9779 Willow St, Chemainus, BC V0R 1K1, Canada
I have only ever had the pho and spring rolls and it is a very respectable bowl. One of the best broths in the area with a nice deep and rich flavour. Noodles are not overcooked (as some places do) and the rare beef is good quality and they give a lot of it. Service has always been very good. Nice location. This is my go-to pho spot in the Cowichan Valley,
Quite a surprise to see authentic pho in a small town. Pho soup was hot and tasty. A good quantity of sliced beef and brisket was in my soup. Price was also excellent.
We have Pho no 5, noddle soup and beef plus beef brisket . Very good. And deep fried wonton
Very good pho! It is operated by Vietnamese, I believe. The best pho I ever tried in Vancouver. If I live nearby, I will visit this restaurant every week. Hope that I will go to Vancouver island in near future. This restaurant is definitely the place I will re-visit.
Was passing through, and decided to try a drive through Chemainus! Because why not? I had the lunch special, and a salad roll. I struggle to give two stars to this place, all because of their crunchy rice. Rice shouldn't be crunchy. It just shouldn't. There's a difference between crisp. This was get crunchy and stuck in your teeth crunchy. The salad roll was tasty, but overly expensive for what it actually was. It's a pass from me dawg. Super friendly staff though.
Excellent and we'll balance Pho and appetizers with delicious dips. For the appetizers, I order the Spring Rolls and deep fried Wonton. The spring rolls were crunchy soft and delicious and the was simple and but complements the spring rolls. For the Fried Wonton, I used the spicy sauce for the Satay with I do recommend using it instead as a dip. I had the Pho Satay which had beef brisket and slices which melted in my mouth and was delicious all around. This is my second time coming to this place and it was still good the second time around.
I find it a little hard to try and rate this restaurant. Being from the lower mainland where we have very good, very authentic Vietnamese food, I find myself a little spoiled. This place was recommended by our tour bus driver, and it was pretty full 1/2 hour after they opened so I guess the locals must like it. It was good, but nothing like the ones in Vancouver or Richmond. Service was friendly, though a little slow. Being family run, it hard for 2 people to try to do everything when it was busy. My pork was over cooked making it very tough and the shrimp didn't taste fresh. If I'm ever up that way again, I'll probably give them another try, though I'll probably order something different next time
**update- we went back for the first time since 2020, when Covid hit. Food was still delicious...it's just sad that places are having such a hard time finding staff, because clearly they needed help. Keeping the 5 stars, because no fault of their own. And hey, they survived through the pandemic and probably appreciate all their loyal customers coming back. Check it out, you won't be disappointed. Hint: Very busy through dinner hour 5-6, so if you can eat a bit earlier or later, less of a wait time. They had lots of takeout orders at this time as well. Great food! Always fresh and delicious, never disappointed. I usually order the prawn bowl, which has 6 big prawns, spring roll, stir fried veggies on top of vermicelli noodles. Simply delicious! The server is polite and on the ball! My favorite place in Chemainus!
Classic Vietnamese restaurant.
They dont open till 11am and looks closed because its so dark. Good food and good pricing.
Had a Great meal before going to the theater. We will be back
Wonderful family restaurant. Our meals had lots of flavour and we enjoyed them heartily!
Amazing pho! Little gem in Chemainus
Tasty fresh dishes! Will be back again and post photos. The quality to price ratio is also a great bonus.
Great local restaurant. Food is fantastic and reasonably priced, family run business and they are always great!
Special 5, Fried Wonton, Pho#5 and the authentic Vietnamese Coffee are bomb Vegetarian options: Tons of vegetarian options Parking: Just across the restaurant Kid-friendliness: Saw lots of kids dining on their own and enjoying the food Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible and close to the parking
Once a year when I go to chemainus I eat here. Always the same staff and they have things done right. I really like this place. Parking: Park at waterwheel park a block north.
