Our friends bought us lunch. We all had the noodle bowls. I thought it was the appetizer. I finished this super small bowl in less than 5 minutes. Left hungry! Very few ingredients and like others said, very little protein or taste. I would recommend you visit Blue Ocean restaurant near Chinook centre, our usual favorite where the portions are double in size for roughly the same price! Seriously. Just sayin...

Nicest people I’ve ever had the experience of dealing with. Definitely worth the money

I used to come here while working near by years ago, decided to make a stop today. The place looks all the same after all this years, but the service and the food have changed soo much. The beef pho i ordered tasted alright, but the portions were lacking enormously, i guess its 2024 and everyones cutting corners. But no basil leafs, one quarter of a quarter of the driest lemon, and perhaps i was lucky if there were more than 4pcs of beef. Im truly dissatisfied and disappointed with me visit to this restaurant today. I dont think i will be coming back

Wouldn't recommend this place at all. They do not care about the product they deliver.We ordered three Pho soups, when they asked if we wanted cooked meat in it or raw, we said we wanted cooked, they gave us raw. Since we walked the order home, the broth was too cold to cook the meat, forcing us to have to cook it ourselves.They also only provided us with one small personal size bag of veggies and toppings for the three of us (bean sprouts, soy sauce, hoisin, sriracha). When we realised they had done this we gave them a call. Their answer was "well that's all we had left". No discount, no warning, no substitute offered, no care given.The soup we had, although smaller than expected due to the missing components did taste good, but we felt ripped off.PS : Our fault for not asking but the Pho did have a peanut aroma, and part of our group had peanut allergies.

Nice flavorful soup with lots of noodles and a little beef, plus 1/8 of a lemon wedge and a handful of sprouts on the side. Satay sauce was fragrant and tasty. I was expecting more for the price ($15).Staff were very friendly and accommodated my request for satay sauce on the side.The dining area was pretty good with clean utensils and napkins at the table, but the wooden stools were not very comfortable. The radio was playing top 40 which was generally annoying.

Good discovery, the bowls were very good and very generous, especially for the price! The rolls on the other hand didn't have much taste which is a bit of a shame but the quantity was incredible, especially the shrimp were very big whereas usually there are two and they are small so it's really nice! The waitress was really nice, she took the time to explain to us because we had never eaten this before, she gave us good advice! I recommend this place

This place used to be one of the best, but it's really gone downhill over the past year. There's been some staff turnover and the result has been excessively salty broth, undercooked noodles, burnt subs, unfriendly service, and rushing customers out an hour before closing. I can't see this location staying in business for much longer like this.

Food is so good here. Only one thing, some of the staff won’t give the spicy one or chop sticks if you’re white. That’s disappointing.Market Mall location.

After landing from our flight, my boyfriend and I wanted a comforting hot meal. The first thing to come to mind was Pho. This place was only a few minutes from our hotel so we decided to give it a try! The menu is quite small compared to Pho restaurants back home. We decided to order the Beef Pho and their spring rolls. The broth for the Pho was flavorful and plenty spicy. I don't really have the highest spice threshold though, so maybe for others it's not that spicy lol. The spring rolls were delicious as well but I wish it came with more for the price or were at least larger in size. The interior was adorable and the staff were friendly! This is a great place for a quick lunch if you're in the area!

I was there with my husband today around 12:23. We ordered beef pho sate. I always go there, because there are the best one. But today the soup wasn’t unfortunately good. I don’t know if they change the cook or the soup was the last one. But the soup wasn’t warm enough, the meat wasn’t rare and overall it was weak, without peanuts and chili. Next time I will try the soup somewhere else

The vibes in the place were OFF the charts!!! When i tell you they were playing boy genius, phoebe bridgers, still woozy every song that came on was a certified banger. The staff were kind but not super involved, they kind of just let you do your own thing. the food was DELICIOUS. i've never had pho before but it was so good. there was a hair in my friends food so i had to dock 1 star for that, but I will definitely be back regardless. I mean everyone loses hair every once and a while ok?? god. The place was basically empty too? there were only two other customers for the two hours we were there. underground gem alert??

Food was ok, cannot be considered as typically vietnamese food. Restaurant is very clean and staff are very nice.

Not a good place to dine, but as a street vendor. Vietnamese food by name but not the taste.
