Best Chicken Pho in the World!! I get it all the time. Freshest chicken and lots of it! Broth tastes home made. If you haven't been you MUST!!! 5 Star for sure!!! 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

Went here for lunch with colleagues a few times. We were quickly given a table and a choice from 2 tables. All the dishes that came out of the kitchen look great. The pho is offered with fresh noodle or dry noodle. I always get the dry noodle, which is the type you get at other pho places. 1 friend ordered the chow mein, but wanted seafood only (halal). The waitress was very understanding and accommodating. There is hoisin and sriracha sauces on each table. The serving of Thai basil and bean sprouts for the pho was a bit too small. It would be better if a fresh chili pepper was also provided for the pho. The broth is quite good. Prices are average, around $10 in 2018 for the medium size (aka large) pho. I wish they would offer a seafood pho option. The menu is extensive, making it a very good option for groups to come. We will definitely go back. read more

Order take out from this location, portion was good for the pho. But for the vermicelli wished there was a little more chicken, the pieces were a bit small. Overall very satisfied. Will return again if I am in the area. read more

Spacious Vietnamese/Thai restaurant with a solid menu of food and drinks to choose from! Every time I come here I order the laksa noodles with seafood - it's amazing and contains mussels, shrimp, fish balls, fried tofu, and an egg. So delicious, I'm craving it just thinking about it! The pho is great as well and is made with a flavourful broth. They definitely don't skimp out on ingredients here. Would definitely recommend. read more

Much better this time around. Noodles did not stick this time and the broth was more flavourful then our previous visit. They also gave complimentary a mango/coconut and jello dessert for us. +1 overall! read more

Pho Pad Thai - One of the complimentary desserts. Darn kids ate the mango/coconut one before I could take a picture:( I've grounded them for a month!!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I was very impressed when I discovered this place because I am a sucker for Thai food. I went for afternoon lunch and I ordered the Spring Roll with Grilled Meat Balls & Beef Vermicelli. The food quality was very good considering it was only $10.95 and the lunch special included a free drink which I ordered the hot Hong Kong style milk tea. The proportions were perfect and the flavour was very authentic. The food arrived fast and despite the busy lunch hour, the service was pretty good and my waitress was pleasant and friendly. read more

See all

I don't like giving out five star ratings, but when you only expect mediocre, being surprised with an amazing dish merits a good rating. I stopped in for a late lunch, not a busy dining room, maybe 2 other tables. The waitress was quick to greet an seat me. She was on the ball with the order and was prepared to allow me to take my time. I ended up ordering the chicken pad Thai. It came to the table super quick, was very hot, flavourful, filling, and priced very reasonable at about $8.50. The salt and oil content is quite reasonable (pad Thai can get pretty oily when it's not cooked right) these guys did a fantastic job - I can tell by tasting the dish that the chef applied significant care when making it. I will definitely be stopping by again the next time I am in the area! read more

Pho Pad Thai - Chicken Pad Thai - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

3.5, but I'll round up. We came at 9 pm last night for dinner. My mom and I shared a tomato, bean curd, spicy crab paste with pork vermicelli soup ($8.25), and a large avocado milk shake ($5.25). We were pleasantly full after, but my mom wasn't hungry when we went, so that might explain a part of that. The spicy crab paste wasn't spicy, but there was a slight seafood undertone in my very tomato-ey broth. There were also tomato chunks. My noodles had 3 slices of some kind of Vietnamese ham, 3 shrimps, 3 pieces of bean curd, and 3 pork meatballs just slightly larger than your typical Italian wedding soup meatballs. I do wish this had been a tad stronger on the spicy crab paste, and a little less on the tomatoes. It was still good though. And this is where reviewing gets tricky. I'd give my noodles a 3, but I'd give that avocado milkshake a 5. My mom asked that we get an extra cup so we could share the milkshake. They split it for us. These are the standard Vietnamese long drink glasses, and they filled both of them up basically 80% of the way. I have no idea how they would have done it in one glass, because we got a lot of avocado milkshake. The shake itself was very creamy, without chunks, and was generous on the avocado. I dislike my avocado milkshakes tasting like vanilla ice cream. This one did not taste at all of vanilla (they probably didn't put ice cream in it), and it wasn't too sweet. Service was prompt and for a Chinese-run place, quite pleasant. If I'm in the area, I wouldn't mind coming back. read more

