Tip: Cash and debit cards only…read more On my last day of vacation, I took my time heading back to Markham from Oakville. I needed something to eat. It was my second meal of the day at nearly 5 pm, as I started my day late. I had been meaning to visit this Linh Anh restaurant that is across from CF Markville Mall. I decided to grab some grub here before heading home. There was lots of parking when I got here. I backed into a spot and walked in. A male staffer was heading into the eatery when I was. It was cool, as he held the doors open (there are two sets) and then sat me down at a table near the front counter. Double Lucky Seafood Cuisine was in this spot before Linh Anh took it over. Not so lucky or doubly lucky for that former restaurant! The interior is stunning! I'd come here just to relax under trees with pink flowers and admire the old turntable. I got a couple of laminated menus. I also got a piece of paper with my table number written on it. The idea is that you write down your order on the piece of paper. I got these items: - Squeezed lime drink with ice - Grilled chicken vermicelli with a spring roll A pitcher of cold tea and a cup arrived. I was happy that it was chilled tea. It was such a hot day that drinking hot tea wouldn't have made me a happy camper. My squeezed lime drink with ice was brought to my table. I loved it so much. The lime was slightly tart and it had lime bits in it. It was icy cold, which I appreciated. It was excellent. I'd order it again. My grilled chicken vermicelli with a spring roll came out next. Thank goodness I didn't order any appetizers because this bowl of deliciousness was massive! I had my crispy spring roll first, which was packed with shrimp, pork, and veggies. I dipped it in the sauce. So tasty! I ended up pouring all the sauce onto everything in my bowl and mixing it up. The mixing took some time because I had to eat some of the grilled chicken to be able to mix. The chicken was flavourful, juicy, and yummy. It was a generous portion. The veggies were fresh and crispy. I got a generous amount of vermicelli, which was perfectly cooked. I loved this meal so much. I'd get it again. I paid at the counter once I was done eating. This place only accepts cash and debit cards. The man at the counter asked how I'd like to pay. I said debit card. He thanked me, which was a response that I didn't anticipate. Maybe he was expecting me to say credit card, which is normally how I tend to pay for everything. I tipped and tapped. Done! I got candy before I headed to use the washroom. The washroom stall that I used was decent. No complaints. I loved dining here. I'd return again for more good eats and drinks. (309)

Linh Anh is our go to when we're craving rich authentic pho especially for their bone marrow pho!…read moreWhen we went recently, I was a little shocked that it came with 2 pieces of bone marrow but the server confirmed that since they're smaller, they gave 2. I thought that was really nice of them. My husband and I can usually get away with just sharing the pho and rolls, which are always consistently good. The unionville location is much bigger than Scarborough so I'm glad they opened this second location. It's also always nice to look around their decor which always remind me of our Asian grandparents' house back then.

Located to the left of the mall entrance facing…read moreSteeles Ave. Upon arriving, I noticed how large the restaurant was and how they had really big tables for larger parties. We got there around 11:30AM and it wasn't busy yet but had people trickling in as the time passed. Service was a solid 5/5. Staff were so nice and happy - always smiling at us whenever they brought anything to our table. The dishes here were great with some adjustments to their dishes, I think it could be a solid 5/5! Here goes: Viet coffee 4/5 - Love me an iced Viet coffee. Was a tad sweet imo, so think they could adjust their condensed milk portions for this. Overall was a great caffeine hit drink though. Banh Cuon 5/5 - Oh my goodness - must get! Chewy steamed rice rolls with a pork filling dipped into the fish sauce. Came with grilled meats which were to die for. Bun Cha Ha Noi 5/5 - Meats were very well seasoned in the broth like sauce. It's a dipping type noodle and was absolutely divine. Bun Bo Hue 4/5 - This was good but not too spicy. Lacked a bit of umami flavour and felt like it could have used a bit more depth. Pho Bo 4/5 - Standard beef pho that was comforting and delicious. Overall a pretty solid spot for Vietnamese food. Would visit this place again.

Besides enjoying their staple rice dishes with different proteins like grilled pork and noodle soup (pho), we also tried their newest dishes. Vietnamese Crepes - bean sprouts, green beans herbs + shrimp/beef wrapped in crepe Banh Khot - small egg cakes with toppings (shrimp, beef, pork, mushroom) These dishes were very refreshing and flavorful. Definitely, Vietnamese cuisine still has a lot more to offer than just pho. I recommend you give these dishes a try!

This place is good value…read more  Phnom Penh noodles with dry egg noodles came with pork liver, pork slices, crabstick, onion, 4 prawns & minced pork & were tossed in onion oil, with fried garlic at the bottom. The sauce was good but more would be better. Some liver slices were a bit tough. The toppings were generous. The soup seemed to be pho soup. It was quite rich with a big piece of bone-in pork. Pho (northern style) with ginger (small) was relatively light & somewhat herbal/gingery. It was pretty tasty but the beef clumped oddly. The teapot is pretty & their pandan tea is very fragrant.

