=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE My money's still with Pho Han (in north Richmond) which wins on price and taste; however, Pho 37 is close behind in taste, while winning on dine-in experience and parking availability. === 2. FOOD Special Beef Noodle Pho ($15.95) It's got a little bit of everything and the soup base is good - a little more runny than what is at Pho Han and so a little less flavourful too, but overall pretty decent. We specifically asked for no greens on top, but still got them anyway :) Charbroiled Lemongrass Pork with Spring Rolls ($16.95) Overall the meat was good and flavourful; the noodles are on par with other establishments. The spring rolls were different - cut diagonally and filled a little more than what may be found elsewhere - they were decent in my opinion! === 3. SERVICE Service was reasonably quick and professional enough in English and Vietnamese (it seems, given the staff conversations between themselves and customers). Our server was cognizant of our toddler, and so brought hot tea for the adults and cool water for my little guy. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's a small-to-medium restaurant with dark tones but it all looks contemporary enough to have been built in the last 10-12 years. There are plenty of tables for groups 6 or smaller in size. There's not a ton of space between tables tho, so those with strollers and wheelchairs may find themselves stay with tables by the front door perhaps. However, the shopping complex parking lot is plentiful and beneficial for those with a Tesla, as superchargers were installed outside relatively recently.

Gooooooodddddd mornin' Vietnam! What the Pho!? I know I know, please staaap! Pho 37 (where do I find 1 - 36? LOL) has been introduced to my life & I'll never look back! Delicious, fresh, fast, superb, you can Pho me up anytime! I see why people love this spot! Located at Ironwood Mall near 5rd & Steveston Highway, this area is busy but with ample parking. Pho 37 is a small restaurant holding approx 50. Very cool pictures & deco adorn this restaurant. The Seafood Crispy Chow Mien, Yellow Curry Chicken & Lemon Grass Chicken with Shrimp Rolls & Salad - excellent!!! The taste is truly exceptional - I concur! What solidified the whole Pho 37 experience - the Vietnamese Ice Coffee at the end! Order this midway through your meal & let it drip! All I could say was ... ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Pho sho!!!

Another not so hidden gem found in A strip mall in richmond bc. Been driving by this place a million times and never knew it stewed something special inside. The famous Tuan's Pho special. - now what makes this dish so special? Its the only pho place that i know that serves Pho this way. First, they stir fry some of the beef and then included it in the soup together with some rare beef. It gave the soup extra flavour. Next, before serving, the server said they sprinkle it with something extra to give it more aroma and extra flavour. After tasting it, im 95% sure its ground cinnamon. It provided an extra sweetness to the soup which blended well with the pho broth. Lastly, it also comes with a poached egg! Bam! It is very gooood!!! Tried the banh mi - bbq pork one. Wow! One of the best for sure! Their bread and the bbq pork marinade took it to new levels. The bread was crusty and yet soft on the inside. Not too thick but just right. The bbq pork was marinaded perfectly. Right amount of sweetness and smokiness. Filled with veggies and secret spread. Absolutely amazing! Easily in my Top 2 best banh mi in Yvr. The Top 1 on my list is in Victoria Drive..;) Service was quick and efficient. Excellent covid protocols too. Will be back for sure! Cheers! Happy eating!

It was a very rainy weekend so pho from Pho 37 was the perfect meal to eat to warm up my tummy. Came here a little bit before the lunch rush so we were seated right away. It quickly became packed when we received our food. It's always extremely busy here during peak times and the space is small inside with limited seating - I suggest to come here early or during non-peak hours. SATAY PEANUT NOODLES The broth is so damn creamy and full of umami flavours. Definitely not a bland or boring broth to have with your noodles. Sipping on this makes you feel so warm and full. This dish is what I enjoyed most and the portion is massive. Highly recommend. TUAN'S SPECIAL BEEF NOODLE This place is known for their 'charred' tasting flavour in all their broths and this noodle bowl had so much of that flavour in the broth. It's so good and so comforting to sip on. So much flavour and extremely filling because they really piled on the beef slices, beef briskets and beef balls. It also comes with an egg yolk that you can pop and mix into your broth/noodles.

Pho Tuan
Sylvia Y.

