    Pho 20

    I ordered the Pho 20 and iced coffee... waited almost 30 minutes to get my order. So, waiting for a pho that long you would expect that this is really especial... not. Sorry to say, the dish did not even compare to other phos I've tasted. The broth lacks the sweetness, a jalapeño was added but does not work. And for 20$, I thought I would be getting the special. But no, I only got two types of beef, the raw beef and the brisket... It doesn't have the tripe, beef balls, and the tendon, which I look forward to when getting pho. To me it was over priced and did not even taste good. 2stars for the iced coffee (even though it cost 6$) and ambiance.

    Definitely worth a stop if you are in Nelson! The food was tasty, if not very authentic. The drinks were as delicious as they were tasty and the service was great. I found the house soft serve ice cream skippable. It had an odd curdled texture and the flavor wasnt for me. Definitely appreciate having multiple veg options to pick from!

    Pho Shizzle
    Tee E.

    I am so torn on this place. The location is great, the service is amazing, and the food is delicious. I had the pho shizzle which is: 24 hour grass-fed beef and organic chicken bone broth, duck & pork meatballs, thin sliced rare beef, rice noodles, mung bean sprouts, thai basil, cilantro, shaved jalapeno. The broth is good? But it's not a typical pho broth. I don't eat noodles, so I subbed them. $1 more for sliced cabbaged. I paid $3 for veggies. I got two pieces of broccolinni, 1 baby bok choy, and 3 slices of carrot. Expensive for what it was, I can understand that though. But they were whole pieces. I had to use a knife and fork. For soup. The duck and pork meatballs aren't made fresh, which destroy the broth. And they're so dry. The rare beef? It's given to you precooked, not raw, like every other pho restaurant when you order it on the side. So it's not as fresh as it should be. It's nice that a restaurant sources some great ingredients, but if you can't do the basics, it's a waste.

    Cool ambience, relaxing music and decent Asian eats in the mountains! The decor is modern and there was a nice mix of people eating at the bar. The menu has something for everyone. Beer and cocktail selection seem wider than the food menu . I knew the pho broth wouldn't be spot on authentic based on Yelp pics (which it wasn't) but a bowl of hot broth, noodles and hormone-free beef HIT THE SPOT! We ordered the prawn spring rolls for appys & it tasted fresh & light. The peanut sauce wasn't authentic (sorry I have to point that out since I'm VNese ) but again, it was still delicious! Their interpretation of VNese food is fresh, local & tasty and I really appreciate that. About the sauces... you aren't a VNese eatery until you nail down the sauces. They had sriracha, hoisin, , Red Boat fish sauce A++++ (top quality, no high fructose corn syrup, pricey stuff, ttly impressed!) & this house made hot sauce that had an awesome kick. We ordered 4 bowls of pho and 2 orders of spring rolls and the bill was $100, thank goodness for the exchange rate! In case you're picky like me, bathroom is super clean. Dessert menu looks yummy but we were too full I'll definitely eat here again before we leave. Thanks Yum Son!

    Charcuterie board
    Melissa J.

    My partner and I were on a road trip to Nelson and Ainsworth last week and tried Yum Son for lunch. My partner ordered the 5 spice and soda, which he thought was very interesting and I had the ha long mythical mix soda which was basically tropical juices mixed with soda. I'm not someone who likes overly sweet drinks so I liked it. We had the lunch special charcuterie board and the pho shizzle noodle soup. The charcuterie board had a freshly baked baguette, oxtail pate, chicken wings, pork belly, pickled veggies, and cured meat. Such a great concept and it was delicious. The pho, although not authentic was very good as well - the broth had a deep beef flavour. We both really liked the atmosphere at Yum Son and found the service great. If we're ever back in the Nelson area we'll definitely visit again!

    This little place was adorable! We were lucky to get a seat right away in the solarium area with big bay doors out to the patio. The decor was really warm and inviting while still being quietly minimal. I ordered a lemon ginger soda that was perfectly sweetened and a nice compliment to the savoury mushroom steamed buns and peaceful noodle bowl that followed. I was excited about the 'buns' because it's hard to find vegetarian steamed buns usually but these were more like flatbread tacos than traditional buns. The bread was soft and the filling was full of flavourful mushrooms so I still enjoyed them! My noodle bowl was so fresh and full of delish herbs and peanuts and perfectly seasoned tofu. We really enjoyed our night out here!

    Boa buns

    Small but quaint location, great atmosphere And even better food! Must try the boa buns and sweet chili wings!!!

    Best salad rolls... ever. Not an exaggeration.
    Brock R.

    I have eaten a lot of salad rolls in my life and these were the best ones I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Larger than normal noodles, great freshly made dip and crisp herbs. So good, my son who hasn't finished a meal in a week ate two! He also hammered back a papaya juice which was aesthetically pleasing in a small carafe with a stylish striped straw. We shared the beef pho. The broth wasn't overly salty and had a wonderful umami taste from ox bone broth. The meal wasn't cheap but we definitely received quality for the price. The service was also polite, attentive, accommodating and thoughtful. Finally, excellent touches with their cutlery and ceramics. First class. Will return.

    Jimmy's Pub & Grill - Pasta Alfredo with vegetables, good garlic bread too

    This place is connected to a hotel in the original part of Creston quite a ways from our hotel on…read morethe edge of town. It's well worth the drive with plenty of parking on the street and close by. It's not a quiet place, being a pub, but doubly so when the Jays are playing the Yankees in the ALDS up two nothing and 12 runs having been scored in the first four innings. If you're looking for peace and quiet go elsewhere. It's an interesting place, with plenty of charisma. The staff writer as great, helpful and accommodating of perhaps a little prone to tending the tables instead of us at the bar. That said we didn't feel neglected at all even though we were left pretty much alone after our food was dropped. My chicken souvlaki was quite good, with big chunks of chicken breast that was very nicely cooked, not dry at all, not easy to accomplish. The potato and rice pilaf was also very good, as was the tzatziki and the pita. Solid meal! The lovely K had the Veggie Alfredo with Caesar salad and garlic bread which was plentiful, piping hot and tasty. The salad we shared was shaved romaine with diced red onion, dill and apple cider vinaigrette. It didn't sound good to me, but we ordered it anyway, and it was really good. Would we go back, hell ya!!

    I had a good time having lunch here at Jimmy's pub. The food is decent and the service was…read morefriendly. The patio here is great too, I definitely would recommend checking it out when in Creston.
