We ordered take out, and the staff is super friendly. It was around 4/5pm on a Sunday afternoon and there were a few tables so I can imagine it can get quite full during peak hours.  The order was prepared pretty quickly. The staffs was friendly and funny.  Everything tasted great, the pho, the rice and the shrimp rolls are all great. It was more than enough. read more

Great little place for decent and affordable viet food. Inside the plaza at Kennedy and bur oak. Great appetizers (e.g. spring rolls, rice paper rolls etc) need noodle soup (S $7.25, M $8.35, L $9.25), egg noodle soup, rice dishes, vermicelli, fried rice, pad Thai, smoothies etc. Quality of dishes are not disappointing or average at all. One of the most common avocado smoothie is done just right too. Soup broth is flavorful, texture of noodles are nice. The satay broth is more spicy than most other Vietnamese restaurants so beware. Clean simple place inside with booths and tables. Service is quite speedy. You mark your own choices on a piece of paper. They accept, credit and debit but not American Express. They also accept Vicinity points cards too for each dollar you spend. Overall nice place to eat at especially if you live in the neighbourhood. read more

The first time I visited Pho Metro was half a year ago. I decided to give this restaurant a return visit, which isn't too far away from home. Back then, I walked in for lunch. The place was half full. I ordered the grilled chicken vermicelli with a crispy spring roll. I also got fresh rolls with beef in them. I was happy with how flavourful and fresh everything was. Six months ago, I recall paying using direct deposit. All was good. I returned last weekend. Things have changed as far as card payments go. Your bill has to be at least $20 to be able to use your debit or credit card. I suppose that the restaurant is cutting down on charges that it incurs. I was there at 3 pm on Saturday for a late lunch. I ordered the grilled chicken vermicelli again. It was so good the first time that I went for it again. The chicken was flavourful and the fish and vinegar sauce was perfect. This time, I ordered pork and shrimp fresh rolls to start. Again, the ingredients were vibrant and fresh. So yummy! I realized that my meal was only at $15. I decided to order some crispy chicken wings to go. They boxed them up nicely. I was pleasantly surprised that I got seven wings. Normally, you get six wings when you order a small portion. I ate them at home a few hours later. They were delicious! The sauce on them made them so tasty. The serving staff are polite and helpful. They truly seem happy to be there. My bill total was $24 with tax. I paid with my debit card. All was well. Otherwise, I would have had to look for an ATM somewhere to get some cash. I like it here. I need to return more often. I will try the pho and see how that goes. (35) read more

Rare beef pho - sad amount of beef and the cut is not the thin fatty beef that I like. Definitely had better pho elsewhere. Spring rolls - very thin and hard Tomato beef brisket pho - broth is more flavorful than the reg pho. Can taste the marinade on the beef brisket. Could have more carrots. Overall better options for pho in the area. read more

Pho metro is AWESOME! I kept seeing all my yelp friends check in and I definitely thought it was the one at lawrence and I was like.. ugh! I don't want to travel so far for pho.. then I realized it was a new pho place near me! YAY! It opened up in the plaza right beside pierre elliot trudeau school and it's right beside pixel 8! Easy and convenient. The pho is a bit pricey for markham, standing at $8~ per medium bowl but when it came out, the medium is quite big and the pho broth was pretty clear and didn't look like it had MSG poisoning. The beef was very soft and delicious while the broth was warm and inviting. Let me tell you, there's no better feeling in the world than warm pho broth/pho noodles entering a hungry belly. I also had a vietnamese pork sausage on the side, which was tasty too. ^_^ The place is nice, clean and service is efficient. Definitely would return more often to satisfy my pho belly, especially since it's less than 10 minutes away from home. read more

Pho Metro - I'm pho-nomenal.. I know - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

