Pho Bun Bun — Restaurant in Markham

Solid 4.5 stars.

I think the resto is still relatively (less than 1 year open) fresh/new.

For me, what is really making me and my friends come back often is the pricing. I don't know if it was strategic on their part, but they have effectively undercut some of their biggest viet competitors by $3-4 on a lot of their items which to me makes this resto rank VERY HIGH in terms of value because of their also huge portions.

Admittedly, the taste of their pho broth still doesn't beat Ngon Corner in Richmond Hill for me but they have some items that I can't find on a lot of resto menus.

For example, the signature grilled meat platter is amazing. It says serves 2-4 ppl on the menu and I think that's pretty accurate. My friend and I shared one and we're big eaters so we shared it between the two of us and actually felt full! They also PACK the platter with ingredients and don't skimp on anything which is awesome. You love to see it.

Also, I came with the gf and the curry is quite layered in terms of flavour. But for me, the most underrated item is the tomato beef brisket noodle soup. Damn, that tomato broth SLAPPED. Better broth that a lot of chinese soup noodle places I've been to and the brisket was also very tender.

Even though Ngon Corner is still packing the most flavour in their pho broth, I found myself somehow gravitating to this place with more and more visits because of the sheer value and pricing (I've also told a lot of ppl that they're quite affordable compared to some of the other Viet stalwarts in Markham/RHill). Hopefully this continues and they don't get greedy and decide to...

First off I really wanted to gatekeep this place because it will get super busy when word gets out. But everything is so amazing there that I have to write a review.

Food and price is great!! So worth your money! Good portions and great taste! I've been there twice within 2.5 weeks.

My husband thinks the BBH is one of the best in his recent recollection of all his BBHs. I agree it's pretty decent.

Pho, no complaints! Has good amounts of meat and wasn't tough.

The rice, my son ate up super quickly. He's a slow eater. He ate a lot of spring rolls from the platter.

The best bang for your buck is the platter with rice paper rolls! We had so much left over I could eat it for dinner tomorrow.

Service was amazing, they brought us extra bowls and plates without me even asking. They purposely brought me a jar of tea and water because she knew the kids would not drink the tea. Again I didn't ask, unless they give every table both every time. I don't remember what happened the first time I came.

The place is clean and not cramped up with tables.

One thing however was the iced coffee. The coffee was super hot and when it was poured into the ice, it melted the ice very quickly which resulted in a very diluted coffee. Not a big deal but that was something that we noticed. So maybe ask for not so hot water for the drip.

Please do visit this place! I will if you don't, I have so many other items I...

Did I just find the best Hainan Chicken Rice at a pho restaurant? Yes, I did. This review pertains to a delivery order only.

Few restaurants give off a sincere care and dedication to their food, but this one is an exception. Everything we ordered tasted like there was love put into it.

The Hainan chicken was juicy perfection, the rice was flavourful and portioned appropriately, the papaya salad complemented the meal deliciously and was such a nice, unique touch to the chicken, the soup was full-bodied (a tad on the salty side for my tastebuds), and the ginger and sweet garlic chili sauces were flavour bombs. Overall, the portion was perfect, the pricing is great, and the quality was fantastic. By far the best Hainan chicken rice I've had in a while.

Something also as simple as fresh rolls was done so perfectly with the right amount of mint to the proportionate filling of shredded lettuce and noodles. Seeing as this is a newer restaurant, I hope they don't lose their way over time because they have some great dishes that deserve as much love as they put into them.

This is what genuine care and love for their food tastes like. I can't speak to the restaurant experience, but if food tastes this good through delivery, I have no doubt it'd likely be even better in the restaurant. Solid find and nice addition...
