    First meal we had in Vancouver and it absolutely hit. Everything we had was made with very fresh ingredients and tasted amazing. Huge portions, casual vibes, and a great price. Would absolutely eat here again.

    Came by for dinner in a Saturday evening and it was the perfect timing since we got the last table! The staff were super accommodating of our larger party and was able to seat all of us together! Tried out the betel beef wraps which took a little longer to take than everyone else's dishes but it was soooo worth the wait. The beef was super fragrant and spring rolls really crispy!

    Nice spot for pho. It gets pretty busy here but service is fast. Water is refilled frequently. I ordered the #20 pho and it had a bit of everything. Also enjoyed the chili oil with the noodles. Cash and debit only.

    Decent pho place on Main. Parking is available on the side streets. The place is a bit cramped. Theme is pretty bare bones, with some pictures on the wall. Some of the tables have benches instead of chairs. Staff were friendly. Pho is quite decent. Broth is nice and clear, but noticeably saltier than other places. Not sure if this is intentional, but something to keep in mind. Meat is fresh and tasty. Noodles aren't soggy. Not a bad place to check out if one is in the area.

    Prices are very good for the area. Keep in mind it is cash/ debit only. I had the vermicelli bowl, which was good. My favourite part was actually the spring roll. It gets busy fast, so expect to wait for a table.

    Bun Chay + Lychee Smoothie
    Dana S.

    Had a very good meal here, bun chay (tofu, vegetables, and spring roll on vermicelli) and lychee smoothie. The tofu was cooked in a sweet and savoury teriyaki sauce which was a nice change of pace from the lemongrass sauce that's more common, and it wasn't oily at all. The bowl came out freshly prepared with everything crisp and piping hot. Generous and filling portion, balanced between protein, veggies, and vermicelli (lots of each). The lychee smoothie was evidently made with real fruit because I got a few (only a few) small chunks of lychee, and the flavour was very juicy. My total was about $24 dollars (before tip), so not a bargain, but sensible for the amount of food and the good quality. As an aside, they make most their own condiments in house, and those that I had with my bowl were great. You can buy jars to take home. The vegetarian options are helpfully listed in their own section of the menu. There are sufficient options, basically one veggie version of each type of dish. The staff was very brisk but not unfriendly. Just working efficiently and no extra frills, which is common for this type of place. The wait time for my food was reasonable with how busy they were. Not much to speak of in terms of ambiance, it was a little hectic with so many people coming in for takeout and standing around near the register in the back of the restaurant, and the walls and some the furniture are showing their age, but if you don't mind those things, it's comfortable enough. I wouldn't go out of my way for this, but luckily the location is convenient, so I'd definitely return, and I'd recommend it for Mount Pleasant folks craving traditional Vietnamese.

    Bun bo hue
    Rachel L.

    Such a disappointment with their bun bo hue. It's literally a regular pho with chili oil. There was no viet sausage, shrimp paste or congealed blood. It was a few pieces of beef and a single beef ball. The portions are not very big. And although the soup base was good, I had such a bad headache and so thirsty afterwards. Not a satisfying meal at all.

    Kenneth W.

    Oh man, you gotta try their lemongrass chicken banhmi! It's made with grilled chicken hot off the stove so you enjoy a rich taste with all the aroma. We ordered take out so it's probably even better at the restaurant.

    # 22: brisket and rare beef
    Poonam S.

    The prices are reasonable : about $13 for each bowl. The quality was good. The quantity is very good! The service was OK - they were either tired or just simply not in the mood to say hello and thank you. But as I observed people come in, I noticed they were 'selective' with whom they greeted. Seems discriminatory to me! Ah well, that was my observation! They need to address the hygiene in their washroom, it was filthy! If i'd seen the condition before I ordered, I would've never eaten here. The food is good and I feel like I should give them more than 2 stars but the washroom hygiene and lack of enthusiasm in their services got me thinking.....for now i'll give 2 stars because my experience didn't deserve a 3 star. I hope small changes are made because they make good food!