[LOCATION] - 5/5 Located at the plaza on Kennedy Rd. and Bur Oak Ave. There are ample parking spots in the vicinity. [SERVICE] - 5/5 Staff were friendly and welcoming. Servers also checked-up on us a couple times. [DÉCOR] - 5/5 I love the red and black décor. The seats are also very comfortable. [FOOD QUALITY] - 3/5 Beef quality was mediocre, a little dry, and tasted like average brand of hot-pot meat. Basil & mint were fresh and good quality (standard, but good). [ORDER] - 3/5 Special Rice Noodle Soup (Small) - $7.25: comes with rare beef, beef balls, beef flank, and beef tripe. The broth was too bland. I needed a lot of sauce to enhance the flavour. Rare beef and beef flank were dry, beef balls had the right amount of chewiness, but beef tripe was too chewy and rubbery. On the bright side, the noodles were good because they were firm. [OVERALL] - 3/5 Overall, this is just an average spot for Pho. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place for the Special Rice Noodle Soup. The biggest drawbacks were the meat quality and lack of flavour in their soup. read more

Pho Metro - Special Rice Noodle Soup (Small) - $7.25 - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Super yummy. Easy and convenient! I had the pho tal and the spring rolls with lemongrass pork. Loved both, especially the lemongrass pork.

I love their P1 (pho noodle soup) with their satay sauce! Usually restaurants add extra cost for the satay but this is included (which is great haha). Their covid measures are well thought out for takeouts. It's especially difficult with the raw beef in the pho - it's nicely separated in its packaging. You just have to reheat everything again to get the hot sizzlin' pho noodle soup (this is what we miss dearly about going out to pho restaurants!) read more

This place used to be the best Viet restaurant in the area, with a packed dining room. Even during the early pandemic there was a high amount of people waiting for takeout. Unfortunately their food quality has plummeted significantly. I would consider their food now to be below average. This place used to have a very good Pho broth, and the best Pad Thai. The Pho broth is now just MSG soup, and the Pad Thai is no longer complex and is just sweet. Their only good point now is that their fried spring rolls are still the rice paper variant, instead of the wheat variant. Luckily there are tons of Viet restaurants within a ~10min drive, so I'll just find another place that isn't disappointing. read more

I had an unpleasant experience at this location. I went to this location the first time yesterday and then again today. This guy in ponytails-- is he the owner? ( he certainly sounds like the big boss) He accused me of walking in and sitting down in the restaurant by myself yesterday. When I said a lady seated us down, he said "yeah right, you did~" sarcastically. I was a bit hurt by his attitude so when I checked out, I mentioned it again, saying that he should check his security cameras because one of his staff definitely seated us. However he yelled at us and accused us of not following his house rules. I'm not sure why he would be so rude to a paying customer. Also why he would wrongly accuse people without checking his facts first. I guess he and his rules and his ego are a big deal. Definitely will not return here, waste of my $20 and having to be accused to be like a criminal. That's why I don't like small family owned business, they are a bit stingy. Portions needs to improve because there only like 3 small pieces of meat in the small size pho. Cleanliness is acceptable.. read more

My first time at Pho Metro. The food was good. Ordered P1 House special rice noodle, with beef brisket, rare beef, beef tripe and meat balls. Beef was good quality , but soup could be more hot. I would have given a 5 star if soup was hotter. We also ordered spring rolls and grilled pork rice paper roll. They were both really amazing. The viet coffee was excellent! Love the aroma of it and the taste with a bit of condensed milk. Really strong coffee! I would definitely come back. Customer service was also good, very friendly place. read more

The Good I was able to make a reservation over the phone very easily and make a last minute change over the phone to increase our numbers by four, to fourteen. No problem. The Bad The food came out in a reasonable amount of time after we ordered but the flavour was just about average to a little better than average. Our spring rolls were served to the wrong table and we didn't get ours until the mains showed up. They were long and skinny, like a cheap cigar. It was supposed to be stuffed with shrimp and pork but I saw mostly vermicelli and carrots. One of our diners had ordered a steamed vermicelli dish that included chicken, pork sausage, shrimps and vegetables. Halfway through his meal, a server brought him some rice paper wraps that were supposed to be included. Hmmm, kinda late. There was also a sheet of plastic between each wrap. Odd. Service was poor, at best. We had to call a server over several times for water, more tea, and additional orders. They just placed the food on the table and left us alone. No follow-up. The Ugly, While reaching across the table to deliver an order, our server dropped a bowl of fish sauce that bounced off the table, spilling most of it on my leg and on my friend seated next to me. The table was also soaked in fish sauce and we grabbed a whole bunch of napkins from the dispenser on the table to soak it up. There wasn't much of an apology for the mishap and ZERO attempt to clean up the mess. The wet napkins sat on the table for the entire meal! So did the overturned empty bowl. No discount was offered for the inconvenience or cleaning costs. Fish sauce may taste good but it doesn't smell good! Thankfully, I had no other plans for the evening. All the empty plates and bowls sat on the table until we left. For the record, despite the fish sauce incident, there was no tension or mean comments between us and the staff. There was just no interaction. No service. Forget about three strikes, these guys fouled out on the first pitch. Game over. read more

