Pho Bat Trang in St. Catharines

I love this place for their big portions yet fair price. The first time I visited, I was severely underwhelmed. However this has become one of my favourites in the city.

Our new favorite soup restaurant! We ve been to several places between Hamilton to Niagara and the flavors here are so bright and fresh, perfectly balanced. We are only coming here from now on!

What a find! Great pho. Awesomeness

Awesome pho, generous serving of thai basil served up in the friendliest way. Thanks Hong!

The food was delicious! I really enjoyed the Tom Yum soup with shrimp, good and spicy! The service was amazing.

Amazing food very friendly staff

Ive tried more than 10 Pho restaurants in Niagara region, and this is the best ever. Definitely wanna go back with all of my friends!!

Clean and fresh pho. Beef is the best quality I had in pho restaurants in st cat. I also love how bright and spotless the place is. And the owner! He has contagious big laughs! The beef pho is delicious, and the service is full of details. For example, when iced drinks are served, the cups are all iced. The boss is super funny and has a loud voice. Every time I come here to eat, I feel happy

Ordered Vietnamese ice coffee. It lacked the authentic flavor and ingredients. However, service was great.

Great food with excellent presentation. The hot silverware and personable staff were very enjoyable. The food was very flavorful and filling. Hong was very attentive and ensured we had everything we needed and plenty of water in the chilled glasses. Fantastic experience.

Fantastic!

Amazing food!! Try the homemade hot sauce its so yummy and spicy.

We come to St Catharines every other month. Our family decided to try this place and we were not disappointed. The service and details were like a 5 star restaurant. The spring rolls are made with love. The beef and chicken soup was delicious and the broth. Wow!! My children love everything about this place and we will be repeated loyal customers every trip to St. Catherines

If you want fresh ingredients, made to order, real authentic Thai & Vietnamese food, this is the place to eat! Our favourites: Tum Yum soup and goat & tendons soup. My husband is Lao and we travel a lot; their spring rolls are the best we have ever had!

Incredible service and tasty food

Amazing food and owners highly recommend giving this place a try if you haven t already.

Had Pho twice here for dinner during my short stay in St Catherine s, it was excellent!! Thank you Hong for your great food

Had a wonderful lunch here today. It was our first time coming to this establishment. Thank-you Hong to you and your employees. We had a wonderful time and will be back again soon. Thank-you for your wonderful hospitality.

went in at 2pm on a Saturday. there was 3 tables seated for a total of 8 people in the restaurant. I was alone. I placed my order of ONE item. a bowl of pho. a few minutes later the chef came out of the kitchen and said, sorry but its going to be 40 minutes for your order because no one here has yet to be served, as he points at each of the three tables. everyone now was quiet and watching. are you serious? what is this, amateur hour? clearly this place is in way way way over their heads. I just got up and left and went across the street and had souvlaki. if you come here in 3 months and look for this pho place you will look at boarded up windows and an empty storefront. guaranteed.

Had a lovely meal here. Great food and great service.

Best Pho I have ever tried. I m with my mom tried this pho today and the owner was so nice. Food was amazing compared with the other Pho. I even ordered a take out after I done my meal. Thanks for the serving!!! If I go to there again I would like to try more dishes.

Stepped in the restaurant shortly after 7 pm, a big guy welcomed us warmly and prepared the table for two of us. We didnt know the restaurant closed at seven at that time and the only server is the owner. The guy was very busy and shuffling between the customer and the kitchen . However he kept talking to the people and trying to make fun.He enjoyed serving the customers. It took a while our orders came. Its totally astonishing that the food prepared are seriously like mother care for her children. We cant find this homemade vitmanese food elsewhere that the best pho and vermicelli I ever have. The owner Hong warmly introduced his wife Kathy ,the cook in kitchen and shared their business experience. We are amazed that they prepared the food for customers like family. They are wonderful couples and work as a great team. I would like to appreciate their remarkable service and gourmet food. We enjoyed a wonderful night . Highly recommended without doubt

Food was so delicious and fresh with delectable flavors! Owner and his wife are so amazing and accommodating. Also, nice atmosphere and very clean. Food : 5/5

Excellent!!

Great delicious Pho I really enjoyed the pork spring rolls

HANDS DOWN THE BEST SERVICE !!! The food was great . Owner was very friendly and welcoming .

Good food, good service, great people.

