.

Pho Linh, located on College near Ossington, is a popular Vietnamese restaurant serving all the Vietnamese classics. I stopped by Pho Linh on a Thurs for lunch at around 1pm. Place was half busy filled with customers. You're given a piece of paper to write down your order. I opted for the regular pho special. My pho came in less than 2 min! The pho was delicious and there were many delicious cuts of meat within the soup (beef, tendon, beef balls, etc.). The restaurant also gives out whole chili peppers to add to your soup (how it's done in Vietnam!). They also serve fresh noodles which is great. Broth tasted great and the pho was delicious. The restaurant also has many types of hot sauce for you to choose from (fresh chilis, chili oil using dried chilis, sriracha, etc. Overall, fast service and delicious Vietnamese eats around the area! Love that they also have banh cuon, will have to try that during my next visit!

After hearing all the rave about this place, I decided to give it a try. Besides, how can I say no to pho! I really love their pho, and I love how they have unique presentation like their stone bowl pho. The soup is served in a hot boiling stone bowl, with the noodles and meat is served on the side. 5/5 I also really enjoyed their steak with egg, and bone marrow. Served with a side of Vietnamese baguette. This is my first time trying a dish like that and it was delicious, great portion and the steak was cooked to perfection! 4/5 Honourable mentions include their iced coffee and their crab spring rolls. Their Vietnamese iced coffee was good, but I've had better. Same goes for their crab spring roll.,3.5/5 The grilled meat broken rice was a miss for me. There's not much flavour/seasoning to the grilled meat. 2/5 I'd definitely recommend this spot if you're in the Scarborough/Markham area!

I tried this place because it's owned by a singer I really like. However, the food turned out to be quite bad. The pho had no taste at all, and the banh beo seemed like it was reheated in a microwave. It was very disappointing.

After a 20km hike we decided to grab some Vietnamese food! It took them less than 10 minutes to get the pho cooked and served which is amazing, especially if you are starving. The bun cha grill meat was a tad try and difficult to chew but had a great smoky flavour. The bun cuon was good but the rice roll texture was too mushy, same goes for the bahn beo.

Haven't been back since high school when this was one of the stables in the area along with Phoenix. Was in the area with a friend who had a few hours to kill and was looking to look for some food to eat. Decided to just use trusty ol google map to find what is around the area and remember this was on the list. It was probably just past the lunch hour, menu was heavily favoured on beef and pork, rarely any grilled chicken which was a bummer. Server gave us the courtesy to pick a spot since it was just the 2 of us. Gave us hot tea and a menu. I went with number 47 which was the fried chicken with lemongrass and vermicelli noodle. I was honestly surprised there wasn't a grilled option. My friend went with number 1 rare beef pho in a regular portion. Both our food came out within 5mins or no more. My food came out looking quite presentable before I even got a chance to take a picture of it. The only thing I didn't like about it was the vermicelli was kind of cut up so every time I went in with the chopstick it would kind of disperse. Would of preferred if they left it like spaghetti like without cutting it into pieces. Oh yeah every Vietnamese restaurant I goto usually is grill chicken and includes a spring roll on the side. Wasn't a deal breaker but for some reason I was expecting one. Friends rare beef looked pretty good and broth tasted good, hoisin and sriracha was not needed to enhance the flavour.

They're cash only!!!!! BE FOREWARNED! That said, food was good, which.. pho broth wasn't overly salty. Worth the hype. Delicious food. Good portions. I also took the fried spring rolls which were quite expensive but delicious nonetheless. I'd absolutely come back.

Tasty!!! Termperture of soup is ideal!!! HOT! Come here for the food, not the ambiance. Seating considered quite congested and social distance hard to maintain.

Nice pho. Meng is not as nice as Pho. Recommended spring roll as well. The shrimp cake is make of a shrimp and green bean. Not recommended shrimp cake.

This place is like the strict viet auntie you have who only speaks in nods and grunts but serves up the best pho broth you've had since you were in Vancouver. As a plus/con you also hear karaoke from the back of the place so I imagine this is where everyone in the back kitchen is living it up when auntie's not busy. 10/10 in terms of broth flavour and satisfaction. Ignore anyone who says there's a better pho joint in town. Cash only - don't be be a yuppie and expect them to take card.

