24/7 Spot along Kingsway - personally think it's better then the other 24/7 Pho/Vietnamese food spots available in the area - however it's nothing to write home about - They have small - slightly awkward parking area along the side of the restaurant - you might find it easier to park along the side streets Servers here are honestly not attentive - they do not check on you what so ever - they'll drop off your tea/water if your lucky and then vanish until you wave them down - and then chase them down to pay your bill. Don't recall hearing any music while being here - however one time they had a staff member literally sleeping on one of the table booths - and you could hear them snoring. - not exactly the vibe you'd expect , however it was a late night adventure. There Fish sauce here is very very weak - I found it nearly tasteless , almost watery - and you'd need to use excessive amounts. Food Quality varies here - sometimes very tasty - other times you have regrets. - The vermicelli bowls are pretty safe, however again hit or miss with the marinated meat quality and quantity - read more

Pho Hong Vietnamese Restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Came here yesterday & felt comfortable to dine-in as it was not crowded and the seating was very well spaced out (the higher ceilings help too). Being that they are in a freestanding building, they have their own free parking. Its been so long that we dined in anywhere so this may be a factor in my rating. Ordered my standards here. Super fast service, large portions (tho the 3 shrimp was a tad skimpy) and reasonable prices. Fresh fruit smoothies that weren't too sweet. It was comforting and a quiet time, which we enjoyed. read more

Seems like a popular spot. My lunch date had been before. My first visit. We both ordered Pho. The service could be more attentive. We were given water when we arrived, and no refill offered until we asked for the bill. You pay at the back so the bill isn't brought to your table. The Pho was OK. Nothing outstanding either good or bad. It was all OK. The area has a lot of restaurants and this place hasn't done its part to stand out. read more

Pho Hong Vietnamese Restaurant - View of entrance from parking lot - Vietnamese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

We came here for early dinner based on our local friend's recommendation. The exterior looked dated but the interior was spacious and new. We ordered beef brisket pho and spring roll. Food came quickly. Portions of noddles were good with plenty of meat and the broth was hot. Unfortunately we felt the taste of the broth, the textures of both meat and noodles were all somewhat blend. Being from California with a high concentration of Vietnamese population and abundant pho restaurants, we have tasted better. read more

This place is the typical neighborhood pho restaurant. A simple setting and standard menu with mostly reasonable prices. (The $4.75 Vietnamese coffee served over a short mug, definitely needed more condensed milk, for that price) The pho broth was ok, but my 'steak and brisket' order didn't have any brisket. The spring rolls were forgettable, but the fried garlic chicken wings were good even though it was lacking in garlic flavour. I liked the generous parking lot, and the large dining area meant there was room to spread out. But don't sit near the customer counter. A constant stream of food delivery guys made for a chaotic atmosphere and lack of distancing. read more

Their wonton soup is delicious, their meat. Spring Roll is amazing. Pretty friendly service too.

24 hours bubble tea and pho and chicken + looooota napkins = where have you been my whole life oh and the pho is sooooo good, it hugged my soul. I got the chicken noodle soup pho and my body thanked me. I felt like my soul and the pho became 1. Like it entered my soul. And just gave me the biggest hug ever. It healed all childhood trauma ever. This is exactly what my soul needed at 3am on a Friday night. Thank you pho hong Vietnamese restaurant. You have earned yourself a very loyal customer.

Pho Hong Vietnamese Restaurant - Fire - Vietnamese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Price: ~$13/ person average price Food: 7.5/10 great portion but lack of flavour Service: 9/10 helpful and welcoming staffs Space: 9/10 clean and comfortable place Orders: Rice with grilled pork: $12.50 Thinly sliced pork, nicely seasoned, but too dry. The cooked rice is not similar, some part is slightly dry and some part is barely soggy. Fish sauce served with full sweet and sour salty flavour pushes satisfactorily with the rice. Pickles are made from carrots, radishes to enhance the flavour of the plate. Also, there is a bowl of hot soup to serve, but I think it's pho broth. Rice with chicken lemongrass: $12.50 The rice part also had a similar problem. However, the chicken is marinated very nicely. The meat is delicious, soft, and not dry with incredibly strong lemongrass flavoured. Having dried onions on top makes the chicken even tastier. ( Must try ) Bun bo Hue: $11 The main ingredients are vermicelli, beef, beef ball, pork ball, and a distinctive red broth. The beef is tender and delicious. Other ingredients to eat are also soft and abundantu. However, the broth is not very rich, less lemongrass, lacking the special flavour of the dish. read more

