After work I was looking for a place to have dinner in Richmond. Felt like eating something hot with soup. Someone suggested a few places and I picked this restaurant. It is a small Vietnamese restaurant, sitting low profile in the neighbourhood of Capstan. There are plenty parking lots outside. I ordered the fish cake noodle soup which is chef recommended. It took a while to cook. The fish cakes were unlike those in other Vietnamese restaurant, they are soft. The soup tasted soothing and without too much flavours. It is good as an everyday noodle soup. The owner is very nice and welcoming. I will be back again. read more

Pho Han Restaurant - Fish cake noodle soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Don't go for Vietnamese in Richmond often but decided to try out Pho Han Restaurant. It's in the same plaza as Manzo Itamae Japanese, Van. Tea Cafe and Prata-Man Singapore Cuisine. We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (3:30pm). The inside is tiny (3 tables, 6 high stool seats). Service was no frills, tea cups came out lukewarm. - Herbs - bean sprouts, basil and lemon wedges. Basil was limp. - Tan's special spicy pho ($16.99) - generous portion of meat. Best was the brisket, rare sliced sirloin and pork hock. Broth was decent, heat subtle. Puzzled by the raw red onions. - Han's countryside crab noodle soup ($16.00) - bun rieu broth was weak, lacking depth and substance. Plenty of Vietnamese ham. Okay fare but a step below any of the Vietnamese spots along Victoria Drive. read more

Ordered banh mi to go on their website. It said that order will be ready at 7.40 pm. I went there at 8 pm, and order still not ready. They are too busy with the people who eats in. They rushed in making my order, the bread was barely toasted. No crunch and crisp. This is the first time this place messed up my order. Everything else was good tho, chicken was grilled well, pickled veggies were tart and sweet. I've been going here for a long time and tried almost all their menu. I hope they can do better next time. read more

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Great food at decent prices, this has become my favourite and the favourite of many others for Vietnamese food in Richmond! === 2. FOOD We've tried a lot of dishes over many visits (we were fortunate to get 10% off for a large catering order by the way) and all of the dishes were solid: - Sub - Traditional (Vietnamese Ham) ($6) - Sub - Grilled Pork ($6) - Pho - Traditional ($9.50, $2 more for large) - the kitchen sink - Vermicelli - Pork Chop ($12) - tasty but good. - Vermicelli - Beef Short Ribs ($15) - best bet! - Spring Rolls ($5.50) - for three crispy rolls. - Salad Roll ($4) - crispy inside which is neat, ham and shrimp as well. === 3. SERVICE Service is decent, bordering on the edge of rushed. In fact, the downside of the place is that it is so busy - with walk-in, phone-in, dine-in, and online orders. Be sure to call ahead, as your order may take up to 30 minutes! === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's not glamorous if you choose to walk-in or dine in. There are a couple of two-person tables outside and two four-person tables inside along with some bar-style seats at the front window. It's not a big place, so we typically do takeout. Those with wheelchairs and baby strollers would be wise to stick to takeout also. Parking is available in the complex lot, but it's often busy... read more

Excellent spot. 1) They have rice & meat options which are excellent. I also like the fact you can get extra protein like pork chop, beef ribs, eggs, etc. 2) They also provide excellent price and portions. 3) For sure come back when I am in the area. read more

Not bad for pho in richmond in terms of prices, flavour and authenticity but this is a TINY restaurant. With only about 5 tables, they have a smaller menu of mostly pho, rice dishes and sandwiches which was fine for mom and me since we only wanted a light meal. We ordered their choose your own beef pho and a grilled chicken banh mi which were both well priced, light tasting and although a bit smaller in portion, plenty enough to fill us up. Getting to choose our own meats in the noodle soup was a highlight since we could pick and choose exactly what we wanted but be warned, the small is QUITE SMALL. Overall, good place to go if you're looking for a quick and simple Vietnamese meal. read more

Today seemed to be a soup kind of day since it was a mix of rain and snow. My girlfriend and myself were debating on pho or hot pot. But it was an easy decision when I started craving some spring rolls! We both got a number 1 large which is there house special and got spring rolls to share. The soup came hot steamy which was perfect for this kind of day. There was plenty meat and a perfect amount of noodles. The broth was spot on so it made a dark and dreary day like today perfect! The egg rolls were a perfect golden brown which had a super satisfying crunch when biting down. There was plenty filling which was great since most places will have more wrapper than filling. Overall my first visit here was very pleasant and quick since they seated us and served us very quickly. We will definitely come back again sometime to try out what else they have on the menu! read more

