I had a delightful experience at Pho Pad Thai in Buttonville, Markham. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, offering a cozy spot to enjoy delicious Thai and Vietnamese dishes. I started with the pho, which had a rich broth and tender beef slices--just the right balance of flavor. The chicken curry was equally impressive, with a creamy texture and aromatic spices that lingered perfectly. Both dishes were served with well-cooked rice that complemented them beautifully. The service was friendly, and the staff was attentive without being intrusive. This is a great spot for those who love flavorful and comforting Thai and Vietnamese food. read more

This restaurant we have been coming to for many years. The quality of food changes, we returned to eat often as it improved again. We love their curry brisket with the roti. Their lamb skewers. The kids really like their garlic bread. The service depends on who is there. Majority of the staff are great. The inside of the resturant has been the same , it has booth seating and also regular table seating. The tables are a bit small usually feels very cramped when you order to share. No issues if is you order your own portion. There are a lot of parking. read more

This restaurant serves both Vietnamese and Thai food. They have an extremely large menu. Service was super fast when I went and portions are quite large. Great value. The lemongrass friend rice was quite good and the house special had a very generous portion of meat. The seating is quite comfortable as well. read more

Pho Pad Thai - Satay and lemongrass chicken fried rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Overall rating 3.4/5 First time back at this restaurant after a few years. This used to be one of my go-to Vietnamese/Thai restaurants in Markham, but the competition has gotten fierce in recent years. I was craving something cooler for lunch and happened to be in the area, so I decided to visit. The grilled chicken with spring roll vermicelli is pretty much how I remember it - the vermicelli noodles seemed thinner now, but I was satisfied with the taste and portion size. It's not too salty, but there's still a good balance of meat, veggies, and noodles with every bite. I don't think the portions are as large as they used to be for the price, but that's understandable in today's economy. Note that I didn't try their pho this time, so I'm not sure how it compares to other pho restaurants. Service was quick and welcoming. It wasn't as busy as it used to be, so take that into consideration because I recall my past experiences when they had a lunch rush, I'd definitely have to flag down a server. read more

Pho Pad Thai - Chicken and spring roll vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Pho Pad Thai conveniently located at 16th Street and Woodbine, we hadn't been there for a while. Recently we visited their Markham location twice and found the service exceptionally nice and attentive, in fact, we like both Newmarket and Markham locations. The ambiance was good and relaxing. The food are delicious and in good portion; the broth for pho is hot and in good flavour. We'll make this a regular place for our visit. read more

I think this is my third review of this place. The food is good, the service is quick and simple, and there are so many tables that it's easy to be seated when you walk in. The sound of people enjoying their food, as well as the movement in the kitchen isn't very distracting in such a large space. The pho is always tasty, and the spring rolls and the avocado smoothie are always good additions to a meal. I will definitely be back again! read more

Came to this restaurant since i was feeling thai food and my friend wanted pho and this place had both. We got the chicken pho and chicken pad thai and both dishes were very tasty but warnining - it is not very traditional. The pho tasted like regular chinese chicken noodle soup and the pad thai had a ketchup-like taste. Again, the dishes were delicious but do not expect traditional dishes. We came around dinner time and there were still lots of open tables. Servers were very nice as well. The best thing about this place is the portions are huge. read more

Was looking for a pho place and legit did a random search....this was closest to our next stop. Very pleasantly surprised! Soup base was pretty good, more beef flavoured than lemongrass. Kids liked that, hubby so-so. The rare beef was tender and the noodle portion was super generous! As usual, I deviated and got the beef stew noodle soup, and it was not bad! A bit salty, but flavourful! Service was good, not overly friendly, but at least acknowledged when we walked into the restaurant. Anne took care of us! (Nothing annoys me more, than being ignored upon arrival. Even a chin nod would placate me.) Parking is horrible right now, due to construction (as of Oct 2022). The lot is all dug up, so only a few spots. Washrooms are clean! read more

I've visited this place quite a few times now. Their service is consistent and always friendly every time we visit. The food tastes great, and I appreciate that their servers will make recommendations based on their honest opinions. Highly recommend this location if you're looking for a Vietnamese place. There's lots of parking available & comfortable seating in the restaurant. P.S. If you opt for their VIP card at a minimal cost, you'll get 10% off on every future visit! (Totally worth it) read more

