Before coming, I read a lot of Yelp reviews, so my expectations weren't high. The actual experience was a mix of pleasant surprises and disappointments. First, the pros: their burgers are definitely a highlight. The patties are very substantial, with a genuine meaty flavor, not the mass-produced kind. The toppings are also well-chosen, not just piled on haphazardly. The plating is also a plus; it looks quite appetizing when it arrives at the table. The service is generally friendly, not overly enthusiastic but not unpleasant either. However, the cons are also quite obvious. The biggest problem is the inconsistent quality--some dishes are excellent, while others are rather ordinary, even making you feel like "something else tastes better." Plus, the prices aren't cheap, so if you happen to order an average dish, the value for money doesn't quite meet your expectations. Also, the restaurant lacks a truly memorable signature dish, making it less memorable after your meal. read more

Small place. No gimmick. Very casual. Don't expect any photo ops as there is no modern aesthetic here. Just good pho and a variety of Vietnamese dishes that are so flavourful. We had the cold chicken and beef salad - both so refreshing and tasty! Pho (enough said). Perfect broth, came with all the fix ins and such tender pieces of meat. Also tried some rice and noodle dishes and everything was delish! read more

Located at the north east corner of Woodbine and Highway 7. There is plenty of parking and accessible parking out front. The dining room is well laid out with plenty wide aisle for wheelchairs. There is a nice variety of items to select from. The service is prompt and friendly. The food is fresh and flavourful. The pho is very flavourful and the beef/ broth warms you up on those cooler days The BBH is rich and a comfort food for a hearty satisfying meal The fresh rolls are plenty big and filled with flavours with a perfect dipping sauce. The coconut coffee is a hidden gem and don't stir up. Let the flavours mix naturally for a nice surprise Definitely coming back when my cravings beg for a hearty pho read more

This has always been my favourite Vietnamese spot, but this visit was disappointing. The menu says shredded ginger, yet as my photo shows, the broth was full of diced chunks of ginger. Shredded should be thin slivers that blend in -- diced pieces were overpowering and unpleasant to bite into. I asked and was told they use a food processor, but that doesn't make it shredded. The broth itself was fine, but the inaccurate menu description really took away from the experience. Hoping they correct this, because I usually love coming here. read more

A busy pho restaurant in the plaza across from First Markham Place. This place was packed around 12:30pm with a short line forming. Service wise, they were okay. We were greeted and sat quickly and they were not rude but there wasn't much interactions other than dropping off our food. They didn't even mention that we had to scan the QR code to order which we didn't know as it was our first time here. I do like ordering from the app though as you can have a couple of customizations such as the type of noodles, broth type, toppings for the vermicelli (choose 3 out of 8 options), etc. We ordered a standard pho and a vermicelli and they both came out quickly. I thought the pho broth was pretty good and rich, but the beef was a little tough. This bowl was also a little small considering the price. For the vermicelli, both meats were pretty juicy and flavourful. However the spring rolls were very lacking in my opinion. They were crispy but also very thin and kind of bland. This kind of ruin the dish for me as the spring roll is usually my favourite part. The price is kind of steep but you do get quite a bit of meat. Overall, I would say this is a decent place for pho but definitely on the pricey side. read more

My absolute go-to place for Vietnamese Vermicelli (Bún) bowl! To be honest, my review is only based on this dish because I only order this item on all my visits. There's nothing too special about how they prepare this dish except that you can choose the ground beef wrapped in betel leaves which is done really well here and there's not a lot of Vietnamese restaurants that have this meat as a topping. I also like that you can customize this dish by selecting 3 toppings and they have lots of choices like sugar cane shrimp cake and bean curd shrimp cake which is also my favourite. I usually pick the ground beef in betel leave, deep fried bean curd shrimp cake and grilled pork. So yummy! If you like Vietnamese Bún, then you definitely should give this place a try!Note also 5% off if you pay in cash! read more

Good pho restaurant, we think their pho is better than their vermicelli bowl. The broth of the pho is super flavourful and the spring rolls are really good. read more

Aside from its convenient location, nothing spectacular here. Food is somewhat below average compared to other pho places in Markham and Richmond Hill. Both the taste and the presentation are subpar here. It is food court quality food charges for a restaurant price. To me, it is just not worth it if you have tried other pho places in the York Region area. Service here could have been better definitely. Waiters have attitude. Not sure because it's low pay or understaffed. After trying other pho places along Hwy-7 15~20min away from here either to the west or east direction, you will see the difference. Not worth spending too much time to write a lot. I just don't recommend this place. read more

