The large bowl for the house special pho was reasonable. I thought the broth tasted very good. The staff was friendly and kind. Only issue was the pricing as I thought it was a bit overpriced compared to other Vietnamese restaurants. read more

Meh. It's pretty bland to be honest. It's also pretty expensive compared to places that are way better. Making the broth is a very long process. I was hoping that process would come with a burst of flavour. Nope. read more

My favorite pho place in Port Coquitlam. The owner nice and friendly and the place is always clean. The pho is also super delicious and fresh. I am so glad it finally opens for indoor again. read more

Pho 51 - Beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

We got take out tonight and it was so good! Good portions and such good broth. Probably one of my favourite pho places in the tri cities!! I ordered the beef balls and got it with hot & soup broth. read more

Place is clean and the orders are huge. Servers are efficient as well. 2 main things that are a knock down for this place are the steep price and the quality of the meat. The pho wasn't good and the beef slices were very tough. The lemongrass pork chop had a good flavorful marinade but you can still taste the porkiness. Saving Grace was the grilled chicken. I think they don't use quality meats here which is very disappointing because of the price that they charge. $14.50 for a rice dish! That's super expensive. I'd rather have smaller portions and high quality ingredients. I'd rate it 2.5 stars but just rounded up to 3. read more

New restaurant to the growing Walmart location. Traditional Pho, generous servings. Clean restaurant. Quick service. I have had better Pho the broth was not an overwhelming taste but since Poco has limited choices I would certainly return. Parking is plenty and a good selection of beverages including Vietamese coffee and teas, smoothies and juicies. read more

Pho 51 - Vietnamese Near Me - Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

If you have any concerns related to health standards or cross contamination DO NOT EAT HERE. My "vegetarian" spring roll (made in house) had a large chunk of meat in it. We also witnessed employees making the spring rolls on one of the dining tables in the middle of the crowded restaurant. They weren't using gloves. The spring roll wrappers were laid out on the dining table. They were grabbing large mounds of miscellaneous filling out of a large bucket and packing it into the wonton paper -- with their bare hands, mind you. My fiancé and I have been sick all day. We suspect it is some kind of food born illness we picked up at Pho 51. read more

I came here with friends today. Average regular Vietnamese fare for above average prices. Salad rolls were $3.50 per roll. A regular pho will set you back $10.95 and a banh mi over $6. Cafeteria like ambience. You can get about the same quality pho nearby for cheaper. read more

I will venture to say the best in the TriCities, although there's a few places I haven't been yet. Portions are always good, flavours are consistent. The staff are generally very nice, depending on who you get. It is expensive though. For myself and my partner it's a $50 lunch. That's a soup, noodle bowl, sandwich and spring roll. Definitely try the lemongrass beef...absolutely delicious! read more

The best pho around. You can taste it in their broth, its almost a shame to add any hoison or hot sauce. I will literally make excuses to be in the area jus so I can eat here. read more

I went here knowing exactly what I wanted. Sat down and ordered. My food was ready in literally 4 minutes... what kind of black magic is this? And how can something so delicious be made so quick... no wait, don't tell me, I don't want to know, the mystery combined with the tasty food is enough to keep me coming back. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that the ambience is basic and unappealing, but perfectly acceptable for the type of place it is. The only other negative is that the beef was a tad fatty, but still delicious. read more

Love the Pho, staff is friendly and efficient. My go to Vietnamese restaurant for the area

The food here is great! Staff are nice, the owners are great people. Definitely one of the best pho places in the Lower Mainland.

I think the pho here is awesome. Huge portions, great variety of options, and excellent pricing. When we want pho, I'll only come here. Fast service, nice and clean. read more

Pho 51 - Hot & sour Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

See all

Hair in salad rolls (with the piece of hair longer than my hand - GROSS) but still charged us for one of the two rolls. Bad customer service. Rice combo was very unimpressive. Expensive overall. Much better pho and Vietnamese food elsewhere. read more

