Pho Chan - Grilled lemongrass chicken and beef ribs vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

We were to be in the area yesterday morning, and 'Pho Chan' had been pre-picked for our lunch venue. A much overdue return visit for us, and we were anxious to try their fine Vietnamese fare once again. We arrived about 10:20 am, selected a brightly-lit table along the long side of the restaurant, were greeted by the server as we seated, brought utensils and such, and glasses of hot tea. Service to our table remained courteous and friendly throughout our stay. Food ordered: - Appetizers: crispy pork spring rolls -- prawn salad rolls -- fried chicken wings -- fried fish fillets. - Vermicelli Bowls: grilled sliced beef, pork & spring roll vermicelli bowl. - Noodle Soup: wonton vermicelli noodle soup. The ordered dishes were nicely-sequenced from the kitchen to table, and presentations looking so appetizing. All ingredients -- from the various meats, shellfish & fish, veggies, noodles, to sauces, and broths/stocks -- well-prepared, and tasting so fresh and flavourful. Yeah, we really enjoyed our dining experience at Pho Chan, and were sure happy to have chosen to return once again. read more

Decent pho place in Royal Square. Wasn't sure what to expect considering the name is Chinese instead of Vietnamese, but it turned out not to be an issue. Parking is available in the strip mall lot. Just don't park in the 30 minute spots. Inside looks pretty modern. Staff were friendly. No complaints. The spring rolls use the fluffy Vietnamese rice paper. They are pointier and thinner than most other places. Almost finger sized. Nice and tasty. The satay pho was pretty good I must say. Sprinkled peanuts on top. Soup decent consistency. Beef was fresh. I was happy. Definitely will be back if I'm in the area. read more

Pretty solid vegetarian/vegan pho options, including a satay peanut broth option that was above average. I stopped in for lunch after seeing they had a couple of vegetarian pho options (with vegetable broth), including a regular veggie pho (small: $13; large: $15), and a satay veggie pho (+$1 from the regular pho sizes). I ordered the large satay, and the soup came out in under 10 minutes. The satay broth is much lighter than many other places in Vancouver (e.g., Pho Goodness, Ivy's, Bon Cafe, Baoguette, etc.), but quite tasty, with a sprinkle of roasted peanuts on top, and amped up nicely by their homemade chili oil. Beyond that, you get a huge portion of perfectly cooked rice noodles, a bit of tofu, and lots of veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, green cabbage, onion, green bean). Not the top spot in Greater Van, but another very respectable and satisfying pho spot with vegan options, and a great option if in New West (amongst the best veggie pho in that area). Recommended. read more

Pho Chan - Veggie satay pho (large) - Vietnamese Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

Anytime I can have Vietnamese I do, it's one of my favourite cuisines. I had to run an errand in the area and spotted this restaurant in the strip mall. Decided to go for my go to, lemongrass chicken. Had takeout this time. The chicken thigh was marinated well, a little fatty and could have been trimmed better but it was well cooked, not dry. The pickled daikon and carrots were fabulous! So yummy! Spring roll was great, not crispy but that's on me since I had to drive home so couldn't have it when it was super fresh. I will come back to try the Pho next time! read more

I remember coming here a couple of times before the whole pandemic started and it was decent then. Decided to stop by for a quick lunch since had to do something in this plaza. When walked inside, an old Vietnamese auntie, I assume she's the owner, just pointed and directed us to sit at the table in the middle. Such a warm welcome, but I preferred to sit by a corner table that's empty, but she redirected me back to the middle cause she said it's reserved for another customer in an annoying tone. She could've easy tell me in a nicer way, I should've left cause I already sense things will be going south especially my experiences with these old aunties acting all OG wannabe style. Anyways, took a deep breathe and ordered the following; 1. Strawberry smoothie. If you take 1 frozen strawberry and a bucket of ice and blended it together, that's what I got for a smoothie. We all tried it and no one wanted to drink it.... 2. One small and large house special pho. The broth was okay and a generous portion of noodle but the beef and brisket were too dry and chewy. When the meat tasted powdery it was time to be kind to yourself and stomach and just stop. The first couple of times I came here, the food and service was decent. What happened? New owner? This time around, the services were pretty rude even when I was paying at the counter. The food was a joke; even when the bean sprouts and basil came, it seemed like someone jumped on top of it and flattened it. As for the pho, they looked as good as they tasted. Should've trusted my sense and left before ordering. Total failed from the start till the end. Definitely no repeat and don't recommend this place. A few better pho places within a 5 mins drive. read more

