Pho Spot in North Vancouver

Unfortunately this was the worst pho, bun and spring roll I have ever had Please spare yourself the experience and find another spot Also too expensive for how low the quality and flavour was

Very nice tasty food. We cane with 4 friends....awesome pho and Bahn mi

Stopped by here for a quick bahn mi lunch after a mountain day .. very tasty and decent price. Yummy!

The food is great, service is always friendly

Food is amazing, better than any other Vietnamese restaurant near me, and the people there are so kind, especially the woman you will probably order from.

We always come here for Pho with the whole family. It s so delicious, and also the grilled meats with rice (recommend R6)! Big portions and a nice establishment

The food here is pretty good and I ve ordered from them many times, but one day ordered their chicken noodle soup and had a horrible allergic reaction (I don t have known allergies). When calling them to ask what was in the broth for spices she said they don t put spice in it and don t have a spicy chicken noodle soup (they thought I was calling to place a new order), I tried to clarify that I mean how do they season it, I was currently eating their chicken noodle soup and that I was having an allergic reaction and just needed to know what they used to flavour the broth, she passed me over to a man who said if I have an allergy then I shouldn t order their food. I politely asked again if could just find out because it could be an emergency, he said the chef is not in (yet they ve been open for 2 hours), I asked if they could call me back once they are in- and he hung up the phone. It s really unfortunate that they chose to interact this way, because the food is usually good here, but this type of customer service, especially when it could be an emergency is not okay.

I love this place. The food is always delicious. Their prices went up after COVID but so did everyone elses. It makes me sad to see negative reviews about the owners service. She has always been amazing to myself and my wife. We get treated like family by the owner. Thanks for the wonderful food and amazing service.

I Picked up an order and I had a thermal bag that I needed help with to put the food in the bag. The lady was very mean and said .. No do it yourself I was very taken back as to how rude she was and she did not care. Will never recommend this place

Just had dinner here and I was very terrified of the server lady who yelled at a innocent customer. Definitely glad to be out of there.

I ve been relishing their Pho for a number of years, and realized I hadn t ever shared a review! Okay, the reason this is my go to place is their quality and the feel of a family business. Being a creature of habit, I always have their rare beef, they willingly swap the noodles for egg noodles and I just kick back and savour those delicious flavours. The backbone of any Pho is its broth, theirs is excellent and most importantly, consistent! Once you ve tried this place, you ll be spoiled for life

Probably still one of the best pho in North Van. LOVE the chili sauce~! Unfortunately, prices have increased rather significantly compared to pre COVID. Food

Best pho on lonsdale. Broth is good but noodles could be chewier and if better quality.

Customer service in terms of friendliness is not good. Very loud and not polite. Food is good. Salad Rolls are great. Soup base is flavourful. Spring roll was pretty tasty but could be bigger. Prices for vermicelli dishes are high. The price doesn t match the location, restaurant, etc. i will say that the very bad reviews scared me from this place but I enjoyed my food. But the customer service was exceptionally bad. Also more expensive than should be.

AWFUL SERVICE. I ordered vegetarian peanut satay pho over the phone for pickup. I normally order uber eats elsewhere to work, but I had time before work and wanted to support local. When I had my break and opened my soup it was beef. I called and was told I ordered beef (I am a vegetarian, I did not). They told me they would not issue a refund. They were very rude, and I tipped 18% totaling the dinner I didnt get to eat to $26. As someone who has worked in food services and still works in customer service, Pho Spot was quite possibly the worst service I have ever had. Vegetarian options: NOT VEGETARIAN. They assured me it was vegetarian when I ordered vegetarian peanut satay pho over the phone, then and got beef. They refused a refund. I was not able to eat at work that night.

If you can stand the lady that runs this place the food is decent. Would opt for the pho98 tho food is just as good and they are very nice.

I had calamari here a few years ago (before covid) and I will always remember this place because I had the most expensive calamari here my whole life. I ordered a calamari for take out. When I opened it after I got home I was surprised to see exactly 7 pieces of calamari sitting in a full size takeout container. That order was 7 dollars. 1 dollar per 1 piece of calamari. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER.

Mediocre pho and indifferent service (at best) I really only go here when i need a late night bite after the bar. Under any other circumstances it would be a no go.

Dietary restrictions: Rudeness

Prior to covid, we visited this place on a regular basis for a quick fairly priced decent meal. However, after covid, three things happened: 1. The prices of their dishes went up by a lot. 2. The portion size shrank even more. 3. The customer service tanked to the bottom. Regarding the last point it appears to me that this restaurant is now more focused on profiting from food deliveries than from dine in customers. As such they no longer feel it necessary to treat their regular customers with respect, or cultivate relationships with their regular customers. Because of this, our family has stopped eating at this restaurant.