This hidden gem does not survive on walk ins. It is the very definition of a "hole in the wall". There are only about 4 to 5 tables. I think you have to know about it already or know someone who knows about it because there is no foot traffic and it is tucked away in a corner where you can't see it driving by. And yet this place got ranked #1 for Pho by Richmond News 2019. Getting back from a trip and looking for some instant comfort food after landing at YVR my partner, a Richmond native took me here. At Pho Han it is all about the food. No fancy decor - just simple straightforward authentic Pho and other Vietnamese dishes served fresh and fast. I ordered a grilled pork on vermicelli with vegetables and a spring roll. My partner ordered a small pho. Definitely hit the spot. read more

Best pho place in Richmond for sure. The other pho places in Richmond cannot compete. I can't believe they don't have a second location already. Lastly, the pho dac biet is indeed very special. read more

Very good taste authentic pho! My go to pho place from now on. The environment can be better thought.

***Stars 3.5 Hidden away in a small strip of restaurants, Pho Han offers some Vietnamese comforts. I came here with my boyfriend and another couple, luckily it wasn't a busy time because the dining area is really small with about 5-6 small tables. Note: Monday's they have 10% off Pho and $2.99 Banh Mi! The Pho broth was light but not too salty. The noodles were tender and chewy. The beef was thinly sliced and fresh but there really wasn't a lot of meat in my bowl of pho. I was satisfied but not the biggest bowl of pho I've had. I recently tried their Banh Mi. I ordered their Cold Cut and their Grilled Pork. The baguette was fresh and crunchy with a nice smear of buttery goodness. The cold cut meat were fresh but there wasn't too much meat included. The grilled pork had a really good grilled smokey flavour and there was more pork meat compared to the cold cut. The pickled carrots and radish were very julienned and the cilantro of course brings the entire Banh Mi all together into a sub of fresh, crisp, delicious flavours. Overall, a decent spot for pho and Banh Mi. Lots of parking but if you come during peak times, there is neighborhood parking as well! *Extra $0.50 charge for debit use if it's under $5. read more

After months of trying pho at shops all over the lower mainland, eating the good, the bad, and the ugly... this weekend I had what has to be the best pho so far. The noodles felt freshly made, soft, tender, and didn't require the chopstick wiggle to loosen them up. The broth was perfectly seasoned, light, well clarified, and unique in that it almost had a sweetness. And then, there was the beef. Rather than piling it in the middle of your bowl, having it cooked by the time it hits you, they lay it out along the side of the bowl in such a way that you can cook it as need be. Beautiful, perfectly rare, perfectly sliced. It was heaven. Tiny spot, with maybe 8 tables, but churns people out quickly. We also had the banhi mi and it was pretty awesome. Super fantastic fantabulousness. Thank god our dealership is close by. I think I might actually get oil changes there just to have a phoxcuse. read more

A great little divey Pho restaurant. I've driven by this place multiple times on my way to and from Costco. After reading good things, I finally decided to give it a try. First thing you notice is that it's pretty small and a bit off to the side from the rest of the strip mall. Next to Manzo. They have maybe 8 tables. Menu is really nice. Clear, professional and easy to read. Regular Pho is $5.99 for small and $6.99 for large. I ordered the Pho with rare steak and meatballs. They have about 4 different sandwiches. I got the cold cut sub for $2.99. Also got Spring rolls for $2.99. That's my main negative of this place, the prices are so good that I ended up ordering too much and had to be carrying out of the restaurant. The food tasted really fresh. That is something that we shouldn't really have to mention since it should be so obvious in good restaurants, but isn't as common as I would like. Total for 2 people came to $22 for 2 Pho, 2 orders of Spring rolls and 1 sub. The rice dishes looked really good. Might have to try that next time, although I might feel weird not getting Pho in a Pho restaurant. read more

