What to Order
Beef Pho
This is the star of the show, featuring a rich, deeply flavorful broth that's been simmered properly, tender beef, and fresh noodles.
"If you’re looking for one of the best bowls of beef pho in Toronto, Pho Tien Thanh absolutely delivers. The broth is the star — rich, deeply flavorful, and perfectly balanced without being overly salty."

Rare Beef Pho
A classic choice, this pho highlights thinly sliced rare beef that cooks in the hot, clean, and deeply flavorful broth.
"I order the rare beef and lightly fatty meat pho every time, and it has a clean yet deeply flavorful taste that I haven’t been able to find at any other restaurant."

Crispy Pork Spring Rolls
These spring rolls are perfectly golden and crunchy on the outside with a juicy interior, making them an essential appetizer.
"Pro tip: Do NOT skip the crispy pork spring rolls. They’re perfectly golden, crunchy on the outside, juicy inside, and pair incredibly well with the dipping sauce. Honestly, they’re a must-order every time."

Vermicelli Bowl
A satisfying noodle dish that offers a lighter alternative to pho, often served with grilled meats and fresh vegetables.
"My favourite, Pho, broken rice, and vermicelli are all here."

Coconut Drink

"The best in the city. Also the coconut drink is IMPECCABLE"
