Minh's is great Vietnamese cuisine! The bottom spring roll was my favourite item, the shrimp was fresh and perfectly prepared. The spicy bowl had a hint of spice and a nice flavor. The staff was great, the owner was even cracking jokes with us. The only thing missing was the avocado shake, but we assured it would be added! Highly recommend Minh's for a delicious and welcoming dining experience.

We had the best experience at Minh's. The food was delicious and they were so friendly. Spring rolls were my son's favorite and he is usually picky with them. My husband and I ordered pho, I had the chicken and he had a rare beef with meatballs. The portions are huge and the broth absolutely delicious. We ordered chicken fried rice for my son and he ate quite a but but still so much left overs. We will be enjoying this for the next few days. Also the hot sauce is fire!

I am an outlier where I don't particularly like Pho or Bun but man loves his com tam (broken rice). The barometer for what makes a good com tam is the rice quality itself and they cook it perfectly. The grilled chicken and pork are both done and seasoned well. It is what you expect (a good thing). The fish sauce is less sweet than other joints but its very savoury. Tastes wonderful with everything mixed together. Will be coming back again

I think this restaurant is fairly new. The interior is very clean. We ordered spring roll, beef and meatball rice noodle soup and pork chop rice w/ other items. They are freshly made and extremely hot. All food are delicious. We really love the food here however it was very quiet when we were there. Hopefully more people will see this restaurant or the restaurant should consider putting up more banners. The location itself is not quite noticable.

**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5** I’m so glad we stumbled upon **Minh’s** today — the food is absolutely *exquisite*! The broth is clean yet full of flavor, and all the ingredients taste incredibly fresh. The beef balls are homemade and delicious! The **Banh Mi** is to *die* for — the bread is perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and slightly chewy on the inside. The beef-to-veggie ratio is spot on, and the flavor is amazing. Honestly, it’s the **best Banh Mi I’ve ever had!** The **crispy spring rolls** are crunchy and meaty, and the **fresh spring rolls** are delicious. The **pho** comes in one size, but it’s generous and perfect for sharing. Prices are very reasonable, and they offer **Halal** and **vegetarian** options too. The space is open, family-friendly, and there’s plenty of seating. They accept most major forms of payment (debit, credit, etc.). We even met **Minh**, the owner — his passion for his food and customers really shines through. His attention to detail and genuine care make this place special. We’ve officially found our new go-to spot for Vietnamese food. **Highly, highly recommend!**

WOW! YOU GOTTA'EAT HERE! The broth is keto-friendly. This will become my preferred location in the Greater Toronto Area. The five-star ratings for this establishment are genuine and well-deserved for a valid reason. I am astounded. The broth was rich, flavorful, and delicious without excessive saltiness. The vegetables were crisp and fresh. The beef was exceptional. I conversed with the chef, and everything is prepared in-house, using high-quality meats, with absolutely no seed oils utilized in the broth. My wife was impressed by how clean and inviting the environment was. The comfortable booth seating allows you to savor every sip in comfort. There is plenty of parking available at the rear. Ample seating is provided. The prices are competitive. The customer service was remarkable. Although English was not the manager's first language, he compensated for it abundantly with his attentive customer care and eagerness to please; keep up the great work. Experience it for yourself and witness it firsthand.
