Honestly, we were surprised by how good this place was, even compared to the many pho joints in Vancouver. Pretty packed for a Thursday lunch. Completely Vietnamese-run, with decent service. My house special pho had tons of on-point meat and wasn't over-the-top salty like a lot of broths. The crispy wonton was especially yummy. Would come by again the next time I'm en route to the US! read more

Terrible English, the restaurant isn't the cleanest, finding parking In there lot is near impossible depending on the time of day. BUT, there food is an absolute gift from the gods. I was in a very serious motorcycle accident in mid 2019 and practically rehabilitated myself with there #27 egg noodle with wonton. Without phò Abbotsford #1 I don't know where I would be. Thank you phò Abbotsford #1. Ps. If your looking to sponsor an enthusiastic young lad I am your man. read more

I ordered a large but only little noodles in the soup. Not even enough to feed up a 2 years old little girl . Also ordered lychee drink , it was HALF cup full. =_= I don't recommend this place . Server wasn't wearing masks ( it's still covid ) read more

Best pho in the Fraser valley. Will come back to Abbotsford for this ! Try the vegetarian pho or the spicy pho. The crispy wontons are to die for. read more

#9 is literally my favourite thing to eat not even from the restaurant just in general. If I was on death row and had to choose a last meal it would be a #9. read more

I decided to give this restaurant a try since I was not in the mood to cook. My first impression is that the place needs some cleaning. I have to say that both the exterior and the interior needs some upkeep. I have been to many pho restaurants and this restaurant was by far the dirtiest. My table and The service isn't the best either. If you need a refill on your tea or water you will just have to ask. The restaurant is very noisy so be prepared to talk loud. I ordered the #19 pho in large size (costs $10.50). The broth is just ok...I have had better in various other restaurants. Overall, it was just a beige experience. I think New Saigon offers better quality food and an impeccable service. I don't think I will return to this eatery any time soon. read more

Amazing Each and every time Service is instant, food served within minutes The broth....oh my gosh, amazing I hit this place up every week, fantastic! In and out within 25 minutes. read more

Disappointment of a pho restaurant. I have been to many pho places in the US and Canada and this is by far one of the worst. Low quality, small portion, dirty environment. read more

This is my go-to place for pho. I've had the brisket pho over 100 times in the last 5 years, it is consistently the same every time. Outstanding and great value. read more

Absolutely the worst food ever!! Went here with my girl friend and I had a beef noodle soup she had chicken balls. Both the dishes were terrible! Mine was like the cheapest tasting noodle and the meat was so over cooked and there was a couple of pieces of fat in my bowl. Also the customer service had to be by far the worst! They never said hi to us when we walked in they just handed us the the menus!! I would suggest that you avoid this place!! We ended up leaving our food and we ate at McDonald's! read more

Rolled into here because it was en route and other Pho restaurants were closed as it was Sunday . There's nothing special about this place. I ordered lemongrass pork chop and Hubbers ordered small pho soup. Our food was good, basic. His- small pho was indeed a small bowl. Not used to seeing such a small bowl. He was happy with the amount of meat in his soup. Mine-Pork chop plus extra pork. Both Tasty. Table for two was over crowded with condiments, plus once you get your waters and then tea then plates plus more condiments, the table was totally full. Ok now the service: dismal to say the least. Oh dear lord, the young man waiter didn't want to be there and the guy that I paid my money to at the cash register really didn't want to be there. I felt like I was annoying him by paying my bill. Hubbers said the men's washroom was filthy. Wouldn't go back. read more

Ordered strictly just prawn salad rolls as I don't eat red meat animals. Came home to pork sausage in my rolls. Nowhere on the menu did it include pork. Ordered the 40.b which is supposed to be "tofu, vegetable with rice noodles"...this is a soup in beef broth which is clear to see from the smell. I called to ask why I spent 20$ on food that wasn't advertised properly and they hung up. I can't eat any of this food. What a waste of my money. read more

This place used to be good but not good anymore. The old man at the counter is very rude to boot. I rather go to any other place which makes you feel welcome. read more

Fellow Yelper Chris H and I had craving for some Vietnamese in Abbotsford and Pho #1 looked to be worth a visit. The decor is pretty typical for a noodle house but the atmosphere is cozy and the service is some of the best I have experienced in years. Their menu is huge and the prices are quite reasonable. I ordered the shrimp salad rolls with peanut sauce to start and the Hu's Choice spicy noodle soup with beef. The rolls were fresh and crisp and the sauce was tasty. The soup was flavourful with just the right amount of spicy heat while the beef was tender and perfectly cooked. To wrap up the meal I ordered a strawberry smoothie with coconut jelly and the owner made my friend a complimentary one as well after making sure that we were satisfied with everything. The warm hospitality shown by the owner of Pho #1 is a reminder of why checking out new restaurants and cuisines can be rewarding. read more

