seasonings: sliced spring onion, bean sprouts, beef paste/gia (for extra kick of flavor), sriracha, sugar (don't have hoisin), lemon juice, pepper

I've been to about 15 different pho places in and around the Markham/Scarborough area, and about 4-5 in Mississauga Oakville area (in Canada if you were wondering). It's really difficult to find something that is consistently good. Sometimes the noodles are off, sometimes the noodle to soup ratio is tilted too far one way or the other, and sometimes the meat is just bad. Service I don't really care about, if I don't have to wait long then its fine. It is a Pho place afterall, not a 5 star restaurant.

There's a couple places that have had hits for me. The Pho 88 at Alton Towers McCowan and steeles is usually pretty good. Same thing with the place on Steeles across from pacific mall, but sometimes their noodles or meat aren't the best. My GF is also very picky about how the tripe is, and that is THE MOST inconsistent thing at a pho place. One week she'll say its the best and at the same place the next week it will suck hard.

In Mississauga/Oakville I've actually been pleasantly surprised. I would never guess Oakville to have good Pho but the place, I think its a Pho 88, on Dundas just east of 8th Line is always pretty good and surprisingly good service. The place off Hurontario just north of 403 is also solid, I forget what it is. And then there's Techno Pho (sp?) made the list because it has fed me and my starving art student friends at all hours of the night. A little shady, but 24 hours, and the pho was always delicious. It's at like hurontario and... I wanna say Brittania, but I could be wrong. Maybe Bristol? I really have no idea anymore : X

Edit: Maybe it was Pho Ba Ca..... But I don't think so...

Theres 2 good places in Times Square at Leslie and Hwy 7. The best one is like 3 or 4 storefronts to the east of the lan we go to (PC Power). I would check it out. Also theres a place called Vic Hong at Bayview and Major Mack. Their satay beef brisket soup is amaaaaazing.

I didn't know there was pho at bayview and major mack, I stop by that area all the time >.<

There is a restaurant at Keele and Major mack called Viet Thai which is pretty good.

You know any good pho restaurants in downtown?
