Pho Mi 99

Good tasting phở. This is what you’d expect of phở from viet restaurant. I got the Medium which was the size of a large, so definitely recommend ordering Small if you want a medium size. Service is average. Food was served quickly, within 3 mins. Great price too, $ 8 for the medium size. I would come back again :)
Updated: I got the small bowl for phở, which is much better quantity for one individual. About $ 6, great price. I would say the quality is average… The slices of beef was thinly sliced and delicious, but I found most of them had too much fat with it. They quickly serve the food within 5 minutes from placing the order. The bean sprouts this time that comes with the phở wasn’t as fresh as it should be. By the way, debit and credit cards are only accepted for purchases more than $ 10. The service is very basic, they take your order and serve you food, then you pay at the counter. I saw one staff dry the utensils on one of the tables
— which was pretty loud and clearly interrupted conversations at close by tables. It’s ok though, I’m still happy to go there for a decent $ 6 bowl of phở :)

Food: the food has always been consistent for me. I’ve been coming here for years to enjoy a lunch with a colleague or maybe a Sunday brunch with the family. Food is always tasteful, fast and delicious.
Environment: it’s a fast pace, sit down eat and go. The location has minor renovations, some of the chairs can be replaced… But hey I’m here for the food not for the furniture.
Staff: fast pace, lil or no English but it’s not a problem, they’re very friendly and smiling all the time.
Parking: it’s in a plaza, very open a lot of selections
I’ll be back!

FOOD: wide variety of selection of Thai and Vietnamese food. Food is tasty and delicious!
AMBIANCE: simple restaurant. No funfair
or attempt to impress. They have TV sets and a huge beautiful well kept aquarium. The place is neat and clean!
SERVICE: Excellent, efficient and very friendly service staff. They also know their food what you ask them specific questions.
PRICE: very reasonable and with generous food serving.
LOCATION: convenient and accessible
PARKING: Huge plaza parking lot available.

While this is a convenient location (right by Square One), the quality of the food isn’t great. The broth and noodles are quite good (food comes out piping hot, there’s a good portion of noodle for the size that you order), I find that the meat slices are too grisly and contains too many inedible pieces. I usually get the #201 special and it has everything: beef slices, tendons, meat balls and tripe. The décor is fresh with big screen TVs and the restaurant is spacious. However, next time I’ll probably go back to I Love Phở which is just a few minutes down the street from this Phở restaurant.

It’s quick and decent. It’s relatively cheap too. Service is average but no biggie for me at a phở joint!

This place is awesome!
Phở Mi 99 is clean, well kept and the staff are nice and friendly.
The FOOD was amazing. Was quick to be made and tastes delicious. Super fresh and full of flavour!
I also asked for a little bit of extra veggies in my phở, and I got so much extra in there! Was very generous amount of extra veggies!
This place definitely deserves a 5 out of 5 stars.
I will definitely be coming back.

Always enjoy going here for lunch especially when its cold outside. Ordered their #219 medium and it always fills me up. No complaints here!

I’ve been to this location many many times. The Phở is amazing, broth is deep, the quantity of beef and noodles is beyond filling. I can barely finish a medium bowl. The service is wickedly fast. By the time the menus are taken away your food arrives. I’ve also have had the shrimp spring rolls and BBQ Chicken on rice a few times too. Both take out and order in. Each time the quality and portions are amazing … Plus the value is incredible. So far this is my GOTO Phở place !!

One of my favorite Phở places in the city. The food is absolutely yuuummy, and they come out of the kitchen VERY fast! It’s quite a casual place where you seat yourself and write down your order on a slip of paper, which I personally enjoy. We live very close by so it’s become a go-​to quick restaurant for my family, and even though we pretty much order the same stuff every time, I am very happy with the large variety of food!
Décor wise, its pretty standard, but it is very clean!

So don’t go in expecting any sort of service here. We went in for dinner. It was 7 of us. We were only given two menus. After we asked someone to take order, I asked for water. The waiter came back with three glasses for a table of seven. I had to ask again. Then I asked for plates twice. The food was also just ehh! Not going to try this place again.

I’ve been to a lot of Phở places in my life, and even other Phở Mi 99 locations, and this one just doesn’t compare.
Dropped by on a Sunday at 1PM for lunch. The place was packed, but we were lucky enough to be seated immediately. A few groups coming after us had to wait for a little bit, but nothing outrageous. The menu is massive, a la typical Viet-​restaurant style. It was a bit difficult flagging down a waiter to give our food order to.
My companions opted for some phở while I ordered a stir-​fried noodle along with a soursop shake. The phở arrived quickly in typical fashion, while I had to wait a bit longer for my order. The soursop shake took forever to arrive, about halfway through my food. I understand that sometimes these places intentionally try to get your food order to you before the drink, but that should only be the case because the food is arriving THAT quickly. In this case, it seemed like they were stalling the drink just to accomplish that. Weird.
My stir-​fried dish was slightly on the bland side — very uninteresting. Edible but not particularly enjoyable. I’ve had much better from other Vietnamese restaurants. As for the phở, the broth was simply salty and devoid of any real beef flavour. Just a touch better than a MSG + water mixture. Disappointing, because I have been to two 99 locations that have both done much better. As for the sour sop shake, it was pretty standard, a touch on the sweeter side. Consistency was good though.
And then it took us awhile to flag someone to get the bill. The waiters don’t do a very good job of making themselves accessible.
Overall food and service were the same — meh.