If you like awesome Oriental food in a place that is not too fancy, then Pho Abby #1 Oriental Noodle House is for you. When I entered what appeared as a cafe-style joint with my partner in crime, we were immediately greeted with friendly smiles from the staff. We sat down, enjoyed the complimentary tea (which we did not want, anyway) and water, and began touring the giant menu. The menu is large, and I am sure that there is something in there for everybody who is human (and maybe even a dog or cat). I am particular to mango slushies and salad rolls, so I ordered a slushie and two orders of salad roll appetizers. My partner in crime ordered a dish with lemongrass chicken, barbecue pork, rice, spring rolls, and a little bit of salad. Overall, we rate the food: awesome. The prices at Pho Abby #1 Oriental Noodle House are reasonable and the dishes are filling. One thing that I especially like about the prices on the menu is that they include tax. Other highlights of this Pho adventure include the fact that all the ginger, spicy sauces, tiny mixing bowls, miso soup spoons, and chopsticks that you will ever need for a luncheon are within your grasp on the table, there are two highchairs available, and there is a safety bar in the men's washroom (I did not check the women's, but I should have--and it may have been fun). Overall, I have only one complaint: the waitress never came around to see how we were doing, and I had to ask for a refill of water (one of my pet peeves). However, when I lower my expectations from those of a "cafe-style joint" to that of simply a "cafe," I am happy. If you are trying to impress a chick or a hunk on a first date, do not go to Pho Abby #1 Oriental Noodle House. If you want some casual dining with alright service and tasty menu items that will probably fill you up, then you should go. read more

I use to come here all the time when there wasn't a good pho place in chilliwack. Now that we have pho galaxy in chilliwack I havent been here in a while. Last weekend I was coming back from Vancouver so I decide to try this place again. I order the 10 and lemon grass chicken on rice. The soup was great. I like my food spicy and love there chilli oil. It brings out the extra kick need for most soups. This place makes the very beat lemon grass chicken. I would give the chicken five stars. The owner is alway happy and friendly. He calls me my brother and I feel that way. Another great news is they finally got there liquor license. read more

They definitely stand by their name, one of the best Vietnamese restaurants I've been to in Abbotsford! I recommend trying their vermicelli bowls, very generous sizes and have not let me down! Friendly staff every time I have visited, whether it was for pick-up or a sit-down meal. read more

Love this place, can't go wrong. Good service, good food, and the Strawberry Smoothie with coconut pieces is a must have! Visually it could probably use a face lift, but it's comfortable and the staff are very friendly. read more

Pho Abbotsford #1 - Lunch option E. Delicious! - Vietnamese Near Me - Abbotsford, British Columbia

I cant rave enough about the PHO from this place! I went in there seeing their sign on the road and thinking they have a lot to live up to claiming to be #1, They certainly impressed me with the quality and certainly do live up to the claims of #1! I have been back to this noodle house too many times to count and every time the food leaves me completely satisfied and looking forward to my next bowl! read more

Very tasty pho and spring rolls. The restaurant was clean, and the service was fast. Great little pho place. read more

Amazing food and amazing service! This is the first place I had ever tried Pho as a teenager, and years later it still holds up! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a nice place to eat with delicious food! read more

With a name with "#1" in it, one would expect nothing but quality food when dinning here, and they certainly deliver. This humble little restaurant is located in a busy plaza so parking may be scarce during peak hours. I had the 24 Bun Bo Hue, and it was quite a treat. The broth was exceptionally explosive with flavor. The portions were decent; some ingredients they lacked which other restaurants traditionally include in this dish, were pieces of oxtail and cubes of pig blood. I also ordered the deep fried wontons with s&s sauce which was a nice little appetizer. Overall the prices are fair. (At least they are reasonable enough to not charge you extra for telling them NOT to add a certain ingredient to your dish, unlike Vi-La on Mt. Lehman who try to nickel and dime they customers to help pay for their night-club like interior design) The service was great. The food came out on a timely manner and the staff made sure our drinks were never empty. Make sure to grab some delicious guava-flavored candies from the front after you finish :) read more

This is my favourite Pho in Abbotsford, maybe the lower mainland. It's my go to place and I am never disappointed. My boyfriend and I have tried several different dishes and he likes the Pho with tripe and all that good stuff. I'm more into the chicken and seafood soups and noodle dishes. The service is excellent and I was even given a short lesson on using chopsticks (hasn't helped though, I still end up asking for a fork ). The decor isn't the best but that doesn't bother me, the food makes up for the scenery!) I would highly recommend this restaurant and plan on taking my daughter to enjoy her first Pho meal here when she comes to visit! read more

