    Vermicelli bowl menu items
    Edward T.

    Terrific place with very good tasting pho at reasonable prices of about $18 . Portions are huge! Loved it . Lots of seating space but most tables can only accommodate a group of 4 . Only paid parking in the area .

    If you are looking for something aside from Korean food along north road - look no further - Pho Capital to the rescue ! Service can be a little delayed - however after the order is taken the food arrives a lot quicker. Vermicelli was delicious - however the spring roll didn't provide enough of a crunch - the meat in the bowl was marinated well. Pho was a bit underwhelming - the brother was a tad salty , however nothing a little hot sauce wouldn't fix :) I don't recall hearing any music in this place - or if there was , it was very low volume - you can easily have a conversation in here -. The missing star - Spring roll failed the crunch test - Servers didn't take orders in a timely manner - also server has Ear pods in his ears and kept asking us to repeat things ...

    Food here is fairly decent for this area since there's not much pho restaurants around here. Service is fairly decent and friendly. The atmosphere here is nothing special, just your typical pho restaurant atmosphere.

    Decent Pho in the North Road area. Parking is available in the strip mall lot. The inside is fairly modern. Looks like a family run place though I can't say for sure. Staff are friendly. The seafood pho had good broth, and contained prawns and strips of fake crab. Portions are a bit smaller than the competition. Hit the spot though.

    Pho restaurants are almost the same, but this store made me wanted to come back every time for their spring roll. Their spring roll is packed with delicious ingredients that every bite makes you wanted to have some more. Their fried tofu is super delicious too but I wish it was a bit thicker. The house special pho I had I find the noodle was over cooked a little bit but overall still delicious. With the weather in Vancouver sometimes this kind of dish will keep your tummy warm. Family own business so sometimes the service might be a little slow but generally not bad. Hope you guys will enjoy this place like I do!

    I came here as a recommend from my bro-in-law. Him and his family's been here a few times and apparently, it's the best one in town. And he was right! Coming from Richmond, I thought it would be a so-so at best, but it's definitely got a lot of the Richmond Pho places beat! A small, cozy place, about 10 tables. Friendly and efficient service. So efficient, the server didn't even write anything down when she was taking our order and got them all right for a table of 8. Impressive. The servings are big, like a wash bowl of delicious, hot, flavourful noodle soup! They don't skimp on the protein like some places.

    Marinated Grilled Lemongrass Chicken and Pork Chop on Rice
    PennyandRusty P.

    After running out of places in the South Burnaby and New Westminster area to eat, I've been gradually expanding my range to areas around the Burnaby/Coquitlam border. This area is primarily known for having lots of Korean restaurants but I wasn't really in the mood for Korean so I stopped by Pho Capital. Like most restaurants in this area, Pho Capital is located in a rather nondescript mini mall. The restaurant wasn't very busy during my visit around noon on a weekday but I'm not sure if things pick up later in the day. I ordered the #14 Pho Noodle Soup with Eye of Round Steak, Fatty Beef Brisket, Soft Beef Tendon, and Beef Tripe ($8.50 for a small bowl) also known as Pho Tai, Gau, Gan, Sach. Almost immediately after placing my order, the waitress was back at my table with my meal and a plate of bean spouts, basil, lime wedge, and jalapeño slices. The pho was topped with a couple of pieces of rare beef (something that I look forward to when having pho). Underneath, there were plenty of thinly shaved pieces of brisket and a few pieces of tendon and tripe. The broth was pretty good and I think I'd come back to try some of their other items. As it turns out, I came back about 4 months later and ordered the Marinated Lemongrass Pork Slices and Fried Spring Roll with Veggies ($11.75) or Bun Thit Nurong, Cha Gio. The crispy spring roll was made with a wonton wrapper and the bowl was fairly big (with lots of shredded cabbage underneath). By itself, it lacked a bit of flavour but it was easy enough to kick things up a notch with the tableside sauces. As with my last noodle soup here, the Bun Bo Hue ($10.99 for large) which I ordered at the end of the year, came out really quick. Interestingly, while I was hit with the aroma of this soup as soon as it arrived at my table, it wasn't overly spicy and I resorted to the table sauces to kick it up a notch. In the bowl, there's thin slices of ham, well-done flank, and chunks of chicken balls. The thick, rounded noodles were pretty good and had a nice chew to the bite. On my last visit, I decided to opt for the Marinated Grilled Lemongrass Chicken and Pork Chop on Rice ($12.75) which I found to be okay but a bit dry. Similar to lemongrass pork, there was a lack of flavour which required the use of the tableside sauces. Overall, a fairly no-nonsense Vietnamese establishment with somewhat muted flavours. Note: they only accept cash or debit.

    Pretty normal pho. I didn't taste anything special. Don't order the omelette egg because it will give you a sandwich...which is super weird. Way worse than JinLing Hotel. I would pretty going to XINBAOLIN and Hong sushi. Oger niubi!!! (破音)

    Business card, and our bill.

