We heard about the original location of this famous Vietnamese restaurant, so we decided to come for dinner. We arrived at 6:30 PM on a Sunday evening without reservations. We were lucky that we didn't have to wait long for a table for five. The place was buzzing and packed already. I really like the decor and ambiance here, and service was good. Their menu is the same as their Etobicoke location, with a wide variety of items to choose from and not just limited to pho and typical items you see at Vietnamese restaurants. The serving sizes are very generous. We ordered an appetizer, a fresh roll pork plate (delicious!), and bun goi gia, a tamarind soup with rice noodles. All in all, I see why the hype and would recommend it for its special environment. If you are not picky about the decor, the Etobicoke location is more convenient and offers the same quality tasty dishes.

Throughly enjoyed the lunch here. I ordered the first item on the pho menu, the Bún Bò Huế (BBH), the Beef Meat Salad (Gỏi Bò), and a Vietnamese coffee — and everything was fantastic! The pho had a rich, aromatic broth and perfectly cooked noodles, and the beef salad was so fresh, flavourful, and well-balanced — definitely my favourite dish of the night. The Vietnamese coffee was smooth, strong, and the perfect sweet finish to the meal. Beautiful presentation, great service, and authentic flavours — easily one of the best Vietnamese dining experiences I’ve had in the GTA. Highly recommend Pho Ngoc Yen!

No kidding when they say this is a hidden gem! I've passed by Pho Ngoc Yen so many times while test driving vehicles in the nearby auto mall. Over the summer this place was always busy. They have nice flowers along the front of the restaurant that makes it welcoming. I'm glad I finally stopped here for lunch. We tried their signature BBQ chicken with fried coconut rice dish and one new fish soup menu item. Both dishes were so full of flavour and absolutely delicious. The restaurant was busy but not full, there was no wait to be seated and the servers were helpful when we asked for recommendations on dishes since it was our first visit. I was so impressed with the two dishes we ordered that I will be back to try the rest of the menu. I also really loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. The decor is so nice and welcoming, lots of greenery and bamboo and the instrumental music selection is great. I also really love that the staff all wear traditional Vietnamese dresses and vests, it really makes the restaurant feel upscale. Long story short, great place, fabulous food and great service and atmosphere. Give it a try, you won't regret it!

The decor of this restaurant really does transport you back to Vietnam. The pho here is definitely the highlight. The broth was rich and the noodles were cooked just right. There was also alot of meat in the bowl. It is on the pricier end for Vietnamese food but I would definitely come back! I wanted to try more dishes but I could only eat so much in this one sitting !

I recently visited this Vietnamese restaurant with my friends, and we had such a fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. The staff were friendly, attentive. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We tried a variety of dishes and every single bite was a hit. You could really taste the authenticity in the cooking, with well-balanced herbs, broths, and spices that brought the whole meal together. What made it even better was enjoying it all with good company in such a cozy, relaxed setting. Whether you’re craving comfort food or trying Vietnamese cuisine for the first time, this place is definitely worth a visit. We’re already planning our next trip back!

Such delicious food. The best PHO I ever had. We ordered the short rib pho, pork and shrimp rolls, cold Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk and honestly I wish I found this place sooner! Will definitely be coming back!

Jam packed. Large portions. Tasty and delicious food with a friendly vibe throughout the restaurant. It's definitely not in a popular area as the surroundings are all corporate and business buildings...but you can't miss it with the decors at the front door. Reservations are recommended but only allowed for 5+ parties. Food is a bit pricey ($90+ for 3 dishes and a drink) but the restaurant has won many awards and praise from critics. It's definitely worth a visit if you are nearby!

This restaurant is in a industrial area. We went on a Sunday night. This place was the only business open. The restaurant was packed and crowded. The food presentation was really nice. Gave it 4 stars because the pork chops were dry. The staff were all friendly and we received excellent service.

Food is homestyle and full of soul. The pho is the best in town. Food is fresh. Ambience is nice and quaint. I also appreciate the nice service and the free hot tea. The portions are commendable and good for 1-2 people. Macro friendly if you're a body builder.

