Yum Son has got some great food! The pho here is unreal and the staff were super friendly too. Service was fast as well. Definitely would recommend checking this spot out!

Was in Nelson and looking for Pho. I ordered two Pho’s for pickup and the bill came to over $50. As I was walking into my hotel with the food the paper bag bottom collapsed due to the condensation in the bag and spilt half the broth. Once I got around to eating it I quickly realized this was some of the worst pho I have had, at one of the most expensive prices I have ever paid! I described it as if “pho turned into fast food” - this is not a traditional recipe. They took one of the most affordable, delicious traditional recipes and absolutely butchered it into an over priced noodles and flavoured water. Lastly, to make things worse pho is typically promised “fuh” but on their menu they call it “pho-shizzle” - just continues to prove how much of a joke this dish is. 1 star.

I grew up eating viet food in Toronto and then Calgary for the past 18 years. I’ve eaten a lot of good food in Vietnam. Love it all. I thought this spot is close to being great. The prices are a bit though given the quantity and quality. $18 for 3 average sized spring rolls is nuts. Over $20 for a pho bowl that’s regular size with decent noods, broth and beef. $18 for 2 Bao. There’s a myth that Nelson is expensive but this is the only one I find insane price wise. It’s a nice spot and patio. I’ll stick with the Viet food in major cities.

Wings were delicious! Prawns wrap was good. Pho arrived barely warm, and it was replaced with a hot one. Server could have apologized rather than saying it happens, which is why we wanted to leave a 15% tip. I am sure it does happen but an apology is what is appropriate. Tip options should start at 15%, not 18% anyway.

A nice little place to stop by. Kind servers and good food. My experience here was splendid.
We cook great Thai food at home, but I'm always glad when I find a place worth going out for. The cauliflower bites were absolutely delicious, everything else we ordered as well. The cocktails were also very much appreciated in our group. Would certainly recommend the place, treat yourself!

Had the mushroom bao and tofu bahn mi - both were excellent! There were a lot of vegan options to choose from which was a very nice surprise. Our server was grumpy but the food more than made up for it.

On the recommendation of our hotel front desk we walked over to try Yum Son and the food hit the spot.
We tried 4 different dishes and all were delicious and prepared fresh.
Sadly the service was a bit too busy so people were having to wait for things like beverage refills etc.

One of our favorites when visiting Nelson. The patio in the summer is perfect, and off the busy main street.
Very good pho lived the rolls aswell.