The food was amazing! The No 1 pho (as seen in the attached photo) is absolutely worth every cent! Food
This is easily the best pho on the island. Every single item I have ordered has blown my mind with quality. Outstanding family owned business. It s a must try!!!!
Flavourful meals.
Every is good here!
This restaurant was not open at 1140 when we arrived We had a party of 7. It is your loss that you cannot be open when you say you are supposed to be Food
Great Food. Always hot and fast. New menu
Tasty food. Would recommend. C3 in picture. Pork pattie, lemon grass chicken and spring rolls with steam rice. Food
Great family restaurant. Food was delicious and reasonably priced Vegetarian options: lots of vegetarian options Food : 5/5 |
Awesome food! Most authentic Vietnamese Ive found since moving to the island. Great portion sizes too
Nice Fresh Tasty Recommended dishes Beef Pho
Friendly people, excellent food. The veggie curry was really good and filling. Veggie rolls were excellent as well. Ill be back to try some different dishes, thank you :) Vegetarian options: Good options for veggies.
Pho broth was great. Satay Lemongrass soup was excellent. Ordered Jasmine tea and actually got real tea leaves, not a package tea. Would definitely recommend.
Really friendly and delicious pho!! Kid-friendliness: Very good.
Great food, great service.
So impressive. Full of customers from Vietnam so that lets you know its great. Best Canadian fries you ever had. Wonton and salad roll amazing. So lucky its close to home Update As i sit with my son here again and again I realize these are the best fries, best wonton, chicken strips or Hamburger. This place with the simple atmosphere, but so calming almost magical. Like a Korean soap opera on netflix where a simple cafe holds the secret portal between the gods and immortals. This is my secret place
A gem in Chemainus! Great pho, great bun. Lovely people. Highly recommend
This place was wonderful. Its a nice, clean little space with lots of seating. Tried it tonight with my boyfriend and was really content with our meal. I decided to write a review because I noticed something here that I dont always find in pho restaurants and I appreciate it, the food was very clean. The flavour is there, the notes are authentic, but its not heavy or greasy which is a nice contrast to some of the overly glutinous restuarants or overly sauced dishes. The prices set are incredibly reasonable for the style of food, your getting good, fresh, housemade food. I will definitely be going back for lunch or dinner to try some other dishes, and recommending it to friends and family. This isnt somewhere Id go for a fancy meal, but its somewhere Id love to be a regular diner at.
Good food, friendly people.
Ive been eating at Pho Triple 777 for six years now and they never disappoint. The folks are always friendly. The food is always delicious!
Very fresh vegetables and very tasty. Would go back for sure
Amazing food at an affordable price. Best vietnamese food on Vancouver Island. Highly recommend deep fried wantons, salad rolls, beef pho, and wanton soup.
Amazing veggie pho and curry.
We had dinner here after exploring the Kinsmen Beach Park and oldtown chermainus. Everything was Fresh and Delicious ! Kid-friendliness: Chicken Strips and Fries
I would sell my firstborn child for a bowl of their wonton soup. Eating here could be considered religious experience, eye opening. When I die I hope to be brought to a place where I can enjoy bowls apon bowls of the sweet necter of their wonton soup.
Quaint little restaurant with beyond excellent food that is made fresh and quickly. Try their salad rolls, combo c9 or the war wonton soup with noodles and youll be returning again and again. Absolutely the best Vietnamese food in the Cowichan Valley!
Delicious food! So fresh. Great service
I have tried Pho in many different places and this is absolutely the best. The broth and the meats are spot on and the generous portions of fresh vegetables make it the perfect noodle soup. The staff is also a delight. I could not be any happier with my experience here.
Had a small wonton soup which was amazing! And deep fried spring rolls that were also fantastic! Would definitely come back or recommend to any one coming to the island
Always the best Pho by far in the Cowichan/Chemainus area.
