I've been there so many times and this place is my favourite Vietnamese spot. The menu is vast and everything is so good that it ends up making you confused on what to order. I love their Tom yum soup, salt and pepper calamari, rare beef pho and avacado steak. Hidden gem on their menu is the clay pot basa. read more

Pho Mi 289 is a Tardis - bigger on the inside than the outside. Located in Meadowvale Town Centre, I think it's one of the few original tenants in the complex. If eaten here maybe 10 times. Going into this review I'm going to admit I'm more of a Ramen fan than a Pho fan. My wife and I were here for a late lunch. The place was pretty quiet at 3:00pm on a Saturday. There were maybe five other groups dining. We were served tea right away. We shared spring rolls to start and I had the 432 - Spicy Beef vermicelli The spring rolls were good. Very flavourful and bigger than the standard spring rolls we are used to elsewhere. My main the 432 was good. It came with three different types of beef. As a ramen fan, there was more beef than I'm used to in ramen. I'm not a big fan of pho and I think it's due to the noodles. The meat and the broth leave nothing to complain about. This is not an issue with this restaurant Will I repeat here - yes I will. There's an extensive menu with all kinds of stuff. read more

It's located at Meadowvale Centre with lots of other restaurants, Metro and Canadian Tire. The entrance looks small but the restaurant is quite large inside. We sat at a corner away from everyone else. The menu is your typical Viet food which I love. The chicken vermicelli could use more carrots. The chicken was flavourful. The spring roll was crispy and nice. It was a nice meal. I would love to try their other dishes. Service was good. The washroom was clean. A nice hidden place in this plaza with other international eats. read more

Pho Mi 289 - a plate of food on a table - Vietnamese Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

I am actually so disappointed as to how much Pho Mi 289 has deteriorated in quality over the years. I think today might be the last time I come here. I arrived with 40 minutes left until closing. The staffs were quite impatient and keeps on checking if you finished or not so they can take the bowls away. I ordered a drink/dessert, and it never came. After I was almost done with the meal and asked them for it, they simply waved their hand and said no more. That's fine but shouldn't you tell me about it? Worse yet, they charged me that item when I was paying. I had to remind them that the item wasn't served for them to take it off the bill. The worst part is the food. It might be because it's near the end of day, the food was sloppy. Noodles were overcooked, soup was bland, spring rolls' edge was hard as a rock. The whole meal tasted stale and it just seemed to be heated up. There are barely much meat / beef stripes in the pho soup I ordered. The spring rolls are half the size as it used to be. I was horrified by how stingy this whole place has become. Look, either you tell your customers that you don't want business with half an hour left till closing, or you take the business willingly and serve up your food properly - you took the full money after all. The food, service, quality, used to be 4/5 stars. Today, the portions are unbelievably small (even the bean sprouts). Of course I understand there's cost increases and what not, but they raised the prices too? Overall, just not a place I want to go anymore 2/5. There are much better pho places. Do note I've been to Pho 289 more than 20 times over the past few years. I know when a restaurant is sinking. read more

Today's gloomy weather calls for some piping hot pho! Got me reminiscing about this delicious spread I got the other day with my sister :') We got the following: - 13. Deep Fried Pork Spring Rolls - 30. Salt and Pepper Squid - 213. Well Done Brisket Rice Noodle Soup - 227A. Satay Beef Rice Noodle Soup - 979. Avocado smoothie Everything was so yummy and comforting, the portions were very generous. Our food came out quick and the service was great! Pho Mi 289 is definitely a well known family restaurant, you could tell they knew a lot of the people walking in whether it was takeout or dine in! They're definitely a hidden gem and I'm glad we stumbled across them, if you haven't tried them before make sure you check them out y'all :) read more

Menus are really old. You need to update your site. I don't understand why u would have 6 years old menu.

