Better experience today than previous yelper reviews! Small restaurant but looks newer and not as worn in as most Pho places. Came on weekend lunch rush so we did wait longer than usual. We were amongst the rush hour and take out orders so it was busier than expected. Our specific server did not speak English, she wasn't even switching to broken English despite our charades. It was pretty interesting how she kept chatting away to us despite my English responses. However, when the food arrived, we were pleasantly surprised at the quality, quantity and price point. Ordered the medium House Specials ($13.98), it came piping hot with an assortment of beef cuts, from medium rare tender beef slices, tender slow cooked beef strips, beef balls, tripe/stomach slices. One tray of sprouts, lime wedges and Thai basil leaves to share. It was more than enough to satisfy for a meal. Interesting observation for their washroom.... Even my partner commented how this was the nicest and cleanest washroom we've ever seen from an Asian restaurant, let alone Pho place. Yes, there were still boxes of soap and bleach in the corner but otherwise it was actually clean! read more

Very good food with lots of meat. The curry chicken is one of my favourites. The Vietnamese noodles and mong is also good.

I really like this place as the prices and portion are very reasonable. Nowadays you can't really get Vietnamese food elsewhere for this price range. I ordered #403. The service was quick, didn't need to wait long to get our food. The only thing is it's a bit hard to find parking in this plaza but if you're willing to wait, it's worth coming. Will definitely come back again! read more

When I tell you these portion sizes are massive, I'm not lying... At Pho Mi 88, you can get HUGE bowls for an AFFORDABLE price. I got their large phos which truly can feed two with just one bowl. The service is quick and is the perfect place to have a quick lunch with your friends. The broth is average in which its not too salty however there could be a further depth in flavour. However, they compensate that through the portion. There was plenty of meat and noodles and this is truly the spot especially in the colder weather.

We ordered Uber Eats from this location - I got a chicken and prawn vermicelli, while my colleagues got some variety of chicken vermicelli. To summarize and put it succinctly, we all found the food very disappointing and disgusting. My vermicelli came with one piece of grilled prawn. Although the outside was quite crispy, the prawn was underseasoned. The inside was also quite... mushy. The prawn wasn't fresh at all! I had also asked for more vegetables, and was disappointed to find no accommodation. The lettuce itself was also quite limp and old. The worst part, however, was the chicken! It bore absolutely no resemblance to the grilled chicken you typically find in Vietnamese restaurants. The chicken was very similar to the soy sauce chicken you find at Chinese grocery stores, but much poorer in quality. The chicken was greasy, fatty, had a strong meat smell, and was tough. Don't order from this place! Not sure how the pho is, but the vermicelli was disgusting - we unanimously agreed that this was the case. read more

This restaurant can get very busy during lunch rush on a weekend, but we were lucky that a table was available when we arrived. Their menu offers a good selection of food, and even rice dishes as well. After ordering, we didn't wait too long for the food, even though the restaurant was busy. We ordered their house special beef noodle soup in regular and large, and were surprised by the size of them. The regular, was the size of a large in other pho restaurants I've been, and the large is double the size. It includes a good portion of beef, beef tripe and meat balls. Honestly, just by looking, and for the price you pay, it's worth it. The soup was pretty flavorful, but maybe was just a bit salty. The noodles were soft, and definitely had a plentiful amount as well. The beef was very soft, and complimented the soup and noodles perfectly. The meat balls tasted great, and the tripe as well. It really did hit the spot since it's so cold, and we were very satisfied. read more

[LOCATION] - 4/5 This place is located on Highway 7 and Kennedy Rd. at Langham Square in the plaza with T&T Supermarket. Parking spaces outside the front entrance is limited. I suggest parking in the underground lot. [SERVICE] - 3/5 Service was average. Our food arrived shortly after we placed our order. [DÉCOR] - 3/5 Simple, clean, and the place was empty when we came here on a Friday night. [QUALITY] - 2.5/5 Quality of meat was average, but noodles were a little overcooked and started to stick to one another. [ORDER] - 2.5/5 - Grilled Chicken with Spring Roll Vermicelli: grilled chicken was average, but not that juicy or tender. In terms of the vermicelli, I didn't like how the noodle strands began to stick to one another. On the bright side, the spring rolls were flavourful, and vegetables were pretty fresh. - Satay Beef Noodle Soup: nothing too memorable, the satay broth wasn't that spicy, noodles were a little soggy, but raw beef was quite tender [OVERALL] - 2.5/5 Overall, I would not recommend Pho Mi 88 because there was nothing special about the food, and I would prefer to go to other restaurants in Markham for Vietnamese food. read more

