Renso Pho-Potle

What is Renso Pho-Potle? Located at 506 Queen Street West near Portland, Renso Pho-Potle brings Canada's first build-your-own pho concept to one of downtown Toronto's bustling dining strips. Backed by Linda Vu of Renso Foods alongside Chef Bich Nguyen, the room shifts away from conventional noodle houses in favour of an approachable, fast-casual assembly counter. The bright, straightforward space features casual drop-in dining room seating designed for speedy lunch crowds and relaxed evening bowls.

Renso Pho-Potle Menu & What to Order Ordering follows a counter format where guests pick between a 12-hour slow-simmered broth or a sauce-slicked dry pho before loading up on noodles, halal-certified proteins, fresh herbs, and custom toppings. The brothless dry pho is a standout, tossing bouncy rice noodles and tender beef with regional house sauces that keep every garnish crisp. Pair your bowl with crunchy shrimp fritters, fresh rice paper rolls, and a strong Vietnamese iced coffee.

Know Before You Go Expect a counter-service, walk-in only setup with no reservations, meaning peak lunch and dinner rushes will see steady queues. The restaurant soft-opens on September 26, 2026, ahead of its official October 3 grand opening, with updated daily operating hours posted on social channels. Transit is your best bet via the 501 Queen streetcar or a quick stroll west from Osgoode subway station, as street parking around Queen and Portland fills fast.
