It was a Sunday. I loved it. Today, I was at The Shopping Channel (TSC) picking up an order after work. After I was done, I did a search and Pho Pho Pho (PPP) showed up. It was 34°C outside. With the humidity, it felt like death. I didn't want a steaming bowl of pho. However, I wanted vermicelli and drove over here. Traffic along Derry Road at rush hour, at roughly 4 pm, was horrific. A number of vehicles heading westbound were kind to let me turn left in front of them onto Maxwell Road. I thanked them and pulled into the parking lot. This eatery is in a plaza with a lot of parking. There are signs designated for PPP customers. I chose the corner spot by a tree and backed into it. It didn't look like my car was under a shaded area when I had parked. By the time I came out of the eatery with a content tummy full of good food, my car was completely in the shade. Yay! I walked in and made a left around the corner. A nice woman greeted me. It's a family-run business with her husband cooking in the kitchen. It was me dining. She said that I could sit anywhere, but also suggested that it was cooler sitting by the other door. I sat in the corner. It was shaded and proved to be perfectly cool. She gave me a menu and asked if I wanted tea. I opted for water with ice. I got a refill. Icy water is perfect when it's a scorcher outside. It was refreshing and needed. The menu looked good. As much as I love pho, I wanted vermicelli. I ordered these items, which I wrote down on a piece of paper with a pen that came with the menu: - Diet Coke - B12 - vermicelli with spring rolls, grilled pork hash, and grilled shrimp on sugar cane I managed to catch up on uploading photos on Yelp as I waited. Meanwhile, a family of three Vietnamese women came in and sat a couple of tables away from me, in the coldest part of the restaurant. The oldest woman walked in with a cane. I was surprised that they went with the cold for her. They survived. She kept her jacket on. They got their food first. They all ordered pho, which doesn't take as long to make than my dish. Luckily, I was neither in a rush, nor starving. Moments later, my bowl of deliciousness had arrived. I got a small bowl of sauce, as the nice woman called it. My huge bowl of vermicelli looked so good. She apologized for the delay, as the spring rolls took longer to make. No need to apologize. Good food is worth the wait. It was here. I poured the sauce into my bowl of vermicelli. She asked if I needed more. I was good. She was extremely attentive. The vermicelli was excellent. It has cucumbers, bean sprouts, lettuce, carrots, green onions, and peanuts that made this dish so fresh and yummy with the sauce mixed in. The shrimp on sugar cane was yummy. I'm the type who chews on the sugar cane. It was so sweet. The spring rolls were crispy and crunchy, with a decent amount of filling. The vermicelli was perfect. The grilled pork hash were these scrumptious pork meatballs. The sear on the outside of each one was perfection. I got three of these meatballs. They were flavourful and so good. I love B12. I would definitely order this dish again. The nice woman asked if I wanted a straw to drink my Diet Coke. I declined. It was super cold and hit the spot. I went up to the counter to pay my bill. I said that it was excellent. She almost didn't believe me. "You liked my food?" she asked. "Yes, I loved it a lot. I'm so glad that I came here after work," I replied. This place accepts credit cards. I had a tough time getting the tap on my credit card to work. She did it for me and it worked. She had the magic touch, thank goodness! I used the washroom before I left. The women's washroom was clean. No complaints. I wished her a great evening. She reciprocated. This Vietnamese eatery is a gem. I'll be back. I am hoping that traffic doesn't such when I do revisit it. (217)

It's been a good run at this local staple…read more Pho Metro is one of the more well-known pho spot in Vaughan with tasty flavors, fast service and large portions. Ever since I discovered the spicy Curry Brisket Pho ($20.95), it has always been my go-to dish here all year-round. As creamy and thick as the broth appears, the intense Thai coconut curry flavours are perfect to slurp down in this modern fusion dish. We always order Pho Nam (XL $21.50) as well and both come loaded with a heaping portion of brisket slices in the piping hot noodle soup. From time-to-time, we also add the Banh Xeo savoury egg pancake which arrives on a huge plate even larger than the noodle bowls. Presented with a heap of greens & herbs, the crispy golden crepe is light and filled with bits of shrimp, pork, onions & bean sprouts. This is wrapped with the lettuce leaf for crunchy and refreshing bites. The menu prices have slowly but steadily increased over the past couple of years. There is still cash discount available. Not much has changed with the decor over the years in this spacious but dated restaurant interior. Service is always kind, fast and kid-friendly which is nice for young families. Skip it or hit it? I admit we don't visit as often as we used to all factors considered but boy that Curry Brisket Pho is something I crave.

Shrimp and Pork Rice Paper Rolls - The shrimp, pork, and lettuce were wrapped on the very outside, but the inside was just fully stuffed with rice noodles. I had to take out most of the noodles, otherwise I would have been too full. Chicken Wings - Just those standard, regular friend chicken wings. By the way I didn't see any sticky rice that was mentioned on the menu? House Special Noodle Soup - Meat lovers' choice. I'm not a big fan of pho (always feel like there's too much MSG in it), so I can't really give a fair review on this one. Service was good.

They may not be your trendiest option, but in a market dominated by fancy Viet restaurants, PDB delivers delicious, no frills pho. I must say, though, that this location really blew me away, as their Bun Bo Hue was sooooooo much better than the version I get in my usual Scarborough location. The traditional pork knuckle is replaced by just as delicious slices of fatty pork and they have pickled chilies at the table. I usually have to ask for fresh chilies on the side, but I'm always happy to find these pickled beauties to add to my soup. My daughter's rare beef pho was also very good (according to her) and the obligatory deep fried spring rolls were crunch and savoury. I would not hesitate to revisit this location next time I am in the area!

We picked our own seats and looked at the many pages of their menu. Later, we were acknowledged by a man, not the woman who just sat there waiting for customers. I thought it was weird, awkward. My partner's pad Thai had flavour, but somehow, the chicken pieces were salty. My dish was good with variety of veggies and enough beef. Great portion. I noticed that their Sriracha bottle does not contain the real thing as I can tell the difference. The color was so much brighter!! I know that they are known for their noodle soup, so perhaps next time I'll try that. Overall, it's your typical Viet restaurant. Nothing to be wow about.

I highly recommend the vermicelli bowls as they give a very generous amount of meat. The Bo La Lop was delicious and sizing oh so generous.

Their menu offerings are delicious , so fresh you can see everything being prepared in the kitchen .It is different variety of dishes than most Vietnamese spots Where as many of the other Vietnamese restaurants I've been to have pad Thai it's not on this menu. The meats are very tender. The prices I think are quite reasonable for the portions that you get and so far the wait for a table has been no more than 10 minutes. I hate to recommend this place although it is in a shopping mall I guess there is at least a lot of parking and there's a rollup ice cream place just a few doors away as a option for something other than mango or rice pudding I think for the dessert choices. And a pet peeve of mine that seems more restaurants are doing , I don't understand the logic behind it, but they don't do separate billing on weekends it seems to be a thing happening at More and more restaurants so one person has to take on paying the bill and then chasing down people to get their payment, which is a bit of a drag and that will likely be why we will only go on a weekday
