My friend really likes this place, and goes here quite often. Met up for dinner with her and she picked. Im not usually a fan of Thai food, but I gotta say I was quite impressed. The space is quite large, and there is definitely lots of seating. Does seem to be a bit cramped though, especially if it were busier. We ordered the Spring Rolls, she got a Large Phở, and I got a BBQ Lemongrass Pork Chop and Beef with Rice. The Spring Rolls were really good, and definitely left me wanting more! The rice was quite good, as the pork chop and beef were done quite nicely. I always find that the rice with these meals are always overly plain in comparison to the flavour of the meat. Would be nice to add a little spice to it. Service was quite good, quick on their feet, and very fluent in English(which is always a great plus)! Not necessarily my first choice in cuisine, but wouldn’t mind coming back here!

Decided that mime here me day at lunch since it was 5 minutes from the office and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. My staple is the House Special Beef Phở, it’s the signature dish I try at all new Vietnamese restaurAnts. The key is in the broth. The prices are slightly higher than others but they do fill your bowl with all sorts of goodies AND you even have the choice of dry or fresh noodles!!! I’ve also tried their beef stew noodles and those are good too but the broth is pretty thick, I prefer a thinner broth. Their appetizer sampler is a combo of 5 different dishes, including their amazing mango salad — but it’s quite pricey $ 27! During the weekdays this place is packed from 11am to 3pm but desolate on the weekends since it’s mainly industrial and offices in the area. The only downside is the service, they are very slow with giving you a menu, taking your order and bringing your food. Took almost 10 minutes to get the bill so we walked up to the cash instead and even that didn’t help with speed.

YUM! Tucked into a plaza with little traffic, Phở Pad Thai sure attracts a lot of phở lovers in the area. Not only they are clean, they also provide efficient service which is rare in Asian restaurants. You’ll find all your typical Thai and Vietnamese favorite dishes. All the yummy apps, to phở, stir fries, curry, and noodles. When you’re at phở pad thai, of course you’ll have to try either the Phở or Pad Thai. I went with my usual in every other phở restaurants and got the sate phở … with rare beef on the side. Not only I was pleasantly surpised they gave me a decent amount of protein, their sate soup is not your average phở beef broth base with chilli oil but a savoury soup that taste like it’s been simmered for a long time — I’m blown away!

Of the many places that sell both Phở and Pad Thai in the area, this is neither the best nor the worst. The location is close enough if you live or work in the area off Woodbine, and it always has a nice crowd in there for lunch or for dinner. I’ve had both dishes that form the restaurant’s name, and both are acceptable. The phở is nice, broth is fair. Good share of meat and noodles. The Extra Large is VERY big so ensure you’re very hungry before ordering that. The large is usually okay. Pad thai is done pretty well all of the elements are there and if you’re looking for something cost effective this would be a place to keep in mind.

This is my favourite phở place. The phở is consistently good. The beef brisket curry with roti is awesome. The characteristic wet rag smell found in other phở restaurant was not an issue here. We’ll be back.

Hmm this place is quite the bomb! The phở I find is quite good. Almost as good as my other favorite phở place! I’ve been getting the usual phở with rare beef. Nothing too special since been busy, but hmmm it’s so good! Nice thick noodles and good beef! I will probably try the other rice dishes so give me time and I will tell! The place isn’t too big, but it’s a good size to hold a decent amount of people! The staff is friendly and quite fast or at least been fast for me! The parking lot can be quite packed so be warned!

This is probably my favourite phở place in markham and it’s conveniently located right at the intersection of woodbine and applecreek! The parking is always ample due to the failure of the surrounding stores in the same plaza. I’ve never had trouble finding parking here, only trouble with the annoying and douchey scrubs that frequent master Q next door. This is surprisingly a very popular place during lunch on the weekdays! I come here for my lunch break and apparently so does every single employee from every single company based in markham. People LOVE phở and who can blame them? It’s delicious. The service is quick and the main boss lady gets shit down fast! However, there are some staff that operate on ZERO English and it’s extremely difficult to communicate with her. every time I order from here, I sit there praying that she isn’t the one to take my order down because it wastes so much time– even when I’m only pointing to certain numbers on the menu. What the hell? Anyway, the phở is deeeeelicious! The broth is piping hot and tasty with little trace of MSG. The beef is soft and flavourful– exactly what I look for in a nice rare beef and flank phở soup. The noodles come either thick or thin– I choose thick and it is AMAZING. Texture of the noodles can make a girl fall in love. I always end up coming here whenever my coworkers and I are looking for a yummy place to go for lunch. My coworker also really enjoys the crispy chow mein here and indeed it is delicious. I’ve tried a bit and it was BOMB. Crispy noodles, flavourful beef and chicken. HUGE dish! What more can you ask for? No doubt, I will definitely return here. soon.

I came here with the boyfriend because I was craving for Phở to cure a bad hangover. We decided to try something different from our usual go-to Phở restaurant. We walked in and were seated right away. We were greeted by a nice lady who happened to speak English really well which helped a lot considering the both of us don’t speak a word of Chinese. After looking at the menu, we ended ordering an extra large house special, which we shared. The menu has a wide variety of dishes and the other dish that caught my eye was their Curry(which I would like to come back next time to try). The extra large Phở was very filling and we left us both stuffed by the time we finished the bowl. When it comes to Phở, I’m very particular with the taste of the broth, the texture of the noodles and noodle choice, and the taste of the meats. I was very pleased with all the above and I definitely recommend Phở Pad Thai.

