Yes just south of King Ed on the east side. It is between the butcher's shop and an Ethiopian place. It also has a huge blue sign that says "Vietnamese Restaurant" and they take visa, master, debit, cash.

buddy families owns that place, very very friendly service and i like their rice dishes

[bbbj]

I go to a little place sometimes on Victoria just a little south of 41st ave. Not sure the exact location but its around there. I think its called Kim Phung? Pretty good salad rolls there.

[Vansterdam]

thats the place i go to thats the best/nearest to my house lol

its like half a block down from 41st/42 ish vancouver side on victoria

You can't miss it with its huge sign. It's on the south east corner of Vic and 41st. I like the food there but it seems to have a northern Vietnamese touch to it and not many places serve it this way. I personally like it a lot there. :)

holy shit they have squeezeable hoisin sauce bottles now? LOL

[Volvoman]

I know this isn't local, but it was worth a mention

Pot de Pho in San Francisco. It is not the traditional style pho place as it is quite trendy inside. Mainly caters to gwai los who don't know better...as reflected by the $10 per bowl price.

Salad Rolls - $6 - The dipping sauce is quite nice. Typical peanut sauce, with a bit of spicyness to it

http://members.shaw.ca/volvoman/index/pics/Pictures/Pho/IMG_0869.JPG

Beef slices were great. Different cut of beef than the usual kind in Vancouver. Very soft, and lots of it.

Meat was good, noodles were thicker than usual, but good as well. However, I've always thought of broth as the most important part of the pho. The broth was quite dissapointing as it was bland. Didn't have a distinct flavour initially, and didn't leave anything on the aftertaste either.

Good experience, but wouldn't go back. I do have to mention that my spring rolls were free tho :)

[bbbj]

^ Expensive rolls...

[Armind]

^ The soup base is so damn DARK T_T

[bcrdukes]

^
That colour of soup base is typical of most (not all) Vietnamese places in NorCal at least with my findings. :)

[Vansterdam]

if i ever open up my own pho place it be called pho phuc lai, if it was a thai place then it be thai suprise LOL course RS'ers get discounts to.

was always something i thought about in the near future, you know.. grab all the recipes from my mom n stuff ;)

[bcrdukes]

It's doable. Ha Long Bay in Richmond is owned by a high school friend of mine. I used to always bug him about how great the pho his mother made at home was and finally, they turned a joke into a reality where his family operates the business. :)

oOo... damn I must say, the beef looks fuckin good.

Pho An Nam on Granville in Richmond. Liked them better than Tai Son. Not strictly a Pho joint, and I have had better, but again it's good and better than Tai Son for Pho and very good grill dishes - also better than Tai Son. Have to try their Banh Xeo next.

I just grabbed some To-Go Pho from my favourite place :D

I've been to Pho An Nam a couple times.. I don't think its better than Thai Son.
The spring rolls aren't that great, and for sure the lemon grass chicken isn't better. The pho and soup is comparable to thai son though.

I've been going to pho thai hoa in the richmond sushi plaza for pho in richmond alot recently.. soups pretty good. But the spring rolls have way too thick of a skin.

[Vansterdam]

gotta love pho thai hoa pho ga

Speaking of pho ga, i've never had any good bowl of that before.

Kim Hoang in Surrey (near Guildford mall/Timmys)

Don't get me wrong or anything cause I love Pho but does anyone find when they eat a big bowl of Pho that they sweat and get really hot. Any way you can stop that from happening? Maybe stop drinking the broth????? but i dont think i could do that.. i love drinking the broth hahaha

[Amuse]

I never understood why people like to drink pho broth, same as for the people who like to drink the soup after eating instant noodles. Why would you want to drink msg water?
Because the soup is good. What's the point of eating pho if there is no soup? Just eating the noodles is not satisfying enough. I always drink most of the soup if the soup is good and clear.

PHO VINH TO GO BITCH? (Taken on my iPhone) :haha:

[achiam]

thats fucking gorgeous.
please refer to my epic post on this thread's very first page!!

[Armind]

So how do you people eat your pho?

For me, I put 2 pieces of lime,bean sprouts and that's it. I like to eat my basil and this other long string of leaf raw cause it would get all soggy inside the broth. Along with hoison and hotsauce mixed together for dipping. Absolutely no sauces into my pho xD I like to taste it naturally and not the damn sweet hoison. :D

[AsBannedAsItGets]

Armind stop teasing us with those pictures. That pho is crack cause pho is very very addictive.

I just got their house special beef noodle soup. It was really good. Soup was clear and there was a nice emphasis on the cilantro and onions. I'm assuming it's northern Vietnamese style?