Pho Metro maybe the most "authentic" Pho joint in the immediate area. The menu is really simple. I just wish there are more options. The broth has good depth and wonderful aroma from the herbs used. I do wish that the beef of my rare beef pho would have stayed rare when it was served to me. But over all their food is consistent as I had been back for a couple of time since it opened. Great place in the neighbour for a quick pho fix. And the service is always friendly and fast! A little on the pricey side, especially for vermicelli bowl for $9.25?! And lunch combination for almost $10. read more

Place is nicer than the one in Scarborough. The food is average. Always order a rare beef pho at a new place and you will know if it's good or not. Order came quick. Beef was a bit tough but the overall soup and pho made me satisfied. Service was fast and friendly. Very busy but they had enough seats available to keep the line short. I did order take out and the beef was tender so hopefully there will be more consistency. 3.5/5 Would come back and try other things on the menu read more

Pho Metro - Medium size rare beef pho. For guys, a large will suffice - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Lovely restaurant and always greeted with friendly staff. We ordered uber pick up for weekend lunch and to our surprise, our food was ready on time! We have had to wait over 20 min in many restaurants before so it was a very pleasant experience even during lunch rush. The waiting area was big enough for 2-3 people to social distance and plenty of parking too. Highly recommend! read more

For a Vietnamese American that was visiting Canada for a family vacation I would say this was the most welcoming Vietnamese owned restaurant I've been too. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was very comforting and clean. My favorite drink from there has to be the Thai Tea...in my opinion it's better than the American Thai Tea over here. It had so much flavor and aroma. If I ever visit in the Markham area again I would definitely come here again. Thank you! read more

My search continues... I've been looking for a great pho restaurant in Markham and today I gambled with Pho Metro. I ordered the 'Pho Special' (rice noodle with rare beef, beef balls, beef flank and beef tripe ). Pho Special: I wish I could say the pho was delicious but it was really average. The beef balls was actually beef ball (just 1 beef ball) and the rare beef was medium, not rare. Most importantly, the soup base was bland. If you don't have a good soup base than what do you have? The service was good and the staff were friendly. The ambience is ok but most importantly, the seats and the table were clean and well stocked. read more

Pho Metro - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Good: 1. Bun Bo Hue - Love it! The noodles, the flavours, and everything in it are all great. Must get if you like spicy. Bad: 1. Tepid soup - Do not get rare meats for the pho because the soup comes out lukewarm and the meat doesn't get cooked. Disappointing. Neutral: 1. Lemongrass pork/chicken rice - It's average, pieces of meat are too thin and not quite substantial enough. Worth it?: Yes, prices are reasonable and probably one of the better pho places in the area. read more

This makes me sad because this use to be our go-to pho place in the neighborhood but during a recent visit we noticed the portions are significantly smaller for the same price. Was also given the wrong pho but it was resolved after notifying the waitress. Less noodles now in the small and medium pho, and spring rolls are very thin. Mostly wrapper, very little filling from what what it use to be over a year ago. I would much rather pay more if their costs increased for the same quality as before rather than paying the same for less quality and quantity. read more

We discovered this gem when we were passing through vaughan - seriously some of the more flavourful broths I've had in a while! I got the BBH and it reminded me of the Pho Restaurant in rhill that's currently closed under renovation. The flavours are so fresh & rich and you can see the different spices they use in the broths. They don't joke around with spicyness! I was tearing up like crazy because it was so spicy for me and I'm usually okay with spice - definitely hits the spot if you can take spice on some of their dishes! We came on a Saturday evening at around 6pm and we were able to snatch a seat but there was a line starting to form shortly after. read more

