Toronto’s First Build-Your-Own Pho Restaurant Opens on Queen West This Month

· · ·

Build-your-own pho is coming to Toronto, and it lands on Queen West later this month. Renso Pho-Potle, which bills itself as the city’s first restaurant of its kind, opens on Saturday, Oct. 24 at 506 Queen St. W. Founder Linda Vu is bringing a fast-casual, pick-your-own format to Vietnam’s famous noodle soup. As a result, diners choose their own broth, protein, seasonings and garnishes. The menu also goes beyond pho, with a few Vietnamese favourites on the side.

Renso Pho-Potle Opening Details

  • Restaurant: Renso Pho-Potle
  • Opening date: Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026
  • Address: 506 Queen St. W., Toronto

How the Build-Your-Own Pho Works

The idea is simple. First, guests choose a broth. Next, they add a protein and pick their seasonings. Finally, they finish the bowl with garnishes. This way, every bowl matches each diner’s taste.

What Else Is on the Menu

  • Spring rolls
  • Bò Sốt Vang, a Vietnamese beef stew braised in red wine
  • Dry pho, served without the soup

So if you love the idea of a build-your-own pho bowl made exactly your way, Renso Pho-Potle is worth a visit once it opens on Oct. 24.