My husband gets a craving for pho every so often, and he stumbled upon this place when running errands in Port Coquitlam. I also saw Pho 51 on a website listing the top 10 restaurants in Port Coquitlam, so we definitely had to check it out. I only order one item at pho places: rare beef pho. It's called rare steak pho here (P2), but it's the exact same thing. You can order either a regular ($7.50) or large ($8.50) bowl. Each bowl comes with a fresh serving of bean sprouts, basil and lime. I feel that the regular bowl is quite large and comes with enough beef and noodle to leave you feeling satisfied. Pho 51 itself is bright and clean. The staff have always been friendly and the food quality is very consistent. The restaurant is in the same parking lot as Wal Mart so there is tons of parking. If you want pho in the tri cities, definitely check out Pho 51. read more

I like this place. Clean , food is fresh , they put their own twist on some items and their broth is tasty. Service always great and friendly. read more

Pho 51 - P1 house special , salad roll , spring roll - Vietnamese Near Me - Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

This place is the only place where the pho doesnt make me sick after. I suspect this is due to quality ingredients from the get go. The meat is the best I've had in a soup from a restaurant. I've had better pho only one other place and it was only because the broth was richer. Service is prompt and extremely pleasant, the owners are wonderful and work hard for their customers. The food is always ready fast, and the portions are generous, they could skip out but they don't, which is why I'll keep going back. Me and a friend always get the House Special pho almost every weekend and its exceptional every time. The restaurant is clean and has a beautiful modern atmosphere! read more

My Pho loving brother recommended this place to us so we decided to try it out now that fall is upon us. The place is conveniently located in the Fremont Village near Lougheed and Pitt River Bridge in Port Coquitlam. I hope it gets a lot of business from the Walmart and Canadian Tire crowd. We had the House Special Pho (#P1), a spring roll and a Red Bean Milkshake. The rich beef Pho broth was very deliciously complex; hints of warm ginger and cinnamon, seemingly sweet onions (could've been roasted to max out the flavour) and the sweet liquorice taste of anise. The raw beef was still rare when the soup came to our table so it just needed to be dunked and it's ready for consumption within a minute after you garnish it with a squeeze of lime, bean sprouts and cilantro. The fatty flank was just so tender along with the soft tendon (amazing hard jelly texture) and the awesome 'tentacly' tripe. The crunchy spring roll and the sweet and salty nuoc cham sauce was a good accompaniment to the soothing soup. Their red bean milkshake was a good finisher for a great lunch. read more

Pho 51 - House Special Pho with a side of Spring Roll - Vietnamese Near Me - Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

Rare beef pho is known as rare steak pho here. Which actually seems to impact the meat- it wasn't tender and soft and buttery...it was chewy and cooked through too fast. Having said that, , place is clean, the ownership was extremely polite- we walked in at 830 and I said "we will eat quick so we leave before you close at 9"- they were like oh no worries take your time we will still be clearing up. It was great . condiments ( the basil, bean sprouts, lime) were very fresh. portion was huge And that its 2 minutes from home- will probably end up going back. read more

A better alternate choice over the fast food variety in the area, if you like Pho and have other shopping errands in the area. This place was typical ma & pa pho. My dish was filling because of the generous heap of steamed rice, with a sample of meat, vegetable, and a spring roll on top. There's better Pho in food courts (Coquitlam Centre?) at a more reasonable price. read more

Spring roll had a ball of hair in it. Was told by management "don't care" and to do whatever I want with it. Very unprofessional. Will be reporting to Food Safety Canada and Better Business Bureau like I told you I would. Beware. read more

Pho 51 - Spring roll had a ball of hair in it. Was told by management "don't care" and to do whatever I want with it. Refused to offer refund. - Vietnamese Near Me - Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

Ordered the beef stew noodle and grilled chicken on rice and both were poorly made. The beef was not tender and the grilled chicken was bland and dry. Will not be visiting here again (this was our first time), there are way better Pho places in Vancouver at this price point! read more

My fave pho place in poco. Always busy on a Sunday afternoon. Food is so good I love the rare pho and the salad rolls are so fresh and crunchy. The sub is also amazing. I've been going here a long time and will always come back. Service is quick and friendly read more

If watery no flavour Pho with chewy low quality meat in it and service without a smile turns you on, by all means eat at Pho 51. Otherwise, maybe avoid this place. This is the second time I have eaten at Pho 51, strictly because I had a Vietnamese craving. I will NOT be going back to this restaurant. So many far better quality restaurants local. I love Vietnamese food. :-( read more