This restaurant has been approved a lot, l at first, the score on Google was a bit low, I have tried the food here more than twice, and the food is very good, and the service is also excellent. I always pick up the pho from here.

Service was terrible, unbelievably rude to my kids and my mom. They didn t give water nor tea. Didn t put through my daughter s drink order. No basil, tiny plate of bean sprout for 5 people. And much more

This place feels just like home. The pho is outstanding and they give a lot of meat. Very value for its price. Moreover, the nice auntie inside was very helpful when I asked her question. I m not in the North Van area very often but this pho restaurant beats out a lot of the pho restaurants in Burnaby and Vancouver. Would highly recommend anyone to check it out when you re here.

The food is delicious and the staff members are very friendly. They give out a very friendly atmosphere where you feel like you re at home.

Stopped in here because we found ourselves with some extra time in North Van. Unfortunately, I judged this place without actually having tried it, my partner insisted, so we went in. Has to have been some of the best Pho and some of the best Vietnamese we have had to date. The ladies working there were very polite and helpful and the food was exactly what I was hoping for. We got the P2, V1 and the spring rolls. Great sized portions. Very tasty!

Amazing grilled chicken banh mi and coffee

The two ladies working in this restaurant are very rude and angry. You will not have a good experience at this place.

Old authentic Vietnamese restaurant, hard to pick from the menu but the food was awesome!! Definitely come back

Amazing! It s real vietnamese restaurant and they REALLY KNOW how to cook it. Thank you. I will come again.

Just had pho here!! SO GOOD!!

Food was excellent!! Great service and my soup was absolutely delicious !

Good pho for anyone with nice local vibes and wanting some deeper soup! Plenty of meat in Pho and the usual sauces and sides provided.

This can be a quick bite if u have dire need for pho. But if u r travelling and only have a few precious meals to spend on, dont come here. The beef is very rough, Very unseen in viet pho shops. I understand no good pho shop in north Van, but this is bad. I ordered P10 with tendon.....could not find it.... went to confirm with the keeper before starting on it. Was told it was there....... searched n searched, got traces of it as little as nail size. Ordered hot drip coffee, and was given with the thermos flask (in the pic), once opened the top, it got smudge as if a personally-used flask. The broth was tasty though. No service at all, and the keepers (?) looked and spoke fiercely.

Great little spot. Pho is consistently good.

The owner is super rude and has absolutely no idea how to treat a customer. If you have self respect don t step into this place. Food

Terrible food, Worst Pho Ive ever had, dirty place, low customer service, not worth the price. Food

Such a miserable experience. Dirty restaurant with a rude owner, what a combination. Worst customer service ever.

Food was cold , unfriendly staff, unclean place.

I m giving this place 1 star I was so excited that i found a pho spot that I loved.. today I found a strait hair in my noodles. The woman looked at my hair (extremely curly) and scoffed at me. I received no apology just pure attitude as if I don t come in and tip 20+ percent every time. I don t expect service when I come in - but if there s a mistake OWN IT.

We two were the only customers yesterday around dinnertime. We sat down. A middle-aged lady with a rude demeanour brought us only one menu, which was awkward because we were seated across from each other. From the moment we sat down, we were shocked how rude and unwelcoming she was. That horrid woman brought us one knife, one fork, one spoon, and one set of chopsticks, even though there were two of us. Red flag! We ordered grilled pork with rice and grilled pork with noodles. Both came with rolls, but not the Vietnamese rolls we have become accustomed to. These were like Chinese rolls - possibly frozen. They were horrible. Worse, I highly doubt that was pork on our plates. It tasted like beef and it was cut badly - inches long with lengths of fat in it. My friend told me his noodles tasted musty. When I asked for a Vietnamese coffee, that horrid woman said to us, Oh, its too strong for her. My friend said, No, its not. She drinks a lot of coffee. He said to me, I get the intense feeling that she doesnt want us here. Racism perhaps? I wonder if other non-Vietnamese have been treated similarly. She was rude to us the entire time we were there. The food was horrible. The service was horrible. That womans attitude was one of the worst I have ever witnessed in a server. I was going to leave a very small tip, but my friend shook his head so I didnt leave any tip. We wont ever be going back to that awful little place with that morose, unfriendly server. Judging from the reviews, she will never change her attitude. I just looked at a great many of the 1-star negative reviews, and all of them seem to be written by customers with non-Vietnamese names. Again, perhaps racism is the problem with her.

