Pho
I love Pho54! Great soup, chicken wings, the Vietnamese coffee is a special treat. Haven't found a menu item I didn't like.
Very good service and on a cold day, pho hits the spot! Like the fact they have 2 bathrooms! Not a big place and there seems to be a lot of takeout.
The food is not nearly as good as it used to be when they first opened. The portions are smaller and it's not seasoned very well. Spring rolls are chewy instead of crispy. Sucks because they used to be the only good vietnamese place in town and now we don't have any good vietnamese places here
EDIT: went again for early dinner a week or so later & it was excellent ~ different dishes so good! Definitely recommend 😊 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We had a lovely lunch, excellent service & food ~ we had lemongrass chicken with veggies & vermicelli+ beef vermicelli with spring rolls & veggie ~ delish! Looking FWD to trying the Pho in the cooler weather too.
Servers are nice. Portion/price is good. Broth is really awesome, they slack on the herbs and green onions so I have to ask for extra. The bahn mi's are not the best I was a little let down but the soup is awesome and that's what you should be there for anyway.
First time here. Didn't know about this place til today. Soup was good, buns were good too. Will go back to try the other dishes first before deciding to add the last star.
The vermicelli bowl was good. Amazing peanut sauce for the salad rolls. Server was friendly and welcoming but could improve on Covid procedures (masks, distance).
Stopped by for a quick lunch on our way home to Nanaimo from the ferry. We ordered Beef Pho regular size, Beef Pho without noodles and more veggies and one order of prawn salad rolls. Yummy! We are sure glad we stopped and will definitely be back.
Vegetarian options: Veggie pho with tofu Parking: Free side parking Food : 3/5 |
Accommodating of special requests and food is always consistent standard of quality (excellent) and fresh.
Very good Pho great customer service and enjoy the place. Very welcoming
great did, very timely and great service!
First time in. Didnt know what to expect but was pleasently surprised. Definitely going back...maybe tonight.
This family run restaurant has great Vietnamese food at reasonable prices.
Great flavorful broth , my only complaint is no Thai Basil .
Amazing food They have tables, but it is more of a take out place. Food
Good but expensive
Great food! Casual atmosphere.
Excellent food. Great service.
Our favorite spot for pho! 10/10
I breathe their taro bubble tea
It was nice to have Vietnamese food here on the north island. Food was good and the service was friendly.
Pho broth lacked flavor and too much salt. My companions Lemon chicken was cold. There are better places for Pho in the Comox Valley.
Excellent food, fair portions at a great price!!!
Tasty Pho. Good service. We recommend.
Nice place for family supper!
Best Pho place Ive found since leaving Vancouver 6.5 years ago.
First time eating here for lunch and was delicious, ordered the P1 with extra meatballs, got what I paid for, Chili oil was on the table along with siracha and hoisin sauce Pho came quick with a side of sprouts and cilantro, The lady at the front was very friendly and happy to answer my questions, Im sad they dont have tripe or tendon but I understand not a lot of people ask for it so not a big deal to me, I will definitely be back to try more items on the menu!
Delicious Pho. Nice people. Decent price.
Family run, friendly, and the best pho on the island.
best pho in the world best boba shakes in the world best peanut sauce in the world I <3 Pho 54 Recommended dishes Shrimp Rice Salad Rolls, Beef Pho
Delicious and reasonably priced!
Soul-healing pho and the best banh mi in the business. Friendly staff and fast service.
Great pho and spring rolls.
Gluten free options! :D Dietary restrictions: A few things are gluten free Food : 5/5 |
Great value for the Pork Banh mi. Lots of everything and a fresh roll, quite filling and would love to come back and try some other menu items. Fast service and friendly staff.
Best pho in the valley
It was amazing. Tasty and good size portions. Will definitely make it a monthly dining experience..
Had Pho with family. Atmosphere was great, food was wonderful. Id recommend for fans of Pho
My favorite place. Price is GREAT, food is delicious, and theres always a steady turnaround no matter what time you go
One star for not taking the effort to let customers know on google (3 minutes work) they are closed for more then a month. July 10th till August 13th 2023.
By far the best Vietnamese restaurant ever I would recommend to anyone and everyone the food is absolutely stunning and very affordable as well 10 out of 10 Great Place to eat at Vegetarian options: Tofu is amazing
One of my go to restaurants
Really wanted to go but their closed. I would suggest they update there voice mail to say there closed from July 10th-Aug13th. Rather then open from Mon-Saturday 11am-7pm. Would have saved myself and 4 other customers from trying to plan a lunch at there restaurant.
Awesome place! People complaining because they took a holiday is absurdity! This is one of the best restaurants in town
Only tried the pho but it was so good! Even the veggie version was super flavourful, no bland broth!!!!
Come in. Grab a bite. Its quick, food is amazing, family run, and its exactly what you need. Lots of classics and affordable dishes unlike most places these days
Great pho! Ill be coming back!!