To start with the positives there is a good amount of seating space inside and the service was quick. The food also came out hot. There are lots of options and also daily deals so there's something for everyone. I can't remember exactly what I got, but it was a beef curry dish and we got kimchi fries to share with the table. My food was good, but it definitely could've been better. It lacked salt and flavor. The texture of the beef was fine but the noodles were overcooked. The kimchi fries were just decent. I don't see myself returning here as I think there are many other food options in the Vaughan Mills Plaza that could satisfy a hungry craving, but I'm glad I gave flaming kitchen a shot!

The rice and fish were perfect but the tom yum sauce was not .... (How the kids say it...) tom yumming. Service was Swift, and the establishment was nicely decorated, fun to look at, but I felt that the pricing of the plates just paid for the decor. I'm hoping I get humbled thế next time I go and that maybe I chose a dish thát wasn't thế best, but my wife didn't like her cheesy tomato dish at all.

This is a very hip spot with a casual vibe. Everything is served on sizzling plates, which is great…read morebecause the food stays hot throughout the meal. The menu mainly focuses on rice and noodle dishes, but they also have bar snacks and juices, which is a nice touch. I ordered the popcorn chicken, which is a must every time I come--still solid and flavorful. I also got the curry laksa shrimp. It wasn't anything special, but it satisfied my craving for stir-fry ramen. We shared the flaming chicken as well. It doesn't come with much on its own, so we added extra toppings, but it didn't hit the same as it used to. Overall, it's a fun place with good energy and dependable options, especially if you're in the mood for hot, sizzling dishes.

Came for their 10 year anniversary promotion. 100 free main dishes rice or udon. Big line up out…read morethe door prior to opening. Numbers were given so they know the cut off. The line was moving decently. Wait was about an hour from the doors open. Not including waiting. Servers turned tables as quickly as possible. QR code used to order is a bit of a hassle setting up verification code etc. Spicy Udon creamy sauce and the meat which cooks on the plate. Good flavor, sauce didn't quite stick to the noodles. I would prefer more chew to the udon. Perhaps the sizzling plates cooked it a bit more than nessary. It wasn't mush but definitely perfered if there was a chew. The star of the show was the sizzling plates when it comes out it's like a surprise. There is paper around the dish to prevent the sizzling splatter. Good solid meal simple and quick. Washroom on same level. Different tables , some booths some cushion benches. Approx 20 table all different sizes. They have daily deals as well as joining their free membership for perks.

Location: Yonge Street South of mullock in the Metro plaza…read more Parking: Freeeeeeee The place: There's been a lot of restaurants in this location. There's a gorgeous mural and I'm not sure if they put it up or if it's something left over from the last place but I like it. There's tables. It's dark but in a cozy way. It's a comfortable place to be in. Not sure if I'm explaining it right but it just feels nice there. Staff: Everyone was so nice and helpful Food: They sell more than pho! Eclectic menu but with all good stuff. Next time I go I think I'm going to try the congee It's a nice place to come with a lot of people because there's something that everyone can find on the menu. Became someone who is vegan she got a vegan dish. The vegetarian person was very accommodated as well. It's a good price point. Will definitely be back it's a good place to come

The food was amazing as expected and so was the service. The service was fast and very helpful. But honestly I been going there for the last few days and one thing, a person has truly brought colour to this place. A girl so beautiful you can mistake her for a angel she looks so heavenly and sweet, I think she the real reason I go back everyday, she always there sitting in the corner in her own little world it's so adorable especially those small little smiles of hers . I seen her make drinks so she definitely a worker there, she makes that place look so lively it's truly blows me away that a girl like that exists. A girl so rich in her outfits and clearly a woman with wonderful taste in food. If I come back and she there I could eat for hours, she is so memorizing to the eye, idk how I can describe it. I recall her saying her name was Alice. Such a beautiful angel in a place so close to heaven this place is a dream,10/10 recommendation

La Sen has a beautiful interior and decent amount of seating for its smallish space. Service was good - things came quickly and they seem to have quite a few unique items on the menu. Beef salad - really refreshing and flavorful salad. Had a bit of spicy kick on the beef which was really nice with the other fresh vegetables. Wine braised pho hotpot - I really enjoyed this hotpot - even more so than their typical pho. You can get unlimited soup refills too which is great. Broth is light yet flavorful. Pho - decided to try their "regular " pho which has a bit more herbal notes than their hotpot. It's not bad but I could see some of the herbal/spice undertones being off putting to some. Stret style platter - lots of good, great variety, very fresh. Loved this dish - getting to make your own customized roll is worth it. Durian crema coffee - an interesting that I've never seen. It's line a typical coffe but a large and thick layer of durian foam layer on top of the coffee. Price: A bit higher than other pho places but well worth trying