Stopped in for a meal at this location and the food was amazing. Very subtle flavors and perfectly prepared. Thank you for making our day
It was quite busy with dining in and takeout on a Wed evening (which is good to see). Service was very courteous and the food delicious.
This place is definitely a diner stop, and its price is very good I will return much more in the future.
Very friendly staff, delicious pho and won ton soup. This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend, and we in turn are recommending to others! The place is busy, but each dish is freshly prepared.
We tried this place because it was new for all of us. The service was great and the was made quickly and served hot. We asked for more water for our tea plus an additional pot of hot water so we could top it up ourselves and this was provided. No complaints!
The food was tasty, served hot and was priced accordingly, service was okay. The focus here certainly is on the food.
Very good pho, best vietnamese around here
Tasty lunch, good service, reasonably priced
Food was extremely delicious and the server was very kind.
Hands down one of the best Pho restaurants on the island! I eat there often.
Excellent food, every time!!
Great Vietnamese restaurant in small town Chemainus. Owners are very friendly and hard working. Food is consistently good. Often order the rice plates and pho. Always satisfied and come for dinner at least once per week.
Picked up my order. Beef stir fry and chicken stir fry. Was delicious. Nice and hot. Will be back for sure.
Havnt come here for awhile. Still great food as before.
Great food selections and tasty!
Great place to eat
Every time I eat there, I enjoy the amazing layers of taste
very good the server named dustin is very nice
Food was delicious simple decor was comfortable.
Ive been to a lot of pho restaurants and the quality of 777 is unmatched.
Excellent service, good food
Excellent food
Not many options for in restaurant dining so we were delighted to eat here. The food was absolutely delicious. I think it ll be our go to place when in Chemainus.
Great food and great service. Very reasonable prices too.
Excellent salad rolls and hot sour sup as well. Attentive service and a clean and comfortable restaurant. Both the lemongrass pork and chicken Bun were delicious. Highly recommend. Chemainus may be small but it has great local restaurants.
Food is amazing all of it thank-you
Awesome. Worth the drive.
Really good pho! And amazing prices as well as lovely staff.
Nice people, great service. Recommend if in Chemainus. Broth was flavourful, just not a fan of fatty cuts of meat. Otherwise great. Edit: I bought the brisket. So my bad. Prefer rare beef with meatballs.
The best beef pho I ever had, and I had many!
Super good pho and vietnamese coffee! Yum!
Amazing food.... definitely will order again.
Delish my first visit Ill be back whenever Im in town!
All ways great service and great food. Its a nice mom and pop shop which Im proud to support. Very clean and sanitary too thanks for all your hard work
Great food I will come back.
Local redysirsnt, able to sit inside. Great pho
I drove here from Yellow point craving pho... I got no pho even tho you sa-phosed to be open. I second guessed myself. I called and you did not answer. I heard yo pho ringing... I left with no pho but a pic! The pic made me more sad but still I only just started liking pho. Ill make my own - campsite pho - pho-nis
Food was good and reseaonably priced. My beef vermicelli was delicious, but had green pepper and celery in it, which I have not had in previous vermicelli dishes. My wife had the chicken Pho, and she loved it. It reminded her of the Pho she ate in Vietnam while traveling there.
Good Pho Great service. Love to come here when we are in the area.
Excellent as always, variety of choices and tasty food
Had a lovely meal tonight. Food was fantastic as was the Vietnamese hot coffee. Waitress was very friendly & knowledgeable. When anyone entered the restaurant they were very quick to check vaccine records on phone as well as IDs. Would highly reccomend. Will definitely visit again.
Had a nice lunch here - well priced, decent portions. The restaurant seems very popular for take-out, as many people were picking up orders during the lunch hour.
Some of the best pho on the island. The broth is particularly good.
We just checked the open the restaurant. But when we went there its closed
True, authentic Vietnamese food. Very good. Decent prices. Nice decor. Cute little town. Great service. Great experience.
We enjoyed the Vermicelli bowl and the Curry Chicken, very tasty.
