we were visiting Vancouver after our Alaska cruise and wanted to eat something different, so we came across this place we found on Yelp. most of us ordered their normal Pho, number 11 on the menu if I recall correctly. The portion is good and the flavoring is on the spot, just the right amount of herbs and spice which has that signature Pho and basil smell and taste. read more

the go-to spot for Vietnamese food in richmond. they don't have any added msg here and service is amazing - we had 4 servers constantly check on us to see how we were doing and the vibe is very comforting. we ordered: -beef carpaccio, which was tender, juicy, and flavourful with peanuts, cilantro and onions -beef+chicken house specials had plenty of meat+ noodles and definitely hits great on the taste -lemongrass chicken was yummy, and both spring and salad rolls were the absolute best pairing of crunch and sweetness left feeling very content and full, and the cost is decent for the quality of food; it's great that there are multiple locations! read more

Pho 37 - Veggie Pho Peanut Sate - Vietnamese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

This is the newest relaunch location of Pho 37, previously tried the Steveston Ironwood location and it was only so so and I expected this location would do much better as it is new and need to have a good launch. The decor was great, the staff were attentive, and the Vietnamese coffee had the right balance of sweetness/smoothness without being too bitter, and it was just perfect. For the standard test I usually order the restaurant's special pho (everything beef pho), and it was a bit lacking. There were expected portions of beef, but the noodles got super soft really fast but didn't absorb much flavor because the soup was pretty bland. They had hoisin sauce and house special chili oil/sauce rather than siracha, plus house pickled garlic (yum). However, what made the experience dive to a two star was the tea cups and one of the spoon had things dried stuck to them and wasn't cleaned well. To be expected at mom and pop noodle shops to have maybe minor cleanliness issue, but was expecting more especially with the decor and being newly opened. read more

Pho 37 - Combination plate, a bit too much of veggies beneath to make it looks a big dish. - Vietnamese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Pho 37 Last visit 2/12/3019 For the last few years, we had considered Banh Mi Tres Bon the best local Pho place. Pho 37 has changed that. The traditional fried spring rolls are very good; great presentation. Taste identical to Banh mi Tres Bon (that's a good thing). But the traditional beef w/ meatballs Pho was a revelation: sweet, savoury in a rich and delightfully fragrant way. It's very telling that this was the only time my wife didn't try to add seasoning to her noodles; perfect as is. This is the new standard in town; so much so that we can't even imagine going back to Pho Hoa for their traditional pho (their coconut broth beef saté pho and their fancy drinks are still worth going back for, but I digress). Speaking of which, Pho 37 also has a peanut sate pho (I tried beef, but you can also order it with chicken, or vegetarian & tofu). Again, this has their signature sweetness, but with a kick; very much like the Vietnamese version of tan tan. Again, richest most intese pho broth in town (wife found it spicy. I couldn't taste the spiciness, but could feel the heat afterwards) Alas no fancy drinks, no macaroons or French pastries. But we have to return to try everything else! Recommended: every thing we ordered. Avoid: nothing. Good service; they even accept credit cards here. 4.75 stars, 9.4/10. The new king in town. Photos by Michelle W. read more

After hearing a lot of great things about Pho 37's Ironwood location, I knew I had to try it out. With the sudden drop in temperature, my hankering for pho was at an all-time high and I came for a casual dinner last night before karaoke Tuesday at K-Fever in the same plaza. The restaurant space here is really bright and clean, with two giant booths near the door that can accommodate 8-10 comfortably. We were served pandan tea and the service was polite and cordial. I ordered their signature Pho Tuan (#40), which was a complex beef pho with great depth of flavour. I really liked the different cuts of rare beef in the bowl; they all had decent marbling and remained tender even after cooking. The addition of the poached egg added a creamy texture to the broth and I used it to coat the meat for a silkier mouth feel. With chunks of minced ginger and sliced pickled garlic in the broth, the pho here leans more towards the Northern Vietnamese style. I also added their homemade chili sauce to the bowl and I would highly recommend it - it's more aromatic than spicy and the lemongrass really kicks the flavour up a notch. Between the four of us, we also tried the Bun Bo Hue and a broken rice dish. The former was super flavourful without them overdoing the chili oil and the latter very well-executed and well portioned. We got the #37 Broken Rice, which came with a giant lemongrass pork chop, steamed meat cake, and shredded pork. Every bite was packed with flavour and the pork chop wasn't overly tough or chewy. Pho 37 leaves a giant bottle of nuoc mam on the table for you to use at your leisure, which I thought was a nice touch. The food here is definitely a step above the average hole in the wall and it's nice to finally have a decent choice for Vietnamese eats in central Richmond. They also take cards and offer a 10% discount on Mondays. I will definitely be back. read more