I came here for the first time with a group of friends on Boxing Day 2024. Since we were a group of 6, we were given a booth which worked out pretty well for us. Our server was kind, patient and very knowledgeable. Since it was my first time trying Vietnamese cuisine, I had a few questions about the different Phos. He really helped me by explaining the difference between them and gave a great suggestion when I told him what I was looking for. I decided to go with the P5 Pho which had rare beef and chicken. The medium Pho was huge! It was definitely more than enough food for one person, and it was delicious! The only small downside to this experience was that on Holidays, this restaurant doesn't split bills. So when you're going as a group, it can be a little tough. But overall, it was a great first experience!

12/7/24 11:30a I went to Pho Ngoc Yen Restaurant, which is about 30 minutes away from where we stayed in Markham. The restaurant is a decent size--neither too big nor too small--making it cozy and inviting. There is free parking available onsite, which is convenient. I really enjoyed the ambiance and decoration of the restaurant; it beautifully showcases Vietnamese culture with its traditional artwork and warm colors. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and I was seated immediately upon arrival. We were promptly served a pot of hot tea, setting a pleasant tone for the meal. I ordered several dishes from the menu that caught my interest. First, I had the mango salad with dried shrimp. It was crunchy, sour, sweet, and tangy--a full-flavor explosion on one plate. The dried shrimp added a soft texture and a hint of umami flavor, perfectly complementing the crunchy shrimp chips that accompanied it. This dish was both refreshing and vibrant. Next, I tried the BBQ chicken with lemon leaf, served with sticky rice. The grilled chicken was incredibly tender and moist, seasoned to perfection. The crispy sticky rice added a delightful contrast in texture and a subtle richness. Finally, I had the stir-fried clams and pork with perilla leaf, served with sesame crackers. This dish was packed with an array of flavors, combining the briny sweetness of the clams with the savory richness of the pork. The perilla leaf added a unique herbal note that elevated the dish, while the sesame crackers provided a satisfying crunch. The combination of these ingredients created a harmonious balance, making it a standout dish that I would highly recommend. Overall, my experience at Pho Ngoc Yen was delightful, and I look forward to returning to try more of their offerings.

I dined at Pho Ngoc Yen on Saturday, December 7, 2024 at 11:30 am. This was my first Vietnamese restaurant that I went to in Canada and I was very satisfied with my experience. I was impressed with the authenticity and quality of the food that came out. But what struck me the most, which is drastically contrast to most Vietnamese restaurants I've been to in the U.S., was the attentive and professional service. The host greeted me as soon as I entered the restaurant and was welcoming. The servers were attentive and cleared empty plates regularly. I really enjoyed the warm ambience in this restaurant. The restaurant had nice decor with Christmas lights strung throughout the dining area and decorative plants that didn't overwhelm and make the restaurant look too busy or tacky. Soft Christmas piano music playing in the background added to the overall classy ambience. All of the food had nice presentation. The goi cuon with pork and shrimp were very large, but tasted fresh. It was presented nicely in a basket. The mango salad with dried shrimp was a light salad that had perfect balance between the sweetness of the mango and saltiness of the shrimp. The stir-fried clam and pork had a lot of flavor and just the right amount of spice. The bbq chicken lemongrass was perfectly cooked - moist and flavorful. The hint of lemongrass elevated the chicken to another level. But, I didn't care too much for the fried sticky rice. With everything considered, Pho Ngoc Yen succeeded in delivering authentic Vietnamese food with nice presentation and excellent service. I would definitely return!

At first, very skeptical with the area and parking lot. What a hidden gem! You walk in and it's beautifully decorated and surprisingly large! Most Pho places are very basic and simplistic. This definitely surpassed my expectations. The noodles were perfectly cooked and didn't get soggy in the broth. The broth was flavorful and not overwhelmingly salty like most places. Portions and pricing were average! Service was great!

This was one the more highly rated places my friends recommended as we traveled from out of town. We loved the decor and vibes of this place. It felt fancier than expected. The portion size was hugeee, and the prices were so affordable. My friends got the pork rice dish with meatloaf (or whatever they're called), and I got the pork with vermicelli and spring rolls. It was sooooo good. I would love to come back. Service was pretty fast, but they did seem a little forgettable.

