| - Pho Ngoc Yen is a new family run and operated Vietnamese restaurant in Mississauga. It's located in an industrial area of Mississauga and you wouldn't be able to find it unless you were specifically looking for it but if you are looking for good authentic Vietnamese food, the location shouldn't deter you from going because it's worth the drive.
It's a beautiful restaurant with a really nice decor and very spacious in comparison to your typical Vietnamese restaurant and can accommodate large parties.
The deep fried spring rolls (2 for $5 plus tax) had a nice presentation. The deep fried spring rolls were good but not great, outside skin was a little overcocoked and didn't have the light bubbly outside which is my preference. The inside of the spring rolls were good, nice texture and right balance of taro with the other ingredients.
The Pho Ngoc Yen Dac Biet ($9.50 plus tax for a medium) which is essentially the house special was really good and definitely one of the best in Mississauga. Perfectly cooked noodles, good quality of beef, beef balls and most importantly a really good broth.
The Bun Bo Hue ($9 plus tax one size only) which is essentially beef, pork with vermicelli in a spicy lemongrass soup. The Bun Bo Hue was pretty good, really hard to find good authentic Bun Bo Hue in Mississauga. Perfectly cooked noodles, nice spicy broth but not too spicy and good quality of beef and pork and cubes of pork blood.
Overall, really good and authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Mississauga, definitely one of the best. Really good food that's reasonably priced, great friendly service, nice decor, ambience and very clean.
