Pho Soc Trang Vietnamese Cuisine is a small casual dining restaurant. If you're a Vietnamese cuisine lover, come here. We serve delicious Vietnamese dishes such as Pho noodle soup, vermicelli bowl or rice with Grilled skewer, stir-fried noodles. Spring rolls, spicy chicken and lemongrass broth is the feature of Pho Soc Trang. Most guests recommend trying tasty Deep Fried Banana and Ice cream. Authentic Vietnamese coffee is also the best drink to order. Pho Soc Trang is well known for our great service and friendly staff, that is always ready to help you.
We had a delightful time getting Pho here. It was perfect on a rainy day in Kelowna. We got the bowl of vermicelli and grilled meats and spring roll and the rare beef pho. Everything tasted comforting and fresh. The staff were attentive and quick to help us with anything we needed. We’ll definitely be back soon as the weather cools down for another bowl of pho!
wonderful service, the atmosphere was very nice and the food was excellent! the pho broth was warm flavorful and inviting. and a crunchy delicious spring roll to start. I would definitely recommend trying this restaurant. 😊
We had a great dining experience with family at Pho Soc Trang. I love their Hue Spicy Soup. I highly recommend this restaurant for those who want to try Vietnamese food in downtown Kelowna.
Worst experience in 8 years! Took awhile and needed to get their attention so we could order(they have 2 tables with customers that time and already eating). Two male waiters busy chatting at the bar. We ordered soup on a cold weather today and requested in a really nice manner(as always) if we could have it boiling hot(extra hot) with please and thank you. Served cold. Request them if they could heat it up for us more and we’re okay even in the microwave and doesn’t need to replace it. Two male waiters seemed annoyed and told us that was already boiling hot and they can’t boil it more, other one told us that is was still smoking when he served it. We tried to understand them because we’ve been in the same workfield before. Came back less than a minute or two with the same outcome. We don’t know if he really warm it up. We just ended up taking it out and pay for it. We decided to just warm it up ourselves at home in the microwave.
I ordered a large rare beef pho. I have ordered here before and never had a problem, when I got my order home after paying $21 plus tip, I was given 9 little pieces of veg and 4 pieces of beef that are quite small. When I called, the guy told me that is the right portion for my soup. I will never be ordering from here again.
I tried the grilled beef on rice with spring rolls - number 81 and my friend ordered Bun Bo Hue. The food was delicious, especially the grilled beef skewers, the staff and atmosphere were great too. But if you eat more than average, their portions are a bit small for the price. But still delicious and definitely worth a try.
I ordered the most epic pork chop I’ve ever had! #87 Pork chop, shrimp and egg on rice It was very tasty and filling with an accompanying sauce that brings out the flavor of the dish. The freshness of the salad cuts through the savory notes, making me want to keep on eating. I also want to give credit to the amazing servers who made the entire experience memorable! 100% the best Vietnamese restaurant in Kelowna
We really enjoyed our meal here. The food was outstanding and very reasonably priced and the service was excellent. It felt very authentic as well.
Seriously one of the weakest flavour of Pho I got.
Amazing pho! Great staff. Always very consistent. The 36 is the best flavour of soup I ve ever had.
I just ordered the rare beef and brisket, add tofu, add dumplings. I called after to let them know how good it was. I havent had delivery this good in so long Im so happy. The best.
Cold day so stopped in for a bowl of beef Phó. It was excellent as well as the service. Definitely coming back to try the other menu options.
Me and my friends consistently go to this restaurant it is our favorite in Kelowna. The staff is always super friendly and the food (especially the house pho) is amazing. Worth the trip.
This is a fantastic spot for authentic and flavorful Vietnamese food. The pho is a standout, with a rich and perfectly balanced broth that pairs wonderfully with tender meats and fresh herbs. Their spring rolls are amazing. The service is warm and friendly, and the staff are always happy to provide recommendations or accommodate special requests. The dining area is clean and cozy, creating a relaxed atmosphere that s perfect for a casual meal. Whether you re a longtime fan of Vietnamese cuisine or trying it for the first time, Pho Soc Trang delivers an excellent dining experience at a reasonable price. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Vietnamese flavors!