The outside already looks pretty dingy looking, but the inside is quite the same. It fits less than 20 diners at a time and is run by husband and wife. We were seated on the side next to the windows and there were bars on the windows for security. S described that it felt like he was in a prison... Anyways, first thing I noticed was that the prices had increased from what I had saw online. Previously, a small pho was only $5.99, but it was now $6.50, so quite comparable to other pho spots. I chose the House Special Beef Noodle Soup and it came with rare sliced sirloin beef which were presented laying on the side of the dish. For some reason, that didn't feel really appetizing to me, even though I eat rare beef. The bowl also came with beef flank, brisket, tendon, meatballs and tripe. The bean sprouts that came with the noodles were old and wilted. The soup itself was okay, but not mind blowing. There is definitely better pho around Richmond. S got the Grilled Lemongrass Pork Chop on Rice, which S complained throughout dinner. The pork chop was dry and most of it was inedible since it was either fat or too chewy. The dish also came with shredded pork, fried egg, and vegetables on rice. To be honest, the plate looked pretty sad and I felt like my parents could do a better job. S obviously was unhappy with the dish. They also completely forgot our order of spring rolls, but we didn't want to give it a try anyways after having our food. Service is also basically non-existent and we had to go up to pay since we weren't able to get the attention of anyone. Pros: - 10% off on Mondays - Pho is somewhat cheaper than other spots Cons: - Poor ambiance and service - Pho is average and pork chop was poor read more

I have only said this for BBQ joints (and not many at that): The beef brisket at this place is melt in your mouth. Compared to all of the good Viet pho places in Lower Mainland, the soup is above par and noodles are on par, price is a tad cheaper. read more

Ordered a chicken pho, chicken vermicelli and a crispy doting roll for our supper yesterday. All three delivered quickly and in perfect condition. read more

The good: Server is nice and accommodating. The place is a neighborhood bodega kinda store so it's cozy though it's not exactly clean as expected. The food: I ordered the Bun Bo Hue, which is a pork and spicy version of the original pho. Hmm, the beef is too tender that doesn't hold up. Booth is straight out of a powder base and it's too salty to my taste. Rice noodle is way too soggy. The verdict: I think it's authentic but it's just not my taste. Feel free to try and maybe you will like it or not. read more

Solid 3.5 stars for the coffee, it's a bit strong and bitter, with the good sweetness too. Worth going back to try their pho soon, from all these glowing reviews. A bit hidden if coming south along Garden City, beside Manzo japanese. free parking. though there's a debit machine, cash is urgently recommended. read more

I really wanted to give this place a fair shot, since there's so much good about it. It's a family owned business with really affordable prices and even a random 10% off on Mondays. Unfortunately it just wasn't my cup of tea. The pho, which is the best dish to get here, tasted underdeveloped. My group also got bun bo hue and bun tom, both of which just tasted like a pho broth base with extra flavorings added on top. Execution was sloppy: the noodles in the bun bo hue were overboiled to the point of soggy and the beef was cut with the grain. My family spent limited time in the area and I wish we had spent one of our limited meals on someplace we'd actually enjoy. read more

As I sit here waiting over 19 min for my food (2 other tables). I'm thinking to myself, holy cow this place is slow! We ordered a SMALL beef pho, lemongrass chicken w/noodles,1 spring roll and an order of salad roll (2). The good, food was good. The bad, I ordered salad rolls but only got one, "one"?, but an order of 2 salad rolls is $3.99. Fish sauce that came with my chicken was so watered done. But more importantly, the service was sooo poor. It's a small restaurant with 6 small tables, there's no excuse to at least come by and refill our tea. I can only describe this place as a "food court" style "order and pay" type of establishment. Soooo reluctant to not tip, but my conscience got the best of me. If you're in a rush, look elsewhere. read more

Pho Han Restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Food and service were decent. I had meatball pho. The broth was good. If you go on certain days and times in the week, you get a discount.

Its a hit an miss for me at this place. Ive been here several times, the service is poor at times, waited 15 mins for food one time, doesnt sound like long, but for Pho, it seemed like an eternity. The food service this time was quick. The Pho soup was average at best, the raw beef, nicely arranged around the edge of the bowl, to prevent overcooking and the beef balls were decent. The worst was the spring roll, came out looking flat and overcooked, and inside was a gooey like filling that i have never seen or tasty before in a spring roll. Gross! If your in the area and looking for a quick bowl of Pho, it will suffice. But take a pass on the spring roll. read more

