    My boyfriend and I come here at least a couple times a month. We always get the rare beef pho (the beef cooks in the hot broth quickly). It's a great place to get in, eat, and get out in under 30 minutes. The service is FAST for pho. I'm talking under 5 minutes from the time they take your order to the time your food is in front of you.

    The pho is one of the best I've had, which is saying a lot since I've eaten pho at many places. Again, I recommend the rare beef pho.

    The service is okay. They're by no means attentive, but they're speedy and polite, which is all I ask for from a restaurant where I go in for the food and not the experience

    Great place in general

    I haven't been to many Vietnamese restaurants in he GTA. Admittedly, I've only been to Pho Mi 99 in Vaughan and the one in Mississauga. The service here is okay. It always takes forever to get a glass of water. As someone else mentioned here, they give you more noodles than meat which is a little disappointing. But the food is good and the pho broth is tasty.

    Food is okay.  As with most cheaper pho places located in "white" areas in the GTA it's not the greatest quality.  But i'd come back if we were in the area with no other choice to eat on a time constraint.

    I feel like I never learn my lesson. I went to the Mississauga Pho Mi 99, and figured that the Vaughan location would have a different chef and a different experience. Boy, was I wrong.

    Although this location was slightly better than its counterpart in Mississauga, they are still very unsatisfactory.

    I tried the large bowl of pho again, and once again, I was very disappointed. The first sign of trouble came when they brought out the lime and beansprouts. The lime was cut very small, and it was dry. I could not squeeze any juices out of it. Next came my large bowl of pho. I thought it was deja vu. I saw a lot of broth, a bit of rice noodles, and barely any meat. I rationed my meat throughout the meal to try finish everything, but by the time I finished the meat, there was still plenty of noodles and broth left. That is very unsatisfying when considering I rationed and took in smaller portions of meat in each bite to accommodate. And the broth? Although slightly better than Mississauga Pho Mi 99, slightly better than water is still very lacking in flavor. Pho broth should be flavorful, not taste like water.

    My friends tried the rice dishes this time, and they said it was average at best (meaning, it was not very good). Yes, this place is clean and nice looking, but no, good decoration does not equate to good food.

    Came here with my cousins and they had the pho. Good pho. I wanted something i never had before because im from seattle (pho central) so i ordered the Mi Quang. it was actually pretty decent i enjoyed it very much. The broth could use a little less msg but im sure people dont mind. It tasted good. The rice crackers that came with it were great! They were the thicker ones so they didnt get soggy too fast and stayed crunchy. Love it. Didn't get a chance to try the spring rolls, they did not look too appetizing because i could tell they werent freshly wrapped. The rice paper looked dried out and thick. oh well, the soups were good.

    Since my first review I have since experienced much more Pho soup, and have gone to various different places all around the GTA, I must say this place is my favourite.
    I go back all the time and I have yet to find better spring rolls than these! Amazing!

    We hit this place at about 9:30pm on a Tuesday. The hours say they close at 10pm. However, there were still customers filing in. We ordered the 99 special noodles, grilled pork and chicken rice, and deep fried butter frog legs. All the dishes were great. The frog legs were a bit bland. Service was awesome. Total was about $25. Would definitely go back again.

    This is the place where I take my co-workers to test their 'Chop' Stick-handling skills.  I have been to this Vietnamese restaurant since they opened near Vaughan Mills and I am so glad because they offer great value for a good product.

    I would even go in on my own sometimes for lunch, and it is the lunch rush they usually have as I have been there for dinner once and they only had a couple tables filled.  I typically order a medium-size PHO and they would offer hot tea or cold tea depending on request or season.

    When I submit my order on the order-form, they would be back with a dish of the typical Bean Sprout/Lime/Herb.  Another few minutes pass and they would bring my Pho out steaming hot and I have never had any complains as they have been consistent through-out the years.  I've been there since they had the old menu, but now they have a pretty & laminated menu.

    The best part is I can GULP the Pho down, go up to pay my $7.00 and leave in under 20 min and be in time to go back to work while other restaurants take anywhere from 45 to 90 min to complete.

    FYI, it is known that a few of my co-workers/friends cannot finish a medium Pho while I have NEVER ever left my Pho behind.  I would go back to work feeling signs of ITIS and on days when someone gets a large I can not will not back down!  Me Man!

    My new favorite for Vietnamese when overnighting in Toronto. Clean, prompt excellent service and fresh plentiful tasty food.

    Tea showed up instantly and I was asked if I preferred cold to the hot he brought. Got my usual beef vermicelli (got wild and crazy and got the satay beef) and what I thought was a basic pork salad roll. Asked to confirm and (as usual when I come here) the waiter told me 'no no' and explained I was ordering something with pork skin. Phew saved once again by the keen gentleman.

    The order showed up very very fast and as usual a wide variety of sauces are set out on every table. I frequently complain about the lack of fresh veggies in other vermicellis, but here at Pho Mi 99, there are a ton of veg, very fresh. 7$ for the vermicelli and $4 for 2 large salad rolls.

    I often drive from the 401, all the way up the 400 just to come here... if that's any indication how excellent it is.