My family has been coming here for years and I'm surprised that I haven't written a review yet. The food here is consistently good. I guess it never had a real "wow" factor but you'll always feel satisfied. There are certain dishes that they do extremely well and a few dishes that could be done better. But overall, you can't go wrong with this place whether its dine in or take out. Our take out dinner from last night was no exception and in fact, there were some outstanding dishes which is why it prompted me to write this review. Let's start with their pho noodles, the soup base is always flavourful and they are not stingy with the meats. We always get #201 special beef noodle soup which is a mix of rare beef, brisket, beef ball and tripe. My daughter and I get this one because of the tripe. There's a lot of places that has this same dish and you usually have to look close to find a few pieces of tripe but Pho Pad Thai is generous and you'll find plentiful of tripe and beef. I also like the fact that the soup that is packaged with the noodles is always very hot. We also got the steam rice rolls (stuffed with minced pork) that was done perfectly. I forgot how much I love this dish and they do it so well. The only dish that fell short was the vermicelli as there was very little veggies, pork was a little dry and the noodles were a little hard (probably just needed to be reheated to soften) We kind of went all out with our take out order and also got the shrimp rolls and Hainanese chicken rice. The prices are so reasonable here that even with the 5 dishes, the total including taxes with the 10% off cash discount, was only $53. If you like Vietnamese food, give this place a try. read more

Interesting restaurant. Very search engine friendly name! Lol. Have had their extra large pho and really enjoyed it. Also tried their spring rolls which were ok. Friend had the green curry chicken with fresh roti and he said it was great. Will go back and try the other dishes if I can pry myself away from the pho. read more

Dined in here on a Friday night at 8pm with three friends. The restaurant was packed but we managed to get seats immediately. My friend had been here a couple of times and recommended their pho. Their pho comes in three sizes (small $9, large $10.50 and x-large for $14). The small size is good for those who aren't super hungry. I would say the large will fill up an average guy's tummy. And the size from large to x-large is double!! I got the small size pho special since I wasn't super hungry. I really enjoyed my meal. There were very generous on the meats given and they were pretty lean. The broth was also very tasty and didn't taste so oily. I would come back to try their other dishes like the pad Thai (hence the restaurant's name). read more

Eghhh wasn't good at all or what I expected. It wasn't for me! They were extremely nice and very attentive however the meal missed the mark for me! read more

A Chinese runs restaurant that serves both Thai and Vietnamese cuisine. Scrumptious food served by friendly staffs. We ordered a BBQ pork vermicelli and a Thai curry which we paid extra dollars to combo it with naans. BBQ Pork vermicelli ($13.49) Smoky pork belly served on top of a generous portion of warm vermicelli. Finely chopped veggies (cabbage and cucumber) added great freshness and crunchy texture to balance the grease from the pork belly. The sauce on the side was apparently house made and it gave a really unique fishy and sour taste to the noodles. Thai red chicken curry ($14.59) The curry itself was creamy and had a hint of coconut flavour. Veggies and chickens were generously added to the curry, and I was pleasantly surprised when the chicken was exceptionally tender. The Naan, omg, was buttery and had a really thin crust. It came out in a perfect temperature and tasted divine when dipped into the curry sauces. Overall, we had a great experience dining in there and will certainly visit again! read more

First time here at Pho Pad Thai 越泰盞, a local spot specializes in Vietnamese and Thai cuisine! It was BUSY on this cold Saturday night. By 7pm or so, the place was full. Apparently, this place is always buzzing with customers. You should get to this plaza early to avoid no parking! I ordered a Chicken Pad Thai, mild spicy but very comforting. It had a nice portion and I really enjoyed this dish :) We also shared a Green Curry Chicken with an extra order of roti. The roti was light and buttery, and paired nicely with the curry. With such a delicious curry sauce, I think next time I would get it with rice instead ;) Fun facts of the 3 Thai curries: GREEN curry is the HOTTEST of the 3 Thai curries! The spiciness lingers. Colour derives from the green chilies, basil, and coriander. RED curry is Medium-Hot, but still packs a punch from key ingredients of chili and peppercorn. Colour derives from red chilies. YELLOW curry is Mild-Medium, sweet and creamy, largely because of coconut cream and coconut milk. Colour derives from yellow chilies and turmeric. read more

