A couple of Wednesdays ago, after work, I had an early dinner at this Pho Anh Vu on Highway 7 in Vaughan, between Keele and Jane streets. I have passed by this eatery a number of times since it opened. It was time to check it out. This location used to be Veg Italiano. There used to be a pho place a few doors down. It is now a Turkish eatery. This small plaza does have some turnover. However, the Turkish place and this eatery have been here for at least a couple of years. I hope they remain. I got here at around 3:30 pm. I had no problem finding a parking spot. I backed into a vacant one and walked in. I was immediately greeted by a male staffer. I got to sit wherever I wanted. I chose a booth by the window. I got menus to peruse. There were two other tables with customers. It was nice. Hot tea came to me with two cups. The hot tea was exceptionally piping hot. I used both cups to pour tea into them and let them cool. I was ready to order. It took a long time to get a server to come over. The woman at the counter noticed that I was ready and flagged the male server to take my order. I got these items: - Soda lemonade - Grilled chicken on vermicelli with spring rolls My soda lemonade came first. It was fizzy, cold, and refreshing. I loved it so much. I would get it again in a heartbeat. It also helped me down my food as I waited for my hot tea to cool down. When my tea was finally at a temperature that wouldn't scorch my tongue, it was fragrant and yummy. I loved the grilled chicken. It was flavourful and grilled to perfection. The vermicelli was generous and yummy. The spring rolls were stuffed and crispy. This dish came with dipping sauce that I ended up pouring on everything. I feel that I needed more of it. I paid at the counter with a debit card. I tapped and was good. This eatery got busy after 4 pm. My guess is that everyone came to watch the Canada-Switzerland FIFA game. It got tense in the place. Eventually, Canada lost this game. I used the washroom before I left. It was beautiful and clean. It's a decent location that serves good food. The tea was too hot. Service started off slow, but was a lot better once my order was place. I'd love to return to try more items off the menu. (280)

Overall, it is definitely up to the pho standards I have had in Markham and Richmond Hill. If you are in the mood for pho, this place is totally worth checking out.

I was surprised at how large the portions were! I did find that the flavour of their fish sauce is on the lighter side so I had to ask for extra for my vermicelli. Otherwise, the food was good and I'd definitely return. One thing I think that could be improved upon would be the service. We went on a weekday around lunch time but it was not busy. They just seemed nonchalant / not very proactive. We had to flag them down just to place our order. There is also a little game you can play at the front where you can try to stop the timer at their specified time. I forget what the prize is, lol. Their floors are also insanely slippery in the winter, so be careful!

The sauce was good but more would be better. Some liver slices were a bit tough. The toppings were generous. The soup seemed to be pho soup. It was quite rich with a big piece of bone-in pork. Pho (northern style) with ginger (small) was relatively light & somewhat herbal/gingery. It was pretty tasty but the beef clumped oddly. The teapot is pretty & their pandan tea is very fragrant.

First, the pros: their burgers are definitely a highlight. The patties are very substantial, with a genuine meaty flavor, not the mass-produced kind. The toppings are also well-chosen, not just piled on haphazardly. The plating is also a plus; it looks quite appetizing when it arrives at the table. The service is generally friendly, not overly enthusiastic but not unpleasant either. However, the cons are also quite obvious. The biggest problem is the inconsistent quality--some dishes are excellent, while others are rather ordinary, even making you feel like "something else tastes better." Plus, the prices aren't cheap, so if you happen to order an average dish, the value for money doesn't quite meet your expectations. Also, the restaurant lacks a truly memorable signature dish, making it less memorable after your meal.

I saw plenty of glowing reviews about this place and had to try it for myself. I heard nothing but…read moregood things and hear phenomenal things about the drink. The food was amazing as expected and so was the service. The service was fast and very helpful. But honestly I been going there for the last few days and one thing, a person has truly brought colour to this place. A girl so beautiful you can mistake her for a angel she looks so heavenly and sweet, I think she the real reason I go back everyday, she always there sitting in the corner in her own little world it's so adorable especially those small little smiles of hers . I seen her make drinks so she definitely a worker there, she makes that place look so lively it's truly blows me away that a girl like that exists. A girl so rich in her outfits and clearly a woman with wonderful taste in food. If I come back and she there I could eat for hours, she is so memorizing to the eye, idk how I can describe it. I recall her saying her name was Alice. Such a beautiful angel in a place so close to heaven this place is a dream,10/10 recommendation

We decided to try la sen after a glowing recommendation from a colleague. Located on the ground…read morefloor of a parking garage, you can get validated parking if you eat at a restaurant nearby. La Sen has a beautiful interior and decent amount of seating for its smallish space. Service was good - things came quickly and they seem to have quite a few unique items on the menu. Beef salad - really refreshing and flavorful salad. Had a bit of spicy kick on the beef which was really nice with the other fresh vegetables. Wine braised pho hotpot - I really enjoyed this hotpot - even more so than their typical pho. You can get unlimited soup refills too which is great. Broth is light yet flavorful. Pho - decided to try their "regular " pho which has a bit more herbal notes than their hotpot. It's not bad but I could see some of the herbal/spice undertones being off putting to some. Stret style platter - lots of good, great variety, very fresh. Loved this dish - getting to make your own customized roll is worth it. Durian crema coffee - an interesting that I've never seen. It's line a typical coffe but a large and thick layer of durian foam layer on top of the coffee. Price: A bit higher than other pho places but well worth trying