Visiting from Montreal where we often enjoy Vietnamese restaurants. This was simply the best Vietnamese we ever ate. Thank you so much, it s on our must-go list for our next trip.

The dishes are simply excellent and the service impeccable. A little gem hidden so well!

Excellent food & service!

Ordered the pho and the broth is amazing!

Was feeling under the weather and needed some Pho. The staff were friendly, accommodating. And very interactive (in a good way) with the customers. The food was fresh hot and very flavorful. Will definitely be coming back to try more of the menu.

Great food, fresh and so tasty.

Fantastic food great couple! Eating here is a must! Malcolm and Catherine from Scotland (Anie and Si s friend) Food : 5/5

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The owner has a good sense of humor and is caring. Although the wait time was a bit long, it was still worth the visit. While I am a pho lover (and I stand by the pho served here as well), I will say that the Green Curry Thai Sauce Stir Fried Chicken W/ Rice took the big win here today. Shout-out to the owner for their family recipe~ We got the Deep Fried Pork Spring Rolls to go... and I must tell you, these are not your run-of-the-mill rolls. 5 giant, juicy, delicious rolls that is a full meal on its own! I ate 3 and my partner ate 2 on our drive home and skipped dinner with how filling they were. Definitely will hit them up again if I drive back south.

Really soft!

Omg the best! The Tom yum broth was amazing! The gentleman who was working was super friendly! I m going back this weekend!

Had yet another great experience at Pho Bat Trang! The owner is so kind and looks after his customers well. The food is delicious - the spring rolls are a must! We will definitely be back and recommend you give it a try

One of the best pork and Thai I have ever had

If you re all about the food this is amazing! I can t believe we only found this place now. The husband, Hong, and wife, Kathy, have been here 7 years and have carved out loyal patrons along with a menu that has great variety. They were willing to make some subtle requests changes to my meal and everything was prepared very well. Give it a try, I m sure you ll like it.

Had P3, rare beef and beef ball Pho. Amazingly delicious! Ill be back for sure!

We stopped by Pho Bat Trang for a quick dinner on our way back to NYC and let me tell you, the food was like nothing we ever had before! My wife had the pork chop over rice with egg and I got the House Vietnamese Beef Noodle soup. The soup was the best Ive ever had, it has a zing taste coupled with different varieties of fresh sliced beef, tripe and beef balls. Every spoon was sooooo enjoyable and it kept getting better, down to the last drop of broth!!!! The pork chop, was not your ordinary piece found in other Vietnamese restaurant. The pork chop had a Thai twist that was flavorful and cooked perfectly -juicy & tender coupled with the scramble eggs in the rice, that easily made it the best pork chop over rice weve ever had. (My wife cant get over how well and perfectly the eggs were cooked lol) Everything was made with care and passion And I would consider this a Home Cook meal! We also got the pleasure to meet the owner/chef- wonderful gentleman who treated us like we were the only customer even when they were short staffed, took time out of his busy day to make us feel like family! THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL FOOD AND EXPERIENCE!

Soup, atmosphere and service was way beyond 5 star. Must try pho place.

The food was very delicious, big portions and served fresh and hot. Service was excellent, the owner is very friendly and always accommodating. Ambiance is nice! we get to watch while waiting! we always go here to eat. Highly recommended place to eat!

On a whim, we tried this place as we love Pho. Best decision ever. We found our new favourite Pho spot!! The broth - absolutely delicious. My mom said, Best shes ever had! I agree. We also had the fresh shrimp rolls with peanut sauce. Comes with 4 large rolls! And the service!! Wow! I cant say enough. I dont know his name, but hes the owner, and hes fabulous! So welcoming, friendly, and cheerful. You will not regret going. Kid-friendliness: Big tables for families and highchairs available. Wheelchair accessibility: Street level.

Best Pho in the city!

Best lemongrass pork Ive had in years, wish I lived close enough to go back.

Chef/owner is great! Really polite and excellent service. Food is delicious. If you like hot sauce, he makes it himself, and it s awesome!

Great freshly made food and wonderful service

This is our new go-to Pho spot. The owner is so kind and welcoming, and the food is always very fresh and delicious.

This was a great dinning experience. The owner guided us through excellent menu choices. The service was excellent and the food was fresh and so flavourful. Highly recommend the salad rolls, spring rolls and the grilled meat with rice! Our kids thought this was exceptional. We ll be back. Kid-friendliness: The owner was so helpful with our kids. Guided them.

Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere, with generous portions. Broth was very clean and hearty. Meat cuts were great and thinly sliced. The gentleman that served us treated his customers like friends, very welcoming and pleasant.

Had a great experience! Was greeted as soon as we walked in and was provided amazing service. The food came out hot and fresh! My bf really enjoyed the pork chop and rice dish. The owner was very kind and was working hard.

This family run business makes the best Asian food in Niagara. I highly recommend any items from their menu. You will not be disappointed.

Very good food, friendly owner. You can tell he is passionate about making the best Pho possible. Great experience. - Kyle & Carmelita

I thought to myself no way there s a 5 star Pho place in St Catherine s. I was wrong. This place deserves more stars. As a Vietnamese person, this is better than my mom s home made stuff. This is now my go to. Drive 30 min is well worth it.

Excellent lemongrass pork, the best in Niagara region. Food was amazing, the owner so friendly.

Amazing food, great portions, staff are super personable. Lots of nice touches. Slightly more expensive than other pho restaurants but worth it.

This is a cute and cozy spot! Best Pho Ive ever had, it was a warm hug from the inside. Amazing service , i will be back with the hole family. Food : 5/5

Good customer service,Amazing food, very friendly staff

Amazing food and service. My favorite Pho restaurant in St. Catherines by far. The portions are generous and delicious!

I don t know what is better the food or the service! AMAZING!

We came in 30 minutes before closing with two tired children and were warmly greeted with delicious food and VERY generous portions. Not only was the food and service excellent, there was such a happy family atmosphere with friends and family stopping in for conversation and jokes. After learning that we were continuing on our long road trip the owner gave us two water bottles for the road. The gesture was heart warming and we left with our hearts and tummy full and happy.

Seriously the Best Pho and fresh beef rolls around!! So flavourful, everything here is mouth watering!! Definitely worth a try!! Food

Exceptional food and service. A refreshing place that I recommend to try in St.Catharines.

First time eating here and by far the best pho in the region, the broth was so flavourful and arromatic, the ingredients all fresh and the service was phenominal, the owner was so nice. Cant wait to go back, definititly my new favorite spot for Vietnamese!

Delicious food, great portions, friendly staff, excellent spot! I had the Pad Thai chicken was very delicious. The pork spring rolls were really great portion and delicious as well. Everyone else with me had great soups great portions! Highly recommend

Always pleasant service. Fast even when theyre busy, and the food never disappoints. Very delicious, highly recommend here.

amazing food and service julius Food

Fantastic little hideaway. Great service, great food, what more can you ask. Will definitely return.

I work next to the restaurant and the service here is unbelievably amazing! Hong is the man and will take care of you! The food is amazing and the coffee is even better! Food

Words cant describe how amazing the food was!! I wish I had a bigger stomach to have more. The broth was delicious in the pho but hands down the best chicken fresh rolls Ive ever had!! Wish I lived closer so I could eat here all the time.

The best Pho in Niagara region!

We had the pleasure of eating a family dinner here and would absolutely come back. The man who served us was so kind and lovely and doted on each customer like they were a friend. The Tom Yum beef was tasty too!

5 star food and service. Great people and friendly staff.

When I tell you this is the best food I have ever taste- I can t even believe it myself. It worths every single minute waiting. Favor is 10/10, probably the best Asian food I have tasted in the whole Niagara region. My first time here and I m sure there will be many other time.

Barnie makes the best pho in canada. Get the house pho, thank me later.

We enjoyed the food and service. The owner is really nice

Wonderful meal, had grilled beaf, pork, chicken with spring rolls on vermicelli wit peanut sauce (mild) Amazing loose leaf hot tea.

Incredible authentic Vietnamese and Thai cuisine. A must try!

Wonderful, the owner was friendly and the food tasted delicious! Bathroom was also very clean!

Best rare beef noodle soup in the city

Couldnt fault the food, best Pho Ive had. The owner was really welcoming too. Prices were fair but Ive seen theyve had to increase quite significantly over recent times - Id be tempted to visit more often if they were a couple of $ cheaper. The wonton soup was great but again, slightly expensive.

We had an incredible night at this restaurant. Not only is the food amazing!!! But the owners were extremely friendly and welcoming. I really recommend this place! My favourite restaurant in st.cath

Very good taste! Two thumbs up!!!

