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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
This restaurant is a great place in New Westminster for Vietnamese food. I come here in the winter for Pho and spring and summer for vermicelli bowls.
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 .
We've been back numerous times at this point and it has quickly become our favorite spot. The spring rolls are ridiculous. Would love to see a grilled pork banh mi added to the assortment.
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.
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!
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.

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

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

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

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
