    Beef Brisket Pho. Very average.
    Mori N.

    In my Junior High school we had this cafeteria lady who was terrifying. You lined up straight, made no eye contact, moved the line and for your own safety remembered your "Please" and "Thank You"....and then maybe you got your pizza slice. I am Pho Coquitlam reminded me of the good 'ol' days of high school cafeteria. The only difference was it wasn't just the host that was rude but everyone that worked there just seemed pissed off. We sat for about 20 min before being given a menu. I almost left and now I wish I had, because it got worse. Luke warm tea Dirty menus Wet floor no one bothered with Annoyed looks Very average food. Bon Apetit!

    Pho with beef steak, brisket and meat balls

    Good pho with steak, brisket and beefballs beef balls. The regular was a good portion with lots of meat. I would have appreciated if they provided some Thai basil along with the bean sprouts and lemon given. We came a busy lunch period. Expect a no nonsense type of service when coming here.

    Tofu Pho
    Erendira L.

    Great food! I love coming here during my visits to Coquitlam. The service is not terrible, but if you're in a rush - don't expect fast service. But the staff is all very friendly. I always order the Tofu Pho. This place sets the standards for me when it comes to good Pho. It's very tasty, they give you a healthy portion and the veggies are steamed just right. My coworker loves the Lemongrass Chicken Pho and swears it's the best! Go check this place out if you're in the area!

    Veggie pho (vegan)
    Matt B.

    Very solid pho with a separate vegetarian menu with plenty to choose from. I stopped in for a quick lunch having seen that they have a veggie pho (with veggie broth; $15.50 plus tax). My soup came out in about 10-15 minutes in a massive bowl. There was a good portion of medium-width rice noodles, lots of deep fried tofu, and mixed veggies (green cabbage, broccoli, carrot, red and green onion). The broth was nicely salty, with just enough sweetness to balance, making it quite addictive, though without the flavour depth of some of the top Greater Van spots. Filling, reasonably priced and fairly tasty. Worth checking out if you're out this way

    We've just move to Burnaby few months ago, first time visiting this lovely restaurant. Our opinion of Greater Van pho so far are 'it's hard to find a decent bowl of pho', and thus we've been trying multiple places throughout the months. Taste 0.5/1* Me and the wife both ordered pho (P7 for me & P15 for her) Pregnant wife found the texture of the brisket to be too chewy, I thought it was acceptable She liked the noodle texture, where as for me I found it too undercooked/hard Overall taste was ok, definitely get that MSG overload feel after, will give 0.5 for the split decision on noodle and meat Value 0/1* Bubble tea slightly more expensive than other places at $6.85, but pearls included Banh mi noticeably pricier at $11.xx including a pop Service 1/1* Had to wave a server down to get our order in after no one coming by 15min after sitting, but other than that nothing too bad Cleanliness 0.5/1* Good Reno and clean out front, but washroom was like a whole other world, dirty, messy and cleaning supplies on floor, makes one wonder what's going on in the kitchen Chipped Dinning wear also a cause for concern Overall/Revisit 0/1* As we have already found another spot that we enjoy more and closer to us, likely wouldn't make the trip out here just for pho Paying for ambience? YES Above and beyond? 0/+1*

    Big thick pho noodle

    Attention: No MSG added. I am allergic to MSG therefore it is hard to have soup food outside. I Am Pho is one of the rare pho place that make their broth without MSG. I ordered a big special house bowl with plenty of beef slices and other toppings. The store is bright, staff are extremely lovely.

    Vietnamese iced coffee
    JT C.

    One of those lazy days so needed to find a place for a late quick lunch before heading downtown for dinner at Riley's for the first time. Finally decided on this place, probably passed by this place many times when shopping or going to the movies at this plaza but first time here. Parking is easy since the plaza's customers parking is quite decent and this plaza has quite a few different restaurants; Chinese cafe, Greek, sushi, ABC country restaurant, A&W, Wendys, etc... and of course Cactus club across the street. Anyways, walked into the restaurant and promptly seated because it was pretty empty except for one table. The restaurant was clean, quite spacious, and everything look quite new. I believe the restaurant has been recently renovated? Here were the food we ordered; 1. Deep fried chicken wings. They had a medium crunch, the meat were hot and juicy in the middle, but a bit too oily. However a bit lazy and messy with the presentation?? 2. Vietnamese iced coffee. It was average, not bad or not great, but it was a couple of dollars more here then at most Vietnamese restaurants. 3. House special pho. The soup was hot, good! The noodle was good and just the right amount of meat, no more no less. Whether there are msg in the soup or not, well my mouth gets dry fast when there's msg and my mouth was getting a bit dry. 4. Bun Bo Hue. Once again the soup came hot so that's always a good start and have a nice distinct bun bo hue flavour to it so that's a bonus. Overall, the food here were decent but definitely some of the dishes needed to improve on the presentation aspect. And where the heck are my basil, chili peppers or jalapeños slices, and the shredded veggies for the bun bo hue? The restaurant was spacious and clean with AC so quite comfortable eating a hot bowl of pho even with the summer heat outside. As for service wise, let's just say; you order, you eat, you go up to the counter and pay, and you walk your butt out the door. Most likely not a repeat for me.

