| - I love the Kim Po location in Chinatown, but sometimes it's a bit of drive, especially from Markham, therefore I have to satisfy my cravings elsewhere. Thankfully, there are many different Kim Po locations closer to me, however I don't believe they are the same in anyway other than the fact that they have the same name and they serve similar items on the menu.
I've recently been going to this location, located right across Pacific Mall very often, and their food certainly does not disappoint. Although it looks pretty run down from the outside with little to no parking space, the interior is much better. They don't have a lot of seating, and it does get cramped when busy.
My go-to item is definitely the Fuk Kien Noodles, which come with a Shrimp Cracker. The Chinatown location is the OG, and in terms of the flavor of the broth, this Kim Po is certainly up there in the big leagues. By default, they serve two kinds of noodles, rice noodle and thick yellow noodles, however for many years my dad has been asking to substitute the yellow noodles for Ho Fun (Thick Rice Noodles), which is definitely a game changer. They add more meat in the noodle soup compared to the one downtown, which is a bonus, because it's so soft and ohh so tender! We've explored other parts of their menu and had the Pho, Lemongrass Chicken with Rice as well as the Spring Roll Vermicelli which are pretty good and authentic as well! I would totally recommend this place as its decently priced, and the quality is there.