Was in the mood for some phở and this place had good rating from fellow Unilocalers so I decided to try it out.
The décor was pretty standard but the place was clean and roomy. Despite other comments about the cleanliness of this location, I found it to be pretty clean and I am very fussy about hygiene.
The phở was nice and hot, the broth was not the best tasting I’ve ever had but the chef had clearly restricted the use of Msg so I am not complaining about the taste.
The quantity in bowl was adequate but there was hardly any meat. The other phở joints that frequently visit have a mouthful of meat in every spoonful. In contrast, this place had around 20% of the meat serving I am used to.
All in all, a pleasant experience with prompt and courteous service. I would not hesitate awarding tjem a 5 star rating if they increase the meat portions in their phở.

I think they renovated and closed for some time (?) but after they came back the food is not as good as it was before. Disappointed…

I have mostly great things to say about this place
Hence why the 4 stars .i come here often with a buddy for lunch and we always have great food, and I’ve never been disappointed. I’ve had one issue with not being impressed with the way the waiter cleaned the table in regards to sanitation. BUT I let it pass as I don’t wanna give a bad review yet and give them another chance. You can’t bash a whole company for one man’s mistake right !!! Or …
Anyways if I see it happen again I’ll let you all know .
But for now… The food is great they have a large menu with tons of choices. And they have fantastic spring rolls !

Good phở, low price!
It’s a self serve seating, and you select and write down what you want. The waiter than collects your order and literally no more than 5 – 10 mins later — you get served! Fast service :)

2.5* Not my fav phở, but hey, it’s in my ‘hood!
(Stopped by here while my usual place, Golden Turtle (Rua Vang), is moving. The new location will be at the T&T plaza!)
Ordered a small phở ($ 6) and the broth wasn’t very complex or flavourful tasting. Just okay, slightly on the oily side. Small at any place usually has a good amount of noodles, but this one was more soup than noodles.
After not visiting here for a few years, I didn’t have a ‘real’ impression of this place on this most recent visit.

Ughh. I hate to lower my review but the last few times have been weird. While they’ve renovated, I feel like they have no respect for basic restaurant etiquette.
1^st time: While a server was giving me a tea cup, they coughed into the tea cup (there was still some distance, but it was weird). Didn’t even turn his head.
2^nd time: I saw the owner carrying out my phở bowl but right above it was someone bill’s on a tray. Not the biggest deal, but what if there was dust on the bottom of the tray? It could have went into my soup.
Verdict: Probably not visiting this 99 anymore. I feel like they spent too much time and focus on renovations and not basic restaurant etiquette

I like Phở and I really enjoy Vietnamese food. So here we are on a Tuesday night at Phở Mi. It’s situated in a great plaza with a choice of middle eastern, sushi, or Vietnamese. How could you go wrong?
Ordered #211, and shrimp and veggies on rice noodles as well as fresh shrimp rolls. Shrimp rolls were made fresh to order and exactly what I expected. Phở here is always good. Broth looks and tastes like it took hours to make as you can see the delicious mini pools of beef fat. Seafood noodles were a generous mound of veggies and small shrimp on noodles. Could have used more noodles but other than that it was good.
Service is friendly. Definitely coming back!

My family and I were planning to eat at Golden Turtle but they have closed down until November. Phở Mi 99 was the next closest phở restaurant so we decided to have lunch here instead. It has been years since I’ve been back that they’ve renovated the entire restaurant. It now has a more modern look to it than the last time I visited.
It was quite busy during lunch time but we were seated immediately. ²⁄₃ orders came out first and it seemed like they forgot about my sister. So we had to wave down a server to ask about her phở. At last we all got our food and had lunch! My sister and I both agreed the phở tasted better than the Phở Mi 99 in Heartland. The broth was delicious and we both loved the beef balls! My mom’s seafood vermicelli was lacking vermicelli and she said it was alright.
Overall, we were satisfied with our experience at 99 when Golden Turtle was unavailable to serve us some phở.

Every year I come back to this location and its always a disappointment .
In the past I have found a hair on a spring roll, little meat in there phở compared to their other location. This time I ordered a beef stew it had a lot of nerves and very little meat. Noodles were overcooked .
They even forgot to give me the free tea.
Also ordered a crispy spring roll and that was great.
I will take a little extra time and keep going to their other location on Latimer.
Will never come back here.