Pros: Large amount of seating Good portion sizes Vietnamese/Thai/Chinese dishes available Cons: Broth on the salty side at the end I'm usually skeptical of a restaurant that has multiple types of cuisines. It's the jack of all trades but not very good at any one thing syndrome. However, the Yelp reviews for this place were pretty good. Pho is one of the staples of my family when we eat out. Pho Pad Thai surprised me in a good way to say the least. From the outside, Pho Pad Thai looks like it would be a smaller place. Once you walk in, you'll notice it's a lot more spacious. There are a very large number of tables available. With the quick turnover that a Pho restaurant is, you'll never have to wait too long before you get a seat. The menu has a plethora of items to choose from. As I noted above, there are Vietnamese, Thai and Chinese dishes to choose from. For this visit, we ordered just items you would find at a Pho restaurant. We ordered Pho, spring rolls and chicken wings. The food comes out very quickly after you order it. The Pho portions are very good. If you're a big eater like me, the XL will fill you up here. The broth at the start is very good. It gets a little salty near the end though. I'm someone who finishes the broth and I remember being super thirsty after because of it. The spring rolls were amazing. They were super crispy on the outside so they must of been cooked fresh to order. The wings were the same. Overall, the I was very impressed with the Pho items here. All in all, I really like this place. I was skeptical, but was happily proven wrong. I will definitely be back in the future to try the Chinese dishes. read more

This place is surprisingly delicious. I say surprisingly because the sign outside is less than desirable. This restaurant offers Fresh vermicelli noodles, as well as dry/frozen noodles. We order the pho house special and it was everything that I wanted. From the savoury broth to the perfect serving size. I got the smaller one, my partner got the larger one and our bowls were empty when he finished (aside from the broth - drinking all of that is too much MSG). I also order the Vietnamese coffee, which came the authentic way with the small coffee pot that was steeping (with condensed milk already inside) and I got to pour the coffee into a tall clear cup with ice. Yum! Finally, the restaurant was tidy and clean, and the staff was so wonderful. We were the last ones in the restaurant at closing time and at no point did they rush is to leave. Thanks for a great dining experience! read more

Pho Pad Thai - Pho with rare beef and beef balls (#208) - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I ordered my usual House Special Pho at Pho Pad Thai. Good that there is a choice of fresh or dried noodle. The broth itself is quite flavoured with a great aroma of star anise and the portion is quite decent. Service is fast and friendly. Though no lunch special available but the price is reasonable with a small pho at $6.50. Pho Pad Thai might not be my usual pho joint, but it is clean and spacious so I definitely would be coming back here again. read more

I had dinner here with my parents recently. The food was flavourful, but really oily/greasy. We started off with spring rolls ($5.75) and all had the vermicelli. I had the spring roll and beef vermicelli $8.75, my mom had the spring roll, shrimp on a sugar cane and beef vermicelli $9.95 and my dad had the meat balls, shrimp on a sugar cane and beef vermicelli $9.95. Then my mom and I shared the Che Ba Mau (3 bean dessert) $4.25. The spring rolls come 2 per order, but they are fairly large. However, I think still expensive for the price. They were really oily/greasy. They were also mostly taro, vermicelli, carrots and black cloud fungus; there was very little meat. They were crispy though, and while I think the wrapper was rice paper, since it was somewhat blistery, it actually tasted like a cross between rice paper and the usual wheat-based wrapper. The vermicelli used in the vermicelli dishes are the big round vermicelli - like the diameter of spaghetti. It's not the smaller vermicelli - like the diameter of spaghetini (which I prefer). The bottom of the bowl is filled with bean sprouts. You also get some shredded lettuce and matchstick cucumbers, but not nearly as much as I would like. The beef was not grilled, but rather stir-fried with onions. It was tasty, but oh so oily/greasy. The shrimp paste on a sugar cane tasted like mostly flour filler, there did not seem to be that much shrimp. My mom felt that the meatballs were bland. Both meatballs and shrimp paste were also oily/greasy. Dessert was pretty good though. The Che Ba Mau had black-eyed peas, mung bean paste, red beans, green gelatin strips, crushed ice and coconut cream. The beans/peas were perfectly cooked - not too mushy, but not too hard. The coconut cream was rich. The dessert was the right amount of sweetness. The ice could have been crushed a little bit more, but that's a minor issue. Our server was very pleasant and friendly. It was super busy, so she didn't really check up on us, but she came when we called for her. Decor is modern. They didn't do such a great job cleaning the table before we sat down though. There was still some food on the table and the benches (we had a booth). I had to wipe it down with Kleenex from my purse. The restaurant is in a strip mall, and there's lots of parking. Overall, food was tasty but too oily/greasy for me to want to return. read more