Pho Mi 88 is another newly open Vietnamese Noodle restaurant in the area. The interior is nice and clean and staff is welcoming. The usual menu just like other Vietnamese restaurants so I ended up order a Small House Special Pho Noodle ($7.99) just like what I usually order when I want to try out other Vietnamese restaurants. I can see how my Yelp friend would be rolling his eyes.. $8 for a Small!!!I guess this is kind of like the price point for most of the places in this area. Sadly, though the broth was served hot it was so bland tasting. Maybe one can argue that it has no MSG but tasteless watery broth was just off. I might give them another try since it is unfair to base my experience just on one dish. But for now, Pho Mi 88 was just meh for me. read more

This Vietnamese restaurant is tucked away in the T&T plaza by Hwy 7 and Kennedy and I never really noticed it before but one day when I was in the area looking for pho, I came upon this listing and decided to give them a try. I opted for 2 large sized 2 item phos, 2 spring rolls, 1 pork and chicken cutlet rice, and 1 spring roll and pork chop vermicelli. The total came out around $70 and fed a family of 6. The large portion pho is seriously filling and enough for 2 people as a big meal or 3 people if they want to eat other items. The broth tasted flavourful and not too oily and the meat was tender. Was very happy to have stumbled upon this pho restaurant and will probably make it my regular go to place when I'm in the area. read more

The place is small, but finding a spot is not hard, the 2 woman working the front tables are very quick and Attentive and food comes very quick. The food is delicious and comes with LOTS of toppings. I enjoyed all the dishes they offer. read more

Vietnamese restaurant with a menu that's only in English and Chinese. Food: 2/5 Broth not very flavorful. Service: 3/5 Very slow for pho. Environment: 4/5 Meh. Washrooms: 4/5 Quite spacious Worth it?: 2/5 Better Vietnamese places around. Decided to give this place a try when we were in the area. A Vietnamese place with no Viet on the menu should have been a clue it wasn't going to be that great. Everyone decided to keep it simple and got pho with beef. Being a simple dish to prepare, I was assuming the food would be out in around 5 minutes. That is usually the case when I order Pho anywhere else or even go back home for some of the families secret recipe. We ended up waiting well over 30 minutes. The soup broth wasn't clear like northern style pho, nor was it flavorful like southern style pho. It was overall disappointing. What made the whole experience worst is that when I ended up paying for the bill, the lady at the cash rounded me up to the nearest 5 cents even tho I was paying by debit. I wasn't going to say anything over 2 cents but I was not impressed and will never come back here. If you are scamming people for pennies, I wonder what else you are cutting corners on. I almost want to make it a 1 star just for that. read more

I've been here only two times but based on my most recent visit it has definitely improved a lot. It was probably the best pho I've ever had in Markham. The beef was nice, tender and juicy, the soup base was very good and they gave us lots of pho. Worth a visit if you are craving Pho in Markham for sure Food 4.5/5 - I ordered a large bowl of pho with rare beef. The beef was actually rare when it came to me (good thing) which meant that by the time that I ate it, it was not overcooked like it sometimes is at other pho places. The beef was also very soft and tender, so the quality was pretty good. The pho tasted great and the soup base was very flavourful. The chilli oil here was also pretty spicy and added a nice kick for a spice lover such as myself. Overall it was very filling. Service 3.5/5 - Service could definitely be faster, but it is not terrible. There is only one waiter working at the front, so wait times can get bad during peak hours. Service was good otherwise. Price 4/5 - Compared to other pho joints I think this place was just a little more expensive? However I was very full after my meal and it tasted great, so I'd say its worth the money. read more