    We were back to Pho Capital recently for lunch. It was just after 11 am, and we were seeking some tasty, but "on the lighter-side" fare. This fine little Vietnamese restaurant was just 'the' place for our cravings. We (couple) shared their three appetizer offerings: - #50 - fried chicken wings (Canh ga) - 8 pieces - and perfect!! crispy outside, tender, and juicy inside. Yum! - #52 - fried rolls (Cha gio) - 2 pieces, light and crispy covering, and light-flavoured dipping sauce -- served whole (Yea!), not cut into pieces, as done in many Vietnamese restaurants - very flavourful, and tasty. - #53 - salad rolls (Goi cuon) - 2 pieces, thin rice paper coverings, with tasty insides, and peanut (dipping) sauce -- our first taste of such rolls - sure enjoyed them, and that flavourful dipping sauce. It was fun to get back to Pho Capital, and our lunch dining experience was just what we were looking for, and needed. Nice people, and good service, and well-prepared food - our experience there sure worked its magic on us!!

    Small pho #14 ($8.50)
    Susan V.

    Came here for pho because it was close to our hotel but wish we drove out further. The pho is pricey ($8.50 for a small) and portion size was tiny. Not sure if I'm just unfamiliar with average Vancouver pricing but it seemed pricey to me. The broth was meh. Got chicken Wong's too. Deep fried wings can never go wrong. Wings were a bit on the small side but they were good especially dipped in the fish sauce and spices. Ordered summer roll, $4.50 for two rolls! Rolls were wrapped nicely but the contents were not well balanced. There was a lot of noodles in the roll, not enough herbs, and very thin slices of shrimp. Overall, was a good quick meal for what we needed but would venture elsewhere next time.

    Should've read Amy's review earlier lol, this is the real deal. Clean, booth seating in a Viet resto has to be worth at least 1.5 stars, free parking and just new...which i always like. Ordered their signature #15 Pho Soup: eye round steak, well done brisket, fatty brisket/soft tendon/beef tripe so so tender & PLENTY of green scallions & cilantro. A winner, a clear repeat. free parking. casual date no question.

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.

    As usual, I'm late to the party. I've heard about Phnom Penh…read moreand its famous chicken wings ever since I moved to Vancouver, nine-ish years ago. My fellow Yelpers raved about this place when I first moved here, and my kid came here with her school pals 5-6 years ago and also raved about the wings. It's been on my list to come here forever - and last night, finally, I did. It did not disappoint. My kid warned me, there'll probably be a line up waiting to get in (they don't take reservations here. I checked), so we decided to go at an off-time and get an early dinner, around 5pm on Friday. We walked there and, miracle of miracle, there was no line and we got seated right away. (Granted, we got the last vacant table in the place, and when we left after our meal, there already was a line of people waiting to get in). Food-wise...wow. I am NOT one for adventurous eating, so there were dishes on the menu I couldn't comfortably order (I wish I could, but hey, I'm better now than I used to be!). Still, there was lots for me to choose from. And first and foremost, I HAD to try the famous chicken wings. And I can honestly say, they were the best I've ever had: SO SO crunchy and crispy on the outside, and hot and moist on the inside. OMG so so so good. I can't speak highly enough of these! My kid ordered the butter beef. It was tasty and soft ("like butta!"), and the marinade was lovely, but personally, I couldn't get over the...rawness and redness of the meat and juice (which looked like blood to me). For fellow non-adventurous eaters out there, this might not be for you, despite how flavorful it tasted. It was just hard for me to get over how it looked. (I know I'm in a minority here. This dish is one of their most popular and asked-for dishes). We had the garlic dry spare ribs. I love spareribs. These were delicious but a tad too salty and greasy. I brought most of them home and had them today for lunch. I gotta say, they were so much better for me today: less salty, and I blotted off the excess grease. Delicious! My kid ordered a "small" sweet and sour soup with prawns, and wow, it came in a huge black cauldren. I can't imagine ordering a large size. Anyhow, this soup was a stand-out soup - especially for my kid who said she had dreams about it all night (lol)! So complex in flavors - spicy, sweet, savory, chock full of prawns and sprouts and lotus shoots and pineapple chunks and and other delicious stuff.... For me, it was a wee tad too spicy, but wow, even I thought, this is a special soup. So delicious and warming. 10/10. Our servers were prompt and impressively able to efficiently tend to a full house of diners. They got it all down to a science here. One issue of note: my kid had to use the washroom at one point and she left for a very extended period of time. I actually thought at one point that something had happened to her or she was ill, she was gone so long (VERY unlike her). When she returned, she told me it was "quite a hike", around the back of the restaurant and up a flight of stairs, too. I only make note of this in case anyone has mobility issues, know that the bathroom will be difficult (or impossible) for you to access.