Every time I come to Missisuaga to visit friends, this is where they bring me. The portions are HUGE. Food is SO GOOD! And this place turns into a KTV place later in the night. It's located in the most obscure warehouse area but there is tons of parking. The staff are always very nice.

This place has a stylish interior that's a bit dated, but that has its charms. The waitresses wear Ao Dais (traditional Vietnamese women's clothing) too. The menu has the usual dishes but also some interesting items. The complimentary hot tea is very fragrant. Roasted matcha with grass jelly and chia seeds was good. It had tons of chia seeds. The grass jelly & chia seeds drink wasn't good though - it had little liquid & was basically just the chia seeds & grass jelly. BBQ chicken with lemon leaf & fried coconut sticky rice was good. The rice was well fried & really fragrant. The chicken was tender & tasty. Saigon fish noodle soup was rich & fragrant. It was a huge bowl & there was a nice assortment of fish toppings. The dough sticks were warm & crispy. Crispy net rice noodles with dried shrimp, dried shredded chicken & pork crackling with green onion sauce was good: delicate & balanced.

This restaurant was a surprise! It's very large and beautifully decorated inside, with plenty of people, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere. Service was friendly and fast even with the large number of people dining. Each dish was a huge portion for a very good price - we ordered way too much food because we did not expect the portion size. All the dishes we tried were amazing. The BBQ pork chop with broken rice was a satisfying comfort dish. The spring rolls were my favorite - so hot and crispy on the outside, with all the yummy ingredients inside. If you're in the area, you should definitely go try Pho Ngoc Yen!

Tldr: Cozy vibe, large space, washroom is hidden out of sight around the corner. Dessert concern of unmentioned alcohol. Service was good and prompt, lots of staff. I got the Pho Ga, and mussels to share with the table, both tasted good. The mussels were very slightly spicy, and had good sweet and savoury flavour. For dessert my daughter got vanilla ice cream and I got mango tart. The mango tart came with mango salsa. Unfortunately, I think the salsa went bad as it had a very high alcoholic taste, my 4 other dining companions also tasted and agreed. When we asked two servers, they said there was no alcohol in it. We suspect their fruit container had naturally fermented.

There are many pho places in the GTA and I was recommended to try out this one near my friends house in Mississauga. I'll preface this by saying the pricing leans toward the higher end. We ordered 4 bowls of medium pho, fried and bbq rice and an appetizer size pho. The food was good, but most of us paid around almost $25 per person for just 1 dish. If I were to revisit this restaurant. I would order an appetizer size pho with some sharables for the table.

As previously noted by me. This was my 2nd time here - and once again the service was swift (lunch time visit). Food was fresh and so tasty, I'm trying to get west end friends to meet here for a meal, I never understands when my sphere are hesitant to try new places - they have weird gateposts on new places. They want to wait for its popularity to wane, with this spot it could be years, yes they are busy but it's less waiting time than many "fast food" spots now!

Doing a quick search while in Mississauga for Vietnamese food, this seemed like the place to beat. We ordered take out from here and this place was bustling. It was packed and we're glad we ordered food for pick-up because it was likely a long wait if we wanted to dine-in. It was a large restaurant immersed in ornate vietnamese decor with a botanical theme. We had a large and pretty complicated take-out and they got everything right. All the food was pretty decent, from the fresh shrimp spring rolls to the different vermicelli combos to the rice dishes, we were all pretty pleased with our dinner. It was exactly what we needed after a long travel day.

We had an amazing meal here! Highly recommend for Vietnamese cuisine in Mississauga. We had the spring rolls and mango salad to start. They were both superb. The mango salad came with shrimp chips which paired well! Then we had the vermicelli bowl and pho as mains and they were both delicious! The broth in the pho was addictive and tasted really clean. Portion sizes were huge. The interior and decor are a highlight, and service is friendly and prompt. All the servers are in uniform too which reminds you even more of Vietnam. Next time I want to try the bun bo hue! Note that they only take reservations for groups larger than 5.

One of the best Vietnamese foods in GTA! We've heard about this place for a while and finally got to try it. We ordered their famous pad thai, BBQ chicken vermicelli and chicken wings. We loved the BBQ chicken and chicken wings! The BBQ chicken was so flavorful and tender while the chicken wings were so crispy and paired perfectly with the fish sauce. However, the pad thai was a bit too sweet for us and differed from the Thai style we expected. Also, I ordered the Bun Bo Hue, but I didn't like it as it lacked flavor.

