Pho express not so express. Food took forever. If I hadn’t followed up it would’ve taken even longer. Disappointed. I even left a tip. Clearly undeserved.

Came for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the food! I had the Grilled Lemongrass Chicken with Fried Rice (around $19). It was so tasty! The fried rice had an orange hue, and the portion of chicken was generous with 2 large pieces. Cooked well, but still tender and fragrant. The plate also had a small side salad of pickled veg, and a bowl of broth. I was very hungry for lunch, but realistically, this could easily be two meals! My family member had their large Pho with Rare Beef, Brisket, Tendon and Tripe (around $17). Served piping hot and very comforting, good mix of protein too.
Service was OK (upon the dishes arriving at our table, there was no acknowledgement when we thanked the staff, so overall it felt a bit distant). The storefront and interior is a bit unassuming, and they have around 12 or so tables inside. That being said, the food was excellent and we're looking forward to returning in the future!
They don't skimp on the meat here.

Started out mid when they opened but they've improved alot. Pho comes out steaming hot and delicious. I do emphasize hot because this is actually quite rare. Soup coming out without steam must be an automatic fail, this place certainly succeed.
The street is also decently quite with big mature trees, a really nice spot to sit outside and enjoy a bow of hot pho. Much better than the few tourist traps on the seawall.

Ordered a banh mi from this little place. I think it was the worse banh mi we had so far. Little meat, and bland. I honestly prefers the banh mi I had in Calgary.

My wife and I stopped by for lunch and had the chicken / prawn + pork on vermicelli with some chicken salad rolls. The food was delicious, but what made it extra special was the chili oil sauce. It was both tasty and actually spicy, a pleasant surprise for the two of us as we both really enjoy spicy food and most places are too mild.
On top of that the view was pleasant and the service was friendly and prompt. Plus there was good air conditioning in the summer heat! We definitely plan to go back next time we're downtown.
Hands down my new go-to spot for authentic Vietnamese food. Their Bún Bò Huế is absolutely incredible, rich, flavorful broth with just the right amount of spice, and super generous portions. You can really taste the authenticity in every bite. The prices are surprisingly affordable for the quality you're getting, sometimes I need to double-check the bill to make sure they didn't forget anything ! On top of that, the staff team (especially the owner) are such genuine people, always makes me feel welcomed. Highly recommend if you're craving some good pho in the Coal Harbour area.
So good
Great food and service. I originally didn’t want a bag but the owners were so kind offering me a bag when the to go order was too hot. Thank you for your kindness!
The employees were very nice, took my food to go this time but I’ll definitely be back to dine in!