Been here more times than my check ins. Been coming to this place even before Pho Pad Thai opened. This place before was known as Woodstone which also cooked all similar items that Pho Pad Thai have on their menu currently. This is one my go to place for their Pork Chop w/ rice. I don't know what it is but I just love it! Been ordering that ever since Woodstone was still around and I'm glad they hadn't gotten rid of that either. I always remember the Pork Chop w/ rice was number S22 on the menu. This review will talk alot about the Pork chop w/ rice since it is one of my most eaten items at this place and until now. The pork chop has always been consistent with good sear, flavor and tenderness. Probably had a few bad pork chops here and there but mostly my experience with that dish has been positive for so many years. The 2nd item that I enjoy the most here is a Pho Pad Thai item which is their Red/Green curry w/ rice. Really enjoy their curry as it contains some coconut- flavor with a little cream which gives it a bit of a thickness and has a nice spice which gives some heated mixture when eating with the rice. The spicey-ness is the major factor because its not too hot to a point that its unbearable but its heats up your mouth quite a bit. The service here is really fast and efficient which is really good. Food comes within a few minutes. The lunch crowd is quite busy where all the business around the area come in for lunch. Food is consistent and tastes good with quick and speedy service and decent pricing. What more can you ask for? read more

What a great little gem. The food is fresh and the service is fast. We had Pad Thai and a curry dish and spring rolls to start. The portion sizes are generous and the flavours are great. It's a bit westernized, so no mystery meat I have only been here for lunch but plan on going back for dinner. read more

My friend really likes this place, and goes here quite often. Met up for dinner with her and she picked. Im not usually a fan of Thai food, but I gotta say I was quite impressed. The space is quite large, and there is definitely lots of seating. Does seem to be a bit cramped though, especially if it were busier. We ordered the Spring Rolls, she got a Large Pho, and I got a BBQ Lemongrass Pork Chop and Beef with Rice. The Spring Rolls were really good, and definitely left me wanting more! The rice was quite good, as the pork chop and beef were done quite nicely. I always find that the rice with these meals are always overly plain in comparison to the flavour of the meat. Would be nice to add a little spice to it. Service was quite good, quick on their feet, and very fluent in English (which is always a great plus)! Not necessarily my first choice in cuisine, but wouldn't mind coming back here! read more

This place is in the old Woodstone location. As someone who has gone to Woodstone a fair bit, it's easy to compare the two. While in this "grand opening" period, you get 10% off the bill. The decor is newer with no more large circle tables. They have two large rectangle tables at the back for bigger groups. I think the layout makes things a little more open and makes more sense. It's also good to see the condiments all clean but we'll see how it turns out after a couple months. The menu is huge, with food ranging from Vietnamese to Thai to some Hong Kong style food. The prices seem a bit higher than at the old Woodstone too. I ate the Satay Beef Rice Noodles for $7.75. So a tip, apparently you can get thick or thin noodles, from what I can tell the thin noodles are fresher. I thought this would be satay beef on some soup noodle. But instead, it was a satay broth with some raw beef. Let me tell you, this beef was super red, gotta soak it in the soup to cook for a few minutes. I would have liked a bit more noodle in the bowl but there was a fair amount of beef, more than some other places. I'd call this Vietnamese Raw Beef Pho in Satay Broth. The flavor of the satay was quite spicy, lots of peanuts. The menu said this place is special because they have Harmony and use less lard and oil. I don't know how that translate to my food though. My friends ordered things from Curry Pad Thai, "Special" Pho, Grilled Beef/Pork with rice, they all looked decent but I think the pad thai smelt a bit burnt. I think they'll need to sort out some kinks. One thing I wish they had, lunch combos with a drink. Too bad. read more

Great food, great service and great price! Two weeks ago we visited this magnificent place which friends told us about. We enjoyed a delightful experience there with exceptional dishes and nice stuff. Highly recommended and We will surely come back very soon. read more

A great place for pho in Markham. We arrived on a Sunday night at 8:30PM. Place was pretty empty, maybe because of bad weather and it being late. Don't expect amazing service. The food did come fast though. We ordered two things, house special pho $7.50 and a thin vermicelli combo $13 (Spring Roll, Minced Shrimp on Sugar Cane & (Chicken/Pork or Beef) /w Vermicelli). The pho was good, not amazing but good. Can not compare to some of the places in scarborough though! It was more on the pricey side so if I had a choice I wouldn't come here for pho. The vermicelli combo I would come back for! It came with a stack of rice paper and hot water so you could make your own rolls. Kind of like a DIY meal. The plate was really big, I wouldn't be able to finish it myself. There were a ton of toppings. It felt pretty worth it for the amount of toppings and variety it came with. You could probably make almost 10 rolls with the amount of food that was on that plate. I wouldn't come here specifically, only if im in the area and im really craving pho or want their combo! read more