The food came quickly, but it was okay at best. The salad rolls were mostly tasteless, aside from the bitter lettuce. The pho had decent broth, but didnt have much meat. The rare steak in the pho was overcooked. The staff were polite and friendly though.
The food here is great, and I loved it! Keep up with the quality of the food you have!
Great pho shop, best pho in campbell river for sure and scratches the itch. The veggie pho is good but isnt made with the traditional star anise. The beef pho is very good, Id recommend you start with rare beef slices in beef broth as its a decent example. I moved from Toronto and have been struggling to find somewhere with a serviceable pho in a giant bowl with a stellar broth. Well be coming here often through the winter. Vegetarian options: Veggie option lacks the anisette flavour. Get the beef broth with tofu if you can bend your rules a bit
Great customer service!
Probably one of my favourite restaurants here in the valley. The food is absolutely incredible and well worth the price. Highly reccomend.
Best pho in the valley, I come here regularly
Delicious vermicelli bowl!!! Will definitely be back. Loved it.
Best place to get pho in Courtenay. Love this little space
Best in town!
Great food and service. What more do you want?
We are here on vacation and discovered this little gem! We have gotten take out twice. It is some of the BEST we have EVER had. We ordered A2, BBH and BN1.
Excellent local Vietnamese cuisine. Sandwiches are very delicious.
Great soup!!
The salad rolls are bland and extremely small. They contain vermicelli and three small shrimp - thats it. Owner says website is not hers so dont count on the descriptions of the food or the costs. Wont be back.
We liked it, but I dont have alot of experience with Vietnamese food.
Excellent Pho! Would recommend!
Fresh and comfortable vietnamese food. Freindly staff and affordable prices. Parking: Street parking across. Up to two hours free.
Excellent food, great prices, definitely will be returning.
The food is great here! We will definitely be going back!
Great delicious pho!
I always have great food here. And when I order delivery through skip, its always really fast!
Located at the top end of downtown on a side street its easy to walk past unnoticed, but make SURE you go in. The food is terrific and the portions are huge, all for a very reasonable price. Lots of menu options; we have yet to find something we didnt like.
BHH was pretty weak.
Quick and easy. Its pretty inexpensive. The menu is simple (which I really love actually). I go often. (I never give 5 star reviews. No where is perfect but consider my stars at 4.5).
My boss takes me here to eat sometimes and few dishes I had were awesome
Food is fresh and excellent, sauces are on point, I completely enjoyed my meal.
Great food!
Amazing food and service
Excellent food, the banh mi was almost perfect, just wish it had a bit more sauce it was a bit dry in the middle. Highly recommend this place!
Best Pho shop! Good are always fresh and tasty. Five star!
Great meal and pretty quick service
The vermicelli bowls are desperate for more fish sauce. The portion sizes are great, except there isnt nearly enough sauce provided with a takeout order. Ends up being delicious meat on a giant bed of tasteless vermicelli. PLEASE PROVIDE AMPLE FISH SAUCE. I BEG U.
Best pho place in Comox Valley!!!!
Great experience with food and service
Tasty and super fast service. May fill up. They only have 4 tables for covid.
Good rolls + PHO
Really delicious food. I had veggie tofu Pho, my sister had rice noodle bowl with pork, and we shared spring rolls and salad rolls. All was great, but the salad rolls and peanut sauce were amazing.
Best won ton soup I ve ever had!!! Salad rolls too! Good service. Clean Love this place!!
We eat here regularly; we ve tried several dishes, it s always delicious and customer service is excellent! An absolute favourite in the valley.
I always feel satisfied when I eat there
The food and service was fast good and friendly however the inside and outdoor seating were definitely in need of some serious cleaning . It seemed like the inside was dark and dingy and the outside was dusty and dirty as well
Service is fast. Food is always excellent
Fresh and delicious!! No need to say more.
Always enjoyable!
The food is delicious and theres alot of it, and the service is so fast! I highly recommend this place. Best Vietnamese food in town for sure, and one of my favorite restaurants in Courtenay.
Wow how does this place have 4.4 ratings? The food was so gross! The service was cold and all and all expensive for such low quality food. Never coming here again.
Quick and delicious!! These guys have authentic food and great staff.
Super delicious pho, both chicken and beef! And the Bahn Mi is wonderful too. Highly recommended.
Had a really excellent pho as well as deep fried wonton and wings during our visit. Really good service and everything was amazing.
The taste I have been looking for!
Great pho with delicious broth and great service.
Great place, wonderful staff awesome Pho!
Fresh, tasty Vietnamese food. One of my favourite places to eat in Courtenay.
Best Pho in the valley. Big bowl. Try the bun bo hue if you like spicy
Great service and excellent food.
