Pho veggie

As a Viet person, this place is % legit goodness Got the phở, bún bò huế, and phở rau cải. They came out boiling hot, perfect for a cold day Broth was delicious and service was quick. Vibes are bustling, cozy, family-owned shop in strip mall location. Would eat here again

Menu
R Q.

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.

Pho Dac Biet - Vietnamese Rice Noodle and Original Beef Broth (Regular - $16)

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.

actually one of my fave pho restaurants in markham!! portions are generous and reasonable for the price. food were all fresh and delicious. 9/10 for flavour ambience was nice - pretty busy on a sunday night but felt very homey. service was fast. order on your phone and food comes in 5-10 mins. will definitely be back!!

Came by on a Sunday just before 12pm and it got quite busy after. I ordered a vermicelli, it came with 3 choices of toppings so I got 2 chicken and a spring roll. For $19 it wasn't quite worth it in my opinion so is the chicken wings $14.95. Service was great but prices are pretty steep.

Fall apart beef chunks and very tender carrot pieces. Also has some of the best milkshakes, especially the durian one.

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!

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.

Chicken Pad Thai
Terry C.

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.

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!

Vermicelli
Jen H.

Mmmm yum! So conveniently located, right off highway 7 and close to all the shopping, this is the perfect stop! Love the authentic menu and the dishes are also authentic. The soup broth is really rich and tasty. Fried spring rolls are crispy and chunky yummy! Definitely coming again! Just look at my pics.....drool

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.

Chicken Wings and Regular size BYOB Pho
Arnel B.

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.

We came here for their promotion $25 for 2 people. Recently, we saw some reels recommended that…read morethis restaurant offers a great deal, and the deal only offers from Monday to Thursday, and Wednesday is closed. Today was Tuesday, so we were good to go. The promo was $25 including 1 bowl of noodle, 1 bowl of clay pot rice with meat and 1 of snack dishes. We could choose them from the special menu. We chose the beef noodle soup, chicken & mushroom clay pot with soup, and the snack was the deep fried wonton. The wonton was great, so delicious and my little one loved it so much; the beef noodle soup was ok, but only a few pieces of beef and radish; the clay pot was the most I like, when I put the soy sauce in, the pot was boiling. That's so nice. That also caused the crackers at the bottom. That's really amazing. We also got a little bowl of the seaweed soup for the clay pot. So nice. This special deal was so good that enough for all of us. Next time, I would like to try other options.

Came here to try their $25 double combo and it did not disappoint!…read more For just $25, you get a full meal for two -- including hand-pulled noodles, a claypot dish, and a snack. The Lanzhou noodles had a great chewy texture and tasted super fresh. The claypot rice was warm, savory, and had that nice crispy bottom layer which made it extra satisfying. Portions are generous and the flavors feel very authentic and comforting -- like a home-cooked meal. It's a great budget-friendly option in Markham, especially if you're dining with a friend or partner. Definitely a hidden gem for cheap eats. Would recommend if you're craving noodles and claypot rice without spending too much!

The service was pretty good, lots of staff, they were all fast and friendly. I got the hot and sour (one spice level) and the soup had the perfect fish and sourness. The spiciness was very mild. It had a good amount of fish, silky tofu and vegetables. I also love their rice noodle! My partner got the hot and sour (two spice level) and I don't know what happened.... It tasted so bad. Would thought it would be a spicier version of mine but his soup lacked fish flavour, sourness, spiciness - it was so bland. I would definitely be back and re-order what I got today. I also tried the original fish soup noodle and that one was good too. I would avoid the hot and sour (two spice level) at all cost...

Peking duck -- spend $69.99 and get it for $29.99 2.

Let's just say... we did not finish it, but I definitely did my part . The duck wrappers were separated with dim sum liners so they didn't stick -- and they were so soft. Everything was delicious, and now I'm wondering why we haven't come here sooner . The staff was amazing and very attentive and the restaurant was clean.

It had an ancient Chinese theme and the seating was very comfortable with these really long tables. The service was quite standard and typical. Nothing amazing. We ordered a few dishes including the Shrimp Rice Roll, Beef ho fun, Grouper tofu pot, Braised Pork Hock and their Minced Beef Egg Clay pot rice. The Shrimp rice roll was quite soft but the pieces of shrimp were quite small and it was just a bit too bland for me. The Beef Ho fun was so good. I can tell the rice noodles they used were high quality. It had a bit of a chew to it rather than it being soggy and soft. The Wok Hei was great as well and they gave us plenty of beef slices. The Tofu Grouper pot was so delicious. They used high quality fish and the portion sizes were quite good for 18$. The pork hock was also really good. It was only 8.99$. The flavor was so delicious and the pork hock itself had a "bouncy"/QQ texture. It was great. The only dish we absolutely HATED and DO NOT recommend was the Clay Pot Rice. I had a really good clay pot rice at a different restaurant 2 weeks ago so I decided to order one here as well. It was so bad. The rice was not cooked properly. The meat to rice ratio was like 1 to 10 There wasn't even any crispy rice at the bottom. and the meat itself was not tender. It was dry and rough. No wonder why I can't find any reviews of their clay pot rice online. Probably because nobody orders it. Other than the Clay Pot rice and shrimp rice roll everything else was really good so I definitely would come back again.