This was my first time coming to this new location. The Pho was my regular go to place for Vietnamese at the original location. On entry, we were quickly seated as it was just after lunch time. The menu choices are reduced vs the old restaurant. We ordered the Bun/vermicelli and the chicken pad Thai. The bun is only one option now - 3 choices for $18.95. I went with spring roll, beef and chicken. The serving size was just OK, not huge. The chicken had nice lemongrass flavour and tender. The beef, tough and chewy. The spring roll was alright. While the flavour wasn't bad, I would expect better for $18.95. The chicken pad Thai had good seasoning and taste. However, the noodles were gummy. Service was basic. Overall I will go to other Vietnamese restaurants before I return here. read more

Some of the best Pho I've ever had! Amazing broth and very quick service. Ambiance was good but nothing incredible, which makes sense since this isn't meant to be super luxurious anyways. Would come again! read more

Quality has gone down ever since they closed their original location. Small "everything" pho wasn't bad, but the soup was lacking some flavour. The tomato brisket noodles was huge and it was $17.95. It was tasty and I did get a lot of beef shank. However, I couldn't finish the noodles because it was huge and when I asked for a container, I was told it would cost $0.50 + tax. My only reaction was "do i have a choice?". It felt like they would rather let the food go to waste! In fact, I did witness a table leaving behind a whole dish of beansprouts and half a bowl of noodles. I think it was my first time paying so much for a plastic container! read more

Located in the Shawarma Stop plaza across from FMP on the Burger King side. There's not that much parking but usually the lot isn't too packed. My friends and I stopped by on a saturday evening after a session of badminton. We JUST managed to dodge the dinner rush as we arrived at around 6:30 and got a table for 6 with no reservation. The minute we all got seated there was a line packed out the door and the yelp waitlist updated in real time to reflect a 20-40 min wait *phew*. The original pho was pretty good according to my friends. I did try some of their broth. It was nice! My personal fave place for pho is still Pho Anh Vu on Hwy 7. That place is untouchable right now imo because of their great taste and HUGE portion sizes. I ordered the pho tai sa te (satay broth) while the friend next to me ordered pho tai ca ri (curry broth). They both tasted good but the ca ri broth tasted great! It was more complex and layered than the satay broth. Next time I'm back, my go-to will definitely be the curry broth. None of us tried the vermicelli bowls so I can't comment on that. At the end of the meal, the server notified us that they couldn't split the bill but they gave us a 5% cash discount which was appreciated (usually if you pay in cash you get 10% off but it's fine). Service itself was pretty good. The servers were all friendly and prompt. I do wish they kept the tiny sauce dishes at the tables for easy access though (you have to ask the server for a specified number). One thing that's special about this place is they also let you build your own bowl of noodles (same concept as Deer Garden) which is cool for a viet place. This is a solid spot for Viet eats! I think they are definitely on the pricier side for the portions they give (the L and XL sizes should be bigger in my honest opinion) so Pho Anh Vu will still be my go-to viet spot in the Richmond Hill/Markham area. read more

Best pho restaurant I've ever been to so far! BYOB Pho - I chose the Regular size which was more than good enough for me. I also chose to include rare beef, beef brisket, and beef tendon in my pho. I appreciate that they also give the option to add or not include cilantro because cilantro is a no-go for me. The broth was very flavourful and the beef tendon was succulent. Yum Chicken Wings - the chicken wings were very flavourful as well and nicely crispy. Service was very efficient and friendly, even when it was pretty busy when I went. They were able to give me Thai Basil upon request. Thank you. I'll definitely go back and order the same items again. read more

We haven't been back for many months. We love the pho and appetizers here. Food is tasty, of good value, and of generous portions. Pho has choice of fresh noodles which is always a plus. We usually order the banh dap, which is a platter of meat and thin vermicelli on crispy shrimp chips. Today we tried their house special appetizer, highly recommend it. It comes with Spring rolls, sugarcane shrimp cake, Vietnamese pork sausages, grilled beef wrapped in betel leaves, and bean curd shrimp cake. Service is friendly with a smile. It does get busy here so come early on a weekend or come on a week night :) read more

The Pho Restaurant - House special appetizer - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