All part of the adventure I loved the walk there and back from my parking spot. The neighborhood was really nice. I even found an important present, and one for me I highly suggest the magazine store a few blocks up. When it came to the food.... there were a few things I enjoyed and like I said, the walk was lovely. Honestly, I kindly asked for no cilantro and the noodles and meat were covered, the meat tasted stale, and the broth did not have peanut sauce but possibly fresh crushed peanuts... I should also know better than to order calamari from a pho place The smoothie was pretty good and the broth (minus chunky bits) was ok, even if not what I thought it was going to be. I may never go back, but I dont think Ill forget it

This is such a bad place for pho. The waitress has a bad attitude and bad service. I can tell they didn t even wash their hands. I will never come here again. The noodle is disgusting. I do not suggest anyone come here there are way better pho places.

I ve been here a couple times and it s always been amazing. Some of the best pho I ve ever had. I can t see why they have such a low rating. Nothing to complain about here.

Terrible service and the vegetarian pho was just OK. Lots of noodles and broth hardly any vegetable and only 2 pieces of tofu for a large bowl of pho. I dont understand why some restaurants feel like they dont need to add vegetables or tofu to a vegetarian dish especially when they charge $15 per bowl. Would not recommend this place

the waitress is very angry, and the talked with me very loads. I have never had a bad experience like this in my life.

I have been going to this place for years. Some of the best pho in town. However, the worst costumer service I ve ever experienced. The owner, who is also the main server is beyond rude. I had such a terrible experience, it left my mouth bitter and made me never want to support their business again.

The waitress is really RUDE with some people. The food is really good, but the lady makes that place look not so nice

Prompt service. Food was on the table within 10min. More than enough sprouts and a slice of lime to squeeze on top. My soup came with a special noodle because it was a special type of soup, she checked to make sure I knew that. The food was very good value for the size of portion. I left full and satisfied. Keep in mind they will not check in with you; if you require anything in addition after they drop the food off or wish to pay. The solution is to simply stand up and go to the counter she will jump off her chair to serve you. Its 4 stars from me. If you are in the mood for Pho or any Vietnamese dish I highly recommend this spot. Its legit.

Ordered Bun Bo Hue as my usual test. Looks like they just swapped noodles and added hot sauce. No pork hock, ham or blood tofu.

Consistently good Vietnamese spot. Huge vermicelli portions and pretty decent pho and Banh Mi. Quick service and friendly staff.

Best PhO in North Van !

My go-to pho place in North Van. Always great, all the pho is full of flavour especially my most favoured (Bon Bo hue). Consider getting house made chili oil on the side and your set for a extra flavourful hot experience. Anybody who suggests the customer service is rude, is clearly so disrespectful not to realize the owner has a stutter problem to say the least, which to me isn t even a problem at all. It s amazing and highly motivational to see how anyone can do great in life even a person who stutters can be a successful business owner.

Big portion and good late night choice.

The ladys attitude can not tollerate in CS. She was so unhappy about serving me as customer as soon as I step in the door. The coffee amount was visibly less than other restaurants(or only for me) and when I ask take out cup to bring my coffee out she continually speaks her language that I could feel that words are talking about me which made me feel insultating. And when other customers pay she had small talk, say good bye, have a nice day while when it became my turn, she literally say nothing even thank you. Ill never visit here again and will not recommend any of the people I know. Improve your attitude better when doing customer service.

Had the grilled lemongrass chicken and roll with rice. Good portion, good food, friendly staff

Beef noodle soup and other side dish very good flavor and fresh veggies.

After our second round of food poisoning here I thought I d look up their VCH restaurant inspection reports, and after reading them decided to never eat here again. I thought that might be mould on our Vietnamese salad rolls, but thought it couldn t be now I m convinced it was. Gross.

Love this place, the service is great, very very quick. The food is great. I highly recommend.

Had the steak and brisket. Broth was okay quiet flavourful. A couple of gripes; lady server could be friendlier and the price was higher compared to other pho places I visited. But you don t know until you try -> will not visit again.

The owner is outright rude and unreasonable. She makes it impossible to have a peaceful meal as she is yelling and abusing around at customers and doordashers.