This restaurant is great for quick gatherings during work lunches with small or large groups. The prices are very reasonable, you will not spend more than $15 and you will leave satisfied. There service is really fast which is great if you're in your lunch break and can easily only be at the restaurant for 30 minutes if that's all you have. I like the selection of food offered, there's your typical pho, noodle bowls with BBQ meats and fried egg rolls and lots of Thai and stir fry available too. I do wish however that they would have more vegetarian options since I'm sure it's easy to BBQ some tofu and put in bowl. So far the only vegetarian dishes they have are the veggie soup, stir fry and fried noodles. There's probably only 4 options available. When you pay, note that you have to go to the front cash to pay and you will not get a receipt at your table. read more

Ordered today from Uber Eats because sadly we have no food at home and everybody is tired to cook. So I ordered my staple order which is beef with tripe pho and I also ordered a side of pork chop and a fillet of fish as we have cooked rice at home. As for the serving size, I am starting to think that we have shrink-flation now as the sizes or the serving sizes are shrinking. I did she that there was an ample amount of rice noodle however, the amount of beef and tripe was lacking. As for the taste, it was okay and tasted what you would expect from pho. The order from the store was $20.91 however since I ordered from Uber Eats. As I was tired from work and it was rainy, the order totalled to around $30.89. I should probably save more of my money but my stomach is happy and I think this is an okay purchases. The food was filling and it was a necessity. As for my recommendation, I keep saying now that I should just go to the store and buy in-store but buying from a delivery app is so convenient and I have to be more proactive in saving my money. Final thoughts is that my stomach is happy. However, improvements could be made on the portion size which might be impossible because of the increase in prices of everything. Update: review i ordered again the goat curry and although the taste was a little gamey, it was a good serving and it was good to try it out! read more

The quintessential place to get Vietnamese cuisine in Meadowvale at an affordable price. Price: The price point is good. A medium sized pho is $8.50 and it fills me up without making me feel bloated after. The dishes normally range in the $9-$12 range. Service: Service was okay. The service is only transactional but the food is always hot and comes out fairly fast. Food: The pho is delicious! Not too salty but still flavorful. The additional bean sprouts and lime help change up your palette while you eat. I also enjoy ordering their rice dishes. Atmosphere: The restaurant is inviting and is a fair size. There's enough space for big crowds to a party of two. read more

They changed up their menus, increased some of their prices, and the service quality has gone down the drain. The food is quite good.. but not too sure if I'll be coming back as often as I used to because of the bad service I've been experiencing lately. There's so much unnecessary confusion with the order forms here.. most customers don't remember the exact item number of what they ordered once the order is placed and the menus are taken away. They should really add the carbon copy system and leave a second copy of the order form at the tables to ensure all orders are filled and to allow for a second copy just in case the original gets misplaced. Asking a hungry customer about their missing order number 20-25 minutes after it was ordered really won't fly especially when you're the one who lost the order. read more

Food is always amazing, as is the service - also very reasonably priced! Definitely recommend this place

I'm a longtime fan of pho and since moving back I've been on a lookout for one to become my regular. I came here on a Friday night with my husband. Food: We're not too adventurous and we like routine so we often get simple beef bowls. I ordered a small with rare beef, well done beef and beef balls. He ordered a small with beef brisket. We both really liked ours. It doesn't taste too different from other pho places (but that's not a bad thing) but we did think that there was more meat than others. I added the bean sprouts, the leafy herb and lots of hot sauce. As always we were provided with rice tea. I didn't order it this time but for the future I'd love to try a jack fruit shake. I've always enjoyed them in the past. Service: Nice and quick. We came in, sat at a table and wrote our order down on a sheet of paper which they took. The food came really quickly. I appreciated that there was always someone around in case you needed something. Be aware that the bill doesn't come to you. You have to take note of your table number (near the utensils) and pay at the bar. Overall experience: Great! This place is really big and spacious. It's also really clean. The location is pretty close to Meadowvale Town Centre with lots of shopping around. We will definitely be back for other Friday night date nights. Cost: $7.00 for the small beef pho read more

An extremely hot and muggy day today so we had to get out of the heat. Awhhhh, we were presented with a tall flask of cold water! Dinner was delicious and service was good. Food prices and portion size was very good. The metal ceiling amplified the customer conversations as the place filled up with patrons; somewhat deafening. We kept a great conversation going so that was a terrific distraction! All in all 4 stars. read more

I quite enjoyed Pho Mi 289! I have been to the meadowvale plaza a few times but never tried this pho restaurant but I'm glad my friend and I. The interior is quite spacious, renovated and new looking. On a week day evening, there were quite a few occupied tables. Similar to other pho spots, there are like a million things on the menu and good thing the first few pages had some recommendations. I settled for my usual bun bo hue and my friend also had the same item. The difference was my dish had beef tendon in it and we both had medium rare beef and brisket. The soup was flavourful and satisfying especially on a cold day. The noodles are not the same pho noodles but the rounder rice noodles- I love these noodles, they were chewy and not overcooked! Normally with this dish at other pho places, they serve fresh purple cabbage but this one had regular cabbage and sprouts which was fine. We also shared the grilled pork fresh rolls and it was tasty. The only thing was the rice paper was a little harder than usual but our noodles dishes made it all up. No complaints with the staff, we were seated and served quickly. Also I was catching up with a friend and were never felt rushed to leave. We also were served more tea/water. I will be back when I am in the area!! read more