I'm always a sucker for curry, so when I discovered Pho Pad Thai and they had curry on their menu I just had to try it. I don't like my curry TOO spicy, but I still want that kick. The waitress recommended that I order the Thai Red Curry Seafood, so I got that with rice. Verdict: it was absolutely AMAZING. It had just the perfect amount of spicy. The sauce is very creamy and has a hint of coconut milk to it. The bowl is also filled to the brim with seafood. Even though it's a bit pricey ($12.25), the amount of seafood you get definitely makes up for it. I honestly would highly recommend red curry (well, at least, the red curry here) if you love curry but don't like it too spicy. In regards to the seating, it's plain-jane simple. Nothing too fancy. But it's still comfortable and gives off some very cool and chill vibes. Great for if you're there with a couple of friends and want to chat a bit while eating. I'll definitely be back to try something new, and will update when I do! read more

Pho Pad Thai - Thai Red Curry with Seafood - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

This is a decent noodle place in the neighbourhood. If you are looking for authentic Thai or Vietnamese cuisine, you may be disappointed. I usually order the Pho and lemongrass pork chop rice. Price is decent and portion is big. Good thing is you can choose either dry pho or fresh pho. There are some combos which give you good value, but they are Cash and Dine-In only deals. Service is quick and polite. They take reservation for big group and usually give us dessert on the house at the end of the meal. read more

Pho Pad Thai - Special Pho XL - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

We dropped by here because The Pho nearby is so busy all the time and my wife was craving Thai food. We ordered 3 dishes: Laksa, spring rolls/grilled meat balls/beef vermicelli, and green beans with pork shoulder. [Good] Beef - Have to split up the vermicelli review because there were both good and bad. The beef was great, nicely grilled and very flavourful, not dry. Laksa - Wife said it was tasty. She said nothing she disliked about it. Came with 2 giant pieces of mussel which I ate that was quite good. Service - Fast and friendly. All servers spoke Cantonese so didn't have communication issues. They are friendlier than other typical Chinese places I've been to. [Meh] Spring rolls - About average or below average on taste. Green beans and pork shoulder - Looked promising in the picture but dish came out lukewarm. Beans did not have much snap and the shoulder was dry and didn't have that bounce I was expecting. [Worth it?] Ok on value as we had leftovers as well at roughly $20pp after tax and tip. With the menu so large, it's hard to tell what dishes they're good at. What we experienced had ups and downs so hopefully we will discover more ups next time should we return. read more

I'd like to update my review. This place is actually very fresh and delicious and service was on the ball when I came here for lunch the other day. very accommodating and very busy. the food was just done well. including the presentation with the rare beef in the pho being perfectly rare. broth nice and light and certainly worth the commute if you're nearby. I'm was actually very pleased with it and almost shocked I gave this a 3. it's a 4.5 to me and given I can't select that I'll round up to 5.0. good pricing too. everything under $10 still and you don't ever need to get the XL unless you're sure you'll finish a mammoth bowl of food. it's almost good to share to be honest. The pad Thai here and the spring rolls are also well done. can't go wrong coming here. read more

This place has become my go-to for pho. It is clean, bright and roomy which is not common for vietnamese restaurants. The service is good and quick, and the food is consistently good.

