Last Friday, I ordered a General Tao poutine & I didn't like everything. This is one of the most disgusting poutines I've ever eaten because the chicken was REALLY dry compared to the other restaurant that offers the same type of poutine. I don't understand why it looked appetizing on the menu. I spent about $25 for this nasty thing
we arrived 30 mins before close & were still greeted with smiles & welcomes. the staff was extremely friendly & welcoming & our waitress michel was just amazing & super patient. she explained the menu to us like 7 times & & helped us choose since it was our first time trying this place. the pho was warm & flavorful & the chicken & rice were very well seasoned & cooked, the sandwich was fullll of chicken. everything was absolutely delicious & affordable. i'm so happy with my experience & will definitely go again.
I am very disappointed in their chicken soup. The broth tastes like it was not made fresh but from a pre-made powder. If I wanted pre-made soup, I would just buy it from the supermarket.
Too bad, their poutine & the pho is good, but the chicken soup is not fresh & very expensive for what it offer. I won't order the chicken soup again & I am sadly put off from ordering the other tasty menu items.
I ordered the spring rolls & vermicelli with shrimp & chicken. The spring rolls were fresh & crunchy. The main courses were well presented even in the round takeout containers & were well cooked & fresh. I highly recommend the food here.
Delicious poutine! Perfect fries, delicious cheese & freshly fried general tao chicken. I loved the hip ambiance & the great service. I'll come back for sure to let my friends enjoy the amazing Vietnamese food
I took the chicken & meat bowl & it didn't disappoint at all. Portions were tasty & very generous. The restaurant is clean & the servers are very nice. Best Vietnamese restaurant out there for sure. Not to mention the quick & efficient service too. 5 stars! :)

Pho Bep is a new Pho place that I just discovered. Here is my full opinion about it. Came here on a Tuesday at around 1:00PM. We ordered two phos one beef & one meatball & two spring rolls 2x with chicken. Pro: A) The broth was good & hot. It was too salty not too bitter. B) The Noodles were sufficient & enough. C) The beef balls Were good & delicious. D) The Spring rolls were good & delicious as well. With the peanut sauce it's just as good. F) The young girl that served us was good in Vietnamese, English & French. H) Service is decent when not busy. I) They have tons of options including poutine & rice plates. Cons: A) A little bit overpriced for my budget. B) There were no bean sprouts, Chilis & Lime with the pho which should be added as a side dish. C) Not enough green onions & white onions & beef balls there should be at least 20 but around 15. D) The restaurant is small so I could imagine on a busy night where people are gonna sit. Or do they just wait for a table? E) The service is alright but we need more employees & communication also people need to store their plates when finish rather than picking it up. All in all this restaurant is decent. I love that they have fusion dishes as well. Again the pho needs to have side dishes & they need to improve on communication have more employees & also more seating maybe. I hope to comeback & try it again sometime in the near future.

We visited a few times this spring/ summer (first time March 29th) & it was take out. It was good as take out so we came back to dining in. Best wonton soup I ate. The general Thai poutine was good. The chicken bowl with rice was very tasty. Good portions with a lot of meat!