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time, since it has such high ratings and consistently receives good reviews on Yelp. We were finally in the area at around diner, so we decided to give them a try. It was a Thursday at about 6:00 PM when we arrived, and the restaurant was not that full yet. We were seated right away. The atmosphere is just like the Yelp pictures, and you are surrounded by wood and bamboo in a very pleasant setting. The atmosphere is much different than the other Pho restaurants that I have dined at, as it has a more upscale vibe. We order the following: 1 X GOI CUON TOM THIT - Fresh Spring Rolls 1 X COM SUON GA OP-LA - BBQ Pork chop, BBQ Chicken, fried egg with broken rice 1 X BUN GA NUONG CHA GIO - Vermicelli with BBQ Chicken & spring rolls 1 X MI XAO GION - Crispy Noodles with beef and vegetables The vermicelli and the broken rice dishes were very good, among the best I've had. The fresh spring rolls were one of the best. We didn't know what the Crispy Noodles dish was but ordered anyway for some variety. This noodle dish turned out to be a disappointing as the sauce was very sweet, however since this was not one of the more popular dishes, I can't really complain. Overall, the service was excellent, the ambience was the best of all the Vietnamese restaurants, and the food was very good (just stick to the more popular dishes). Compared to other Vietnamese restaurants, the decor is so much better, and the fact that their food is good plus their excellent service makes me want to return.

Coming in, I did not expect the place to be this big! Lots of table, big and small, and yet they were all occupied :D Service was fast and efficient, typical of vietnamese places i would say. They offer great selection of Vietnamese food as well. I usually go for the usual pho dish but this time decided to try one of their rice dish. I have to say i was happy with the choice made. It was also my first time seeing rice grain that small, i did not know what broken rice was, but now i do!

Best pho in Mississauga! The broth is very aromatic and flavourful. Great portion and amount of meat. This is our go to pho restaurant. Service could be slow, you have to raise your hands to get their attention. Otherwise it's great, they are always really busy. Very warming ambience.

This seems to be a popular and highly rated restaurant. It was busy but service was relatively quick. We tried the bun bo hue and broken rice with grilled chicken and pork, and both were really good. Portions were decent and prices were reasonable. Would definitely come back if in the area.

Pho Ngoc Yen is definitely one of those spots that are tucked away, but a gem. The pricing is a little bit on the higher side, however the choices and taste of the dishes that were brought out is no joke to scoff about. As for the service, it was quite busy so we found it a bit hard to flag down a server and order, but the posh interior definitely made us feel like we were going to be in for a treat within a comfortably cozy space.

Update - Don't miss! We ordered the same food as last time and didn't realize it: 1 Pho Ngoc Yen Dac Biet = NY Special: rare beef, beef balls, boneless beef shank with rice noodles and H2 Hu Tieu Do Bien = clear noodles with seafood and papaya salad. We would have ordered more to try other dishes but the portions are so generous that we have a hard time finishing what we ordered. Packaged to go the broth is separate from the noodles - beef balls and seafood were in the broth but the rare beef and beef shank were packaged separately with a large bag of mung beans and basil and 2 lime slices. NY Special is full of tons of tasty meat and wonderful broth. Clear noodles with seafood was great with a good amount of medium size shrimp and scored squid but the crab meat was disintegrating. The papaya salad had the fermented crab in shell - there was a lot of small crab but we were able to eat around it as the pieces were bigger than last time - wish they'd make it without the fermented crab because it's an excellent dish otherwise. Can't wait to eat here again! July 2023 Wow, you do not want to miss this restaurant! This might be the best Vietnamese food we've ever had! We ordered the food to go and it was ready in less than 30 minutes. The soup broth is unparalled. Portions are huge especially for the price. Super fresh herbs. We ordered the P1 Pho Ngoc Yen Dac Biet = NY Special: rare beef, beef balls, boneless beef shank with rice noodles large C$17.75 and H2 Hu Tieu Do Bien = clear noodles with seafood large C$17. There was so much food we couldn't finish it but believe me we tried. There was a shrimp toast which we found odd and did not order - we had no idea what we were supposed to do with it so we ate around the shrimp as it had the shell on it and was stuck to the toast - we know sometimes you can eat the shell but we weren't clear if we was supposed to or if this was just decorative. We hate to include anything negative but the MNI Goi Ba Khia & Du Du = papaya salad was awful. Maybe we should have read the menu more carefully but we didn't understand that fermented crab meant teeny raw bits of crab in the shell. We discovered this after we bit into it and had to spit it out. The pieces were so small we have no idea how you are supposed to eat it and there was so much of it that you could not try to eat around it. As other noted, it is a schelp from Toronto city center to get here. If they don't open a sister restaurant, maybe they'll consider a limited menu food truck? We can only hope.