Ive seen much worse customer service in my time, but this takes the cake. Once, I went there to eat. The food was fine, but the wait staff seemed quite agitated and hostile toward the customers. Another occasion, I ordered takeaway for myself and several friends; however, when I asked the staff to provide us with four forks and some napkins, the employee became quite irate and told me that the maximum number of items I could request was two. In the end, after we asked again, she threw three forks into my arm!

NEVER AGAIN! Thy have cut back on the portions and quality of their meals because of inflation. In doing so, they have made the cost ratio no longer worth it. They have also started to rip me off. My take away comes with a fried roll. I also order a second roll, BUT I ONLY GO ONE. THATS 3.50. And they are no longer predictable regular size. They are the size of a pencil . When I called them, they dismissed it. Ill learn to cook these meals now.

Should have given 2 stars , thinking the food will surpass the attitude of the big lady server. No remorse to customers not very polite asking what we want. 2pcs of spring rolls in the picture when I asked why only one piece came she said do not rely on the picture . And its very tiny like a dime in diameter far from picture that looks like a loony in diameter She didnt even offer a drink (water or tea) when we asked why they didnt give us drinks, she replied you should tell me what you want or need and after we paid she asked if we still need tea . we have 2 kids and we said were sharing they didnt give extra utensils and plates for the kids, when asked for extra plate she gave 2 mini plates enough to fit 1 muffin from Tims. And shes shaking her head. the food is salty we ordered 2 pork chops on rice and it looks like just a flatten piece of pork and not a real pork chop. DO NOT EAT HERE, if you dont want to be annoyed and disappointed Read all the bad reviews its all true.

unbelievably rude staff. disrespectful and petty. Decent pho

I give this place 3 stars for the great food and the comical service. The lady that serves you each and every time without fail will make you feel not only unwelcome but also unappreciated. The first few times I was offended but after time I just came to accept her as she is. A miserable person serving great food.

I never suggests Pho Spot to you, since the waitress behavior is rude.

My go to spot for pho in Central Lonsdale. I like the beef ball pho with fried wonton. Easy, simple and delicious not to mention good value

There are 4 employees. Not to mention the hygiene, the ladies in particular are very polite. ^^ Is it possible that only Asians are rude? ^^? And there are 3 people. They only gave me 2 spoons and chopsticks. They didnt even give me a plate and told me to take it with me, so I dont know why they were so angry. Also, I ordered it while taking a picture of the chicken food, but when I told them that the dumplings came out wrong, they got angry and said that you guys ordered the same thing. ^^ Those of you who go here, please think carefully before you go.

One of the Vietnamese pho places in North Vancouver. Soups were flavourful, serving size was a little on the smaller size considering the price of $16 a bowl. But I guess its location is smacked in the middle of Lonsdale so probably reasonable considering that.

This place has really good pho. The only negative about them is the service. The owner/server is unfriendly.

I always go for the P14. Always a treat and amazing comfort food. Flavourful broth and generous meat portions.

Service was rude ... not anything special ... so why not go elsewhere.

They are very rude and impolite. Every time I ve gone there they waste my time. They are not punctual and I never suggest to anyone that restaurant.

Its terrible. Never go to this restaurant. Disgusting! Never, Never go to this restaurant. The owner was very rude, the food and restaurant were disgusting.

Very rude. No customer service.

Terrible service , if you can call it that. And the food is just as bad! Will never be back.

Service is poor...food okay but not the best. My issue is the attitude of the service. But convenient location. Could be ran so much better providing more quality service to more of our Canadians.

There was a fly in my bag of bean sprouts. Ordered takeout pho (rarely do- never as good as in a resturant), they must not keep the bean sprouts fresh/ a good lid because there was a fruit fly crawling around inside the bag of bean sprouts. This was a few months ago, havent gone back since :(

The grilled pork bahn mi is AMAZING, and that s coming from someone who literally visited Vietnam 1.5 years ago!

This is my go to pho place on the North Shore. It s the closest thing to the authentic Pho served for breakfast on the bustling streets of Hanoi. They are one of the only places I know that also serve vegetarian broth, so if you dine with a pescatarian they can order the seafood pho with vegetarian broth. The family that owns this place are so sweet and really grateful for the business each time. The food speaks for itself. Highly recommend.

Bad attitude, impolite woman is working there. Hope she became friendly with everyone.

Delicious

The order wasn t correct and when I called to find out what happened the person I talked to could not communicate very well over the phone.

This is our go-to spot for Vietnamese food on the North Shore. My wife and I absolutely love it! We always receive excellent service from the couple that owns the place who are inviting, warm and appreciative every time you walk in to dine or pick-up. Our favourite options are the rare beef pho (their broth is the best I have tasted), the vermicelli bowls and the Vietnamese coffee! Highly recommend!

