Pho Mi 00 - Lackawanna

Pho was solid and Pad Thai was yum! The padthai wasn't made with ketchup like other places but was still tangy... A decent place to get a meal near Vaughn Mills on a rainy day!

I was starving after shopping at Vaughn Mills shopping center next door.  It was about 9pm when we got here.  Looks like any other Pho place but the price was a little on the high end $7.45 for a Medium bowl).  I ordered a rare beef with tripe noodle.  The soup was really good with lots of sprouts and mint.  The beef was sliced thin and tasted fresh with lots of flavor.  It is a no frills place and what you see is what you get.  No disappointments here.

This is my regular spot for a hot bowl of delicious pho at least once every two weeks. I always order pho tai or sometimes grilled pork and chicken on rice with fried egg. For sides I usually order fresh grilled pork rolls or fried spring rolls which are very delicious! <br/ <br/ Service is always very quick and the food comes out fast. Yum!

An early go-to pho spot in Vaughan is Pho Mi 99 because they are so convenient for takeout. Fast forward a year, we finally dropped by to dine-in. It's pretty much a family-run food hall, with trolleys of prepared dishes coming from the kitchen within minutes of ordering. Their well-done beef rice noodle soup had a decent pho broth base. It's a little on the oily side but the savoury soup taste that you want is there. The waitress was quite considerate, bringing scissors a plastic bowl for the lil one w/o us asking (plus one star! . The grilled pork and spring roll on vermicelli was also on point. A bit skimpy on the grilled meat but the golden spring roll is very crispy with a thick batter that helps fill up your appetite. We thought perhaps they were having a slow evening with only 2 tables occupied in the large dining area when we arrived. However 20 minutes later, the place was pretty much packed to my surprise. Pho Mi 99 is a local favourite for cheap authentic Vietnamese eats.

Fantastic Vietnamese foods, the true taste of tradition dishes. Highly recommended.