My top 3 Vietnamese restaurant in GTA. The pho and bun bo hue are the best! They are so fragrant and rich in flavour. They also give a lot of meat. Their salad was so refreshing with a good mix of salty, sweet, and a tad of kick. The restaurant is really cute, I love the ambience. The servers are very friendly. Sometimes it's hard to get their attention because they are so busy, but otherwise amazing hospitality.

One of the best Vietnamese restaurants I've been to in the city. Friend took us there cuz we aren't from the Mississauga area. Each of the appetizers were just wonderful and in the noodles were just as good as expected. Excellent broth, grade toppings and just nicely portioned. They also had a lot of fun desserts which is uncommon had a restaurant like this. Last but not least, good seating and service.

I was traveling for work and always look for local places to try out. On the way there, I was surprised to see where it was located. The restaurant is by a lot of factory buildings and seems to be out of place (I should have read the other reviews then this would not have been a surprised). The inside is somewhat tight and intimate. They have a variety of different type of seatings. I came solo and was seating at a table for two. I probably waited 10-15 mins before a table was available for me. When I arrived, I immediately looked at the menu and identified what I wanted. I waited and waited and waited. No one came to take my order. About 15 mins, someone finally did come and said that I need to hurry and order because the kitchen was about to close. Well no one told me that I had to write down my order. I jotted it down while they were there and my food did come out fairly quickly. Food was hot and not bad. The passion fruit juice was really sweet and something I never had before. I also enjoyed the ramen.

The location of this restaurant is so random, tucked in some small industrial plazas. Parking is also strange because on one side there are reserved spots for the other businesses so you end up parking on the other side and cross your fingers. The good thing is with Pho- food comes out quickly so you are not spending more than 30mins in this place. Inside the restaurant is very nice - large with authentic decor. I ordered the pho with all the fixing and I have to admit there was tons of meat in the dish. It boarder lined on too much meat! The one thing I have to point out were the beef balls were fabulous..I wonder if they are hand made. One small issue is I found the broth a little salty for my liking. I also loved the selection of the rice noodle itself - it was thin/dry and offered great chew. Service was also really good. I was tight on time so from sitting down to leaving - it took me 20mins. Really good quality and value for the money.

My friends and I stopped by Pho Ngoc Yen for lunch this past Saturday after seeing good reviews. The restaurant is in an area that looks like it would be for factories. But the interior inside is elegant and nice, definitely doesn't give the usual hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese restaurant feel. All the food looked really good and I had a hard time choosing. We were able to order our food pretty quickly and didn't have to wait too long. P1. PHỞ NGỌC YẾN ĐẶC BIỆT MEDIUM - 16.75 Lots of meat! More meat than there are pho noodles, which is a first. They are also extremely generous with the green onions, too. The meat was good quality and even the meatballs had more flavor and didn't taste like the typical frozen meatballs that I'm used to. The broth was seasoned well (not a lot of meat or bone flavor, though) with lots of spices. I didn't feel like it was overwhelmed with a lot of MSG or anything. By the end, I still had a lot of meat left over despite finishing my noodles already. Definitely worth it, and give the pho a try if you're in the area! CHIA SEEDS DRINK WITH FRESH GRASS JELLY - 6 I requested less sugar and it was perfect. The grass jelly was refreshing, perfect for the hot summer day and the chia seeds gave it a nutty and crunchy texture. It's also a pretty healthy drink, and I'd recommend if that's what you're looking for. A couple of my friends got the BÚN BÒ HUẾ and they really enjoyed the spice and flavors. One of them really enjoyed the texture of the noodles.