Delicious and affordable restaurant hidden in the middle of downtown Chemainus. We love getting the pho here on cold, west coast days. There are plenty of options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians.
Great food,
Best pho Ive had! Kind service and very reasonable prices:)
Good people good food
The food here is very fresh and really delicious. Clean clear broth with high quality ingredients. My favourite is the chicken pho with extra vegetables. Good service and prices in a little hole in the wall in Chemainus!
Always eat here when in Chemainus. #1 or #5 pho. Consistent taste and quality.
We had takeout for the first time and it wouldn t be the last time next time we try to eat in most excellent
amazing pho
Good hot & sour soup.
Delicious and delicious
Absolutely delicious and authentic Vietnamese food in Duncan! The pho broth is delicious
Amazingly Authentic
Food was hot and fresh, staff was so friendly and service was quick and efficient. Definitely will be back!
Some of the best Vietnamese cuisine in BC, not just the island. I have tried 90% of metro Vancouvers pho and can vouch that there is about 1% out there that can get their broth to taste beefy. Once youve tried a pho that has the taste of beef and not just aromatic water, your life will have changed. Come to Pho Triple 7 for a cheap trip to the stalls of Saigon without a plane ticket! Also must mention that the COVID-19 protocols are excellent and reassuring that my family and I are safe while dining there.
Convenient location just a short drive from my moms house and have long been meaning to go here for lunch. Three dishes all well prepared and presented. Tasty, fresh, and perfect for a cool fall day. Pleasant service and bright room with big windows added to the overall great experience. This place deserves attention. Will be happy to go again.
Love the noodle bowls with spring roll and lemongrass pork. Always tasty and the service is friendly.
Delicious, broth is good, service is impeccable. I would go there daily.
Popular place in Chemainus
Really delicious curry with yummy taro root in it...nice fresh garden wraps, good pricing too.
Been there 3 times and food has been consistently good. Nice pho, generous portions and very reasonably priced.
Excellent food! Excellent prices!
Very good food and service. Fresh ingredients.
Probably the best Pho joint on the island. Most people dont know exists. Another family run business in the heart of chemainus. I always order the pho satay with extra tripe. Haha Delicious!!
I visit this place very often and the pho and wor wonton is awesome..was there today nice atmosphere relaxed and good service...prices are very respectable...
Great food. Service was very nice. And quick. Very good wonton soup. And the spring rolls are excellent.
Last time here they have wraps and tasted awfully delicious! It is going to be my must order item. Also they have this special phô with peanut butter. Taste terribly tasty! Ooh it makes my mouth watering while I am writing this
Great pho
There are 5 Pho places in Nanaimo. This one is better. So much meat. So much Pho. I couldnt eat it all. Me. They put the cilantro on the side as an add in, like bean sprouts. Its much appreciated by people, like me, it tasts like soap. $10.50 for regular. $13.50 for a large.
Nice! Good service with quite place.
My wife and I eat here a lot Great service and Always amazing food!
So good!!!!!!
We ordered beef noodles in soup. Good taste.
The only Vietnamese beef pho in the area is not delicious, but it is the only choice!
Beef rice noodles super delicious
I live in chemainus and have eaten here several times. I just dropped in today at 12:30 for lunch. There were as many tables full as empty. When I sat down at a table the waitress said No room today. Obviously hoping to fill the tables with tourists. I was a year around customer. I will never eat there again. Bonnie Martin has better WonTon too.
Good value for money
Came by here for lunch and it was pretty busy. Nice to find a Pho restaurant while on vacation and the food was good.
Good pho #8 (beef balls and brisket) as well as salad rolls. A good choice for Vietnamese food if youre in downtown Chemainus.
Nice food and nice price
I went to eat here on saturaday, the food was delicous and the waiters were really friendly. I will come back again soon! Thank you to the photriple7 staff, the food was very comparable to my expierience eating in Vietnam!
