Mint Garden in Newmarket

Dec 04 restaurant is still open

Food was perfect!!

The best shrimp fried rice in York Region. Unbelievable.

One of my fav spots for a social lunch with work colleagues. Friendly service and delicious food.

Food is good, would like to see tripe option added to the pho.

Ordered beef pho and received a bowl of tasteless water with a single cut in half meat ball so small you would need a degree in microbiology to identify it. The profit margins on selling moderately salted water with meat portions equivalent to that of the pork found inside a can of pork and beans must be incredible.

Consistent quality every time, whether it s rice or soup. Nice cozy atmosphere whether it s a family night or date night, would highly recommend. Parking: Easy parking Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating for the picky kids

Was given a specific time frame for delivery arrival regarding my order. Instead of 30 min it was delivered about an hour and abit later than the time frame they had given me and they are located not even 15min away from where I am located.. the food was barely warm, and the portions were very little for the amount of money I spent which was over $100.. The food ended up in the garbage and was a waste of money. This place used to be good and the taste used to be so yummy and the portions, were worth the cost. Im not sure if they have new owners or they are just slacking. I dont recommend this place and I will not reorder from them again!

Ive had a ton of items on the menu and everything Ive had has been utterly outstanding and incredibly fresh. However, my favourite is the grilled checking vermicelli and grilled chicken fresh rolls. Again INCREDIBLY fresh and very delicious. This is by far my favourite Vietnamese restaurant and HIGHLY recommend you eat here.

Great PHO! I had the house Pho and it was very tasty. I got take out and their packaging was very good! They give the ingredients in a bowl size take out while the broth is in the smaller container for you to poor over. I appreciated this. I liked how it was off the highway and easy to grab after work. I will be going here again and trying more options. I recommend as a quick dinner after work! Thank you.

I love this place The owners and staff are as amazing as their food. Food

My favourite place for pho, won t go anywhere else. Food is always good especially fresh rolls and pork spring rolls. Not sure where people are getting that they are racist because they are not. The owners are the kindest people I ve ever met and they treat everyone with kindness and respect. They literally have a white guy working the counter!

Food is made with lots of love and it shows! This is out go to spot for vietnamese and will be for a long time. Owners are incredibly friendly and service is excellent! Parking is always available. Take out is quick and prices are reasonable for the portions.

Staff and foods all good. Best Pho in Ontario.

Not my favorite food but people i was with wanted it.

Great food and the low prices shocked me. Really good bang for your buck and Ive eaten at a lot of Vietnamese places-

The food is good and the environment is peaceful. Perfect for a quick and light lunch break. Prices are lower than the average for the area. Advised!

Best among the pho restaurants in Newmarket/Aurora area.

Very flavorful Pho and good portions

Omg it was such a hidden gems. The foods were so delicious. We are vegan and the chef and owner was so accommodating. I strongly recommend the mango salad, Pho and the yellow curry. We definitely come back again.

Been coming here for years, friendly service and I love their Thai curry

Locally, best pho in the area! Amazing value if you are looking for hearty meal on a cold day.

Exceptional pho soup , fresh and very tasty. Great if you like low sodium.

Order from this place often during our busy season at work. They have some amazing chicken fired rice. The food is very reasonable priced for the portion size.

Great everytime !

Incredible local spot completely family owned and operated. You often find the owners serving the food. P1 or P2 pho with the Pork spring rolls will blow your mind!

A cozy place. Support locals.

Bad rice

A+ Pho Broth

I am a pho fav, this is The top one on my list so far. Only the pho and rice roll

Havent gone back since covid because we found out there tipping themselves.

Mint Garden is a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant in Newmarket. The chicken pho was absolutely delicious and the staff were amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant if youre looking for authentic and tasty Vietnamese food. Best pho in Newmarket

Loved the pho rare beef ! Reasonable price, thank you, Mr. Mint Garden. It was so good I lost my hair

The best Pad Thai ever!! Highly recommend this place. I recoil to many people, and they all Love it. Friendly service all the time. Food : 5/5 |

Very delicious and yummy! Portion was bigger than I expected so a lot of leftover for my supper, price was amazing too!!! Only leave 20-25 min for meal to arrive

The food is okay, not on our top pho places in GTA. We were there for a quick lunch but finally it took us an hour to finish.