Go here all the time for Pho. Really good food and good service and prices
Delicious pho, no matter how you pronounce it, and a relaxing, clean environment with big booths for groups. Usually not busy.
Pho is delicious, spring rolls are tasty, I ve been back a few times and is a good bowl of soup. Portions are good size, I have never left hungry after a bowl from this place. I like the Won Ton and it comes with a good portion of vegetables which I like. The atmosphere could use a refresh but in the end, who cares, I m there for the soup. Vegetarian options: Tofu and other Veggie options Parking: I have been here a few times and never had to circle to find parking close by Wheelchair accessibility: It is upstairs and did not notice any access for wheelchairs or people with mobility issues. Please call ahead to ask if there is an elevator somewhere.
Food is great
Love the soup here!
Delicious!!!
Avg pho, not cheap but a no brainer go to place.
Great food. This is the best place to go for Pho in town. Dietary restrictions: Great options for gluten free diets Food : 5/5 |
Very slow service, they need more people. Anyways, the food was ok. I d order a large special pho and the Vietnamese coffee. The soup base was actually pretty decent, I just felt it was on the salty side. However, the rice noodles were incredibly disappointing. It was clearly overcooked, very mushy, and not bouncy at all. There was an ok amount of other toppings and meats, and the portion felt slightly smaller, relative to other pho places I ve been to. Their Vietnamese coffees were ok.
Came here on a Friday night and it wasn t busy. Service was quick food was good. The bun bo bue was more sweet than spicy but I think this may be because they re catering the food to the kelowna palate. Would come here again
Good Pho, all you need to know.
Best Pho In Kelowna, great staff and reasonable prices
It is a pleasant restaurant, a large and family oriented place. The food is ok, but unfortunately, there was a very minimal amount of food portions and especially near to no beef or chicken.parking, which is very difficult to find around the street.
Eat here. Do it now. Good. Beyond good. All the good. Wow. Yum. Yum. Yum. Big as well.
As a pho connoisseur, i can attest that the pho is quite good. Would return for another bowl.
Decided to try Pho Soc Trang for dinner. Pho in the $13.95 to $17.95 price range. - Herbs - never seen cilantro given before. - Bun bo hue ($17.95) - didn t detect any lemongrass. Lacked depth and complexity. BBH had no pork hock or pork blood. - Pho sa te ($15.95 small) - disappointing. Not a legit sate. Broth was weak, rare beef overcooked and noodles clumped. Generic, run of the mill Viet food. 2.5 stars.
I love this place, I come here every visit to Kelowna. They use purple cabbage instead of bean sprouts which is a delicious alternative. Once I was sitting next to a table who had never had pho before and the server was so patient explaining everything to them. Highly recommend.
Very good. Definitely one of the better Vietnamese places I have been to. Vermicelli was excellent. Grilled pork was particularly delicious. Friendly staff. The space is a bit dated but perfectly fine. I will be back.
Food is on the below average side. Service was friendly.
HANDS DOWN THE BEST PHO IN KELOWNA! Pho has super tasty broth and good portions of food. Definitely recommend this place to everyone.
Food is really good here. Always super satisfied getting take out! The vermicelli full colour bowl is my favourite dish. Big portion, lots of flavour and always fresh upon pick up.
good restaurant. I had the curry chicken, it was delicious.
Huge portions, it filled up my little boy belly. Ill be back!
We did take out, so rating only the food. The food was fresh and well done overall, but very skimpy on the vegetables (in a vegetable dish) and limited meat in the meat dishes; also seemed to be an overabundance of vermicelli noodles in both dishes
Very good!!
Delicious restaurant, nice atmosphere
Good pho in kelowna
Hidden gem of downtown Kelowna. Nice selection of ethnic dishes and fresh ingredients.
The best! We moved and missed our old place, but were so relieved to find this amazing gem! The portions are so generous, the broth delicious, and the service is amazing. They are so friendly!
The best!! We are regulars here and would recommend it to anyone, highly recommend #61!!!
Service was great,food was about 7 out of 10. Pho and spring rolls were good not great...broth lacked flavor and the vermicelli bowl was average.
You cant get better Pho anywhere else!!