Service was excellent and the people there were super friendly! :)

[Armind]

^ Hmm i'm sure the owner is nam, so i'm assuming it southern Vietnamese style? Not too sure, you could be right but meh.. their pho is yummy that's all that matters :P

[bcrdukes]

I've noticed a lot of northen Vietnamese people speak Cantonese (fluently too) and have the whole Confucian setup. Also, their broth is clearer from what I've noticed compared to say, southern Vietnamese style which is darker and heavier.

[Armind]

I never knew that o.o

[bcrdukes]

^
This is just an assumption through observation. I'm not Vietnamese so maybe somebody of ethnicity can chime in.

[Armind]

Ohh. Oh yeah! During the time when I spoke with the owner, he said he was the previous KIM HOANG restaurant owner a few years back. No wonder that place has went down hill. Happy that he's back into the restaurant business after a few years :)

If you want bad, you gotta go to Cambie and Broadway. There's a 24hr one there. Certain members on this board love it...I think the soup tastes off. They tell me it's an acquired taste.

[Nvasion]

that one on broadway/cambie i went there yesterday at about 2am and it was pretty packed... only 2 workers though, so i left because there was like 7 tables without food and the open tables were all filthy.

Nooch

New place in richmond, very very clean. Very different feel. Kinda like a Ramen stand.

Foods different, not the usual MSG ridden place.

http://www.dinehere.ca/restaurant.asp?r=3564

I suggest you guys try it out. The soup base is more basily tasting, and minimal to no msg.

+1, Nooch is good shit. They go light on the meat, though. But great atmosphere, decent prices and tasty food. The soup base is great, not too salty/MSG-y.

[distanc3]

went to "Vietnamese Restaurant" this morning

customer service is awesome, portion is average, level of MSG was quite low, large variety especially with appetizers, price is ~6.50 for a large pho

Overall its a good place, would recommend you guys to pay one visit. :)

at least the pho noodles actually look what I had in nam. In a ball, and not spread around like a soup.

I like the place down the street a little bit better. Plus they have duck pho.

[willystyle]

Thai Hang is awesome, they have some speciality noodle soup dishes.. you guys should check it out.. i love their shredded pork salad rolls and their beef brisket noodle soup..

imo, Le Petit Saigon is much better than Bao Chau, and is much cleaner..

[Razor Ramon HG]

Phnom Penh is the best shit, their fried chicken wings and spring roll are the best in Vancouver.

My buddy's family owns Phnom Penh, and until I went to it during the summer with him and realized how famous it was, I thought it was some shit/shady place since it was located in Chinatown :lol

[observer]

Phnom Penh is the best shit, their fried chicken wings and spring roll are the best in Vancouver.

Agree about the excellent fried chicken wings (and also squid) at Phnom Penh, but disagree on spring rolls.

Au Petit Cafe on 4851 Main has the best Vietnamese spring rolls in Vancouver.

For pho, our favourite goes to Pho Thai Hoa (both on Kingsway and in Richmond).

It's called Cafe Sua Hue on kingsway next to CDN tire. I think thats were alot of sketchy people hang out though, but I gotta check it out.

Has anyone tried Pho Linh? I saw there ad in the papers at Thai Son and it had a picture of a vietnamese mom with captions beside it saying something like "if you don't like it you don't have to pay for it!"

That was my first experience with Thai Son by the way, and I didn't enjoy their pho at all. The soup was luke warm, bland and easily overpowered by their spring rolls.

[jtrinh]

Pho Linh and Song Huong are known best for their Dac Biet Bo 3 Mon/Bo 7 Mon. go with a few friends and try it. Bo La Lot is awesome at both places too.
Pho Linh also does takeout for their Bo 3 Mon and the portions are very generous. probably even more so than eating in *hint hint* :thumbsup:

'cause we're family friends with the lady that runs the joint, we get special treatment each and every time. but regardless of who walks in her store, she'll treat you like a regular patron each and every time. thats how nice she is!
as for the pho, i've found it a bit better than Thai Son. Thai son is a hit and miss at times, usually cause they're always busy during meal hours. less attention and care put into their dishes.

[achiam]

Bao Chao's spring rolls are fucking awesome IMO, but their pho is inconsistent - some days are fine, others are loaded with too much salt.

'cause we're family friends with the lady that runs the joint, we get special treatment each and every time. but regardless of who walks in her store, she'll treat you like a regular patron each and every time. thats how nice she is!
as for the pho, i've found it a bit better than Thai Son. Thai son is a hit and miss at times, usually cause they're always busy during meal hours. less attention and care put into their dishes.

I went to try out Pho Linh yesterday, and like you said, the service was excellent. :thumbsup: The pho itself was decent but didn't have the clear broth that I was looking for.