Pho 37 - #40 Pho Tuan: rice noodles with rare beef, beef balls and poached egg - Vietnamese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

See all

This popular restaurant serves Vietnamese classics like pho and rice/meat combo dishes. I always get their Pho Tuan as it comes with a poached egg, which in my opinion elevates the flavour and texture of the dish. The broth differentiates itself from other traditional pho broths by being smoky, aromatic, and all-around delicious. Their Pho Dac Biet is also flavourful and a total classic! Something I learned was that Pho 37 does not use MSG in their broth, yet they're all so tasty. The portions are always large enough to fill up me and my hungry plus ones. Service is timely and quick, with staff giving recommendations if they notice that you're stuck when deciding. Quick service, delicious food and a casual, clean eating setting always makes for a great visit! read more

Ordered 3 items: *Com Suon Bo - Grilled Beef Short Ribs $13.50 5/5 stars First time to try this item and Im glad I made a good choice! Slices of tender and juicy beef short ribs marinated in their special sauce grilled to perfection, beef is high grade and do not require artificial tenderizer ( boss lady told me later ). I really like the side salad that comes with the dish, balance out all the meat they give you!! Oh I added a fried egg which they forgot at first but came very soon after!! Goi Cuon (Tom) - Salad Roll (Shrimp) $4.25 4/5 stars Freshly rolled with the rice paper still soft and chewy!! Lots of vegetables and huge shrimps! Great starter or even a meal if you are on diet! Pho DB - House Special Pho $10.95 4/5 stars Good bowl of good old honest Pho!! This is the kind of Pho you would crave for if the weather begins to turn cold in the evening! The broth is well balanced with all the essential aromatics, and a strong beef presence. Service is always pleasant and with a smile! This is a great addition to their sister location at Ironwood! They also take Credit Cards! Final score: 4.33 stars Recommended * denotes STAR ITEM... read more

When you think of Richmond, Vietnamese isn't usually what comes to mind for eats. Pho 37's claim to fame is that they don't use MSG. It's located in Ironwood Plaza but they also have a second location (out in Steveston). There's a mix of table and booth seating but they cap out at 46 seats. Jazz/elevator music is unexpected but the vibe is chill and the NBA seems to always be up on their TV's. Service is standard but the food comes out quickly. The menu is focused with 40 items; appetizers, pho, vermicelli noodle bowl, crispy chow mein, rice plates, combination plates, chef's specialty and desserts. FYI: 10% off on Monday's. Trip #1 We dropped in on a Sunday afternoon (around 1:30pm) and the place was bumping. - Herbs - basil, bean sprouts and lemon wedges. - Bo tai chanh (#35) ($15.50) - Vietnamese beef carpaccio. Haven't seen this at many other spots in town (only Phnom Penh comes to mind). The portion size is generous and would be better shared between three people. Good acidity, a bit of texture from the fried garlic chips, peanuts and freshness from the onion and cilantro. - Pho tuan (#40) ($14.50) - the beef slices and balls were fantastic; slices are slightly smoked beforehand and melt in your mouth. The broth was unlike any other pho I've had; bright, fragrant and slightly creamy. It's almost like a hybrid between a pho and ramen bowl. Definitely a must try. - Pho sate ga (#15) ($13.95) - we went with chicken, which was generous in portion and incredibly tender, flavourful pieces. The broth is thick (aka. noodles will soak it all up) but impressive with great depth and complexity. It's been awhile since I've had a satisfying sate. Trip #2 We dropped in on an early Saturday (around 5:30pm). No wait and not too busy inside. - Bun bo hue ($13.95) - broth was excellent; good depth, balance and flavour. Something was slightly different about their broth (maybe some kaffir lime in there?). Generous portions of meat. Overall, a very satisfying BBH. - Bo luc lac ($17.95) - Vietnamese shaking beef. The beef was tender and juicy. The rest of the meal is standard fare; basically a vermicelli bowl. Personally, I'd stick with their soups. Generous portion sizes and delicious broths. Solid spot if you want Vietnamese in Richmond! read more

