Phosome

I recently dined at Phosome, and there were some pros and cons to my experience. On the plus side, the portions were big, the staff was friendly, and the food itself earned a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars. I must say, their banh mi sandwich and pho were exceptionally tasty, and the prices were quite reasonable. However, on the downside, cleanliness seemed to be a bit of an issue. There were lots of flies buzzing around, and I couldn't help but notice some hygiene concerns. One of the staff members was wearing latex gloves while cleaning, but then she dipped her fingers into the pho bowl, touching the soup, and later touched dirty furniture while moving tables. It left me a bit uneasy. Despite this, I'd give Phosome a solid 4 out of 5 overall. The food is good enough to tolerate the other quirks, but it's definitely not an upscale dining experience, and the interior could use some improvement, earning it a 3 out of 5 in that department.

Really appreciated the presence of a vegan menu. Tried udon and pad thai: both very tasty and portions are more than generous . Prices are reasonable.Food: 4/5

The food was good overall, I like the spring roll. I had pho special and some of the tendons were very hard. Very nice and kind staff. 4 stars because of the pricing, it was a bit pricey but understandable though. $18 pho + $7.50 spring roll. Will definitely come back.Food: 4/5

The oxtail sate pho was FIRE. Definitely one of my favourite pho dishes, and the portion sizes were really good! I asked for it to be mild as it’s usually pretty spicy. Note that oxtail meat is on bones and is a little less than I was expecting. The seating arrangement in the summer with the window open was a nice touch!Food: 5/5

It’s very difficult to find vegan options are Vietnamese restaurants, so finding this gem was perfect for my girls day food adventure! The staff here were so incredibly friendly and attentive. The menu, although small in comparison to a typical viet menu, had all the the right options! I ordered the shrimp and pork salad roll, as well as the steamed chicken pho. My friend is the vegan, not myself Portions were perfect, food was fresh, and the flavour was sooooo good. I almost always add hot sauce and oyster sauce to my pho from the beginning but I found myself finishing half my bowl before adding any flavours! While I did not have the vegan pho, the feedback from my friend was incredibly positive, and boy were they happy this option existed. Prices were reasonable for the portion sizes. Looking forward to trying their Bahn mi in the future too!

I ordered it because the review were good among the various pho restaurants. I drank a lot yesterday, so I need a hangover, so it was perfect. It was filled with meat and the soup taste is so good. I will eat again !!!

This is a fantastic place to eat and chat. The food is spectacular and the prices are reasonable for the quality of the food I love this placeFood: 5/5

Excellent vegan and non vegan options. I ordered vegan pho, it’s got lots of ingredients and the broth is moderate spicy, a mouth full of lemongrass zesty flavouring with authentic Vietnamese herbs. Nice open window seating area, friendly staffs.

Very cozy vibe sitting in restaurant. Well decorated and spacious atmosphere. Incredible vegetable spring rolls! So crispy and full of flavour - the sauce was good too. Ordered the vermicelli bowl with grilled pork and it was nice. I wasn’t sure about the type of bowl initially, but it actually made it really easy to stir and eat from. Loved the presentation too! Can’t wait to come back again soon.

Great indoor dining setting with trendy music playing. Great selection for vegans and vegetarians which is a major plus from me. I was able to try the vermicelli meal and the rice plate and it was amazing! So full of flavour and great portions for the price. My only knock on the meals is that there are too many different sauces/styles of tofu for the rice meal and it throws off the taste for me but it’s still very good.