    Disgusting

    Just ordered pho and wings from pho goodness... horrible. When the order arrived I opened the box to find wings that looked like it was yesterdays left overs.. half eaten and stale. What kind of business would ok this for delivery? Gross. So disappointed

    Went to this place for the first time and I was surprised it was cash only. The server was a bit rude and I didnt really want to come back. Food was okay but I was not overly impressed. I had found that other places had better service and food. My meat was not great. It was rubbery and I would much rather go someplace else.

    Spicy sate
    Ricky C.

    I usually order vermicelli bowls, but this is one of the few Vietnamese restaurants that I absolutely love ordering pho from! The broth is so flavorful and they give generous portions. I also tried their pho with the spicy sate add on and it was also very delicious!

    First meal back after our Europe trip. Time for some Asian food. We wanted to check out Toshi for sushi but they had an insane wait list of 30 people. Decided to try Pho Goodness. They have a second location on Davies Street. We dropped in on a Tuesday evening (around 8:15pm) and it was busy. Service is standard fare. Go up to the counter at the back to pay. The menu consists of starters, banh mi, pho, noodle soups, rice dishes, vermicelli noodles, vegetarian options and drinks. They also have an option to add a spicy peanut sate broth ($1.75 extra). - Herbs - bean sprouts, Thai basil and lemon wedges. - Pho dac biet (#20) ($10.95) - rare beef, brisket, beef balls and tripe. Rare beef was the best of their meat offerings. We added the peanut sate ($1.75) which wasn't too spicy but on the salty side. I've had better sate elsewhere. - Bun cha ca ($11.50) - aka. fish cake noodle soup. This came with homemade fish cakes, tomato and celery. Nowhere close to the quality you get at Hoang Yen. Broth lacked depth and the fish cakes had no meaty substance. - Bun thit nuong tom (#45) ($11.50) - we ordered this for takeout. Oddly, they don't bring it to the table and didn't let us know it was ready. Nothing really stood out at PG. Decent but there's much better Vietnamese options. 2.5 stars.

The space is much nicer, with high ceilings and lots of light - great looking bistro. I ended up trying the following: - Mussels: Very good. Classic dish, but I really like the use of cream in the broth. - Bánh Mì Cay Hải Phòng (Spicy Baguette Sticks): Good. A nice little snack, although it would be easy to recreate at home. - Lamb Chops: Very good. Cooked just right, and the pepper sauce added extra flavour. - Fried Frog Legs: Very good. This was probably the surprise dish for me. They weren't just the legs, but the entire bottom of the frog, so the pieces were huge. The garlic, butter and chili flakes gave it a extra punch. I really enjoyed this one. - Pho Bo: Good. Not the best pho I've had, but it's good enough to stand on it's own. Service was quite good. Very cheerful and quite attentive. Overall a nice meal. It's a great space, the food is solid, and service to match. What I really like is having the variety of both French and Vietnamese dishes, without either of them suffering in quality. Only downside is that is it expensive for what you get.

The bone broth was good and the price for the mini version is good for a light lunch. We both enjoyed the spicy baguette stick with the pork pate. A pleasant surprise. However i find the escargot a bit pricey with the quantity and the way it was prepared. Slightly too oily to my personal prefence The iced vietnamese coffee we ordered tasted similar to a regular iced coffee, missing the sweet condensed milk flavor for a vietnamese coffee

My wife and I stopped in for dinner one evening and each ordered the aforementioned noodle soup--she got a small ($11.75 plus tax) and I got a regular ($12.75 plus tax). We also got an order of salad rolls ($7.50 plus tax), which comes with 2 rolls. The rolls came quite late. They were pretty standard, coming with fried tofu, vermicelli, and lettuce. The peanut dipping sauce was on the liquidy, salty soy sauce side of things -- I wish it were creamier and less salty. 3/5 The soups were decent. The broth was peppery, with some nice, gentle spices detectable in there. I asked for a side of chili oil, which helped amplify the broth. You get a generous portion of noodles, fried tofu, and vegetables (broccoli, bok choy, carrot). Unfortunately the veggies were quite overcooked -- the broccoli was almost soggy, so were the carrots and bok choy. 3/5 All in all, middle-of-the-road veggie pho. The broth is pleasant.