Pho mi pho you! My favourite pho chain in the mississauga area, but this one in particular is my favourite one! The moment you walk in this place is huge! This is one of the biggest if not thee biggest viet restaurant that I have ever been to. It has a very nice decor at the front and everything is nice and simple and very clean. One big reason that this is my favourite pho mi, it's the people that work there. All the employees there are great, they are very friendly and easy to talk to. There are two employees there that will always have me coming back; the one being the big boss, or the asian super mario as my one friend would say, is really friendly he makes really great suggestions when you have no idea what to eat. As well, when it's not busy he will come and sit at my table and talk to me and my friends for a while. The 2nd guy, is a younger guy, very friendly as well and he likes to tell jokes. On to the food, most people who come to this place its all about the vietnamese soup or pho. This is the biggest reason why most people come here, but if you don't want soup, the great thing about here is that there are so many options; from vietnamese, chinese, and thai food. One lil thing that I've noticed with the pho soup, is that the small and medium size soups are not that much different. The only difference I see is that the medium soup has more broth but the same amount of ingredients as the small. Am i right? Let me know.... Items to definitely get - fresh shrimp roll (12) - seafood soup (113) - pho house special (201) - vermicelli w/ grilled chicken and pork (423) - grilled chicken and pork on rice (506) - satay beef on rice (513) Yes, I know the number items on the menu. Kinda tells you how often I go here. :-p read more

Pho Mi 289 - Grilled pork and chicken on fried rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Today was my first time visiting Pho Mi 89 and I'm surprised I have not heard of this place before and I am Vietnamese! This restaurant has a very similar name to Pho Mi 99 and the menu and pricing is the same. I generally order rice with the grilled porkchop and chicken every time I eat at a Vietnamese restaurant. I was excited to try this dish here to compare to the other places I've been to. The porkchop tasted good...it tastes pretty much the same as the other restaurants. However, I was disappointed with the grilled chicken. It was slightly dry and wasn't marinated well compared to Pho Mi 99 or Pho Dau Bo. I also had the spring rolls there and it was good...but not as good as Pho Mi 99. Overall, I would recommend for you to eat here if you were in the area and were looking for Vietnamese food. However, if you were near a Pho Mi 99, I would definitely suggest that one over Pho Mi 89. Haha! I am not hating on Pho Mi 89...I just love Pho Mi 99 (especially the one on Latimer Drive). read more

I miss eating good pho. I haven't found a good pho restaurant in the GTA. The Pho Mi chains are mediocre at best. I have tried a number of their dishes. The best so far is the beef stew (#227), which is essentially large chunks of tender beef with pho noodles in a reddish broth. You also can't go wrong with their traditional pho dishes. I have also tried their seafood in a nest. The picture in the menu is misleading because it shows noodles. I was tricked into buying this on two separate occasions because of the photo. My suggestion is to avoid the seafood. Some of the squid smelled funky. Their fried rice is too dry and too pricey for what you get. Update: Their fried rice with "curry" isn't curry sauce. It's curry seasoning. I was unhappy about it. One dish that I did like was their rice with grilled chicken and fried egg. I was hoping for an over-easy egg, but it was sunny-side up. read more

It's your typical pho/Asian restaurant... 1. Walk in. 2. With a show of fingers, you tell them for how many people. 3. They point to a table for you to sit at. 4. They place menus on the table. 5. They serve tea. 6. You order. 7. Food comes. 8. You eat. 9. You pay. 10. You leave. Simple. There's very little interaction with the server unless you want something or if something is wrong. All they care about is you eating and paying lol Food was good but been to better pho restos. I ordered medium rare beef with beef balls and rice noodles. There was a good amount of meat and noodles buttttt still had better. read more