Hands down my favourite pho place - I've literally lost count of how many times I've been here over the past few months. The staff are always friendly and I am usually seated very quickly if the place is not busy. Every bowl of pho I've gotten is filled with plenty of meat - they don't skimp out unlike other places! Beef is alwsys tender and soup base is very flavourful! Bonus, they have wifi here too! read more

Pho Metro (Markham) is an excellent Vietnamese restaurant and is probably the best one around in Markham. We tried the pho, the vermicelli, the bun bo hue, and they were all fantastic.I highly recommend them all. I was really impressed with their vermicelli, it's not something I order often but I was blown away by it. They use the good kind of vermicelli and not some extremely thick one, some places do. The pork and chicken was flavorful, and the spring roll was crisp too. There was plenty of veggies which is something a lot of places don't do. The the only downside was that there wasn't enough vermicelli, which is kind of a weird complaint because there was plenty of meat! The noodle soups were both excellent. Great broth (broth that you want to actually have more of), noodles, and tons of toppings make for a great bowl of pho. Portion size could have been a tad larger but quality trumps quantity here. read more

Staff are very nice. Will come back to try other items on the menu. read more

Pho Metro - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

TLDR: Portions were really small and dishes were shallow - was not full at all (was more like a snack), but the taste was there. One of the lady's who helped us out was very polite and she was viet! For the vermicelli, portion was small, dish was shallow, and half of the bowl was the lettuce and carrots. (Pic is from when I just mixed in the sauce) For the rice, hard on the outside and soggy in the middle... the meat was very spread out and was a little dry. Good seasoning though. Overall, wouldn't come back for the price per portion. Place is relatively nice and clean - menus, chop sticks and tea cups were sticky but that's expected. read more

Great pho, by far my most favourite place that opened in that spot in recent years...everything doesn't seem to last. Soup is flavourful and fragrant. Their rare beef usually comes a touch on the over done end, but the brisket and tripe is really nice. I also like their grilled meats on vermicelli. Portions are great, a small pho will fill me happily. A large is a meal for sumo wrestlers. Best pho in the area! Simple and comforting food :) read more

Pho Metro - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

this is a great Vietnamese local restaurant the prices are regular and the service is nice ! the pho is average for me not exceptional but will leave you satisfied I would recommend a medium size because small is very small and you will not be full I would say the pho here is about 3.5/5 the broth is decent but pretty similar compared to other competitors I personally like the chicken bun. it's has nice flavours of sweetness and comes in a good portion for $9.5. the chicken is absolutely scrumptious and I love it !! 4/5 for a spring roll in the bun it is $1 more but the spring roll is crispy and fresh I also got the grilled bee and rice with egg and it was pretty awesome as well 4/5 decent portion and the beef was tender The drinks are pretty good as well I would recommend the mango smoothie first and the avocado smoothie second overall good pho place that will fulfill your cravings !! read more

We go to Pho Metro often as it is nearby. In fact, we went here for dinner tonight. The restaurant was quite busy but we were seated almost immediately. Despite how busy they were, the food came out quick. They were very nice and immediately fixed an order when we noticed it was wrong. We always get the shrimp and pork spring rolls and the avocado milkshakes. My go-to order is the rare beef pho. We have never had a bad experience here and we will always keep coming back! read more

Decent pho place hiden in a mediocre plaza. Everything in that plaza was kind of bleh, but I decided to check out Pho Metro since I was looking for something quick and close to home. Ordered the house special the first time, didn't expect anything special since house special are normally all the same but I did realize it doesn't seem to have as msg or salt so I wasn't as thirsty. The second round I ordered the grill chicken with rice. It came out being a little spicy which was surprising since the menu didn't indicate it. Overall the taste of the food wasn't too bad and the price was OK. Only complaint was that it was a little on the dirty side. read more

