    The Westbank equivalent of the great Chinese restaurants in Vancouver Chinatown in the 60s! This Vietnamese place (not a chain franchise) is well worth the visit. Food is v good and service excellent, and reasonable prices. My only issue is that since it is so popular, it's also jammed with people, so it is pretty loud, which is an issue for some of us with hearing problems! Given that, we will be back!

    Well organized and very very clean space!

    We always love coming here when in town, we are glad to be in this very lovely family owned restaurant, the vibe here is always positive and inviting! Even though the space is not too big at all, they did an excellent job in making sure dinners and take out customers have lots of space and well organized, tables and chairs are all sanitized after each service, and the owner made sure everyone and I mean everyone that comes through the door has to sanitize their hands! Food is always top notch and especially I love their grilled meats, be it chicken, pork or beef short ribs all grilled to perfection with a very enticing charred flavour! I am already looking forward to my next visit when I am in town again! Hopefully very soon!

    The food was perfectly made, the service is amazing. Requested no pork at the table. That was honoured very well. The waiters were very kind and accommodating.

    This place offers great Vietnamese food at a very affordable price. According to the restaurant, they are rated the number one place for Vietnamese food in the area. Since they are situated downtown next to the Kelowna library, free-parking is a bit hard to find on the weekdays. On the weekends, the garage is free. After ordering a bowl of pho and vermicelli noodles, the food came out after a reasonable 10 minutes. They portions were huge. The only reason I give this place 4 stars is because I found the vermicelli to be a bit bland and under-seasoned.

    This is definitely the best pho I've had in Kelowna. The service was fast and the staff were super friendly. We definitely will be back.

    for a pho place way out in kelowna...i must say...amazing!! from the service, ambiance, covid protocols to the food! you will love it! after a long drive, felt hungry and craving pho. saw this place from the corner of my eye while driving and we decided lets go!! the broth was very very good. comparable to pho places in vancouver. almost no msg, as you don't feel thirsty like a camel afterwards. beef was succulent and tender...noodles were cooked just right. the lemongrass chicken is a bit different from what im used to but its flavours were unique. think of it as a vietnamese chicken teriyaki. lol hit this place up on the way to enjoying the okanagan lake and you wont be disappointed. cheers! happy eating!

    I was craving Asian food in Kelowna so I visited this restaurant. The plating and presentation of the food were nice, yet the taste was adequate. However, the fried spring roll was interesting since it was fried as if it was a tempura. It was very crispy and tasty. Moreover, the lemongrass chicken had very small portions of chicken and was mostly greens, which was unexpected. Lastly, the rare beef pho's meat seemed very old so it was quite disappointing. Overall, the service was ok, and the food was slightly disappointing. However, I think this is the best Asian food option available in Kelowna, thus if you lower your Vancouverite Asian food expectations, then this place would be good.

    Lemongrass tofu bowl with sweet chilli sauce instead of fish sauce. Very nice mix of fresh veggies, noddles and golden fried tofu.

    Vietnamese and Japanese. Quality is excellent. Food is fresh and tasty. Service is genuine and…read morefriendly. Ambiance is totally unworthy of the great food. This place deserves a Gordon Ramsey interior design makeover! Meantime - it's really 4-Star food!

    Pho lovers and wagyu beef lovers, listen up! You will get both in a hearty warm bowl here. The…read morebroth was also from wagyu beef. I gotta say that the broth was the most phenomenal! The rich and clear broth had multiple layers of flavours with some underlying sweetness. You would want to continue to drink it. As I didn't feel thirsty due to MSG, I would recommend it more. The flavour was a solid 5-star for this small size of Pho House Special. The value was a 3-star though. Overall is a 3.5-star. For 20 bucks I got one thin piece of rare wagyu beef, one thin piece of beef flank, 3 pieces of one third of beef ball, and 4 to 5 very thin pieces of tripe. The amount of pho noodles were adequate for a size small. The texture of the pho was a tad less al dente than my liking, but it was still good, not too soft. At the end, I thought something was missing, but I didn't pay too much of an attention. A few hours later, I checked the menu again. Tendon it is! There was zero tendon in my bowl. Perhaps the chef forgot about it during a standard lunch hour. The dining room was about 70% full at the time. I would go again to try other dishes if I happen to be in the area again on a business trip. They serve sushi as well. Their appetizers looked good, too. It's an interesting Vietnamese/Japanese restaurant. The servers were nice. The service was fast. Parking was super easy in the outdoor mall parking lot.
