Pho Mi T&T

I do not tend to pick Phở places but when friends want to go to one I am always up for a new experience. I went here with a couple of my closest friends
Atmosphere– It is in a strip mall and very sparsely decorated with plain tables and chairs. Nothing screaming to come in and try this place that is for sure. If it was not for my frien, s suggestions I would have opened the door and walked straight out before sitting down. I know about judging the book thing but atmosphere plays a big role in the whole dining experience.
Food– We started with the complimentary asian tea– I am not a huge fan of this tea but my friends liked it. Instead of the phở we decided on the dinner for 4. It included shrimp rolls– they came sizzling hot and were very good. Next came Tom Tom soup– spicy but very tasty with a lot of shrimp in it. i especially liked the pineapple to offset the heat. we then had pad thai– it was not the best or even one of the best pad thai dishes I had ever had. I would give it a Meh! rating. A vegetable and shrimp dish also was part of this feature — A lot of shrimp but not a lot of flavour. There was also a beef dish that took the prize for flavour among these dishes. It was delicious. Next time I would order just that dish with rice and maybe another appetizer to try. Rice was perfectly cooked to accompany the meal.
Service– The man serving us was pleasant fast and efficient but could not understand English very well. One of my friends has a ginger allergy and we wanted to make sure there was no ginger in our dishes. Even after bringing out the cook to translate what we were asking I still felt the message may not have gotten across. It is a good thing my friends allergy is for stomach indigestion and not one requiring epinephrine or I may not have continued the meal.
Impression– I would go back here for that amazing beef dish but not for the pad thai at all. Maybe next time I will actually try the phở

Best Phở in Burlington — not that there are many options! Lol
But the food is good and the place is clean also the staff are really nice esp the Male owner.

I’m basing this review solely on take-​out.
The food quality was above average & definitely better than Saigon down the street.
The phở didn’t need any extra flavouring, except your usual hot sauce. It was a decent price match with a good balance between noodles and beef.
I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town and feeling phở.

We eat at Vietnamese restaurants pretty much every weekend morning and have done for about 15 – 20 years, so we know our Viet. food :)
This was our first time visiting this particular restaurant and at first glance, it seemed fairly bright and clean.
There was no-​one in the restaurant when we arrived, which usually isn’t a good sign, but we decided to try it anyway.
The waitress seemed a little put out to have customers to see to. She didn’t smile (not once while we were there) and although she wasn’t at all rude, she certainly wasn’t welcoming.
We both ordered phở. Mine was with flank and beef balls and my husband’s was with flank and tendon.
The food arrived fairly quickly and then the waitress disappeared. My husband realised right away that his phở didn’t have any tendon in it. We waited at least ten minutes until she appeared again to drop something off at another table (there were 2 other people in the restaurant by then). We mentioned that there was no tendon and she said «oh, there’s no tendon in there?» and walked away. She returned quite promptly with a bowl with 3 small pieces of tendon and said «there you go». There was never a «sorry about that» or any kind of apology.
The phở was fairly tasty and the flank was well-​cooked. My husband said some of the tendon was tender, but one piece was a little undercooked and chewy.
The prices were very reasonable and the food wasn’t too bad. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this place because of the service and the mistake in the dish, but I also wouldn’t warn anyone against it as it was okay.