For some reason my dad loves this place for their pho and so does my family, I guess it depends on personal preferences? I don't really like the broth, it almost tastes artificial but not a good msg artificial, it leaves a funny after taste. The main reason I give this 2 stars is because of the service. They give you dirty looks when you don't tip (i know many asian restaurants do that but im not giving you a good tip if you're not deserving of it ‍). There was even an instance where my parents and I sat down but they told us they were out of pho and were about to close?? Excuse me??? So yeah, not my favourite pho place read more

Unfortunately, after I sat down and got comfortable in this clean, comfortable and.. empty establishment, I checked in on yelp and saw only 1.5 stars.. what? It's plain rude to just get up and walk out, especially when you're their only customer.. so, I stay put and gave them the benefit of the doubt. Good choice! 3.5 stars in total. The place is comfy and the service was stellar, with a very nice asian lady running the place. She was very nice and made sure everything was ok- drinks, seats and everything else. I ordered the satay beef noodles and I was very satisfied, even though the satay tasted more like a less sour tom yum soup. Still very good! The serving was huge for $7.99 and it was just delicious; the noodles were chewy and tasted amazing. There was so much beef in my bowl that it was endless and I had to give some to my boyfriend because it was simply too much for one gal to finish. He ordered the lemongrass chicken rice and indeed it was tasty! Not bad at all. I certainly do not believe this place deserves only 1-2 stars! Good food, good servings, good service- it's not my favourite place to eat for sure, but I'd definitely come back if I'm near by. Parking is kind of crap.. so many restaurants and random places opening up in this area and the way they designed the parking lot makes me want to cry. The turns are horrific and there are singular spaces created by blocking off concrete.. I'm so confused! Place some bad (usually asian) drivers in the area, looking for a spot to go lounge at T&T or cha me cha and you've got yourself a nightmare. Ps. pho mi? Hahahaha read more

I've been to many pho places and this is my favourite by far! Every bowl is very full and they don't skimp out on meat like some of the other places. I always get the medium and can't even finish it. We also tried their curry fish balls and they are amazing as well. My mom and I come here all the time and love it! Definitely would recommend. read more

Pho Mi 88 - 2 house special beef noodle soup (M) - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Pros: Friendly service Portions are good Choose your meat in your pho Cons: Broth could be better Forgive me for not having pictures for this review, I was so hungry I dug in immediately as soon as the pho arrived. Before I came, I looked up the reviews of this place. It's really all up and down. Either you had a great experience, or a terrible one. My experience was a great one. I do a lot of shopping at the TnT supermarket so having a pho place in the same plaza is a big plus. As soon as we walk in we're greeted by a lady with a big smile. She speaks predominately mandarin, but was very nice. We pick a booth and as we set up our little seat for my youngest daughter, she was concerned about safety of our daughter in the booth. We told her we do it all the time and she never falls in a booth. Very nice to see such concern for customers. We ordered 2 bowls of pho, spring rolls and a milk tea. This place lets you select up to 3 items for your bowl of pho. I really like when pho places like you do this. I like rare beef, tendon and beef balls in my pho and you will never see this combination in a pho menu. Having the choose your own option lets you have pho the way you want it, big plus. The meat portions they give you here are crazy good. Like I said, I like beef balls in my pho. Usually, I'm lucky if I see 4 halves in my bowl. I got at least 8-10 halves in my bowl. I got large chunks of tendon and a large amount of rare beef too. I was very impressed how much I got in a bowl. The spring roll was on the smaller side but your here for the pho so no big deal. The broth could of been more flavourful. It was salty enough, but that was about it. I can easily look past that here because of the portion of meat I got. All in all, I had a really great experience here. I didn't experience any of the negative things the other reviews had when I came. I have no idea what to make of that really. I personally would recommend this place. read more

I was putting this place off due to all the poor reviews but because of Amy Z's review, it gave me more confidence to come here. I ordered the same dish she had which was the satay beef noodle soup $7.99 Service is super fast as I got my bowl of noodle within 2 minutes of ordering. The soup looked like lava and it did have a little kick to it. The vermicelli noodles were like pho noodles but a bit thicker I think. The satay beef was basically rare beef like you would find in pho. The reason for the 4 star is because there was tons of rare beef. Almost every slurp of noodles came with beef. And every time I dug into the bottom of the bowl I found more beef. Plus the beef was sliced super thin and was super rare and it cooked perfectly in the hot soup. The portion of the noodles is a bit small for me but I enjoyed everything about this dish. read more

I'm a picky eater that has gone to many places to eat. And I must I'm really impress for the quality of food! We ordered a Vietnamese noodles and green curry chicken.

