Pho Mi 89

I have been here several times over the past 4 years and have always received great service and fresh food here. O. K, lets be honest here, Phở is something that is not hard to screw-​up. It’s harder to find quality Phở restaurants outside of downtown Toronto and Markham, but I am giving this place 4 stars based on quality of food, service and pricing. I recently tried their Tom Yum beef soup and it had a generous portion of beef in it. Tip… if you are coming here on a weekend, try and get there just around noon, as this place is very busy between 1pm and 3pm.
My favourites here also include the «House Phở Special» and the vegetarian non fried spring rolls. $ 20 will cover a meal for 2 here with a main dish, non alcoholic beverages, taxes and tip. My new favourite Phở place in Mississauga!

Great prices, delicious food. I normally get their Phở (211 I think), but I’ve tried some of their other stuff and it’s good too. The service is good, but don’t go in expecting a waiter like other sit down places. They’re really good with substitutions, too.

Great food, nice owner. Would definitely recommend anyone to come eat here. The Vietnamese sweet and sour soup was really good.

#505 all day everyday! The food is prepared and served quickly. The pricing is reasonable.

I absolutely have a soft spot for phở places. This place did not disappoint me. We came in around 9:15pm on a Sunday and it was quite empty. They automatically brought us tea to drink. After we wrote down what we wanted they did not take long at all to being us our food! I got a small special phở and it was a decent size for the price. It was piping hot! Extremely tasted and flavourful.
I will be returning here if I am ever in the Meadowvale Town Centre area in Mississauga.

They are fast and food and drinks are solid. I haven’t tried their phở though but the shakes and the rice dishes (pork chops, chicken) are crave-​worthy

Great customer service but unfortunately the food was not the best. Had some phở, green curry and stir fry. All of which were below what I have come to expect of phở restaurant in Mississauga, Hamilton and Toronto. For the quality of product and portions I found that it was expensive.

Decent Phở but being Vietnamese, nothing will ever beat Moms homemade Phở. Not a fan of their fried rice, although my son enjoyed it very much, so I can’t complain. Ordered the Spicy Thai Hot Pot (Lau Thai Lan) and their broth was basically sour soup (Canh Chua) broth with Sate sauce. It wasnt spicy at all. I was stoked when they brought out the plate of raw seafood and meat, but was deceived as it did not fill the three of us at all. Comparing it to the many places I’ve tried before, there was not much seafood and meat options, and the broth sucked. I would not order again, as I was still hungry after. One meal I did enjoy here, was their Bun bo Hue. Good service, fast, and cheap. I have gone back several times before, whilst in the area ofc. My mom likes their Pad Thai, so I will have to come back again to try.

Love this place! Go to it all the time. The food is great and definitely affordable for a student like me. $ 4 bucks, and you and your friend can share a big phở bowl!
However, one thing i do not like is that when I ask the old guy for like 4 bowls, (how are we supposed to eat 2 big phos alone) he ends up giving us like two. But rather than that the service is great.
Overall delicious and affordable restaurant.

To start off, I have never been at a PHO‘s before, but I have had pad thai so I figure I got the basics down.
As soon as I walked in with a friend, we‘re greeted by an employee who stares at you and puts up his fingers with how many people he thinks are in your party. I put 2 fingers up and he pointed at where we should park ourselves. So far, so good. Many times employees don‘t even acknowledge you‘ve been waiting to order for 20 minutes, and here, they notice you as soon as you open the door. Brilliant.
So then we get the menus and start looking through it. Now, I used to watch a lot of that show “Restaurant makeover^‘- you know the one where they tear down the restaurant and change the entire menu. Well, one of their rules is to keep the menu to one page. Phở has at least 8 pages. I‘m not complaining since I love options, but when you‘ve only ever tried Pad Thai, it can be overwhelming. After searching for a bit, I found the Pad Thai on page 6 — success .Now to order.
We sat there, looking around in patience, seeing how the employees were walking back and forth being busy so since neither of us want to be rude and put our hands up, we simply waited until someone was ready to come to us. Luckily, this guy sitting next to us (who kept staring, putting me on edge and making me want to tell off soon) nicely told us that we had to fill out our order on the sheet of paper on the table and hand it in. So I guess they werent for coloring on after all…
We then get out food. I ordered the Pad Thai and calamari in curry, and my friend ordered some beef noodle thing and frog legs. The Pad Thai was amazing — probably the best I ever had. The calamari, not so much. I love calamari, but I figured the dish would be fried calamari with curry dip. To be fair, the menu didn’t say anything about anything being fried, nor the curry being a dip, so that was my bad. I didn‘t like it–
Frog is something I‘ve never had before, nor is something on my bucket list, but I figured id try it out. Many people say strange meat usually tastes like chicken, and this was no different. It was actually really good. I didnt expect that much meat on a frog leg but these had quite a bit. I wondered if it may have been a toad as I ate, but thought I should stop thinking about it before I weird myself out.
Overall — the food was great — the employees and customer service were very good, and the prices were decent as well. I‘d definitively come back

I organized a team lunch for some yummy Phở eats. Phở Mi 89 came up on one of the places to check out because of its quick service and ample seating. My colleagues and I ventured over and the location was indeed huge and busy for a Wednesday lunch time crowd.
Service was great, we got our food soon after we placed out order. Unfortunately, my vermicelli dish was a bit dry; I have had better at other places. Thought, my peers liked the Phở.
I might come back to try other items on their menu.

