    Pho
    Deb C.

    Food was great but bathroom was SO hard to get to, squeezing through the back entrance of the restaurant, but hey, I got a behind-the-scenes look at the spring roll making process. My banh mi was awesome and my friend really enjoyed her pho. Very reasonable prices.

    Happy hour special - beef and beef ball mixed pho with viet iced coffee
    Maya L.

    Service was great. She said you can combine the beef ball and beef pho together in the happy hour for no extra charge. I also opted for the iced coffee so it was around $13 for both. Lady was super nice and accommodating. Only docking one star because you can def get better pho elsewhere - at least for the broth. Wish they had chili oil or jalapeños. But I will come back again for happy hour and try more options :)

    Veggie pho (a very sad one -- there are overcooked veggies & tofu underneath)
    Matt B.

    One of the weakest veggie phos in Vancouver, made worse by a mismanaged SkipTheDishes order that took doubly as long as estimated. I needed some delivery lunch, so decided to go with their veggie pho ($15 plus tax, fees, etc.). Despite being told it'd take 40-50 minutes, it took over 90 minutes for my pho to arrive. Once it did, the soup was luke warm and the noodles all stuck together since they were packaged separately. The veggie were over-cooked and the broth was pretty uninspiring. 2 stars is generous.

    Beef stew soup
    Diana S.

    Everyone has their own way of making their broth soup. This wasn't mom cooking but it was okay. Very small tight place. Food is ordered at the counter and paid for. Then the lady will deliver your food to the table. My beef stew could of used more seasonings but it was comforting food. Seafood had a clear broth soup looked bland but to my surprise it had some flavor. Bowl was perfectly enough to fill you up. Took a order of pork baguette sandwich to go and had it the next day and it was still fresh to eat.

    Veggie Pho & Jackfruit Smoothie
    Dana S.

    I often pass by this place and was curious, so I stopped in for dinner. It was empty except for occasional takeout when I showed up around 7, but I know I've seen it busier earlier in the day. The restaurant looks like a hole in the wall, but it was very very clean. Ordered the Veggie Pho and a Jackfruit Smoothie. The woman at the front was super nice and my food was ready quickly. The pho broth wasn't the most flavourful on its own, but the tofu was seasoned very nicely. There were lots of vegetables and everything seemed very fresh. It was decidedly NOT oily at all, which I really appreciated. The bowl was huge - I got pretty close to finishing both the pho and the smoothie but had to leave just a little bit of both, and I was super full. The smoothie was really good! Very vibrant flavour. Overall this was just about exactly what I was looking for: a quick and simple, healthy meal, and warm atmosphere. It's also pretty good value: $13.8 pho, $4.5 smoothie. Not anything to write home about but a place I'd recommend for a quick, simple pho fix, and I'd be interested in trying the banh mi too.

    Chicken pho, fresh chewy noodles!
    Christina L.

    This is how things work here: 1. Walk straight to the cashier, order and pay in advance 2. Grab a seat and they will bring you your food The restaurant is small but clean and efficient. It was fairly quiet because most people were busy eating delicious noodles. :D I tried both the chicken pho and veggie pho. The quantity of the noodle is not huge so it's a good portion for lunch. The noodle texture was chewy and fresh, which was a good surprise to me. Don't expect large pieces of chicken though. This is mostly noodles. The broth is not too salty or sweet. The soup comes out hot enough to cook all the bean sprouts. The only bad part is that the carrots' texture was all wrong, kind of gross actually. I think they use frozen carrots. Oh and there's only sriracha at the table, no chili oil. The veggie spring rolls were not so good. It felt heavy and greasy, and I felt like they fried it in a general pot of oil that they use to fry other meats because the taste was a bit "mixed" and not in a good way. We also tried the grilled chicken and grilled beef baguettes one evening. The baguettes are quite big and satisfying. There is not much meat in it, but then each baguette is under $5 so you get what you pay for. The sauce on top of the meat is sweet and spicy. I like the spiciness but not the sweetness, but I think lots of people would enjoy it.

    Siu mai baguette
    Kit Yee Y.

    My friend insisted to come here for lunch as we were in the neighbourhood. I was not sure why she loved this Vietnamese restaurant so much as there were so many other options in downtown. Anyway, this was my second time here. I had pho last time, so I tried their combo (siu mai baguette and iced Vietnamese coffee) the baguette was crispy outside and soft inside but the sandwich was so light as a whole that I felt like I ate something but I was not full. Keep in mind that I am a small person but I still felt my stomach was not full by eating the baguette along with the iced Vietnamese coffee. The interior design is ok but not great. The service was okay. We ordered the food at the cashier and a server would bring the food to our table. I hope that I would not have to go back to this Vietnamese restaurant if my friend wantsto eat Vietnamese food again. ;-)

    Rare beef pho - Delicious
    Kate M.

    One Saigon is a cute little joint on Hornby and a great easy go-to when you're in the downtown core. My mom and I were heading to see an early movie so we just wanted a quick bite. I love pho so I suggested this place as it's super close to the theatre. We went up to order our two rare beef pho #18. They brought out a big plate of sprouts, and Thai basil. They were missing lime which was unfortunate because I love it in my pho. The broth was delicious and they gave lots of beef! The only issue I had was the rice noodles were too stuck together in certain spots so it was hard to pick up and eat all in one mouthful. Nevertheless a really satisfying pho meal! I would go back

    Brenda K.

