[b-dub]

Since there was a 'Best Taiwanese Noodle House' I thought we would have a best pho restaurant too.


Hoang?? on Main and 18th..

Pho isn't that great, but it's the best viet food ever, Phnom Penh, chinatown

[bcrdukes]

I don't think Phnom Penh ever really served real "pho" so to say. Ulic and I were really desperate one time and decided to hit up that joint. Boy, we were ever disappointed!

Back on topic however, I personally like Pho Le Do on East Hastings just off Nanaimo and Le Petit Saigon on East Hastings just off Slocan, to be the best pho restaurants in East Vancouver. I haven't explored anywhere else outside of Vancouver and even if I have, never found any to be as good as the two I've mentioned. Pho Tai Son is okay. I used to like it but it came off my list not long ago.

Shiet, Phnom Penh doesn't really serve pho, but fuck their food is good.

Le Petit Saigon just recently got sold off to some new owners and now it sucks donkey balls. (You're talking about the one that is close to PNE, right?) If it was still the old owners, omg, they place was the shit for your beef noodle cravings. Good quality soup + meats. Since my dad knows the owners, they'd always hook it up in the bun bo hue with extra tendons and pigs feet.

I haven't really been anywhere else that's been good that I would recommend 100%.

[bcrdukes]

^
I noticed they renovated and the new owners don't take as much pride in their food and they don't have quite the personal encounter with regular customers as with the previous owners. Although the quality in food has degraded slightly, it's still one of my favourites. But yeah, like you mentioned, the quality of their broth and meats were top-notch in my opinion. :)

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

since i only eat pho late at night, when everything is closed. cambie and broadway is the only place open. i swear they put crack in their pho, cuz i'm always fucking wide awake after.

[willystyle]

Yah, I kind of miss seeing Peter and his fam taking orders and making food for my friends and I to eat.. I must say though, the food quality has stayed pretty consistent..

[achiam]

Personally, I find that the following are outstanding:

Pho Van on Fraser/14th; very consistent flavor with well marbled meat.

Kim Phung on Victoria/41st; slow service as very small restaurant but very consistent broth and noodles

Bao Chao on E Hastings near PNE; the spring rolls are amazingly consistent.

Pho Tam in Surrey near King George station; possibly the best and most pure broth I've ever had.

Pho Viet on Ackroyd behind Nando's chicken; my high school buddies and I went here everyday in High School, still very good meat.

Pho Lan across from Richmond City Hall on No 3/Granville, noodles have a strange texture, may not be to everyone's liking.

I feel I should mention however, that San Francisco's Pho kills Vancouver's Pho.
I thought I knew everything about Pho until my friends in SF asked me if I wanted to go for Northern or Southern Pho and I had no idea what they were talking about. True story.

"Southern Pho"
http://dafoozeking4.googlepages.com/IMG_0698small.jpg

"Northern Pho"
http://dafoozeking4.googlepages.com/phosmall.jpg

[willystyle]

^ If you think the spring rolls at Bao Chau tastes good, you should try the ones down the block at Le Petit Saigon. It's much better, imo.

[Meowjin]

Le petit Saigon Sucks.

Bao chao is so much more better.

They only served good duck.

[Ronin]

Pho Lan in Richmond, by far.

Phnom Phen is the shit. They have the best fried chicken wings and...uh...beef carpacio? I've never had soup noodles their but their special dry noodles are awesome.

[Vansterdam]

^ gotta agree with ronin on that one. chicken wings fucken rock.

gotta also agree on

Kim Phung on Victoria/41st;
pho tam by surrey central

the portion of bbq/springroll/noodle dish at pho van is nig and delicious

I think I may have spelt it wrong which is why you're getting bad results. I think it's spelt "Le Petite Saigon." I may be wrong. It's on East Hastings just west of Renfrew between Kaslo and Slocan. You'll see it just west of the Burger King on the same block as the Starbucks.

