Food was disappointing, portion was small and the staff was very very rude. No eye contact(she was rolling her eyes when we asked for spoons), lazy and almost splashed hot broth on our table. Won’t be returning and we don’t recommend it to anyone.

The king! This place is so close to my house I could crawl there in 5 minutes. OK maybe not that long, but close enough. The staff is very friendly and is a family owned restaurant from what it seems. They are fluent in English, Cantonese and mandarin so everyone is welcomed! The phở here is amazing! It’s a good price, good size and delicious! They also have many other viet dishes, but I haven’t tried yet. Safe to say it’s probably quite bomb! Last note the milkshakes hmmmm. They are so good! Definitely must try avocado milkshake! The parking lot can get a bit packed since it shares with the plaza. So be careful depending when you go!

Decided to grab some phở since we were in the area, and hadn’t had viet food in a while so we thought why not. The place was clean, and the service was prompt which is always a plus(although we were the only ones there, so…). Anyway, the food was fine but the low rating is due to what another reviewer echoed, at that was there was HAIR in both of our meals. The bf found eyelashes — not just 1 eyelash, but eyelashes plural — in his phở, and I had the lovely honor of finding a greying hair in my vermicelli, follicle still attached YUM. So eat here at your own risk if you have no other choices. I will not be back, not until their kitchen staff get with the times and wear hairnets or something.

For being around the most chinese based areas in Toronto/Markham region, you can’t expect much from this place. It’s located in Metro Square and one of many chinese run phở places in the north side of Toronto. It is however the only place in the north area that sells Bun Rieu oddly enough. I can barely find that in the west end where it is predominantly viets. The staff wear shirts that say«Phở King» on it but with a burger king logo. Parking at the plaza is not enjoyable at all. It’s small, crammed and filled with bad chinese drivers… i can say this because i’m asian myself haha! Food is tasty, hot and price is fair. Service is quick and so is the wait time for your food. You do get a bit thirsty though but that is nothing bubble tea can’t fix next door. Either way i would still come back if i don’t have high expectations. It is not bad nor is it spectacular.

I’ve been here quite a few times. When I first began to dine here, I always thought the food was great. However, the recent TWO times(in a time span of 6 months), there was a nasty piece of hair with GUNK on it. BOTH times. Disgusting! I made sure it was a piece of hair by examining it. No matter how good the food is, you cannot overcome that fact, especially if it has happened more than once. Told the owner the first time, they did not even care.

There are many reasons to like this place; be it the blatant infringment on the Burger King logo, the clever name of the restaurant(Phở is pronounced«fuh»), or the actual food. Either way, you’re going to a solid Vietnamese restaurant in a town littered with them. Phở King is a nice small restaurant located in the Metro Square on Steeles near Warden Ave. The place itself is rather nice inside. It’s small but it works. The service is very friendly and the menu listings offer a good variety of Vietnamese options. Prices are a tad higher than most other places in the vicinity, but nothing crazy here. I ordered my usual grilled meats platter, this time opting with Grilled Pork AND Grilled Chicken with rice.(Also got Shredded Pork because Im fat). The threesome cost me under $ 10 which is a damn dirty price for a threesome if you ask me. The meats were very tender and were perfectly grilled with that bit of char that only someone like me can love. The size of the meats… eh. They could have been bigger, but the meat quality definitely made up for it. The salad was… not really a salad, but I don’t care for them anyways. The phở is huge. Now, most places have bowls of phở that size, but I felt like it was filled to the brim with meaty and noodle-y(not a word) goodness. Packed with meats and veggies, the bowl could probably feed two. The size of the bowl is enough to make you feel manly, except for the fact that my girlfriend ordered it and I’m here complaining about the size of my meats… I wish I could say this was the«Fuh King» best thing I’ve ever had, but it was just merely solid. Definitely worth a visit, even if it’s just for giggles with your Vietnamese food. I’m apparently 5 years old.

Pros: –Nice & clean décor compared to many other phở places –Portion size is above average, good value for money –Good meat to noodle ratio –Choice of fresh or dry noodles if you ask Cons: –Mediocre broth: they skimped on the phở spices while trying to over compensate by using MSG& salt –Sub standard meat quality, it was clearly frozen and therefore drier and tougher than fresh meat I had high hopes going to this place after reading reviews, but honestly it’s below average. If it weren’t for the décor & portion size, I would’ve given it 1 star.

Been on a real Vietnamese kick recently trying a few around my area and I picked this one because of the name. Just like people say, the bowls are nice and big and the food was nice and tasty. The meat to noodle ratio could be better but I left satisfied. The staff are fast and friendly and parking is ok but far from perfect.

Phở King has shrunk their bowl sizes from times past but they are still very large. Good Phở and spring rolls. Place is nice and clean.

Phở King Vietnamese Cuisine has a really strange menu… aside from the usual Vietnamese Phở, Bun or whatever… it is the first Vietnamese restaurants I been to offering Mala(numbing spicy) lamb noodle soup?! And there are quite a few lamb dishes on the menu too… But coming here as a first timer, it is hard for me not to stay with my usual choice at a Phở joint? I will leave those lamb dishes for the more adventurous type! Special House Phở Small($ 5.75) — The broth was nicely seasoned and with a hint of herbs and anise — Beef/Meat was plentiful, the tendon was especially tender — Noodle was the fresh type — Size wise the portion is more like a medium in a lot of places! This used to be Phở All and now is Phở King… I sometimes get really confused myself where I am «phở“ing!
