The food is delicious. But, you barely get anything for what you pay for. Attached is a picture of a dish I paid $17 for. There was barely any chicken.
Located at the court house square, this restaurant is an easy walking distance to downtown core of Maple Ridge. There’s also an ample parking just within the vicinity. I ordered pho with beef brisket and it didn’t disappoint. The broth is delicious, not overly salty. At the table you will find a set of condiments that includes chilli oil, hoisin sauce and soy sauce. Served with a few slices of jalapeño, Thai basil, lime and bean sprouts. While I enjoyed my dining experience, the restaurant needs to declutter some empty boxes that are visible while customers are dining.
Another great Maple Ridge Vietnamese restaurant, Hot Pho has a fantastic menu with great prices and friendly staff. We really enjoyed the spring and salad rolls, their pho was great too. I had a large bowl of pho but noticed that there wasn't as much meat and noodles as I would normally expect, but I still left full so...overall I would try Hot Pho again. The location is really convenient and parling is great, worth a stop!
This is top class restaurant in terms of food, atmosphere and service. The food is rocking for us. Hai the sole working waiter was pretty amicable and prompt.
We have been ordering from this restaurant over the past few years, Dine in and takeout, and have really enjoyed it. Food tastes great and friendly staff. However, over the past year every time we have ordered take out, the pho noodles have been broken scraps. This is the 3rd time in a row that we have ordered pho soup for take out and the noodles are all broken and small, you cannot even pick up with chop sticks. See my picture for details. Very disappointed to see this is how they are treating take out customers, when clearly it is intentional. For the time being we will be going elsewhere with hopes that with this review, they will stop doing that to customers. Be warned, if you order pho for take out, you won’t get noodles, just broken scraps.
It was okay. Flavors were decent but not as good as other places I have tried.. They didn't have sriracha. Spring rolls were tasty. May be back again.
My favorite place in Maple Ridge to get Pho. Their broth is delicious, I definitely recommend getting the grilled chicken pho it's so good! The service is also great and the atmosphere is what you'd expect from a quaint pho restaurant. 10/10 no complaints!
Opened November 2016 where Sarges Restaurant use to be. The breaded squid was very tender, not oily, and not overcooked... Very tasty! The spring roll was just the same. The Beef Pho Soup had really good flavor there was no grease floating on the top, and the beef was super tender. The rice plates both were very delicious, and the meat was again super tender and very tasty. UPDATE (Feb 2017): By far the best Pho joint in Maple Ridge. Tried the Egg Noodles with Wonton and Veggies, and it was delicious! Also had the breaded fried squid again, and again tasty!
Was told it is the place to go in MR for PHO and I was not disappointed. Left very happy and very full
Great pho, great value
Restaurant is quite dirty. Salad roll portion was very small and the sauce was watered down and slimy. Slimy means bacteria and old and rotten. Do not believe they are being food safe and would not dine here again.
The food was disappointing fish sauce had no sweet flavor to it and portions small chicken over cooked dry. Its to bad :( everything service and atmosphere good
Definitely my Go to for Vietnamese food in Maple ridge its always ready so fast!
Love their Food n Service. Very fast Food
I had excellent pho and upon request, the very nice staff brought me an extra portion of cilantro. Thank you! Wheelchair accessibility: notes and single step
I ordered salad rolls to go. They were limp and small. The peanut sauce was watered down. Will not return. Would not recommend.
Always delicious
Ive been a regular customer here and today was the last time I would ever go... Pho was underflavored again, good 50/50 if its flavored well or not bit the worst part was there was a massive Crack at the bottom of my bowl which was also chipping. When I told our server this he simply said oh thats been cracked for a long time its fine which brought me massive concern about them using broken eating utensils and bowls. When it came time to pay they gave us no discount for the chip even though we both felt terrible after our bowls. I would try to stay away from here and try a new place like pho song
Soups are great.
Best maple ridge pho
Delicious food Quick service I love going here :) Food : 5/5
When I first started going to Hot Pho the food was fresh and the service was good. Unfortunately over the past year. I have noticed that the dumplings for the soup are not quite as fresh and service has become impersonal. And this point has been shared by friends who are of the same ethnicity. Who have pointed out these facts and have often suggested that we go to other establishments for a better quality meal. Its to bad that it has come to that and i sure hope they regain what they once had. Because it was good.
