Good pho, good broth, yummy chili oil, no issues with the service
This used to be part of my childhood, the prices increased quite the bit. Nothing really changed except for the amount of people that used to fill the place, I always went at night and it had such a sparkly atmosphere. Now it feels dull and lonely.
The waiter? Service guy claimed our order was 70$ even though with tax and tip it wouldn't even be 50$. Maybe it was just a miscalculation, but we were almost charged like 20 dollars extra, without tip too. We HAD to tip anyway.

Pho 88 is a long-time Vietnamese restaurant located at the Bamburgh Circle plaza, offering average prices and quick service. The broth is rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care, with a perfect balance of depth and warmth. They have a variety of fruit smoothies at a good price, along with hot soy milk and strong Vietnamese coffee. Regulars appreciate the consistent good food and the owner is always welcoming, with some even considering it a go-to pho place for over 20 years. The staff is helpful and quick, and the restaurant had a cozy, inviting atmosphere.
The restaurant opens late at night and is well-run, with clean tables, stocked napkins, and a clean washroom. The XL combination pho is a popular choice and the portions of beef were generous, tender, and beautifully seasoned. The portion is massive and it is a very good value meal. The spring roll & chicken vermicelli sometimes uses thicker rice noodles instead of traditional vermicelli. Fried spring rolls can taste doughy with too many carrots, while fresh spring rolls may feel dense due to the wrong noodles.
Overall, Pho 88 offers excellent quality food with reasonable prices, making it a reliable choice for satisfying a pho craving. It is the kind of place you can come for a quick comforting bowl of pho, or sit down with friends and share several dishes.