I haven't been to Kim Phung in a long time but their pho is good. Thanks for reminding me. I forgot about that place. As for Bao Chau, I personally don't think it's that good. Compared to Le Petite Saigon, I always have to chug down endless glasses of water and their spring rolls aren't even that great to be really honest. Pho Van - a Vancouver institution. It's too bad Mr. Van sold the one in Chinatown. I grew up in Chinatown so my parents would take me to Pho Van every now and then. The only one he has left is the one on Fraser.

achiam: Damn, that looks really good! :) You mentioned that was southern style pho. What was different about it? Judging by the picture, I was under the impression that any typical place in Vancouver served southern pho which is your first picture. I was told that Kim Phung served so-called southern style where the broth is a little heavier on the spices and is darker in complexion but judging by your photos, it looks like it's the opposite? When I was in Paris, I had pho in Saint Lazare and the family that ran the joint was from southern Vietnam and that's what it looked like (your picture of northern pho.)

I guess it's time to go out and to find out for myself. :)

Seems like me and you have quite similar tastes. My mom used to take us to Pho Van all the fuckin' time cuz it was kick ass. We'd order che ba mao and other stuff. I'm not a big fan of Bao Chau either, the time I had it it was nothing special and super loaded with MSG. I absolutely miss the old Le Petite Saigon, I loved that place dearly.

I didn't know there was still a Pho Van around. Gotta check out that place.

I'll ask my parents about the Southern vs Northen Pho...since my dad is from the north and my mom from the south and see what I can get out of them.

[Spoon]

Thai son is still in Richmond?

If you're referring to the No 3 Road location across from Richmond Center Mall, the whole plaza's been closed for the longest time.

According to this site on pho (http://www.phofever.com/facts.php) I quote, "Northern style pho tends to be simpler and is made with less ingredients. There are fewer cuts of meat and small slices of ginger are laid on top of the soup. The pho is served without bean sprouts or herbs. Instead, it is accompanied by green chilies and lime only. Southern style pho is a complex dish made from a dozen ingredients. Bean sprouts, fresh basil and saw herb are typically served with each bowl. As with the Northern style pho, green chilies and lime are used as condiments."

So I guess there really are no places that serve real Northern style pho? My closest guess would have been Au Petit Cafe and maybe Kim Phung.

I was told that Northern Pho holds greater influence from Chinese cuisine, and as a result the noodles are somewhat thicker, almost like chinese "hoh fun" noodles. The broth is also simpler as it gives a distinct, clear flavor whereas Vancouver-type Southern pho broth is quite complex, having been prepared with spices and star anise etc. The other difference is that they give lots of chopped onions on top, and have a wider emphasis on different types of meat balls.

I haven't gone to Paris yet, but will go in February. Surprisingly, the Vietnamese area in Berlin had quite good pho as well, but nothing compared to San Francisco.

[honda_h2o]

So how exactly to do judge wether a certain Pho location is better than another?

ive been to a couple in Richmond and they all taste the same to me. Now your talking to a Chinese person right now with pretty open taste to any type of food.

But Pho is basically Hot Soup and prepped up raw stuff put into the soup.

im not belittle vietnamese food but i want to know how to judge how it is good compared to others.

Hmm... I suppose it just tastes different and will have a taste of "quality" if its good. NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING beats home made pho that's been boiling for most of the day with all the proper ingredients. Once you have a taste of that shit...nothing is every the same afterwards. My aunt made some one time...holy shit. That's all I can say. I think I ate like 5 big bowls of pho. Sadly, I haven't visited her every since.

That place stank of raw meat and had flies hovering all over their neon lights. I thought things couldn't get any worse until these hookers (fat ones at that) decided to stand right outside the window 1 foot away from me.

[HOTSHOTKEN]

^^^ hey, that goes with the territory!! ;) What did you expect? haha...

i tend to grab takeout from them more now ... $7.50 for a lemon grass chicken and i'm out of there within 5 minutes. One time the old guy charged me $8 for it and I think I got more chicken & rice.

Again, good to satisfy the craving late at night, but this is not a place to admire the ambiance.

Not pho, but Phnom Pehn is easily my favourite Vietnamese/Cambodian place. I've been going there for ... gosh... more years than I'm willing to admit to ;)

Pho Van as mentioned is a good place. When I'm there though, I typically order the dry rice vermicelli with pork, spring rolls and veggies. I swear, it's an infinite bowl of food. Hits the spot when I don't want to be weighed down by salty broth.