Went here for the first time to try the Bun Bo Hue and it did not disappoint. The place is s very typical Vietnamese restaurant with the standard menu. Service is prompt and to the point. People who were there were clearly there for the food and not the atmosphere. The Bun Bo Hue (XL) was amazing. Broth was rich and full of flavours and the noodles were cooked to perfection. Generous portion of pork, sausage and a combination of other meats. I got red chillies on the side for that extra kick (totally unnecessary for most). Will return to try the Pho next time! Giving 4 stars only because post pandemic they could clean tables a bit more after one party leaves.

Very authentic Vietnamese with fresh broth. Lots of items to choose from from the menu. Special dishes you don't often see at other restaurants as well. Great and fast service.

I tried the S1 (banh canh) which was the pork leg and crab meat with transparent noodles. I had never ordered this dish before so wasn't sure what to expect. It had really thick noodles like udon but transparent. The flavour of the soup was nice, you could taste the crab. I wasn't a fan of the pork leg or the shrimp (the shrimp didn't taste super fresh) The fresh rolls I wasn't thrilled about either (especially for $2.50 per roll). Thats a food item I'd rather make at home. Small and cozy restaurant and the food came out super fast.

Scott A.

Yelp
Pros: Quick, friendly service. Cons: Menu is heavily beef based, very few veggie or chicken options. Ordered a beef/chicken pho. Overloaded with noodles, beef/chicken turned rubbery within minutes. Mediocre flavour, had to load up with hot sauce and unlabeled mystery brown sauce (hoison?) to boost it. Obviously a popular spot due to turnover I witnessed, but we won't be returning.

Great variety of authentic Vietnamese food on the menu. The bun bo hue is to die for. Come early on the weekends, because chances are there will be a wait!

Pho Linh is a Vietnamese restaurant located on College St, just west of Dufferin St in Toronto, Ontario. They are known for their bun bo hue which is only available on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. For those not familiar with bun bo hue, it's essentially a Vietnamese soup containing rice vermicelli (bun), beef (bo) and originates from Hue which is a city in the central part of Vietnam. The name is a little misleading though because the soup contains a lot of pork. I usually go to Pho Linh when I'm having a craving for bun bo hue. They definitely do one of the best bun bo hue soups in the city of Toronto. I dropped by for a late lunch and I was quickly seated. I ordered a small bun bo hue ($8.50 plus tax). The soup was really good. The broth had a spicy lemongrass flavour profile that was rich, flavourful and complex. It had cha lua (slices of Vietnamese pork sausage), beef shank and pig feet/knuckle in it. The rice vermicelli was of the thicker kind and was perfectly cooked. Only thing missing was the congealed pork blood cubes. I have been to Pho Linh quite a few times over the years and the pho, vermicelli and rice dishes are pretty decent but their best dish is definitely their bun bo hue soup which is only offered on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If you are looking for an alternative to pho and willing to try something more adventurous at Pho Linh, order the bun bo hue. No need to add hoisin sauce or sriracha sauce to the bun bo hue soup. It's spicy enough and the broth is already rich in flavour. Tip: Cash only establishment. ATM located in the basement.

AMAZING. Went here for the first time with a friend and I was quite blown away with the broth and the noodles. The noodles were cooked to perfection and were not soggy nor too bouncy - just right. The broth even without any of the fixens was amazing. I got the old reliable pho dac biet. I usually love my pho with lots of lime and mint, but I can say that I would have still enjoyed it without them. The various meats in the broth were also very tender and just added more to the broth's already great taste. This place is tucked away in a little corner. Be sure to try this pho out! Very good stuff. There is usually free street parking around the corner during the night.

The pho not only looked bad but also had no taste at all. The broth was sooooo plain, the beef and everything else ( I ordered a special pho ) were horrible. Banh cuon was not impressive either. Only Little meat and lots of rice roll, very stingy on the toppings and the taste was not even good. The only positive thing we could find at this place was an unique drink and that's it.