This is probably my favourite pho place in markham and it's conveniently located right at the intersection of woodbine and applecreek! The parking is always ample due to the failure of the surrounding stores in the same plaza. I've never had trouble finding parking here, only trouble with the annoying and douchey scrubs that frequent master Q next door. This is surprisingly a very popular place during lunch on the weekdays! I come here for my lunch break and apparently so does every single employee from every single company based in markham. People LOVE pho and who can blame them? It's delicious. The service is quick and the main boss lady gets shit down fast! However, there are some staff that operate on ZERO English and it's extremely difficult to communicate with her.. every time I order from here, I sit there praying that she isn't the one to take my order down because it wastes so much time- even when I'm only pointing to certain numbers on the menu. What the hell? Anyway, the pho is deeeeelicious! The broth is piping hot and tasty with little trace of MSG. The beef is soft and flavourful- exactly what I look for in a nice rare beef and flank pho soup. The noodles come either thick or thin- I choose thick and it is AMAZING. Texture of the noodles can make a girl fall in love. I always end up coming here whenever my coworkers and I are looking for a yummy place to go for lunch. My coworker also really enjoys the crispy chow mein here and indeed it is delicious. I've tried a bit and it was BOMB. Crispy noodles, flavourful beef and chicken.. HUGE dish! What more can you ask for? No doubt, I will definitely return here.. soon.. read more

We were frequent visitors when lived in the area, also perfect dinner after a long rock climbing workout at the Hub Climbing Gym right across the street. I like the pho , that is usually what we order. At some point we ordered the set dinner a few times and some other dishes, all were good. The restaurant is clean, waiters friendly. read more

Food- 2/5 Service- 2.5/5 Environment and Location- 3.5/5 I needed something to satisfy my craving for Pho, so I decided to visit my old hang out place a couple of years back when I literally worked right across the street. When I came here a couple of years back, service was actually pretty decent and I remember the food being a lot better than what I ordered this time. I wanted to experiment and try their Hainan Chicken Pho and I have to be honest, it was quite disappointing. The Chicken was alright, but there was only like 5 pieces of chicken and when you pay close to 13 dollars for a bowl of soup noodle and chicken, it was pretty upsetting that I did not get any value for my dollar coming here. Service was also sub par as when I went there around 11:45 AM which was close to when lunch prime time is about to be had, there was only one waitress and was clearly only there to take orders and bring out the dishes and service for asking for more tea was non-existent. Maybe I will come again to try it out, but for now, there are better places where my money can be spent. read more

I have been here multiple times for dinner with my family and it has since become our go to when we are craving some good pho. Located in the apple creek plaza where Mi Ne sushi and Master Q are, this restaurant is has the basic variety of vietnemese and Thai food. Their broth is great and I never go home thirsty or feeling "lao" (cantonese you know? filling from fatty soup LOL). They also have a good portion of the meat unlike other places where they have been cutting back because of inflation. I have also tried their curry, vermicelli and spring rolls/shrimp rolls and all were super delicious. Service is very good and all the the servers can speak cantonese and mandarin. Will be back of course. read more

I go to Pho Pad Thai often since it's close to my gym. Staff is really friendly and knows who we are, but even if they didnt, they always have a smile on their face and are polite to their customers. The food here is decent, but nothing special or outstanding. I do enjoy their curry dishes. The red curry was flavourful, creamy and a good amount of spicy. Their curry pad thai isnt spicy at all, but the flavours are ok. Their rice dishes are ok, but smaller than other Pho places nearby. Prices are decent but possibly slightly more expensive than the average Pho place in Markham. read more

Tried the Thai Green Chicken Curry and it was excellent. Service was also fast and they noticed me and my friend continued talking after we finished our dinner so they didn't rush us with the bill which was nice. Great atmosphere, wide selection of menu, and friendly staff would definitely make me return! read more

I've been coming here for many years, back before when it was Woodstone. This restaurant continues to be a master of efficiency. During lunch it is always packed, but they greet you right away and seat you immediately. Tea is brought to the table within a minute of arrival. Regardless of how busy it is, your order will be there within 10 minutes of ordering, often in 5 minutes. It makes for a guaranteed quick sit down lunch. The menu is a mix of Vietnamese and Thai. None of the dishes are exceptional but they are all good, always fresh and hot. I usually order either the Pho, for which there is a large selection of options, or the red curry chicken. I get the roti instead of rice which is a welcome treat. read more

