I always love going to Pho because it's fast, cheap, and relatively satisfying. I think because of that, I don't have too high an expectation for the restaurant surroundings or service (unless it's beyond terrible of course..). Pho Mi was exactly the restaurant that fills this situation. The restaurant is by no means fancy, it's kind of dark inside, the food presentation isn't the best, and the server doesn't really do much.....BUT, the food is alright, and is quite affordable.
I ordered a large "special" pho that came with all the typical ingredients that you'd expect: beef balls, tripe, tendon, flank, beef, etc. I have to admit, the pho here was really good. They used authentic pho noodles that were cooked just right, and the beef was a really good cut of meat. Of course the soup was basically all MSG, but I found it wasn't as bad as a lot of other pho places. The portions was also huge! The bowl was actually bigger than my head.
I wouldn't seek this place out, but at least I wouldn't refuse to come back. If I was ever in the area I suppose. -

AIYA.......Where do I begin!!!!
It seems like the staff enjoys to chit chat amongs each other about their life instead of focusing on their customers.
WARNING.....If you never had Vietnamese food before, please do not go to PMVT, as it will leave a bad impression of Vietnamese food.
PMVT can't even get the basic cooking techniques for Vietnamese food.
Basic Rule of Thumb
1. Rice Noodles - Rinse noodles in cold water after boiling to stop the cooking process and to rinse the powder off the noodles.
2. Spring Rolls - Add ingredients that absorbs liquid such as starch or bread crumbs, etc.

Many years ago this was our Go-To place for a steaming bowl of PHO, before the days of Vaughan Mills and the development that grew around it.
It was a POPULAR lunch spot as it had a bit of a monopoly as the only Viet/Thai place around. In comparison to the newer spots in the area, I enjoy the various Beef toppings but the noodle can be SOFT at times.
It has a bit of a special LAY-OUT as it sits on a corner spot of the plaza. Inside, the back corners are DARK booths while the center has larger round tables for groups. Surrounding the CENTER COURT is a large "C" one step up that gives it a different landscape as it has railings separating it, a terrace feel?
The UPPER DECK as I call it is nice and bright as there is surrounding windows where you can look out to the plaza and street but at the same time a large TREE gives some shade.
I find that you can actually enjoy a NICE chat as I've done before. It doesn't ECHO sounds like other larger Pho places and that I've noticed there's less KIDS as well.Listed in: Va Va Viet, Pull My Noodles - Southeast…

Place looks average, not too clean, but half decent. Absolutely aweful service! Dropped in when they aren't really busy but still waited 10 minutes with menu closed to have somebody walk up and ask 'hot or cold tea?' Few minutes later a kid with pants halfway down his ass literally dropped a cup and kettle on the table and stalked off. Just for service alone was considering walking out but was pretty hungry and in the mood for some pho.
Got the medium Pho Tai Chin, arrived about 10 minutes later, it's pretty huge and looks decent. That's as far as the compliments go, the broth is bland, noodles even more so and the quality of the beef is mediocre.
Will not be coming back here.
