Possibly the best Banh Mi we have ever had, even compared with options in Vancouver! The pickled in-house carrot and daiko is hand-julienned (not mass-shredded) so it maintains it's amazing crunch. The baguette is baked fresh from a local baker daily. The cilantro and jalapenos add a kick (or pass on these, if you're like me). Perfectly seasoned lemon-grass sliced chicken. Veggie option with tofu available (we didn't try that one). Even the children ate up their sandwiches without complaints. Mmmmm for the whole family! Pro-tip: Check it out earlier in the day (they open at 11am) because we have heard that they often sell out before closing [they accept pre-orders if you're getting five or more sandwiches]. PS. They serve iced-coffee!

They have a steady stream of business. Each time I have come I see construction workers coming and going. They sell frozen pho at the Duncan farmers market and in their restaurant.

Food is consistently good and the wait time is minimal. Great healthier choice than all the fast food places nearby.

They were fresh and the peanut sauce was delicious. The rolls did lack basil though, 4/5. For main, I had the shrimp vermicelli bowl.

Wil have to say, Pho Breeze has to be one of the cleanest PHO places we have tried on the island. Hands down better than Green Leaf in freshness and the bone broth is fragrant in the Pho. Service was professional and family run and owned restaurant, with their own parking lot. The staff and manager were super nice and friendly. So much room and tables, you dont feel cramped like other Pho restaurants. The tables, floors and overall appearance is clean and taken care of. I do recommend giving this place a go. We will be back and finally better than other places on this island.

An absolute gem in Nanaimo!…read more upon the recommendation of a very good buddy, on my way to tofino, i passed by nanaimo for a hearty lunch in this family owned Vietnamese restaurant. Staff and owner very hospitable and welcoming! never in my wildest imagination did i expect to find excellent Vietnamese food the city of Nanaimo. this restaurant puts many Vancouver restaurants to shame. Their level of dedication to their craft is admirable and impressive. For appys...We started with fried wontons and the beef roll. My on my, the wontons were crispy-liciously goood! They were not your typical chinese fried wontons...the wrapper is paper thin and had a yellowish colour. And its because they used the spring roll wrapper to make It, making it super extra crispy. The pork filling was hot and juicy. Seasoned perfextly With a touch of cumin. One bite, and you will be in wonton heaven. the beef roll was truly a unique masterpiece. Whoever thought of putting a friend spring roll inside a salad roll and enveloping it with grill beef is a total genius!! You get a plethora of different textures and flavour profiles. With every bite, you get crunchiness of the spring roll, smokiness of the grilled beef, green leafy vegetables, and juiciness of the pork filling...all rolled into 1 roll! How could you possibly go wrong? Its a masterpiece like that of the mona lisa! We also tried the beef curry. Succulent pieces of beef slowly simmered rich thai curry sauce, Complimented by soft jasmine rice. Not a vietnamese dish, but executed with perfection. Curry was rich and robust. Quality coconut Milk and curry paste was used. Now..unto the pho!!! the ultimate test of an excellent Vietnamese restaurant is the PHO. More specifically, the PHO Broth! the PHo here is nothing short of spectacular! You can tell bec of 3 important factors. One, the aroma. Two, the clarity of the soup ( aka i how clear is it). And three, the taste! ( how deep the beef essence is!) This place exceeded expectations and passed with full flying colours! One sip of the broth, reminded me of vietnam. It was absolutely amazing! Head and shoulders above many restaurants in vancouver. Plus, no msg was used. We never felt Thirsty or craving tea. I could tell there was a lot of time, labour, and love invested into making the broth. No shortcuts! Just sheer excellence from chef. I feel very blessed to have been a patron of such fine vietnamese cuisine. Definitely a must try when in the city of Nanaimo. Service was quick and efficient. Will i repeat? As many times as i can! ;) Cheers! Happy eating!

The spring rolls were a bit underwhelming. I have had better elsewhere and I also prefer them to be made with rice wrapper instead of the wheat wrapper used here. The beef short ribs were tasty.