Food here is incredible. The service is excellent, Hong is a great host. Its difficult to explain it, it needs to be experienced. Fantastic place for delicious food, cant wait to drop by again. Food

If I can give them 6 stars I would! Honestly I never write reviews but for them I feel obligated to. I came in when the owners are just having their dinner, clearly they were about to close up. Not only did they accommodate us, but I have never felt so welcome! The food was amazing, better than most in GTA. I will be returning when I m in the area 100%.

Well I must say, my wife and I have had many of phò in our lives and this little gem blew us away. It was the best weve had hands down, so fresh and the flavour ohh Mann. Will definitely be coming back here again. Thank you guys for our amazing dinner. Joe.

Hong and Cathy are amazing people and treat everyone with kindness. Their food is fantastic, and always tastes great at home or in their store. Great spot to bring friends and family.

Incredible food and service! Loved the rare beef pho (maybe the best Ive ever had) and hot chili oil that the owner makes. I will definitely be back soon. Thank you!

Excellent food and service here always, wont go anywhere else for pho. Wonderful helpful staff

Tasty food and wonderful staff as always, the best pho in the area Parking: Free parking

The absolute best Thai/Vietnamese food anywhere in the Niagara area, and quite possibly everywhere!!! Huong is the most gracious host, impeccably clean restaurant,, the freshest food!! Fantastic!!

We stopped in for a bite last weekend. Very clean place with friendly accommodating owners and the food was awesome!

Excellent pho as always, helpful friendly staff. The best pho in st catharines

Good service, good food, fair price.

From the moment you walk in Hong instantly greets you with a welcoming smile. If youre unsure of what to order, trust whatever he recommends. Each dish was just as good as the last and the house special pho had very generous chunks of tendon and cartilage along with a very flavorful but not oversalty broth. Be sure to ask for the homemade chili oil! Will definitely return!

Best pho Ive had. You can taste the quality ingredients and attention to cooking.

Amazing and authentic food plus awesome owner! So glad to have found this little gem and we are planning to try their vegetarian options next time . It will be one of our new favourite local go-to for sure. Highly recommended!

The food was excellent, and great value. Best Pho Ive ever had. The service was prompt and friendly.

Fantastic. I have been to a number of Vietnamese restaurants in Hamilton, Mississauga, Milton and Toronto and this place blows them away. The owner is so accommodating. I kept getting a busy signal and VM and he called me back without me leaving a message. The Tom Yum was the best I have had. Spring rolls were big and so tasty. The Shrimp in roe sauce was excellent and the beef fried rice was outstanding. I will definitely come back whenever I get back to St. Catherines. Wish I lived closer.

I did not have the best experience at Pho Bat Trang. The restaurant is small and crowded with furniture and decorations that are not being used in corners of the room. The seats are extremely uncomfortable and uneven. They re wooden benches with a little pad on them that rock back and forth from uneven legs. I ordered a medium rare beef pho. The prices are fair but there is no small size?After ordering we were brought water and two cups. My dirty cup had stuff on the inside that I picked off. Our food didn t take long to come to the table, but our utensils did. We waited for about 5 minutes with food in front of us until they dropped off some utensils in a hot bowl of water. I ordered their rare beef pho, a classic, and it was tasteless and boring. Also, I understand it s your business but maybe cover up a little more during the day when kids are around? The owner looked like she was ready to work at a go-go club with some flashy, revealing clothes on. Respectfully, I will not be returning.

Excellent Vietnamese flavours and great service. Fair sized portions.

Great food and better service. A place to go.

Outstanding service and food!!

Next level Pho at Bat Trang. I was really impressed with the service, presentation and flavors of my dishes today. Hong (owner) is really elevating the flavor profiles of every recipe. The Vietnamese Ice coffee is rich and creamy. Excellent service, everything was presented in a clean and organized manner. I look forward to returning soon.

wow the best

The manager is the best. Always love coming here for food. Its the most affordable out of all the pho restaurants. See updated menu.

I have been Vietnam many time, I will say the pho at this place is very good !

The best Thai curry I ve ever had. I love the service. They are very kind and clean. My curry doesn t have strong smell. It is special Thai curry.

The BEST PHO Ive ever had. The beef broth was very rich and flavorful. And a lot of meat, noodle and vegetables. Also, this place is kept very clean. All the staff here are very kind and pleasant, that makes me happy. This place is a happy place~

An absolutely authentic cracker! Definitely visit. The owner is super friendly and funny.

Amazing staff. Really good food and good portion sizes.

