Pho Mi 99

I dont understand how this place is rated lower than the other phở restaurants surrounding it. Must be all these ppl with bad taste who dont know how to criticize viet food. Every time
I come here it always hits the spot. Their broth is always good, reasonable portions and well priced. Their fish sauce is sweet and a little stronger than many other places, but I prefer it a little stronger bc I find that its too weak at most places.

Phở Mi 99 has been around for ages! Phở Mi 99 is located in the mini plazas of Vaughan Mills Shopping Center — you’ll see it when you are driving out of the mall (but before you actually exit the mall +parking perimeter).
We decided to go with one of their phos. Prices for these depend on the size. Small — $ 6.50, Medium — $ 7.50, Large — $ 8.50 and Extra-​Large — $ 9.50. The soup base for the phở wasn’t steaming hot — but that’s what I look for in the soup base, because a steaming hot bowl means that they have boiled it completely, as opposed to a medium to high heat. The noodles were alright, nothing extremely special.
Their pork with rice was a standard average Vietnamese dish. It came with the same sauce as the spring rolls. Definitely one of my go to dishes!
For a snack, we ordered the Deep Fried Spring Rolls (under snacks) for $ 4.50. These spring rolls were longer than other places, cut into three pieces each and crispy. Dip it with the sauce — I think it’s the best part.

Solid 3.5.
Great little phở place. Service is always very quick. It’s a write your order number on a sheet of paper kind of place. Very reasonable for a sit down meal. Dinner for two was $ 18 plus tip.
We had the medium sized phở and the vermicelli with chicken and pork. Very filling and tasty.

I’m always on a never ending quest to find Vietnamese restaurants in Toronto that make great phở and after doing some shopping at Vaughan Mills Outlet Mall, I ended up at Phở Mi 99.
In Toronto, there are a lot of Vietnamese restaurants now. A lot of them serve very mediocre phở and very few serve good phở and only a handful do an amazing bowl of phở. Phở Mi 99 falls just slightly below the good rating but definitely better than the mediocre end.
I ordered a medium Phở Dac Biet (House special for $ 8.00 plus tax), the noodles were cooked right, beef quality was only okay, a little too fatty for my liking and the broth was not bad but a little on the weak side in terms of a rich flavour. It’s still a decent bowl of phở but nowhere near the top places in the city.
If you’re near the Vaughan Mills area, it’s a decent choice and probably slightly higher priced for the west end but still very reasonable and pretty clean from my experience eating there. It’s also 100% Vietnamese run and owned if that matters to you.

The large is so large it easily feeds two or three people. Broth is tasty, but it was a bit light on the meat given the size of the bowl. (Hence only a three star overall rating.)
Good fresh spring rolls with grilled pork. Shrimp on sugar cane somewhat lackluster.

I’ve never written a review before, but this is just utterly disgusting. Me and my girlfriend got takeout on Thanksgiving day and we found not one, not two, but three hairs, THREE (3) HAIRS. The only explanation I can get from this is that the chef is balding profusely or they dropped the porkchop on the floor and just picked it back up and served it again. What kind of business are they running? I’ve gone there a couple of times before and it was always good. After this I’m never going back again and I’m telling all my friends to never eat there again. Gross! If I could give lower then one star I really would.

Decided to go here because we were shopping at the mall, should of eat at the food court. We were there around 7pm yesterday on a Monday night and there was only couple other tables eating, I had a bad feeling but am thinking it’s Monday night. Food was uneventful, soup was not hot and bland, and they use dry rice noodles. I don’t know if I am spoiled by some of the vietnamese restaurants in Scarborough and Markham area, the few that I go to use fresh vietnamese rice noodles not the dry noodles, I hate the taste of dry rice noodles. We ordered 4 soup noodles, 2 small 2 medium and they only give us a small plate of bean sprouts and no fresh chilies. Spring rolls was good but the grilled pork was way too sweet, can’t taste any other herbs but sweet. We were done around 7:30pm and was sitting there chatting. The server was mopping the floor around us, we sat close to the door and he could of mop anywhere in the restaurant but he chose to mop where we were sitting, I think he was trying to tell us it’s time to go. Overall not a good experience.

Decent phở the last time we were here. Food looks better than it tastes.
Unfortunately broth doesn’t even do it for me here. The phở was tasteless — water. The optional hoisin and Sriracha were mandatory this visit. Biggest peeve — rare beef coming out over cooked. Beef balls tasted like they are to expire today.
As for the bun bo hue — nothing worst than cold pork blood which was obviously just dropped into not hot enough soup.
The restaurant is run by vietnamese people which can be rare but also makes it inexcusable. Service is quick which makes sense why our table smells like damp towel… yuck. I’m embarrassed to be a regular check in here.
Also $ 27 for 2 before tip?! If I could review less than I star I would.

Food here is overall decent and fast. Phở or bun or the rice dishes are all solid picks. Food comes out fast and the servers are quick and efficient. Pricing is about average. Good choice if you are in the Vaughan Mills area.

A great place to get PHO that is right next to Vaughn Mills. Lots to choose from the menu, I got a medium sized, well done beef phở. It came with a generous portion of noodle and beef and the soup was tasty. I also got a portion of dough fritter, which was amazing, crunchy and light!
The service was fast and effective. The location doesn’t have a fancy décor but it’s clean enough.
The prices were quite reasonable, about $ 8 for a bowl. Do keep in mind that the portions are generous, so only order the large if you are really really hungry.
Overall, a great place to go if you just want some simple phở!

