| - The Pho restaurant is the place "pho" you if you are craving some decent viet food in markham
Their name might be anything but creative, but their menu is as personalized as can be for a Vietnamese restaurant.
For the rice and vermicelli dishes, instead of going through gazillion choices (like in other Vietnamese restaurants' menu), this place make it simple for you by letting you pick whatever meat ( chicken, pork, beef) and whatever sides (spring rolls, eggs, shrimp cane) you want with your dish. Genius! This probably shorten their menu by 5 pages!!
You also have different soup base choice for the pho, different type of noodles, and for some dish you can choose to have bread instead of noodles. (Although they ran out of bread on my visit today. Bummer)
As for the food itself, it is quite decent. Bun Bo Hue may be lacking a bit of flavour, I think they are missing a few herbs that goes in it. The Beef brisket with tomato is tender, although not much of a "stew" as describe in the menu, it's more like a soup.
Appetizers were spot on. Chicken wings in fish sauce, beef wrapped in betal leaves and shrimp cracker top with grilled pork. All I would order again.
Service was friendly and efficient.
Portion seems to be a bit smaller than some other Vietnamese restaurants. This just means more room for apps.