BUN MANG GA - the star of the dish was the ginger fish sauce which paired perfectly with the small slivers of chicken in the dish. The dish came with lots of bamboo shoots which surprisingly did not have a funky taste BYO PHO - for toppings, we chose beef balls/tripe/rare beef/tendon. They are very generous with their pieces of tendon which was very large and melt-in-your-mouth. For noodles, we tried the fresh noodle. They were thick and yummy. However, the fresh noodles did add a considerable film of oil of the top of the soup. VIET COFFEE WITH CONDENSED MILK - it was more bitter than other viet coffees I've tried. The staff were very kind and agreed to add more condensed milk though! Service was prompt and fast. My one piece of feedback is that the restaurant was very humid and warm even though we went on a cool fall day. It made eating big bowls of soup a little uncomfortable. read more

Came here over the weekend with the family. Staff was friendly and attentive. Thing I love about pho restaurants, things always come out fast . Usually when trying a new pho place I try their bum no hue (sorry if spelled wrong) but was with the family who don't really eat spicy. So we went with the usual 1 XL pho, 1 vermicelli, one fried spring roll and tried a fish nuggets. Would have got an avocado smoothie but it was like $8.50 so decided to pass. Pho was good, lots of meat. Broth could have been a bit richer , as I usually prefer a deeper flavour. Lot of tripe and tendon which I love. Tendon was nice and soft. Vermicelli I didn't get to try much cause my daughter was loving the grilled meat on it . They also are the shrimp on the sugar cane stick without sharing. But the noodles and a bit of meat I got was quite good. I can see why she likes the meat. The fish nuggets were dried, nice light batter and came with a dipping sauce. They were good and the portion was quite large for this. The fried spring roll was unfortunately not good. Was tough and chewy. It might have been sitting for a while because probably wouldn't order that again. Place is clean and was getting busy when we were leaving so I guess we beat the rush. If I am in the area again, might give it another go. read more

My second favourite Pho spot in the GTA. Ambiance: 3/5 - Nothing special, but nothing wrong with it either. The tables seem a little close together, but again, nothing wrong with it and similar to other Pho restaurants. Service: 3.5/5 - Mostly good service, but the place is very busy, so can't blame them for not giving everyone special attention. Only had one server who wasn't the friendliest, but again, don't blame them because it's a hectic environment. Food: 4/5 The Pho - I normally get the fresh noodles (but they run out a lot at the end of the day) and that is a 4.5/5. The fresh noodles are what make it stand out compared to other Pho spots. With the normal rice noodles. I'd say it's a 4/5. Fresh Rolls with Beef - 4.5/5. I love the flavour of these and it's so fresh and not overpowering. Overall, 4/5 - great spot! read more

We came in Saturday afternoon 3:40 and easily got a parking spot. It's not busy inside as well so got seated immediately The restaurant is quite clean and serving authentic Vietnamese cuisine, they don't have a paper menu, need to scan the code and order from there. We ordered L large size phos, and shrimp mango salad. 1. Pho - broth is full of flavour, like the noodles too, 5/5 2. Shrimp mango salad- a bit too sweet, portion is small consider the price $15.99- 3/5 Overall we enjoy our pho here, price is high compared to other places. read more

What is happening? The last few times I have been the portions have decreased exponentially. The bowl for the bunbohue is smaller and in the bbh and normal pho there are little to no noodles. My regular and my partner's large had the same amount of noodles. They just had more soup and perhaps a few pieces more of meat... If you used chopsticks to grab some noodles, all the noodles will be gone with two grabs... Sadly the prices have gone up and the portions are a bit too ridiculous lately. Also, not surprisingly, there does not seem to be a long line anymore for dining in. When I'm craving pho I will probably be looking at other restaurants even though their food here is still good. read more

Came here twice now, the food is good. The broth is sweet and flavourful. You order off the QR code and even though when we went it was cool not a hot day, I started to get very hot halfway through the meal. The broth was piping hot and I noticed a fan running so I guess they don't have AC? You build your own bowl starting at $16, extra for large and XL bowl. It comes with a lot of meat and I love the extra side bowl of noodles ($3) comes with broth and perfect for my kids. We got both fresh roll and spring rolls both times we came and the spring rolls is 3 rolls cut into 2 which is good and filled with meat. Some pho places give you only 2 spring rolls. I really like the the grilled pork fresh rolls, you can tell they just make it and it was very good. Overall, a good pho restaurant but when we got home later, the entire family is chugging water which usually means they use a lot of MSG and salt which made it kind of disappointing. We definitely drank a lot of water that night. read more