Found giant fly in peanut sauce that comes with salad rolls, noticed on second bite. Ordered for delivery, so disgusting couldn t finished the rest of the food. Won t be ordering from here again

Ordered a bahn mi and coffee and accidentally selected hot instead of cold on uber eats and asked if i could have it iced. She wouldn t add ice despite me offering to pay the $0.50 difference on a very hot day. The coffee was $6.50. The bahn mi was also aggressively mediocre. Having spent at least $200 at this shop, they just lost a customer over $0.50. Very rude service.

Nice spot for a quick lunch. Pho comes out fast and taste is good. Service is great, they treated my father very well.

So impolite and dirty. I found a strand of hair in my food. I told her and she pretended to not see the hair at first, then she just threw away the hair as if she was trying to erase evidence. After, she didn t even say sorry, and she was rude despite the fact that she did something wrong. Also, another waiter who served us utensils touched the part of the spoon that goes in our mouths. Overall, I wouldn t recommend this restaurant at all

We ordered pho, nobody told us the beef is rare, thats ok, but we also ordered pork+shrimp where there was basically no shrimp (3 pieces altogether). We ordered from skipthedishes, the delivery guy left it at the entrance of the apartment building even though I explicitly added the buzzer as delivery instruction. Not so happy ..

Food is so bad . Dont go there. So dirty .

Stay away. Terrible pho, broth is disgusting and the people are not accommodating and rude onto of it less then 1 star if possible

Horrendous customer service. We ordered on door dash, and the app doesnt have an appropriate customization so I added it in the notes and called to confirm. The woman who answered was SO rude and claimed you could do it on the app, and wouldnt accommodate our BROTH choice as if that would have shut down her restaurant. We simply canceled, but Im leaving this review because as I was trying to understand how to properly order through the app, she just hung up on me.

Spicy beef noodle soup was awful. Not at all satisfied. Vermecilli was good -three stars because of the soup.

Some of the best pho Ive had. Savoury as heck and not skimpy on any ingredients, the broth is beautifully clear and flavorful. Thoroughly recommended

Was ordering Pho from several places around the North Shore at first. Was recommended Pho Spot by a friend. Have not looked back for several years now. Always fresh. Always tasty. Kids hoover it up. Thank you, Pho Spot!

Awesome PHO, they have a great ratio of soup to noodles, service was fast food is hot. Staff is very friendly and accomdating my new favourite PHO Spot

Didnt live up to its namesake in my opinion... was just okay...

My girlfriend and I go almost once a week the food is always amazing and the owners are really nice. You wont regret a trip here.

Today when it was drizzling in North Vancouver, I suddenly came here thinking of rice noodles. What I order is Pho Tai Chin Nac and Goi Cuon(salad roll) and eat them all ! It is a taste of Vietnam.

Best pho in Vancouver. Pho Saté... omg so good

Good Pho. Spring rolls and egg rolls were both good. The Pho meat was tasty and good quality. The meal was a little pricey

TLDR: premium price for not so premium bowl of pho Maybe Im spoiled from all the good Pho found in Richmond and Vancouver but this place has got to be one of the worst pho ive tasted in the past decade. I ordered a raw beef pho while my partner ordered a brisket and raw beef pho. I put these in quotation because both bowls look all the same as the meat was shriveled and not even raw. The brisket was 90% fat and it was as thin as a strand of hair. The noodles had a smell to it, a sign that it was precooked earlier. The soup was underwhelming and the sides look depressing. The worst is that they placed the raw sprouts near the sink and I could see one of the waiter washing his hand next to it! Service was also non existent.

If you order delivery, they always cancel the order. Never order delivery. Im dying of hunger, but they made me wait for a long time and then pressed cancel delivery. Its so annoying. Really, you dont do that..

Pho is 10/10 and the owners are super nice people. I live in Coquitlam but make the drive down to North Vancouver once in awhile to enjoy a delicious meal at my favourite Vietnamese restaurant. Highly recommend their Bun bo Hue with a nice refreshing Vietnamese we ice coffee with condensed milk!

Regular customer here! From the numerous visits, I ve tried the pho (with various toppings), bun bo hue (it s a spicy-ish soup noodle and one of their specialities) and their iced Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk and mango smoothie! I m never disappointed despite any choice that I make here. The servers are friendly, but you have to get to know them; there might be a cultural barrier that some people aren t used to. Other than that, great (& quick) food & superb service every time i m here!