Food is good.
Regular basic neighbourhood Pho spot. Nothin fancy. Your food is served quick - and is yummy Parking: Usually plenty of parking Kid-friendliness: Good for kids
Love the soups
The food is taste good but maybe they dont have enough waitress not easy to find someone for holp.
Both my daughter and I found long hair in our soups. My water tasted like hands. The noodles had a really weird texture.
Its okay to eat too much, but the broth of Bun Bo Hue tastes exactly like Pho.
The best pho in town and only $15, and the bowl is huge and great service! I wish I lived closer.
Excellent food, fair prices and friendly staff. Best Pho in Maple Ridge
The food was ok. Two lemon grass chicken rice dishes with four sprung rolls at $45. Tasty but not outstanding. The service was excellent.
Edit: You responded that vaccination isnt required anymore, but at the time of my review it was still definitely required. You also failed to address the other issues I brought up. Food is delicious, however it appears they havent updated their menus with new prices as I ended up paying more than I expected. They also never asked for my vaccine card for dine in and the waitress wasnt sanitizing the tables, just giving them a quick wipe with what looked like an old rag.
Love going here with the hubs or friends there service is quick and great! I haven t had anything that wasn t delicious!
Legit, and quick. Pork cutlet best in Maple ridge
I decided to try this through DoorDash and it was just OK. The food came quickly, but it was a smaller portion than I was expecting and not as flavorful as I m used to. Overall it was fine but pretty basic for combos. (Spring roll was not part of this combo, had to order it separately). Food
Great food!!
Rude service cold food and spoiled spring rolls , quality of food was definitely not worth price
Excellent
My go to pho place, sooooo delicious every time
The food we flavourless and stale beyond measure.
Best lemon grass chicken in town, kind owner and warm atmosphere...
The service was horrible the noodles were mush the meat was bland after serving food they dont check up on to see if you want extra beverage I was waiting upon someone for a long time just for glass of water
I have been here several times, and always left satisfied. However, today I was so unhappy so I regret to leave such a low rating. Firstly we ordered a salad roll and recieved the smallest portion I have ever seen. I understand costs are rising, but I would much prefer to a higher cost than receive such a sad portion. The broth was also relatively flavourless but passable. The worst part of this experience was the franks hot sauce in the hot sauce bottles instead of sriracha. I am well aware of the sriracha shortage that is occurring, but franks is honestly probably the worst substitute there is. Thankfully, we noticed it was franks before putting it in my soup, otherwise it wouldve been inedible. I would much prefer if they used a sriracha knock-off, or didnt have it on the table at all. Not having sriracha at a pho restaurant is unforgivable and feels like a slap in the face. It breaks my heart to leave a poor review for a local small restaurant and I would be happy to return if adjustments were made
5 iced coffee is SOOO good Excellent service, food is decent, older place but pretty well maintained. Their bubble tea pearls were a bit salty for some reason. Food : 3/5
Decent service. Good food. Clean. Not the best place but worth the visit. Edit: was 4 stars down to 3. Quality has dropped significantly. Salad rolls are a little slimy and fell apart in my hand, peanut sauce is bland and watery as is the Pho Thai broth. Im a regular and the last few visits have been disappointing. 6months later and the quality still has not improved. Service has declined, mix up on orders and the sauces and broths are sub par. Smaller portions
Nice
Foods decent, but have seriously been skimping out on the sauce lately
Best place in ridge for phoa
They gave me the wrong food, Im allergic to what they gave me. Horrible
Parking: There are parking stalls in front of the restaurant but this is a mall and the spaces go fast. If needed, you can always park in the Civic Center parkade (paid but cheap) and walk over to the restaurant which is just next door. Food
We ordered a $50 order for our Family. The order was not correct, they were missing a number of items in the order. When we called back to request and confirm we were told they made a mistake and will not resolve the order. Dietary restrictions: Specific order not met.
Super fast pho to go
The food was alright but I have had better Vietnamese food. It could be that my tastes are different than what they serve. I found the nuoc cham more sour and vinegary than what I usually get. Service was not limited with only 1 staff but overall an alright place to eat. Parking: Many spots are reserved in the small parking lot. Best to find parking elsewhere and walk to the restaurant.
