About Glenda Pho

Glenda Pho serves up steaming bowls of fragrant, slow-simmered broth and fresh dim sum on Bay Street. Regulars head straight for the beef pho—clear, rich, and layered with tender slices, bouncy beef balls, and heaps of herbs. An unexpected perk: steaming baskets of xiaolongbao and prawn dumplings arrive right alongside fiery chicken laksa and crispy spring rolls. The kitchen holds Halal certification, portions are generous, and dishes routinely hit the table minutes after you sit down.

  • Halal-Certified Bowls: Certified Halal kitchen serving beef noodle soups alongside comforting chicken and seafood laksas.
  • Pho & Yum Cha Lineup: Baskets of xiaolongbao, prawn and chive dumplings, and custard buns share the table with traditional pho.
  • Fast, Generous Comfort: Speedy kitchen turnaround dishes out hot noodle soups and rice plates within minutes.

  • Clean, Restorative Comfort

    Broths are prepared light, fresh, and balanced, delivering full flavor and deep comfort without excess sodium or heaviness.

    A nice broth with what seems a low amout of MSG, it didn't leave me parched afterwards.

  • Inclusive Gathering for Varied Diets

    Extensive selections accommodate dietary needs from tofu and vegetable pho to gluten-free, vegan, and kid-approved plates.