Am I being pranked? I ordered the chicken pho to go and got a mouth full of oil when I tried the broth - it didn't even have any flavor. Just pure oil.. And I'm not talking a little bit of oil - it literally seems like they were cleaning out a deep fryer and just put it in a pho bowl and labelled it chicken pho. On top of that, THERE WAS A HAIR IN IT. I wish I could post a video to show the severity of this. Absolutely unacceptable. DO NOT eat here. I don't even know how something like this would happen. UPDATE: I put it in the fridge overnight and it turned into a literal PUCK OF OIL!! read more

I've been coming here for years, and by that I mean decades, so when I walked in the other day and noticed a new menu and new owners, I really wondered, what has changed? The menu is different... more variety? Sure, but maybe just slightly different variety. Everything looks similar and good. Certainly newer dishes, nice.. and maybe a touch up on the interior.. meh, whatever, that doesn't sell me, the food does. My go to favorite has always been the Pho, the old #1 and #2 for the missus .. why not, it's called Pho Hong, after all. The new recipe/soup is OK... but just OK. Not as tasty as it was. I would say that it's a bit watery compared to the old soup...not as delicious. Price? This surprised me. .. about 20% more.. so, two Pho soups, small, with two spring-rolls comes to 34$. That's more than I am willing to pay for Pho, and certainly too much when compared to the old soup... so, will I go there again? Probably not. I remember the old Pho and how tasty it was, and this new recipe doesn't match the price point. It's just my opinion... try it out. If you don't like it.. there are lot's of other option. Looking at previous reviews... I see that mine is consistent. The Pho is a more bland, less tasty than before, and more expensive. Take it for what it is. read more

The Pho was a bland, portion size was good, price for 2 bowls of Pho came to $34.13 taxes in OUCH! we went during lunch hour and the place was half empty.

Pho Hong Vietnamese Restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Yesterday, May 28, 2019, we were in the mood for some Vietnamese food. Decided upon Pho Hong on Kingsway, Burnaby. Haven't been there for over a couple of decades but had good memories of the food. We arrived well before noon to avoid the lunch crowd. We didn't had to worry since it never materialized. The server showed us to our table and she actually gave us two menus, one each. A good start. The tea and eating utensils arrived promptly. Another good sign. The server who took our order must be true believer of silence is golden. While waiting for our food we examined the bowls and spoons. One of the spoons had a fair size chip. Our food arrived without delay. The bean sprouts, however, were dull and almost brown looking. We skipped it. The soup noodle didn't seemed right. We then realized it doesn't have the familiar Vietnamese noodle soup aroma. The grilled chicken over rice noodle was tasteless also. Overall it was a very disappointing experience. A return visit is out of the question. read more

This is a Pho place that I go every so often to satisfy Pho cravings. The standards have remained the same for the past few years. Inside, the place remains to be cozy but not up to date. The appearance is more home-styled than upscale fancy styled. This gives insight into the style of food that they serve and the service they provide. Because there are only a few waiters, the time to order is sometimes slower than expected. Nonetheless, the menu is streamlined and easy to order. The food that comes out is above average. It is always hot and freshly made. The broth is not too clear but better than average. The taste of the broth is strong but not overpowering. I ordered number 3 which is the beef balls with slices of beef. Beef balls were fresh and bouncy, an indication that they were freshly made. The slices of beef were decent sized but a bit more would be preferable. The pho noodles were abundant and expected for the price. However, the noodles were of good quality. Altogether, the food and service is quite home-styled. Don't expect fancy boogie Pho but know for sure that it will fill your heart and cravings with warm goodness. read more

I think it was better in the 1990s and it used to be our go-to place for late night pho. Fast forward to now, the place is updated but the quality has dropped. The pho I had was so-so and I doubt I will be back anytime soon. The service is typical perfunctory. If you are in the area and want something hot and soupy, then this will be the place to go, but I will not go out of my way to dine here. read more

Pho Hong Vietnamese Restaurant - #1 small. - Vietnamese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Around this part of the city, there really aren't too many options out here later at night (other than possibly The One). This place has been around since 1994 or so, but honestly, they need to step up their game. Parking is available along the side of the building (tiny gravel lot). The interior is covered in this maroon wallpaper - it honestly looks like someone's bedroom, especially with those curtains. Almost makes one wonder if the staff sleep on the tables at night. If you're feeling really frisky, you can try ordering, and having them serve you at the picnic benches outside. I will admit I am tempted to do this at some point. The place seems to be family run. Nothing wrong with that. The food here was honestly mediocre at best. Dare I say it, it tastes quite a bit like Pho Hoa, the dreaded chain. Yes the food is home-made, but honestly I felt my stomach turn a bit while eating the soup - there was simply something off. I didn't have to make a beeline for the washroom though. I could've sworn the food here was better many many years ago. At this point, unfortunately I have trouble recommending the place. read more