I think of the pho places I've tried this is actually my preferred soup base. On an objective level they may not be the best soup base, but subjectively I find the flavours here to match my taste the best. Dinner specials are also fantastic! The boyfriend and I got the special with chicken pad thai, beef flank pho, shrimp spring rolls and 2 red bean ice drinks all for well under $25 if I recall correctly. Food quality was consistently good among all the dishes, even though I personally didn't like the shrimp spring roll because I didn't like the herb in it but the bf thought it was good. Keep in mind that dinner specials (and presumably lunch specials as well) are cash only! The waitress was nice enough to let me use debit instead though. We also came back for a pho craving and I ordered and finished a large beef flank pho. They were not at all stingy with the flank! Extremely generous portions of nice fatty flank came with my pho and I loved every bit of it. Also having tried both the thick and thin noodles, I personally think that the thick ones are better! Also servers here are fairly good at English which also put me at ease since my chinese is fairly "meh". All in all, this will probably be my go to pho place for any cravings in the future. OH and also they're pad thai. That was really good too. I guess Pho Pad Thai is a very appropriate name for this restaurant. read more

This is the best Pho. I love this soup and they have nice and full of meat and noodles. read more

Pho Pad Thai - A really good Pho, with lots of meat inside - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

1.5 star ** As a person who is a big fan of pho and viet food, eating my friends authentic viet pho and have been to quite a few pho places. I'm sorry to say this has not reached my mediocre standards. Yes the soup base was ok and there was options given in terms of thick or thin noodle. I like being given options. There was A LOT OF BEEF slices in the pho which i would give points for value. Also ordered the shrimp roll.. mehh... its a no no... didn't taste anything close to what my friend makes. The vermicelli had been overly soaked or cooked.. it was tooo thick. Not enough shrimps and i was charged 4.75$....nahh... Just when i thought this place was ok and I may come back.... I DISCOVERED A PIECE OF HAIR -LIKE item in my beef.... Arghhhh..... disgusting....that totally upset me.... I don't even want to think which body part it came from.... jus almost made me throw up....right in the bowl.... i mean i know restaurants in general aren't the cleanest but please don't make me sick like this. Not coming back... I'm sorry but that jus made me dislike pho pad thai.... read more

My co-workers invited me for lunch and they decided to go here. Not being a huge fan of Thai​ food made me a bit nervous but I was excited to try something new. I ended up getting the seafood soup with transparent (glass) noodles. Ever since then I have been going back and having this soup. Its a cheap eat and you feel full. My soup craving is definitely​ filled after eating here. I also tried their spring rolls and it was okay, not really my favorite​ but my friends loved it. I would 100% recommend​ this place! read more

First time here to try out their pho. They were very accommodating as I did not want msg in my soup and they made a new broth msg free! My husband said the pho was delicious and the beef very tender. Also their spring rolls are good too. Ask for Ken Ho or Lisa. Very helpful and lovely smiles. Excellent! Will return for sure! read more

YUM! Tucked into a plaza with little traffic , Pho Pad Thai sure attracts a lot of pho lovers in the area. Not only they are clean, they also provide efficient service which is rare in Asian restaurants. You'll find all your typical Thai and Vietnamese favorite dishes. All the yummy apps, to pho, stir fries, curry, and noodles. When you're at pho pad thai, of course you'll have to try either the Pho or Pad Thai. I went with my usual in every other pho restaurants and got the sate pho ... with rare beef on the side. Not only I was pleasantly surpised they gave me a decent amount of protein, their sate soup is not your average pho beef broth base with chilli oil but a savoury soup that taste like it's been simmered for a long time - I'm blown away! read more

Was craving for Pad Thai and fresh spring rolls and saw it has high ratings. I am glad I made a lunch reservation! The food came out fresh and servers are friendly and polite. The servings are generous. Now, I know where to get Viet and Thai food cravings when I'm in the office. Will try take out next time. read more

Hmm this place is quite the bomb! The pho I find is quite good. Almost as good as my other favorite pho place! I've been getting the usual pho with rare beef. Nothing too special since been busy, but hmmm it's so good! Nice thick noodles and good beef! I will probably try the other rice dishes so give me time and I will tell! The place isn't too big, but it's a good size to hold a decent amount of people! The staff is friendly and quite fast or at least been fast for me! The parking lot can be quite packed so be warned! read more

* Pho is very satisfying * Place looks clean * Average priced * Decent service and can get busy at times read more

Came at lunch time, the place was not busy. Long story short, I ordered Green Curry Shrimp for takeout, and I got a Chicken curry instead. I come home to find out chicken pieces in my food. For me who eats halal food exclusively, it's unacceptable. I phoned the manager the next day and he offered me an apology and a free SPRING ROLL. He had no issues telling me that the chef probably just took the chicken pieces instead of making my food again. Ridiculous and really disappointing , I will not be back. read more