Everyone needs a neighbourhood pho shop. This one is mine. Ever since they moved into Royal Square, they've been busy making a fantastic and consistent broth. Their pho options cover everything from the basics like rare beef to more exotic choices like tendon and tripe. I typically go for the #66 Rare beef and tripe and make it a large for only $1 more. When I'm not in the mood for pho (RARELY), Pho Chan also satisfies my craving for vermicelli bowls and rice dishes combined with different meats. The service is what you'd expect, but nothing more. They aren't ones to chit chat with you about your day, but I don't come here for that. If you're not in the mood to sit down, they also do take-out and have partnered with the common delivery services. read more

This place was packed on weekend lunch time, and deservedly so. There are not many pho places in this area and this hits the spot. I ordered the #80 combo for 2. You get a large beef pho of your choice (I chose #18 which is rare beef slices and beef balls), fried chicken wings, summer roll and spring roll. It was a good way to get a variety of food to try. The pho was really good, I liked the broth which was flavorful and tasty. The summer roll was fresh and the spring roll was crispy. The fried chicken drumlets were yummy when hot. The chili salt dip went very well with it. However, the fried chicken drumlets were so-so once they got cold. So eat it while hot. The pho also did not keep well as leftovers. The rice noodle got too soggy. I would definitely be back again when I am in the area. read more

I highly recommend their spring rolls! Unlike most places that have rolls with thick chewy pastry and dinghy filling, Pho Chan's are wrapped in thin crispy pastry with tons of meat and vegetable inside. A must-try! The other favorite dish of mine is #28 Vermicelli Bun with Grilled Pork, Beef and Spring Rolls. It comes with pickled vegetables and a dipping sauce. The inside is bright and clean with plenty of seating and good service. There are tons of parking outside. They are also busy with takeout orders as well. read more

Even though it's been a sunny day today I still felt like having pho . I went to this restaurant in Burnaby, the interior is spacious and clean . The server greeted me right away and was very courteous. The menu looks great as it has lots to choose from . I ordered half of a salad roll and beef and rare beef slice soup small order . The salad roll was very fresh and crispy, the peanut sauce was a bit too salty . The soup was a bit bland not much flavour and the meat ball didn't taste that fresh . I really liked the spicy sauce. It was gingery and very flavourful . I think they can work on the soup flavour a bit more. They have kids high chair and it's good for families . read more

Although the food is alright, the service will leave you with a bad taste in your mouth.

Definitely one of the better vermicelli bowls I've eaten in the Greater vancouver area. Pretty good value (especially if you do not order from Uber Eats) and the value stood out the most because the chicken and spring rolls are made with more quality and seasoning than I've had for $15CAD at other Vietnamese restaurants. I will definitely be coming back and excited to try other items on their menu. read more

I love the portions at this locations and the price is just right . I usually order the pho house special $9.95or pork chop with rice for $10.95. Servers are always friendly and helpful. I would recommend. Food is good! read more

They have an extensive menu, with many different pho varieties and noodle and rice dishes and of course subs. I ordered a veggie pho with a raw egg in it, thank god they are one of the places that let me have my raw damn egg in my pho. The portion, although I ordered the large one, was overly large! Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and they did not skimp on the amount of bean sprouts and basil they gave me. The broth was super tasty! I had checked Yelp as I normally do before going there so I knew that there was a previous review saying that the spring rolls were a must try and let me tell you they were. They were so delicious! Service was very friendly. I'll totally be back and it's a shame they didn't have places like this in the hood back when I grew up there. read more

Holy smokes is this place good!! My fiancé and I shared the combo #80 with the pho #68. Everything was suuuuuper good. Coming from Seattle and having eaten a lot of pho I can confidently say this is one of the best places. The soup was delicious, loved the spring rolls, summer rolls and fried chicken. DAMN that chicken was good! Everything was beyond delicious and a perfect meal after relaxing at the spa all day. Right next to Art of Sauna (check out my review) and a good wrap to the night. They're open late so it works out perfectly. Would highly recommend them! Service was good. We will definitely be back in BC, head to the spa and over to this place to catch some great food! read more

