| - Came to this location on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. Surprised to see they opened a connecting "Banh Mi Metro" beside Pho Metro. This location is far superior in taste, quality and freshness than the Bur Oak location.
Food - 5/5
I often can't decide whether to order the pho noodle soup or the vermicelli dry noodle when eating at a Viet restaurant. This time I felt so hungry, I actually ordered both! Pho Metro has the best vermicelli meals in my opinion. I ordered the house special vermicelli which usually comes with shimp paste on sugar cane, but i think they were out, so they gave us a sauteed shrimp skewer instead. The grilled beef and pork were amazing. It was seasoned perfectly and you can taste the charred BBQ flavour. The spring roll was average and salad was fresh. We also ordered the house special beef pho. The noodles had good texture and the sliced beef, tendon, tripe and flank were all good. Broth was clear and flavourful. Even the plate of bean sprouts seemed fresher and cleaner than most places.
Service - 4/5
Prompt service. Needed extra fish sauce, got it right away. They had enough staff working during the busy lunch hour.
Value - 4.5/5
The best spot for vermicelli. They really load up on the meat portions. The quality, freshness, and taste are the areas where Pho Metro beats out its competitors. Sure, you can find cheaper Vietnamese restaurants, but not very many leave you as satisfied as Pho Metro. I live in the Markham area and drove all the way to this location because I know I can always count on them for good authentic Vietnamese food.
