I had the Chicken Pho 2 weeks ago and I've had it about 4x since. Absolutely delicious little gem of a place. Really glad I found it...

Best Pho I have eaten. Amazing stock lightly flavoured with spring onion and ginger. I am sure some people like more spice / chilli, but it can always be added.

Wholesome family business with great tasting Vietnamese food and delightful service. I actually got a cute little performance from their kids practicing the piano whilst here! I was getting a bit over all the lobster rolls/burger and chips, so decided to come here - a little away from the tourist crowds along the waterfront and Queen St. The Chicken Pho/Chicken Noodle Soup was delicious, as were the Fried Vegetarian Spring Rolls and the Icecream with puréed avocado (definitely worth trying if you haven’t had it before). Also very affordable! Absolutely worth trying whilst in Charlottetown.

Lovely restaurant, lovely owners, and piping hot food! The chicken pho is well seasoned. We also had the spring rolls, grilled pork, and vermicelli (item 2.2 on the menu) and it was delicious. Authentic Vietnamese food!

May Deli, a Japanese/Vietnamese restaurant in the city center, tastes very good. The service is very good. The sashimi is very tasty, the fish is thick and large, and it is also very fresh. The fried shrimp tempura, is absolutely amazing. The shrimp meat is huge and chewy.

This is moreso a sushi restaurant than a pho place, as theres only the chicken pho. That being said, the pho wasnt horribly offensive as the other restaurant down the street. The chicken was flavourful, but the soup could definitely use a little more flavour. It seems like none of the Vietnamese restaurants on the Island offer the extra basil/beansprouts/lime combo so that is disappointing as the chicken pho had not much extra protein or vegetables.

Fantastic food. I highly recommend it. I was visiting Charlottetown for work and ate here almost every night. I have tried many different Vietnamese restaurants over the years, and this is one of the best. The owners are very nice. If you are looking for a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere with great food, then this is the place to visit.

We were here on a rainy afternoon. We had pho, fried rice, pork, spring rolls, pudding, and their ice coffee(with and w/o condensed milk). All dishes and drinks were luscious. The food is above par to other Vietnamese places around the world. The restaurant is nice and cozy. It s our first time in PEI and we are happy to have lunched here.

Firstly, the waitress was lovely. Very sweet. The food, however, was puzzlingly awful. I ordered the vermicelli . It had no taste whatsoever. What confuses me is that there are hundreds of perfectly good recipes for Nuoc chom (the sweet, salty and sour dressing that goes with the vermicelli) on the internet but this restaurant was somehow incapable of making it ? No idea where the good reviews came from. Spring rolls were fine-

I have not seen it ever... The food is ok, we were the first one in and we are family of 4.. it took an hour for my son to get food and all others got the food already.. waiter was very nice but preferences r giving to people who speak Chinese/ Vietnamese.. I would not recommend this place to anyone if you want to be treated equally . I would understand they would be busy .. not recommending.. btw food was ok.. not great not horrific

Decided to try this restaurant while visiting Charlottetown based on the great reviews. The waiter was very nice and accommodated us with a high chair for our baby. I dont eat pork and had asked if they could change the pork vermicelli for chicken and the waiter said no, so be prepared that they will not accommodate dietary restrictions. I ordered the beef stir fry and my husband ordered the vermicelli with pork and spring rolls. When we received our plates my husband s pork vermicelli only had 3 small pieces of pork. We have never had this little meat in our many times eating at Vietnamese restaurants in the past. The beef stir fry was very chewy, with tons of fatty pieces to the point that I got grossed out trying to eat it. The only thing that was great was the chicken fried rice that we got for our kids and I ended up eating some of it since my own food was horrible. I also got the Vietnamese coffee over ice and it tasted like the condensed milk had gone bad. Overall quite disappointed with our experience there even though we really wanted to like it!

Very cute place! We came in from out of town and went walking around for a place to eat. I have a 1 year old so I was surprised they had high chairs and a little play section for kids. It was really nice. Kid-friendliness: Theres a little area for kids to play! And childrens seats.

Tried this new place downtown. I am not disappointed. The May Deli, Vietnamese food and Sushi. I had the tempura shrimp dish (3) large tempura shrimp over avocado, cucumber, rice, shredded carrots, and a California crunch roll (5) large pieces. Price was really good. While waiting I was served a large mug of Vietnamese tea while I waited. Place was quiet, staff were very friendly and fast. Took the food home and was still delicious. People should come give this new place a try and give them a shout out.