Excellent food here. Portion size was great. The meats were cooked perfectly with nice charring but still very juicy. I would come here again for sure.

Our fav place to go for vietnamese food!

The best Vietnamese restaurant I ever had in Ontario. The owner is SO nice and the portion of food is generous and the quality is also the best.

The 1 star isn t for the food since I can t comment on that but maybe consider putting the correct hours online so people don t drive from out of town to find out you re actually closed when it says you are open.

Took my family here to out their food. Did not disappoint. Food was excellent.

Food is vevry salty for me and my husband, especially the Beef noodles soup, it is extremely salty. However the service is great, staffs are friendly and always stop by to ask if we are good.

6/5 stars. I grew up in the GTA and this is far, far better than any Pho restaurant Ive been to. Every ingredient is fresh down to the basil. The tendon is amazing. Hong has the best customer service, enthusiasm, and attention to detail. Will come back every time I pass by St Catherines!

Excellent Food! Exceptions Service! Friendly and cozy atmosphere. I was visiting from out of town and this is by far my favourite Thai food restaurant. So good!

The service was incredible and the food was amazing. All the meals were hot and fresh, look forward to coming back here in the future.

I really recommend this Vietnamese noodles! ! It s the best soup I ve ever tasted in a dozen restaurants! The price is also very friendly, and their soup tastes better and has more ingredients than other Vietnamese noodle restaurants in the same price range. The store is very clean, and the boss and staff are also very nice. I ordered a large Vietnamese noodle and added a rice noodle, which was enough for three people. If it wasnt far away from where I live, I would love to eat there once or twice a week!

Great value and AMAZING flavour I didn t realize how many spring rolls were in the order but no complaints considering both the other viet restaurants I ve tried in St. Catharines charge almost the same for half the amount (& are not it) Will never go to another viet place except this one from now on! Still eating as I write this review lol Definitely satisfied my craving! Don t waste your time anywhere else!

Delicious food! Amazing service!5 stars is not enough. Thank you so much! Food

Drove all the way from Milton to enjoy the delicious food for the second time. Owner, wife and staff are very friendly. Would recommend to everybody, and give a try to any meal from the menu.

What a great place! Love the spicy Pho. Try P-17.

I never had such a delicious spring roll l love they put grill chicken on fried rice.

Most places go heavy on the noodle and sprinkle in some meat. This place goes heavy on both. Fantastic and friendly. 9/7 go get the house special.

This pho was terrible The broth taste like salty, bitter water. Ive never had anything this bad. The owners are very strange and awkward. The chef came out to eat in the dining room and was nöffing, grunting, snorting and blowing his nose so loudly i was completely disgusted. The prices here is higher than any other pho restaurant. The quality does not match the price and the dining experience itself is enough to keep you from returning. Luckily, MA Chinese Cuisine is just down the street and is excellent. Definitely a 0/10.

It was a terrible experience that I feel in the restaurant. Initially, the owner provided good service. Unfortunately, when he asked for my brothers comment on the food, my brother simply mentioned that the temperature was cold. The owner responded by asserting that my brother had already consumed the food and stated that he would consult the chef. He mentioned that if the chef found no issues, he would charge for the food. After taking the food to the chef for evaluation, the owner returned to our table and informed us that the chef had tasted the food and found no problems. The owner mentioned that they had locked the door as a gesture of respect. Furthermore, he emphasized the experience and expertise of the chefs, highlighting that they were hired at high salaries. He expressed discontent that we had criticized their food. Although the owner did not charge us for the item, we understandably feel quite upset. It is important to note that if you are not receptive to negative feedback, it is best not to request customers opinions on your food. We simply provided you with an honest assessment, never anticipating that you would lock the door in response.

Came here all the way from Toronto as we were visiting the falls area. One of the best pho I ve ever had and the shrimp rolls (A1) is huge! It s the size of my entire hand. Beats any restaurant I ve ever had in Toronto. The pho had so much toppings and after an entire day out, my boyfriend and I couldn t fully finish our food. You can really taste the beef flavour in the soup.

excellent

Its so good

Pho Bat Trang is just amazing owner is super kind and has such great energy not to mention the food is all fresh and worth the wait and great portions. Everywhere else makes spring rolls woth very little ingredients but they pack it with lots of meat and vegetables I cant recommend this place enough Kid-friendliness: My kids enjoyed talking to the owner he was kind and made them feel welcomed and had a great attitude

One of the best Pho around this area, excellent food and service . The beef noodle soup is tasty and full of favour, Gotta try this!