We really enjoyed our meal at Pho Soc. The spring rolls were excellent. I am a big Pho fan and was not disappointed. My Pho had lots of meat and noodles, the broth was very good. The stir fry and vermicelli bowl my fellow diners ordered were also excellent. Service was quick and efficient. I highly recommend Pho Sco Trang for Vietnamese cuisine.
Their food was so good! Plus great service!
My kids favorite pho!
Best pho king food in Kelowna! Recommend bun bo hue and their services are excellent. My go to restaurant fo sho!
Authentic, delicious, friendly staff. I make the extra effort to come in from the suburbs for a meal here.
This place is a hidden gem! Great food, fresh and affordable!! The service is also top notch! It s not a fancy place and could use an upgrade but with the cost of eating out going sky high I would choose this diamond in the rough over the more trendy places any time! We had Pho and some other appies! Yummy!
Food was yummy and filling.
Great noodles, great broth right down town!
The portions were filling for the price and the customer service was great. The meat skewers also had great flavour along with the ph .
Compared to other Vietnamese restaurants in Kelowna, this would be the best i have tried.
Food was good but compared to the Vietnamese foods I tried I was less impressed here!
The only thing I would complain about was that they put my rare beef in my soup. This is something that the customer should add later, as it should be rare and it was tough by the time I ate it. Broth was great and beef balls were good!
Delicious, flavorsome pho! Ordered the beef and the chicken. The large size is pretty big - I ordered the small and it was more than enough for me - couldnt finish it. I didnt need to add any seasoning to mine the broth was delicious as is. Rice paper rolls were super fresh. Would definitely come back.
Favorite pho in Kelowna! Didnt even put any other flavors in the dish, broth was amazing on its own.
Great pho and great service
Foods are delicious but can be a little bit more of meat. Chilli dip fried tofu is delicious.
Yummy!!
Love their selection of food! Service is fast and the servers are polite and friendly. Food tastes excellent! Highly recommend getting the Vietnamese Coffee (comes both as hot and iced).
Food is alright but pricy. For the price, I wish there are more meat. Theres barely any in the soup for a Large bowl of Pho.
I had the worst experience ever. Im a vegetarian by religion and apparently they still use meat products in their vegetarian option menu. I asked for noodles with veggie and tofu. They said we use meat powder and sauce to cook to tofu and I politely asked to cook my tofu without it. The server shows up with a plate of noodles and veggies and no tofu at all. What Im trying to say here is that if you have a special page in your menu indicating vegetarian healthy options and you use meat products in it , why to care to even put that vegetarian option page there. Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options are just for the sake of name and they aint vegetarian.
The meal was well made and absolutely delicious and flavourful. 100% reccomend! lovely waiters and service too
My go to pho in the Okanagan!
Best Vietnamese food in Kelowna hands down. The pho and vermicelli are to die for. Very friendly service and just YUM! Go to spot for authentic Vietnamese food. Go once and youll be hooked
Love the booths and the soups
A hidden gem! This place is so cozy and decorative. And the portions are generous! A must-try for anyone looking for some good Vietnamese food
Deep fried banana ice cream keeps bringing me back here
If you havent tried Pho before, dont. Tasted like old sock water. Seafood stir fry had literally one scallop in it and only 4 shrimp, basically no toppings at all.
Well deserved choice for what I wanted PHO of course! I enjoyed the broth immensely, it was rich and tasty and the price points were reasonable.however, I was served cilantro instead of basil, lemon not lime, and we had to share bean sprouts for 2 people. I paid for extra veggies and got 3 peas and 2 broccoli so that was a let down. I would be happier to pay a higher extra charge like 5$ for at least a cup of extra veggies instead of the 3$ sprinkle. I know my high standards are because Ive been spoiled by east coast Vietnamese food so I am comparing my overall to over a dozen different places Ive eaten and this one is good enough to return for the price, the overall quality of the dishs and the perfect service. In total 4 stars for the service was perfect, its cozy and I enjoyed my soup. Vegetarian options: They offer vegetarian soup
I ordered the PHO House special noodles. Fresh bean sprouts, cilantro, pepper, lemon... The taste of the soup was truly authentic. There was no smell and I was able to taste the true value of Vietnamese noodles... Highly recommended. The staff are friendly...the bathrooms are clean too.
