| - I used to go to this location many times a couple years ago, as it was really the only Pho place I knew about, and it was my friends favourite. I loved going here - the service was quick, food was great and as always, the Pho felt comforting.
Now dating a wonderful Vietnamese girl for over a year, I have been introduced to many different Pho spots. Having tried the other restaurants, my love for this place has decrease. When i say decrease, i don't mean its bad, just not as good as other locations.
I usually order Pho Tai Ga (pretty basic meal, chicken and beef in noodle soup). Maybe 5-8 minutes after ordering, we got our meals. I didn't order any drink, but instead drank the tea they provided (i think it was green tea? I'm not very good with my teas lol) but they offer pop and beer from what i could see.
It was time to dig into my pho! Tasted great, but I found that a bunch of the beef was clustered together. I don't experience this at other locations, so this was a minus point in my eyes. I quickly devoured my large bowl after clearing my hunger. Most places including 99 have MSG in their Pho, so as usual, i was pretty thirsty, so i drank a few cups of tea.
All in all, the food was pretty good, but did not stand out compared to other Pho places. I prefer Golden Turtle over Pho-Mi-99, but wouldn't mind going back here if i am in the area.