3/5 Man, I was just DREAMING about the Bun Rieu Cua dish I had next to Great Mall in Milpitas, California and this week, my cravings were insupressable. I searched around and found Pho Pad Thai as the closest resto to my house that served this exact dish. Unfortunately, the dish failed to live up to the AMAZINGness I had experienced in California. I'm giving Pho Pad Thai 3 just because I enjoyed the dining experience. The seating area is pretty spacious, the menu is extensive, and the servers were really really nice. They brought all the necessary utensils specific to the order we placed, and were pretty attentive while we were there. The food however, wasn't the greatest (or maybe it's because the only viet places I've been to this year have received at least 4.5 stars on Yelp). House special Pho 3/5 - It tasted VERY standard. I'm starting to think there is some soup blend that average viet restaurants use because it tasted exactly the same as food court pho / xue lua. It didn't have the homey-ness that is captured by Pho Tai Bac or Little Saigon pho. They also give you braised bean sprouts as opposed to raw - I actually prefer it this way, but it definitely takes away the authenticity Beef Pad Thai 3.5/5 Also very standard. Resembles the pad thai you get in the fast food chains that serve pad thai cafeteria style. It was very sweet and ketchupy. Good for kids. Bun Rieu Cua (Tomato soup with crab paste rice noodles) 2/5 The soup was just really bland, and I could hardly taste the crab, let alone, see any ground crab meat. BBQ Pork with steamed egg/grilled shrimp Like the other dishes, the pork has the right flavour but very mild doses of it. The steamed egg is NOT a sunny side up egg you would kind of expect. Instead, it's like a savoury steamed omlette with minced veggies that tastes REALLY good. Sad I couldn't get a runny yolk, but still an interesting spinoff. Food-wise, you will finish it, but you are not going to crave seconds. read more

Along with the plethora of pho restaurants in Markham, this place opened up in the same plaza as Master Q and MiNe sushi. Their menu is similar to all the other restaurants around, with the standard pho items. What always brings be back to this location though is the broth. Other places definitely overloaded with salt and MSG, and I often leave feeling very thirsty. However, this place is quite great and I find the broth to be super flavourful and not overly salty! Decent portions for souped noodles and meat, but the real star for portions would be their rice. I ordered the chicken rice cutlet and thank goodness this is a place that actually serves even meat to rice ratios! Highly recommend pho pad thai for a steadily good experience! read more

Food was great. Server was terrible. She told us her name was Raina. She could not have been less pleasant, she seemed completely displeased that we had come to lunch I will think twice before coming back. The pho was good. But the service was bordering on unpleasant. read more

Rarely do I eat on that stretch of Woodbine, but this time an associate recommended it, so I was game. This is a decent sized place, bustling with customers and very friendly staff. I decided to forgo my usual Beef Pho, and instead had a Shrimp Pad Thai. It was hot, flavourful and plentiful with a good portion of crisp, large shrimp. I also splurged and added an order of spring rolls. These are my favourite--the meat filled deep fried version. They were crisp and crunchy on the outside, with a first rate meat filling. I really didn't need them, since I couldn't finish the Pad Thai anyway. But I'm glad I did order the spring rolls. Except now I am craving them. Every day. That makes it tough to fight the desire to drive down to Markham every day. Gotta go, the car is almost warmed up.... read more

For starters, this place is NOT $$$. $$ is about right for this place, maybe even $. Pho Pad Thai is a Chinese-run Vietnamese restaurant, so let's drop the authenticity discussion. For my visit, I decided to skip completely on the pho and went straight for the egg/rice noodle soup section, as I guessed I would enjoy my food better there. I had the beef stew with rice noodle soup, and honestly...there's a fine line between tasty and salty when it comes to your broth. This place crossed the line; I never had that many cups of tea in my life. Good thing I had it for lunch and not dinner, cause otherwise I wouldn't have been able to sleep. The beef brisket and noodles were good, and for the cost of $6.75 it honestly was a "you get what you paid for" scenario. The iced lemon tea was actually quite good, and I was particularly impressed by it, I'll say that much. Service was...well...standard Asian level. Don't expect too much from it. And will I be back? Meh. Good cheap, fill you up place, but there's better places. read more

Pho here is pretty good. They're generous with the noodles, which were firm and the broth is flavourful. I'm Vietnamese so I've eaten a few bowls of pho in my lifetime. My only gripe is they didn't separate the raw beef from the noodles, in my takeout order, so my noodles ended up bloody which is a pet peeve of mine. Also the rare beef slices were cut incorrectly, it was sliced with the grain when it should've been against the grain, this resulted in a very tough piece of meat when cooked. I also had the papaya salad with beef jerky, the papaya was fresh and crisp and the jerky is an asian jerky so it was tender and sweet. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised. read more
