| - VIP is located on the side, just outside First Markham Place. Just look for the pink sign, you can't miss it!
VIP is a Vietnamese Restaurant and they didn't impress me at all. The seats that my girlfriend and I were at were not comfortable at all (we got a booth) to start.
My girlfriend ordered a hot and sour soup and some noodles in curry. The soup was watered down to hell and wasn't even close to what hot and sour soup should be. While I understand that there could be variations, maybe they should make that clear in the menu. The noodles were the second problem as her noodles were terribly overcooked. I ordered lemongrass chicken wings and chicken vermicelli. The wings were awesome. I loved them, as they were cooked perfectly. The vermicelli was decent... to start. As I got closer to the bottom, I started finding terribly undercooked noodles. I only ate about half of them because the bottom half wasn't edible. Which is a shame because the chicken that came with them was pretty good.
I told the waitor about what the problem was with both noodle dishes but he didn't seem to either understand, or care about them being overcooked and undercooked. I don't even recall him apologizing. If you either don't care, or understand, then why are you working there? I didn't expect to get anything from telling the waitor, but his reaction was underwhelming. The other waitor, who actually seated us and took our order, also took zero effort to check up on us at all, so getting the bill took longer than it should have. The price honestly would've been worth paying if everything tasted good.
I don't plan to return here. There are much better Vietnamese options in Markham. I'd point anyone who wants Vietnamese to go about a minute away to the food court in First Markham Place.