Very popular pho place in town. Visit fairly regularly and have yet to be upset with the food or how fast their service is.
Good food, poor service, and the men s restroom was dirty and smelled bad. The water was unfiltered and tasted strongly of chlorine.
Quiet, comforting, lowkey. Simple menu that has something for veteran pho fans and beginners alike. Staff is friendly and so are the prices.
Service was nearly non existent, table and chairs were dirty, had to hunt for cutlery from other tables and ask for napkins, bathroom was not clean -- food was good and came quickly, but we wont be back. Too bad, as it used to be a decent neighborhood place.
Very nice ambiance. Staff is very friendly and helpful. My first experience with Vietnamese food. Very healthy and tasty also. Vegetarian options: We INDIANS need full vegetarian food. No eggs, no fish, meat.
The pho here is decent. Not extremely flavorful, but above average in taste. The staff is nice and friendly. Vegetarian options: Their veggie pho is great! The medium firm tofu goes well with the noodles and vegetables
I drove from Abbotsford just for their pho!!!
Great food...Pho with dumplings and noodles and veggies..so fresh. Great value for the price. Great for lunch or dinner.
The service was great, The pho broth alone great as was the rare beef pho. The deep fried wontons were delicious! A good amount of filling. Definitely going back.
My go too place
Everything was fresh and tasty ! Thanks !
Always had great food from here. I havent explored the menu too much but from the pho Ive had its been great. Always piping hot, lots of fresh ingredients and very accommodating to any specific requests. Big portions and price is very reasonable
Best pho broth in maple ridge
Rare beef and brisket soup. Super, super tasty. Would definitely recommend. I cannot speak for anything else on the menu.
Good food bubble tea is good a great experience.
Is what it is. Hot pho soup
Excellent service, great food..
Very good place prices very affordable. Food fresh and tasty
love their won ton pho and crispy deep fried won tons!
Always hot and fresh. Shrimp egg rolls are amazing.
Not a fancy place, very casual but food is really good full of flavour. Service friendly and quick. Definitely recommend.
Different, in a good way. Broth seemed to be poultry based maybe- for a beef stew not used to that but good flavour. They said they didnt have raw fish sauce. Which is weird cause they would need that :)
Hot Pho is an alternative PGO place in Maple ridge. I think we only have 2 Vietnamese restaurant in Maple Ridge. Their price is good compared to other Viet Restaurant. Food is good and good portion as well. Would come back here.
Perfrect!.they treat customers with respect and clean place and very yummy nice fresh food.loved it,deff will go again.
Impressive and delicious food
Excellent broth, delicious food, very friendly people, good service.
Yesterday was our first time comming in to eat at this restaurant and it was great.The borth was perfect,thanks again for the candies lol meh kidding kidding no it was great.
Cute atmosphere
The soup was yummy. It did leak out of the container though so be careful if you get pick up.
Dont do it. There are so many other good choices out there. The spring rolls were dry, tasteless, and burnt. The meat in my vermicelli dish ....well, I couldnt tell what is was, cheap meat, tasted bad. I had a fork full or two along with my guests and we had to leave it was so bad. Maybe it was a bad day, but here is another case of no quality control. The waitress was very nice and polite though. Owners, you need to step it up to compete, dont just settle. No offence but perhaps look at some new cooks or looking at food before it is sent to table, spring rolls should not be burnt. Im not sure if other reviewers have eaten at quality establishments before, I have. I am sure Hot Pho will be happy I am not coming back.
This is so far the worst Viet Food I have tasted in Bc. Their spring roll contains too many carrots, and tastes disgusting. The grill pork are bland, and oily. Fish sauce is also not better. Vermicelli rice is served in the dish, which is weird. Overall, if you want to look for good Viet dish, this is not that place.
Ordered take out, asked for them to have it ready for 6:25 and gave them over 2 hours notice. They show up and repeatedly ask what was ordered, then were rude about ordering the food early and say they threw it out (had no record of me asking for it in advance even though i confirmed). The whole while they only had two customers in the dining area and were neglecting them, asking all the takeout orders repeatedly what they ordered and being really rude.
It was so hot today I just wanted a Salad Roll. Got 3 Shrimp Salad Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce. I know it s standard fare but I REALLY enjoyed them.
