Large bowl pho
Edward T.

Superb performance Pho broth. Good portions and quick friendly service . The server even checked with us later if we were enjoying our meal . One of the best pho places in vancouver hands down. I also enjoyed their deep fried chicken appetizer.

spring roll, pork patty, betal leaf and grilled chicken on vermicelli
Priscilla Y.

Got a banh mi from this neighbourhood restaurant and although it wasn't bad, there was definitely nothing that stood out other than the crispy bread (which was likely purchased from the supermarket next door). There wasnt quite enough chicken in the banh mi and their picked veggies did not have very much flavour. It was an average price at 5.50 but you can't expect too much from a place that doesn't specialize in banh mis! Overall, I would return due to how close it is but probably not for a banh mi.

Vegetable pho (with veggie broth; vegan)
Matt B.

Very bland vegetable pho, but a good portion and tons of veggies. I stopped in to try their vegetable pho (you have to ask for veggie broth; $13.50). The soup came out in about 5 minutes. You get a massive portion of medium width rice noodles and a huge portion of veggies (broccoli, bok choy, green cabbage, carrot and onion) -- no tofu though, which would've been nice. The broth was very mild, without much depth at all. At least they had homemade chili oil sitting on the side to amp things up, which does make it pretty nice. Loved that I got so many veggies, but would've liked some tofu and a more interesting broth. OK veggie pho; there are many better places in Greater Van.

Dirty cups
Anito P.

No desire to come back unfortunately. Stopped by cause my family and I were in the area. Food was decent nothing really stood out. My Stepmom's grilled lemongrass chicken vermicelli looked dried as heck and she confirmed it was extremely over cooked and flavourless. They also forgot to give her fish sauce. Bbh was basically a beef pho with a tint of mildest spice and bland in flavour. Their salad rolls were wrapped nicely and thick but very little prawn mostly filler like vermicelli and shredded carrots. The tea cups were dirty so that was also off putting. I overheard the older lady working there tell a customer how much to tip and to tip first which was odd and rude.

Special Spring Roll (4 pieces, ate one before taking photo)
Ellen H.

I came here looking for a quick dinner after visiting the nearby Fair Haven nursing home at 7 p.m. on a weekday evening, the small space without much room for distancing was almost full. Since I visit nursing home frequently, I waited outside until there was only one table of customers left. I ordered the Steak Garlic Pho as it seemed to be the special dish of this restaurant, I also added a Special Spring Roll. The Steak Garlic Pho was indeed quite good, the steak is tastier than having rare beef in pho. However, because it was near closing time, there was no bean sprouts left. Another disappointment is that some of the noodles stuck together. The Special Spring Roll was also well done, it is tasty but not oily. Both dishes were priced affordably. I will certainly come back to this restaurant again.

Garlic Butter Chicken Wings
PennyandRusty P.

Pho Thai Ha is located in the Killarney Centre on 49th and Elliot in Vancouver. I decided to try this place out because the ratings were pretty good and I've been craving banh mi sandwiches again. However, instead of just ordering a banh mi, I also ordered the Garlic Butter Chicken Wings ($12.50). The wings were okay but nothing special. The House Special Viet Sub ($5.50) wasn't the best that I've had. While the baguette was definitely crusty, I found the inside of the bread was almost a bit stale. Also, there really wasn't much meat in the filling (although the price point does make up for that a bit). The price point here is pretty good but there are better options available nearby.

Store front @ 7:20 pm

Happened to drive by during dinner time & noticed this tiny Pho place. I haven't got high expectations when I entered only find the place is quite spacious, minimal decor and well-lit in "orange/green" wall. The menu is just like the name, as simple as it can be- in black & white, English only with 2 page, no combos & really not much to choose. I am impressed when my food arrives coz they have put an effort to touch up the presentation and make it look nice on every dish. Taste is alright & definitely not MSG free. Service is a-ok. Price is a little above average. I like the washroom roomy & clean & in "apple" green. All in all, three & half star solid.

Came on a weekday afternoon so there was plenty of room. Service is similar to most pho places. I tired the large chef's special and it was yummy. The broth had more flavor than usual. I think it was infused with garlic. Also, the meat was cooked and marinated which added more flavor. I have yet to try to the other dishes, but was very satisfied with the chef's special pho. Overall, it seems like your usual pho restaurant.

Bun Bo Hue
Jennifer Y.

I've had this place bookmarked for the longest time and I have to admit that the only reason why I wanted to eat at this place was because of the restaurant name. The service was alright (it's a small family joint). We walked in about 20 minutes before closing so maybe we caught them by surprise. As usual I ordered my BBH and it was decent. Nothing spectacular but also no complaints. My friend had their regular Pho and loved it. Would I come back? Maybe (it's the only Pho option in this complex.