Hands down the best Vietnamese food you can eat for the money in the area. Driving to Pho Ngoc was a bit confusing as I did not realize they were in a industrial park. I thought I was in the wrong area and my maps was wrong, I got there before peak hours of 6pm and there were plenty of tables available. The menu was vast and we stuck with the norms. I ordered the bbq pork and chicken with broken rice, 2 bowls of rare beef noodles. Just these 3 items filled us up. I was total surprised there were actual rare beef and not cooked. The waiter gives you the bill and you have to pay at the cashier. They take credit but I recommend cash as you get a discount for cash. As we were walking out, there was a lot of people outside on the lawn waiting to get in. I highly recommend getting there early. Plenty of free parking and bring your appetite.

It is so hard, as a pescatarian, to find pho or Vietnamese food that I can enjoy. I've been a customer visiting this restaurant before this diet and I'm so glad I can continue to enjoy it. Don't be spooked by their location (situated randomly in an industrial area), the food here is absolutely amazing - truly a hidden gem. I ordered the vegetarian bun bo hue - super flavourful, tons of toppings, their imitation meat looked so real that I had to double check it was not real meat with their employees + great service + lovely decor

This is probably the best Vietnamese restaurant I've been to in Toronto. The food is very good, the service is very good and the decor is excellent. The owners did a great job decorating the restaurant. It is located in an industrial park and looks very unassuming from the outside but step through the doors and you're transported into another world. The furnishings are classy and inviting. It's unlike most other Vietnamese restaurants in N America which are pretty bareboned looking. The menu is quite extensive and they offer dishes you normally wouldn't see at other Vietnamese restaurants, which I liked. I order the broken rice pork chops which were excellent. The pork chops were cooked perfectly and the rice and pickled vegetables went well with the pork. Service is pretty attentive. I was quite impressed overall! I plan to be back!

Ironically we ventured to the new Etobicoke location in search of a Pho go to place closer to home and were blown away by everything we tried except the pho! The staff here are phenomenal. Very friendly, super helpful with the menu and extremely attentive. The Etobicoke location is LARGE, bigger than any Vietnamese place I've ever had the pleasure to dine in as the owners took over a long standing "diner" like location. The decor is updated with lots of greenery added and very welcoming, but there are many many table options here which is nice

There is no wondering why this restaurant has won best in Ontario and top restaurants in Canada! You truly feel like you've walked into a restaurant in Thailand, but then again you're eating in local grandma's kitchen in Chiang Mai.... Brought back some memories for me! Must make a res bc they are busy all the time! but they were able to fit our party of 6 last minute when we were there-- the manager is a miracle worker :) He's super fun and friendly-- even let me try their hot sauce bc I love my food spicy. Try their home-made hot sauce-- it is delicious!! You can buy it for home too. Now for the dishes: You cannot leave here without the pho-- holy cow it's delicious! Their spring rolls are legit. Made with love, light and crispy flakes followed by the stuffing moistened by the fish sauce. The rice dishes are very filling. They're balanced with meat and veggies. Nothing heavy or greasy-- must eat all of the crab cake/egg souffle cake slice too. Must go and I will def go again!

Have been seeing and hearing about this all over social media so when we were finally able to check it out since we were in the area. The restaurant is tucked away in the industrial side of Mississauga which makes it a bit harder to get to. It was still quite busy when we got there, just a little before dinner rush. I think we were greeted by the owner, he was very friendly and we were seated right away. The menu is pretty extensive and we ordered the bun bo hue and pho. 1) Bun bo hue It came fairly quickly after placing the order. The portion is pretty big despite what it looks like (the bowl looks small but it was deep). The soup was hot and the flavour was there, however, there was something quite missing compared to other ones I've tried. They were generous with the meat and I really liked the sausage. It was also not as spicy as I expected but it still had a kick to it. 4/5 2) Pho dac biet This one came with rare beef, beef balls, and beef shank. Also came right after ordering and was hot. The broth had a nice, clean taste and was packed with meat as well. I think I liked the pho more than the BBH but also have tried other places and found the broth to be a bit lacking in comparison. 4.5/5 Overall, it's a bit harder to get to this place so I might not go out of my way to try it again but would be willing to eat here if I'm ever around the area.