Best Pho in town! Zero competition! Fast, affordable, and delicious. Special thanks to Penny, you make is feel more than welcome!
Very good..
Great food! Amazing staff and would definitely recommend. Price quality is extremely good!!
The server was friendly and happy, knowledgeable about the food and Vietnamese coffee explaining to us what it was like from his country Vietnam. Great tasting pho and vermicelli noodle bowl
Vegetarian/vegan menu at the back and it s really good! Not their focus for sure (my partner got the house special pho, and loved it) but highly recommended vegetarian Vietnamese!
Super friendly, polite, and kind people here. The atmosphere was great, and the pho was amazing. Not to forget the really fast service as well. Will def go back the next time Im in town.
Pho was better than I expected. Hits the spot as a Vancouverite . Inside is clean, service is prompt, bun bo hue yummy. The hot sauce provided is not sriracha and the noodle used isn t exact but that s alright, maybe hard to source in Kelowna or a demographic preference. Spring rolls were good as well. Avocado smoothie was a bit meh not thick enough or enough avocado in my opinion which made it a bit gooey . Would definitely come again if I m in the city and have a pho craving!
Amazing pho. You can tell the broth is done right, boiled for 24 hours.
The pho was a bit disappointing. The broth was a bit salty but it was able to blend it out with hot water. But the noodle was too mushy. But other plates were great. Thank you! Food
So far, the best dumpling soup that I have had. Their homemade chili oil was also great. Can t wait to go back.
A go-to for those looking for pho. Didnt disappoint. Dietary restrictions: Please inform the server about your dietary restrictions before you order. Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant on 2nd floor and no elevator. Just stairs.
Delicious
Truly good place to have Vietnamese cuisine! 1. House special Pho is strongly recommended. The portion is generous and very hearty and tasty 2. Grilled Meat and Spring Roll noodle bowl is super tasty too! If you are not a soup person, worth to try it. 3. Vietnamese coffee could be one of the nicest option to finish your meal. It is completely different from other coffees in town!
best pho in Kelowna! love all their appies too. We go here for the lemongrass soup base. Highly recommend to anyone looking to stay warm during the cooler climate.
Pho is not good as I expected
The food is good, kitchen is able to expand the gluten free options. The restaurant was clean but not fancy. Ive only been a couple times, but the restaurant has been quiet, and the service, pretty quick.
Best in town
Absolutely amazing service with great staff. Regulars here and some how gets better every single time
Good place for a stomach ache. terrible quality brisket and beef
Authentic vietnameese food!
Some of the best pho Ive had anywhere.
Best pho in town!! I usually order out but I love to dine in sometimes as well because its a fun environment and great service. The broth is sooo flavorful and the veggies/meat are always delicious. There have been a few times where Ive tried other places in town (only when forced to because you guys were closed, dont worry!!) and they never come close to comparing! It is safe to say I love pho soc trang :) <3 Dietary restrictions: Lots of options for gluten free!
Finally found some legit Vietnamese in the Okanagan. Thank you Jesus.
The vermicelli bowls are good here.
Great pho
DELISH!!!!!!!
I love this place. I get take out every Saturday afternoon. I would love to dine in but unfortunately with the tyrannical restrictions by our government I can not. Regardless, I still support them and absolutely love their pho and lemon grass soups. I order a #36 most times and I must say that it is the best in town. When I dined in I always loved getting the deep friend banana and ice cream which I would put hot suace on . This is my comfort food for sure and 100% recommend them!
I liked the decor and the ambience of the place. It is cuter than what it appears from the street. I food was very delicious. We had a pho and a spring rolls. The spring rolls come with noodles and salad and is unexpectedly quick large a dish. The only thing that stops me from giving 5 stars is that the wash rooms was quite dirty. The walls, the toilet paper holder, everywhere... very uncomfortable.
Yum!
Good pho
Good quality pho! Even the small bowl is large enough to make you totally full!
Best Pho I ever had in my life! We will be back!
This I my number 1 place to eat in Kelowna! The food and staff are equally as amazing!
Great pho.
