Solar Pho in Port Coquitlam

Quick random stop during a day trip to poco! Delicious food and great service! Definitely go back and recommend if you like pho, ribs and lemongrass chicken.

Perfect bowl of pho!! food here is delicious!!

The pho with rare steak and beef balls was delicious. One of the best bowls of pho I ve had. Service was great too!

Absolutely love this place!!! Great food, great customer service.

The best Pho in Coquitlam! Love the staff and the owner ir super attentive Food

Small portion. Order a 2 large pho. Looked more like a small.

Amazing pho! The soup size L they mean it LARGE. Place is amazing and clean. Recommended to visit and try

This is my first visit to Solar Pho. I always look at reviews on Google Maps and wonder if this restaurant is good, but this is definitely a pho restaurant. The portion is generous and the soup is thick.

This is my new go to! Soup was one of the bests I ve had!

The people who own and work here are so incredibly nice. Genuinely happy. The food is so delicious and I love the variety of hand made salad rolls, so much to choose from. Highly recommend Solar Pho. Food : 5/5

I have only had takeout but the people here are so nice and welcoming.

Good food, good service

Perfect and authentic Pho! Especially the coffee with condensed milk tastes so great! I really recommend this place!

Expensive. 3 dollars more for pho And 3$ more for Banh MI

The guy working at the front was super sweet! He provided me with the discount they had that day was overall very nice. The food was delicious and under 10 dollars. It took less than 10 minutes to make <3

Update Mar 25/24: still 5 stars!. We all had different Pho soups and all very delicious. great friendly service. Below: this is based on the previous owners when it was called Pho Huy. I cant yet comment on new owners & menu. Weve been regulars going for over 15 yrs. Been over a hundred times as its our fave local Vietnamese restaurant. They are so friendly and always a genuine smile and interested in us.. they already know our favourite meal choices of course. And well keep coming back as long as they are open.

Would not recommend this Solar HPO s place. In March 9th 2024 lunch time I ordered a Vegan s Noodle. I was so disappointing when I ate tofu & slices of carrot with this Vegan soup, tofu had sour taste ; carrot was turn brown. I noticed that tofu and carrot were turn badly but they still service to customers. I strongly recommend not to eat this place.

Newly opened place Lemongrass chicken pho+spring rolls+Grilled beef ribs. Really tasty and good service. Food

Amazing.

Food was awesome! I had the V3 Chicken with egg roll. Service was courteous and food was served quickly. I was so impressed with the presentation as well. I was so excited to try the food that I forgot to take a picture. I will definitely come back!

Good place to go.

We were regulars to the previous Pho Huy at this location and wanted to try the new ownership. They were still having a grand opening 15% off special. The Bun Bo Hue was delicious (better than before). The Cold Cut Banh Mi was well below average and only came as a combo with a can of pop for over $11.50! Although the staff were very friendly, they seemed to be very inexperienced. We overheard several other tables not getting items and/or getting wrong orders. Staff didn t come around with more tea unless you specifically asked for it. Hopefully these are just growing pains and service will improve but for now, we look elsewhere.

Went into the restaurant thinking itll be a good experience. When we sat down, two table sat down after us and got their order and food in before the server logged in our food. If we were the same race as the employees than maybe we could of gotten our order in just like them. Would not recommend this place.

Very nice place the service was great! And the pho was amazing, the broth was so good. I highly recommend.

Great food with even better service! I highly recommend this place - you ll thank me later! I have been a long time client of Solar Nail in Coquitlam and wanted to support and try their Pho restaurant as soon as I could. My friend and I went for the first time and we ordered: hot & sour soup, wonton soup, salad roll and spring roll. All the food items were extremely fresh and the broth was soooo delicious! I have never had such a delicious tasting wonton! 10/10 everything! We found our new favourite Pho place! Kelly and her husband are very sweet and always offer outstanding service with whatever they put their hands on. Will definitely be back!

I ordered the wonton soup and it was the best wonton soup I ve ever had. It was so fresh and tasted amazing. The restaurant was so clean and the customer service was also amazing. 10/10 would recommend. I ve been to a lot of pho restaurants and this one is my favourite one by far!! Definitely will be coming back.

Everything was good

Amazingly delicious food, great friendly service, cool atmosphere. 5-stars ALL around. Cant wait to come back!!

newly renovated spot with good pho and welcoming warm staff

the food is fully loaded and the taste is totally good...i highly recomend this place.

Very good!!! Defentetly try. I love House Special Pho and spring rolls. I love it so much

It went out of business. Solar Pho. A new store has opened.

