This was my very first time visiting dear Saigon and it definitely won't be my last . Today was their grand opening and they had free pho for the first customers plus buy one get one offers. The interior is cozy with ample seating. There was a steady of flow people waiting to try their delicious food. The Dear Saigon Pho was phenomenal 10/10. The broth was amazing and the tower so photogenic. The chicken pad Thai was an enormous portion and so flavorful. This was my first time having a Coconut Pandan Latte. This was an absolute knockout. Best drink I've had in quite some time; Highly recommend!

Visited during lunch time, bit packed. Got seated quickly, ordered a vermicelli dish and a drink, the server was kind enough to point out the lunch combo with my existing order and extra wrapped beef for a cheaper price. The drink is creamy and refreshing, grilled meat is seasoned perfectly, fish sauce is a bit sour than usual for this dish, but overall authentic and tasty. The price is a quite steep for lunch (29 after tax), but portion is good. Beautiful decorations, would come back again. Also they don't take Amex. ordered: bun cha ha noi, pandan cloud, wrapped beef

This location was opened for couple weeks. We came to give a try (and no need to drive all the way up to Richmond hill for it). The restaurant is bright and tables are not too closed to each other, so you don’t feel uncomfortable. However, the two trays on table for sauce, chopsticks and so on take a quarter of the width of the table. To the food, first impression was the plate and bowls are huge. But it doesn’t mean the portion is huge. It has lot of soups and covered up all noodles and meats. Only one size for noodle soups, and it is similar to the large size in some other pho restaurants (but with an XL bowl). Favour is ok. Will feel thirsty afterward due to MSG. The rice dish is good. The chicken is juicy. The vermicelli is not bad, but it has way too many onion than the beef. Spring roll looks a bit small on the huge plate. May come back again but this kind of newer Vietnamese restaurants opened everywhere now (and keep opening). One last thing, I have noticed that their floor is a bit sticky, may be only tonight. If you notice that, just be careful .

Amazing food, friendly staff, and great vibes. The grilled pork vermicelli was delicious and fresh. Service was quick and super polite. Bonus points for the music, really cool playlist!

First time trying this pho place and it did not disappoint. It’s on the pricier side but well worth it. Their broth is tasty and there is enough meat! They have huge servings so one bowl of Pho can be shared by two people. The customer service is amazing and they have huge selection of drinks to choose from. If you pay cash there is 5% discount. Highly recommend.
