Pho 51 Vietnamese Restaurant

I wanted to give this place a try and was hoping it would be at least decent but it was horrible. I would give it negative 5 if I could.
Service, not existent. One lady was busy playing with a baby…and when we flagged the guy to come and take our order, we got so much attitude.
Food, horrible. Do not go here if you want flavourful, authentic Vietnamese food. We ordered a large everything Pho, lemongrass chicken and shrimp/pork fried wontons.

The portions were ok but there was NO flavour. Like zero. The soup was cold and watered down and the chicken was cold and believe me when I tell you, it had NO taste!!

The wontons were overpriced and no sight of shrimp- only pork and also had zero taste: not even salt. There was no garlic chilli pepper oil on the table like every other Vietnamese restaurant… and when we asked for some, we got attitude and a tablespoon full.

Food safety- they served boiling HOT tea in a plastic container.

Never going back.

Seriously mopping the entire restaurant and putting the fan on while 4 tables all crammed on one end of the space… I’m so shocked by the service. Why do it now? Can’t wait until the end of day? Or before opening? Never coming back. Not only is the pricing an equivalent to other more delicious pho shops but the food is SO subpar. If I can recommend you a better place in the vicinity, go to Mr.Pho.

I’ve been coming here for over 5 years, and it’s always been my go-to pho spot! The quality and flavor never disappoint. Definitely a PoCo staple!

Food was okay but service was really bad. They gave 1 napkin for our table and somehow could not see us whenever we tried to flag a server down to ask for more napkins and water. We were sitting right in front of them (right in front of the counter) but I guess we were just invisible. They could see the table right beside us though. I guess I should just be happy we didn't have to share cutlery too.

Great tasting PHO. They give you more food at this location. The prices are about 20$ per large bowl of soup. Staff are always friendly.

The worst Spring Roll in 34 years of eating Vietnamese. I asked if it was wonton wrapper or rice paper wrapper and I was told rice papper wrapper. It was won ton I would not have ordered it had he been truthful. Also.of the was 1/2 an ounce of pork in there I will eat my hat. I actually called him over and asked if thry ahd given me a vegetarian one by mistake. Gred has taken an awful hand in this cusine. Salad roll was meh as well.

Food was great. We had a rude and rascist server who clearly didn’t like us because of our skin color but treated every other table great. Won’t be back

This place hits every time! The pho broth is always hot and delicious — comfort food done right. Their spring rolls? So fresh and crispy, and that peanut sauce is next level 🔥. But the real star for me is the lemongrass rice dish — juicy, flavorful, and super satisfying.

Big portions, good vibes, and food that slaps. If you haven’t been yet, you’re seriously missing out!

Soup was too salty and oily. Added a cup of water in there and turned out better. Sandy bones in the soup. Tiny bowl filled to the brim. Not very generous. Not worth revisiting.

There is nothing special, food is not hot. Service is terrible