Contrary to popular opinion my dining party and I actually didn't enjoy our experience here as much as other devout fans. I would say this place is a solid 3.5 stars, and this would only be by merit of their food and it's taste. We tried to go here a few times but each time was met with a long line. We finally came on a Monday at 2pm and it was decently empty that a stroller could be brought in, but any other time I would forget about it if you have a young family. Upon entering we were told to sit anywhere and was promptly given tea and ...... Nothing else? Looking around the table there was a small print of paper simply saying "scan me". Fair enough we did and were brought to the web page menu. After a quick browse through we flagged someone down to take our order. Apparently no this isn't how you order, it's all done through the website? Would have been nice if someone explained this or even better, just put some signs up! Not the most user friendly, but we figured it out. Went through the online order, click click and then waited I would say about 5 minutes and the food came out. So the wait was pretty quick at least. The portion size of a regular bowl is a bit on the laughable side compared to other Pho places in York Region. Maybe it's just the bowl and it's an optical illusion but if your a hungry adult you may not be filled. Taste wise though, I do admit the broth was plenty tasty, they used the correct noodles for both our soups (some places just use one type of noodle for all their soups which is incorrect) and ingredient wise was pretty generous. We also ordered a coconut slushie with saigonese coffee. It was blended to perfection and the coffee was strong. After mixing it was a very tasty combination. Having said all that, value wise I wouldnt say this is the best deal in town unfortunately. Prices for a bowl of regular pho starts at $14.75 and an avocado slush starts at $8.75 which is on the more premium side of the scale. Maybe I'm used to pre-covid pricing but to break it all down for 2 small bowls of soup + 1 slushi drink out bill came out to roughly $53 including tax and tip. For the environment, ambience, service? Definitely not worth the price premium. Food wise? There's some dishes that aren't usually served (at least in York Region) so it may appeal to those that want to have more variety. Portion wise though.....you may have pre-eat at burger king if your bringing a date....but then again this place isn't very impressive if your bringing a date either. I would come back again to try some other dishes, but generally I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend this place, nor is it worth waiting more then 5 minutes to be seated if they are busy then just go elsewhere. read more

I didnt realize that my last review for this restaurant was back when it was still at its old location. I am so glad that they moved! The parking situation has improved significantly. All their food has been spectacular and consistent for every visit that I am here. You do get a 5% cash discount so I encourage you to ditch that of credit card of yours and pay in cash. I have tried their pho, vermicelli and crispy chicken wings. There has never been a bad experience, so I would say anything on their menu is worth a try. I do advise others that come to join their yelp waitlist. It is pretty accurate and it helps so that you don't have to wait for too long around the doorway. It does get pretty packed. read more

Came here on a Sunday for a late lunch with mr.Tran. The restaurant wasn't packed as we missed their busy times, but there were still people. I ordered the special pho Dac biet (assorted meat in beef broth with fresh noodles), and mr.Tran for himself a rice plate with shrimp wrapped in beancurd, and beef short rib. We also got fresh shrimp and pork rolls as an appetizer, and a coconut shake. The appetizer came first, and it was good. Nothing great and nothing bad. The coconut shake was really good though, the ones we usually have, have it a little water down compared to this coconut shake, so we really enjoyed that. My pho came out and it was piping hot which I appreciated. I added in my healthy greens (basil, lime, and beansprouts with a little touch of pickled peppers). First sip, the broth had very deep beef flavour. It was not salty, the noodles had a bounce of chewiness to them, and the meats were generous and delectable. mr.Tran rice plate was underwhelming presentation wise. It's not what I'm used to in Markham Vietnamese establishments. The food on his plate was okay, but he wished he got pho as well when he tried mine, and saw what he got after (haha, wife knows best)! I was not able to finish my pho, so mr. Tran happily finished it for me as his rice plate portion was smaller and I knew he could still eat. I would come back again, during a lazy day when I don't want to cook. read more

