Pho Ngoc Yen Restaurant

Located a little out of the way in an industrial complex, this is definitely as other reviewers have said, a hidden gem. Very tasty food, and some unique offerings that I’ve never tried before at a Vietnamese restaurant! Service is also quick and attentive, and I could overheard some staff happily conversing with some regulars at another table about their families as well. It feels like this restaurant is well established in the area, especially as the parking lot seemed to be filled mainly for this restaurant alone! Would definitely recommend and come back again!

Hands down best aesthetics and decor for a Vietnamese restaurant. It is authentic, servers are in dress shirts, polite staff and they even sell some Vietnamese food items up front. If you pay cash, you get a slight discount. Note, you do have to go up front to pay. The vermicelli was really good! Decent portions, great flavours and amazing presentation. Everything was perfected. The mango salad was flavourful with a hint of sourness to it. It is a bit on the pricier side relative to other Vietnamese restaurants but definitely worth the price. Would come back again to try their other dishes next time! It is my favourite Vietnamese restaurant in the GTA now.

Easily top 3 or possibly the best Vietnamese restaurant in town. Ambience gives you somewhat of an authentic Vietnamese dining experience, and the two times I’ve been I received good service, so no complaints there. Ordered my favourite—the Grilled Chicken. Almost perfect, except I had to pay extra for the soup on the side, which I would get for free at most Vietnamese restaurants, and the tea, I had to pay extra for that too—again, free at most Vietnamese restaurants. The food was slightly pricier than the norm, but I would go again because of the flavours, quality and presentation. It’s just, as much as I would love to give it five stars, I can’t because of the cons I’ve mentioned. Edit: my apologies as the tea I was charged extra was at another restaurant. I have added one more well-deserved star.

The first time we had got a take out and loved the food and so today we tried dine in and believe me the food quality was just as great. The servers are very courteous and your Vaccination and ID are both checked so be assured you are in a safe environment. Was surprised how busy this place was at 1600 hrs! Food came pretty quickly. the beef broth soup was just amazing. The fried calamari with the sauce was just perfect and so were the other two dishes. The helpings are a pretty decent size and prices just right. Loved the ambiance and the xMas decor! Only thing which I had a grievance about is the tea is never really hot even though we requested for a hot pot!

So good! Every item I've tried so far has been delicious. Service is great and friendly, it's always a pleasure to eat here. Fair portion sizes for the price. The decor and food presentation is on point as well. I love bringing my friends here, can't wait until the next time I'm back!

Vietnamese cuisine that’s a cut above the rest! yummy food that’s a feast for the eyes as well as the palate, friendly, fast and excellent customer service even the line ups move fast. Might be a tad more pricey but the whole experience is worth it! -pho is perfect: not too salty or oil or sweet -mango salad: have had better elsewhere but they sure give you a lot -dish that had little bits of clam: never seen offered elsewhere, would not have ordered myself but our guest chose it and it was amazing!

This Vietnamese restaurant had such a nice ambiance, which is rare for this cuisine. Typical Pho places are quick dine and go, but you can really enjoy your time here. Food was high quality and also quantity was good. To top it all off service was top notch. All in all, would highly recommend

Not only is this place beautiful to be in but the food is absolutely scrumptious too! I know I know the plastic cup for vietnamese coffee is usually a bad sign but I think it tasted really good! Mango papaya salad - awesome maybe a bit too much basil for my taste but that's preference. Pho of course delicious and quite clean. Vermicelli with assorted sides - loved it. If you're nearby, I would recommend on ambience alone :

Went here for lunch today, some of the best spring rolls I’ve had in my life. Amazing broth, not too salty. Great meats, noodles, and portion. Really clean place with amazing and friendly service and wonderful ambience inside. The owner was also super friendly and told me about their special and extensive ‘bar’ menu that sets them aside from other places which includes some delicious and authentic Vietnamese dishes. I can’t recommend this place enough and can’t wait to come back. 5/5.

Amazing experience at this authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Hidden gem in an industrial area. Owner/manager was very welcoming and friendly. Delicious unique dishes along with delicious pho broth and flavours. 50km drive well worth it
