You walk in and you know this is going to be good food. I was feeling like having something grilled and something beef. The charbroiled beef on rice delivered! Size was satisfying. Beef cut thinly sliced with some marbling and charbroiled to perfection.

Over-priced pho in a bad neighborhood, relatively small portion and broth tasted like tap waterWorst of all, the owner demands 15% tip and conveniently includes it in your total for you even if you are just a lone diner.WILL NEVER REPEAT

My recent visit to this restaurant in the downtown east side left me with a rather disappointing experience.Upon entering, I observed a notice on the wall requesting a $15.99 minimum spending. I decided to try their chicken soup noodle, which was priced at $16.99 on the menu. To my dismay, when I reached the cashier, the bill had escalated to $20.Regrettably, due to the rush, I didn't thoroughly inspect the receipt, assuming the extra charges were intentional tips. However, this lack of transparency is unacceptable, especially in a family-run establishment where customers should be valued and informed about any additional costs.The food itself was mediocre; there was no 'wow' factor. Given the questionable billing practices and the overall experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant. A business should be built on honesty and fair practices, and unfortunately, this establishment falls short. A big no for me.

We came here as having vegan Vietnamese in our hometown Toronto is a family favourite. The owner is very nice and helped us make great selections. We had the paper spring rolls as starters, while I had the hot and sour soup (vegan) as a main meal. My wife had the vegan curry. My son had the beef dish. The food was absolutely wonderful and we will make sure to visit again next time we visit Vancouver.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan options available.

They force a 20% tip into the price when you pay. Food was mediocre, and expensive for what it is. Expect to pay $20+ for a bowl of pho.

Hands down the best bowl of pho I’ve ever had. Tried both the chicken and beef and the amount of flavour in both is unbelievable!Restaurant is CASH ONLY and is in a rough area of Vancouver.The restaurant itself is clean and spacious and staff (owners) friendly.Overall, would return for the food.

I really wanted to give a higher rating because the husband and wife who own this restaurant are so kind and welcoming, but the food just wasn't satisfying.Deluxe beef rice noodle soup: their rice noodle soups only come in one size. They offer medium-rare beef (unlike other restaurants that serve their beef rare). I liked that there was a lot of green onions & cilantro, but the broth was flavourless...like eating noodles in a bowl of hot water. I like to add Sriracha to my pho, but they had a cheap hot sauce that is spicy/sour. Not sure if this is due to the Sriracha shortage or if it's their norm.Charbroiled pork, fried egg, and lemongrass chicken on rice: usually when we order this at other Vietnamese restaurants it comes with soup, but this one didn't. The portion was also really small.Hanoi Pho is in a really rough neighbourhood (Downtown Eastside) so we were surprised that their prices were so high.

The food had a funky taste and smell, it was definitely spoiled. Also heard the guy here microwave our food. Definitely would not recommend or come again.