Excellent pho soup! We have tried all in the area and beyond this is our go-to.

I m very picky about where I eat and this place is my go-to for Pho. Family run business and they make us feel welcomed every time we visit. Love the soup and my favourite is the Spring Rolls, my daughter loves the vegetarian option of the fried tofu pho. She s not a vegetarian but loves the soup so much that s her go-to. Pricing is all very reasonable and I walk out completely satisfied each and every time.

Food was good and wasnt too expensive, 1 small and 1 large pho, 7 chicken wings and 3 rolls cost about $63, so about $15 per dish. Restaurant is a bit small but wasnt full or noisy around 6pm on a Friday.

Food was great. Service was mediocre.

I suggest Pork & Shrimp vermicelli It was good :)

Its a local taste of Vietnam. Its delicious. I like bean sprouts, so I added a lot of them, squeezed in some lemon juice, and mixed them well. I dont know if the leaves on the thick stem you see there are cilantro, but I soaked them in the soup and set them aside before eating them. There was spicy sauce on the side, so I dipped the meat into it, wrapped it in noodles, mixed it with the soup, and ate it anyway. It was delicious.

I would recommend getting a chicken pho!

We went there for the first time while travelling through town. Amazing food and service! We had the chicken pho with and without meatballs and a vermicelli bowl with grilled chicken. All of it was divine! So quick and clean and delish.

Great staff, awesome food,drcent price. Great place to eat.

Best Vietnamese food! I will be missing them as the restaurant will be changing the ownership. All the best to you! Parking: Near to our work place.

So far my number 1 choice for dine in and take out place for beef pho in Coquitlam. Always love their homemade chilies oil paired with pho and eat together. Good service. Another reason was I won t felt so thirsty after the meal compared other pho restaurants.

Been coming here for years and their soups are delicious, taste natural, awesome toppings selection, and staff is friendly. They have thick accents so pay close attention but the Chicken Pho is my favourite and always makes a bad day great!

Excellent Banh mi sandwiches

Great subs! Lemon grass chicken and tofu vegetarian have great flavor and are pretty big in size.

I had the grilled sate beef and spring roll vermicelli dish here. Portion size and flavor were great. Price was reasonable for how much they gave you. Staff were more friendly compared to other larger Pho restaurants. I would definitely come back to try their pho.

One of the most delicious and authentic pho place ever. It s absolutely clean and healthy flavourful broth, tender meat.

Not sure why it s a good pho restaurant. Soup base is very so so. Very slow service and i guess it s because it runs by retired family. They just want a place to kill time.

I understand culture differences, I appreciate and respect other cultures food. I have been in so many restaurants in my life. I also understand the true meaning of customer service. I visited this restaurant many time in different time, the owner gets angry at you when you ask for anything extra like couple of lemon wedges or foe cilantro or complain about something wrong with the order. be prepared to not ask for to much and they do not like it when you complain.

My favorite pho location in all of Vancouver area. Having lived and eaten Vietnamese cuisine in Vietnam as well as cities that have large Vietnamese community (I. E Edmonton) this place is very close in authenticity. Staff are friendly and and the ambience is average.

One of the best places for pho in tri cities. Try it out you won t regret it

Excellent food and service!

I dont understand why the reviews are high. I went to a lot of pho restaurants and compared to other restaurants it wasnt good. The food wasnt great compared to the price and the fry rolls were very thin. They were rude and looked like they didnt want to be there. I dont think Ill ever come again.

Best pho in Coquitlam center area

Excellent service. I loved the soup I had. Amazingly tasty and piping hot. All ingriedients were fresh and high quality.

We really like this place, although a bit pricey

First of all, A Large pho here could be a small size one at many other places. Price is also expensive over $16. Noodles did not taste fresh at all and it was kinds of mushy and meat portion was very countably small. The place itself was not clean if you had a chance to see them clean other tables. When you ordered some more cilantro, they brought one with stem!! it should be chopped to put it in a noodle soup. And I found tiny some kinds of transparent thread in my pho. I was worried about it, but no one was available to tell and I just took those portion out. Its no match to Unphogetabowl or Pho Net viet nearby. Even Delicious Pho or Pho99 in the area offer much...much better bowls with same or lower price. I do not think this is a authentic Vietnamese restaurant as well. Sorry, I would never come here again.

I spent my time in last three months testing see food bowls at several Pho restaurants. I would admit one of the best ever see food bowls Ive tastes was here. That gave me real feeling of having a good meal. Thanks for your quality foods.

I have been here before, great service great food reasonable prices I highly recommend this location.