This location in the Union Square complex is owned by the same owners as Pho 37 in Steveston. The menu looks the same. The first thing we see as we approached the restaurant was their sign saying "no msg" taped to the door, so yay, guess we're eating healthier. Being new, the space feels clean. The servers are very nice and welcoming; all smiles. They even asked if we wanted our bean sprouts cooked or raw, noticing we had children and pregnant people at our table. We tried their #11 House Special Pho and their specialty #40 Special Beef Noodle Pho. They only offer 1 size pho and the portion size is quite generous. The #11 House Special pho, though good, was not the best pho compared to other places. Where they stood out was their #40 Special Beef Noodle Pho - the soup was so flavorful and creamy. We found chunks of ginger and garlic in there and the poached egg mixed into the soup made it denser and more rich. I would go back just for this pho. read more

Very happy with the food. Bought lemon grass chicken platter with salad roll, special beef noodle soup, sample platter for 2 and extra salad roll. For take out on a Monday evening. Enough for my family of 4. It's great doing the take out so the family can try all the food and we split out the pho into small bowls. Will be going back. read more

Pho 37 - Inside restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

I've been coming to Pho 37 for the past few months now and personally love this location more than their Steveston location. It's got high ceilings and plenty of windows that let in plenty of natural lighting, so even though there are less tables, it feels more spacious. They offer the same menu as their Steveston restaurant and I think the quality is the same across the board. The dishes I've gotten consistently are the lemongrass chicken with rice, lemongrass chicken vermicelli bowl, the hot and sour seafood soup, the #40 Chef's Special, and the BBQ pork banh mi. I keep wanting to try new things on their menu, but always end up resorting back to one of these five because they're all so good. Since I've been on a banh mi kick, I've gotten their banh mis quite a few times more recently and do have to comment on how their baguettes are perfect. Perfectly crispy on the outside with a fluffy, warm inside. If you're looking for filling, authentic, delicious Vietnamese cuisine, you can bet Pho 37 will deliver on all those accounts! read more

Probably one of the best pho places in Richmond. I always get the Tuan special. It's grilled beef and has a charcoal flavour in the soup. Bit of garlic, ginger and the broth flavour is unique. It's very tasty and it's one big bowl of pho. Staffs are friendly and the restaurant is new and clean. It's always packed here so just make sure you put your name down in the front. I come here very often for their pho and it's good every time. Their beef carpaccio is also fantastic. Almost everything is good here to be honest. Iced coffee is a big portion cause I know it's a bit pricey for it here. Prices are higher than other pho restaurants by not too much more but it's worth it! Make sure you try Tuans special, there's a raw egg in there but you can request to have that put in! I like everything with mine it's delicious here. Highly recommend this place if you are craving pho in Richmond! read more

Pho 37 - Tuans Special - Vietnamese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Decided to try out a new Pho place in Richmond and came across Pho 37! Their Pho was very generous and well flavored, maybe a bit too much since we usually enjoy our pho by dipping in hoisin sauce and siracha but we didn't need to with this at all. Their chicken wings were a bit on the bland side, basically just tasted like deep fried chicken wings without any seasoning.The pork Bánh Mi on the other hand was standard and fresh. Not a bad place if you want to come in for a bowl of pho though. Note that If you get their chicken wings, add fish sauce to it! It's a great twist and adds plenty of flavour to the wings. We drowned our wings in it and it was perfect! read more

When the chilly and wet season rolls in at least half of my weekly meals consist of a hot bowl of satisfying soupy noodles! This is a place to mark for a visit to satisfying the craving and remember #40 (Tuan's Special Beef Noodle Soup ). We read so many great things about this pho my husband and I ordered the same order, which we rarely do as we always want to try something different too! But there was no sharing in this one! The Tuan's special is one the popular pho most order on the menu . There's just something very unique about this broth it has a lingering smokey flavour that works perfectly in the broth that gives off that extra comfort food feel! If you like to add chili/hot sauce to your pho remember to take a few sip of the broth first to truly enjoy subtle smokiness because the hot sauce does hide flavour of the broth a bit. It also has a raw egg in the pho too that you can mix or leave it poaching in the soup. It adds an extra creaminess to the broth! The springs roll was fried nicely too with the bubbly crispy wrapper and a good filling. Overall a great experience here and hope to be back. But do note the restaurant does get very busy and crowded and seating can be a bit too close to comfort for some right now. read more

Support your local business too Beef short ribs 10/10 (no picture but trust) totally worth it, while beef is expensive, the mardinate is delicious and goes perfectly! Its chewy but not tough. I would highly recommend getting it Pork special 9/10 you do get a lot of variety which i like and it goes well with everything else The pork is tender and juicy. Lots of flavour! Love putting the fish sauce all over it. While it is a solid choice I love the beef short ribs!! Chef speciality pho 10/10 its just so different any other pho that you'll get!

