My go to whenever I'm at First Markham Place and looking for food. It's located at a corner in the food court. Their prices are very affordable ranging from $10-12. Vermicelli with chicken and spring rolls is less than $11 which I can't seem to find this price anywhere else. The portion is pretty generous too. Highly recommend. read more

Fast food - foodcourt Pho is a little scary because it may be hit or miss. I loved the Pho at Yorkdale but that closed down but this place at First Markham Place is great. Great selection of dishes and good quality for the price. I had the Pho with all the fixings and my wife had lemon grass chicken. Everything was great and at fair price points. The only downside was cash only! Ambiance is N/A because you are in a foodcourt, but service was okay. read more

This place has the cheapest pho I ever seen. I brought the Pho Special to go for only $9 before tax and the portion size is probably a medium. I didn't mind the taste of it, it was just ok. Not much beef flavour in the broth but they did give out a good amount of meat. Things I didn't like was how they pre-cooked the bean sprout and didn't give me cutlery. Overall I'm pretty happy. I like how it's conveniently located inside First Markham mall as it allows me to buy other take out from other stalls at the same time. read more

Pho Ling's - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

We were hopeful that this would be a good meal after deciding to order from here instead of another place in the foodcourt. I should've checked the reviews first. At first we were going to order #32 - grilled pork chop and spring roll vermicelli but there's a sign that says they're out of pork chops. Not sure if they just don't order pork anymore or they're out for the day. It seemed unlikely that they'd sold out for the day when it was not too long after 11 am. We went with #33 - grilled chicken and spring roll vermicelli instead. We were told it'd be 8 minutes. It was not barely even 2 mins later when the food was ready. Kinda suspicious when it's only been 1/4 of the estimated time. Biting into the spring roll was a bit tough as it must've been refried (leftover from the previous day?). The chicken wasn't much better as it wasn't even hot on the inside and we suspect that it was also a leftover from the previous day and heated up in the microwave. read more

Pho Ling has been around for many years! I've ordered the "Bun Bo Hue" (spicy beef vermicelli noodle soup) Overall a solid 4/5, for the taste and price to portion ratio. It is very filling for $11, and it is suitable for people who wants a quick solution to pho cravings. FYI - this place is located within the First Markham Place foodcourt. Cash only. Does not accept debit or credit card (I really wish I can pay by credit since that is now my mainstream preferred payment method) read more

Pho Ling's - Bun Bo Hue - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

My bf and I came here to get some take out after shopping near by. I had a craving for some bun( vermicelli) but this totally ruined it for me. I ordered the vermicelli with chicken n spring rolls and my bf ordered the pork chicken rice . Both were $7 and came with a bottle of water. Price is 5/5. The chicken tasted old, dry and some pieces looked like "mystery meat " . The chicken also had a lot of soft bones in it making it really hard to enjoy my meal (2/5). The only good thing was the spring rolls, it was crunchy and tasted like how it should be (4/5). The fish sauce did not taste like fish sauce, it was salty and not sweet at all. It also left this ratchet smell in the car :/( quite different aroma than what we are used to). (1.5/5) The pork in my bfs rice was sooooo dry, even after dipping it into the fish sauce , it didn't make much of a difference. The chicken was as bad as the one in my meal :( (2/5) I am very unsatisfied from this meal :( not sure what I just ate ... ! It's cheap and they give you a lot of meat but quality is terrible! A better option is the bbq pork food vendor on the other side of the food court..it's only $6.50 and so much more enjoyable ! read more

Horrible. Don't come here - this place serves terrible Vietnamese food. I had massive cravings for Vietnamese vermicelli with grilled chicken, and was initially delighted to find it here... Only to be disappointed. First, the chicken was absolutely tasteless and had been so overcooked that it resembled pork (in particular, like char siu). There was no flavour whatsoever and the meat was unbelievably dense. I absolutely don't understand nor comprehend how that's possible. Second, the fish sauce itself was completely diluted. There was only a slight sweetness and some nasty funky taste. I am a lover of fish sauce, and have no idea what this liquid is. I left the majority of my dish untouched. Will not come here again. read more

Order the house special noodle soup and grilled chk spring roll on steamed rice. The food was decent just like all pho. Service was ok. They didn't seem happy to see customers. No smile, no reaction and kind of disappointed that they don't have take out lids or even option to buy 1 lol. Ambiance is a food court not much to say. read more