Picked up takeout from The Pho Restaurant tonight, ordering their vermicelli noodles with grilled lemongrass pork, beef, and chicken. The dish was a bit of a mixed bag--the beef, while lean, felt tough and lacked flavor. On the flip side, the pork and chicken were fatty and flavorful, which helped balance things out overall. The takeout process was straightforward. I ordered online through their website and picked it up at the specified time, with payment handled in-store--quick and easy. One thing that caught my attention was that unlike other Vietnamese spots I've visited, this restaurant didn't offer an option to select a single protein with the vermicelli noodles; the dish automatically included all three. While I'm undecided on a full recommendation just yet, I'm intrigued enough to return and explore other dishes on their menu. read more

Would have give a minus ~5 stars! The service was extremely disappointing and awful! We visited the restaurant on a snowy day and with specifically requested that one of our pho dishes be served with noodles and beef on the side, while just only the soup be in a separate bowl, would that be very troubling or difficult? We understand that this may be an unusual request, but in other Vietnamese restaurants we have visited, they have happily accommodated it. However, the server who came up to us after we placed our dine-in online order, with an extremely terrible attitude. She kept rolled her eyes and discriminated against our request. We were simply asking for a bowl of hot soup in a separate bowl and the rest of the dish on the side, and yet we had to endure her awful attitude. To make matters worse, the restaurant was not busy at all, with only 2-3 tables occupied in the afternoon. Despite this, the girl refused to fulfill our small request. We had ordered nearly a hundred dollars on our meal for just the two of us, but she showed no respect or care to our business. The worst ending part was she wrapped with the extremely rude phrases Her response was simply, "Go ahead and leave!" We understand that running a business can be challenging, However, with a server who provides such poor quality service to customers, regardless of how good the reviews we had seen on Google, totally damaging and horrifying experience! With no respect!!! We will NEVER return! read more

It has been one of my go to places for pho and pad Thai. But my most recent dining experience has not been the best. Maybe it's system error or something, there are stuff that are not on the QR code menu and need to order through a staff. Ok no biggie. I think what annoys us more is perhaps the cleanliness of the restaurant. We were early and could pick wherever we want to sit. At the time we already saw many flies. Then we sat down at a table and realized it looks unwiped. So we had to move to the next table. If we are the first people who entered, the dirty table would have been from last night? And then throughout the meal there's just so many flies that kept disturbing us, making the whole dining experience unpleasant. When we brought up this flies concern to the staff she just said yeah this year we saw a lot, not sure why. Hummmm, at least a "we are working on it"? Anyway, food hasn't deteriorated much and still good portion. And I like their boxes are now paper box (but coated?). Ps no cash discount, take credit card except Amex. read more

Finally got around to trying this restaurant and really enjoyed everything we ordered. We haven't been to their first location on the FMP side but found the restaurant to be clean with an easy to use ordering system via QR code. We got the banh dap (grilled pork and vermicelli on shrimp crackers), build your own pho, vermicelli with spring roll/bean curd shrimp cake/grilled pork, and bun bo hue. The dishes here are priced a bit higher but they definitely give you massive portions for the price. The flavours were delicious and well balanced and all our dishes used fresh ingredients. read more

Tucked away in a small plaza across from First Markham Place, The Pho Restaurant is an authentic Vietnamese spot that raises the stakes for all Vietnamese restaurants in the area. With the name "The Pho Restaurant" you gotta be darn sure that item is a star. And they do not disappoint. Ordering in the restaurant is pretty simple. You scan the QR code and the menu and ordering system is all digital! I got the house special (assorted pho) on the menu, the Bo Kho and an avocado smoothie. Man I swear they must've put a whole baby calf in the broth because that shit was BEEFY! Everything was so rich in flavour... it's just sad that I haven't visited this place earlier. As a half Vietnamese Canadian I give this a stamp of approval, if that even means anything lol. Anyways - this place has friendly service, homey atmosphere and even better pho. 5/5 will be back read more

Finally got a chance to visit my once-favourite viet restaurant after their relocation. I gotta say, disappointment :( I recall this place being way better before their move. We ordered: - Pho - Noodles too soft/overcooked. Broth was a bit too salty. - Bun vermicelli - Grilled meats were barely grilled and seasoned. The beef was also quite dry and not even cut into bite-sized pieces. - Spring rolls - Decent, nothing outstanding. - Chicken wings - Tiny. - Raw beef salad - Have had wayyyyyy better elsewhere. Service was half-half. Some of the waitresses were great. The other one not so much - forgot alot of things and had bad attitude. Overall this place has gone downhill from before... there's better options elsewhere now. read more
