Had lunch on a Sunday afternoon and the food was amazing. From the appetozers, to the vermicelli bowl to the teddy bear iced tea, the food was delicious and we'll portioned. The servers were friendly and efficient and the decor was beautiful. Highly recommended for those who want some good Vietnamese cuisine!Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options on the menu.Kid-friendliness: Booster seats and highchairs available.

I went to Beyond Pho for the first time with my partner and daughter. My partner ordered an entree and Tom Yum soup. The Tom Yum soup was unsatisfactory, and she did not finish it.I ordered the Pad Thai. It was 90% straight round noodles saturated with a sweet and sour sauce and not much else. I found it inedible.I informed the waitress that I did not like the dish. She started gaslighting me! She said this was Pad Thai because they put Pad Thai sauce on the noodles, which is how it is always served.I grew up in the Boston area. I have eaten at many world-class Thai restaurants, and none have served a Pad Thai dish remotely like this.The waitress refused to take back the dish and charged me 70% of the price for a dish I could not eat.I'll never return.

Overall this was a great experience. It was the first place I had a server and a robot bringing food so that was interesting. The broth was exceptional. Spring rolls were ok as they seemed a bit dry but still tasted ok. The skewer was tasty. I’m sure there are other places but this happened to be a pleasant change of food.

Since my last travels to Singapore and Malaysia I have been looking for an authentic laksa. Tonight's dinner at Beyond Pho delivered that flavour in the beef noodle laksa soup. All I can say is that it was phenomenal! It had the right amounts of sweet, spicy, sour and salty in every spoonful. I ordered a regular sized bowl, and I promise this could be shared on a date night, the portion was very generous.The staff are super! So friendly, very attentive and prompt. Bring seated, ordering and all the rest were very friendly interactions with the servers. They are definitely a value to Beyond Pho.Atmosphere was nice. Modem, open space. Comfy booths. Very clean. My only feedback would be to expand their music shuffle. I heard the same Ed Sheeran song three times in the 45 minutes I was there.I highly recommend Beyond Pho. It's better than a treat, it's like getting the whole cake all at once.

We were walking by and it was about lunch time, when we passed Beyond Pho. The place looked nice and there were other tables inside, so we decided to give it a try. Service is friendly, but slow; they seem to be constantly distracted and a little confused. Decor was really nice and the portion size is big. The pricing was a bit high, but the broth for both the pho and special lemongrass was tasty and there was plenty of stuff in the noodles. Egg rolls were nice and crispy, but not anything super special. Fun gimmick where the robot delivers water and food, and they offer free noodles if your bowl is marked. If we were in town again, we'd come back for sure.

Very rude waitress. Unresponsive and mean . Never recommend it to anyone who wants to try pho

A R2D2 looking robot server is not the only cool thing they have. The amazing broth and never ending bowl of noodles, cool atmosphere, great location the list goes on. Very reasonably priced with many varieties of Pho to choose from, including gluten free options. This is one of the best Vietnamese restaurants I have been to. Definitely worth the visit.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

Very mixed opinions on this place. Can't seem to give it the 3.5 I want to so I'll have to go with a 4 (3 is too low).One of the best laksa flavours I've had outside of Singapore and really took me back to the hawker centres. Amazing coffee flan.Main downside/negative to my food was honestly the meat. Some pieces were great and others were tough, noodles were also a little bit overcooked despite being separated for delivery. Portions were average for the price. I will however have enough broth to cook up some of my own noodles tomorrow for a makeshift lunch.

We went there to try pho but they had no vegetarian options for pho, which was a bummer. So I would definitely recommend to add vegetarian options for pho.We ordered the shrimp salad for starter and shrimp pad thai and the vegetarian pad thai for the main. The portions were good and the taste was great.For drinks we got the passionfruit and the mangosteen juice which were very refreshing and tasty!The staff were friendly and the vibe was pleasant! Overall highly recommended. We would definitely come back again if they add more vegetarian options for pho and spring rolls!

Great atmosphere and service. I'm gonna keep it straightforward with no sugarcoating.Food quality isn't there. Presentation is good, but the flavour of the soup/pho is very bland and watery. Pork spring rolls were average but the sauce had weird texture and taste.Those robots that bring food up your table is nice concept but IMHO I think they should work on the quality of their food instead of robots.I had high hopes before coming to this restaurant. Sorry, would not recommend.
Amazing place downtown Halifax!Delicious food; big portions; relatively cheap prices given the location, the portion, and the atmosphere; great service; and they've included a robot waiter/waitress too! A trend that we're starting to see around Ontario by far!Definitely a must try location!

Honestly one of the best pho bowls I've had. The broth was flavourful, and there were chunks of beef fat in it so you knew where the flavour was coming from. The beef balls are clearly made in house (found a few gristle pieces, but the flavour made up for it). The noodles were plentiful and filling.The robot waiter is a fun little gimmick, but makes for an interesting experience. The waiters still serve you the food off the robot, so you don't have to grab your own.

The ambiance is great. Food was good too. We ordered the shrimp mango salad, chicken noodle soup and tofu veg curry and rice. The shrimp mango salad was really good, I enjoyed how the 2 came together so well. The soup and curry were also great ??

Great new spot on Spring Garden. Very impressed with the quality of the Pho broth and meat used. Portion size was large as is expected. Has been consistent the few times I've been there.In my Top 3 of Noodle joints in town.

Located on Spring Garden Road, the major business area of Halifax. The restaurant was newly opened with a clean and cozy atmosphere. Friendly and responsive staff. The most surprising part is that they use robots to deliver food. To be honest, the food is a bit overpriced. But given its location, I would say that it is not a bad choice to eat here if you want noodles/pho in downtown Halifax.