I have been coming to this place quite a few times so thought I should review. I have ordered a couple things off the menu and usually stick to it. The Bun Bo Hue(Spicy beef Noodle) and combo 73 which is the Grilled Pork and Rice Dish the king of which is the Grilled Pork. Perhaps it is the combination of the flavour of the grilled pork with the delicious spring roll and the variety of spicy sauces you can use but I have become addicted to this specific combo now and only order it. I also usually order a bowl of plain broth on the side which makes for a tasty accompaniment. Service has always been good,prompt and friendly so no complaints. Cleanliness seems to be very good although never been in the kitchen. I would like to try something with grilled beef next time. read more

I've eaten at Pho Chan a handful of times now and I really enjoy it. My boyfriend lives in Burnaby, so when I am at his house and have the hankering for pho, this is my go-to place. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The tables are clean and there is plenty of space. I only ever order pho, so I can't speak for the other dishes, but I really love the broth and the portions are quite large. The broth has a sweet taste to it, a little different than what I've had elsewhere. All in all, I've got nothing bad to say! Check this place out of you are in the area and craving pho! read more

Pho Chan - Rare beef pho! - Vietnamese Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

Pho Chan is a newish (well, newish to me) Vietnamese restaurant that's located in the former Salty's Fish & Chips site in Royal Square Mall in New Westminster. They've done a bit of renos inside this spacious cafe, including painting the walls a bright lime green colour. On my first visit, I decided to try their Grilled Lemongrass Chicken, Spring Roll on Vermicelli ($10.95) Bun Cha Gio, Ga Nuong Sa. This was a big bowl of soft, tender vermicelli noodles topped with fragrant lemongrass chicken, and crispy spring rolls (made with rice paper wrappers). There was an ample amount of chicken in this bowl and I was quite pleased with this dish. On a following visit, I tried their House Special Pho ($8.95 for the large serving).The Pho Dac Biet included sliced rare beef, beef balls, and plenty of tender brisket in a light broth. I like my pho a bit spicy so I added a mix of the three hot sauces that's available tableside. Feeling the need for a quick lunch in November, I dropped by again. This time, I ordered the House Special Banh Mi ($4.50). The Banh Mi Dac Biet was surprisingly served on a non-crusty bun, which I thought to be strange since the crusty bun was always a big selling point to me. Don't get me wrong, the bun was fresh, but I really missed the added texture. Inside the bun was sliced pork, Vietnamese ham, pate, cucumber, pickled carrots, radish, and mayonnaise. Overall, the banh mi would have been much better on a crusty roll but most of the other dishes I've tried were fairly solid and at a reasonable price point. This place gets a bit busy during the noon hour rush on weekdays but I've always been able to find a table. read more

3.5. The pho is decent, but we really like the Bun Bo Hue (no blood in this one), it is spicy and flavourful. The meat is very tender as well. We also like their salad and spring rolls. This place gets busy during peak meal hours so be ready to wait. read more

Ordered take out from this place during work several times. Food is always ready on time - usually ready for pick up in 10mins which is great! They have a variety of pho dishes - typical of most pho restaurants The restaurant itself looks clean in the dining area After having the soup I find myself extremely thirsty, likely cause of the sodium in the broth. Would be nice to have a low sodium option The spring rolls are typical if most restaurants. However, the spring rolls!!! The wrapper looks home made and is very delicious! Love that the order comes with 2pcs! Hits the spot every time If you're wanting a pho place in the area, I would recommend this place. Still need to try their subs! Review to follow for that! read more

I got take out because I was craving Pho one night. I ordered Pho Tai Bo Vien, rare beef and beef balls noodles, for take out pho, it was actually good and it hit the spot for me. The noodles took a little extra time to come apart in the noodles, and its not the best pho I've had, but i will definitely go back and try other things too. read more

Solid cha gios!! They make 'em with the rice wrappers, which I like. The pho was pretty tasty, albeit on the smaller side. I found it odd that they didn't include tripe or tendon (maybe they're catering to the New West demographic?) The broth was really sweet (most definitely one of the sweeter broths I've tried!) Prices are in line with other pho joints in the GVR, definitely worth a visit! read more

New to new west, we hadn't found a Vietnamese place yet. Saw this place on a rainy day and decided to try it. Ordered a beef ball, rare beef, beef brisket pho and a vermicelli to share. So delicious! Also super friendly service and the location is very clean. I'll be back! Often! read more

Their soup is a plain ass broth with absolutely no spice whatsoever. I asked for extra spicey, I got beef broth. I could have made this from home. Garbage. I'll never order from there again. Update: just broke into the sandwich, wasn't bad. Bread was less toasted and more stale then I would have liked, but still passable. read more

We've been looking for vietnamese in New West for a while and this one is one of the best. We'll be back, 100%.