Vegetarian options: Plenty of Vegetarian options
Not very impressed with this place. Do not get their vermicelli dish. Its overly priced with very minimal ingredients and small portions.
Good food, decently priced, good service.
Parking: Restaurant located inside the plaza, lots of parking Parking space
I ordered Shrimp rolls for pick up and they were so hard either over cooked or sitting out to long. Called and explained and the male that answered was rude about it! I have photos I can t post!!! NEVER AGAIN- this is 2nd time!
Its okay. I do a lot of doordash here
The pho soup wasn t bad, not the best I ve had, but not the worse, but I came home smelling like the incense they were burning in the restaurant and two hours later my clothes still smell!
Amazing broth!!! Highly recommend
I ordered the beef noodle soup with beef balls and the briskets. It was filling meal, but I thought the broth was a bit too sweet for my liking. In regards to the decor, the interior does feel a bit dated, and the bathroom needs some touch-ups to feel less dingy. 3/5
Omg the best pho on the ridge - pho sho Saved my life during the dark days of Covid
The food is okay... but for us drivers the wait time is either none for cheap orders drivers kept declining or very slo2 up to 30 to 45mins PAST the pick up time for decent orders.
Best Pho in town. Highly recommended
Absolutely terrible This place used to be so good New owners now and food quantity and quality is terrible Cleanliness is disgusting No flavour Too expensive Will NEVER be here again This place belongs on Hastings street with all the tents
Not the freshest tasting meal unfortunately, and portions seemed slimmer than average. Service was quick.
good food, slow service and typical Vietnamese restaurant ambiance
Pretty good little pho restaurant. Its nothing special. Its not that nice inside. But the food is good and comes quickly.
Its pretty good
Great service and great food!!!
Good food and quick service. Covid friendly staff and seating.
Ordered two vermicelli dishes. One was chicken and prawns and the other was chicken and minced pork. Chicken was flavorful but portion size was a his issue. The chicken and prawn had bits of chicken - 8 small broken pieces at best, not chunks. The chicken flavor was good but way too little chicken. The three prawns were more like small shrimps and was dried out on the skewer. I cant say I would recommend this place for the price they are charging.
Best pho around!
Excelent service and great food
Great food and good price. Best in Maple Ridge
I order two meals, 1. Grilled lemon Chicken with rice 2. Noodles with spring rolls, soup outside I feel that the price is not right, and asked to give me receipt, who ordered Extra Veggies? What is Chicken and Prawns? I hope you can be honest with your customers
Best pho and deep fried wontons in town.
Not so tasty
Pho is fantastic. I Always make special order request through Doordash and they are super accommodating. Highly recommend them <3
Loved it! Great staff. No masks needed.
Always the best food and good service, The staff is great to my kids and the restaurant is clean. Would recommend the fried squid, it s not heavily battered, it s light and very tasty. There is plenty of parking outside and it s never too crowded either Probably the best pho in Maple Ridge
Great food fast I like it!
Simple, yummy kalamari!
Good food! Had the meatball pho and lemon grass chicken with rice.
Friendly prompt service with tasty food. All I can ask for
Great place and prices are super affordable. Our server was so sweet. Would come back!!
Good one in this area.
Great food, love the servers
Great tasting soup and the grilled meat dishes was delicious as well!
The food is decent but man the quantity you get. The environment is nice and it stays peaceful in the early evening.
Meh. Its not really an authentic Vietnamese restaurant but more of a Chinese restaurant. We ordered chicken and pork grilled, and it didnt taste like anything. (Its supposed to be marinated with lemon grass) Spring rolls are basically egg rolls you can get from Chinese restaurant. Waitress is inattentive. More focused on door dash than actual dine in customers However environment is nice.
Get the cold drip coffee. It will change your life.
Good food. Nice staff.
Probably one of the sickest pho places Ive had the pleasure of eating at, would recommend to everyone
nice foods
kindness
Best flavour broth in town!
Always fast service everything Ive ordered tastes great
Yummy pho. All you need!
Really good
Honestly the best Pho places around ridge, and greater area. Great tasting broth/noodles, and amazing meat/rice dishes. Cant recommend this place enough if youre in the area!