Tip: Cash and debit cards only…read more On my last day of vacation, I took my time heading back to Markham from Oakville. I needed something to eat. It was my second meal of the day at nearly 5 pm, as I started my day late. I had been meaning to visit this Linh Anh restaurant that is across from CF Markville Mall. I decided to grab some grub here before heading home. There was lots of parking when I got here. I backed into a spot and walked in. A male staffer was heading into the eatery when I was. It was cool, as he held the doors open (there are two sets) and then sat me down at a table near the front counter. Double Lucky Seafood Cuisine was in this spot before Linh Anh took it over. Not so lucky or doubly lucky for that former restaurant! The interior is stunning! I'd come here just to relax under trees with pink flowers and admire the old turntable. I got a couple of laminated menus. I also got a piece of paper with my table number written on it. The idea is that you write down your order on the piece of paper. I got these items: - Squeezed lime drink with ice - Grilled chicken vermicelli with a spring roll A pitcher of cold tea and a cup arrived. I was happy that it was chilled tea. It was such a hot day that drinking hot tea wouldn't have made me a happy camper. My squeezed lime drink with ice was brought to my table. I loved it so much. The lime was slightly tart and it had lime bits in it. It was icy cold, which I appreciated. It was excellent. I'd order it again. My grilled chicken vermicelli with a spring roll came out next. Thank goodness I didn't order any appetizers because this bowl of deliciousness was massive! I had my crispy spring roll first, which was packed with shrimp, pork, and veggies. I dipped it in the sauce. So tasty! I ended up pouring all the sauce onto everything in my bowl and mixing it up. The mixing took some time because I had to eat some of the grilled chicken to be able to mix. The chicken was flavourful, juicy, and yummy. It was a generous portion. The veggies were fresh and crispy. I got a generous amount of vermicelli, which was perfectly cooked. I loved this meal so much. I'd get it again. I paid at the counter once I was done eating. This place only accepts cash and debit cards. The man at the counter asked how I'd like to pay. I said debit card. He thanked me, which was a response that I didn't anticipate. Maybe he was expecting me to say credit card, which is normally how I tend to pay for everything. I tipped and tapped. Done! I got candy before I headed to use the washroom. The washroom stall that I used was decent. No complaints. I loved dining here. I'd return again for more good eats and drinks. (309)

Went for lunch today as a group of 5 adults & 4 toddlers…read more Just due to timing, initially we only got seated at one table before the table next to us freed up to be combined, which worked out since a couple of the kids were napping in the car. Only cold tea was brought out first for the adults, so we did need to ask for water and cups for the kids. After ordering, dishes came out very staggered apart. First the pho dishes, then some appetizers, main dish, another main dish, and then much later, the remaining main dishes, and last appetizer. Unluckily, mine was brought out last so I kind of lost my appetite by then and I'm a slow eater as well so only had a few bites by the time everyone else in group had already finished eating. Since it was a holiday, it was pretty busy and they only had 3 servers taking orders and expediting food, so understandably service was on the slower side. Overall, food was comparable to other similar restaurants of this type of cuisine.

The menu has been updated since last year to reflect the increase in food and transportation costs of their ingredients.

The owner/waiter was friendly & attentive and greeted me with a glass of tea. I ordered P1. Medium - Pho Dac Biet $13.99 (Pho with meatballs, tendon, tripe, rare & brisket beef)... basically their version of the "House Special." So the broth was good. It is very flavorful without the need to add anything. The meats were also done to my liking: tendons soft with just enough bounce, tripe clean tasting. The noodles cooked perfectly, but the portion was a bit small compared to other Pho places like Metro Pho. My usual goto Pho restaurant. So the Pho was good and I would recommend and would visit again if in the area. But it would not replace my usual Pho place in Scarborough.

We came by as a large group on Sunday lunch hours and were surprised that it was quite empty…read more FOOD (2/5) For my girlfriend and I, we ordered a Large Pho w/ Rare Beef and Brisket (#38) and a side of Fresh Rolls. The fresh rolls came as two but had a strange almost stinky smell which deduced to be coming from the chive/lemongrass garnish on the plate. The rolls are quite standard and is served with a peanut based sauce. The pho was a bit disappointing since it didn't feel like there was a whole lot of noodles, the beef was a bit overcooked (almost as if it wasn't rare went it was put in the bowl) and the broth was a bit bland and watery. DRINKS (4/5) As usual, we ordered two Viet Iced Coffees which is served as it is still dripping into a cup with condensed milk. Once finished you mix it yourself and add it to a cup filled with ice, which I've seen other restaurants do as well. The coffee wasn't as strong as other places imo but still good nonetheless. SERVICE (5/5) The staff was super helpful and friendly. The owner even came out and asked if we would like to experiment our viet iced coffees with coconut milk instead. They do accept Amex too! AMBIENCE (2.5/5) Feels super mom-and-pop/family-run which gives it a bit of a homier feel. But decor was definitely dated and the menus being taped under the table glass felt a bit strange. VALUE (3/5) Pricepoints are similar to other Vietnamese restaurants but I think the food here is supbar in terms of taste and a volume. ACCESSIBILITY (4.5/5) Located right at Warden and Eglinton, this plaza will be really easy to commute to once Line 5 opens up. There is a decent amount of parking although can be busy at peak times. OVERALL (2.5/5) I was hoping this local restaurant was going to amaze me but sadly left disappointed. I think there are better Viet restaurants out there but understandably there aren't as many options in this area. I think the biggest let down was the taste and quality of the food and it seems other Yelpers share a similar experience.
