    Waiting Pho You is a fantastic spot for authentic Vietnamese food. The flavors are rich, fresh, and truly true to traditional Viet cooking. The pho is delicious and comforting, and the rest of the menu has that homemade taste you can’t fake. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are friendly and attentive. If you’re looking for genuine Vietnamese cuisine, this place is definitely worth a visit!

    We were driving on the way home from Blue Mountain and decided to stop in Barrie for lunch. Found this Vietnamese restaurant with pretty good reviews. Ambiance: A bit worn out with leather seat peeling so it hurts when you sit with shorts on. It’s a bit small so it was hard to accommodate 12 people together. We had to split up. Service: Very accommodating. They moved some tables for us to be closer to our kids and when we called ahead of time they saved us 3 small tables. Food came very fast. Food: Very authentic. Restaurant was owned by a Vietnamese family so you know the food will be authentic. We ordered the Vietnamese spring rolls to start, fresh and crispy. Very flavourful and they used the rice paper for the spring rolls which is the authentic way to make it. We also got the pork and shrimp fresh rolls with peanut sauce so good and fresh. Mains we got the pho with rare beef, Bun bo hue your spicy beef noodles, grilled pork with spring roll and vermicelli. Also got the grilled pork chop and chicken with rice.. Price is very reasonable and portions are a good size. Will definitely come back!!

    stopped in after work for beef soup. the wait staff are super nice and quick service. very clean establishment and do enjoy the background music. had fresh spring roll (beef) could have used a little more beef and then the soup with fresh chillies. 100% recommend and will return to try pad thai

    Warm, flavorful, and comforting food in a beautiful cozy restaurant. I previously had the rare beef phở which was steaming hot, full of noodles and big beef slices. This time I had the stir-fry soft noodles with beef and loved it. Big beef slices and thin ramen-type noodles coated with a light savory sauce. The location is on the small side, and it was busy for a Wednesday evening. The few staff did their absolute best to attend to every guest. Shout out to the sweetest young lady at the register for her positive demeanor despite the chaos. Will be back!

    I am so glad I found this spot. The newly renovated restaurant is cozy and inviting,from the tranquil music to the cleanliness. You are immediately brought a green tea and service is pretty quick. But my favorite, the beef pho broth. I have tried many different restaurants known for their pho, and this is by far the best in my opinion. The broth is rich and fresh. The aromas transcend you into bliss. Can you tell I love it! I have brought family and friends there, and we also thoroughly enjoyed the fresh rolls, the fried spring rolls, the beef with rice and egg. It is a fantastic spot to eat fresh, comfort food, if soup is your sort of go to comfort.
