The Best Pho in Toronto

The best pho in Toronto is the perfect bowl of Vietnamese soup noodles. Complex flavours, especially in the bone broth, make up this dish that satisfies at all times of the day. Drop in a sprig of mint leaves or a whole plate of bean sprouts to take your bowl's delicate balance of flavours to the next level. 

Here's where to get the best pho in Toronto.

7 - Pho 90

<p>Weston Road's recent Vietnamese arrival is the newest contender to hit the list. The massive interior is matched only by the portions. Choose from nearly 15 phở options including chicken and vegan broth options and a version with chopped beef instead of sliced.</p>
8 - Pho Metro

<p>This family-run spot in Wexford has been luring people to the plaza for years with its comforting bowls of hearty, fragrant broth. It's only getting more popular by the year thanks to its generous portions and reasonable prices.</p>
11 - Que Ling

<p>East Chinatown's restaurant-in-a-house is the gem of the neighbourhood. Grab a rare beef pho or pho dac biet (the meat combo with tripe and brisket) and an obligatory side of banh cuon to eat on the porch.</p>
9 - Anh Dao

<p>This Chinatown staple makes like banh xeo like no other their phơ is nothing to sneeze at̉. Tony and Ashley Luu are running this second generation business and are continuing Tony's parents trade of making killer bowls of noodles.</p>
3 - Pho Tien Thanh

<p>It's cash only at this Ossington staple with the cotton candy-coloured motif. One of two major phở players on the strip, the decades-old debate over whose bowl is better continues. For now it appears the people have spoken.</p>
10 - Pho Anh Vu

<p>Head to this plaza joint on Dufferin Street for their huge bowls of Vietnamese soups with bouncy rice noodles. Expect a lineup during busy hours of people looking to dine in at this faux tree-decorated restaurant.</p>
6 - Pho Huong

<p>Find this modest restaurant in the Junction, where regulars flock for more than 17 choices of no-nonsense bowls of Vietnamese noodles and maybe some bo la lot. Prices are pretty good, there are a number of vegetarian options, plus service here is quick.</p>
4 - Golden Turtle

<p>Rua Vang, or as its known by its English name, Golden Turtle, has been serving up phở since 1987. It rarely as busy as its Ossington rival Pho Tien Thanh, meaning shorter wait times for their excellent soup noodles.</p>
5 - Pho Linh

<p>Great prices that have gone up only slightly over the years have warranted the deserved devotion of regulars at this College and Dufferin staple. You'll likely encounter a lineup on weekends here but turnover is quick.</p>
