    Within one of many depressing strip malls in Mississauga. Mississauga UGLY, right?? I thought the pho was very good, big spring rolls. Fair prices.

    Interior is pretty non-descript, just like any other chain pho place.

    I know why people have been coming here: It's relatively new, it's in a convenient plaza with plenty of parking (albeit slightly ghetto), FREE WIFI, & their small pho is $6! I think that's about it in an intersection that is littered with pho joints. Broth itself wasn't the tastiest, slightly on the salty side, passable. Noodles were nice and not overcooked. I wished they had the fresh chilli sauce that is on the table of most pho places. Pho Lam only had Sriracha & what I'm assuming was hoisin sauce. Drinks were also cheaper than other pho places, so that is rather attractive. El Cheapo Tip: If you're just there for a quick, cheap meal, share the 2nd pho with 1 other person. It only comes in XL and it's $9, plenty for 2 smallish women! ;)

    I drove past this place many times in the past, and I'm pretty sure it was a Pho-Mi 99 before, but changed its name to Pho Lam not too long ago. Their ordering sheet still has Pho-Mi 99 on it! This restaurant's interior is the complete opposite of the plaza it is located in. Very sleek, modern, and clean! The parking lot is a complete mess with pot holes everywhere, and the plaza itself is really sketchy in my opinion. However, don't let this deter you from eating here or you could regret it! In terms of food, to my surprise, it was really good! We ordered the Thai Grilled Squid which was seasoned well. The only weird thing about it was that it came with nothing. Literally, nothing. We had to ask for extra rice and bowls to share, since it was a solo dish. We also ordered the Thai Hot Pot which was the highlight of the meal. Their soup base was on point! Also, the seafood which came with it was sufficient for 4 adults. For $40, this was amazing on a cold Canadian spring day. Was extremely happy with the food! Anyways, I have yet to try the Pho or Rice dishes here, but in terms of the Hotpot, it was amazing! A little kinks can be worked out but I will be happy to return!

    Bun thit nuong with sugar cane shrimp

    Their pho was definitely not the best but their bun thit nuong is good n affordable compared to many places. Shrimp on sugar cane was very good. Portion was huge. Loved it. I tried the pho again also. This time the meat was not mushy and crumbly anymore but the broth just still does not do it for me.

    My sisters and I came here for a late dinner and I'm so glad we did! There is tons of other Vietnamese places around here (literally saw 3 pho restaurants within 2 minute walks) but I'm glad we came here. The service was great, our waitress was extremely friendly and the food came relatively fast. My sister actually got the wrong order (grilled chicken with rice and fried egg when she ordered grilled chicken with fish) and the waitress was happy to bring the order of fish. I got the house special which was steaming hot and delicious! My other sisters got an order of pho and a rice dish and they enjoyed it. The prices were affordable and all our dishes were under $10. The only thing I wouldn't recommend getting is the fried spring rolls - they were dripping with oil. Otherwise, I would definitely come here again!

    Love this place :)

    I am very sensitive to MSG so giving this a 1 star. The broth is very good but I won't be going back.

    I'm pretty sure the food would be ok but the salt content is through the roof to the point it's basically inedible.

    This is the best pho place in GTA! The soup is very tasty, yet not too salty or anything. Its grilled pork is also worth a try.

    I brought my family here after a recommendation from a friend…read more There is plenty of free parking. They open at 11 a.m., and we were first in line. The restaurant is nicely decorated, and within five minutes it was completely full. My dad ordered the specialty beef bone rice noodle soup. A second bowl came out just for the bone--holy moly! His only complaint was the noodles; he didn't care for the wide noodles. My sister got the bún bò Huế. The broth was excellent and approved by my parents, and it came with a generous amount of meat. My mom ordered bún cá and really enjoyed her meal. Each soup-based dish came with a plate of fresh vegetables. I ordered the grilled specialty platter. It was a lot of food, but everything was delicious. I also tried the salted iced coffee, which was just okay. They accept cash or debit only. Service was quick and efficient, and we were served tea as soon as we were seated. I highly recommend An Ngon Vietnamese Cuisine.

    We arrived at An Ngon on a Friday at about 5:30 PM for dinner and the restaurant was not that busy…read moreyet. The restaurant was spacious and could seat a lot of people, but from other reviewers on Yelp, this place can get very busy. We were seated immediately and service was prompt. We ordered the following: 2 X Grilled Pork and Spring Roll with Vermicelli 1 X Grilled Chicken with Spring Roll Vermicelli Both the grilled port and grilled chicken were tender, and very flavourful. The spring rolls were crispy, large, but lacked a bit of taste compared with other restaurants. Overall, both dishes were good as well as the service. I would return to try Pho next time.

The broth was so flavourful, lots of lemongrass and lime flavour. It was loaded with beef, sausage slices, and pork blood so this was very worth it! 10/10! Service was typical of an Asian restaurant but must comment that the decor inside the restaurant is very beautiful. Lots of greenery and bamboo decorations which made the ambience very enjoyable for dining. Don't be fooled by the industrial appearance of the outside!

The menu unfurls with impressive breadth, moving well beyond expected pho into simmered specialties that reward the adventurous diner. Service throughout was attentive and unhurried, the sort of hospitality that turns newcomers into regulars. What lingers most is the room itself. Disco lighting fixtures and a tucked away stage lend the space an unexpected theatricality, as though it were built for celebration rather than mere sustenance. Despite the family's expansion into a sleeker downtown outpost, this original location retains a lived in charm no polished interior could replicate. The broth carries real depth and fragrance, the noodles handled with care, and the accompanying plates, from crisp spring rolls to grilled specialties, arrive with the consistency that keeps a neighborhood loyal for decades. If there is a critique to offer, it is only that the restaurant's understated exterior undersells the warmth and quality found within. This is Vietnamese cooking presented without pretense: generous, comforting, and utterly sincere. Pho Ngoc Yen earns its reputation through steady, quiet excellence, and it remains a destination worth returning to again and again.

There is plenty of free parking on site, although the restaurant can get quite busy. On one occasion, the lot was completely full and I had to wait a bit for a spot, which speaks to its popularity. The staff are friendly and attentive, and payment is made at the front counter after your meal. One thing that sets this restaurant apart is its extensive menu. While the pho is good, there are also many other Vietnamese and Thai dishes that you don't typically find at most Vietnamese restaurants, making it a great place to explore beyond the usual Vietnamese classics. The food is consistently good, the portions are generous. This spot is definitely worth a visit!