Finally able to leave a review for this mom and pop pho restaurant. I've been coming here for the most part of my life and the food has always been mouth watering. My family use to come here all the time whenever we felt like eating out, so this definitely brings back some memories. We ordered the cha gio (spring rolls x 2), pho dac biet, a small Banh cuon, and a bun cha gio. Everything came out so quickly and fresh. It still blows my mind how they pump food out so quickly but also with such high quality. The pho broth is hands down the best. It's so refreshing and clean (not cloudy or oily). Perfect amount of brisket, beef balls, tripe, tendon, and noodles. Add some fresh lime and mint. You're golden. This is one bowl that is a definite must get when you check this place out. I'd also highly suggest the cha gio. This is not your Asian spring roll. The wrap I believe is made with rice paper and damn it's so good too. A little bit of fish sauce... my mouth is watering right now. Must try this as well. The Banh cuon is a staple dish too. Basically little rice wraps that you eat with fish sauce too. Bite size that is just right for an app (if you get a small). The bun I'm not the biggest fan, although still really good. I'm just not a dry noodle kinda guy! If you're looking for a skinny noodle with some lettuce, spring rolls, and basically a salad with noodles. Overall, I'd highly recommend pho linh to anyone that's in this neighbourhood. There's a reason why it's been around for such a long time, and continues to be busy during dinner service.

Pho Linh has some interesting takes on pho that most places don't do. Coming in, the lineup was out the door which is always a good sign. I had the weekend special, which is a noodle dish from Hue. The noodles were on point, with plenty of different meats like pork knuckle, Vietnamese sausage, beef tendon, pork as well as a good variety of veggies like basil, bean sprouts, lime, chili and a root like vegetable and green I couldn't identify. The star of the show though is the broth. That peppery, spicy broth unlike your regular pho broth. It was so good I would get it in a to go mug in the morning.

Im lacking words to describe it, just perfect I'm sure Viet noodle fan all had bun bo hue at some point, but this, is amazing and unique- the taste is better than other places and just feels more fresh. Recommend order through Ritual if the line is too long - they pack really well for you.

I've been coming to Pho Linh for over 20 years now, and I can always rely on their great tasting pho among other favourites I have here. Service is quick. Sometimes during peak hours, we order take out, which is made promptly. Unfortunately it is cash only.

Prior to the pandemic, we used to eat in at pho linh regularly. Decent food but they're dishonest business. We have ordered take out a few time and each time they have either short changed us, or charged us a large for a regular sized pho. These incidence/ were definitely not and 'accident' as it always happens with takeouts specifically. We wish to continue coming back but with the kind of dishonesty in the way that they do take out, we won't be coming back to support this business.

I came here for a late Sunday dinner date and I remember coming here a long time ago but clearly I had memory loss because I didn't remember it being so good! The servers greeted us right away and were kind to tell us to watch out with our coats and the furnace. Atmosphere: typical Vietnamese restaurant. Typical environment. It was very clean, comfortable. It was pretty busy for an extremely cold Sunday night. Perfect for pho! Food: I heard their bun bo hue was delicious so I went with that. Usually it's spicy so I asked for less spicy and it was perfect! The broth was delicious. I wish they had the pigs blood with it but it was good nonetheless. My friend ordered pho and we shared an order of banh coun - pretty decent. $6.50 for a good amount to share with some sausage. Service: pretty good. Fast paced environment. Can't complain! Overall I would definitely come back. I don't live that close but I am willing to trek to this location to have another bowl of bun bo hue

This is my go to Pho place. It can get busy and it is cash only. The beef broth was very good with the pho. I ordered XL cause I was hungry and it was true to size. This place also has their own steam rice cakes, do try it if you haven't, not many places do their own. Price is good. Quality is good.

Service: friendly and nice, no complain. BONUS: we forgot our shopping bag in there restaurant when we left, and the waiter came out to find and ran to us to return our bag, THUMBS UP AND THANK YOU! Food: we got the simple large rare beef pho and chicken pho. Both the beef and chicken stock tasted great on its own, not too salty, but not the best I've had. However, the price is UNBEATABLE! Super cheap and filling! Everything's under $10! Overall: would definitely return when nearby and craving pho or just a casual lunch/dinner! NOTE: sign at the entrance says CASH ONLY

I order from this restaurant a handful of times. Their food is good but could still be improved a bit in taste. However, their price is really low and the restaurant is not too far from where I was staying in Toronto, so the delivery fee was minimal.