Nobody has mentioned Buu Dien near Rupert and First, across the street from Blockbuster Video. Good subs - their grilled pork sub is, IMO, definitely worth killing for. About 5 years ago, Buu Dien had a killer sandwich shop at a stripmall on Fraser and 18th or so. Before it burned down, it rocked something fierce to the tune of 4 or 5 subs for $10! The subs at the Rupert location are still good but no longer as cheap.

I go there sometimes myself but it's been a while. From what I can recall, their food is pretty good too!

I don't think that place is very good. The subs are not that good at all. Food is mediocre. I am a bit harsh though. I would only recommend places that I have 100% faith in that the person would like. I was recommeded to go to this place based on their subs and their food, but when I went there everything sucked, including the service.

Correct. Best subs in town. But apparently according to the guy above this they moved!?

[6insomnia9]

Bao Chao is the best, i've had.

[bcrdukes]

bump of an old thread.

I had pho in Dresden, Germany. It was tasty but they used the same noodles found in pad thai so unfortunately, the noodles got soggy and the beef used was cheap sirloin. I had pho in Calgary - it comes close to Vancouver but it's way too clean to be good. :)

[Chopstick]

omg (>___<)
whyyy do u eat pho in germany!?
u must eat the pig hocks!!!

but for ppl who say pho lan is only okay at best, yes its true - u must order only the spicy one!! (@__@)!!

Yeah I don't usually get the soup.

Anyone been to Pho Tan on Main and 33rd? That place is worth trying out. I have their bun bo he and it was awwwwwwwwwwwsommmmmmmmmmmmeeeee. That shit is like crack. Thankfully I don't have a car or else I'd drive myself there to eat pho.

yessir! tell the truth and shame the devil!

on the other hand i've been hitting up surrey's pho tam.

the noodles are are kinda chewy.....so fucking good ! the soup is perfect! and the meat is bountiful!!! godbless that place

[bcrdukes]

Pho Thai Son is not what it used to be. I don't go there anymore.

Pho in Surrey? As good as you make it seem, I would not go anywhere over the Patullo or Port Mann Bridge for pho. :lol

Here in Toronto, on the other hand, a few minutes away from my hotel at Spadina and Dundas is Pho 88 which is pretty good. Their "house special" is nothing like what we get in Vancouver. It's missing a tonne of the meats but damn, the noodles are perfect and the soup is wicked, however loaded with MSG galore. :p

[Vansterdam]

^ You'd be suprised at how good surrey pho is, lol if your willing to try pho in texas, and toronto and crap give surrey pho a try

pho tam by surrey central

and

pho tau bay also in surrey

I had pho everyday for about 5 days in paris 2 weeks ago. I lived near the Chinatown (which is really more cambodian/laos/burma influence). The pho broth i had there was very clear - kinda like Pho Tam in surrey where you taste only one clear flavor instead of a mumbo jumbo of spice flavors.
I had heard and read from many that Paris pho is the best in the world as the viet/burma/cambodia ppl fled here during the civil wars and learned to cook Pho in French ways but I could not appreciate anything noticeably French about the Pho. Here is a picture though:

[Alphamale]

Nothing to do with Pho, but I just ate some french bread with pâté on it from Ba Le. Fucking yums!

[Ch28]

Went to Le Do on Hastings today and thought it was pretty good. Spring rolls were delicious and service was good. The younger waitress girl was pretty cute but I was kinda thrown off because she had dark tanned skin and looked like a Brazilian girl or something haha. Good thing I went right before noon because the place started to get packed around 12:15-12:30

[winson604]

Apparently Tai-Son has reopened in richmond at a new location.

Yes they opened in the Plaza at Garden City and Alderbridge. The plaza where the old Hot Shots used to be. But the Tai Son is located on the North side of the plaza near the back part.

[winson604]

Bao Chao is the best, i've had.

Wouldn't say it's the best I've had but I love blocks from this place and it's pretty decent place overall SO i go often

I still miss the old place on Main and 21st. sigh where did they go!!!

[sweetiee]

Pho Hong is the bEsssttTest ~ =)

tai son is above the old mobile corner. just take the elevator up. to be honest, its the cleanest pho restaurant i've been to so far and the decor is nice too.

