| - I was here recently with my husband and my parents. Pho Mi 99 is in the strip mall across from Vaughan Mills Mall. So if you don't want to eat in the food court, just go across the parking lot to Pho Mi 99 - you won't be disappointed.
The restaurant is big and clean. The washrooms are also clean.
This place has mostly Vietnamese food, but also has Chinese and Thai dishes.
We ordered the Mixed Pad Thai (Shrimp, Chicken, Beef and Tofu), Deluxe Cantonese Chow Mein (Shrimp, Chicken, Beef, Squid and Fish Balls), and Stir-fried Shrimp with Vegetables.
The Pad Thai was the best of the lot. The Pad Thai tastes very different from Pad Thai at other restaurants, but it was good nonetheless. There is a lot of galangal in the Pad Thai, you can taste the grittiness (but it's not a bad thing). There is also more fish sauce than at other places. I personally really enjoyed it. There was plenty of meat and tofu and it was all very flavourful and delicious. The only negative thing was that it was a little bit oily, but this is the case with Pad Thai at all restaurants.
The Cantonese Chow Mein was also delicious. The noodles were very crispy and it was topped with lots of meat, seafood and vegetables (broccoli, carrot, and peppers). The sauce of this dish was very similar to the sauce of the stir-fried shrimp dish (it might even have been the same sauce). The shrimp dish was equally delicious, with lots of shrimp (although a smaller size) and veggies (broccoli, carrot, peppers and baby corn).
Service was fast, and you get free tea as soon as you sit down.
Definitely better than the stuff you'd get at the Vaughan Mills Mall food court. I'd go back if I was in the area.