Absolutely the best Pho. We order for lunch at work and nobody is disappointed
This was the most horrific food order I have had in my life, there was a large piece of rubber in my pho along with a few more smaller pieces. Absolutely disgusted and will never order from here again.
The meat portions are getting smaller and smaller. Instead of meat here is a big strip of fat. Pretty expensive meal for a bunch of fat. I hope it improves.
Ordered for pick up. I showed up a little early and they had it ready for me a couple mins after I arrived. Food tasted great. 4 star only because of location and was not easy to find
Service is attentive and quick. Pho noodles to soft and crispy wontons cooked too much.
Great FOOD, great SERVICE, and GREAT location!!!...
Reasonable price and good taste
this place served my family of 10 they were amazing. Thank you guys!!! never a disappointment coming here
Great food!
Always good taste of Hue and deep fried tofu. Just the size of the bowl is getting smaller and smaller... Only tiny amount of meat is found in my soup.
tasty! After a few days of travelling, a bowl of Vietnamese rice noodles phosphorus soothes my stomach. And you can ask the merchant to help you adjust the menu to suit your needs.
Been here a few times now since moving downtown a few months ago. A great option for consistent and tasty Pho. Prices are reasonable.
Cannot believe I stay here for an hour to get my order I called before
This is my favourite pho place in town! Food is delicious, good quality, and well priced and staff are always welcoming and friendly!
This was the 3rd time I tried their House Special aka Phó Dãc Biêt. I can t get over how awesome it tastes every time. Clearly underrated. Also the lady most likely the owner is very understanding. Today was a Canada wide network outage with debits not working. I d US cash on hand. She accepted US dollars for payment. Keep up with the good food.
Food was very good. Came with a party of 8 near closing, still served us. It was all tasty. Note our party of 8 had a 18% gratuity tacked on. Pretty standard these days. Located on 2nd floor so wheelchair access may be an issue.
This restaurant is so bad, the three of us came to dine and had three tables and three bills! We are forced to leave an 18% tip on each bill when checking out! It makes no sense! Should everyone enter this restaurant separately from now on? The key point is that the service in this restaurant is also very poor. There are only two waiters, and one of them did not smile the whole time, as if someone owed her something. I will never come to this store again!
Best Vietnamese food in the Okanagan! Friendly staff and delicious authentic Viet food for a competitive price. Highly recommend Kid-friendliness: Bring the kids!
Weve eaten here before and enjoyed it so we thought wed try it again. We were very disappointed. My meal (#62) was bland and my husbands deep fried wontons were hard and pretty much inedible. He ordered a G & T and they didnt even have tonic; soda water is not an acceptable sub for the tonic in a G & T. We wont be back and we wont be recommending this restaurant.
This place used to be really good with good food and quick service. Maybe I came again on an off day, but today the food was good, but the portions seem a bit small, and service was horrible. We saw a table get seated and leave after getting no service (no one came after seating them with a menu) for 20 or so minutes.
The flavor is very original to Pho, delicious, they have very good seasoning and flavor. There are many food options, but they dont have bubble tea. They also have a bit of variety in alcoholic drinks. But the best is the Vietnamese food. Recommended if you like Vietnamese food, since there is not much variety in dessert options in general.
Pretty good pho place here in Kelowna! I usually get rare beef and beefball pho and there s was really done well. The broth was a little fatty than what I usually get but it was still nice and flavourful. I was happy that they also offered kids meals, something that not a lot of pho restaurants do. I would say this place is definitely family friendly and I would definitely recommend going here.
Awesome vermicelli. I definitely recommend. The restaurant is has a very cozy vibe to it. It is one of my favourites. Definitely recommend!
Delicious food and very friendly service
Pho was nice and hot but lots of MSG for the soup base.
The food was very good it was a unique experience the waiter picked our food for us the only dissapointment was when he said he wouldnt come to our town
Yum
Food and service was exceptional. Will be back !
Good is great
Awesome pho! I have pho everywhere, and this is the best broth I ve had in a while. 11/10.
Yummm
Always so good !
The lady would not give you the candy if you dont pay 15% tips lmao
Friendly staff and great pho, This will be my new go to for Pho! Place was very clean as well.
great cozy place! def recommend the dumpling pho
Rare Beef Pho will heal you. So delicious. Fast efficient service. A hidden gem.
