This place is my favorite Pho on the island. Pho #1 has all the right things. We at Vansle don’t always have access to basil and most times cilantro garnishes the pho. If you notice no basil it’s gonna work with the cilantro. The grilled pork lemongrass is also a favorite go-to. This place is a family-owned classic and highly recommended.

Peak Vietnamese. The cha giao (deep fried spring rolls) are clearly hand made and cooked to a perfect deep golden brown. They have a good crunch without overcooking the mix inside. Dipping sauce is a classic nuoc cham. Balanced, but lacking the heat in a clear and reasonable compromise with Canadian tastes. When I asked for some chili to add, they happily brought it out. I had a bowl of pho which was also excellent. Clear broth just exploding with flavor. The rice noodles were cooked just right and not clumpy. Generous bean sprouts, cilantro and Thai basil. Service was friendly, attentive and bilingual (English and Vietnamese). The decore has hole in the wall vibes: dated but well maintained and very very clean.

We visited Chemainus while on vacation and were blown away by their incredible food! Their Curry Chay (V5) was so delicious. Great food at good prices. Definitely visit them if you like Vietnamese food!

Such a great place. I work in Chemainus and can't stop myself from coming here for their Pho (specifically the beef/brisket). The staff is so friendly. Come with a good appetite because good gawwwd the bowls are biiig.
The pho and chicken soup are really good. Wontons are really good too.

I have only ever had the pho and spring rolls and it is a very respectable bowl. One of the best broths in the area with a nice deep and rich flavour. Noodles are not overcooked (as some places do) and the rare beef is good quality and they give a lot of it. Service has always been very good. Nice location. This is my go-to pho spot in the Cowichan Valley,