The salad rolls are generous with cooked prawns in every bite, accompanied by a tasty soy and peanut sauce dip (those with nut allergies cannot complain that they weren't warned as there are visible crushed peanuts topping the sauce). The soup and noodle bowls (pho) are served streaming hot and delicious, with a well balanced broth, not too salty and never too oily, and just a touch sweet. The meat is just the right thickness; neither too thin that you can see through it and it disintegrates in the broth nor too thick that it is becomes chewy. The tendon pieces (if you so order) has a pleasing crispness to it. I hope this place sticks around for many years to come - it's become my new favorite go-to-pho (or pho-to-go if I'm in a rush) establishment. read more

Food was good, but service was not. We had to wave the server over to get anything. No napkins on the table. Wanted to order more food, but the fact that we were near the window and the server never checked in on us changed our minds. I am not sure I will go here again. read more

A nice addition to the area. Your generic pho joint with noodles, rice bowls, banh mi and appetizers. One thing I did notice was the menu isn't as extensive as other pho places. I ordered their house special pho which was standard. The broth was light and not too oily or heavy. My friend got the bun bo hue which was okay too. It isn't as flavourful as some of the other BBH options around town. The restaurant is very clean, almost sparse. Service isn't rushed and while most tables were full by the time we left, they still let us stay and chat for a bit. All in all, it was decent and good for where it is. read more

First time at Pho Chan did not disappoint. Arriving at 9 pm, I was seated immediately in the mostly empty restaurant and offered tea or water. Tea, please. And as I usually do, as a measure of each pho restaurant I try, I ordered the pho dac biet, small. It came fast, with all the trimmings. Broth was hot enough to cook my bean sprouts. Nothing worse than the taste of half-cooked bean sprouts adulterating the broth. And it had a subtle sweetness to it, which surprised me but which I thoroughly enjoyed as evidenced by my empty bowl. Sadly, there was no beef tendon to be found. For that, four stars! read more

The food wasn't bad and the price was very reasonable, however I was a little disappointed in the experience. None of the staff members seems thrilled to be there, or slightly friendly. I ordered a vegetarian pho and the salad roll and spring roll side- but asked for them to be made vegetarian. When I received the salad and spring rolls I noticed the salad roll had prawns in it and sent it back- after wards I could hear some arguing in the kitchen about it and someone came back soon after to ask if I just wanted it wrapped up plain (with just noodles and lettuce). I'd noticed on the menu that the vegetarian vermicelli cited tofu in it, so I asked if it was possible to substitute the prawn with the tofu and they told me they didn't have tofu. The salad roll was still good plain albeit plain but I'm pretty sure the spring roll they sent me was not the vegetarian one (both vegetarian and meat spring rolls are on the menu). The pho was pretty lack lustre. The broth was basically water, the vegetables were raw and it wasn't very noodley. There are other pho places in town with friendlier staff, and more flavourful food who are much more accommodating, so I will probably spend my money elsewhere in the future if I'm looking for pho and salad rolls again. I did see they had bahn mi and bo kho on the menu though so perhaps I will give them another chance. read more

They have delicious food, many choices and great portions for the price! This is my go to whenever I am craving takeout.

Surprisingly good decent bowl of pho tucked away in a new west mall. Each bowl of pho comes with the standard fresh Thai basil, slice of lime, and red hot pepper on the side. We order our bowls with specific instruction for chewy noodles. Comes with decent qty (even better if more) of quality beef slices. Broth may not be the the best in town but it is pretty tasty and little bit of kick. Plenty of parking in the front. read more

I ordered this chicken today $5.50 with the salad rolls. The old man serve and tell me to wait 5m to pick up, it's ok and totally make sense because there was no one around there. And after 20m waiting I got my order. I open it and there was no sauce for the salad rolls which is one of the most important thing for the salad rolls. And $5.50 for 5 chicken wings? There was no such different between it vs the one in kfc. Wast time and money. Not recommend. read more