Overall, my boyfriend and I will definitely return for food! One less star for the not hot enough soup..... read more

I happened to pass by here when I went to Cha Me Cha, and it happened Cha Me Cha wouldn't open until 3. It happened that it's its grand opening, and my stomach happened to start rumbling. We went in and were greeted right away. The spring roll came pretty fast, and the four pieces were presented well on the dish. But they didn't have that crispiness. Next came the green curry beef brisket with rice. The curry wasn't spicy, the beef wasn't tender, but the curry was delicious. Last came the House Special Beef noodle. The soup wasn't hot and it was kind of tasteless. Meat was overcooked. Excellent service tho! *10% discount* read more

I came here for lunch on Friday. The vermicelli were just meh. The egg roll was dry. The pork was not tender. The whole vermicelli looked sad. The soup noodle didn't flair much better. Everything was in a broth, so, of course, the meat was not dry. The broth was supposed to be spicy, but it was way toned down. I can't eat too spicy in general. I still found the broth tasted with just a hint of spiciness. Both the vermicelli and the soup noodle had sufficient portion of noodle, so you would be full. read more

Location: it's located in a convenient spot where all the nearby restaurants are and the t&t restaurant in the same plaza. Therefore, you do not need to worry about parking since you'll always manage to find it. Food: it was a cold winter evening and we were just looking for a bowl of warm and hot noodles for dinner. We stumbled in this place and lucky for us, there was plenty of tables available no wait. My husband ordered the regular bowl of pho with rare beef, brisket, flank... The regular... And I ordered the satay noodle soup. For one size bowl--they were really generous with the quantity of beef slices for both his and my order. It was a huge size ( not like your regular s, m, l to choose from). They get the stars for generosity of the amount of noodles and meat proportion. However, their pho noodle soup base was really lacking in the flavor. It was really bland. Sadly, it didn't satisfy my craving for a tasty, flavorful bowl of broth. My order of satay beef noodle soup had a surprisingly different flavor than how I imagine satay should taste. It tasted rather like a Tom yum soup ( because it has a sour kick and a bit of spicy notes). Errrrrr, I don't think I would have ordered satay soup of I knew it would end up tasting little like Tom yum. I can't say it's a full Tom yum broth.... But I may have expected a different flavor. I do prefer my really flavorful broth more than the bland pho noodle soup. Thank you for your generous amount of meat though!! It is very much appreciated!! read more

Had a craving for pho and wanted to give this restaurant a try. For a Saturday during lunch time they were not very busy. Service was a little slow. We ordered one satay beef noodle soup and one house special beef noodle soup. Both soup bases were not overly salty which was good. The texture of the noodles were ok but I thought they were a little thick. Price wise, they are about the same as other pho restaurants ranging from $8-12 for a bowl of noodles. Don't think I'll be going back anytime soon as there are much better pho options in town. read more

$9 for a 3 item medium pho.. $10 tax and tip included.. 3.5 stars... probably one of better pho places.. The rare beef was sliced really thin!!!! Which makes it a smaller portion but tastes better.. it's probably the thinnest I have had at a pho place.. The beef tendon was cut nicely and portioned nicely! Service was quick! Not 4 stars because it's a bit pricier then market.. but still. Wet affordable. read more

Good phó and even better chili oil, spicy and the perfect aroma for phó! If you're craving a good large bowl of phó at a great price, this is the spot. Their broth was decent, meat was a good portion but their chili oil is what got me to give them 4 stars. I swear if they made this chili oil and sold it I would buy it all the time. Unfortunately they don't take credit card, only cash or Canadian debit cards ONLY so make sure you come prepared! read more

