I hate writing bad reviews - especially for a restaurant that I actually quite enjoy eating at, but this past Tuesday, we found a cockroach in my son's Pho. When writing a review for Google, I read through all the 1 star reviews and see...that others had found roaches in their pho from over a year ago! Just want to make sure people know what they're getting into before they go. If you're a restaurant owner and you know you have a roach problem, you need to deal with it - apparently one year later they still haven't! So disgusting. I now have an aversion to pho in general.More

I come to this place as an alternative with my friend. Place is clean. You have to write the number of the item you would like to eat in the given sheet to be given to staff. They have a lot of choices in their...menu. Food is good. Paying is at the counter.More

Tried the new Pho Dui Bo. One thumb up for taste and and a half thumb for service. Service - immediately upon being seated a waiter brought us waters. Love it when you don't have to ask. Throughout our meal a polite smiley waitress refilled...and refilled again our plastic clear cups. After waters, a waiter was at our booth asking if we had ever been here before to which we answered no, and went on to explain how Pho Dui Bo operates. You scroll through the many pictures on the iPad and choose (plus sign) your meal of choice which is then added to your cart. Once you've completed your cart with your party's selections, you press send. The waiter receives your order, sends this to the kitchen and in a few minutes, it really wasn't long at all, our 2 shrimp rolls with peanut delish dippig sauce - with actual peanut pieces (red flag to allergies) was delivered in a small-sized teardrop white dish. I love white dishes. It emphasizes the food's textures and vibrant colours. Then our main dishes: .one big bowl of noodles, vegetables, onions, greens, beef and one roll. The beef was tender and flavourful, the spring roll was crunchy, light and tasty. The other dish in a large-sized teardrop: tofu, carrots, bok choy, broccoli over long thin noodles. The sauce was oily and super slippery....the plastic on-the-table chopsticks didn't work well and we had to resort to using a fork! Good tasting but did use the peanut sauce from the appetizer! Filling meals for a reasonable price satisfied this party. One "pho pas": after paying our bill and had the table cleared, the waiter who initially brought us to our table brought us waters and proceeded to ask if we'd like to order. Hmph!More

Was craving Thai and found this little jem. Place was busy and a lot of take-outs happening. Food was tasty and portions were huge! Could have share one dish, but ordered 2 and had the left-over for breakfast.

This review is for the location at Upper James and Mohawk. I guess that the service is so poor it doesn't even come up in a search here. Walked in to celebrate a family member's birthday. It was a Friday evening and the place was...not teaming with people (that should have been a red flag). With that said, we still stood around forever to get served. We were ushered to a seat after about 15 minutes waiting and wondering what was happening. The waiter came and took the orders and there was no offer of water or drink while we wait. waited for what seemed to be forever before a server stumbled by with the food. We started the meal and almost in unison said "we should not be here". We never got pass about 5 mouthfuls we all looked at each other and said lets go. We called for the tab, paid the bill and left the table decked with the plates of food. It was greasy, salt, blaah...someone would have to chain me up to get me enter that establishment again. I cant find anything good to say about this establishment...which is bad, I always try and find at least one positive thing to say, but I couldn't find anything.More

Overcooked and flavourless. Left most of it. Bland and unapealing. Just awful sludge. The tea was OK.

Food was delicious - it was our first time eating at this establishment - decor was what we expected. Food came quick after ordering. Like it so much we picked up two entrees the very next day.

Used to be better, but really comes down to how you order. If not familiar with Pho then go somewhere else. If you know how to order then ask for fresh, or just customize your order. As for the Pad tai review I agree ketchup...is just lazy. They do make a decent one so perhaps it was a one off, as in no sauce left. The Pho itself is usually ok, but do order the way you want. Drinks here are a waste of time, powder shakes and weak tea's Point in case, you get what you pay for. Average mid range food, thus the priceMore

I used to eat here more often and its usually good. I ordered chicken pad thai and I had the runs all night and felt terrible the next day. So not everything they serve is exactly fresh.
