Dear Saigon

What is Dear Saigon? Tucked inside the bustling York Concourse food court at Union Station (65 Front St. W.), Dear Saigon brings founders Chau and Christine Ngo’s celebrated Vietnamese noodle operation to the city’s busiest commuter terminal. It operates as a polished counter-service outlet where commuters and downtown office workers grab trays of piping hot broth before grabbing seats across the expansive, high-traffic transit concourse.

Dear Saigon Menu & What to Order The kitchen centers around rich, 24-hour slow-simmered bone broths, led by the signature Dear Saigon Pho crowned with a massive back rib bone and tender rare beef. Diners looking for punchier heat should order the fiery Satay Pho or aromatic Bún Bò Huế, alongside crisp shareables like square crab spring rolls and shrimp-stuffed Bánh Xèo tacos. Pair your bowl with a strong condensed-milk Vietnamese iced coffee, and note that vegetarian diners have solid options across customizable tofu vermicelli and fresh rolls.

Know Before You Go This transit-hub outpost is strictly walk-in counter service with no reservations, moving lines swiftly even during intense weekday lunch and rush-hour rushes. Located steps from the TTC subway and GO Train platforms, it is ideal for rapid take-out or a sit-down food court meal, operating daily from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