[white_solara]

pho lan on granville and no.3 richmond is pretty good too

[bcrdukes]

Pho Hong is the bEsssttTest ~ =)

Where is this Pho Hong you speak of and why is it good?

[Alphamale]

^What the fuck is up with your avatar? I think the Pho Hong he's talking about is the one in Burnaby right in front of Wedy's and beside the Chrysler dealership. That place is shit. Seriously. It's fucking terrible.

[bcrdukes]

You like Hello Kitty better? :)

Okay I know which one you're talking about. It's expensive, the interior is drab but the girls who work there can be pretty hot.

[Alphamale]

I can't really wack it to either picture, so I'm indifferent. It's just that...I didn't expect it, lol.

[BaoXu]

so i went to pho tam again...ordered a #8 large holy fuck... so much meat!!!

then i went to newtown bakery and then ate 2 baos after.

lol... i'm a monster

I went to Pho Tau Bay today. The food came out really quickly and there was a tonne of beef in their pho dac biet but Holy Jesus spare me a cow for the Hindus, there was jut way too much beef that made it suck balls! The broth was overall, pretty good, however the quality of noodles was t3h gay! :(

Super disappointed in this place! :mad:

[kenshi3]

Theres a food court up at "gum chong" mall .. its very good. its brand new opened so give it a try. all i remember is it has the cow sign. haha

[BaoXu]

http://jerle.free.fr/blog/images/restaurant-alimentation/vache_qui_rit.jpg

was it this cow?

[bcrdukes]

Oh, I went to that Pho Tam place you Surrey folk keep on recommending. I went there today only because I had to go to the switch, otherwise, I'd probably never go. :p

Yes, it was pretty tasty! Broth was good, Noodles were excellent, meat servings were just right, lime, basil and diced jalepenos! Oh, and their coffee was awesome! :D

http://www.aspirationmedia.ca/misc/photam.jpg

Thanks for the recommendation! Pho Tam gets my thumbs up of approval! :)

[RCubed]

+1X10^99 for Pho Tam.
Our family goes there every Sunday and we live in westvan lol.

[bcrdukes]

They need some hot dirty Nammer girls working there, though. Other than that, the joint was ghetto and the food was good. Doesn't get any better than that! :D

[bcrdukes]

My pho stop in Los Angeles @ Pho 36 on Western Ave (K-town.)

http://www.aspirationmedia.ca/misc/la/pho36.JPG

Pho was good but it was loaded with MSG which made lost a lot of points. I like how they give you a side tray with bean sprouts, onions, chopped cilantro, and basil. Wasn't too bad but again, too much MSG. :)

[willystyle]

Well, you are in a part of town where it's filled with korean restaurants and bars. I wouldn't expect good pho to be found there.

[bcrdukes]

I've found pho to be pretty much the same throughout the Los Angeles and Orange counties. :\

[rice cooker]

Well... Are the daughters hot?
holy shit the daughter is fucking hot

[godwin]

Not sure what's the big deal with Pho Tam..

It is next to Surrey skytrain in a real sketchy neighbourhood.. the exterior strip mall is DTES filthy.

The Pho is more expensive compared with chains like Thai Son... not by much but say 1 buck in a 6 bucks meal is quite a bit.

The thing that really turns me off.. the chef/ cooks help other helpers to go outside and dump the garbage and walk back in and cook again as if nothing have happened!?

Yuck!

[KuroiSamurai]

^What the fuck is up with your avatar? I think the Pho Hong he's talking about is the one in Burnaby right in front of Wedy's and beside the Chrysler dealership. That place is shit. Seriously. It's fucking terrible.

Their Bun Bo Hue is really good though, absolutely love it.

Since I live in Burnaby and don't like driving too far for food... Pho Hong is the place I frequent the most, any other suggestions would be great, girlfriend and I also like that late night Pho, but Pho Hoa is disgusting.

I quest for the best Bun Bo Hue though... and so far Pho Hong's delivers it quite well. HOwever when I FIRST Went there a good six months ago, they had near perfect Bun Bo Hue, the PERFECT texture of the noodles and PERFECT soup.

However two months ago that disappeared.

Now it's just average Pho...