This is my go to PHO place whenever I’m in the Vaughan area. It’s located conveniently across from Vaughan Mills Shopping Mall so you can come here for a quick bite before or after shopping.
There is a wide selection of food items on the menu but I usually come here for their tasty phở noodles, it’s perfect on a cold day or if you’re ever hungover. I usually get a small bowl of noodles with beef, beef tripe and beef balls. The beef is thinly sliced and they always offer a generous portion. The soup broth however stands out from the rest, it’s hot, tasty, light and not oily compared to some other PHO restaurants. My boyfriend and I also ordered their shrimp rolls which are made fresh daily and is a perfect appetizer to the meal.
You can easily get a bowl of noodles and be completely satisfied for just under $ 8! Totally comfort food at a cheap cost.
Service is pretty standard for an asian place, it’s quick and efficient!
So come here if you’re ever craving that perfect bowl of phở noodle soup.

This is my regular spot for a hot bowl of delicious phở at least once every two weeks. I always order phở 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!
Service is always very quick and the food comes out fast. Yum!

I have been coming to this Phở Mi 99 for years. Fast and Consistent. Always a good experience.
Conveniently located across from Vaughan Mills. Phở Mi 99 is a much better option than eating inside Vaughan Mills food court before or after shopping!
Menu is quite diverse as there are more than just Phở! I like how I can even select what toppings for my Bun Bo Hue. as I am never a fan of pig’s knuckles.

Average vietnamese food and price. If u r hungry in the area it’s a good visit.
Definitely would prefer this over the food court in Vaughn mills.

I was originally planning to go to Truly Thai, but after failing to find the restaurant (I know where it is now after looking at the Unilocal reviews), I decided to come here, as I have generally positive experiences with the Phở Mi 99 chains.
This place was larger than I thought, especially judging from outside it looked like a narrow restaurant. Despite the fact it was full house, I managed to get a seat rather immediately, and I quickly placed my order as I only wanted a quick bite and didn’t wanna stay long.
I ordered the seafood rice noodle and a lemon juice soda. It was okay, didn’t really stand out but I definitely didn’t feel too unsatisfied. The lemon juice soda, I need to emphasize something for people wishing to order this: The waiter/​ress will give you the glass and the can about ¹⁄₃ full (their glasses can’t fit the whole soda). Do NOT pour the soda in, just leave it. The soda overpowered the lemon juice taste so much that when I poured the ¹⁄₃ in it tasted nothing like lemon juice at all. It was my mistake, but perhaps more lemon juice is needed, larger glass volume, or just dump the excess soda?
EIther way I don’t see myself coming here often, but if I had friends asking me for a good Vietnamese noodle place in Vaughan, I would tell them to consider here.

This place is my go to phở mi 99 and has not failed me yet. The service was really amazingly fast and the food quality and quantity is simply the reason why I return as a customer. The main order was phở soup, pork chop on rice and my must order on the menu the deep fried squid. Everything wad so well done that we scarfed our food like there is no tomorrow. Seasoned and cooked to perfection, the squid is definitely better than most big chain restaurants. If you are shopping around Vaughn Mills, this place is worth a visit.

Your typical Phở Mi 99. One of my friends who does not like Phở at all, likes to come here and order the sweet and sour deep fried tilapia, which is $ 12.99-$ 14.99 I think. It’s the entire fish, but I find that kind of pricey for tilapia that you can get at a grocery store for 2.99-$ 3.99 per lb or around $ 4-​$ 5 per fish with some weird sweet and sour sauce. The service here is okay (for a Phở place), but it can get noisy, however the good points to this place are:
a) Close to Vaughan Mills
b) They offer cold tea during summer months.
Not a bad choice if you are in Vaughan Mills and probably one of the better choices for a quick meal (better than Vaughan Mills food court)

Decent all-​round Vietnamese restaurant. Service is generally quick (not always the most professional or courteous). And the place is pretty big.
As far as the phở goes, it’s alright. It tastes good and serving sizes are generous. It is very MSG laden though. The MSG thirst kicks in pretty much right after I step out of the restaurant. I have had a variety of other items, including their dinner combos, stir-​fry dishes, rice dishes, and it’s all quite decent. The sinh to is quite alright also.
Overall, pretty standard Viet restaurant that you can’t really go wrong with, but don’t expect to be WOW’d either.

Believe it or not, before visiting this spot in October of last year, I… had…never…ha…Phở!!! GASP!!!
I know, I know, it’s a Unilocal Community Manager staple… go for Phở. But I’d honestly never thought to experiment with this style of cuisine and I honestly judged these places on their appearance. Shame on me. Shame Shame Shame on me!
Since dipping into the Phở end of the pool (get it), I’ve been back numerous times and have come to adore this as my fave cheap comfort food. In fact, I would wary a prediction that I would likely eat this over 2 am drunk Chinese Food, over Poutine, over Pizza (ya I know… this is serious).
I can only equate the feeling of eating Phở @ Phở Mi 99 as the same feeling you get when your mom makes you a grilled cheese and Chicken soup when your home sick from school. You feel full, warm, healthy and totally comfortable — seriously everything is right in the world! Best of all IT’S SO DAMN CHEAP. I have literally asked for the biggest and most expensive bowl of Phở with every kind of meat in the largest size and my total is always less than $ 10!
I’m down for Phở anyday, anytime, just call me, and I’m in there like swimwear!
EatCrest Out!

If you’re having a phở crave after shopping at Vaughn mills, then you’re only moments away.
Solid bowl of phở, and had my bowl to me in about 5 minutes.
Clean, good service, it’s phở’d up.