    I would rate this restaurant 3.5 stars. This pho restaurant has been renovated and decorated nicely comparing to other pho places. They use nicer chairs and tables. The customers definitely feel more comfortable. We ordered three bowls of pho and a dish of pork chop and shrimp with vermicelli. Surprisingly the dish of pork chop and shrimp with vermicelli arrived before the three bowls of pho. We had been waiting for a long time for the pho. Not sure why. We also noticed that two customers came in before us who also waited for their food for a long time. Finally we could taste the pho. The soup base had a very strong MSG. It definitely tasted different from other pho. The pho had a thin and wide rice noodles. I felt like I was eating the Chinese rice noodles in soup, but with beef and pho soup base. The pricing was reasonable for the quality of food and the ambience of the restaurant. The customer service was average. There is a sharing parking lot in the complex, so customers don't need to worry about parking.

    Beef Stew

    Great service! Food was also good, serving size is also reasonable Place was also very clean and maintained.

    They use wide rice noodles. I kinda like that idea
    Paul S.

    Came back here and the broth was extremely bland. I asked the server why it was lacking flavour. He said I had added too much bean sprouts and it diluted the flavour. I told him that never in my life have I ever heard that about pho before. I always add bean sprouts and in no way shape or form does it alter the taste. He brought me back a sample of the broth from the kitchen and it tasted the exact same... bland! Didn't bother to finish it and he didn't even offer me a different dish. So I won't be coming back.

    Veggie pho $11
    Ally S.

    Veggie pho #26 ($12 I think) This time around it didn't come with tofu. The broth itself didn't have much of its own flavour this time, but after I added hoisin, chili oil and sriracha, it was defiantly better! I will say that I've had better veggie pho for cheaper, so I probably won't be coming back here. Still good service though. Veggie pho $11: veggie broth, tofu, broccoli, carrots. I tried the broth before I added chili oil and hoisin. It actually had taste and it wasn't just boulder water. Personally, I would have liked it a lot more if there were at least one more veggie in there, but I know that broccoli and carrots are the usual... just saying that cauliflower would be nice. Pretty good service too!

    Salad rolls look bad, price high at $9.00..avoid this place .
    Stacey M.

    Bad food, not tasty salad rolls don't have any good Thai basil inside cheap deli meat also priced at nine dollars for four small rolls avoid this place way better places to go

    If you like Vietnamese food and live in the Coquitlam arra you'll be happy to hear there is a new Vietnamese restaurant in town! They restaurant just recently opened and is currently offering 20% off grand opening promo until the end of June. The price is a little bit higher than most Vietnamese restaurants but the flood is very fresh and tasty! I ordered the lemongrass chicken with spring rolls on rice. The chicken is one of the best marinated lemongrass chicken I have tried so far! It was generously seasoned with spices and lemongrass which gave the chicken a lot more flavor. There are plenty of parking around and it is great place four a quick dine before or after movies or bowling that is right around the corner.

The new location is in Richmond near the Richmond Oval, across where T&T use to be. The space is pretty big, and clean, with around 10 tables spaced out. There's definitely room to put in more tables, but I think they want to test it out. Everything on the menu looks delicious. We ordered No.9 on the noodle soup, with eye round steak, well-done brisket, fatty brisket, soft tendon & beef tripe, and a couple of spring rolls. The price is very reasonable, within $20 for a bowl of pho, and there was also a 10% off for the soft opening, The broth is rich and tasty, however on the salty side. I would suggest to squeeze the lime into the broth to balance out the salty taste. Portion is pretty big as we couldn't finish in one go. I like how clear the broth is, and a lot of meat it comes with. It's well balanced. The rice roll is made out of rice paper, instead of the spring roll paper. Be aware that it's going to be sticky on your teeth, haha. I personally not a fan, but I know it's authentic. The service was pretty good, a little slow since it just opened, but the servers are nice and friendly. It's a family business, and they all use to work in the Coquitlam location. It's pretty busy during lunch hours, and I have no doubt that it will slowly build up to the community. I mean, who doesn't like a good bowl of pho in winter?

My favourite is the smoked duck but the lemongrass chicken is also delicious. I absolutely love cilantro and they are generous with it, so if it's not for you, just ask them to omit. There are a few tables available for those who wish to eat in. It's a nice and clean spot with very pleasant staff. They have an online ordering system but I've only used it a few times. It's nice to order while I'm there, as the people are so friendly and it's nice to chat while my food or drinks are being prepared. They have excellent juice and smoothie options as well as Vietnamese coffee. They bake their bread and Kouign Amann pastries fresh every day which makes all the difference. I'm glad to have this place as a lunch option when I go to the office. In fact, my company will also order sandwiches from Minh when we have a special event or something at the office.
