    Service was not great. The staffers seemed to have issues with seating a party of 5. They didn't have enough teacups, and missed giving us the beansprouts/mint for our pho. They also didn't give us enough utensils and we had to ask multiple times for utensils as the server kept forgetting. Food took quite a while to come out, over 30 minutes waiting, multiple tables waited for their food. Overall the food was okay. The beef was pretty tough but the portion size was good. Not the best pho food I have had, and the service really dragged down the evening experience.

    Haven't been here in years! Spring rolls are nice and crispy! The #4 pho is the perfect kind of broth for my sister and the noodle and beef/ beef ball texture is just right. Their S12 pork Bahn Mi is also really good. So good we ordered 2. Nice patio seating for lunch!

    Open till midnight all week!

    Haven't been back for a while, way before I was on Yelp; I used to come here with my co-workers for quick lunches when they are relatively new and the parking at the mall where the restaurant is in was not that crazy. But as times goes, the mall and the restaurant both became very busy so we stopped coming as we all have limited time for lunch. Fast forward, the mall is still crazy with parking and the restaurant still busy! And it is still open till mid-night! With virtually no other Pho places in Richmond that open till late (only exception being Pho Hoa near Landsdowne Mall), its a great alternative of ordering Pizza or going to Church's...and Pho which is a bit healthier reduces the guilt level when you are having the munchies in the middle of the night! Both noodle soups we ordered are on target for what they are, not exceptional though, but very decent. House Special Pho $10.50 3/5 stars All the different beef cuts were tasty and very tender, the broth has the depth we all love from a good bowl of Pho, just a tad on the sweet side. Hot & Sour Seafood Pho $11.95 3/5 stars Very tangy and just the right amount of spice, good mix of "seafood" shrimps, squids, shrimp puree balls, fish cakes. The Pho rice noodles got over cooked and became too soft. Maybe its near the end of the day and near closing time? Its good to know that Lotus is still a go-to place for a decent bowl of Pho, and with their longer hours, I am sure this is a good place to come to when you have the "emergency munchies attack"! Final Score: 3 stars Verdict: Recommend!!

    Looks like Pho Boi died off sometime in the last few years and reincarnated into this establishment. Parking available Inside is quite large and modern looking. The one thing that makes this place really unique is that they have an outdoor patio. Wonder if this means outdoor pho can be had during the summer months. Pho here is decent quality. Great taste, fresh toppings, good soup. Can't really go wrong with this place. Recommended.

    The interior has an excellent feel for this type of restaurant, great taste and great prices.

    Came here after my 1st workout session of the new year and felt like it was a #pho kind of night. Got the one with steak, brisket, flank, tendon and tripe. I'm not sure if the tripe was there, if it was, it was really small and blended in with the noodles. The broth was flavourful but not salty. Also got a 'fried roll'. The sauce for it was very bland but then again, you want to taste the roll, not the fish sauce. This really hit the spot. The service is okay, it was busy even for a weekday night. Had to ask to have the tea pot filled however the food came pretty quick.

    Appy!  Happy!!!!

    I wanted something hot and not too heavy. The weather was ok but the dampness in the air continues to be bothersome - I guess us Toronto boys can't take the temperate wet Vancouver weather! LOL! Hmmm...I gotta go for pho! But where? Again...flip the App - type in Pho and boom. Lotus Pho comes up close by and decent rating. Does every corner of Richmond need to be restaurants with parking wars? This strip mall's largest resto was Lotus. Not used to seeing Pho places being so big. It looked like a bar in the area went under and they took it over. Had the spring rolls and their house special pho. Overall, a nice quick meal by a bunch of hard working people. It hit the spot and off I went. By the way, Pho in Richmond is a bit more expensive than in Toronto. Each item was a couple bucks more than back home. 3.5 Stars. Cheers.

    Staff are fine but something must be up in the kitchen. I ordered the VEGETARIAN 'ComChay' and they decided to throw in a piece of chicken amongst the tofu. Luckily, I did a double take before biting into it. I'm wondering how this is even happened? How do they just accidentally add a single piece of chicken? Otherwise the dish seemed "normal." The food also came out in record time (which initially I thought was a positive.) But with the preceding "mishap" it leads me to believe that they may have just repurposed some other dish and left a stray chicken piece. Poor attention to detail. Not impressed. I don't fault all the staff - just the ones laughing in the back when I (politely) pointed out their mistake.

    Steak & Brisket Pho

    This is a solid place for pho and I'm glad I finally got to try this place since it's so out of the way that I normally forget about it completely. Anyways, I found it strange that they didn't have my favourite option, which is pho noodles with steak, beef brisket and flank. (They did have tendon, brisket, and flank though, but I dislike tendon in general) The service was great and extremely fast. Our waiter was very efficient and we were in and out within 45 minutes. The prices are very reasonable (Regular $8.45/Large $9.45), while the soup is very tasty, especially with sriracha! It's still a bit too far for me to come frequently since there are a couple of pho places in Steveston but I would definitely come back if I were in the area!