The restaurant is located in this warehouse district. As you enter this place, it makes you feel like you just travel to Vietnam with all the decoration and the music they were playing. Food is delicious. I ordered beef combination Pho and jellyfish salad. Both dishes was excellent. The staff will only seat you and grab the menu away. They won't greet you nor they will introduce themselves. You'll have a paper to write down your order and they'll come pick it up when you're ready. This will be my go to pho place next time I'm back in town

Just amazing all through out. We got short ribs pho, hu tieu my tho, clam-pork-perilla leaf stirfry, lotus root with pork belly salad, & their desserts (fruit-chia-grass jelly-ice cream thing & their version of affogato using Viet coffee). Oh my, these dishes were just so unique and flavorful that nothing could really compare. All of them were executed with passion. I thought some of the exotic ingredients may be way out there but their complex flavor profiles just worked so well! My favorite was actually the clam-pork-perilla leaf stir fry with peanuts and sesame crackers. It was fragrant, deeply savory with a little kick & crunch. My husband loved the short rib pho. He said the broth was a tad sweet and herby. The meat was very tender & flavorful. And the desserts were unforgettable! Service was courteous and fast. The restaurant was packed with people but we didn't wait in line. It was quite spacious. The decor was notably creative too. Thus far best food I've had in Canada.

Possibly the best Vietnamese food I've ever eaten. Plus, the service and ambiance were both outstanding. Will surely be returning on my visit to the area.

Found this place on yelp and it did not disappoint. Was leery about the location in an industrial area, but everything about it was fantastic. Great food with big portions, friendly staff and service was quick.

We decided to drive 45 mins to try out this place since it's the long weekend and this place showed up as one of the most reviewed and highest rated restaurants in Mississauga. We thought we were getting an early dinner and therefore didn't expect that the restaurant was already full!!! It was before 6!!! That gives us some confidence that it's gonna be worth the drive. We ordered a medium rare beef pho, a bo bun hue, and a chicken with deep fried sticky coconut rice. The bill came out to be around $65 all in with cash discount. All dish were good and there were so many more on the menu that we wanted to try, like those platter with shrimp cracker, pad Thai, chicken wings etc. maybe next time. The rare beef pho was good. The broth is flavorful and has some sweetness to it. Tho nothing stand out with The noodles and beef and the rare beef actually wasn't rare enough, already all cooked when arrived. The bo bun hue was good. Tbh this is my first time trying it so I don't have a comp. The portion is very generous with a variety of beef and pork even pork blood. The Vietnamese sausage is special it has strong black pepper flavor to it. There's so much meat I was able to have some meat each bite through the whole bowl of noodles. The chicken with deep fried sticky rice was good too. I don't know if you are supposed to eat the two together but each on their own were good. The sauce on the side brings out the taste of the coconut rice. I think overall it's a good restaurant to try with some food item that's not usually offered at a regular Vietnamese restaurant so it's quite special. Price was reasonable with generous portion. Service wise it is fair, not stellar but at least not like rude.

After playing a competitive game of doubles pickleball, we had a hunger that can only be satisfied by pho on a cool day. This place is inconspicuous but opens up to a beautiful dining room. The decor is lively. The food even better. There are street food served after 5pm. Too bad we came to early to try. The pho broth was no overwhelming but savory. I had the rice vermicelli with spring rolls and pork chops. Not dry and not overly sweet, the pork chops were very juicy. The spring rolls were bigger then some places and fried nicely. This is a place I would definitely make a regular

Great little find, thanks Yelp!! We just landed in Toronto, cane from Iceland and craving Asian food, maybe soup pho. I searched yelp and voila. Haven't been to T.O since I was a teen. No idea where we were going. Its 8pm dark and lots of snow on the ground. Google took us to some industrial place. Found it easy enough. Parking was packed. So we knew it would be good. No problem getting seated, it was a large restaurant. I went to the bathroom walked by other tables food looked great. We ordered P1 - large house special pho, spring rolls, and pad thai. Food was great and big portions! Fast service. Friendly. Highly recommended this place if you're in the area. It hit the spot!