It seems like Pho Hong Vietnamese Restaurant has existed for years. The exterior isn't much to look at... it actually reminds me of an old house (complete will bars on the windows). It's been a number of years since I last visited this place. From what I remembered, service was spotty at best here and my visit in late February confirmed that things haven't really changed much over the years. To be fair, service appeared a bit friendlier for regular patrons and it depended on who was serving you. The interior is laid out in a utilitarian manner with a combination of tables and booths set up in a grid pattern that takes up the entire room. Off the entrance is a small cashier area where you go to pay (cash or debit only). The restaurant filled up by noon so it's still popular with many people. On my first revisit, I ordered the Bun Bo Hue ($9 for large) which contained beef, Vietnamese ham, and chicken balls. There was plenty of thinly cut beef (which wasn't too tender) as well as tender, thick, round rice vermicelli noodles. On a subsequent revisit, I ordered the Bun Thit Nuong, Cha Gio ($11.95). This is a popular dish consisting of grilled lemongrass pork with rice vermicelli and deep-fried spring roll. I had a different waitress on this visit and service was a bit better. This was a very large bowl and was quite filling. They don't use rice paper wrapper in their spring rolls (which was a bit of a disappointment to me) but it wasn't too bad and was freshly fried with a tightly packed filling. I found that the grilled pork, which had some fatty bits in it, was just okay and had a bit of char to some of the pieces. The fish sauce lacks flavour but this is a filling dish if you're looking for something to satisfy your hunger. On my subsequent revisit, I ordered the Lemongrass Chicken with Rice ($10.50) which turned out better than the lemongrass pork. Too bad it didn't come with a spring roll. The chicken had a nice char on it but the meat tended to be on the dry side. Don't even bother with the tomato because that really wasn't very good. Like all of my other meals here, the portion size is very generous. Overall, the food here is fairly average in terms of Vietnamese food with more focus put on giving you large serving sizes instead of flavour. The soup noodles come out very quick but the grilled items take a bit longer to come out. read more

Probably the worst pho on Kingsway. Broth was terrible Meat taste so gamey Cheap with garnish Food court is way better than this place. It's seriously the worst pho I've ever had. Please, if you're craving pho and wanting to eat in Kingsway, just make your way down elsewhere, little minhs, white lotus, something! Not here! Definitely dirty as well. read more

My family and I are regulars at this place; so much so that I don't even remember the last time the servers gave us a menu! It might not be the prettiest restaurant, but you can always rely on them for quality pho and Vietnamese food. Their pho has a delicious, flavourful broth and a nice amount of meat and toppings. The rice noodles themselves are always cooked just right as well. However, my usual order is actually the #37, chicken skewers with rice vermicelli. The chicken skewers are always so juicy and tender, and I usually share with my family because everyone loves them! Moreover, the combination of the vermicelli noodles and fresh veggies with their sauce is so refreshing, slightly tangy, and all around satisfying. I would definitely recommend the #37 if you want to try something other than beef pho. The interior is pretty clean and the atmosphere is cozy. The waiters aren't always the most social, but hey, you're coming for the food, right? This place gets really packed on the weekends, so come early to avoid waiting. Definitely stop by this place if you want to satisfy some Vietnamese food cravings. Who knows, you might just become a regular too! l read more

Pho Hong Vietnamese Restaurant - #37: Chicken skewers with rice vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

This is quite possibly the worst service I have ever received from a pho restaurant. Don't expect any thank you's or smiles here. The decor still resembles a Greek Restaurant, which I think this place used to be. There's grapes on vines, vases and old Greek style paintings. There is one thing saving Pho Hong from going under, - their food. The pho is good and they have a fantastic combo to lure you in. Large pho and spring rolls for $8. If you can ignore the terrible service, then you'll like the pho here. read more

Just like Kenneth N said, this place is a classic! It's been here for decades, my dad even ate here when he immigrated to Canada 35 years ago haha! My dad still loves coming here, the portion sizes are big, and the pho is fairly decent! A large is $7.50, a small is $6.50, or you can upgrade to a combo which includes spring rolls for only a dollar more! It's not the best pho ever, but it's value for the money, service is quick and the food is how you'd expect! read more

It's ok. It's not my favorite, but if I'm in this neighborhood I will not go anywhere else for pho. The spring rolls are so so. The chicken in my #29 was ok, but a little tougher than what I am used to in a Vietnamese restaurant. Perhaps it was an off night? The waitress seemed to rush me to order and get out. Usually she's more pleasant but I guess doing the same thing so many years realizing that's all you're going to do will do that to you. read more