I went here with my parents yesterday for a late lunch. It wasn't busy, which I chalked up to it being late afternoon and on a weekday. But then again, maybe it was like that for other reasons too, hmm :thinking:. We hadn't been back in a long while since the service had gotten really bad under the previous management. This time, I would describe the overall experience there as just "fine", but nothing extraordinary. The staff were friendly enough, but they forgot to bring out some of the things included in the platter until asked (e.g., rice wrappers, hot water). The pho was okay, but it seemed more like a broth made with powder rather than beef bones. The smoothie was good, but it's a smoothie - which is not the main reason why I go to pho places. So... yeah... "fine" just about sums it up. This won't be the first place I think of for lunch, but at last it was fast - so it has that going for it, which is nice. read more

I absolutely have a soft spot for pho places. This place did not disappoint me. We came in around 9:15pm on a Sunday and it was quite empty. They automatically brought us tea to drink. After we wrote down what we wanted they did not take long at all to being us our food! I got a small special pho and it was a decent size for the price. It was piping hot! Extremely tasted and flavourful. I will be returning here if I am ever in the Meadowvale Town Centre area in Mississauga. read more

Pho me once, pho me twice.... Went here twice out of necessity because of pho lightning speed and proximity to some of our prenatal classes. First time wasn't good, we chalked it up to a bad night, however tonight we were running late so we tried it again. The pho itself was alright, piping hot, good meat to noodle ratio, but the fresh roll skins were very tough, the fried spring rolls were nearly burnt and the final kick in the pants, the bean sprouts were brown with that long dying stringy bit at the ends. Maybe a grilled meat plate or bun would have been a better choice. I prefer Pho mi 99, or Cow head (not sure of the real name!). Pho'd me twice...sigh. read more

It was my first time at this Pho place and while I was impressed with the size of the restaurant (wasn't expecting it to be so big by looking at the storefront from the outside), I was not happy with the food. My sister ordered the Pho - the noodles were cooked perfectly and the broth was good, but it was a bit light on the meats, etc. I ordered the vermicelli bowl and while most other restaurants fill up the food to the brim, the bowl that I was presented with was underwhelming - the spring roll was yummy, but there wasn't enough noodles, veggies or meat pieces. The only reason why I tried this place was because it was close to home. Next time, I'll drive a bit further and go to I Love Pho on Dundas or even the Pho Mi 99 chain. read more

Our go-to spot for Pho. Mostly because it's close to home more than anything else. Broth can be counted on to be hot and tasty. Lots of seating so never an issue with getting a table right away. The shrimp rolls are made in advance and can get a little chewy but most of the time are good. The deep fried spring rolls are always a hit. Tea is poured when you sit but isn't generally refilled. Service is quick otherwise. Prices are about average. read more

Pho Mi 289 - Vietnamese Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

To start off, I have never been at a PHO`s before, but I have had pad thai so I figure I got the basics down. As soon as I walked in with a friend, we`re greeted by an employee who stares at you and puts up his fingers with how many people he thinks are in your party. I put 2 fingers up and he pointed at where we should park ourselves. So far, so good. Many times employees don`t even acknowledge you`ve been waiting to order for 20 minutes, and here, they notice you as soon as you open the door. Brilliant. So then we get the menus and start looking through it. Now, I used to watch a lot of that show ``Restaurant makeover^`- you know the one where they tear down the restaurant and change the entire menu. Well, one of their rules is to keep the menu to one page. Pho has at least 8 pages. I`m not complaining since I love options, but when you`ve only ever tried Pad Thai, it can be overwhelming. After searching for a bit, I found the Pad Thai on page 6 - success .Now to order. We sat there, looking around in patience, seeing how the employees were walking back and forth being busy so since neither of us want to be rude and put our hands up, we simply waited until someone was ready to come to us. Luckily, this guy sitting next to us (who kept staring, putting me on edge and making me want to tell off soon) nicely told us that we had to fill out our order on the sheet of paper on the table and hand it in. So I guess they werent for coloring on after all...... We then get out food. I ordered the Pad Thai and calamari in curry, and my friend ordered some beef noodle thing and frog legs. The Pad Thai was amazing - probably the best I ever had. The calamari, not so much.. I love calamari, but I figured the dish would be fried calamari with curry dip. To be fair, the menu didn't say anything about anything being fried, nor the curry being a dip, so that was my bad. I didn`t like it-- Frog is something I`ve never had before, nor is something on my bucket list, but I figured id try it out. Many people say strange meat usually tastes like chicken, and this was no different. It was actually really good. I didnt expect that much meat on a frog leg but these had quite a bit. I wondered if it may have been a toad as I ate, but thought I should stop thinking about it before I weird myself out. Overall - the food was great - the employees and customer service were very good, and the prices were decent as well. I`d definitively come back read more