This place is seriously underrated! Everything that I have ordered from here has been incredibly tasty and will definitely come back in the future!

Hands down the best pho Ive had. So good as in I want it again the next day. Appetizers excellent as well. Only takeout so far because of Covid, but my interactions with the staff have all been pleasant as well and the prices are very fair. Love it!

came i at 9:50. told us to sit down. waited 15 minutes and still no menu or asking us what we wanted. there was no customer. grabbed a menu from next table myself and asked to take our order. this was the reply. I am busy. give me a second ya? waited a full minute more and just left the restaurant.

The pho here is really good, and the price is decent. The woman who works here (I think shes the owner) has always been really friendly and has had a conversation with me everytime Ive visited.

The PHO is just amazing!

This place is great. The food is delicious and the service is quick sitting in or getting take out. My favorite North Shore pho place. Two thumbs up.

Over priced. Mediocre food

Good portions. Ok food. Well packed for takeout.

1 walked by

very rude woman working here. The way she talks is so rude that I just walked out without ordering anything.

Came here at Pho Spot before. Although its the only spot open late in north van I would not waste money here. They gave us two pieces of small lemon for 2 large soups.

I have an allergy and the owners worked with me to figure out what I could have on their menu. They were very friendly, food came out quickly and was a good portion size. Ill definitely be back for lunch!

The meat was disgusting, like if it was old, I got sick!

Dont bother. this was disappointing. i like Vietnamese food, but there was no love in my meal. luke warn food served on a cold plate. first and last time i go there. better good next door

Super tasty pho. The service is great. The staff is very friendly as well. I highly recommend.

Excellent quick service and great food banmi is amazing and the broth for the pho is great as well

Is not worth to go, yesterday my first and last very very bad faceing with customer s .. Stor need improvement not only that the lady I dont know is working or onwer need improvement also .. Shes keep talking from I went inside until I go out I gived to order but they dont understand what I said when I was eating they bring wrong items after she upset and told me I said is something after 3 times I get but still after that I return and wait for my wings come but I find out they didnt get even my 2 order anyway she said u want wings and she get at second time.. Really really (0) customers service.. Not worth to go.

Went here with my friends one afternoon after school. The food taste delicious, service was fast and efficient, staff were super friendly. Im a born Hanoian so I would say my judgement would be reliable and I was pleasantly surprised at the accuracy of the Pho broth. Definitely brought back memories and the food is remarkably authentic!

Love the Food & Hospitality Service

Really good soup and food and ready quickly....highly recommend.

One of the best neighbourhood restaurant. Big portion, tasty soup and friendly service.

One of my favourite restaurants in North Vancouver!! Vegetation options available

One of the only places open late on lonsdale! Not only is the food delicious but the owners are some of the sweetest people ever. The fact that they run this place themselves daily is basically a superpower in itself.

This place has turned us in to regular customers as my wife and I eat here at least once a week. We normally go for the Vietnam Subs, and Veggie pho. The food is always consistently good. The store is a basic yet comfy set-up and always VERY clean, especially the bathrooms! The owners are hardworking folks (they run the shop 12 hours day, 7days a week) and always make sure my wife, friends and I have a great meal and mood when we eat in. Will be back again for our once a week visit.

overprice

Broth and meat is good. But the noodles need improvement. They are mushed together into a ball as if they came out of a shrink wrapped package from the fridge. I assume they precook the noodles and reheat them when time to serve. The noodles are so tightly jammed together that they break apart as you try to separate them. Still decent overall and will go again.

sorry to say that this is one of the worst pho experiences Ive had. The food was bland, the chili was bland, the vermicelli was hard and even if you put the sauces on it was still dry. Poor service. no check in for tea refills or anything. was my first and last time I will dine here. Maybe the dinner is better but I do not recommend for lunch.

Our go to place for Pho on North Shore. Great pho and vermicelli dishes. Decent prices.

Great service and personable attention from owner run restaurant. Great broth and fair pricing. Good Pho spot. Will visit many more times. Good find

They have good food and friendly staff

The pho was the best I ve ever had!

Good food, reasonably priced

My new favorite pho restaurant! I have been back 4 times already since my first visit. Their broth is delicious, service is fast and I think their noodles are the best. Always perfectly cooked. Their spring rolls are also great, not super greasy like other places. Best place to get pho in North Van.

