    fantastic meal @electricpiggy_viahe yesterday, everything we ordered was just perfect! The bone marrow and brisket pho was tender and flavorful, and the crispy chicken was fresh, juicy and not oily at all! The husband went for a cold Vietnamese coffee and I had the Drunken Piglet- both were aromatic. The cocktail was impressive - it was smooth, velvety, tangy and nutty...just the combination I like! I was happy to see a local business so busy and still provided such prompt, friendly service. They also serve brisket platters and banh mi. Will definitely return for them, and more cocktails! #electricpiggy #visitmarkham . .

    1/4 beef brisket
    Rob C.

    Inexpensive and was nice to try once Came here because I was in the area and was looking for something new. Saw Vietnamese bbq which is unique for me so I decided to give it a try. It's located on a standalone building designed to look like a typical bbq joint. Points for that. Including the slightly grungy feel. Service was nice and attentive. They noticed my table was rocky and tried to fix it. Also noticed my jacket fell and helped get it for me when I didn't notice. Food wise, it was inexpensive but was ok. Best dish was the razor clams. Hot, and flavourful. You only get 5 though. The key is the green sauce which really elevates it. Ok was the pork jowl. They give you a lot of rice paper wraps and they even separate each one with a sheet of paper to make it easy to grab. Downside was the wraps had dry hard edges which took away from the experience. Portion size was nice though. 1/4 beef brisket was mediocre at best. It came out cold/ slightly warm. It had distinct Asian marinade on it and the red bbq sauce they give you tasted like it had gochujang in it. Overall this was a miss to me. Overall, an interesting try and fairly inexpensive. But not worth coming back.

    Great modern, unique and interesting Vietnamese inspired dishes! The Soy Butter Shrimp, Bone Marrow Pho, Razor Clams, Brisket and Ribs, and Pork Jowl were my favorites. Crunchy soy butter shrimp was jumbo sized in a super savory Soy Butter XO sauce. Certainly portioned well enough to share, but you may not want to. :-) Bone Marrow Pho was rich, rich, rich,..... The Pork Jowl was glazed tender and fatty. The Sour Sop smoothie was totally refreshing and cut through some of the richness of the meal. Grab a reservation for sure because the seating is tight. Even for a weeknight the wait for a table was about 40 minutes.

    The only thing that was not good was the rubber brush for basting.

    Your calamari looks good and taste good, your brisket is just ok, your ribs is a bit burnt. Overall it's just OK.

    Easily one of the best dining experiences we've had in a while! The food was soooooo good. The brisket was so juicy and flavourful. All the dishes were packed with flavour, the portions were great, and the prices were definitely reasonable. Will definitely come back for the banh mi and more of the brisket! The ambiance the restaurant also gives is very unique. You feel like you're transported into a lively colourful outdoor space!

    Random shiny bright place in the middle of nowhere (well to me haha. I'm not from this part of town)
    Sofi N.

    Looked up this random place because was in the area (Costco). Was surprised to see this very shiny bright establishment in this random area- it was festive inside with so many people, xmas decorations, warmth. The menu looked extraordinary - so many snack foods you don't normally see at vietnamese restos. They also have cocktail menu - fusion drinks; and a festive bar with bartender in dining room ; interesting fusion idea rare for a viet resto . Enjoyed the bone marrow pho soup - great broth and bone marrow. My bf ordered the pho sate and was not too pleased - i also thought it was a bit different, not ur typical pho sate - maybe peanut butter or something. The octopus was delicious and special and taste explosion. I just didn't like the small makeshift table we were given because of how busy the place was. We have to hunch now a lot and it's very difficult to eat pho, hunched down - the soup just doesn't go down properly. But I noticed the other tables in the central dining room also had same low height compared to chairs. If I come next time, I definitely will not sit at these ones. So uncomfortable to eat. Would come back to take my family - but maybe wouldn't go out of my way to come here. Only if in area.

    In a busy pocket of Markham, this restaurant stands alone but its environment is very warm and inviting. A lot of tables in a small space. Musics loud but in a good way! Food was so comforting. Pho with bone marrow, always a reliable choice. Pastry baked right over the mouthwatering Vietnamese stew. And very garlicky scallops,yum! We have been back twice since and everything is just so good! In the summer they have patio seating as well (from which the great music can still be heard loud and clear so no missing out there).

    Bun Bo Hue
    Y Y.

