Awesome food, lots of choices. Freshly made and the restaurant is very clean. Not your typical hole in the wall pho joint. Will return!

Lemon grass chicken rice plate
C S.

This is my go to place for pho. They have the best lemon grass chicken on rice ($11.50). It's soooo flavourful and the portion is big! You always get two pieces of chicken with rice and some salad on the side. Their pho is also very good, authentic broth and you can't taste the msg although I'm sure they put it in there..... service can be hit n miss. The older lady with blonde hair is really nice, would start a conversation with you but the rest kind of just look like they want to work and go home. Strongly recommend, decent price and very good food!

We stopped by this restaurant for lunch. We ordered two bowls of pho and an iced Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk. We were seated promptly and given menus. Orders were taken as soon as we flagged a server's attention. Then it went downhill from there. Pho arrived in about 15 minutes later. Good portion for the price. Decent amount of meat. Broth tasted light and did not have a strong fish sauce flavour. We asked the server where was the ice coffee and she said it takes time to make the drink. We kept eating until we finished our meal only to see a server drop off iced coffee at a different table. It took the other customer some time to flag the server that it was not his coffee. The server picked up the coffee and proceeded to drop the coffee off to us. At that point, we refused to take the coffee and asked for the item to remove from our bill. We also realized that the coffee was made in the kitchen. Unlike most restaurants, they do not provide a coffee filter to brew the coffee at the table side. Then you would pour the freshly brewed coffee over a glass of condensed milk and mix the two before pouring into a glass of ice. Who knows how fresh that coffee was? And why would it take over 30 minutes to make? The drinks should always be served early into the meal. The servers did not seem to care about the service they provided. I will not return. I suggest Super Pho VN for similarly loaded pho at a better price and service.

Yayaya they renovated recently, looking good. Best Pho in town, but the service sucks big time. Nice spot for lunch.

Worst service ever! Pho & vermicelli bowls are decent. Salad roll had a fishy unpleasant smell. But the staff are very rude. Prefer Pho 99.

There are only 5 spots in front of this little strip mall and then the sign on their door says "parking in back." When I drove back there it was labeled a loading area for the party supply store next to the restaurant. There was also a huge sign painted across the fence stating "NO PARKING." I finally parked way down the street and walked over. When I asked the girl working there what the deal with the parking in back was, she went to ask the guy cooking in back. She seemed pretty clueless. Anyway I sat down and she came back to tell me I could park in one area just next to the black car back there, but only one spot is available. Some guys at a table nearby overheard and I could hear them saying "yeah, that's not a good idea. There isn't even room to turn around back there. Someone is likely going to wreck back there." Anyway, I was hungry so I ordered my usual grilled shrimp bun - added bonus were the spring rolls on top. I wasn't a huge fan of the garlic ginger satay on the shrimp skewers but it was edible. The disappointing factor was the vermicelli noodles all clumped together. The fish sauce did nothing to alleviate the problem and the noodles seemed to soak the sauce right up - a good indicator that your noodles are way too dry! On top of the food just being meh, the decor in the restaurant looked like somebody's Grammy got sick and their grandkids took over running the biz. Writing all over the walls in marker really brought the class down in this place. The only girl working there in front was also wearing a see-thru button up shirt tied at the waist with a black bra, belly ring, and tight Lulu yoga leggings. Not something I want to see at lunch. The odd pairing of apparel went right along with the decor of the place. Needless to say, avoid this place. There are too many other good options in BC to waste your time here.

We also ordered salad rolls, spring rolls and the deep fried fish cake. Everything tasted great but I think the owners care in his food made all the difference.

Our ferry was running behind, but the owner/manager kindly told us they would wait for us before closing at 8:30 p.m.--a gesture we genuinely appreciated. Service was great, even though they had clearly just finished a busy dinner rush. We ordered the spicy Pho Bo Hue, and it really hit the spot. The broth may not have been the most complex I've tasted, but it was still very good, satisfying, and exactly what we needed. The shrimp summer rolls tasted fresh and were generously sized--two large rolls, each cut in half. The restaurant had the comfortable feel of a neighborhood place with plenty of regulars. Even if only for the genuinely welcoming service, Pho Fresh is well worth trying. Cheers and enjoy!

Recently, I have been visiting Ladner, Tsawwassen area for various purposes, meeting up with…read morefriends, walking with my dog at Centanial Beach, visiting the car wash at the Shell in Tsawwassen etc. Passing by the "Main St" of this lovely little town of Ladner, decided to try their Pho shop, since it is our first time here I have have absolutely no expectations. Our ordered items are as standard as can be: House Special Pho: Good broth to start with, not too salty and do have the necessary herbs in the background but not overwhelming. Can be a little bit more salty tho, added a dash of salt and it was much much better, the rest of the bowl was also done well, sliced beef steak still pink when presented and all other cuts were not dry and tough. Bun Bo Hue: I did noticed that some of the Yelper mentioned that this is not an authentic BBH, as it did not even have the right kind of noodles for this very regional dish, but I did see that on their menu it was mentioned that they use Vermicelli in this soup, also when I made the order the Server did mentioned to me again that it comes with Vermicelli, so I thought why not! I actually like it, it is a change from the "authentic" version. Soup again needs a bit of salt to enhance the flavour, but the herbs and taste of the broth itself was well balanced. The meats in the BBH were also very generous, overall, still a nice bowl of noodle soup, if you insist it is not the real BBH. The Fried Spring Roll also was well made and I like the savory filling that was still moist and not dried out, also the rice paper they use was crisp and not greasy, nice addition to your meal. The shop is pretty old fashioned in their design, but with all the newer Pho shops being modern and hip, it is a nice change to see the Pho shops of the by-gone days!!

Typical neighbourhood pho place. Serves the purpose and good and healthy eats. Cheers! Happy eating!

Pho 37 is in a strip mall in Richmond. Parking can be difficult given the plethora of restaurants,…read moreshops, and boba shops within the strip mall. The wait can also be pretty busy depending on the hours but it moves quickly. I came Sunday during brunch time and for a large party it was 20 minutes. Inside is a large space - make sure to check out the restrooms as they're interesting. Unlike other pho shops, there's no regular or large size - everything is one size and they're giant portions. What really stood out to me at Pho 37 was the sate peanut noodle. Think of it as the peanut satay sauce that comes with spring rolls or Thai chicken skewers. The dish was pretty unique and my favorite. I would come back just for this! The only downside in my visit was the service after ordering. There were a few items that were delivered to our table that wasn't ordered and the items that we did order arrived 10-15 minutes after everything else. However, staff were nice to followup after flagging them the first time.

The waitress insisted to clean the table twice before sitting us, and we felt special. This location isn't very big, but clean and cozy. It's very family friendly, we can see lots of families visiting here. We ordered the chef special noodle soup, Bun Bo Hue noodle soup, and deep fried chicken wings. The broth was clear, rich, yet not salty. There were lots of ingredients in each soup, and make it very flavorful. The chicken wings are fried with fresh oil, you can tell by the color. It's nicely buttered, coated with sweet and salty sauce. When bite into it, it's juicy and crunchy. I also enjoyed original tastes of the chicken wings, very yummy. From the service to the food, this place is going to become one of my regular visiting place. If you are in the area, you should definitely check it out!