Best pho, Lady (owner) is awesome

Dont get fouled by some of the reviews! This is authentic Vietnamese cuisine right on Lonsdale Ave. Amazing Pho :) We come every week and still can get enough of it

From the moment we walked in the lady at the front was already glaring. We asked for some extra bean sprouts and I told her we would pay extra before she got a chance to get mad, but she was refusing for the first bit. I said it s no problem to pay extra, but she insisted that what we had was enough for my boyfriend and I. We asked for the red spicy sauce but she said she pre mixed it in the ramican we had. It isn t to our liking... She had some behind her pre made to go and I said we could pay for it just please throw it in the bag. She said just to open our bowls and throw it in from the sauces on the tables. I said that we just want to have a positive experience here hoping she d come around but she continued to be rude throughout. I m not sure why she was in such a bad mood, the man behind her was looking at us laughing as if he deals with it all the time. I am not one to go out of my way to say negative things, but this women made the experience negative from start to finish. I hope she gets the help she needs to be happy inside but I would never give my business to someone who tries to pick a fight over a couple bean sprouts and sauces lol.

I ordered a dish I was unfamiliar with, when I asked about it there was a miscommunication on what I was expecting. I asked so this is the same as this? And she said yes. My pho came with egg noodle. I very politely said this was not what I was expecting and if we could re make it with rice noodles. She made a huge fuss and caused a scene in front of everyone in the restaurant. My girlfriend was happy to pay for another dish but at this point she has embarrassed us enough I didn t want to give any more service. Honestly, if a guest is unhappy or wants something fixed, their needs should come first without hesitation. Rice noodles are dollars so I don t know why she had to fight me on me just wanting to enjoy my meal properly.

We love coming here. Food is great!

So good. Very satisfied. Kind service and good food

Great Food and super quick!!

First time at Pho Spot, my regular is Pho Japolo on Marine Drive. This isnt the worlds greatest Pho but its a big tasty bowl of deliciousness and comfort on those cold winter days. The staff are incredibly nice and help with reccomendations and preferences :)

This has got to be the worst, most embarrassingly RUDE customer service ever! But isn t that typical at these type of locations?. Should not be the case. Satisfying large pho

Food are delicious and affordable. Clean and well maintained. Staff knows whats best for you.

Cloudy broth

Solid pho, and theyre open until later than nearly everything else! Recommend small 15, and splitting a grilled pork Bahn mi with a friend. The main waitress can sometimes be brusque, but Ive kinda grown used to it.

so bad

This the best Pho place in Vancouver, the food is great, very tasty and clean. The lady owner is super nice when you are nice to her, otherwise she is just cold as ice! But I dont mind since the pho is so good. Try the papaya or taro bubble tea, it is great. They are open till late.

It was delicious, but the staff was bad. I asked for a napkin, but they told me to take it out of the bathroom. Even the toilet paper was very dirty.

Great food, good pricing, but if you expect prefect English from the owners, its not going to happen. These people are from a different culture, they do an excellent job and the food and portions are excellent!

Place is clean and tidy...was welcomed as soon as I stepped inside and was given a table by the door while other tables are empty in the back. I advised the staff its cold and I rather not sit beside the door... Which then she agreed to have us on the other table after a big sigh and roll of her eyes. She proceeded to take our order. But the food came one at a time with 10-15 mins gap.. By the time all foods were in, my food was cold. Quality of service was extremely terrible, quality of food was mediocre, i woulnt not go again. Do not recommend.

Terrible!! Food poisoning!

My friends and I had an unbelievably terrible experience at Pho Spot tonight. We went there just for dessert. There were three or four tables signed RESERVED so we had to sit near the door which was quite cold. Since we had eaten dinner somewhere else already, we just ordered Vietnamese coffee. When one of my friends tried to order a sweet coconut drink, the lady(the owner?) said very bluntly No, no more on the menu! Her attitude was very rude and wasnt apologetic at all. When my friend gave out some gifts from her trip, the lady rushed to us and said, dont eat any food from outside!! We were stunned! We hadnt opened the bags at all, and werent going to eat anything. The sign outside the restaurant read that the restaurant is open until 11:30pm everyday. Around ten oclock, the lady started to sweep the floor, and gave us a bill. We are closed. she said without warning. However, a few minutes later, another customer came in and he was allowed to order food. This was a horrible experience, and I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Good pho for what it is! Ate here for weeks when I worked in the area. Friendly staff and good pho. Would recommend trying it out!

