Very tasty quick lunch of vermicelli, chicken and spring roll. Very fast and fresh and affordable. The service was good and it was a nice break from fast food and heavy western food. The only thing was it was a cold TO winter day and it was chilly by the windows.

The place is very clean, simple, the food is great, delicious, the exotic flavors are the best if you want to try something new. We enjoy every bite.

I agree with the other reviewers. Service is friendly and fast. It's inexpensive. On the downside, the broth was lacking in complexity and flavor. They didn't give that much basil and bean sprouts. There was a fair amount of meat in it. If you're downtown and have a hankering for pho, this place will satisfy it.

A great Vietnamese restaurant on the corner of Chestnut St. and Dundas St. It is down about 6 steps below street level. It is close to Ryerson U. and the U. of Toronto so it caters to a the available university residents. The waiter was unbelievably efficient, he was the only one on duty and he dealt with 6 or...

Pho Orchid isn't nearly as good as the many Vietnamese places in Chinatown on Spadina, but it is alright for a quick and easy meal if you are stuck in the area and short on time. The menu doesn't have a lot of variety but it has all the basic Vietnamese dishes. The menu items are in the same price... More

Not the best broth or meat but good for the price! Need to try the other things on their menu. I like that the place is nice and clean.

I'm a big fan of Pho and thought since it was in the downtown core, not far from work I would check it out. I gotta say, i'm not a big fan. The meat was very fatty and the medium size was more like a small compared to the other Pho places I have been too. The only thing good... More
