| - While I was disappointed with some of the popular items being unavailable during dinner, I really enjoyed the Pho Restaurant consider them a more than welcome addition to the Markham Vietnamese food scene.
We went on a somewhat late Sunday evening and really wanted to try their Bun Bo Hue and their springs rolls but were told they were out of both. I suppose you have to come earlier in the day! That being said we still enjoyed their pho and their vermicelli.
The build your own pho is a great idea, again, we were told they didn't have the fresh noodles (apparently they're thinner and more chinese like), so we went for the traditional variety in the classic beef broth. What I noticed was just how pipping hot this soup was in a totally wonderful way. It was borderline scorching but still drinkable. One of my biggest complaints for many restaurants are that their soup isn't warm enough, I'm glad this place does it right! And while the size and pricing might take you back initially, there's plenty of toppings and the ability to choose your proteins allow to get what you like. Of course, they're all delicious, so I got all of them. The beef is very meaty, it's tender, all that tripe and tendon was wonderful. Their broth was on the cleaner and clearer side.
The vermicelli was excellent and you get to choose from three proteins, there was a hefty amount of meat and veggies. Again, the dish arrived warm and the meats were all tender and juicy.
All in all, a great first visit here and I love how authentic they are. I can't wait to come back and try their bo bun hue and their spring rolls!