We only tried the Pho so not sure if this applies to everything else... the soup was watery and beef balls were not as tasty. Looked like the type you can buy frozen from the super mart! The cooked beef was ok. I won't be coming back... read more

I remember eating here many many many years ago and I remember liking it. IMHTBO (in my humble taste bud opinion), the Bun Bo Hue here was not the greatest. The onion slices they put in the bowl were thicker and left a huge onion-y after taste. The beef slices were hard to eat and lacked some flavor. Bottom line, I couldn't finish my bowl of BBH. PS. DO NOT order the 3 coloured bean dessert drink from this place. It was just red beans, coconut milk and those red/green agar jelly things. Most importantly, it came in the same size as the regular tea cups - not worth the $3.50 in my opinion! read more

I really enjoyed the pho and spring roll special for $9.50. The pho broth was flavourful. There was a good amount of toppings and noodles. The spring roll was okay. I prefer the traditional rice wraps over the Chinese style spring roll wraps. Filling inside the spring roll was decent. Best part of the experience, food arrived 5 minutes after ordering! That is how things should be when it comes to pho as most items are all prepared in advance. The restaurant has been renovated since the last time I visited this place a few years ago. It made the experience much more enjoyable. read more

Started with server asking if I was ready to order before I sat down. I get that as most pho customer know what they want , but she was kinda rude.

Decor is 1980's abc and not particularly clean. One napkin isn't enough. read more

Big fan, been here countless times! You don't go here for the service, but the food is always good, portions are good, and the price is also good. The triple G's. I usually hit up the #14 which is the spicy Pho, which really isn't all that spicy but has a ton of beef in it which is really good. I also like to have the #30, the lemon grass chicken on rice which is a Vietnamese staple and it's one of my favorite versions of the classic dish. Definitely worth going here, and it's cheap. read more

I came here recently with my uncle and wife. Not much has changed since the last time I came here a couple of years ago. I always get Beef Balls and Flank noodle soup. I had a little bit of a challenge enjoying the soup as it was Burning hot. I mean BURNING, HOT. My wife got the beef noodle soup but with no Flank. She said to me that the Pho was okay. Uncle also said the Pho was mediocre compared to the places he has been (he travels around the world since he is a pilot). Would love to see the staff smiling ! I think it would brighten everyone's day :) read more

This place gives depth to the expression "HOLE-IN-THE-WALL". Not to mention paired up with HORRENDOUS (That's a step from TERRIBLE and HORRIBLE) Service. I don't even know why I bother with tip sometimes. I may as well order from the Kitchen myself and take it to my table. The food on the other hand is not reflective with the type of service that they give here. A lot of flavour, far from bland. IF you were just looking for good food then try this place, but don't focus on anything else other than the food or else you'll get turned off!!

This is my favorite pho restaurant. Granted that I don't live in east van which is littered with vietnamese resturants that I could compare too. This place clearly has the best noodle soup in town. It's just a level above the competition. Perhaps the extra spoon of MSG? I dunno but sure hell tasty. Yes the waitresses are meh whatever attitude. But what do you expect from an Asian restaurant were the average meal cost is 8 dollars(minimum wage rofl). This Ain't fine dining son! It's also noticeably cleaner than most pho places. My chopsticks weren't sticky, yay! Atmosphere is cozy and warm. I would give this place a 3 or 4 stars but the pho is so good that I'll do 5. read more

The broth here is amazing. The rare beef soup is quite a pleasure to eat. The meat is fairly lean and decent cut, The veggies are fresh and they give you a good portion :). The spring rolls are very good too. The slightly oily flaky shell is only a mere preview of the goodness inside! The salad rolls are just ok. I have a beef with people going to a hole in the wall asian place and expecting 5 star dining service. You are not going to get it! The reviews on yelp are heavily weighed on FOOD CONTENT not service! I think its assumed your rating a place in a certain category. It goes without saying that $9 will buy you a giant bowl of soup AND spring roll.... Come now people..Rate with your stomachs not your egos! read more

I can't say this is the best Pho place I've ever had, although to be honest I'm not that picky when it comes to Pho. They have lots of choices whether soup, vermicelli noodle bowls, spring rolls, salad rolls etc. The ambiance has definitely changed, it used to be a very odd italian restaurant looking place. It was dusty, dark and carpeted. They've renovated completely, it feels cleaner and a lot more open and brighter which is good. The service is still pretty bad, the waitress will yell at you asking what you want from across the room, they rarely check on you and hardly smile. All in all its pretty average, but surprisingly a top choice because its fast, convenient, cheap and easy to get to. read more