Delicious plate ! Never disappointed by the mint garden located in New Market ! Service was more than great !! Would definitely come back when I m around :) Translation in French: Une explosion de saveur qui ne laisse pas indifférent

Super nice people! They deserve the business! Great food! Spring rolls are amazing!

The most incredible food and atmosphere. Honest, healthy, delicious! So grateful

. Phö was ok, nothing special. The service is quick and polite. Good prices. Family owned place. Only negatives are that the daughters are a little bit narcissistic , so steer clear please. Very racist. Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly, uses child labour. Wheelchair accessibility: No wheel chair accessibility

We have become regulars here over the last year or so. This is a family run business and the owners are absolutely lovely! Always friendly service and the pho is delicious!

Fantastic lady and other servers, fantastic food. These people care a lot for their customers.

I had the shrimp wontons, garden salad and pork spring rolls and it was delicious!

Very very good food really tasty, big portions,good prices and clean restaurant.

By far the worst red and green curry I ve ever had. It was gelatinous - the consistency of jello. The pad Thai was good but very disappointed with the curry.

LOVE THE PHO HERE! THE SOUP IS SO DELICIOUS.

The pho is great and the shrimp rolls with the house made sauce are a must.

This has to be the worst asian food Ive ever had in my life! I thought it was good thai food based on reviews. I ordered red Thai curry with chicken, there was absolutely no curry flavor. It came in a bowl thick and syrup like. I felt sick eating it, I sent it back asking it to be taken off my bill. I ordered pad thai chicken, it was horrible too. There was no tamarind or anything thai about this dish, Ive been cooking thai for decades myself. I bit into broccoli and all I could taste was ketchup. This was part of pad thai. The chicken in both dishes tasted off. I left there feeling sick, Im old, grew up in Toronto, this is the worst meal Ive ever had. I cook every culture in the world. I paid for one dish pad thai but I think my meal was left on table I hardly ate anything! I felt bad for server.

One of my favourite restaurants. An absolute hidden gem. Not only is the food excellent, but the service is wonderful and has the best owners you ll ever meet. I ve been to many Vietnamese restaurants to try the best pho and this one consistently comes out on top.

I recently saw many people on Facebook recommending this Vietnamese pho restaurant as the best in Newmarket, so I came with high expectations. After eating it, I felt it was not as delicious as expected, but the taste was still very good, the ingredients were quite fresh, and the price was affordable.

Excellent pho! Soul-level. Also easy to eat here from a food-allergy perspective. The service was excellent, helpful and very knowledgeable when it came to helping our family (with several dietary restrictions) eat here. Absolute gem in Newmarket Dietary restrictions: Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to navigating food allergies.

It says theyre open on google but when I arrive they were closed. Despite a giant sign in their window saying they are open.

Delicious pho at great price point and generous portions. One of the best spring rolls I ve had. However the hours are quite inconvenient and randomly closed for a couple of weeks. Highly recommend for anyone craving pho

love coming here all the time! Food is always delicious and served fresh!

I love the pho, the fresh rolls are the best, really special Pad Thai too! The most lovely service and so clean, highly recommend!!!

Amazing food that is always super fresh and delicious. The staff here are so friendly. 11/10!

False advertising ...

Ordered the special Pho, boy was it good.

It s not the fanciest place. The dishes are simple and good. What keeps me coming back is that the Pho broth is simply the best - clear, beefy and not too salty. The family that runs the place are super nice people.

Driven by the place so many times and its randomly opened or closed. Everytime Ive gone to it to make an order its closed, even though the website and the hours on the front of the store say they should be open.