We did not order the usual dishes here, instead we brought a number of fishes over for them to cook. The Vietnamese Sour Tamarind Soup (Canh Chua) with fresh fish - amazingly the PH is just right. It is not sour and does not take over the taste of the fish. They are well blended together and enticed the freshness of the fish. Everyone enjoys this soup. Stir Fried fish with celery and beans - The fish is fried to leave the meat tender and juicy, yet it is not oily when it is in your mouth. Grilled fish - one small mouth and one big mouth - both are very tasty and fresh. I noticed that when the bodies are sliced slightly open on both sides of the lateral line. The big mouth tastes better Rack of lamb - I don't know what herbs are used to marinate but it is medium rare and cooked really well Fried vegetables - normal dishes As its name is Pho, I haven't get a chance to try its Pho. Probably will come back again. read more

Been here a few times before getting on Yelp. This place hasn't changed and neither has the people (some). However, prices has steadily been climbing. A S Pho is $6.xx, L is $7.xx and XL is $ 8.xx. I'd say that's pretty darn steep for pho because it isn't mind blowing delicious. Had the pad thai with chicken and a large rare beef/flank brisket pho. They were ok, not the best. I've had better pad thai at Thai Basil and Restoran Malaysia and the pho.. Tasted better at many places. Ohh well, I was too hungry to give a crap lol read more

Food not bad but service is horrible. I wanted to use credit card to pay for the bill. At the first place, the waitress seems like doesn't want me to use credit card. Second, the card machine doesn't work, tried couple times and it shows connection error on the machine. But the waitress's attitude really rude. She said something seems like I don't have any limit in my card to pay for only $26. She not even asked me to try another card, just asked me to pay by cash. I definitely will not go back anymore!! PS: I can use my credit card without any problem in Walmart right after!!!!!! read more

We ordered a tomato crab meat viet noodles . My husband and daughter loved the flavour. I ordered a pork- egg grill chicken rice . The chicken tasted great and the meat was soft. They are nice, patient and courteous. Price is good compare to other viet restaurant in Markham . I am very pleased with the service! I will go there again and recommend this restaurant to others. read more

The pad thai is delicious and consistent time after time. The portions are generous. Staff are friendly and food is prepared quickly. Parking however is alway an issue in this plaza. read more

Restaurant is clean. Food is decent. It's not as salty as some other pho places. There are a lot of choices on the menu. We didn't like the curry and the roti that much. Curry was a little bland and roti wasn't as flaky as we like. Service was slow, we were there after lunch rush so it wasn't even busy. read more

First time here, really good Pho! Curry is amazing too! Service is pretty good and overall environment is great! I'm here with my pregnant wife and even with her drastic hormonal fluctuations and extreme negativity, she enjoyed every bit of it! Will definitely come back! read more

The other reviews about the broth being super tasty here are no lie. The broth here is a lot better than other noodle places I have tried. My brother had very little msg tasting in it as well. I did'nt leave needing three cups of water. I ordered a brisket, tendon and tripe small pho which came up to 8.5 after tax. Decent price. The service was super quick and like all other Asian establishments you got to hail them to get their attention but they are very responsive. They were super friendly with me to. I also didn't feel awkward sitting there eating alone LOL. Probably because it was lunch time and it was getting busy in there. That place packs up really quickly so I would try to get there right for 12 if you are coming from work for lunch. But the service for the food was quick too like within 5 minutes and it was steaming. Overall I would definitely come back to here no questions asked. read more

It's not gourmet but it's good for the price that you pay. Very generous servings and definitely satisfies your hunger.

Great authentic food, was staying at the Hilton and it was very easy to get to and will return during a future visit; order anything with shrimp, they are very fresh! read more

I have been to many places for Pho, and I have to say this by far is the best. I usually go for dinner and its quite busy but the place is very comfortable and spacious. The soup base is always very authentic and not oily or greasy. Their fresh noodles is what I highly recommend. Whenever I order pork or chicken skewers, both are full of flavour and very tender. The service is comforting and friendly, very accommodating. Overall the food is very high quality and very affordable! read more

Great food! Enjoy the pho all the time. Typically order 201 special. This is a usual place for me to have lunch.

My absolute favorite place to go for a bowl of Pho - pang, lang, djang as the Cantonese say! Try their rare beef noodle (or special beef) for Pho lovers, or if you're a fan of something meatier, their satays are quite good. read more

Met up with my girlfriend for some birthday pho. The place was not too busy but not empty either. They promptly sat us down with some tea. The waitress knew my girlfriend so well and what she was going to order. We both got the 202 but with thin noodles and the beef cooked well done. It was so delicious! Not a crazy burst of flavor but with the hot sauce it gave it a nice kick. The beef was cooked perfectly with no raw pieces. i never usually finish my pho but this one i did. The noodles weren't too heavy either. i would definitely come back and try the other options. Not pricy at all either. Definitely a good place for the winter months read more

I came for lunch with a big group of co-workers. I ordered a pho which tasted okay and had sufficient meat. The interior decor was average. The service was quite good. Our waitress smiled all the time. She split bills for us without a fuss. She was also fast with the credit card machine. So this is an okay pho place with an efficient waitress at lunchtime. read more