[LOCATION] - 4/5 This place is located on Rodick Rd. and Hwy 7 inside the food court at First Markham Place. Parking spots near the entrance are limited during peak hours [SERVICE] - 4/5 Staff were friendly and efficient. [DÉCOR] - 4/5 Seating in food court was limited during lunch rush, but sufficient for a quick meal. [QUALITY] - 3/5 Average-quality ingredients for pho from a food court. Nothing too fancy, and hits the spot if I crave cheap pho. [ORDER] - 3/5 - House Special Pho (comes with with pop/water bottle) - $7.00: beef balls and beef slices were not incredibly tender, but satisfactory. Noodles were cooked perfectly al dente. Definitely worth the price because the pho comes with a drink. [OVERALL] - 3/5 Definitely worth the value because the portion was quite large. Overall, I would recommend Pho Ling's for their decent and cheap pho. read more

Pho Ling's - House Special Pho - $7.00 - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

This is my favourite place in the First Markham Place food court. I usually over #37, Spicy Beef Vermicelli. Not too spicy, but spicy enough for me, and the beef slices are usually very tender and chewy. Green onions, white onions, vietnamese sausage are also included in the bowl. I usually special request some beef tripe, as I love it...for some reason. Broth isn't full of MSG unlike some other fast food places. All comes to an inexpensive $6 or so along with a bottle of water, pop, or soy milk (or iced coffee for extra charge - HIGHLY RECOMMEND), and it will fill you right up! read more

Maybe I should had order a pho with no toppings?! Pho with Raw Beef ($5.99) with choice of pop/water is a good value. I like how the noodle is served in a plastic bowl instead of one of those take out containers... Have you ever see those styrofoam containers melt because of how hot the broth is?! Portion is good and broth is decent. But sadly though, the raw beef was hard and chewy and tasted freezer burnt. Too many of those beef in my noodle really making my bowl of pho MEH. But for that price, maybe I am expecting too much?! Life is too short for cheap medocre food. I will pass...i read more

Pho Ling's - 生牛肉粉($5.99) Pho with Raw Beef - Vietnamese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Pho Ling's is the Vietnamese kiosk in the First Markham Place food court and has been run by the same family as far as I remember. The owners are really friendly and speak Vietnamese, Cantonese and English fluently so no problems ordering here:). I've only gotten pho here over the years as its very good especially for a food court. The broth is flavourful and the noodles cooked perfectly. The protein portion is a little on a small side but seriously hard to complain when you get pho for $7.50 (tax included) and it comes with a drink! Overall very good value for pho and +1 for a really nice family! read more

If you're like me, then you may have never tried food court pho because you're skeptical that it could be any good. Well, I finally tried it and I loved Pho Ling's! For just $7 and change, you get a nice size bowl of beef pho and it comes with a canned drink! The noodles were perfectly cooked, the broth was tasty and not too herby and no cilantro, and the portion left me feeling full and satisfied. Overall, excellent value and I love to recommend this place for pho to anyone. They're located in the food court of First Markham Place, so good luck finding parking during peak lunch or dinner times. read more

Honestly, one of the worst Vietnamese in all of Toronto / Markham that I know. Every time I go into the First Markham Place plaza, I'm always tempted to get Vietnamese food. I've given this place at least 5 chances, and it's been a mistake every time. Everything is extremely bland and flavourless here. Never again. read more

Pho Ling's has been at First Markham Place for many years now. Not much has changed, still the same friendly and always smiling group that work there. I usually order the House Special Pho, which is loaded with Beef Tendon, cooked and rare beef, tripe and beef balls on top of a decent portion of noodles. They use dry noodles, which I'm not really a fan of, but the broth is what makes it so good. It doesn't have a overwhelming amount of MSG, and it's the right level of sweet/savoury flavour. A good bowl of pho, for a decent price. I tried the Spring Roll and Lemongrass Chicken Vermicelli my most recent visit, and it was definitely disappointing. The accompanying sauce tasted like a mix of Salt and Vinegar, lacking that tangy and sweet flavour. The Spring Rolls looked delicious, but were loaded with pork that had a funky taste and huge chunks of taro. The grilled chicken was okay, but was lacking flavour. It was just lacking flavour all over, and didn't have veggies like basil or enough crushed peanuts and fried onions to give it some crunch. Maybe I'm just expecting too much from a food court place, but this was just disappointing because other items are great. read more

