| - Kimpo is a small hidden Viet restaurant in a standalone building beside the Milliken Go Station parking lot. There are many reasons why this is our favourite pho joint in Markham. Their broths, both chicken and beef, are complex, with fried crunchy garnishes that add another layer of flavor. And the best part? We don't feel thirsty after the meal!
I have been cutting out red meat from my diet, and there are not too many places that serve good chicken pho. This is definitely one of them, the chicken is not too dry and they are not stingy on the portion ($7.95 - small). I really like the fact that they use fresh flat rice noodles, instead of dried noodles like many other pho places.
My husband usually gets the rare beef pho ($7.95 - small), which comes with thinner rice noodles, and tender slices of meat.
One of the things we absolutely love about this place is the soup is served piping hot, which allows the bean sprouts and herbs to cook nicely.
This time, we also ordered the spring rolls ($5.95), which in my opinion had too much taro in them. However, my husband enjoyed it. The spring rolls came with a small side of noodles, carrots, bean sprouts and peanuts with a tasty fish sauce that is more on the sweet side. Overall, there is a lot to love here, with its simple, tasty and cheap options! Remember to bring cash though, as they do not accept other methods of payment.