In Kelowna, its got one of the more authentic phos! Great place to grab a quick casual meal and stay warm during winter.
Loved the food. Came out pretty fast.
Very cozy and nice place in the heart downtown Kelowna for a delicious pho soup The food was super tasty, fresh, served in fair sizes. Service was extremely helpful and fast. Food : 5/5
Everything was good. Even when busy service was good and fast.
First time leaving food at a pho restaurant. Noodles were left out in the air for a long time before broth was poured in, that noodles clumped together upon serving and breaking out into pieces because they were soggy. Would recommend to order something else.
Ordered Shrimp Fried Rice, 4 color bowls, and salad rolls. There were hardly any shrimps in the shrimp fried rice as you can see and even the portioning was too less. I was surprised to see that in the salad rolls, shrimps were cut into half, they were not even full. Have never seen such a thing before. Only the 4 color bowl is what I can recommend from this place. The pork skewers were good, chicken was also good but was again cut into half or quarter, spring rolls were also tasty and rice noodles were nice too. So overall an average experience.
Had a stellar lunch Friday. Vermicelli bowl was great and the Pho is indescribably good.
Excellent customer service and the food has always been great!
No dining
For takeout orders, the rice noodles, broth, and ingredients (sprouts/cilantro/sauces) were packaged separately - I appreciate having that control over the add-ons, same as if I was dining in. I had a small portion of the House Special Noodle Soup (Pho Dac Biet), which was quite filling. The beef was on the chewier side, but the broth was flavourful. The spring rolls were a good size and crispy, and came with some fish sauce.
Love love love the spicy lemongrass pho. Super quick pick up timing
I have to say while in Kelowna, you need to lower your expectation for food. This place, by Kelowna standard, might be good. But there are way better places in Vancouver. Service is good though, and price is reasonable.
Highly recommend. Great food, friendly staff, filling portion sizes. Will be back.
Delicious Pho! I only wish they had Vietnamese Subs!
Wicked meals and portion sizes are on point
Didnt expect much but pho was surprisingly ok.
I like the atmosphere of the place, Staffs are all very nice, and the food is awesome.
Their lemongrass tofu is off the hook! Service is always great. Im taking away 1 star only because Ive found the meat in the pho to be rather tough.
Pleasant and prompt service. Good food at fair prices.
ummm num num. . worth every penny, excellent service, excellent food.
Best pho in the Okanagan. Amazing service!!! Highly recommended!
Good food, fast and friendly stafc
Absolutely Beautiful
Average. The broth was plain.
Group of 4 of us went here for dinner last night, ordered 3 different pho dishes, one vermicelli bowl, and a tempura shrimp appetizer to share. It was fantastic! Clean restaurant, very COVID safe, wonderful service and staff. Will come back again soon!
The pho was just good, but the lemongrass fried tofu we add as an appetizer was actually mind-blowing. Ive got to try some of their other dishes!
Friendly waitress, delicious house made food
I come here fairly regularly for the pho specifically. Best Ive ever had.
Nice people, even better food! Definitely recommend
I ordered a house special large and there s almost no meat, each type of beef only got one to two small pieces the taste was ok but the portions of the large pho is like half of the size by comparison to any pho in Vancouver.
The lemon grass chicken is as dry as cardboard...
Awesome spot!
Great Pho and service! Cant beat the price either!
Great food, low key spot with good pricing and friendly staff. Glad I stopped by.
Love the phõ just needs basil to be perfect Update review couple less stars cheaped out on veggies and isnt the same beef maybe different owners again Another update Ive been going for years keep changing owners now its horrible its doable for me like kfc but my gf wont let me order from here again if you change owners change the name :(
Good pho with nice chewy rice noodles. I tried the spicy lemongrass pho and would say their pho is different than the pho I have had in the past. The broth is full of Flavour, no need for any addiction of sauces. Interesting veggies combo with brocoli, sliced carrots. Reasonably priced and perfect for this cold weather. Highly recommended.
Delicious and great selection, fair prices, great service.
My favorite place in the Okanagan for pho (Im from Vancouver). Very flavourful broth and great portions for an incredible price. The service was excellent. Highly recommend this place
