I don't get a chance to frequent this place as much as I would like to since the pho is pretty good and the fact that I live in the east end of the city. Quite a few people in the Vietnamese community feel they have the best pho in Toronto behind Pho Tien Thanh on Ossington Ave. Yes Pho Dau Bo is a chain but this particular location is run and owned by a Vietnamese family and not Chinese owners which usually makes a significant difference in the authenticity and quality of food.
I normally get a large Pho Dac Biet (special) for $6.50 and an avocado shake for $3.00.
The broth is excellent, the noodles are not bad, pretty consistent, never undercooked or overcooked. The quality of meat is good, thinly sliced and slightly rare and not covered in fat. The tendon quality is also nice. You also get a fair quantity of meat and noodles. The accompanying vegetable plate always has fresh bean sprouts, mints, lime and sawtooth herb.
Service: The service is decent, nothing bad or exceptional which is pretty common for most Vietnamese restaurants and the food comes out pretty quickly depending on what your ordering.
Decor: Minimal decor, washrooms are clean and ample seating.
Pricing: It's pretty cheap compared to many other Vietnamese restaurants in Toronto especially for the quality and quantity you are receiving. I don't think they have raised their prices in years which is great for customers.