I'm usually hesitant on getting pho at a food court as I tend to think that because it's just a store within a mall, they lack customers and so stock less compared to a pho restaurant which leads to a compromise in the freshness and quality of their ingredients. Pho Ling's has changed my perception of food court pho stores. Located in the corner of the food court, this place is barely noticeable, but let me assure you that you'll never forget this place once you've tried their house special pho and spring rolls. The broth in the house special was very flavoursome, and their spring rolls were crisp. CRISP. I never use fish sauce, but let me tell you that I tried it with the spring rolls from this place, and HOLY TASTEBUDS... I tasted just about every flavour known to man that so beautifully fused together in just the perfect blend. Basically, try their spring rolls is what I'm saying. By the way, drinks are complimentary with meals. Came to about $7.90 tax in for the Pho, and $4.50 tax in for the spring rolls (2 pieces). Note: cash only read more

Decent quality and decent price, on top of that, you don't necessarily need to tip since it is located inside the food court of First Markham Place. Noodles come with all kind of condiments, and as a Vietnamese, it comes with fresh lime slices that give the noodles fresh juice, bringing out the flavour in the soup. I can see myself come here often and strongly recommend to anyone. read more

Good pork chop on rice meal, for $5.75 it comes with a pop or water or tea. This is the best vietnamese pork chop dinner you'll find in asian malls. I personally prefer it over any other Vietnamese restaurant. I usually get 27, I think that's what it's called. Grilled Lemon grass pork chop with a spring roll, and some veggies (lettuce, tomato, cucumber). read more

My review is only based on the house special and raw beef pho. 8 bucks for a bowl of pho ($1 extra if you want additional noodles) and a drink - choice of bottled water or soy milk. Quality is average but always consistent. Their condiment stand is always filled with sriracha hot sauce, hoisin sauce, fresh lime and chilli peppers. Can't really go wrong when you want a quick lunch with good portions and a great price. read more

One of my favourite places to eat at First Markham Place. Great prices for awesome portion, (roughly 6-7$, with pop/drink) I usually order the vermicelli with spring roll and grilled chicken or pork. The spring rolls are big, crunchy, and always tastes fresh (The spring rolls made here are my favourite, other Pho places offer really poor spring rolls) I occasionally order the house special (order 1). The beef noodle soup is really tasteful. read more

Worst Vietnamese food ever! Don't even bother. Meat is dry and tasteless. Good thing they only give you a tiny portion.

Food is great... from the pho to their spring rolls. I'm not big fan of the rice there... they use regular rice and not the real "com" for the rice dishes. Ice coffee is great too Have been going here for the last 4+years.... and will continue to support and recommend this place. read more

I order pork chop and chicken. End up they served me JERKY pork and CHICKEN. The meat are so so DRY, HARD and taste awful@!! The owner played his phone even after I greet him. He looked me after 10 seconds and continue his phone. Until I said I would like to order....... wow I didn't hear " Hi" or "What do you like" I am new to Yelp.ca only because I want you guys to know not to spent any dime to this store! I hate their food so much that I still nor happy second days so I decided to register yelp for this reason. All BUYER you guys have been warned! read more

We had the house special pho. You get a pretty big bowl of pho, it was tasty & the booth was light not overbearing. It was a pretty healthy meal.

Big portion and inexpensive, but there is where the pluses end. I ordered dry pho with grilled chicken and spring rolls. The chicken tasted dated and on the brink of going bad. The spring rolls were very crunchy (good) but the meat inside tasted dated, too. The noodle was okay though. read more

I ordered pork with my Pho. I couldn't figure out what the meat was. I then realized it was bacon! which is pork, I guess. The soup wasn't very flavourful. My son loves Pho but will only eat here if some of the other food court restaurants are closed that day. read more

We might order the wrong item. We ordered Pho. It's ordinary. 2 stars for the noodle soup. However, based on other's review, I paid extra for coffee. Man! it's the worst coffee I ever have in my life (among any styles of coffee). It tasted like that the owner had filtered the same grounded coffee for 3 or more rounds. The coffee is worth negative five stars. I strongly recommend NOT to order (even no extra charge). read more
