Pho King Fabulous! - Toronto

3.5 pretty good no complaints. nothing to rave about but pretty satisfiedwe had take out liked that the soup base wasnt overly greasy. portion wise a little

I recently moved into the Yonge and Eglinton area and as a pho fanatic, I went out to this location after reading some of the yelp reviews about this place.

Live in the neighbourhood so been meaning to try this spot for a few months now.

This Licensed restaurant is at 2411 Yonge, 2 ½ blocks north of Eglinton on the East side. Restaurant critic extraordinaire Joanne Kates rates it in the top 50 restaurants in Toronto where you spend a little. Pho is a Vietnamese rice-noodle soup, from which the restaurant derives its name. The signature dish is Phở Đặc Biệt (a fabulous savory Pho that’s been tested by the author) with rare and well-done beef and other ingredients in beef broth with noodles. They have a variety of mains with meat, seafood or vegetables in Pho or with rice or vermicelli. Each comes with bean sprouts, seasoned with basil and lime, on the side. And, there are lots of appetizers, extras and desserts if you are inclined.

I tried a curry dish at this restaurant that wasn't pho, but it tasted more like a Thai curry, which I enjoyed. The spring rolls weren't to my liking, and my friend's meal was better when reheated the next day. Overall, it was a decent meal, but nothing remarkable that would warrant going out of your way for it.