Came here with my wife on a Saturday afternoon. Both of us were craving for some bun bo hue so we decided on this restaurant as we were shopping nearby. Clean establishment, waiters were courteous and friendly. I was worried about the authenticity of the food as we were the only asians in the packed restaurant. Surprisingly, the bun bo hue was quite authentic. Flavor was spot on but no pigs feet or pork blood that you get in the traditional bun bo hue, but no biggy. Good generous portions but expect to pay a dollar or two more than other Pho restaurants. read more

Today was the last time we will ever visit, we were weekly visitors. I understand that tipping is a custom, but I don't believe in tipping for family businesses. Not here to debate that. What I find very frustrating is the entitlement mentality. I cannot believe that the server (a relative), in jogging pants and a t-shirt felt like he has he right to ask me why I didn't tip. Thankfully there are many other restaurants to choose from. read more

I had the pho rare beef and brisket , and phoned in for pick up , very courteous and pleasant staff , asked for a bit more bean sprouts and was happily accommodated, would come back too , the broth could have had more depth of flavour but that said , was very good and was satisfied read more

SANITATION ALERT. I've come here previously and the food is generally good. But today was the last time I will step foot in there. When picking up my food, I saw multiple employees preparing what I'm guessing are spring and salad rolls on tables in the main dining area. That's not even the issue. I'm guessing the manager (he didn't have a pho 51 shirt but seemed to be running things) was sitting at a table separating sheets of wonton or rice paper without gloves, continuously touching his phone, and scratching his face, while handling food. Absolutely disgusting. Some Other employees were wearing gloves but not everyone. Seriously?! If you value cleanliness and general sanitation and health codes, don't eat here. read more

Been there twice. Will go again. Busy little place. Super clean both times we went. Staff very friendly. Had Phò Tai both times. Not the best I've had but more than just decent. Rich broth. Spring rolls also good. read more

Favourite pho place ever! Super friendly staff, have had lots of different dish's and everything has been great.

Great little spot. People are friendly and the portions are huge. Could have stopped after the shrimp roll starter. It's in the middle of the Walmart parking lot which make the view pretty entertaining. read more

No customer service & from the owner no less! Was a regular customer ate there ate least 2x eating in and taking out a week over the last 3 years sometimes more but never again twice in a row they forgot my order left me sitting there watching my husband eat his meal. He completely finished his meal before I received mine they would rather throw your meal out then wrap it up for you to take and give it to you complimentary to say sorry just excuses about how quick soup comes up compared to what I ordered & would rather lose you as a customer. Like people don't come there to eat together.......Shameful behavior for a business owner. Never acknowledges anything wrong when it goes wrong not even plastic wrap in your salad. There are othe Pho restaurants and they will be getting my money from now on not that greedy human being:( read more

Love the Pho here! They are attentive to get you seated but you are promptly ignored once you're in and food ordered. When you're finished eating you pretty much have to flag someone down so you can pay or you'll sit there for an hour waiting. The tasty food here outweighs the occasional poor service for me though so I keep going back. read more

Good food, both quality and presentation. B6 was well prepared, chicken was tasty and not greasy.

Disappointing the fish sauce was awful and ruined my food cheap ingredients expensive food . I think the pho might be ok.but do yourself a favour and go to pho song in maple ridge. I have to say that they took my complaint and didn't charge me for my food so I gave them one more star for customer service! read more

Came here for the first time during a late night last December for some take out. I wasn't expecting much, but I was very surprised by how good the rice combo tasted. Recently, I was in the neighborhood and decided to get takeout again. Unfortunately, the taste and quality of the food didn't match my first experience. Pretty much all the protein in the combo was either overcooked or very dry. For what was being charged, I expected some consistency and attention when making the dish. Fair to say, I won't be coming back here again. read more

I love pho, and was skeptical about another Pho XX, but what a pleasant surprise! Lots of meat, with a great flavoured broth. Staff were very pleasant as well. read more

Been there only once when it was new. Pho average and daughter and wife not too impress with their dishes. Place was clean and service average. Everybody's got different taste buds and I thought the Pho broth was bland. Will not go back as there are better options in Poco and Coquitlam. read more
