Here are the best Vietnamese restaurants in Toronto.

Golden Turtle

This Ossington mainstay has developed a cult following for its delicious salad rolls, satays and steaming bowls of noodle soup. The beef noodle soup is the main attraction, but efficient service, cheap bottles of Tiger beer and a side patio add to its appeal.

Pho Tien Thanh

Also on Ossington, this pho joint has long rivaled its Golden neighbour and is the source of many feuds amongst pho enthusiasts. Beefy broth that comes swimming with rice noodles is the specialty, just be sure to bring cash.

Pho Linh

There's lots to like at this Brockton Village eatery. In addition to the usual range of noodle soups, find ample alternatives, including steamed rice cakes and rolls, fried chicken and vermicelli dishes loaded with grilled pork and sausages.

Hanoi 3 Seasons

Bun Bo Hue (beef soup) is the specialty from Hanoi 3 Seasons in Leslieville. Standouts on the menu include calamari patties with dill soup, Hanoi-style grouper and spicy baby clams served with crispy rice crackers.

Pho Vietnam

The menu at this contemporary Scarborough noodle house bills more than just frangrant bowls of beef noodle soup. In addition to pho, look forward to comforting congee, oxtail soup, rice cakes, summer rolls and more.

Pho Dau Bo

This Vietnamese destination in North York serves up pho with big handfuls of bean sprouts, lime wedges and fresh herbs. Grab an order of the famous beef noodles then beef it up (pun intended) with add-ons like rare beef, soft tendon, meatballs or brisket.

Pho Metro

This pho joint serves the quintessential noodle soup along with a wide variety of rice paper rolls, savoury pancakes, grilled meats on rice, steamed vermicelli, and more. Not sure where to start? Try the shrimp paste on sugar cane.

Pho Ga Banh Cuon

Pho on St. Clair Avenue West is available with beef or chicken broth. Thanh Tri-style steamed rolls are also noteworthy. Order the steamed rice flour rolls stuffed with sausage or savoury ground pork.

Pho Hung

Follow the laughing cow marquee into this Chinatown institution for hearty bowls of broth filled with rice noodles and loaded with rare and well done beef, tripe and tendon. Aside from noodle soups, expect to find fruit smoothies and rice dishes loaded with BBQ pork and egg.
