3rd time here... and each and everytime was due to its proximity to my family doctor who was in the same plaza and I just come here after my doctors appointment - should have made the effort to drive back over to First Markham Place to VIP...
On my most recent visit I ordered the $8 Satay Pho. I've tried this pho at various places - Lemongrass (16th & Leslie), Vic Hong BBQ House (MajorMac & Bayview) and VIP (First Markham Place). All 3 places actually uses a satay soup base which gives the broth a distinct and flavorful taste from the regular beef pho broth.
What does Pho on 7 do? They just gave me a regular beef pho then added a tiny spoon of REAL SATAY peanut sauce and a couple slices of pineapple. WTF? It tasted weird and I couldn't tell if I was eating beef Satay Skewers or Beef Pho!
For $8, I could get an XL Satay Pho at VIP and pack some home!
The only good thing about this place is their smoothie - the avocado one I had was delicious so I will come back for take outs only and treat this as another "BBTea" place that sells food...