There’s nothing especially spectacular about this place, but there’s really nothing terrible about it either. The food for the most part is delicious and consistent. The staff sometimes seem to be a little short with us, but it may simply be because of a slight language barrier. In any case, I certainly enjoy coming here.

I miss eating good phở. I haven’t found a good phở restaurant in the GTA. The Phở Mi chains are mediocre at best. I have tried a number of their dishes. The best so far is the beef stew (#227), which is essentially large chunks of tender beef with phở noodles in a reddish broth. You also can’t go wrong with their traditional phở dishes. I have also tried their seafood in a nest. The picture in the menu is misleading because it shows noodles. I was tricked into buying this on two separate occasions because of the photo. My suggestion is to avoid the seafood. Some of the squid smelled funky. Their fried rice is too dry and too pricey for what you get.
Update:
Their fried rice with «curry» isn’t curry sauce. It’s curry seasoning. I was unhappy about it. One dish that I did like was their rice with grilled chicken and fried egg. I was hoping for an over-​easy egg, but it was sunny-​side up.

This is a run of the mill Vietnamese restaurant. The food is quick and simple but it is really stingy on anything of substance. The soup noodle dishes are medicore but it’s mostly filled with cheap rice noodle with really tiny piece of beef. The vegetarian noodle soup has maybe 2 sprigs of brocolli and 3 slivers of tofu. Is it worth the $ 7 per bowl? Nope! The service is cold and forgetful. I don’t recommend it.

Phở me once, phở me twice…
Went here twice out of necessity because of phở lightning speed and proximity to some of our prenatal classes. First time wasn’t good, we chalked it up to a bad night, however tonight we were running late so we tried it again.
The phở itself was alright, piping hot, good meat to noodle ratio, but the fresh roll skins were very tough, the fried spring rolls were nearly burnt and the final kick in the pants, the bean sprouts were brown with that long dying stringy bit at the ends.
Maybe a grilled meat plate or bun would have been a better choice. I prefer Phở mi 99, or Cow head (not sure of the real name!).
Phở’d me twice… sigh.

Today was my first time visiting Phở Mi 89 and I’m surprised I have not heard of this place before and I am Vietnamese! This restaurant has a very similar name to Phở Mi 99 and the menu and pricing is the same.
I generally order rice with the grilled porkchop and chicken every time I eat at a Vietnamese restaurant. I was excited to try this dish here to compare to the other places I’ve been to. The porkchop tasted good… it tastes pretty much the same as the other restaurants. However, I was disappointed with the grilled chicken. It was slightly dry and wasn’t marinated well compared to Phở Mi 99 or Phở Dau Bo. I also had the spring rolls there and it was good… but not as good as Phở Mi 99.
Overall, I would recommend for you to eat here if you were in the area and were looking for Vietnamese food. However, if you were near a Phở Mi 99, I would definitely suggest that one over Phở Mi 89. Haha! I am not hating on Phở Mi 89… I just love Phở Mi 99 (especially the one on Latimer Drive).

Phở mi phở you!
My favourite phở chain in the mississauga area, but this one in particular is my favourite one!
The moment you walk in this place is huge! This is one of the biggest if not thee biggest viet restaurant that I have ever been to. It has a very nice décor at the front and everything is nice and simple and very clean.
One big reason that this is my favourite phở mi, it’s the people that work there. All the employees there are great, they are very friendly and easy to talk to. There are two employees there that will always have me coming back; the one being the big boss, or the asian super mario as my one friend would say, is really friendly he makes really great suggestions when you have no idea what to eat. As well, when it’s not busy he will come and sit at my table and talk to me and my friends for a while. The 2^nd guy, is a younger guy, very friendly as well and he likes to tell jokes.
On to the food, most people who come to this place its all about the vietnamese soup or phở. This is the biggest reason why most people come here, but if you don’t want soup, the great thing about here is that there are so many options; from vietnamese, chinese, and thai food.
One lil thing that I’ve noticed with the phở soup, is that the small and medium size soups are not that much different. The only difference I see is that the medium soup has more broth but the same amount of ingredients as the small. Am i right? Let me know…
Items to definitely get
— fresh shrimp roll (12)
— seafood soup (113)
— phở house special (201)
— vermicelli w/​grilled chicken and pork (423)
— grilled chicken and pork on rice (506)
— satay beef on rice (513)
Yes, I know the number items on the menu. Kinda tells you how often I go here. :-p

Similar to my last review, Phở Mi 89 has stared at me many a night over the years. For whatever reason, I never ventured in. I think it had more to do with my need to be somewhere else than my desire for soup but who knows.
Phở Mi 89 is deceptively large. From the outside you would think that it was a decent sized restaurant but then you enter an ice rink sized room with tables and chairs everywhere. I have never had to wait for a seat even when it’s packed to the gills because there always seems to be one more table hiding in the back.
They serve a mixture of Vietnamese and Chinese dishes ranging from noodles and phở to tripe to condensed milk shakes. The portions are large and well worth the money. Their large menu has something for everyone as I’ve taken omnivores, vegans and folks that just won’t eat anything that doesn’t involve steak in some way.
I would dare say that it was the first «authentic» place of it’s kind that I’ve been too in Mississauga. If I wasn’t looking out the large front windows I would swear I was in an out of the way, off a side street place in Toronto. The only «competition» in the area are places that sell french fries as a side to their broccoli and fried rice or General Tao’s chicken. Extra MSG.
Phở Mi 89 is one of the few reasons I like eating in Mississauga.
