A couple of Wednesdays ago, after work, I had an early dinner at this Pho Anh Vu on Highway 7 in Vaughan, between Keele and Jane streets. I have passed by this eatery a number of times since it opened. It was time to check it out. This location used to be Veg Italiano. There used to be a pho place a few doors down. It is now a Turkish eatery. This small plaza does have some turnover. However, the Turkish place and this eatery have been here for at least a couple of years. I hope they remain. I got here at around 3:30 pm. I had no problem finding a parking spot. I backed into a vacant one and walked in. I was immediately greeted by a male staffer. I got to sit wherever I wanted. I chose a booth by the window. I got menus to peruse. There were two other tables with customers. It was nice. Hot tea came to me with two cups. The hot tea was exceptionally piping hot. I used both cups to pour tea into them and let them cool. I was ready to order. It took a long time to get a server to come over. The woman at the counter noticed that I was ready and flagged the male server to take my order. I got these items: - Soda lemonade - Grilled chicken on vermicelli with spring rolls My soda lemonade came first. It was fizzy, cold, and refreshing. I loved it so much. I would get it again in a heartbeat. It also helped me down my food as I waited for my hot tea to cool down. When my tea was finally at a temperature that wouldn't scorch my tongue, it was fragrant and yummy. I loved the grilled chicken. It was flavourful and grilled to perfection. The vermicelli was generous and yummy. The spring rolls were stuffed and crispy. This dish came with dipping sauce that I ended up pouring on everything. I feel that I needed more of it. I paid at the counter with a debit card. I tapped and was good. This eatery got busy after 4 pm. My guess is that everyone came to watch the Canada-Switzerland FIFA game. It got tense in the place. Eventually, Canada lost this game. I used the washroom before I left. It was beautiful and clean. It's a decent location that serves good food. The tea was too hot. Service started off slow, but was a lot better once my order was place. I'd love to return to try more items off the menu. (280)

Tip: Cash and debit cards only…read more On my last day of vacation, I took my time heading back to Markham from Oakville. I needed something to eat. It was my second meal of the day at nearly 5 pm, as I started my day late. I had been meaning to visit this Linh Anh restaurant that is across from CF Markville Mall. I decided to grab some grub here before heading home. There was lots of parking when I got here. I backed into a spot and walked in. A male staffer was heading into the eatery when I was. It was cool, as he held the doors open (there are two sets) and then sat me down at a table near the front counter. Double Lucky Seafood Cuisine was in this spot before Linh Anh took it over. Not so lucky or doubly lucky for that former restaurant! The interior is stunning! I'd come here just to relax under trees with pink flowers and admire the old turntable. I got a couple of laminated menus. I also got a piece of paper with my table number written on it. The idea is that you write down your order on the piece of paper. I got these items: - Squeezed lime drink with ice - Grilled chicken vermicelli with a spring roll A pitcher of cold tea and a cup arrived. I was happy that it was chilled tea. It was such a hot day that drinking hot tea wouldn't have made me a happy camper. My squeezed lime drink with ice was brought to my table. I loved it so much. The lime was slightly tart and it had lime bits in it. It was icy cold, which I appreciated. It was excellent. I'd order it again. My grilled chicken vermicelli with a spring roll came out next. Thank goodness I didn't order any appetizers because this bowl of deliciousness was massive! I had my crispy spring roll first, which was packed with shrimp, pork, and veggies. I dipped it in the sauce. So tasty! I ended up pouring all the sauce onto everything in my bowl and mixing it up. The mixing took some time because I had to eat some of the grilled chicken to be able to mix. The chicken was flavourful, juicy, and yummy. It was a generous portion. The veggies were fresh and crispy. I got a generous amount of vermicelli, which was perfectly cooked. I loved this meal so much. I'd get it again. I paid at the counter once I was done eating. This place only accepts cash and debit cards. The man at the counter asked how I'd like to pay. I said debit card. He thanked me, which was a response that I didn't anticipate. Maybe he was expecting me to say credit card, which is normally how I tend to pay for everything. I tipped and tapped. Done! I got candy before I headed to use the washroom. The washroom stall that I used was decent. No complaints. I loved dining here. I'd return again for more good eats and drinks. (309)

Linh Anh is our go to when we're craving rich authentic pho especially for their bone marrow pho!…read moreWhen we went recently, I was a little shocked that it came with 2 pieces of bone marrow but the server confirmed that since they're smaller, they gave 2. I thought that was really nice of them. My husband and I can usually get away with just sharing the pho and rolls, which are always consistently good. The unionville location is much bigger than Scarborough so I'm glad they opened this second location. It's also always nice to look around their decor which always remind me of our Asian grandparents' house back then.