The Pho Dac Biet is soooooo goood! I was visiting the town for the Night Market, but left it since I was craving Vietnamese food. Found this place a couple blocks away from the Night Market and had a blast! I went here for another 3 nights. I ate the Pho Dac Biet, the Vermicelli Eggroll dish, and the Rice with Pork Chops. The Rice with Pork Chops could have been better, but everything was great! The service was average! Since they probably had a long day. Mostly Viet workers!

You guys... this place RUINED Pho for me. Why?! Because it's so DAMN GOOD that I can't go anywhere else now. It's over an hour drive during traffic for me to even go there but it's so worth it. Legit the first place I went to after arriving to the airport from a 15 hour travel. It's THAT good. I have been there multiple times and a every time I'm super satisfied. The one major thing about this place is that they don't use MSG and yet their broth is sooo flavourful. I haven't found any place close to this in Vancouver yet (if you know any, holla at yo girl). I always get their no. 40 Tuan's Special, its a bit of a unique flavour but amazing (their regular pho is delicious as well). The portions are quite big with generous amounts of meat. The vietnamese beef carpaccio here has a lot of meat and peanuts which I love. The sampler platter was filled with flavour and a lot of different kinds of meat if you want some variety. I also tried their green papaya salad which was good (tastes like most places in van) I ordered take out before on another occasion but there was a mistake in my order. I called them they were super nice about it and gave me credit for next meal. Which I appreciate greatly. You already know I'm coming back! I can't wait to try their whole menu. I recommend this place to EVERYONE. already know I'm gonna be returning back read more

Pho 37 is by far my favourite Vietnamese restaurant for specialty pho in Richmond. While we have numerous great locations for regular pho, not many in the city offer specialty options. Now, I haven't tried many other dishes from here other than the #40 - "Chef Tuan's Special". This dish has a way to my heart because it's not your regular pho. Like everywhere else, the noodle soup is served with the usual beef, beef balls, and rice noodles. What makes #40 different is that they add a bit of green garlic and an egg to the broth. On top of that, the beef is pan-fried, which gives the broth a smokey flavour. Because the beef is slightly cooked prior to being added to the soup, the juices and oils of the beef disintegrates into the broth, giving it a kick of rich beef flavours. read more

This is currently by far the best pho place in Richmond. I have been coming here for a couple years now and can confidently say that their dishes are so consistent and always taste amazing and never disappoint !

I was impressed at the menu selection as they offer a number of items you do not normally find at most Vietnamese restaurants. We ended up ordering special beef noodle (well done) and Vietnamese shaking beef. Food arrived a short time later. However, the meat slices were still raw when the bowl of noodles arrived. Broth was light but flavourful. There was a good amount of noodles and toppings. The Vietnamese shaking beef was alright. I still prefer the version at Phnom Penh Restaurant and have not found anything close to that version. Ginger ale was served with a cold glass cup. Good service on the that part. I took off a star because staff did not come back to refill water cups and the server/kitchen did not follow our request for the meat to be well done. read more

Best Vietnamese food I have had in quite a while. Good flavour and good quality and quantity. Well worth the price.

This is the cleanest and most modern looking pho restaurant I have come across that also serves delicious food! I would highly recommend the peanut satay pho, which is mild-moderately spicy. The rich, creamy broth is divine! You get to choose your protein, and I got it with chicken. It's not just dry chicken bits that they throw in. Rather, there are tender slices of what almost tastes like Hainanese style chicken that soak up the yummy soup. Their curry and vermicelli bowls are also beautiful and packed with flavour--not to mention all generously sized. Their spring rolls are top notch, as well. Note that their menu doesn't have many of your traditional pho options, so if you just want a well done brisket pho or a Bun Bo Hue, this is NOT the place to go. That being said, their menu has loads of other unique, yet delicious, options to choose from. read more

I've been here several times in the past two months. Each time I'm here, I usually order one of the chef's special, particularly Tuan Special. This time I ordered the yellow curry with rice. You might think it's weird to come into a vietnamese restaurant for curry, but then again I enjoy curry and I was craving curry so I ordered curry. Probably the better curry option within this area. Last time I had the yellow curry, it was good. This time, the yellow curry was just alright because the texture of the rice was a bit off this time, a bit on the cold and hard side. If you could ask them to replace it with vermecilli instead, you will probably enjoy this dish a lot more. As for service, the staffs are exceptionally friendly. Overall, it's a great place to enjoy a meal with friends. The background music playing is soft and relaxing, so you can have a conversation with friends. Just don't bring a large group, as you may need to wait longer during peak periods. read more