Best pho in town Try 45a

Doesnt take order

One of the best pho restaurants in the area. Rich but balanced broth. Reasonable pricing and friendly owners. Was great pre covid and theyre still very good during covid.

Been coming here for about 10 years now. Best broth ever compare to new Pho restaurant. We keep on coming back. It is a family business and now their kids are helping and it is newly renovated.

Lately renovated and always tasty.

Awesome food awesome service

The Very Best Vietnamese food in Coquitlam and Always with a Smile !!!

I came here a couple times for their Pho Bo Hue and really enjoyed it. The flavour is good and the portions are large. Service was quick both times as well!

ive been going to this pho restaurant forever! and it has always been and always will be my favorite Pho restaurant! I cannot recommend them enough :)

It has been our restaurant for years, good food and excelente service

Great Pho

Kids meal was small portion and not even for kids. My 1.5yrs old son was not enough though

Nice place for some hot Pho!! Nice vegetarian choice and always make me return.

First time here. Great food. Great service. Would 100% recommend Super delicious Thank you guys!

Hidden gem. I personally love this little restaurant. beef stew is to die for!!! I will drive anywhere just to get pho here.

This is it. This is the best Pho place Ive found! The portions are large, as youd expect, but the taste, fragrance, and presentation is above even my high standards. And the abundance of real chicken was a big surprise. Dont let this hole in the wall eaterie pass you by. Now I want to take my friends there! Plus, the service was very fast, efficient, friendly, and non rushed. Complimentary tea and lots of free parking! I cant wait to go back! Thank you Pho Huy!! #bestpho #coquitlampho #pocopho #feefiphofum

Although my wife liked it I dont. We had bowls of pho.

Good food and service

Delicious food and good service

Was ok slow service

Great selection on the Menu and quick service

Really friendly staff and good food, will be back.

Good broth but not the best around. Clean and friendly.

Great broth. Quick service. Solid noodles.

This is hands down the best Vietnamese restaurant in Coquitlam! If you go, try the Papaya Salad with Beef Satay. You can t find this anywhere. My kids love it, I love it. Satisfied every time!

Fast. Efficient. German. Maybe not German. But very good. Thank you

Had the hue spicy beef rice noodle soup. It was delicious

Fast service and delicious.

Best vietnamese restaurant in my opinion

Probably the worst pho I have ever had I ordered veggie so I never expect much the noodles for the huge thick Thai noodles not the nice little faux ones the broth was almost unedible.. I ordered skip from this place as it was $2 less than unphogetabowl.... I will never make that mistake again.

1) Good pho 2) Clean place 3) Use of ceramic bowls/plates and spoons for hot hot food (as opposed to melamine materials) Update on Agu 26, 2020 - Open for dine in. Customers are asked to use hand sanitizer before being seated. :) I wish the delivery/pick up people do the same too.

The food was good and was very clean . My friend is a chef and she commented on the clean kitchen

Best ramen around

Expensive at $11 for a large bowl, compared to other pho locations. Meat portion isnt proportional to what I paid for. Broth is decent. Not sure why everyone is rating it so highly.

Here is a Family owned and operated establishment, Very nice people that also work there. We come here multiple times a month, recommended for sure!

Really good food, liked that the place didn t feel fast-food-y. They brought us a bowl so we could share with our kid. Will definitely go again. Yum.

Didnt like their broth

Tasty green papaya grilled chicken salad.

average pho place, nice service though. pho 99 tastes better.

Spicy Pho Restaurant

Best pho in Coquitlam

Great pho

#31 with regular size $11 . Place is cleaning and bright. Special note : accept cash or debit payment only . If More than $20 can go Credit card .. not convenient.

Price is up and portion is smaller. In the past, I would come here once a week. Now I rarely come. They used to provide really big bowl of noodle with good portion of meats. Now the small bowl and large bowl are about the same size, only a 4-5 slice of small scrap meat, 1/4 of 1 whole beef bball.The amount of bean sprout is less. The taste of soup is the same.

Best chicken Pho in the Lower Mainland

The best broken rice in town . And good parking

Very good food

Good Pho at this place

Excellent food and service. Accommodated my 2 year old very well. The Pho is fantastic but the chicken on rice is my favourite :)

Good

Good customer service and friendly , food was good and decently priced

not bad. but the meat is very hard for me to chew.

Great authentic pho. First time here today and ordered a Pho Bo Hue (my benchmarking bowl of noodles cuz I like it spicy and filled with flavors). Was impressed by two things, the noodles didnt taste like they came straight out of a plastic bag, and two, the beef brisket was more tender than youd find it at other pho restaurants. Nothing to complain about on their Hue broth. Will be back to try their stock pho dac biet (another benchmarking bowl). Price is Right. Service very attentive. Decor and cleanliness is above par.