Pho Mi 88 is at the corner of the Langham Square plaza so I'd highly recommend going early if you don't want to deal with the nightmare of the small parking lot. The place itself looks fairly clean and is reasonably small. There wasn't much of a crowd around noon-hour on a weekday. I ordered the vermicelli with chicken, which was actually pretty flavourful. I wouldn't mind an option for a bigger portion though. We also got lamb skewers, but I wasn't the biggest fan of whatever they put on/in the meat. My girlfriend got rice noodles with beef and beef broth. It wasn't bad but neither of us viewed it as exceptional. The service is a little up and down. The main waitress we had was wonderful while her colleague was a little rude - she pretty much ignored what I said or asked her, instead opting to talk to my Chinese-speaking girlfriend. I didn't say anything complex so I'm not sure what the issue was. I'd consider returning. Though this place didn't wow me, we'll see what another visit feels like. read more

Fantastic pho, and some of the best priced vietnamese food in the city. The owner and staff are pretty nice and seem to recognize most of their regulars. They're clearly very hardworking people and the food is well worth the wait for when the restaurant is busy. They've changed their noodles recently which I'm not too big a fan of, but its nothing that would keep me from coming back :D read more

It's not bad (but I had better). Pho noodles are softer than other pho restaurants. I ordered a satay beef noodle, tomato beef brisket noodle and a chicken wrap. My favorite was the satay beef noodle and chicken wrap. It is a nice take out place, I called ahead and when I arrived 10m later everything was ready. When i went to pick up 7:45pm, the restaurant only has one table of two and they were getting the bill. read more

My least favourite pho place by far. Not only was service slow, the staff appeared to be flustered and hard to get a hold of. It wasn't that busy but all the tables were full and half of the tables were already served. They had trouble with the debit machine as well which added to their frustration. The broth while super hot tasted more like boiling water than a beef base broth and although there were los of noodles and toppings, I think the price is a little high given the lack of flavour. I don't think I'll be returning only because there are other places that offer much higher quality food and service. read more

Literally nothing special. Restaurant is very quiet and empty, even so our service was slow and food arrived late. Everything tastes ok but soup could use more flavour.

Came here on a Saturday night, I was planning to try the Korean restaurant next door, but too big of a line up. With a hungry kid with me, I really can't wait in line. This pho place is not even half full. It makes me worried. Seems like it has changed ownership since my last visit. The staffs are mainland Chinese, instead of Vietnamese. The women in front speak Mandarin, don't understand Cantonese, and hardly on English. We ordered the house special beef noodle soup and lemongrass pork chop on rice. The pork chop doesn't taste like what I usually get from other Vietnamese place. The meat is bland. And it comes with regular Chinese rice instead of Vietnamese broken rice. The noodle is just average. Soup is just okay and on the salty side. The meat are not high quality meat, mostly rare beef, beef brisket. Not much beef ball, beef tripe, and no tendon. I don't expect this place to last long with so many good pho places in the area. read more

Pho Mi 88..originally we were not planning to eat here.. we wanted to go to their neighbour Wonton Chai but unfortunately they were closing and not taking anymore business so that's why we ended up here... At first, I was excited to try this place as I really luv viet food...and am always looking for new places to try... It's a new place so the atmosphere was clean and new.. when we sat down at our booth..the menu was placed down with tea.. we realized the choices were so limited...there were probably less than 30 items to choose from...I'd always order the viet spring rolls becuz I personally believe this is how I can judge if they make good food or not...and drum roll please.... epic fail....pieces were so little and doesn't taste like viet spring rolls... We ended ordering the special beef noodle pho... we were literally able to count how many pieces of beef were in there... and the soup base was extremely bland... tasted like water...for heavens sake, at least use some campbells chicken stock... Nope I'm not coming back until so positive reviews... read more

[LOCATION] - 4/5 Easy enough to find, only issue is that parking can be hard to come by, especially if you don't like underground lots. [SERVICE] - 5/5 Service was good. Just need to communicate what you want. [DÉCOR] - 4/5 Clean and orderly place. Nothing special. [QUALITY] - 5/5 Quality of food was great! Portions also larger (especially amount of meat) compared to other pho places. [ORDER] - 5/5 - Ordered the special beef soup but modified it for golden (yellow) curry soup base (small additional charge) but well worth the extra money. The curry is what sets this place apart. [OVERALL] - 4.5/5 Would recommend, this restaurant is cleaner than most pho restaurants (especially the washroom) and with free parking and a convenient grocery store nearby so you don't have to go elsewhere for groceries after. read more
