#P6 - beef brisket and meatball
Carolyn L.

Decent pho along Lonsdale Ave. It is great on a cool evening and you want something quick and hot to warm you up. Service is ok and the pho is served very soon after you order. I had the beef brisket and beef balls pho. I will not say it is the best pho around but it is good enough to go back again if I am in the area. There is a TV so you can entertain yourself if dining alone with watching whatever program is on.

Grilled chicken on rice.

With limited choices of Vietnamese Cuisine in the North Shore, Pho Spot located on Lonsdale stood out likea sore thumb due to its great location. As you walk in, the place has plenty of seating and cleanliness vibe to it. They have televisions for quick news reports for those eating alone. I would not say that this is a place to bring a date, however it may be a good option for a quick take out. In terms of food, my impressions are the following; - plenty but not overwhelming amount of choices in the food menu. - the picture in the menu looks better than the meal - slightly overprice - no happy hour - i got the grilled chicken on rice and it was delicious but not great. - it lacked a little bit of seasoning - wasn't impress of the dish in comparison to the price. It is most likely that I will try out this place again and re judge my experience. But until I do so, my opinion as an average nothing special restaurant will remain the same. Cheers, Dave from Vancity

Bun bo hue

I had the bun bo hue which is one of their chef's specials! It didn't disappoint on a cold winter day. Service is quick. The broth was flavourful and there was a good ratio of meat and veggies. If you want try something other than pho and can take a little spice, this would be the dish to try.

I live in North Van and after being mildly underwhelmed [if that's a word] by the Pho offerings in Nvan I made a decision to visit Pho Spot . I did this based of the great reviews its received on Yelp. I generally find its worth the time and effort to place your carcass in the car and head at least as far as Boa Chau before finding a bowl of broth worthy of its noodles and meat. And that's what I generally do. Not because Im particularly pissy about where I eat or what I pay. I just know that the chances of being let down by any Asian meal is less likely when I cross a bridge. I would love to stay on my side of the bridge , have a regular place to go for less than lovely ambience , terrible service and a cash only experience for a great bowl of Pho. Such is the reason I looked forward to todays marked effort at 1442 Lonsdale. Place is nice. Clean , lots of room between tables was not usual. Great plastic menus with loads of pictures. Half the tables were occupied. Fast service and I ordered the special. Bits of everything from beef balls to tripe and thin sliced tendon. A fast large bowl arrived with a small side of sprouts and a less than usual serving of basil. First taste, broth is great. Slightly sweet and salty. Fragrant star anise, lemon grass and ginger. Small serving of perfectly cooked rice noodles. So whats the problem? None really. It is the best bowl of broth and noodles in North Van. My friend had the chicken Bun which he liked. Looked great. Fresh chopped veggies, clean, bright. Price is great. Service is excellent. This is the best bowl of Pho in North Van. Its not Kingsway but it will save me a trip to Kingsway when im feeling lazy...

Number 14 with all the fixings (aka tripe, beef balls, rare steak) and chicken wings in the back ground.

Very tasty! After an epic hike we decided pho was in order. Strange? Not at all! The soupy goodness helped ease away the achy pains already settling in and the generous amounts of noodles and toppings were perfect for filling out very empty stomachs. I would say the broth here was pretty epic for the pho, the beef stew broth was not bad either. We also ordered the Vietnamese style chicken wings which was the only down side of the meal. They were nice and crispy bit had barely any seasoning. The dip was a stage tomato based one. Maybe trying to mimic Vietnamese ragu? It's possible, bit it was definitely a miss. Overall, great place for pho and a Viet coffee!

Albeit I haven't had Pho in a while, theirs was amazing from the first sip. And the Bahn Mi also so good. Very flavourful.

The best by far in North Shore! The order is always fast, soup not too salty, grilled chicken is so soft, and the price is right!

A most stunning tasting experience, I had here at Phnom Penh in Chinatown…read more PP has been on my radar for some time & I finally made it here. PP has been going strong since 1985 - not an easy achievement in the restaurant industry. PP has that older type restaurant feel inside, but it is very lively as waiters fly by with orders to deliver to tables. Yelpies, order these three items & the say less while you wait for them. Butter Beef (Thinly sliced rare beef) Garlic Wings (heavy on the garlic - FYI) Filet Beef Luc Lac (Tender stir-fried beef) I had a Vietnamese coffee, but it was lame. I've had better elsewhere. The taste of these dishes is orgasmic. I didn't notice nor feel a high sodium content but perhaps maybe a hint of MSG. Regardless, there's a reason why PP has won several awards year after year, including the prestigious - Michelin. Get here ASAP & find out why PP continues to impress foody lovers from everywhere. Warning, this whole area is certified - pure ghetto. Bring your car down here at your own inconvenience. Take transit or uber to get here. Zombies are everywhere. A weird side note - it appears GoDaddy hijacked PPs website. Use IG or Open Table reservations for reference & menu options.

Always seeing people line up at the door shows that this restaurant truly has something special …read more When we finally got our table, the food exceeded our expectations. The chicken wings should be called crack wings HIGHLY addictive. The deep-fried squid is prepared the same way as the chicken wings, and the calamari was amazingly tender. The Butter beef was simply fantastic, with flavors that balanced sweetness and saltiness perfectly, topped with delicious accompaniments. I wish the pea shoots had a bit more flavor, but they were cooked just right tender with a satisfying crunch, not overdone. Overall I give this experience 5/5!!