The outside of the store looks old and the ambience is really dated as well. We didnt order any pho soup noodles, instead we got the spring rolls, vermicelli with grill pork, chicken Pad Thai and grill pork/chicken on rice. Overall the food was ok, the meats were very lean so it was kinda chewy, the Pad Thai was hot but it tasted more Chinese stir-fry than Thai flavoured. The spring rolls came with sweet chili sauce, which was odd, since normally it should come with fish sauce. This threw us off abit. Also, they dont have any of the common Vietnamese drinks, like Viet coffee or any fruit smoothies, which was very disappointing. The people there was nice but the limited Vietnamese style dish/drink options and the ambience was where I minus points from.

Pho is great. I ordered the one with well done meat. However, the bun size is not big enough.

The broth here is out of this world! The fresh rolls are some of these best I ve tasted too!

Food is great and reasonable in price. Really hit the spot. Yummy !

Okay for a cheap meal. Prices are lower than other Viet places in the area, but quality is not on par.

The nicest hardworking people Never mind the food is insanely good

I will be back with friends without a doubt! Portions are large and fairly priced. Thank you for warming me up on a cold day!

This place has the best pho!! I called to place an order and asked if they had veggie broth for the pho. They didn t but said the chef could make some on the spot! I was so happy and honestly the broth was soooo flavourful and spiced to perfection. When I went to pick up the order they said I can call ahead anytime and they will prepare the veggie broth in advance. I also ordered my vegetarian pho with tofu and their tofu was incredible in the pho! So happy to have found this place. Highly recommend especially for vegans/vegetarians!

I work around the corner and used to come here every week with coworkers. Prices would change week to week without notifying customers, they would be closed at random times, but the customer service is why we stopped going. Every week their seemed to be some new issue, forgetting drinks, or other parts or the order and then having an issue when calling about the order. Getting to the restaurant and getting charged another price that was online and advertised. One time when ordering a side of chicken they gave me one price on the phone then charged another price when we got there. After about 4 -5 months of buying lunch weekly, we stopped eating there based on the customer service and not feeling valued as consistent customers. Pho is delicious, the broth is one of the best in town but the toppings and choices really small. The amount of meat is minimal compared to other places but the broth is fantastic. No tripe, tendon, or many other topping options is disappointing as well, makes it an easier choice to choose another place.

Fantastic! Get in here! B4 everyone discovers this cute delicious nook. The Beef Pho and spring rolls are devine! Ask for the homemade chilli sauce ! :)

This place is a gem. I absolutely love their food. The Chef is so lovely and the staff is great if you need good fresh food, DEFINITELY come here.

The food overall was tasty. The pork and chicken was dry and overcooked. The beef was delicious.

Best pho in York Region!

Love the Pho here.

Fantastic service and great pho! We got the P01 (rare beef, flank and beef ball) and P05 (rare beef and flank) pho. We each got regular and couldn t finish - huge portions. Will be coming back next time we re in the area!

Best pho in town!!!!!! Take same as dine with take out! Just amazing!!!

If you like pho.. then you will love this place.. I eat here all the time... Best pho in Newmarket.

AMAZING pho! The staff are always smiling and even when just doing takeout, I always leave with a great feeling!

Great food, Nice staff...

My Wife enjoyed the Pho

Terrible customer service. Will never come back again

Good taste of food and friendly staff. Went there very often when I was working at office.

My favourite place for Pho noodle soup. Perfect meat to noodle ratio.

Weve been coming here since it opened and have never been disappointed The food is authentic and always made with fresh ingredients. Their Pho is the best that Ive ever tasted. My wifes favorite is the Pad Thai. The owner, Tania, is very friendly. Ask her about the picture hanging on the wall with all of the people. VERY interesting.

Best shrimp wanton pho in town. Absolutely the nicest chef/owner who puts her heart and soul into every dish. And is always smiling ear to ear. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Great service. Great prices. Great food. Fast service

Pho broth was good cane with a large portions. Needs proper chopsticks to fully enjoy.

My family and I have been eating here for a long time. Tania is truly amazing! Her food is truly top notch and she goes above and beyond for her customers.

Always great food and service.

Excellent small restaurant!

Tanya made the best spring rolls! Everything is made to order with love and care. Price are unbeatable. Satay beef or chicken noodle, fresh rolls, and Vietnamnese style beef noodle are my other favorites.