Next stop is Le Do. :D

Pho Ba Le in Hawaii. Hot as shit that day but was craving pho

It actually wasn't bad. Soup was good, meat was good, noodles weren't too soggy. The beef balls tasted like chicken and was bleh.

$9 for a large pho but when you're craving it, you gotta do what you gotta do. I wouldn't go there regularly if I lived there tho.

[Armind]

Pho Vinh>All :D

[!SG]

haha, gangsta hangout...

but the food rocks! especially that fried chicken dish. i find they are more cambodian noodles than viet pho... but either way GOOD EATS!



My buddy's family owns Phnom Penh, and until I went to it during the summer with him and realized how famous it was, I thought it was some shit/shady place since it was located in Chinatown :lol

^So I tried Pho Vinh and it was the best pho I've had so far.

I've always pride myself of knowing where the best pho noodle houses are, but man was I misinformed. I thought pho thai hoa in Vancouver was the best but now I have a new favorite place.

I got my usual rare beef noodle soup. The portions of beef slices aren't as generous as Pho Tam, but the soup at pho vinh is AMAZING. I liked the noodles they used too as their thinner in width than other places. The lady who might be the owner was very nice as well as she recognized I wasn't a regular.

To give this review some perspective, I rate the following pho restuarants like this:

Pho Vinh > Pho thai hoa > Pho Town > Bao Chao > Thai Son > Pho Van > Vietnamese > Pho Tan > Pho Quyen

I've also been to some other ones but it's not really worth mentioning and I base this reiveiw on the soup base.

Yeah, the only bad thing about Pho Vinh is it's in Surrey. I live in Vancouver.

The drive back from Surrey always sucks balls because it takes forever to get on the highway. Going to Surrey isn't as bad of a problem. When I went the other day, I was caught without my seatbelt on. The cop who drove next to me just yelled accross the window. Phew.

[Armind]

Pho 101 just opened up on Hastings right beside Sushi Town.

I tired the house special with filet mignon, it was really good. The meat just melts in your mouth.

LIKE BUTTA!!!

[ShanghaiKid]

soooo.... back from pho vinh in surrey...

dukes was right, not really worth the drive unless you're from the area

got there and the restaurant was empty (given the hype from this thread, thought there'd be atleast a few tables), but that didn't stop me from trying it out

I was being typical and got the basic #1 with spring roll and a ice coffee, friends got the spicy soup based pho, etc.

Generally the only thing to really stand out for me was the soup base. It was relatively clear and very tasty compared to most pho places in the GVRD. Spring roll was a little overfried but otherwise decent (although small), and the coffee was just...well, coffee :P (dissapointed i didn't get to watch it filter and mix by myself though :( ).

Overall, my friends and I agree that the soup is worth going for, as long as you're in the area - but its being given too much credit from all the hype.

[bcrdukes]

^
While there are some die-hard Pho Vinh lovers here, I like the food and all, but it's just too far for me. I found the quality of noodles and beef were pretty good and the soup is great.

The coffee, not sure what to say about your experience but when I had the coffee that one time, it was awesome. But all in all, I would not go out of my way to go there unless I'm in the area.

[Armind]

Heck if there was a great bowl of Pho out in Van, I wouldn't go that far either. PV is the best i've found in my area =P

What's this dish called?

Same. When I was there, there were only 2 other tables.

The lady, who I pressume is the owner, is very nice. At the end, when I was paying she made small talk which I thought was nice. I've been to many pho joints and they never talk to you unless you're nammer.

PV FTW.

[Suprarz666]

Anyone try PHO101 yet beside sushi town burnaby?

The owner of PV is the only guy there. :haha:

I think it's still empty cause not too many people know about that place yet, they just opened for a year and 2 months (I tried it out during the grand opening week).

[LC21]

i heard pho tam near surrey central is pretty good as well.

[bcrdukes]

I went to Pho Tam and it was just okay at best. The turnoever is astromonically high so they sacrifice the quality in their food. It's a very "eat-pay-gtfo" type of restaurant.

[RouRK]

No to mention the surrounding is rather gross. I think Pho Vinh is much cleaner.

My current favourite is Pho Tai Hoa on Capstan Way.

Thai son on Garden City near Cambie is also good.

Nooch at Capstan Way and Garden City is a unique one (bigscreen flat panel HDTV, free wifi in a pho place lol).

I hear Pho Lan on #3 rd. is very good too, but I haven't been. Friends complain it's dirty so we never go.

[JHatta]

fuck just went to pho lan for a quick bite last night

place has gotten a fuckload dirtier inside, waitresses have gotten a fuckload stupider. food has stayed the same, but more expensive.

[bcrdukes]

Pho Lan is good value for what you pay, but nowhere in my books is it considered "good" pho. The place is far too dirty and the quality of food is sub-par. Better pho can be had elsewhere.