    The vibe is lively, can get a bit loud but that's ok. Three of us ordered to share: the razor clams, the bbq platter and bun Bo hue. The razor clams is $15 for 4 pieces; it was cooked just right but overall nothing spectacular. The bbq platter was yummy, the best dish of the night, brisket was not dry, flavors were good. The bun Bo hue, again , not bad but nothing spectacular, there are better bun Bo hue in town.

    pork jowl and mini springrolls

    The food was pretty good at a decent price point. The interior is clean and decorated. Their staff asked us what to order before giving us a menu and forgot we asked for the bill. The seating was very tight and not enough hooks for jackets. They don't have a double door, so it can be cold sitting near the entrance. Overall, it was a decent experience and good vibes.

    Its a vietnamese resturant with a little twist. serving BBQ I tried there marrow pho - the broth is really clean with the marrow it makes it have nice flavour. Tried there Mussels too they are fresh but prepare to handle spice it has a good kick They are fill up pretty fast. Staff was super nice and kind they do make nice conversation. Shop is super nice decorated.

    Finally got to try electric piggy with the family! Definitely a unique location with great decor and a fun looking menu of Viet Asian dishes. We sat on the exterior which is still inside, but looks like an added sort of seating space. They put these Christmas lights which we asked them to turn off because it's all over the walls and it was flashing non stop. It was really hard to enjoy because it was really annoying for us. They said they'd see if they can make it stop flashing and literally never came back to help or give us an answer. To the food! We had a few different dishes. I didn't get a chance to photograph everything because our table was a bit cramped. Clams were delish. Not too salty with just the right amount of spice. I liked this one a lot! The calamari was not great. The relish that came with it was really bitter and the calamari didn't have the best texture for us. We ordered the ribs and brisket which was very enjoyable. A tad salty but delicious for meat lovers. I really liked the brisket. Really great deep flavor. The bone marrow pho was great! A nice clean broth and good savory flavor. It was a comforting bowl of noodles! The Hainan chicken rice was really good. I liked the brothy rice and the chicken was well cooked. I love the dipping sauces they provided too. Definitely a good order. The satay vermicelli was also great. It's pretty straight forward but I loved the amount of herbs tossed in there. Great flavor without being overly salty or saucy. I feel like that would be my regular order if I were to come back. The food was good over all with just a few misses, but I think there's some pretty strong competition in the GTA for great Viet food and service. I think this place is over hyped a bit. It was kinda uncomfortable and cramped despite half the restaurant being empty, nevermind being constantly surrounded by flashing Christmas lights. I wasn't a huge fan of the experience over all, but that's not to say it was bad. It's just my opinion and I would not likely pick this place again in the future. But I'm still really glad I got to try it once and I enjoyed the visit.

    Tornado shrimp. AMAZIN
    Charles Gary C.

    So I've been here a few times, and every time it's been consistent and a new menu item always crushes me to the gills. They're BBQ kitchen I think is separate from their main, and man it's better than bbq I've had in Texas, memphis and Kansas. Super succulent brisket, and a hint of Asian in the dipping sauces get the large plate and you won't go wrong ($30). Razor clams (20$), tornado shrimp (20$), bo kho puff pastry were to cry for. I haven't tried their pho yet, as there were way too many special dishes to indulge in. I wish I lived closer and could pound beers down and have all these sharing plates.

    Mixed BBQ
    Anthony C.

    Checked out this place with a friend I havent seen in a while. He suggested and it looked interesting. Parking lot was a little tight but I ended up getting a spot. Interior was clourful and interesting. We sat outside in the covered patio and tables were on the small side. The food was great and the restaurant had an intersting take on vietnamese food. Razor Clams to start. They were nicely seasoned but there were not to much too them so I would skip unless you love Razor Clams. Butter Shrimp came highly recommended by the server and they were good. Nicely presented and the dish had a surprising kick of heat. The fried chicken on bed of mashed potatoes. The chicken was good but the mashed potatoes were the star.. so smooth. Mized BBQ plate was delicious. With juicy brisket, fall of the bone ribs and mini cornbreads. The dipping sacue that you brush on was a nice touch. More on the asiany side with a touch of hoisin. Seafood curry had a nice subtle curry flavour, not over powering that went well with rice. It reminided me of Oyakadon with the egg. Delicious. Teh seafood was chopped in smaller pieces underneath the shrimp. Perhaps would of been better with bigger or full size pieces of seafood, but the flavour was there. Would def come back again and recommend checking it out. 4.5*