[rice cooker]

a good pho restaurant has to be ghetto.

thats why gross shit like pho hoa is an epic fail

[godwin]

I don't think that gross environment and good pho goes hand in hand.. Thai Son etc are pretty clean and good and yet they are chain restaurants.

Seriously? I find their soup to be so bland and their noodles are always soft and over done. I find Pho Hoa down the street much much better. It's interesting how people's tastes differ so much.

That Pho Hoa on Kingsway near Pho Hong is actually NOT BAD compared to the one near Nanaimo. That one is absolutely GROSS!

Any other recommendations for Pho in the North Burnaby area?

[604REALDEAL]

Pho Vinh in Surrey! They just opened for nearly 2 months now. It's pretty darn close to Guildford mall (Inside Impact Plaza beside Bubbleworld, if you don't know where that is. Look for T&T Supermarket/Tommy Lee Music!) The quality of their food is absolutely delicious! Not to mention, it's probably the cleanest pho place I have ever been to in Surrey. Parking space is absolutely no problem at all (One of the thing that drives me crazy at times). Give it a try sometime, I swear you won't be disappointed!

Opens from 10AM - 10PM (I know this because I pretty much go there 3-4 times a week for lunch and sometimes for dinner!)

According to her this is the best place in Van and their Pho is made and taste authentic just like the way they do it in Vietnam. I ain't nam, I haven't tried, so I don't know shiet. Will update later when I try.

[bbbj]

Is it just me or has there been a recent influx of nammer restaurants in richmond over the last half year?

[Death2Theft]

Is Thai son on broadway open again?

[Vansterdam]

should be i was there last week lol

[Soundy]

Hey, maybe you folks can help me... my wife went for her first pho when she was in Calgary a few months ago, and had some sort of rice-curry-chicken pho that she just loved. She's been wanting to find a place out here that has something similar. We tried Pho Hoa, and it was good, but they didn't have the particular soup she wanted. Any suggestions?

[bcrdukes]

^
Hmm...I've never heard of such a dish before. A rice-curry chicken pho? That is new to me and it has me befuddled. :confused: Would like to know where this is served! :)

[Soundy]

Sorry... coconut-curry. She had the straight-up chicken pho yesterday, said it was like that, but with a coconut-curry broth.

Sounds pretty damn yummy, I agree. I had the hot'n'sour seafood pho, that was pretty awesome too!

[loyanga]

The owner of thai son sold the place when the canada line was being built to them for like 600k or something redicilous like that.

I went to a good place on some street... all i know is there is a gas station, a italian resteeraunt accross the street, and i think a dry cleaner? It was around rupert street.


thai son richmond is in garden city plaza (where the self-washing car place is)
its upstairs on the right side of the mall if you're coming in from garden city

Any pho on the north shore? I work there and I've been craving a good pho for lunch lately...

[bcrdukes]

Closest major intersection would be Fraser and King Edward, on the north side of Fraser.

[Mr.JDM]

http://members.shaw.ca/volvoman/index/pics/Pictures/Pho/IMG_0967.JPG

[chr1s]

anyone have any experiences with the pho place like a block away from lougheed mall? it's in that plaza... i forgot the name

[LsquareD]

Song Huong on Nanaimo and First. I'm going there soon! Yummy

[willystyle]

^ Besides their Bun Bo Hue, what else is so special about Song Huong?

Everything else there tastes average to me, especially their Vermicelli noodles, it's below par.

[Vansterdam]

^ i agree their bun bo hue keeps me going back lol

[CRS]

I went to Vietnamese Restaurant today...

It was good. I have the house pho special and it was tasty and the spring rolls. Everything I ate was good and the service was very friendly.

And yes, the name of the restaurant is vietnamese restaurant.

[bcrdukes]

^
On Main, just off King Ed, right? Been meaning to try this place. :)

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.

Thai Hang

corner of E hastings and lakewood dr in east van

$6.50 for large pho dat biet

comes with free desert too at the end.

[willystyle]

^ Yah I've been going to that place quite regularly in the past few years. They have really good Beef Brisket Rice Noodle Soup and they make really good rice dishes and vermicelli bowl noodles as well. Their Pho is average, but everything else is pretty good. Im a huge fan of their salad rolls.