#1 Rare beef pho with chili oil
Brenda K.

Clean decor, fast service and delicious food. I find the price bit expensive than other places I've been to. Soup was delicious, fresh and not too salty. I've been waiting for this restaurant to open for a long time and was worth to visit. I'll go back soon.

Pho and Bun Cha!
Tú Đ.

THIS PLACE HAS CHANGED TO NEW OWNERS in 2017!!!! it is WAY BETTER!!!!!! Just ate Pho and Bun Cha today at this place, I was born and raised in Hanoi before moving to Canada so I can tell you that Pho here is good. It almost has the same taste of some famous Pho places in Hanoi. I have tried many Vietnamese restaurants in Vancouver, I would rank this place as top 3 best Pho in Vancouver. The noodles are wider than the usual Pho in Vancouver, yes, it tastes better, this kind of noodle is more expense that the more rounded noodles that we see in other Vietnamese restaurant. This place bought more expense beefs so the quality is better than others.The toilet is super clean. I would absolutely come back to this place again.

HIDDEN GEM! Well it's true what they say. The best pho restaurants usually have a number in the…read morename. And I can say this is true across America and Canada. Cali girl here *wave* I tried a bunch of different places but couldn't really say any was a favorite. I finally asked my nail tech what her favorite place was and she recommended Pho 37 and she was not wrong. Then I remembered that my nail tech will never leave me astray. I only had to try their pho once to know, THIS IS IT. Then I had to get their Bun Bo Hue, just tomake sure. The triple crown will be their Banh Mi, which I'm excited to try next but so far 5 stars all the way. Best Pho broth and the best Bun Bo Hue that I've found so far in the downtown Vancouver area. I'm sure as you fan outside of the city limits that there are just as good options but I've finally found my go to spot close to work and home after 3 months of living here. A plus plus is the huge portions but I also have to commend the meat to noodle ratio is just perfect. This is a cute little spot on Robson. Don't sleep on this one, ladies and gents. Dine in or dining out, don't forget to ask for the chilli garlic oil and garlic vinegar on the side. These condiments will level up any dish!

I stopped in around 5:30 p.m. on a Sunday, and nearly every table was full. Even with the crowd, I…read morewas seated right away. The only small issue was that it took a little while before someone came to take my order, and I eventually had to wave someone over. It wasn't a big deal, though, especially considering how busy they were. The portions here are huge, especially for the price. The broth was a little sweeter than I personally prefer, but it was very clean, clear, and flavorful. This is what I look for in a good bowl of pho. The noodles were cooked perfectly and had a nice soft texture. I ordered a combination bowl. My only suggestion would be a bit more of tripe and tendon. The tripe was a little sparse, and I honestly didn't realize I had tendon until I was almost finished with the bowl. But I like those, and not a lot of people do. Despite the restaurant being packed, the staff was stayed attentive, kept food coming out quickly, and did a great job taking care of everyone. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming. There was a nice mix of people. Some quietly watching videos on their phones, others catching up over conversation. It felt like the kind of neighborhood spot that attracts everyone. Overall, this is a convenient, affordable place with good pho and generous portions. If I'm in the area again, I'd definitely come back. .

Went in for lunch with my granddaughter, both of us fans of Vietnamese food. Ordered Green Papaya Salad ($12), Lemongrass Chicken on Vermicelli with one spring roll ($17), one lime soda ($6.50) and one pop ($3). Food arrived within minutes of ordering. Portions were very generous. The salad was perfect with everything very fresh, as it should be but often isn't in some places. Plump prawns and the scent and taste of basil was prominent. Delicious! The lemongrass chicken (we ordered extra chicken) with a spring roll was also very generous. We did not finish it between the two of us. Again, all was fresh, tasty and hot. This is one of our standard orders and Pho Goodness did not disappoint. Granddaughter declared it better than at our regular favourite, and Pho Goodness is around the corner from her home and not a bus ride out to Kingsway! Service was friendly and responsive. We asked that the volume be turned off on the massive TV over our heads (which nobody was watching) (it was), requested a glass for the pop and immediately received a tumbler full of ice. Lovely. We have found a new favourite on Davie Street, a true foodie heaven with a collection of independent restaurants of many ethnicities available. We will return to Pho Goodness when the urge for Vietnamese food strikes again.

