About Renso Pho

Vietnamese Street Food
Reimagined for Today

Born from a lifelong connection to Vietnamese cuisine, Renso Pho is rooted in a rich culinary heritage, where every ingredient, recipe, and technique reflects generations of tradition, care, and craftsmanship.

As Canada’s first customizable pho concept, Renso Pho brings together time-honoured Vietnamese flavours and a modern, personalized dining experience while preserving the essence of what makes pho special.

From 12-hour slow-simmered broths to thoughtfully sourced ingredients, every bowl reflects a simple philosophy: honour its origins while embracing new ways to share and enjoy it.
