This was our first visit to a Vietnamese restaurant. The waiter served us complimentary tea as soon as we sat down. He then went on to explain the menu. We both had "special meals" that were on the back page. The food was excellent and cost less than $35 Canadian for the two of us. Great service, food and value!

We have been eating pho in Chinatown and elsewhere for many years, however, we had never tried a restaurant east of Bronson Avenue until I read the reviews for Saigon Boy Noodle House on tripadvisor. After three trips to Saigon Boy Noodle House in three weeks, it is now our favourite pho restaurant. The place is clean and bright and... More

Cash only is a drag. And I wish they had "wrap your own" dishes. But the pho and vermicelli are really great!

The fresh summer rolls are very good and the accompanying sesame sauce wonderful. Many different types of Pho in three sizes, I had a medium beef... More

Good place to have a simple traditional Vietnamese noodle soup. The waitress served a pot of tea right away. We ordered vegetarian and shrimp spring rolls and a medium chicken noodle soup to share. Soup servings are large as they should be, everything looks fresh, soup is accompanied with bean sprouts, lemon basil and a tine piece of lime (I... More