    One of my gfs was craving vietnamese food and she was willing to drive from burnaby to richmond to get some, so it must be good right? I always drive pass this place when I'm going and leaving a client, but never went in. One great thing about this place is the amount of parking it had, but it can be quite full on a weekend. We ordered Lotus Special Fried Roll and papaya salad to start, and she ordered Hot and Sour Seafood Noodle while I order the usual Bun Bo Hue. My gf was specifically craving for their spring rolls and her soup. She said they make the best spring rolls here. She said it's traditional spring roll made with fried rice paper rolls and crab. I recall all my Vietnamese clients and her mom making spring rolls like that, but was never the same when ordering from restaraunts. We also ordered the papaya salad. Hands down this place had the most fanciest and the most things in it out if any restaraunts I had papaya salad. They added celery which was interesting especially since this is the first time ever having celery in it. I love celery and all, but tue celery taste was just too strong. My BBH was ok. Surprisingly they dont offer pork blood or pigs feet. There was just meat and some balls. It was strange and not traditional. I still prefer the BBH from Got pho. My girlfriends soup was good though. Next time if I come back, Ill be ordering hers. It was spicy yet sour, it was just good! I can see why she was craving this place.

    It used to be Pho Boi and now called Lotus, the place for Pho Lovers. This place is big, clean , 2 big screen TVs in dining room and outside patios. We just wanted to try it out and had pho. The soup and beef was tasty. I like the broth coz not too much MSG coz I wasn't thirsty afterwards.

    Jeffrey L.

    Always consistent and good soup. I came during dining restrictions and the patio was good.

    #A4 Fried Chicken Wings ($7.95)
    C. H.

    We stopped by on a Friday night and there was a line up. Please remember to put your name down on the clipboard. The staff seat according to the list. We only waited for about 15 minutes before we were seated. Menus and tea was dropped shortly afterward. We ordered 6 piece fried chicken wings, a bowl of pho with steak, brisket, tendon, flank and tripe and a bowl of grilled steak slices with fried spring roll vermicelli. Food arrived fairly quickly. We were happy how fast the service was. Chicken wings were pipping hot out of the fryer. The wings were a decent size and nicely seasoned. There was a side of tomato/cocktail sauce. The pho had a good amount of noodles and meat toppings. Noodles had a good chew. The broth was flavourful while being on the lighter side. The vermicelli bowl was good as well. I do not often see beef at many Vietnamese restaurants and it was nice to see this restaurant offer beef dishes as an option. Spring roll was filled with pork, veggies and noodles. My only complaint was it was wrapped in a wheat wrapper instead of the traditional rice wrapper. Overall, I would return to this restaurant as I found it to be one of the better Vietnamese restaurants I have tried recently in Richmond. They open late and accept credit card as well. Parking can be challenging depending on time of day.

    (Kari's Rating 9.5/10)…read more Came with a group of 8 at 8:45pm and were seated immediately. The food came out lightning fast, everything is superb! I know she was doubting the authenticity at this place, but it absolutely blew me away-and I'm Asian. I ordered a bit off menu with the beef pho with a lemongrass broth and thicker noodles. We ordered three plates of the spring rolls and they were some of the best springs I've ever had in my entire life. They're crispy and not mushy inside, paired with the hoisin sauce absolutely delicious!! The persons are absolutely massive, so you're probably gonna end up taking something home, in which they will charge $.50 for a takeout container, but it is definitely worth it. I would genuinely come back if I can and I'll be forever thinking about this place. The Trung special soup was one of their specials, and it has a uniquely smoky flavor, which gave a lot of depth to the broth. The lemongrass chicken vermicelli plate was also delicious, it did need a little bit of hoisin and spice seasoning to lighten it up, but a very delicious meal with the pickled vegetables.

    I've been here a couple times and decided to try something completely new this time! The portions…read morehere are very generous so I recommend sharing with a friend. We got the chao tom (shrimp paste on sugarcane skewers) and the bun cha ca (fish cake noodle soup). Service was quite fast and we got our food shortly after ordering. The chao tom was served over a bed of vermicelli salad which was really nice as we were expecting just the skewers. When you bite into the skewer, it release a bit of sweet acidic flavour as it's made from sugar cane. I am so glad I tried this and will definitely be ordering it again in the future! The bun cha ca had an interesting taste and while I wasn't a big fan of it (there was a very strong dill taste), the portion was really big and I was happy with the experience of trying it. Overall, Pho 37 consistently impresses me with their food and I understand why they're always busy with customers!

The broth is so flavorful and the beef is always fall-off-the-bone tender. Just a heads up, they do run out of the ribs so try to get here early if you would like to try it. The last couple of times we've come, the beef ribs were a bit smaller than they used to be, but they were awesome about making up for it. Last visit they threw in an extra rib, and today they gave us this massive extra bone loaded with tendon. I loved it. My wife was too shy to use her hands to eat it, so hey, bonus piece for me! Aside from the food, the service here is amazing. Everyone is super attentive and friendly. The vibe is really comforting to, it's way more spacious than your typical cramped pho restaurant.
