Di an Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine

What is Di an Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine? Tucked into a Brimley Road plaza in Scarborough, Di An reframes casual Vietnamese dining as an elevated, sit-and-linger affair. High ceilings, warm pendant lighting, and cascading greenery replace the utilitarian pace typical of suburban soup counters with a modern, design-conscious dining room. The room invites diners to settle into comfortable banquettes rather than rush through a quick bowl.

Di an Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine Menu & What to Order The kitchen shines brightest where slow-simmered regional tradition meets high-end indulgence, best showcased by the smoked beef brisket pho, which pairs tender ribeye steeped in fragrant broth alongside rich, bark-edged smoked brisket. The bún riêu cua with soft shell crab delivers a masterclass in sour, savoury crab broth crowned with an entire golden-fried crustacean, while the rich bone marrow pho offers rare depth at accessible price points. Round out the meal with shatteringly crisp Di An golden wings and wash it down with a tart lychee mint soda or a bold, condensed milk-sweetened Vietnamese iced coffee.

Know Before You Go Unlike many conventional pho spots, Di An offers table reservations directly via their website, making advance booking a smart move for peak weekend dinners. The strip mall setting means ample free surface parking right outside, with the 21 Brimley bus stopping steps away. The kitchen operates from 11:00 a.m. daily, staying open until 10:00 p.m. most nights and 11:00 p.m. on weekends.