Some of the best pho I ve ever had! Very flavorful, large could feed three people if theyre not very hungry. Spring rolls were incredibly fresh and generous too. Highly recommend!

The owner is very welcoming, and the food is amazing! Best Pho in St. Catharines. Highly recommended!! :)

Best Thai food in the city!!!! I ordered the vegetarian fresh rolls with tofu and green curry with tofu. The portions are huge, I have enough for 2 or 3 meals!!!! The prices are awesome and the owners are amazing!!!! They will do anything to accommodate your request!!!! Highly recommend this place if your hungry for real authentic Thai food !!! Also plenty of free parking.....

This was our first visit, it will not be our last . The food was excellent and was well worth the price. Large portions. The Pho that I had was large enough for 2 people. Spring rolls were amazing. My wife had the Green Curry Stir Fried Shrimp with Rice It was clearly a challenging time for the restaurant, it appears they may have been short staffed but our host remained up beat and welcoming. Our total bill came out to 58.00 for two with the tip. In the time of shrinking budgets and wages not being why they were. This place is a diamond in the ruff.

I was in the area getting my car detailed and decided to stop in for lunch. The owner and staff are wonderful! Very chill atmosphere. The owner sat down and showed me how to use chopsticks properly and gave me a pr to take home to continue practicing with! The curry was the best I have ever had and so full of veggies. Wonderful flavour and they will tailor the eat to your liking. Afterwards the owner and I chatted for a bit about life. I will definitely be going back! Vegetarian options: A good amt of vegetarian options Kid-friendliness: High chair and boosters offered Wheelchair accessibility: Large Wheelchair accessible washroom; there looks to be enough room to maneuver a wheelchair around indoors.

This place is such a gem! We came in late afternoon in a Saturday and the owners were just about to close, they said a group had come in earlier and they were out of a few things. They still served us and treated us excellently. The owner is very friendly and the food was delicious.

One of our favourite restaurants to go to. Best pho I ve ever had and I go at least twice a month since going for the first time

Just when you think youve had the best Pho anywhere, then you try Pho Bat Trang and realize you have been wrong the whole time. Pho Bat Trang has to be the best Pho Ive ever had. My wife and I shared the fried veggie spring rolls, it was a very large portion. Absolutely delicious. Fresh veggies and very crispy layers of wrapper. The peanut sauce put it over the top. I had the lemongrass beef with vermicelli. Very fresh and piping hot. My wife had the chicken pad thai. Large pieces of chicken and very fresh veg. Again, piping hot. Their service was way beyond. Good job guys.

We showed up here after one of the excursions tour at Niagara Falls. I had a very tired and hungry 8 yr old and a 6 yr old that needed to use the bathroom desperately. We were greeted by the owner since they just opened for the day and it was most laidback fun experience from then on. Our friends joined us a few minutes later with their two kids so now we were a party of 8. The owner was warm, friendly, inviting. He made everyone feel comfortable and it felt like we have been there numerous times and we re regulars. He was super accommodating, my kids are still not good at chopsticks and they actually like their noodle soups cut and they just use a spoon. He had food scissors available and was so nice with all the weird requests. His lovely wife was also the sweetest lady ever and came out to say bye to us as we were leaving. I can t say enough about the food though. The beef broth was scratch made. It s a rich and full bodied broth that you know has been simmering for hours. It reminded me so much of my mom s soup broth. The papaya salad was great. It was a perfect balance of the umami and the heat from the chili peppers. Everything was made without shortcuts and it was more like comfort home cooking. Portions are huge. I got the Pho Dac Biet and it was full of the different cut of meats. The wonton soup was superb and it s served also with the same hearty broth. The restaurant is one of the cleanest establishments we have been to. He takes the utmost care to make sure everything is clean to the highest degree for his patrons. I m sad that we re heading back to Massachusetts and we can t take Pho Bat Trang with us. Hands down this is my favorite pho place. I ll just have to wait for our next Ontario trip to visit again!

Absolutely amazing flavour. Wonderful presentation. Great prices. recommend

Great service!! We will be back!

Super good! Compliments to the chef and impeccable service from Mr Hong. Its worth the detour.

My favorite Pho restaurants. I tried several dishes. They are all very tasty.

