| - Total review 3.5 stars, very good score.
In short, this is a quality place with lots of parking in an area that's near a lot of other stuff if your in South Markham / north est Scarborough. Good atmosphere, nice finishes in restaurant and good pricing.
Atmosphere
It's clear that this place used to be an AYCE Sushi place and prior to that used to be a chain restaurant like a Harvey's that had a drive through window. This place though takes that all over and makes it look nice with the nice if finishes on the inside with lots of room and tables for all. Very clean looking and bathrooms were clean.
Menu/staff
Expansive but standard menu of a pho/Vietnamese place that'll offer similar dishes like Thai and Chinese stuff. I believe the people who served me were Vietnamese too so that's a plus. Very friendly and accommodating to a family with a small child, especially when the child was crying her face off.
Food
Given that it had pho in the name, I had to order their house special pho which is the one with all the types of beef, rare beef, steak, tripe, beef balls, and tendon. However as we all know pho is about the broth, and this broth was good. Clear, deep flavour, the right amount of spices and seasonings. I always add the basil lime and a bit of chili paste to give it the flavour I want but it was delicious and just what I was craving. They use vermicelli noodles and not the thin rice noodles and that was fine.
Lots of meat in there.
$7 for a small, $8.25 for a large, $10.25 for extra large. Had the large and that was plenty. That's a medium at most places too. Great value for money and good place to go after a Costco run or something like that.
Would go again.