For starters, this place is NOT $$$. $$ is about right for this place, maybe even $. Phở Pad Thai is a Chinese-run Vietnamese restaurant, so let’s drop the authenticity discussion. For my visit, I decided to skip completely on the phở and went straight for the egg/rice noodle soup section, as I guessed I would enjoy my food better there. I had the beef stew with rice noodle soup, and honestly… there’s a fine line between tasty and salty when it comes to your broth. This place crossed the line; I never had that many cups of tea in my life. Good thing I had it for lunch and not dinner, cause otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to sleep. The beef brisket and noodles were good, and for the cost of $ 6.75 it honestly was a «you get what you paid for» scenario. The iced lemon tea was actually quite good, and I was particularly impressed by it, I’ll say that much. Service was… well…standard Asian level. Don’t expect too much from it. And will I be back? Meh. Good cheap, fill you up place, but there’s better places.

Been here a few times before getting on Unilocal.This place hasn’t changed and neither has the people(some). However, prices has steadily been climbing. A S Phở is $ 6.xx, L is $ 7.xx and XL is $ 8.xx. I’d say that’s pretty darn steep for phở because it isn’t mind blowing delicious. Had the pad thai with chicken and a large rare beef/flank brisket phở. They were ok, not the best. I’ve had better pad thai at Thai Basil and Restoran Malaysia and the phở. Tasted better at many places. Ohh well, I was too hungry to give a crap lol

Food not bad but service is horrible. I wanted to use credit card to pay for the bill. At the first place, the waitress seems like doesn’t want me to use credit card. Second, the card machine doesn’t work, tried couple times and it shows connection error on the machine. But the waitress’s attitude really rude. She said something seems like I don’t have any limit in my card to pay for only $ 26. She not even asked me to try another card, just asked me to pay by cash. I definitely will not go back anymore! PS: I can use my credit card without any problem in Walmart right after!!!

Met up with my girlfriend for some birthday phở. The place was not too busy but not empty either. They promptly sat us down with some tea. The waitress knew my girlfriend so well and what she was going to order. We both got the 202 but with thin noodles and the beef cooked well done. It was so delicious! Not a crazy burst of flavor but with the hot sauce it gave it a nice kick. The beef was cooked perfectly with no raw pieces. i never usually finish my phở but this one i did. The noodles weren’t too heavy either. i would definitely come back and try the other options. Not pricy at all either. Definitely a good place for the winter months

Service is like a fast food burger joint. Food came within 5 minutes from ordering. The place was very busy on a Wed afternoon. Beef skewers $ 5.50 — very yummy. Vermicelli with spring roll, shrimp ball and sugar cane $ 9.25 — Nice light meal Red curry with chicken and roti $ 8.50 — The sauce had too much of a ginger flavour and the chicken chunks were not actual chicken cuts but processed chicken. Roti is $ 1 extra and you get two flat breads. I thought everything here was okay. Good for a quick meal but nothing that will WOW you.

I think of the phở places I’ve tried this is actually my preferred soup base. On an objective level they may not be the best soup base, but subjectively I find the flavours here to match my taste the best. Dinner specials are also fantastic! The boyfriend and I got the special with chicken pad thai, beef flank phở, shrimp spring rolls and 2 red bean ice drinks all for well under $ 25 if I recall correctly. Food quality was consistently good among all the dishes, even though I personally didn’t like the shrimp spring roll because I didn’t like the herb in it but the bf thought it was good. Keep in mind that dinner specials(and presumably lunch specials as well) are cash only! The waitress was nice enough to let me use debit instead though. We also came back for a phở craving and I ordered and finished a large beef flank phở. They were not at all stingy with the flank! Extremely generous portions of nice fatty flank came with my phở and I loved every bit of it. Also having tried both the thick and thin noodles, I personally think that the thick ones are better! Also servers here are fairly good at English which also put me at ease since my chinese is fairly«meh». All in all, this will probably be my go to phở place for any cravings in the future. OH and also they’re pad thai. That was really good too. I guess Phở Pad Thai is a very appropriate name for this restaurant.

I’ve been coming here for many years, back before when it was Woodstone. This restaurant continues to be a master of efficiency. During lunch it is always packed, but they greet you right away and seat you immediately. Tea is brought to the table within a minute of arrival. Regardless of how busy it is, your order will be there within 10 minutes of ordering, often in 5 minutes. It makes for a guaranteed quick sit down lunch. The menu is a mix of Vietnamese and Thai. None of the dishes are exceptional but they are all good, always fresh and hot. I usually order either the Phở, for which there is a large selection of options, or the red curry chicken. I get the roti instead of rice which is a welcome treat.

The phở here is pretty good. This is what I usually order. I ordered spring rolls once and it was far too greasy. My husband ordered a Vietnamese vermicelli dish but it tasted more like a thai dish. However I assume the name of the place would indicate that it’s a fusion between Vietnamese cuisine and thai cuisine. Good place for a quick and cheap meal :)

I ordered my usual House Special Phở at Phở Pad Thai. Good that there is a choice of fresh or dried noodle. The broth itself is quite flavoured with a great aroma of star anise and the portion is quite decent. Service is fast and friendly. Though no lunch special available but the price is reasonable with a small phở at $ 6.50. Phở Pad Thai might not be my usual phở joint, but it is clean and spacious so I definitely would be coming back here again.