Decent pho but not the best. Great Vietnamise dive vibe. Washroom usually pretty rank, and owner and family often seem to yell across the restaurant at eachother in their native tongue. It can be a bit much sometimes when they squabble. Hit and miss for portion size, but where else can you get decent pho in Abby? Oh and one time the son sat at the end of our table to watch TV which I found pretty weird and uncomfortable; he seemed quite content and not concerned. Strange folks. Three heavily soiled deep fryers out of five. "Okaaaaay, Tank yoooouuu." read more

This seriously is the #1 pho place! The broth is so flavourful and the portions are very generous and a good price! The staff is pretty friendly and the service is fast. I love coming here! read more

As I'm usually a regular to certain establishments I thought to branch out outside the norm and visit somewhere new. This place is small but cozy, not the prettiest by any-means but if your not hard on appearances then you should be fine. I had a Crispy BBQ chicken with crunchy spring roll and a bowl of Wanton soup. Absolutely delicious! Not to mention quite the deal for the money you pay. I could have contently had only one dish and be most satisfied with the amount I had. The owner is a nice fellow, he can be very attentive, however his accent is thick which means you really have to concentrate to decipher his often cryptic quick speech he ultimately means well. The service ranged from great to alright. Being the meals were smoking hot I often was downing water by the cup fulls and the refills weren't very regular but then again I was downing water by the cup-fulls! But really that just tells you how bloody fast service is that your food is still so hot! All in all I'd say it was a very good venture! Give it a try! read more

Excellent place to eat. Got the standard rare beef pho which was quite good with lots of beef and trimmings. A deff. Must and reasonably priced. Med. pho $8.50 I'd come back anytime. Service was FAST and VERY attentive. read more

I cross an international border regularly just for the pho here . It's as good as I've ever had and cheaper than anywhere in the Bellingham area where I live. I get the chicken pho , I like that they add lemongrass to the dish along with the usual toppings you'd expect with pho . read more

It's called Pho #1 for a reason! It is the best Pho in Abby! I had #11 rare beef noodle and my wife had #9 hot and sour. They were both awesome! The other menu items look really good as well. Very clean and staff is friendly. Will definitely be back here. read more

This is a great little pho place. I felt iffy about eating at an oriental joint in Abbotsford, but this was a great choice.

The food here is awesome! I had the 35# .. Pho it's the best.. Forgot to take a pic.. But it's always good here and the iced Vietnamese coffee is to doe for! Love it! read more

Out of all the pho places I've been to in Abby and chilliwack this place has the best pho. The flavour of the broth is on point and the el dente-ness of the noodle was perfect. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the spring roll wasn't good and it was expensive. I'm giving stars based on food only. If I was to rate the ambiance I would give it 1-2 stars. The restaurant is basically a hole in the wall and inside of the restaurant is kind of dirty and smelly. They use dirty smelly dish clothes to wipe their tables which is a total turn off. read more

Great pho. Service is always good considering this place is usually bustling most evenings.

Went here for lunch as it was rated number one on yelp. As we entered the restaurant the male behind the counter grunted And pointed to a table for us to sit at. We Waited a few minutes and no menus or any other acknowledgement. Another couple entered and was seated immediately and given menus by the female employee. The male employee in their language spoke to the female and motioned to give us menus. She did not even look at us and continued serving the other table with waters. After 10 minutes the male looked at us and continued to see we hadn't been helped and started clearing a table. It was very evident since we did not speak their native tongue like the rest inside we were not welcome. Make your own judgement from our experience. read more

love this restaurant, have to go every couple of weeks . prices are great food awsome and the service is friendly and fast. The owner loves to chat and say hi . a very welcoming atmosphere with an extensive menu. defiantly try this one you will keep coming back read more

Love their Pho Soup!! The people working there are always very pleasant as well. I love the Pho soup and the Salad rolls!!

This place is not what it's cracked up to be. The cuts of meat are poor, and they are shifty when dealing with money. Soup is never the same price twice. Soup should be $8.40 after tax. The one day, she saw that I had $8.50 ready to give her. So she charges me $8.50 even tho is should be 8.40 and takes $.10 and puts it in the tip jar. Yes its only 10 cents, but this kind of stupid was happening EVERYTIME I went there. Three of us were going there religiously every Saturday. Eventho we were repeat customers and they got to know us, they still shafted us. So be aware! read more