Excellent food! Fast and Fabulous!
Best ph in town !! We always have to stop by to get a bowl of pho whenever we come over Vancouver Island !! Their spring rolls are amazing too !!
The food is authentic and very good.
Great beef noodle soup and sour and spicy soup! I had C10 on the menu. It was really good!! Beef was easy to chew and the taste was just right!
Very good food and fast service. Menu is quite extensive so there is something for everyone. Even Canadian (American) food for the unadventures
Fast and well priced. I think probably authentic but Ive never been to Vietnam to compare. ;)
Excellent food and excellent service. Great place.
This tastes like a typical Vietnamese place. There was a lot of vegetables so that is always a plus. It took us maybe 40 minutes to receive our food though because we came here via a tour bus so they had a bunch of people to serve and only two workers. Otherwise the restaurant seems to be quite empty most of the time as this is located in a small town. Their salad roll dipping sauce wasnt very good but the roll itself was well made. If youre stopping by this town Id recommend checking this place out if youre hungry for some Vietnamese food!
The food is fantastic. The owners are warm and welcoming... And the food. Fantastic. Its not run of the mill pho that is just blasts your mouth with salt. Its subtly seasoned, the beef is tender and perfectly rare and delicious. Cant say enough good things about this place. Definitely one of the hidden jems of the Cowichan area. And its insanely cheap. Tip generously. They deserve it.
Excellent food
My wife and I had a nice lunch here. Bathrooms are down the hall, shared with other businesses, but theres a key you can ask for. Tidy premesis.
Best pho in Chemainus!
I like the beef pho from here (this is only item I have had from here but will try other items on the menu soon) and the service was top notch.
Pho is everywhere! This pho is a little bit bland
Good authentic Vietnamese food.
A M A Z I N G Pho! Highly recommended. Great Vietnamese Coffee as well.
Been here 3 times this month. Food always amazing and we have been to south east asia. Very authentic
Spending money here has the quiet and warm feeling of a small town.
Lemongrass chicken is tasty and the service is good.Overall, its beyond our expectation.
I really like the food at this restaurant.
100% recommend if you are looking for authentic pho. This is probably the best pho restaurant I have been to.
Good portions, good flavor
Had lemon chicken bowl with vietnamese ice coffee. Sooo good and local
Love this food.cant get enough
Great Pho
Such freshness, and lovely presentation...should have shared!
The owner is a Vietnamese immigrant, and his taste is oriental. It should be quite popular here, and the price is pretty good.
Great soup and friendly
Good food, okay service.
Great wonton soup. Good service and atmosphere.
Excellent family business that offers extremely tasty food at reasonable prices and always service with a smile.
great Wor Wonton
Good for fryed rices
Very nice. Excellent Pho.
Good varity
Great food. Consistent and very flavorful
Dont go at rush hour while there are bunch of Chinese tourists, try very hard to drag server attention, and take a while till food arrive.
Good food
Delicious, hospitable, good value.
My favorite restaurant in Chemainus, BC. The food is always hot/fresh and tasty with very decent prices. I wish they were open everyday, I would be there more often (Sunday and Monday) for dinner. I would recommend.
Didnt even eat there, walked through door 5 tables a mess, 2 people in there and stunk something aweful. They had a kid all of 10 running the front. Not impressed considering we love Pho. We will go the extra distance to go to Pho Boi in Nanaimo Hated it. Shouldnt get one star but had to to get access. I hope health board goes in.
I had dinner with some friends, including one who lives in Vietnam. The Vietnamese coffee is absolutely amazing. Appetizers included tofu with very authentic peanut sauce, spring rolls, and deep fried wontons. appetizers were fresh and tasty, as was our dinner. The Pho was served hot and flavorful, and while food took a while, there were 10 of us and we were in absolutely no rush. Authentic Vietnamese food, the service was friendly and attentive, and the decor is a little lacking, but it is Chemainus after all.
