| - I feel like I never learn my lesson. I went to the Mississauga Pho Mi 99, and figured that the Vaughan location would have a different chef and a different experience. Boy, was I wrong.
Although this location was slightly better than its counterpart in Mississauga, they are still very unsatisfactory.
I tried the large bowl of pho again, and once again, I was very disappointed. The first sign of trouble came when they brought out the lime and beansprouts. The lime was cut very small, and it was dry. I could not squeeze any juices out of it. Next came my large bowl of pho. I thought it was deja vu. I saw a lot of broth, a bit of rice noodles, and barely any meat. I rationed my meat throughout the meal to try finish everything, but by the time I finished the meat, there was still plenty of noodles and broth left. That is very unsatisfying when considering I rationed and took in smaller portions of meat in each bite to accommodate. And the broth? Although slightly better than Mississauga Pho Mi 99, slightly better than water is still very lacking in flavor. Pho broth should be flavorful, not taste like water.
My friends tried the rice dishes this time, and they said it was average at best (meaning, it was not very good). Yes, this place is clean and nice looking, but no, good decoration does not equate to good food.
