Pho Anh only sells delicious food with traditional Vietnamese flavor. Originating from a small Nam Vang Hu Tieu restaurant at 94 Nguyen Tri Phuong, Saigon, Vietnam, which was started in 1982 by a Cambodian refugee Pol Pot family. Pho Anh proudly sells only famous pure Vietnamese dishes with distinctive flavours, original display. Pho Anh first opened its doors to Canadian diners in August 2014 in Vaughan, Ontario. The perfect combination of unique Vietnamese cooking art in a cozy and clean space has allowed Pho Anh to gain the wide trust of the majority of diners.
Pho Anh appears in these reviews as a warm, family run spot known for authentic Northern Vietnamese pho with broth that simmers for days, homemade condiments, and fresh ingredients, and it offers vegetarian options with a broth prepared separately from meat stock; diners describe a rich, clean, deeply flavorful broth, generous portions, and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Service is consistently noted as friendly and attentive, with explanations on how to enjoy each dish and occasional personalized recommendations, though busy evenings can bring slower service and seating challenges. The menu extends beyond pho to include items like bun cha, vermicelli dishes, spring rolls, crispy wings, and Vietnamese coffee, all described as well made and reasonably priced, with many reviews praising the authenticity and northern style as distinct from standard pho. The overall impression emphasizes care, tradition, and hospitality, with many diners stating they would return or recommend to friends; occasional comments about kitchen speed or balance of garnishes are outweighed by praise for the broth, the flavors, and the genuine warmth of the staff.
A man, who I assume was the restaurant's owner, was incredibly kind, informative, & clearly passionate about his place.
He came over to give us a little history about pho & its different varieties as well as welcoming us.
I've never tried pho before because it's been hard to find vegetarian-friendly options. The owner let us know that not only did they have vegetarian choices, but the broth is also made completely separate from anything containing meats.
I really appreciated that! It was delicious, satisfying, & definitely something I'll enjoy again.
If your looking for a truly authentic food experience, look no further. The food was delicious & very authentic. It's not your typical pho flavours you are use too. It is very good, do not get me wrong, just not your typical pho taste. This is a million times better than. Highly recommend the chicken wings & Shrimp rolls.
Absolutely breathtaking, spectacular, & high-quality food I've ever had. This is the place to come for a cozy, warm, & filling meal. It's truly authentic with amazing service. I will be recommending this place to all of my friends & family!!
This was our third visit, & once again, we had such a lovely experience. Besides the delicious food, we especially came back to see Ms. Ngoc - a truly friendly, warm, & lovely server - who often worked in dayshift. Her kindness & positive energy really make a difference & are hard to find elsewhere. We hope to see her back again soon. Such a great team!
Called about 20 minutes ahead for a group of 4. When we arrived, the place was packed - full house - & yet we were seated immediately with no wait. That alone deserves a mention.
This was actually my fourth visit, & it continues to deliver. Ordering was quick, the menu is simple & straight to the point, & the real star here is the food.
There was a new item on the menu: Mì Bò Kho - braised beef with egg noodles. Even with the restaurant being slammed, the food quality was solid & consistent. Their condiment tray is really good & honestly sets them apart from other pho spots - it elevates everything on the table.
One hiccup: one dish for our group of four was forgotten. After a quick reminder, it came out, & they kindly added a complimentary chè thanh nhi?t, which was a nice gesture & appreciated.
Yes, service was on the slower side - but given how busy it was, it was completely understandable.
The bill? Under $30 per person, taxes & tip included. Hard to beat.
Will I come back? Yes.
Do I recommend it? Absolutely.
My go-to recommendations:
Bún Bò Hu? (BBH)
Their tamarind spicy paste - don't skip it.
Solid spot, good value, & consistent food even under pressure.

Le bouillon était bon, mais j'ai été déçue du service & du reste du plat. Après nous avoir donné le menu & de l'eau, personne n'est revenu nous voir, nous avons dû aller à la caisse pour commander. Il n'y avait pas beaucoup de clients donc je ne comprends pas. Au moins, nous avons reçu nos plats rapidement. J'ai pris une soupe avec du boeuf saignant & de la poitrine de boeuf; j'ai trouvé la coupe du boeuf saignant assez épaisse & en petite quantité, & le boeuf sous vide avait beaucoup de gras. J'aurais aussi apprécié des fèves germées, mais on m'a dit que ce n'était pas possible puisque ça allait changer le goût (?), & que seulement certaines soupes en avaient. Dans tous les autres restaurants de Pho, je prends une commande similaire (boeuf saignant) & j'en ai toujours eu. Sur demande, j'aurais apprécié pouvoir en avoir, mais on m'a refusé. Je ne reviendrai pas :(
The pho is good, but the extra boiled egg suggested by the restaurant to add to your order is just alright, nothing out of this world. One drawback: waiting time. The service is slow, kitchen quite slow.
The restaurant isn't big, & seating is limited, but its popularity is undeniable. During peak dining hours, it's packed with people.
The beef bone broth is incredibly flavorful, not oily or greasy at all, & gets better with every sip! The noodles are also wonderfully smooth & delicious.
The owners make their own condiments: pickled chili peppers, pickled garlic, Sichuan peppercorn chili oil, etc. As long as you can handle spicy & salty flavors, the owner won't stop you from adding as much as you like!
