Linh Anh Vietnamese Cuisine Unionville — Restaurant in Markham

I've been anticipating the opening of this location since this past winter & am so glad it finally did! My hubby and I went yesterday right after I finished work. It was around 5:15 p.m. on a Monday so we had plenty of tables to choose from.

My hubby ordered the Bo Bit Tet w/eggs which is essentially steak (Vietnamese style) and eggs in a sizzling cast iron pan that comes with pate & a Vietnamese baguette. The steak & eggs was delicious! He said that he didn't really care for the pate & the baguette was over toasted so the entire thing was hard/crunchy. Also, the pan isn't sizzling which is a good thing so the steak doesn't get overcooked.

I tried something new and got their Vietnamese red noodle soup with crab meat. It also comes with shrimp, fish cakes, grilled beef wrapped in betel leaves (so good!), sausage (this was missing!), tomato, crispy fried shallots with red thick wide noodles. I really enjoyed this noodle soup! There is such a rich depth of flavor in the broth and all the ingredients tasted fresh. I would definitely get this again after trying a bunch of different dishes on their menu.

I love that they have items on the menu that you don't usually see at other Pho restaurants.

The ambiance here is very nice! Very spacious, high ceilings and beautifully decorated.

I deducted a star off my rating solely due to the fact that I asked a female waitstaff for the bill & she just walks away. We sat there waiting for it to come. After sometime, we looked around & a gentleman came over and asked if we needed something. I told him that we asked for the bill & he told us that we have to go to the front counter to pay. Would of been nice if she told us that!

Overall, I'm happy that this place has good food & is pretty close to home so will definitely...

Went with a party of 6 on a Saturday evening for dinner.

Interior design is absolutely gorgeous and a great place for couples to go.

Food was all delicious and fresh, though the noodle portions in the soup noodles was really disappointing.

Ordered S01, S02, Pho Dac Biet, steamed rice rolls with pork and black fungus, spring rolls, chicken pho, and beef salad.

I would recommend the rice rolls, spring rolls, chicken pho and beef salad.

Chicken pho had a rich chicken flavour with generous amount of both dark and white meat. However, due to the small noodle portion, this would be blessing almost became a curse because there was almost too much chicken?

The beef salad was a different story. This had tender beef shreds mixed in finely chopped cabbage, carrots and other veggies mixed with a fresh and slightly sweet fish sauce-based dressing. Broke the shrimp chips into little pieces and it was an amazing mix of different textures and flavours. Portion size was huge - definitely good bang for your buck here.

The most disappointing aspect of our experience was probably the service. While they were responsive to being called over, the young gentlemen were inattentive to how they brought the dishes to the table as they came.

Specifically, there was one occasion where our server thought it a good idea to squeeze in between our elderly family members when placing down a hot bowl of pho. It was particularly shocking because he gave no notice or warning before hand and neglected to take a fed extra steps to place the bowl down in an area I had been specifically clearing up for him. This could’ve ended up really badly - I hope the staff are trained a little bit more in exercising a little more caution and communicating...

A Flavourful Journey to Vietnam

If you’re craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine that delivers both comfort and complexity, Pho Linh Ann is a gem worth visiting. From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed with the warm aroma of simmering broth, fresh herbs, and grilled meats that hint at the rich culinary experience ahead.

The star of the show is undoubtedly their pho – a deeply flavorful, slow-cooked broth that’s both aromatic and soothing. I tried the traditional Pho Tai (rare beef noodle soup), and it arrived piping hot with generous slices of tender beef, perfectly al dente rice noodles, and a fresh plate of bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime, and jalapeños. The broth had a beautiful balance – not too salty, subtly spiced, and brimming with umami.

We also tried the banh xeo (Vietnamese crispy pancake), which was golden and lacy, filled with shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts, and served with a mountain of greens and herbs for wrapping. Paired with the house-made dipping sauce, it was a standout dish.

Service was friendly and fast, and the ambiance was casual but cozy – perfect for a relaxed dinner or quick lunch. The menu offers a wide range of traditional dishes, including bun cuon, com tam, and goi cuon (fresh spring rolls), making it a great place for both newcomers to Vietnamese cuisine and long-time fans.

Overall, Pho Linh Ann offers an honest, flavorful taste of Vietnam with prices that won’t hurt your wallet. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Vietnamese food in a welcoming...