We decided to try la sen after a glowing recommendation from a colleague. Located on the ground…read morefloor of a parking garage, you can get validated parking if you eat at a restaurant nearby. La Sen has a beautiful interior and decent amount of seating for its smallish space. Service was good - things came quickly and they seem to have quite a few unique items on the menu. Beef salad - really refreshing and flavorful salad. Had a bit of spicy kick on the beef which was really nice with the other fresh vegetables. Wine braised pho hotpot - I really enjoyed this hotpot - even more so than their typical pho. You can get unlimited soup refills too which is great. Broth is light yet flavorful. Pho - decided to try their "regular " pho which has a bit more herbal notes than their hotpot. It's not bad but I could see some of the herbal/spice undertones being off putting to some. Stret style platter - lots of good, great variety, very fresh. Loved this dish - getting to make your own customized roll is worth it. Durian crema coffee - an interesting that I've never seen. It's line a typical coffe but a large and thick layer of durian foam layer on top of the coffee. Price: A bit higher than other pho places but well worth trying

The broth was rich and tasty, although it leaned a bit on the salty side. The bone marrow itself was good, but I think I'd order the pho without it next time since I didn't feel it paired especially well with the soup. The service was attentive throughout the meal, and the seating was comfortable, making for a pleasant dining experience. I'd definitely come back, especially for the flavorful vermicelli!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND the minced lamb and beef "sausage" pressed onto sugar cane - it was LEAN and you could taste the lamb. The pork and chicken too were fantastic and ingredients fresh. Glad we stopped in.

We came by as a large group on Sunday lunch hours and were surprised that it was quite empty…read more FOOD (2/5) For my girlfriend and I, we ordered a Large Pho w/ Rare Beef and Brisket (#38) and a side of Fresh Rolls. The fresh rolls came as two but had a strange almost stinky smell which deduced to be coming from the chive/lemongrass garnish on the plate. The rolls are quite standard and is served with a peanut based sauce. The pho was a bit disappointing since it didn't feel like there was a whole lot of noodles, the beef was a bit overcooked (almost as if it wasn't rare went it was put in the bowl) and the broth was a bit bland and watery. DRINKS (4/5) As usual, we ordered two Viet Iced Coffees which is served as it is still dripping into a cup with condensed milk. Once finished you mix it yourself and add it to a cup filled with ice, which I've seen other restaurants do as well. The coffee wasn't as strong as other places imo but still good nonetheless. SERVICE (5/5) The staff was super helpful and friendly. The owner even came out and asked if we would like to experiment our viet iced coffees with coconut milk instead. They do accept Amex too! AMBIENCE (2.5/5) Feels super mom-and-pop/family-run which gives it a bit of a homier feel. But decor was definitely dated and the menus being taped under the table glass felt a bit strange. VALUE (3/5) Pricepoints are similar to other Vietnamese restaurants but I think the food here is supbar in terms of taste and a volume. ACCESSIBILITY (4.5/5) Located right at Warden and Eglinton, this plaza will be really easy to commute to once Line 5 opens up. There is a decent amount of parking although can be busy at peak times. OVERALL (2.5/5) I was hoping this local restaurant was going to amaze me but sadly left disappointed. I think there are better Viet restaurants out there but understandably there aren't as many options in this area. I think the biggest let down was the taste and quality of the food and it seems other Yelpers share a similar experience.

First, the pros: their burgers are definitely a highlight. The patties are very substantial, with a genuine meaty flavor, not the mass-produced kind. The toppings are also well-chosen, not just piled on haphazardly. The plating is also a plus; it looks quite appetizing when it arrives at the table. The service is generally friendly, not overly enthusiastic but not unpleasant either. However, the cons are also quite obvious. The biggest problem is the inconsistent quality--some dishes are excellent, while others are rather ordinary, even making you feel like "something else tastes better." Plus, the prices aren't cheap, so if you happen to order an average dish, the value for money doesn't quite meet your expectations. Also, the restaurant lacks a truly memorable signature dish, making it less memorable after your meal.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, and service was quick and efficient throughout the meal. One thing I liked is that the pho only comes in one size, which is basically equivalent to a large bowl at most other spots. The broth was so good that I barely needed to add anything besides bean sprouts, basil, and a squeeze of lime. It was light, clean, and incredibly comforting. There was a generous amount of meat, especially beef tendon, and the portion overall was huge. It's rare for me to struggle to finish a bowl of pho, but this one had me tapping out near the end. Definitely understand why this spot is such a Scarborough favorite.

A special mention goes to their 海訪蟹肉春卷 BUN NEM CUA BE, they're generously filled, with large pieces of shrimp and fresh crab meat . The service was also excellent and warm atmosphere. The only downside was the Vietnamese coffee--it was so watery and tasteless. Still, compared to last time, I added a bit to my rating. Overall, I'd give it 3.5 stars.
