Vietnam Noodle Star has been a staple at the Finch and Midland Plaza for as long as I can remember. My family doctor used to be in the building next door so I've been coming here as long as I can remember.
The one thing I like about this location is the ability to pick which toppings go in your pho. Almost every other pho place let's you do this. You can pick between 1-3 toppings for every bowl. The prices are pretty fair for the portions you get. They also have a lot of rice dishes here which are very well done. I do like the curries they have here when I'm not feeling noodles.
This place has a ton of seating which works for it and against it sometimes. Because of the large amount of seating and the quick turnover time for pho, you rarely have to wait too long for a table even when it's super busy. They do have a lot of staff on hand, but when it gets really busy it can be tough getting help. I've had to wait 15 minutes once just to pay my bill. It was like they were daring me to dine and dash. lol.
Overall, this is a very solid pho place to go when you have that craving. I won;t go as far as to say it's the best, but it's pretty darn good.