    Delicious food for low price. I bought 2 Banhmi sandwiches for $8.50(chicken and beef) and they were good. Loving the crispy delicious goodness. Their sandwiches are big as the ones from Viet Sub. They accept interac aside from cash transactions. Be sure to check out their daily specials.

    $3.60 tofu salad roll
    Darryl P.

    Purchased one $3.60 tofu salad roll 5:30pm on a weekday. Restaurant was half full and my order was ready in under 5 minutes. This establishment can be described as a small, Vietnamese style hole in the wall. Takeout items consisted of styrofoam clamshell container, one roll halved, one peanut sauce, napkin. The rolls offered a good balance of flavours and the inclusion of mint was welcomed. The key ingredient tofu was lacking. The rolls were fresh and paired well with the dipping sauce. The peanut sauce was dark and sweet with small crunchy peanut pieces. The sauce offered a nice consistency for dipping but the peanut flavor was lacking. The rolls offer a good value despite being more expensive than average. The larger than average rolls however suffered due to small portions of tofu ingredient. Would recommend 3 stars Ingredients: rice wrapper, rice noodles, lettuce, bean sprouts, mint, tofu, peanut sauce Rolls 408g

    Place Order at counter & food is served at table when ready. Simple tidy decor. Does have WiFi contrary to Yelp listing.

They also have a bar area. Kind of an Asian French fusion menu. Food dishes were good and creative, but it didn't really appeal to me. I appreciated the good service and chill atmosphere, but not sure if I would come back. I would say that their house made spicy was really good. A mix of sweet, sour, and spicy. Had a brightness to it yet also very, very spicy. Tastes great on many of the dishes, especially if you wanted a nice "kick" to the food. I believe you can order a jar to take home if you wish.

The space is much nicer, with high ceilings and lots of light - great looking bistro. I ended up trying the following: - Mussels: Very good. Classic dish, but I really like the use of cream in the broth. - Bánh Mì Cay Hải Phòng (Spicy Baguette Sticks): Good. A nice little snack, although it would be easy to recreate at home. - Lamb Chops: Very good. Cooked just right, and the pepper sauce added extra flavour. - Fried Frog Legs: Very good. This was probably the surprise dish for me. They weren't just the legs, but the entire bottom of the frog, so the pieces were huge. The garlic, butter and chili flakes gave it a extra punch. I really enjoyed this one. - Pho Bo: Good. Not the best pho I've had, but it's good enough to stand on it's own. Service was quite good. Very cheerful and quite attentive. Overall a nice meal. It's a great space, the food is solid, and service to match. What I really like is having the variety of both French and Vietnamese dishes, without either of them suffering in quality. Only downside is that is it expensive for what you get.

Cali girl here *wave* I tried a bunch of different places but couldn't really say any was a favorite. I finally asked my nail tech what her favorite place was and she recommended Pho 37 and she was not wrong. Then I remembered that my nail tech will never leave me astray. I only had to try their pho once to know, THIS IS IT. Then I had to get their Bun Bo Hue, just tomake sure. The triple crown will be their Banh Mi, which I'm excited to try next but so far 5 stars all the way. Best Pho broth and the best Bun Bo Hue that I've found so far in the downtown Vancouver area. I'm sure as you fan outside of the city limits that there are just as good options but I've finally found my go to spot close to work and home after 3 months of living here. A plus plus is the huge portions but I also have to commend the meat to noodle ratio is just perfect. This is a cute little spot on Robson. Don't sleep on this one, ladies and gents.

The only small issue was that it took a little while before someone came to take my order, and I eventually had to wave someone over. It wasn't a big deal, though, especially considering how busy they were. The portions here are huge, especially for the price. The broth was a little sweeter than I personally prefer, but it was very clean, clear, and flavorful. This is what I look for in a good bowl of pho. The noodles were cooked perfectly and had a nice soft texture. I ordered a combination bowl. My only suggestion would be a bit more of tripe and tendon. The tripe was a little sparse, and I honestly didn't realize I had tendon until I was almost finished with the bowl. But I like those, and not a lot of people do. Despite the restaurant being packed, the staff was stayed attentive, kept food coming out quickly, and did a great job taking care of everyone. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming. There was a nice mix of people. Some quietly watching videos on their phones, others catching up over conversation. It felt like the kind of neighborhood spot that attracts everyone. Overall, this is a convenient, affordable place with good pho and generous portions. If I'm in the area again, I'd definitely come back. .

Ordered Green Papaya Salad ($12), Lemongrass Chicken on Vermicelli with one spring roll ($17), one lime soda ($6.50) and one pop ($3). Food arrived within minutes of ordering. Portions were very generous. The salad was perfect with everything very fresh, as it should be but often isn't in some places. Plump prawns and the scent and taste of basil was prominent. Delicious! The lemongrass chicken (we ordered extra chicken) with a spring roll was also very generous. We did not finish it between the two of us. Again, all was fresh, tasty and hot.