This is a local restaurant with a rich taste of beef broth.

[2.5] Service is good, but in your face. Large size bowl is same as regular anywhere else. Amount of meat is not as much and broth is so-so. Its a nice place but Ive had better.

Best pho around hands down. All their meals are excellent. Cant go wrong

Always good Pho

Very quick service

Delish! Perfect bowl of pho! Staff are super friendly and on point! Our order came out very quickly. Broth was great. I found that there wasnt as much meat as the other pho places...but the meat I did have was lean and perfectly cooked! Lots of sprouts and lime which I love! I would definitely recommend this little restaurant and will be back!

10/10 taste just like vietnam

We order beef stew noodle soup and special noodle soup. Both are beef noodle soup, but in the different cook way. I like the special noodle soup more, since the beef is more tender than beef stew. Both broth and noodle are good. I will definitely come back again to try another dishes.

The beef pho soup is good, you can taste the fresh and sweet beef taste.

My favourite Vietnamese Restaurant in town!

Usual pho experience

Good Pho, fast delivery to the table.

This place is a hidden gem. Best pho soup we have tried and trust me we have tried many. It is my 3 year olds favorite restaurant. Portions are good size and soups are a consistent flavour journey. Place is not the most beautiful restaurant, but for a casual dinner cant go wrong. Lovely family runs the place.

We went there and paid $27.** before tips. Why we did not receive a free soft drink??? Food was not bad.

A real pho gives you a good feeling.

I wasnt very impressed with their house special.

Taste great. Right price. Friendly environment. Clean.

Tasty meal, fresh food, fast service. Better Pho than near Coquitlam city Centre. Yum!

Super yummy pho at a great day price!

A typical Vietnamese restaurant with dishes typical of this type of places. Of course, very large portions and very decent prices. Very polite and nice service. I wont comment on the taste, because this cuisine is not my cup of tea, so I may be biased. I have no reservations whatsoever about the quality of the products, but as I mentioned earlier, these flavors do not appeal to me...

Amazing Brisket and Noodle.

The quality of the meat is good and the portion size is adequate. The soup broth is can be more flavorful. Price is a little bit more expensive than Vancouver prices.

One of best vietnam food place

Damn good pho with helpful staff

Pho wasnt bad at all. At $10 for the regular bowl and $10.75 for the large one it seems a bit overpriced if you compare to Vancouver, altough pho in Coquitlam and Poco seems to be a little more expensive than Vancouver, so its fine. What I disliked about this place is the rudeness of their staff, and it wasnt really busy at the time (the cashier boy was the only nice person I came across), you get treated like they are doing you a favor, no manners at all, no welcoming or thanking you, no willingness to answering your questions about the menu, as another reviewer mentioned before, this kind of treatment reminded me that Seinfields Soup Nazi episode while this soup isnt worth it at all.

I have been eating there for few years. It was a hang out place for me and my friends. Service is alway been bad but the pho was used to be really good. Recently it seems there was a change in soup base. Their pho is now going down the drain for me. I just go to their next door to get pizza now.

Really nice, I went 5 minuets before closing and they still accepted my take out! So kind and so good everything. I ll be back

Our go to for chicken pho! Lovely staff. They will remember you!

Great pho. Worth a visit. Their fried spring rolls with sweet chili sauce are also very good. My wife gets the vegetarian pho and she really likes it as well.

love this place, must try their bum bho hue

Great food, great service, and good prices! Straightforward with minimal frills - its our go-to for local Vietnamese food. The grilled meats with rice are fantastic!

This place was good place but not anymore.

Good food friendly service

The best broth Ive ever had! Its super clean and flavorful. The chicken pho is my favorite. Friendly service, they remember your orders & the food is well priced with lots of options on the menu.

We go as often as we can food is always served with fresh ingredients and tastes delicious.

Best Pho in the Tri-City area! Family owned and run; fast service (I often stop in for a quick lunch on those cold, rainy days!). I give it 4 stars because theyve always had a bit of a ventilation system problem, so after eating in youre left with a bit of a Pho smell on your clothes. Food is worth it though!

Nice family Rin restaurant. Nice food and nice people.

Excellent

Good prices, not much of a wait. Very tasteful food, the spring rolls are amazing.

One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in the tri cities area.

Service was so poor we walked. I asked to be served after waiting 10 mins for service was ignored then left. Ill keep going to pho sen.