If u are vietnamese, and if u love vietnamese food, I really recommend this restaurant. Some food I found this restaurant makes them very good and I didn't find yet in others restaurant. I love the stuffed rice pancake here " bánh cun ch ". It is served with fish sauce kind of sweet, add more green pepper if u like spicy. I got full with size M, for girl. My friend tried vermicle with toased beef and she really loved it. Fresh sping roll 2$ for each one, not too expensive and very fresh like its name lol. Serve very quickly, no need to wait too much.

Saw some post-COVID negative reviews, and want to set the record straight. I used to come here all of the time (favourite pho in Toronto) and was there last weekend for the first time in a while, and this place is still awesome. Can't recommend more. Get the spring roll.

Always a great place for pho and some traditional Vietnamese dishes. Better than most places in Chinatown (Broadview and Spadina). The service is quick and efficient and the food is always hot and fresh. There's usually people waiting at the door for a seat so it's not as friendly for huge groups as they only have 15ish tables. If you like banh cuon, Pho Linh is one of the best. Rolls are tight with a thicker rice wrap than other places and always loaded with fresh herbs and bean sprouts. Their rice dishes are delicious but there's usually not enough rice for me. Whenever I'm on the west end and craving some Vietnamese food, Pho Linh is usually my go to.

Absolutely hit the spot! Very authentic don't expect some hipster place. Small combo beef pho was only 8$ and had lots of raw beef, tripe, tendon, and meatballs! Meat was fresh, soup done perfect (not too salty yay). Noodles a little thicker than I'm used to but yummy! They have all the viet staples - pho, rice dishes, vermicelli, fun drinks (I got black jelly with coconut milk). Will have to take the family here when they come visit. Also - cash only. I walked to the BMO around the street but then found out there is an atm downstairs by the bathroom.

As close to authentic PHO as you might find in Toronto. Very good broth, good rare beef. I also like the mango smoothies. Prices are reasonable. Bit of a weird stink to the interior, maybe it was an issue that day...? A repeat spot for sure.

All I can say is the hype is real. Probably one of my favourite places to get Pho now. Service is quick, prices are reasonable, and food is amazing. Got the pho tai nam, spring roll, shrimp and pork roll and girlfriend got the bun. All were amazing and I would definitely come back

I have to say Pho Linh's bánh cun (rice roll) is the best I have eaten for years!! Sorry, Dad... even yours were not as good! Bánh cun is not easy to find up in Scarborough or Markham.. even if they have that on the menu, it would be something they offers only on the weekend. I ordered a LARGE with minced pork and mushroom ($6.50).. and ate it all by myself... and have no regrets... and I want to come back for more!! I love how they were all rolled up in small bite size and I can just dipped them in the fish sauce and eat those in one bite! The Spring rolls ($1.50) was A-OK too...stuffed with yam and came with a big leaf lettuce for me to wrap it in... Pho Linh is as authentic Vietnamese as one expected...and I need to be back for the bánh cun or even to try out their bánh bèo!!

My favourite pho place in toronto. The price is reasonable and the food is always consistent. I go to pho linh almost every saturday! They have bun bo hue only on the weekends. So i like to get that that soup noodle. It comes in a spicy lemon grass broth. Theres all types of meat in it. Their spring rolls are also a must have. I also like to get the mango slush to go along with my meal!

Their bun bo hue on Saturday was superb. Just enough spice, and the beef was good. It smelled good. Tasted good. My only complaint is their vietnamese ice cafe was very small. Too much ice not enuff cafe. The restaurant is also very small so theres almost always a queue outside their diner. So waiting to be seated while hungry is like ... annoying... i wanted to eat the person in front of me.

Very authentic and yummy! My friend took us here for dinner upon our arrival from Buffalo. He knows I love all types of food and that one of the reasons I enjoy Toronto so much is because of the availability of good ethnic cuisine. I had pho with beef and tendons while my friend had the bun vermicelli noodles. The broth was delicious of course. Really, I should learn to make pho because I like it do much. And they had avocado shake which I love. There isn't much on service as this is very much a bare bones type of place. You even write down your own orders. And it's cash only. But the food is very good and they don't rush you out. I'd recommend this and would go back again.

My go to authentic pho place. I usually like going to restaurants which are the closest to the authentic taste and Pho Linh never disappoints!!