[gnu5]

Thai Son, on north road but it closed now....sigh....im starving right now....but im so lazy to go out and eat.... or even move

[nathaniel]

West Lake - it's chinese run so it may not be completely authentic. It's very clean though and the pho is pretty good.

their pho tastes like chinese soup, but their spring rolls make up for it. youre right, very chinese-y tasting rather than vietnamese.

pho lan in richmond across from city hall is the best imo.

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

[!SG]

stay away from Pho Viet in richmond in the same complex as Nando's by No3 Road on Ackroyd. every time ive gone here, they've managed to screw up my order. i tried ordering by name, nope, still screwed up the order, ordered by number, nope... its like 3 bloody items, how hard is it to screw up especially if u have a printed pad that has everything written down and all u have to do is checkmark things off.

last night was the last straw, large no1 house special, order of viet ham, and a salty plum soda. the bowl they gave was the size of the small bowl that my friend ordered, on top of that, they cheap out on everything BUT the pho. if i wanted just PHO, i would have ordered it. no viet ham, but 2 orders of fried spring rolls, and the salty plum soda was water + ice + 1/2 a salty plum. we asked if our order of viet ham was coming, he said "err yah yah," with a response like that, i knew we were fucked!

so we didnt touch 1 of the spring rolls, the guy doesnt remove it from our table after we told him he brought the wrong order, and after they disposed of it, the owner starts bitching about how we touched it and ate it so we should pay for it, on top of the order.

man, i use to love this place but its gone down him, did a google search and EVERYONE has said the same thing. our waiter looked like even he wont even touch the food there, and he's always giving attitude and this weird look to all the customers.

sigh, wont touch this place again, the attitude we got was just shit. weather its cheap eats or 3 star michelin, service should be at least at an acceptable level. on top of that, we heard them talk shit about us as we left.

I tried the Pho at Vina Vietnamese in Metro food court yesterday. It's a little pricey for what you get (I paid 5.63 taxes in for a small), but then again it is in the food court.

It was better than I was expecting. Soup was quite good in my opinion, and the serving size was alright. Definitely worth checking out if you want some Pho in Metrotown, but lazy to go anywhere else :lol

Great soup there... no joke. But it is a little bit more expensive than other places.

Went to Pho Vinh for the first time last week after hearing the rave reviews on here. Restaurant was clean, good lighting, and quaint. The service was quick and prompt, mind you it wasn't that busy. (Only two other tables served.)

I had the Pho Dac Biet special with a side of spring rolls (~$7.50-$8.00??) and iced milk coffee ($3.50) to drink. The broth was pretty good and it wasn't oily at all. Good meat to noodle portion and everything tasted fresh. The spring roll was a bit of a disappointment, it was the size of a crayon in length and about an inch in width? You can see it in the corner of my picture. The coffee was good, a tad bit on the stronger side but tasty..

Overall it was a good experience!

Found this through a recommendation located in the heart of Chinatown, New York. Spring rolls were junk - they were as hard as a rock but I think they were pre-made and frozen. Do not recommend.

Pho, however, was good. Pictured above is the "dac biet" which only consisted of the beef, tripe, and tendon. No beef balls. Broth was good, noodles were plentiful, beef was excellent and little to no MSG. Owned and operated by Chinese-Vietnamese people. There are several around town but this Pho Bang is just one of them. Highly recommended if you are in New York. :)

24 hour place on broadway and cambie has the absolute worst salad rolls i have ever eaten. 1 bite and you will throw it away. It was disgusting. Their pho is not very good either. I have eaten there quite a few times because theres nothing else open. Last resort.

[TheSalesman11]

ok so i finally tried pho vinh. I didn't find it all that great. I had the pho dac biet like i usually do and the portion is not very big. soup was just ok, nothing special. Maybe it was all the hype that it is one of the best? Pho Tam > Pho Vinh.
Suong Huong or however you spell it is still my all time fav. The bun bo hue there is the best iv ever had.

so far brought 6 friends there, and they all gave a :thumbsup:

The quality of broth, beef, and noodles at Pho Vinh are pretty good. The downside to all of this is the amount of MSG they put into their broth which unfortunately, is a turnoff.

[6insomnia9]

Just had pho at nainamo and broadway, its not bad but it isn't Le do.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Alright guys, next time I'm going to Surrey, I'm going to either Pho Tam or Pho Vinh. Which one should I go try first?

[bcrdukes]

I would try Pho Tam and then Pho Vinh but for either or, I would only go if you were going for Surrey with a specific purpose.

FYI, do not park at Safeway unless you plan on going inside to buy something before going to Pho Tam. I got ticketed and the parking patrol crew are fiesty fuckers there.