The owner an staff are very friendly and helpful. Good food and priced competitively. I like the beef satay. Its a bit spicy though.

Amazing Pho!!!

Really good salad rolls and kind front line staff. A hidden jem

Good food fare prices

One of our faves. No fancy dining experience but great food, good prices, and the nicest lady youll meet.

Amazing food and friendly staff!! Would recommend the shrimp fresh rolls and the cashew chicken!!!

Offers regular and great vegetarian meals

Updated 2020.07.13 Restaurant is now open with take out and delivery. Please note the menu prices on the website are outdated. The owner said it s pending the website administration to update the prices. Please call to ask for prices.

The freshest, and most delicious food! Authentic and best pho around. I am blown away by this gem in Newmarket and I dont usually care much for food or reviews but I had to comment on this one because I couldnt believe how great an experience I had with the food and the owner. Also these spring rolls deserve an award.. I have NEVER tasted anything so good.

A nice cozy place for great food! Tanya is the best! So bubbly and friendly!

I love it, great pho. Super nice owners. I hope this local small business continues to thrive, especially through covid.

My wife and I frequent Mint Garden often and have never been disappointed. The owners and staff are always friendly and the food is always hot and delicious. Come hungry... Leave Full and Satisfied!

Food is good, pricing is very fair. What makes this restaurant stand out is its customer service. The owner is extremely kind and well spoken. I make sure to visit this spot if I am even remotely in the area.

Always great food. Great service.

Food is delicious, prices are really good, service can be a little slow to get your food and not much in the way of atmosphere.

Fantastic pad Thai and the pho to go Congress in its own bowl!

Great food! Very Fresh and staff is amazing!

Amazing food

Great food.

Weve tried pho all over Newmarket and the surrounding area and this is, by far, the most flavourful broth weve had. Its a great size portion (got a large chicken pho) and the bean sprouts, basil and other necessities are fresh and plentiful. I love that they serve the crispy onions with finely sliced red onion, small slices of chopped green onion and cilantro on the side for takeaway. Nice touch. The broth is beautifully as seasoned and rich without being heavy and you can tell theres been a lot of care and love put into it. Deeply satisfying. Well be coming here for our pho from now on. Weve found the best. I wish Id taken a photo but I inhaled it.

I had one of their noodle soups It was excellent

Great good, friendly environment and home feel. This family run restaurant never disappoints with its food and service. Always amazing!

A tiny, easy-to-miss place on the corner of Leslie and Elgin, but its very well worth stopping in - great Vietnamese food and really friendly service. :)

Highly recommend this place! Excellent food!

Delicious food, and the owner is such a friendly and pleasant person. The ph broth is so flavourful and tasty, you can tell it was made with love and care. The best ph spot in Newmarket hands down!

Best pho restruant in my 20 years pho life. Not only food is good.something more feel happy. Love is there!!

Great food, fresh and hot, good portion sizes. Busy place, adequate seating and very friendly staff. Highly recommend the Pho

Excellent menu, high class.

Pho is quite salted to my taste. And using disposable chopsticks is just a huge minus.

Hot and fresh

Nice owner, not the best grilled chicken

Food is tasty and prices are reasonables

This place was fantastic and will be going back

Good broth, takeout utensils for eatting..... Salad too sweet

Amazing food. I found this hidden gem about 4 years ago while looking for decent place for pho soup. I was so impressed with the food and service I told my family and extended family about this place. Fast forward to now, I find myself coming back over and over again for the delectable food at least 3 times a month.

Best Pho in the area-very good food

Its nice to have a good place to eat this kind of food that isnt out of York Region

Superb Vietnamese food, everything was so fresh and tasty! Prices extremely reasonable for what you get. Amazing service too and the owner is so proud of her work. Would return if we ever come back to Newmarket!

Pho is good. Get the large one if you want good amount of meat

Family run place. Their Pho is the best items on the menu.

Closed on Sundays? Inconvenient. One of the better Vietnamese restaurants for authentic Pho...but have noticed lately that they are not proving as high quality in terms of quantity which is disappointing...the last few times we have ordered pho with rare beef and beef balls, there was 1 beef ball in the large order? Prices have increased, so please dont lack when it comes to quality! Will give them one more try but this was disappointing when we get home and see this in our take out dinner.