Having heard great reviews of this place, especially of this OG location, and their house special pho - this is by default, a must go on a chilly Vancouver day. I've been told their house special Pho Tuan is like no other and it is a must try, so that's exactly what was ordered. It's served with a rich beef broth that's not overly oily, the meat slices are slightly torched before serving, which enhances each bite with a subtle aromatic charcoaly flavour (in a good way), to be mellowed down by the creaminess of an egg yolk plopped in the soup base. Overall all these flavours worked really well with each other! Note: portions are slightly larger than other pho places, a plus for all the good eaters out there! Unaware of the larger-than-usual portion sizes, we opted for a sugarcane shrimp appetizer. This could've been a meal alone, it's served on a vermicelli base, side of a mini salad, pickled daikons, and topped with two pieces of shrimp paste skewered with sugarcane. Overall I thought this dish could've been tastier if the sugarcane shrimp skewers were fried fresh to order to yield a crispier bite, this one was obviously reheated given the tougher / chewier exterior skin. Enjoyed this popular pho spot in general though it's slightly further away from the city. Would recommend the house special pho for sure!

Beef Pho and noodles, spring rolls, and hot tea

Let me just say "authentic" is the only word do describe Pho 37. I had the beef Pho and noddles with some spring rolls. The broth was impeccable, the best I ever had! The spring rolls were lightly fried with excellent seasoning. The restaurant itself is really tiny and they kinda hovered over me until I put my order in which was a little uncomfortable. But I would diffidently come back. Sorry for only one picture I forgot to take one before I started eating!!

this space brings back a little nostalgia. it used to be one of our go to spots for dim sum when…read moreit was south ocean. today, it's home to pho anh vu, an ontario based vietnamese chain that has made its way to richmond on garden city road. the dining room is spacious, bright, and inviting, with plenty of tables for both small and larger groups. two cherry blossom trees wrapped in warm lights immediately caught my eye, while tropical murals and woven basket pendant lights add warmth and character to the space. it feels modern, comfortable, and much brighter than i remember. i ordered the bun thit nuong cha gio, a generous bowl of vermicelli topped with smoky grilled pork, a crispy spring roll, fresh herbs, cucumber, bean sprouts, crushed peanuts, and a side of fish sauce to pour over everything. the grilled pork had a beautiful caramelized char, while the spring roll added a satisfying crunch and extra layer of texture. my partner ordered the com ga nuong, featuring two pieces of grilled chicken over broken rice with a light salad and a side of house fish sauce. the chicken was juicy with nicely charred grill marks, and the broken rice did a great job soaking up all the savoury flavours. don't skip the pickled garlic on the table. it adds a bright, tangy kick that cuts through the richness of the grilled meats and gives each bite a little extra pop. both dishes were generous, filling, and packed with flavour. if i had one observation, it would be that the seasoning leaned a little on the salty side, and i found myself reaching for my water more than once. the menu is more focused than many vietnamese restaurants. if you're hoping for favourites like banh mi, banh xeo, or banh khot, you'll need to look elsewhere. the drink selection is fairly limited as well, so the emphasis here is clearly on pho, vermicelli bowls, broken rice, and a handful of classic vietnamese comfort dishes. a couple of things worth knowing before you go: the restaurant accepts cash or debit only, so leave the credit card in your wallet. if you're visiting after 6:00 pm, complimentary parking is available, just remember to register your licence plate at the tablet near the entrance before you sit down. overall, pho anh vu serves satisfying vietnamese comfort food in a beautifully refreshed space. while i still have fond memories of south ocean, it's nice to see this location begin a new chapter. if you're craving grilled meats, vermicelli bowls, broken rice, or a comforting bowl of pho, it's worth adding to your list.

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. Parking is free during lunch, but you have to register your car if you're here after 6pm. It's cash or debit only.

Normally, I'm not the biggest fan of soupy dishes, but somehow, they managed to serve some of the best Bun Rieu and Bun Cha Ca I've ever had. I would even say they were on par with some of the best Vietnamese restaurants I've tried in the US. Both soups were packed with toppings and protein, and the portions were very generous for how affordable the prices were. I was honestly impressed with how much food we got for what we paid. The restaurant itself looks like your typical Vietnamese restaurant, nothing too fancy, with Vietnamese music playing in the background. It had that familiar, casual atmosphere that you would expect from a local Vietnamese spot. The place was pretty packed when we visited, but I would say it's a great option for smaller groups of 2 to 4 if you're looking to get seated relatively quickly. The Vietnamese ladies working there were also incredibly sweet and accommodating. Despite how busy the restaurant was, they provided great service, and I was extremely happy with how we were treated. One thing worth mentioning is that they only accept debit cards or CAD cash, so definitely plan ahead and hit an ATM if you're visiting from the United States. It's a little inconvenient for tourists, but considering the quality of the food and the affordable prices, I really can't complain too much. Overall, great food, generous portions, affordable prices, and wonderful service! I came in without expecting much, especially since I'm not usually a big soup person, but I left genuinely impressed. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're in Vancouver and craving some authentic Vietnamese comfort food. I would happily come back for another bowl of their Bun Rieu or Bun Cha Ca!
