WAITING PHO U REVIEWS

Delicious. Clean. Fast. Daughter and I went in yesterday and had fresh spring rolls with shrimp and pork, and a soup. As with most pho places, the soups are huge, we got smalls. The spring rolls were excellent, she absolutely inhaled it! The broth was excellent, and that is the most important part. Service was excellent, no issues at all. Absolutely, 100% will go back. Was 36$ for the both of us.

A creative name. What was waiting for me, after hours hiking in the woods, a decent bowl of pho. The broth was flavorful, a slight sweet to the taste, noodles and meats were perfectly made. The herbs were fresh. The place was clean and the service was excellent. Could be among the top pho places in Barrie.

Good Pho place in Barrie here for travel , be careful they close earlier then the time it says on Google Over all honest and good place to eat.

BIG PHO REVIEWS

Really tasty Pho and lots of options! Their menu is a mix of Japanese, Vietnamese and Chinese food. I love that you can get sushi with your pho. Everything we have tried here has been delicious. Great portions. Sometimes the bowl sizes are inconsistent but the prices are great, it did not really matter. I recommend their house Pho or the brisket. Their hand roll combo comes with 4 and they are smaller so perfect to share as a started. We came here for dinner and then came back two weeks later for my birthday. Happy to have stumbled upon this location while in Barrie.

I have ordered take out many times and I have never been disappointed. The freshness of the ingredients is extremely noticeable compared to other places. Hands down the best Pad Thai I have had. The pho is my favourite in Barrie and their Chinese combo plates are delicious. I highly recommend take out or dining in.

A surprisingly good Vietnamese/ Thai/ Chinese place. Food is decent, price is really good. Nice to know we have more choices in Barrie.

MINH’S BARRIE REVIEWS

I had a great dining experience at Minh Restaurant in Barrie. The Chicken Pad Thai was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked with a wonderful balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors. Every bite was fresh and satisfying. I also ordered the Pho, and I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion size. The broth was rich and flavorful, the ingredients were fresh, and it was a comforting, hearty bowl that offered excellent value for the price. The food was tasty, the portions were generous, and the overall experience was very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Minh Restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine in Barrie, and I'll certainly be back to try more dishes.

Great food, great service. The only knock is it's on a main Street downtown. Downtown parking is okay in the evening but can be troublesome during busy times. This is absolutely not Minh's fault and doesn't reflect the business at all. Everything and everyone was great.

Well! What a surprise. Decided to order 3 items to go. Pad Thai, Chicken Fried Rice, and Pho. The flavours! But not just that - the generous portions! And…The price points! This will be our default choice for healthier, flavourful take out, going forward.