We had the shrimp spring rolls, shrimp papaya salad, and egg noodles with vegetables and chicken. Everything was very fresh, the spice level is what we expected, and the flavors were great. The staff were also very friendly. Vegetarian options: They have good tofu that you can add to any dish

My wife and I just went for dinner here. I had the chicken pad thai and she had the green curry beef and rice. Both dishes were amazing! All the ingredients were fresh and flavourful. We also had the iced milk coffee, it was yummy! They prepare the food from scratch so be prepared to wait a little. The service was great, the owner was our waiter and he was friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend and would come back for sure.

Good food, good service. Everything was perfect!

Excellent place. The food is delicious Thx Thx Miss Cathy and excellent service by the best man Hong Annick & Daniel

If youre a fan of Vietnamese cuisine, you absolutely need to try their pho.

Even though they were short staffed, the owners went above and beyond to provide great food and service. Amazing ingredients like the shrimp in the pad Thai and the lotus root and chayote squash in the veggie pho. The soup for the beef pho tasted more real than anything weve had in a long time.

Nothing more to say then top tier service, portions and atmosphere. Service: Friendly, courteous, really loves his job. Food: Big portions, great quality, good taste. Service so good that we even left a big tip. Thank you! I would come back next time I visit Niagara Dietary restrictions: Pays close attention to your orders and willing to adapt to what you need. Even suggest something good for you! Parking: Free parking, big parking and safe parking.

I wish giving no stars was an option. I stopped by this place on my way home from Orlando to order Pho to go. I waited approximately 12 minutes before someone came out and acknowledged me. I then asked if I could order chicken Pho to go, the man said they had no chicken, I proceed to look at the menu then asked for vege Pho. He said it would be 25 minutes, I asked if I could sit and wait, he then advised me they were too busy to do take out orders, they had 3 tables with customers, and a family of 5 came in the same time he told me they were busy. I asked him if I could dine in, then he said the no they were too busy. The only logical explanation to me would be that they are racist. That was such a horrible experience.

One of the best pho places Ive been to! Pho was a tiny bit too salty, but otherwise great. Spring rolls are so fresh and light. The people there are so nice with amazing attention to detail (warming up bowls and spoons!) Food

Really delicious pho soup. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I ll be returning next time I m in St. Catherines

Food was delicious (especially enjoyed the pho) and service with a smile. Owner even made special food accommodation for my picky eater which was much appreciated.

You probably wont have a great experience here unless you are Asian. We went in 1.5 hours before closing and were told they had no time to make appetizers. Tried to order a curry soup and was also told no. Settled on the house pho which was good. A few people came in to order takeout and were also turned away an hour before closing. All the attention of the server, who I assume is the owner, was on the only other table in the restaurant. Coincidentally, they were of his nationality. They seemed to have had no problem ordering appetizers. Not sure what this guys deal is but he seems a little bit too scatterbrained to be running a restaurant. Just hire a server dude and go in the back and cook. I would suggest you go at least 2-3 hours before they close if youre white or youll probably be disappointed.

Best Pho, hands up and down!! The richness of their broth cannot be matched! Service is always welcoming and excellent. Kid-friendliness: Kids beg to go!!!! Love it here

You have to come here. I m not kidding. This place is AMAZING!!! We are out-of-towners and were so happy to find this place by looking at Google review. Truthfully this was the best Vietnamese food we ever had (and trust me, we have gone to many!) To be honest the place looked like an ordinary restaurant but the food and the care of the owners were out of the world! Examples: - All the utensils came in a bowl with a boiling water to ensure that they are clean and warm - Bathroom was spotless. I mean, SPOTLESS. - When he noticed their customers trying to eat their food outside without proper bowls (the customers told them that they would eat at home. They did not even have to ask) he ran around to bring out bowls, napkins, etc. - He noticed that we liked to wrap spring rolls with leaves, he brought extra lettuce and basils, again, without being asked. - We could tell all the food was done with special love and care - from every sauce, how it s cooked, prepared to everything! He is Thai and his wife is Vietnamese. Usually we avoid going to a restaurant with multiple cuisines but this place does superbly for both! We only wish that they would come to Calgary to open this restaurant close to us. This place is a hidden GEM. If you see this review and decide to go there, today is your lucky day!