Similar to my last review, Pho Mi 89 has stared at me many a night over the years. For whatever reason, I never ventured in. I think it had more to do with my need to be somewhere else than my desire for soup but who knows. Pho Mi 89 is deceptively large. From the outside you would think that it was a decent sized restaurant but then you enter an ice rink sized room with tables and chairs everywhere. I have never had to wait for a seat even when it's packed to the gills because there always seems to be one more table hiding in the back. They serve a mixture of Vietnamese and Chinese dishes ranging from noodles and pho to tripe to condensed milk shakes. The portions are large and well worth the money. Their large menu has something for everyone as I've taken omnivores, vegans and folks that just won't eat anything that doesn't involve steak in some way. I would dare say that it was the first "authentic" place of it's kind that I've been too in Mississauga. If I wasn't looking out the large front windows I would swear I was in an out of the way, off a side street place in Toronto. The only "competition" in the area are places that sell french fries as a side to their broccoli and fried rice or General Tao's chicken. Extra MSG. Pho Mi 89 is one of the few reasons I like eating in Mississauga. read more

Authentic places will serve with shredded banana blossoms. Overall it was ok ... but was not exceptional. read more

I organized a team lunch for some yummy Pho eats. Pho Mi 89 came up on one of the places to check out because of its quick service and ample seating. My colleagues and I ventured over and the location was indeed huge and busy for a Wednesday lunch time crowd. Service was great, we got our food soon after we placed out order. Unfortunately, my vermicelli dish was a bit dry; I have had better at other places. Thought, my peers liked the Pho. I might come back to try other items on their menu. read more

Pretty spacious pho place. Never seen it sits full but always has customers. Tried several times for their hue style beef pho, and they are not as strong as some other pho places; portion wise, they are standard. The beef pho soups taste good overall. Must try is their rice dishes. Liked grilled pork and grilled chicken rice dinner; liked their rice because it was not cooked broken!aha! But they give little veggies as compare to the other pho places.This time we also tried the fresh rolls, felt they were not so freshly made because the rice wrap was dried out; not a fan. The portion of the chilli stir fried cubed beef was surprisingly SMALL! Tastes fine. In general the dishes there tastes good but the portions are on the small side. read more

It's okay. Not the best. Nothing special. Only thing that stands out is that they always have seats cuz it's a huge place.

This Sunday we were in a lazy mood and looking for some lunch somewhere close to home and this Pho place definitely met our criteria. This place is located at the Meadowvale Town Center plaza along with some other great restaurant choices and we've been to this Pho place about 2-3 times for takeout. The interior was nice and spacious with a lot of seating available, which works out great during their busy lunch and dinner hours. Service wasn't very outstanding so I would have actually given this place 3 stars if the quality of the food we ordered didn't taste so amazing. We walk in and the lady at the counter didn't acknowledge me when I approached. After 5 minutes of waiting, I had to say "Excuse me", to get her attention and ask her for a takeout menu, which she gave us along with an order form and pencil. Luckily, their menu is efficiently organized by letter and number that we just indicate in writing on the order form so even if there are language barriers, there are less chances of them messing up your order. We ordered 2 chicken rice dishes with fried egg, and also added on a pork with shredded pork skins rice dish to share between me and my husband, just to try something new. The portions are generous considering the cheap price we paid for all of the food. The total of all items ordered came to about $27 before taxes and tip. Their chicken was nice and soft to eat and had a nice flavoring and their shredded pork was addictive. We were also pleased that they gave us an overabundance of lard to pour on top of our food for even more tastiness. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place if you're living in North Mississauga and are craving Vietnamese food with reasonable prices. read more

Love this place! Go to it all the time. The food is great and definitely affordable for a student like me. $4 bucks, and you and your friend can share a big pho bowl!. However, one thing i do not like is that when I ask the old guy for like 4 bowls, (how are we supposed to eat 2 big phos alone) he ends up giving us like two. But rather than that the service is great. Overall delicious and affordable restaurant. read more

This is a pretty standard pho place, meaning it's good. It doesn't have the best broth, but it is more than adequate to fill my pho cravings. I only ever order 2 or 3 things. Most of the time I order their "special" which comes with an assortment of beef. Once in a while I will order a vermicelli dish. Never had anything bad. Prices are reasonable. Typical of all pho places, there's no service and if you're expecting service, you need to adjust your expectations. read more