These are fine food with heart put on cooking. Hard to find by random search. Passion to try again with different option.

very good.

Tasty

Amazing food and amazing owner!

What a great find! Decided to try this restaurant after finding it on Google Maps. Small family restaurant nothing fancy, but where it lags fanciness it makes it up in great food. Customers here are repeated clientele and some new that will definitely come back. Service is good and warm and the food is amazing. Fresh, honest and very satisfying food that will bring me back. Highly recommend this great place when in town.

The best cashew chicken!

One of my favorites.

Just ate here with my family. Chef was very accommodating with vegetarian options that were not on the menu. Spring rolls were top notch. Beef broth was some of the best Ive had and the quality of the beef was outstanding. Highly recommend!

Good food. Good service

Excellent soup

Absolutely the chicken on rice with salad! Always fresh and tasty - service is quick and super friendly! Happy to support a family run restaurant

Pho is ok. But rice dish is not that good. Pork chop is hard.

Excellent

Very good and price is nice

First time here today. My daughter highly recommended. Im highly satisfied with everything - food, price, service and amount. I definitely recommend it to everyone looking for a Vietnamese restaurant in Newmarket.

So yummy and very generous servings. Ill defiantly be back! Not to mention the owner is a very kind sweet soul <3

Came in for lunch with a couple of girlfriends the other day. I am vegan, so I ordered the pad Thai without chicken, shrimp, or egg. I asked to have tofu instead, and our server was more than happy to do that for me. Turns out she was also the chef. She came back with a totally off-menu, unique version of pad Thai for me, and said that because I asked for those particular modifications, she thought I was more than likely vegan (I didnt tell her), and that the regular pad Thai was made with chicken broth (unusual), so she made me something completely new. I thought this was above and beyond customer service, and was thrilled. It was absolutely delicious!! My non vegan girlfriends who ordered the standard pad Thai liked mine better! Hehe. Thank you Mint Garden, for truly caring about your customers!!

This place was fantastic. Very cute. Pho noodle soup was one of the best weve ever had. My son googled the place and so glad he did. We chatted with the Owner/Server/Chef, she was a spitfire of a woman. So happy and energetic. Although she had every table to clean she still took the time to chat with us. We came after lunch, around 145 and as soon as we walked into the little restaurant we knew it was going to be good as every single table in the place was taken. A very short wait. We will be back again for sure!!!!!!!

Cozy atmosphere, super tasty Pho and excellent service. Will be back!

You can eat when you have time.

This place is pretty good. Owner lady is very friendly. The pho is pretty good

Went there today at 2:30pm today and it was closed

My favorite place

Very displeased with this restaurant, staff seems racist towards those not of Asian descent. Went for lunch, the staff saw me from the kitchen but did not come to greet me or bring a menu. Five minutes later two groups of diners of Asian descent entered, were greeted by staff in the kitchen, provided menus, and were waited on. I still did not even have a menu and my presence was not even acknowledged. I left in disgust and anger. Never felt so insulted in my life. They do not get a 2nd chance. Hope they get shut down.

It s super tasty pho place!

Good nice soup

No MSG, fresh home cooking. No need to hesitate and try this place, owner very friendly and food is fresh (can tell by the bean sprouts and basil). The sauce for the fresh rolls have a basil or lemongrass oil that makes it very tasty. Spicy beef brisket noodle soup will warm you up on a cold day.

The best Vietnamese cuisine indeed. Delicious options, awesome customer service with a warm and welcoming environment. Great for family!

The best home feeling food experience. The beef soup is the best soup I ever had. Try this one for sure.

Nice restaurant. Busy and with good food. The lady who runs it is a kind soul.

Amazing pho soup, if you havent had it I highly suggest you do!

Fresh food and great new find.

Great food slow service during peaks hours

Great local place. Pho is tastey and they chicken dishes are great ..alsp the pad thai

Had the Pho Soup. Fantastic as usual.