Soup was not clear because the beef is not fresh so the blood was in it. Too much GMO in the soup not enough real stock to improve the flavor. The noodle was all sticky and tangled like a wool ball sunk into the bottom of the bowl. Asked specifically no cilantro but didn t listen and told me those are green onion. One star is for the bathroom. It s so bad that I doubt how it can survive on Lonsdale. Server was super inpatient and acted like the customer owed her a million dollar.

Tasty, affordable Vietnamese food. Service is basic and largely unfriendly, and the dining room is very spartan, but the large selection and good quality of dishes makes up for those deficiencies. This is one of the few Lonsdale-area restaurants that stays open late all week.

Tried 9 different items over the 3 times I went there. Everything was good; nothing bad, nothing amazing. They serve their soup very hot so take a bit of time with your appetizer before you dive into the Pho. What I liked most about their pho was the generous amount of meat they put in it. Their smoothies are decent but maybe not worth the price.

Fave place for pho! They were very nice when I told them I had a peanut allergy when I recieved my order and they made me a new one. My only complaint is that their menu should say if it will be served with peanuts.

Customer service isnt a necessity to run a restaurant but it helps. At the Pho Spot they dont care about customer service; honestly its fine by me as long as the food is good. That being said they gave us the wrong order and when we came back to get the correct order we were told its not my fault she said p1 essentially saying we were lying and acting like were causing her trouble (ironic). Reluctantly she agreed to cook what we actually ordered and PUT THE WRONG ORDER BACK ON THE LINE TO BE SERVED TO SOMEONE ELSE (which we brought home and touched). Instead of telling who I assume was the owner (couldnt imagine an employee treating customers this way) how poorly I felt I was treated, I left hoping to see a for lease sign the next time I drive by; hopefully this review helps with that! I dont usually write reviews unless it really matters to me, and until now Ive only written good reviews. I work full time as a server and I feel that people like the lady that served me tonight put a bad light on what I do for a living. Do yourself and the Lonsdale community a favor and spend your money on any other Pho restaurant in the city. P.S. the food is 2/5 at most.

Went to Pho Spot with a friend. We asked if we can substitute fried roll for vegetarian spring roll (we wouldnt have minded to pay the difference) but they refused. After some thought we decided not to stay so we decided to leave. They had provided us with water and because we had already take a sip from our cup they wanted us to PAY FOR TAP WATER!!! We said no and they called us cheap! Outrageous, never going there again. Just walked out.

Nothing particularly bad about this place, but nothing particularly outstanding enough to give it a 4. Its probably more like a 3.5 star.

One of my go-to Pho places, because they are open later than other Vietnamese restaurants on the North Shore, and usually, my pho craving hits me at half past 10. Pho spot is always there to scratch that late night itch! I would give a higher rating, but sometimes they skimp out on the Basil, which is my favourite part.

Decent for sure! Better To eat in house, if taking out, try to get to it quick otherwise the noodles get all weird and make it odd to eat. Good price, nice staff.

Great food. Good service. And a great value!!

Great place for a quick meal, staff is friendly and quick.

Ooh did you want bubble tea, because theres a sign out front saying theres bubble tea? Technically theres no bubble tea, so yeah thats just false advertisement right there. But they have drinks made like bubble tea with flavour powders, and with jellies. Pho is ok... The lady isnt rude, its just that shes brusque...

Great food, great portion sizes, great service, open late - 5/5 Everytime. I suggest the rare beef noodle soup or the lemon grass chicken!

- Bad service. The lady was very rude. - over price. - Do not recommended.

the bun bo hue and pho is my fav :)

The worst experience ever !! The lady in the cashier was behaving as if we were some hungry stray dogs looking for some bones leftovers ...wouldnt even listen to the order we wanted to place properly ..highly unrefined , rude ,crude and obnoxious behaviour I have ever seen in a human being , if at all she qualifies as one ! ...Never even going anywhere near this filth which surprisingly is still called a restaurant ! I would call it Vietnamese torture chamber ...Go at your own risk !!! .. But the food I should say was fantastically filthy !

They have great food BUT overpriced with small portions and the Lady was totally rude. I do not recommend this restaurant. Ive been here 3 times and the lady never changed her attitude that shes giving us. Eating here is uncomfortable, not because of the place but because shes saying something that we cant understand while looking at me/us.

The rare beef noodle soup and the spring rool were very tasty! Very good. But the lady was very rude...seemingly everything bothered her...I have to think twice Ill come back or not cuz I dont like this kind of attitude...but the soup was really good... I have been there 4 times since my last comment. The food was always very good and the ladys attitude definitely improved. I tried pho at other places...but so far I have the impression this is the place to go for the best pho and spring roll in North Van.