This place is on my top 3 places in Richmons to eat for vietnamese food. A large bowl of pho is 7.25 and a vietnamese sandwich starts at 3.50, so you cant go wrong. The place only has 8 tables and ran with a tiny kitchen. The pho is simple and balanced and the staff is very friendly and humble. The place is not special looking but it's so small and has so much value in their food, I always recommend this place if you live nearby. *CASH AND DEBIT ONLY Go for: the most inexpensive pho around that is good! Don't go for: fast service, large seating area read more

Good tasting sandwiches at a very good price, probably the best vietnamese sandwiches in Richmond, BC. The pho is fresh and not excessively salty like many typical pho restaurants and lower priced than many other viet places. However, there was one time in which we found a pubic hair in the pho takeout which permanently turned off my girlfriend for life and me! lol I'd probably go back for sandwiches tho. read more

I'd say this place is worth 2.5 stars. We had the pho dac biet, bun bo hue and the grilled pork banh mi. Definitely a small and supposedly family owned business. The service was ok. Our server didn't talk much and only nodded when we spoke to him or gave our order. I was actually afraid that my banh mi would come out way before the pho but surprisingly everyone's pho came and I still had to wait a while for the banh mi to come. The pho dac biet was average. The bun bo hue was ok, not spicy at all to me but tasted perfect for my friend. The banh mi was crisp and the filling tasted good, but it seemed quite hollow to me. It missed the soft fluffy texture and while I was eating it, I noticed something. I wasn't quite sure if it was a hair but it sure looked like one. Kind of grossed me out.... so I don't think I'd be coming back. read more

I live in the area and this is my go to place for Pho. Delicious, affordable pho! Can't go wrong here.

Decent but not the best also ordered beef noodles and broth was good but sprouts weren't fresh. Liked the grilled lemongrass porkchop rice dish as portion was larger than some other restaurants. The grilled lemongrass chicken sub was better than the cold cut sub as key ingredient of pate was missing. read more

My roommate and I have been to this restaurant a few times over the past two weeks. We did not have high expectations as it was just a convenient restaurant near our neighbourhood and the restaurant had no customers everytime we walked by. However, I believe this is because the previous vietnamese restaurant owner at the same location was not good at all. We were very skeptical when a new owner (a young vietnamese couple) took over, but thought we should still give it a chance. It was the best deal we have had for a while! But we did not go back simply because of the price, but also because of the good food. The store stated "No MSG", which is nearly unheard of for vietnamese restaurants, but is true. You can taste homemade vietnamese cooking here. They cook everything right when you order, and the food are all fresh as well. and we have not encountered any dish that is too salty, a common fault for vietnamese noodles. You get your money's worth not in terms of the portion, but the generous meat and vegetable ingredients. The first time we tried their beef noodle soup, which was very good value for the price we paid for. The next time my roommate tried the dry vermicelli which contained pork, spring rolls, and veggies. The pork was cooked nearly to perfection where it is not dry, oily, nor too salty. I tried the lemon grass chicken which came in two pieces when you normally get one in all other restaurants, and once again it was cooked to near perfection. Not dry, oily nor salty. What we liked the most though was their specialty soup. My roommate loved the "spicy soup" which contained pork hock, fish cakes and other ingredients as well. I had another type of special soup that contained shrimp and other "lighter" style of food that was one of the best vietnamese noodles I have had for its price (and we've both had at least 10 different type of vietnamese noodles). Although the service is slow, it is because they prepare everything on the spot for you and the wife cooks most of the stuff herself. They are very warm and friendly and you get a "family" like feeling. I have never written a review for any restaurants, but I really want to give this restaurant a good start as the owners are very sincere (especially the wife!) and their son is just adorable. Compared to many other pretentious restaurants in Greater Vancouver Area now a days, this couple definitely deserved my time to write a review for their hardwork. read more

This is a great little family-run place. The broth is clean and tasty, without being greasy. When you order pho with rare beef, they actually take the time to drape each slice along the edge of your bowl, so they don't become overcooked before it gets to your table (one of my pet pho peeves). Today, I tried the Bun Bo Hue - a regional specialty from Hue, the former capital of Vietnam. Disclaimer: the soup contains pork blood and pork hock so be prepared. Give it a try if you're feeling a little adventurous, though! It's delicious, and not as scary as it might sound. The portions are a little smaller than the average pho joint, but I think what you get in quality is worth it. I also saw people coming in to pick up dozens of Bahn Mi (Vietnamese subs) to go, which I now want to try on my next visit! If you love strong coffee, make sure you get one of their iced coffees with condensed milk to wash everything down. read more
