Pho Metro is a small chain of Vietnamese restaurants that is Vietnamese run and owned. The Lawrence and Warden Ave location in Scarborough is the original location. I have been going on and off to this location for quite a few years and I can honestly say that's it's pretty difficult to find good authentic Vietnamese in the east end of the city. Many but not all of the Vietnamese restaurants in the east end are usually Chinese owned and run and the pho is usually MSG heavy and they don't offer a lot of variety in terms of dishes on the menu. Pho Metro is one of the exceptions.
Over the years, I have tried many of the dishes at Pho Metro and they were all quite good but I'll focus on my normal order which is a medium Pho Dac Biet ($8.45 plus tax) which is essentially the pho special that comes with raw beef, tripe, tendon and beef balls. The noodles are cooked perfectly and the broth is excellent with minimal msg. Nice strips of raw beef. The tripe, tendon and beef balls were standard.
If you are looking for a good authentic Vietnamese restaurant in the east end, I would definitely recommend Pho Metro. It's probably one of the best in the east end, if not the best.The service is standard for a Vietnamese restaurant and the restaurant is quite clean. The prices aren't cheap and a little on the high end for Scarborough but the quality is there.