Its was ok. They only accept cash
Amazing food! This little cozy spot may not be the easiest to find parking for, but the food more than makes up for it. If the space is too cramped for your tastes, they do offer takeout!
Great food....great staff....great prices. My favorite Vietnamese restaurant on the Island.
Stopped by for lunch. Good lunch menu with wide variety and reasonable prices with a range to suit all looking for Vietnamese food lunch. Food is tasty and spiced reasonable for North American pallets. Tables are too close together.
Very good Pho ..tables spaced and we felt very safe
Delicious quick service and the best chili oil
Great service and food!
Pho is good
Max approval.
Would be noce if they had high chairs for babys :-( sucks because I liked there food
Great food, wholesome staff. Love it.
Flavor was great and the amount of food was nice. Loved that they had a vegetarian option.
Very nice staff. Low frills decor but grade A grub! I especially love the shrimp salad rolls!!
Pho broth was great, toppings were subpar. Bahn mi was good, but I did not receive the one I ordered and was in too much of a rush to wait for a replacement. Service was not great.
Been a here for a couple of years now and tried every Pho place around. Pretty consistent. Hands down, best on the island! Price is fair.
Excellent and sooooo good for my first time have pho.
Fast friendly service. Quality was consistent
Best Pho I have had. My favorite place to visit when in the area
Recently ordered, and so glad we did. So fresh and clean tasting. We are definitely ordering from here again. Thankyou Pho 54.
Very good food, solid salad rolls, and delicious Pho
Great service, great food, great atmosphere
Small space, good prices, small menu! Pho is great as are the subs.
By far is the best pho place in town. I tried all 3 places here in town and I like this place the best. Service is always great, food always arrives in reasonably quick. Portions is great, great price and great quality.
Delicious ! Good service !
Great food
Good.
Good Pho.
Nice food but the premises was cold, we sat with our jackets on to eat. Menu is small but original and authentic.
great pho!
Solid. Consistently satisfying food and service.
Great foods and very lovely staff.
Love your food and friendly service. Keep up the great work.
Fast service good food
Amazing food and service! I have tried 5 items on the menu and all have been delicious!
Tasty, satisfying meals every time.
I just had a refreshing experience at Pho 54 in Courtenay BC. I was having a senior blur vision day and tried to pay with the credit card machine. I typed in the wrong amount and ended up giving a very large tip. I would not have noticed it and left. They lovely young lady asked if I was sure if I wanted to leave such a tip? We sorted it all out and I told her I was proud of her honesty. So nice to see good honest people in this day. I will go there again next time I am visiting.
Fast service and great food!
Very good soup and appys
super delicious and affordable pho. my boyfriend got the vietnamese sub and his was amazing as well. the service was great, our waitress (i believe her name was cindy) was really kind and helpful. well definitely come back again and again
Authentic Pho place
So delicious! I had the wonton soup and it was incredible. Highly recommended. Plus, it was calm and quiet, which I liked. Service was good.
Delicious, fresh, great service and prices!!
The spicy pho is amazing and the portion is large :)
They made us tofu rolls!..Soup broth warms the tummy and soul and the charming welcome atmosphere will keep you coming back.
Great food, great tasting fish sauce.
Food is really bad...for cheaper you get what better else where...
Great food
Nice bowl of pho. Appetizers were good too.
Great food for a fair price, and very friendly staff. My new favorite place!!
Hands down - best pho in Courtenay. Quick, friendly, and efficient service. Tea was refilled without asking. Huge bowl of Pho for $12. Great selection of condiments on the table including delicious spicy chili paste, fish sauce, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce. Rivaled some of the pho I had in Vietnam. 15% off special on right now for their opening.
Great service and good pho.
Simone is awesome
Best pho - coming from a vietnamese
Really great service!! Nothing but rave.
Fantastic meal, salad rolls were delicious and the noodles were perfect. Great value for the price too, definitely worth checking out.
Not good at all. Meat looked and tasted like a cut up McDonalds patty, noodles were served plain, spring rolls tasted like frozen vegetables and the Iced coffee had grounds mixed in. Made us pay full price even though we sent it back. Absolutely awful and would not recommend to anyone. The ramen store down the street on 5th is 5 stars though :)
Great food! Ive been to Vietnam and been to many Vietnamese restaurants on the island, this one is definitely worth visiting!
Never dissapointed! Good service and food! Better than Saigon!
We were so impressed with our meal (Bn1), the spring rolls were delicious as well! It was pretty spicy, so I would suggest tasting it before adding chili paste (learn from my mistake) Will definitely eat there again!
Love the soups and food here !! My friends and I come here once a week and have the soup!
Loved it. Service was amazing. Food was amazing. Value was amazing. Portion size was ample.
They have vegan broth! It s not on the menu but ask for the P5. Delicious!
Fast, cheap, and great food. I recommend the sub
Good food, good staff
Amazing Pho and great service!
A great place for casual eats. Pho is nice.