Hot Pho is OK. We ordered banh mi, house special pho and a grilled chicken plate, and all were good but not fantastic. Pho broth was tasty, but the dish was a little light on toppings, banh mi bread was not crispy and fresh like we are used to at other local competitors. Service was adequate, but with the bare minimum of interaction. Decor was tired and certainly not swanky, but par for the course with pho restaurants. Overall, while it was fine, we probably wont be back in favour of some stronger local offerings.
Good food poor service!!
The pho us just how I like it with the meat thinly sliced and tender and the broth is a perfect balance of flavours. Could be a little tidier tho, tables, sauce bottles and such. That is a bit off putting.
Tasty grilled chicken noodle soup and good environment
Not the best pho place Ive been to but still really good. Rather quick service too, as Ive only had the soups.
A bit pricey but very good. Will eat here again.
Food is awesome and the service is quick!
Not bad, but not really vegetarian friendly as the menu is mostly meat and when I ordered salad rolls I thought they are vegetarian but they turned out to have shrimp in them. I would recommend to make it more clear on the menu of the ingredients for each menu item :) good service tho!
Awesome food, super friend staff and the owners always go an extra mile to make sure that there customer are satisfied and comfortable
Customer service experience wasnt the best here when I came here with my girlfriend, she found a piece of HAIR inside a spring roll, dont get me wrong, mistakes happen like this at any restaurant. So we kindly told them that we found a piece of hair inside and expected a new order as of good customer service is supposed to be. The waitress was skeptical of what we found and had to point it out to her, she then takes it back to the kitchen quickly for the cook to come out and blame it was my girlfriends hair in the food instead..., They brought back the food and showed us that there was no hair because clearly they took it out in the kitchen and still has the audacity to say it was ours when what we say the hair was INSIDE the spring roll. Nontheless food is still great but this was just a bad customer service experience.
The taste is similar here and there, but I think it needs more friendly service.
Love the soup nice and hot and very very tasty.. staff is amazing
We are regulars here and it is hands down the best pho restaurant anywhere! Everyone we have brought absolutely LOVES it here. The staff is warm, the service is fast and the pho is perfect. We hit it up here atleast once a week!
Wow what an awful experience! Spring rolls we re greasy and soup was flavourless and fairly sure the sliced beef in the soup was on its last day as it had a foul smell. None of the 9 tables were cleaned off in the full hour I sat there for, service was awful and painfully slow. Was dirty and no social distancing practice was implemented and staff didn t wear masks. They really need to hire another staff! Will never go back
I already told the waitress NO CILANTRO NO GREEN!!!!! I called them ask for change. They asked me try to get them out .
Its actually hard to find good Pho. Ive found it here! Very tasty and great portions.
Amazing food! Fast service would definitely recommend.
Great tasting food
Delicious pho and lemonade. Not a lot of vegan options, but definitely do-able. Very friendly staff. Thanks! :)
We ve been eating here for a couple years but recently the quality has gone down hill. The large size soups have turned into the small size, flavour is not as good, and spring rolls were soggy. And then we found a few large black hairs in the vermicelli. We called to see if they d do anything about it and they passed the phone around to 3 different people and tried to pretend like they didn t understand what we were saying. Sadly not eating here anymore, this was our go-to pho spot
Okay pho, Ive had much better and for what they charge not sure if Ill return.
Friendly staff + yummy food.
Good Pho
The pho is good, the Wings are absolutely delicious
Great food and people.
It was indeed one of the good pho I have had in a long time. Fresh and flavourful.
Best pho in ridge!
Love this place!!! Eat here probably once a week!!
Best place for delicious pho and great customer service
Dec 18, 2020 I have never been to this restaurant before. I ve been to a Vietnamese noodle restaurant in Coquitlam and that was 15 years ago with my brother . We both had the noodle soup it was not salty Some Vietnamese restaurants in the Greater Vancouver area do tend to put too much salt in their noodle soup. The deep fried spring rolls that I ordered for take out at one restaurant were very good I can honestly say that I have never found a hair in anything . Though after reading the reviews abouts this restaurants makes you think twice about going to a Vietnamese restaurant The staff who work there dont speak very good english at all and they have difficulty learning the language
Always our favorite place to have pho in ridge
Good pho. Fast friendly service.
The best pho ever it was delicious
Hands down one of the best pho places in the lower mainland.