On a rain-soaked Vancouver night, just before wandering into the soft glow of the annual Lumiere…read moreFestival, we slipped into Hestia Veggie for warmth and a little shelter from the pitter-patter outside. The rain had settled into that familiar Vancouver rhythm, steady and soft, turning the streets into mirrors beneath the city lights. Inside, everything felt worlds away. Gentle lighting washed over the clean, calm interior, and for a moment, the noise of the wet evening seemed to fall away. It was the kind of quiet exhale you only notice after stepping out of the cold. The curry laksa arrived first, a vibrant bowl of yellow curry filled with broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, vegan shrimp, kale noodles, mushrooms, and coconut milk. Against the grey evening outside, its golden broth looked almost sunlit. It was a dish that seemed perfectly suited to the night, the kind of steaming bowl you imagine wrapping your hands around while rain taps against the windows. The broth was a little watery, but it still carried that small, familiar embrace you reach for on a wet night. The laksa is a dish so many seem to praise, and at first glance, it was easy to understand why. The bright curry, generous vegetables, and colourful ingredients made it look hopeful and inviting. But as we worked our way through the bowl, the balance began to feel a little off. There was considerably more soup than noodles, leaving the dish feeling lighter than expected. The broccoli and cauliflower also had that unmistakable frozen texture, which took away some of the freshness I was hoping for. It wasn't bad, but it felt muted. Like a song that should have been louder, this was a laksa that seemed to have lost a little of its spark somewhere between the kitchen and the table. Then came the smoked eggplant, and suddenly the evening took a more interesting turn. An entire eggplant arrived at the table, beautifully tender and deeply smoky, almost reminiscent of the aroma of a prized cigar. It was topped with Impossible meat, peanuts, salino, and dried shallot, creating a mixture of textures that made every bite feel a little different. The eggplant practically collapsed beneath the fork, its smoky flesh contrasting with the savoury meat and the little bursts of crunch from the peanuts and shallot. The menu mentioned a pineapple sauce, although if it was there, it had quietly disappeared into the background. I couldn't really find it beneath the other flavours. Even so, the eggplant itself had enough character to hold my attention. And then, almost as if the restaurant wanted to remind us exactly why we had come, the Hestia Saffron Curry arrived. This was the moment everything came together. Thick, fragrant, and unapologetically flavourful, the curry carried the kind of warmth that seems to travel beyond the bowl. The saffron shavings melted into the sauce, leaving behind a rich golden colour and an aroma that immediately drew us closer. Beside it sat a little pot of sticky rice, almost ceremonial in its presentation, waiting to be folded into the curry. The sauce clung beautifully to the rice, rich without feeling overwhelming, and each bite brought another layer of fragrance and warmth. There was something deeply comforting about it, the sort of food that doesn't simply fill you up but makes you slow down for a moment. Of everything we ordered that evening, this was easily the standout. Even the space itself seemed to understand the mood. The lighting was thoughtful and warm, the service was friendly, and the menu was broad enough to make you curious about what might be waiting on a future visit. As someone who isn't vegan, I don't often leave a plant-based meal feeling genuinely, completely satisfied. This time, I did. Not just full, but warm in that particular way a good meal can make you feel on a cold night. Eventually, we stepped back outside into the Vancouver rain. The pavement shimmered beneath the festival lights, umbrellas drifted past like dark little sails, and the glow of Lumiere waited somewhere ahead. The cold returned almost immediately, but the warmth of dinner lingered. Walking toward the lights, I found myself thinking less about the dishes that missed the mark and more about that saffron curry, the smoky eggplant, and the feeling of having found a little pocket of warmth on a wet Vancouver evening. Sometimes, that's exactly what you hope a restaurant will give you.

To begin, I'm a chef specializing in Asian cuisine, so I know what I'm talking about!…read more Last night we went to Hestia and ordered three items. The Garden Rolls were absolutely the #1 worst ones we've ever eaten! We've had hundreds of fresh rolls at dozens of places and sadly, none were as tasteless as these. They consisted of noodles, a bit of flavorless tofu and cucumber. Fresh rolls MUST have at least one or more of the following: fresh mint, fresh cilantro or fresh Thai Basil. Hestia's had NONE!. To add insult to injury, the watery sauce also had NO flavor. To add more insult, they were baggy and poorly wrapped and the innards kept falling out. Not fun and definitely not good. The king oyster mushrooms were very good, but there was a ton of pink mayo dousing it. I would have preferred the sauce be in a separate bowl so we could choose how much dipping we'd like to do. The saffron tofu bowl was sensational! Perfectly spiced and full of a huge variety of well-cooked veggies plus the saffron rice was good too. No one came during our meal to ask if we needed anything or to ask how our meal was. The customer service is in need of some work.

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. The veggies were overcooked, but plentiful and nicely chosen. Decent place for veggie pho.
