I love noodle soups and this is one of my favorite things to eat. I could probably eat pho every meal of every day. :) Pho 88 is definitely one of the better pho restaurants I've been to and asides from the fact that they're always packed, I don't mind a little bit of waiting and brisk service for a nice bowl of pho. Their Pho Tai (rare beef) actually comes with a mound of sliced rare beef on the side of the bowl (instead of already in the soup as most restaurants do) so you can decide how much to cook your rare beef. Spring rolls are standard goodness just as most of their grilled meat dishes.
The food at this restaurant is decent. That is evident by the constant stream of customers. However, the service is absolutely terrible. It is at it's absolute worst when the place is busy in the evenings. The servers redefine the meaning of rude. One lady that works there (she is short, chubby, and a bit stalky) is quite possibly the most vile and miserable server in Toronto. I've seen her yell and scream at customers with no reservations, she constantly makes rude and insulting comments directly to the customers, she sometimes throws plates and bowls around when she's frustrated, and I saw her spill water on a customer and not care. Once I saw her grab the customer's handful of change as she was deciding on how much tips to give. I guess she got a few extra dollars that day.
The problem with this restaurant is that it is so busy, they do not care if they lose a few customers. If you do not mind horrendous customer service, you may find a decent meal here. Otherwise, go at your own risk.
This place is awesome!! My wife started eating here since she was in high school and the place has kept up it's great taste since then. We love visiting here and their spring roll is definitely the BEST in GTA (I've tried about 10 different pho places altogether).
We frequent the place and it can get really busy during regular meal times especially lunch time. Their price is very good as well and you get filled quickly. Excellent place!
With so many of my friends raving about Pho, I've tried many, many places, but I just never understood what was so great about it. It was just hot soup and raw meat, with no taste. That is, until, a friend introduced me to Pho 88 in Scarborough!
PRICE & SERVING SIZE:
Their traditional Pho is good, with very large portions at an extremely reasonable price. I eat a lot, and I can barely finish the Medium size, I think Small is good for many people, as the liquid quickly fills you up.
FOOD:
You HAVE to try the Pho that comes with Coconut Sauce. It is something completely different, and it tastes amazing. I didn't like the Pho with Shrimp, I prefer the chicken. Some of the chicken has a lot of fat on it, but if you take it out then it's fine. They give you all the standard stuff, been sprouts, mint, sauce, etc.
SERVICE & ATMOSPHERE:
It's busy, but with a quick turnaround. With a party of 6 people, we had to wait 15 minutes for a table at 7:30pm on a Saturday. Servers are good, but sometimes if you change your order after they right it down, they might bring you what you had originally told them, not the correction, so it's best to get it right the first time. Very friendly staff, always have a smile on their face.
SUMMARY:
With very reasonable prices, and huge serving sizes for the Pho, and a very friendly staff, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a unique Pho experience.