Recently moved so I am discovering an entirely new (to me) area of restaurants! We needed a quick dinner on a weeknight and decided to give this restaurant a try. This plaza has a few restaurants only but this was the only one that was full (impressive for a weeknight). We ordered: - pork and assorted seafood noodle soup: broth was clear but had plenty of flavour with a generous amount of seafood and meat in it. - tomato and crab noodle soup: broth had a slight tomato flavour to it and was topped with some sliced meat, meatballs and tofu puff. The meat balls had a crab flavour to it, which contrasted nicely to the tangy broth. Both noodle soups weren't overly salty, which I always appreciate. Service was prompt and friendly. Will definitely come back to try their other dishes! read more

I came here for some take out during "lunch" and was surprised to see that the restaurant was quite packed even at 3pm (especially since this plaza never gets too busy). I ordered the grilled chicken, pork, and spring rolls with vermicelli and vegetables and it was ready in about 5 minutes! So fast! It smelled delicious on my car ride home and I was happy to see my take out box was packed with both meats, veggies, and plenty of their fish sauce. It was also delicious too! Chicken and pork were very well seasoned and were meaty and juicy. The spring rolls could have been a little more crunchy for me, but I'm assuming it was softened because it was in the take out box for a little too long. Vermicelli was also plentiful and good. I feel the price was reasonable for its proportion. read more

Came here twice with my boyfriend for dinner. Both times the food was served quite quickly and hot! The service is good here but nothing extraordinary. Previously at our last visit we both had pho which was good. This recent visit I had the satay pho and my boyfriend had the Bo Kho. My satay pho didn't have enough satay so I asked for more and they brought it over quickly. Both bowls of noodles were delicious and we were very satisfied. I'd like to try the bun bo hue at my next visit. Will definitely be back! read more

Went here for lunch with friends today. The place was full of high school teens from the school immediately behind it. The students were well behaved and in social groups, but generally took over the place with conversation, including the odd swear word. This may make some a bit uncomfortable. The place is average in terms of cleanliness and the menus were higher end than a typical pho sandwich place. The service was attentive and quick. We were given hot tea, cold tea and water upon requesting. We ordered a few bowls of pho and friend rice. At first instinct the pho broth seemed to lack flavour. However, after an hour, I realized it may be because I'm used to more MSG in my pho. My mouth is not dry like usual. The noodles, meat, basil and bean sprouts were good. The fried rice was also good. Its a bit out of the way, so I will likely choose another pho place next time I have the urge. read more

Solid spot for Pho, definitely one of the better spots in Markham (better than Pho 99 by Markville for sure) . Good service, quick to serve and decently priced. Would say its a 3.5 but closer to a 4 than a 3. No complaints but nothing spectacular. Food 3.5/5 - I ordered a large bowl of pho with rare beef + beef balls and that was 9.25. Beef as nice and soft, and both the beef and beef balls were nice and flavourful but not too salty. The same goes for the soup base. It came with a sufficient amount of noodles, but I felt there could have been a little bit more meat. I also felt that the beef could have been rarer + the soup even hotter when I got it, but thats just personal preference. Service 4/5 - Good service, the waiter was friendly and polite. I got my bowl of pho pretty quick so I was pretty happy about that. The waiter also asked me how my meal went afterwards, which is actually kind of rare for a lot of Asian restaurants. Restaurant was also quite clean as I noticed that the waiter immediately cleaned the tables as soon as people left + recleaned tables. Price 3.5/5 - As I said, I feel like there could have been a bit more meat, overall the price was fair. read more

Pho Metro has very nice and fast service. I visited on a Sunday afternoon around lunch time and ordered a medium rare beef noodle soup with beef balls.

After reading other yelp reviews, i had been trying to come here forever. Finally had the chance!! Came here on a weeknight. Parking was fine, ample spaces everywhere. Got greeted and seated, so far so good. Ordered the House PHo special, and other dishes. The young waiter was friendly. Things turned worse from here on. We asked for 2glasses of water, it never came, we had to ask again. Food came one at a time... My Pho was.. ok, not great, not good. Lots of noodles, little brisket, or tendon. broth was.. ok Wife was not impressed with her order. Kids didn't finish their meal. I asked for the bill, and waited almost 10mins. i had to assume he forgot, so i had to walk up and pay at the counter. Wife says, we are going to stick to our regular pho place. So.. it wasn't a good experience. A bit disappointed especially at the service from the guy i asked for the bill. I had higher expectations from reading all the reviews. 2 stars for this experience. read more