Its been a while since we've had Vietnamese food and since we were in Mississauga in the afternoon, I remembered hearing how great Pho Ngoc Yen was, so we decided to pay a visit. We had a choice to choose between their older location on Kamoto Dr., or their new location near Sherway Gardens. But we assumed that Kamoto Dr is such an industrial area that out of the two locations it would be less busy. O boy, were we wrong! We arrived before 6pm and it was FULL inside. We waited maybe 10 mins to be seated. While waiting, lots more people were coming in looking for a table. I had 10 mins to look around while waiting, so a couple of observations. Decor seems a bit old, kitschy, and maybe even a bit gaudy. Personal opinion. And theres not much of a reception area for you to wait. So if you have to wait for a table, theres a very high chance you will have to wait outdoors. Once we got seated, the tables were VERY close together. You essentially feel like you are sharing a table with random strangers. So that made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Menu wise, they have way more options than the typical pho place. In fact their pho selection i found to be quite small, but has the staples. Theres a lot more dishes that I don't recognize than I do, but that's what makes it fun. The menu has many pictures so you know what to expect when ordering. I ordered a pho, a clam and perilla leaf dish (recommended by someone I follow on IG), pork chop and chicken broken rice, and a chia grass jelly dessert (also recommended from someone on IG). Pho was pretty standard I thought, but honestly I barely got to eat any of it, cuz my kids and husband inhaled it. I did notice that the ratio of meat to noodles was high. Almost like there was more meat than noodles (i'm not complaining i swear). Pork chop and chicken broken rice, portion looked good, a pork chop, a chicken thigh, fried egg and bowl of rice. But what was different than other Vietnamese places is they have the Vietnamese egg too. My kids looked kinda scared of it but once they had a bite they loved it. Again barely ate this dish because my kids inhaled it. What i did get to eat was the clam and perilla leaf dish. I think it was stir fried clams, ground pork and perilla leaves served with crunchy rice crackers. Textures were amazing! What i wish i knew was that it was a bit spicy. The kids couldn't handle the spice. My favourite though was desert. I didn't think that chia seeds, grass jelly, fresh fruit, and ube ice cream would work but it was so refreshing! I could eat bowls and bowls of this.

It was a lot bigger than I thought. The food was pretty tasty. The portions were a good size. The staff was friendly. The price was reasonable, if I'm in the area. I would go back again.

TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASTE! Find this gem located near 401 & Dixie, in the middle of an industrial area. The food is bursting with flavour, and every bite just keeps giving you more! IMO, this is one place not-to-miss in Mississauga. Try it for yourself!

My wife and I had a great time in this Vietnamese restaurant! This was also a fun experience finding this restaurant. This restaurant is located at the area like an industrial area so it's very dark after sunset. When we arrived at the parking lot next to the restaurant, it was so dark that we even thought google Maps took us to the wrong place! We finally found the building glimmering in the dark. We were also surprised that it was so crowded! Seems like a lot of people went there by following the Yelp reviews. We both ordered pho because it was our first time and pho is the most iconic dish for a Vietnamese restaurant. If you want to know if a Vietnamese restaurant does things right, just order pho first. I'm not Vietnamese so I don't know if it's authentic. Whatever, they're really tasty. The beef slices were very fresh and tender. The rice noodle had the perfect hardness. And the hot sauce was pretty hot but not too spicy to burn your stomach. All in all, I really enjoyed the food there. I'll definitely come back for the next time and I'll try other different dishes.

Wow haven't been here in a minute! We came here around lunar new year and it felt quite festive! We got seated relatively quickly around 7:30pm on a Sunday. The menu is quite extensive and you mark down the items you want on a piece of paper. We ended up getting the spring rolls to share. I got the rare beef and beef ball pho (medium size). My partner got a dish recommended by our friend. It was grilled chicken with fried coconut sticky rice. Surprisingly my pho arrived last haha. The soup base is great as usual and there were a lot of meat. Noodle portion was decent. The spring rolls were so hard to grab with chopsticks. I liked the filling and the different textures inside. We really enjoyed then sticky rice. It was slightly sweet from the coconut milk and the crunch was nice. The chicken was grilled well and flavoured well. Can not wait to come back and get this again!
