Pho Ngoc Yen Restaurant

MY FAVORITE PHO PLACE! Staff are so so kind and owner is great! Pho is really good and would recommend their fruit and purple ice cream dessert. My favorite is their pad thai, everything is wonderfully plattered and very visually appealing. Honestly everything on the menu is pretty good and comes quickly. Atmosphere is super cute as well!!

Been here a few times. Our favourite Vietnamese restaurant. Authentic, generous in portion, and reasonably priced and always consistent. We are willing to travel 50 mins to this place since we live in different city but it worth the trip. Padthai, vermicelli with bbq chicken, beef salad and dessert, they’re all so good.

Unique interiors compared to most Vietnamese restaurants and the food was very authentic and well presented. You're paying a higher price but the service is splendid and every dish was perfectly made. They were also very knowledgeable about their kitchen allergens for our peanut allergy. The only comment I have would be that I was a bit disappointed that the Ca Phe Sua Nong (Hot Vietnamese Coffee with Condensed Milk) was served in a mug and all stirred before being brought to the table. I think for a restaurant like this, having the drip coffee filter and layered coffee and milk would be more suitable. Either way, we would return again as I want to try more of their dishes and nothing else disappointed!

Transport yourself to Vietnam in this cute and cozy restaurant—what a beautiful setting! And the menu is enticing with so so many choices. Vegetarians will fall in love with over a dozen choices of some unique dishes that are quite good (a bit on sweet side for our taste but flavourful!) the matcha with chia seeds and grass jelly was a delicious venture! This place is quite busy for a reason despite its location amongst the warehouses but sure attract lots of people! Lots of parking around the building.

The food and service were amazing! This was my first time actually having pho, so this really set the bar. To order, you just write what you want on a slip, and the server then takes it. We were a little confused initially, but the server was patient and explained the process and also offered helpful suggestions (like adding less noodles). We ordered the mango salad, BBQ chicken with rice cake, seafood pho and beef ribs pho. The seafood was my favorite but the beef ribs were fall off the bone soft. Both were delicious. Definitely a must try restaurant. They do get quite busy! We got in before the dinner rush.

We decided to check this place out because of the great reviews, and we’re glad we did! Even though the restaurant was pretty crowded, the service was super quick. Vietnamese food never disappoints, and they definitely did it justice 👌. The only downside is the odd location—it’s kind of in the middle of nowhere, so we can’t visit as often as we’d like.

Had a fantastic weekend lunch here, menu had a lot of variety with several unique dishes. As appetizers we had the chicken with fried rice cake which was amazing, and the mango salad which was good but standard. The large pho came with a generous amount of meat, and the broth was flavourful. We had the banana trio dessert which had a very cool presentation and was fun to share. Definitely the dessert to get. Service was friendly and had great answers to our questions. We were fortunate enough to get a table outside in lovely weather. Prices were very reasonable.

Hidden gem. The restaurant is a bit out of the way. In the area industrial area, but not far from a major roads and easy to get to. We arrived party of 5 on Sunday evening. Restaurant was full. We had to wait a bit to be seated, but restaurant staff very quickly and efficiently found us a table and we were seated very quickly. Food was delicious and unique. Many Vietnamese restaurants in out area serve same exact food, same menu, but this place and dishes I have not seen any where else, and even typical dishes had unique presentation. Staff was very helpful. Helped us to chose dishes best suited for us. We ordered too much and a lady show as taking the order (I thinks he was the owner) even recommended to remove one dish because we had more than enough. It's good to see a restaurant that prioritizes their customers and not trying to force you to buy for food to increase their profits. Overall very positive experience. Can't wait to go back.