Ive never met such a witty owner! I ate pho and the soup was very delicious! Even the smallest size, M, was sufficient. My friend who lives in Canada tried the pork chop and said it was the best he had ever had because it tasted different from other restaurants! I got a little bit of it, but it tasted like grilled meat and was delicious! The owner has a muscular body, but he is a very attentive and kind person that even Japanese people were surprised by, and he is a wonderful person who is happy to satisfy his customers!

Other reviewers clearly have no idea what good pho tastes like. I know its st Catherines but being close to GTA and given the abundance of good Asian food in GTA I thought the reviews would be accurate. But no. This was probably one of the blandest pho Ive ever tasted. Even pho in Germany and Hungary were better. I had to ask for salt and 8 have a light taste bud. It also took 25 min to come.

Easily the best Pho experience Ive ever had. Excellent service. Kind and friendly owner. You can tell he really loves to cook! See you again!

I was passing by through St Catharines on my way to Niagara, and didn t want to eat touristy garbage at the falls. I accidentally fell upon this place going to Quesada for my wife. B17 Grilled Pork Vermicelli with Spring rolls was absolutely amazing. The owner even came outside, and we talked about the restaurant, quality of food and experience. I didn t get your name, but thank you for the hospitality! This is what I truly missed about Vietnam and Thailand. And thank you for the water bottle. We ll be back!

My new favourite pho spot in Niagara region. Very friendly owner and the ingredients are very fresh and you can taste it.

Recommended to everyone

EAT HERE! Flavorful and fresh. It is an absolute gem of a place to get great food from very talented chefs. Deep fried vegetable spring rolls with peanut sauce and thai chicken soup with vermicelli noodles pictured.

Best food in town, I used to eat here a lot. Recently (the past 6 or 7 times Ive tried between 5pm to 8pm) they havent been picking up their phone which has unfortunately left me with being super disappointed every time I crave it. I used to recommend it to everyone but now I dont think it would be right to do so. If its that busy, hire some help. If you can manage to get food here it is certainly worth the money, but my loyalty is no longer there. Customer service is everything these days.

Amazing place. Food was so fresh and high quality. Been to a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in the GTA this is one of the best. Didn t expect to find a place this good in St. Catherine s. WOW!

The green curry Thai chicken is so delicious.. I usually don t eat food with curry but this one made me like it now.

The best Vietnamese food in St Catharines!

Came here after a visit to Niagara Falls. This was the first time my husband and kids were trying pho and they loved it! The owner (and wife) were super friendly and accommodating to my vegetarian diet. The food was so delicious and left us craving more! All the ingredients were fresh and you can tell this is a passion for this lovely couple. My kids ask for pho now but I don t think any place will come close! Thank you for a culinary feast and hope to visit again soon!

Great first time experience here at Pho Bat Trang! We had the incredible experience of the owner serving us. What a delightful and very friendly person! We ordered shrimp salad rolls, shrimp pad thai, and a chicken veggie stir fry. All dishes were clean tasting, the presentation was very good, and came out of the kitchen fresh, hot, and in a reasonable time. I wish I had my phone with me to take photos of the dishes, but this review will be updated the next time we visit. And there will be a next visit 100%! It was a pleasure eating here!

Very tasty! They had a vegan pho which was full of vegetables and tofu. The broth was flavourful! We also had the vegetarian fresh rolls with tofu. The fresh rolls were delicious. The only downside was the slightly expensive price (vegan pho $14.99, one size only). We came around an hour before close and were worried they wouldnt take us but they were allowing guests until about 15 minutes to the listed closing time. It took about 45 minutes for the food, but the server was very kind and hardworking. Overall, the service was a bit slow but the food was great even with a little heftier price point. Vegetarian options: Vegan pho is hand written, easy to miss on the menu but it is there!

Best pho in st. Catharines. The owner Hong and his wife Cathy are great! The food is top notch and you taste the freshness in everything you eat. Service is great Hong is very attentive to his customers making sure everyone is happy and even answering the phone at the same time for take out orders! Hong and Cathy are a great team! I highly recommend!

Fresh and flavourful food! Ordered some pho and shrimp rolls, the shrimp rolls are handmade in the restaurant! You dont tend to see that. I would suggest dining here if you have a clear schedule as service could be slow. Its a mom and pop shop and they take pride in their craft, so have some patience and youll love it! The owners are absolutely lovely people. Would come back just to have a conversation with them. Parking: This restaurant is located in a plaza so theres always parking available.

Had the Pad Thai chicken, it was delicious, so many flavors.

The staff are very nice. However the food is not. Ordered the bowl of dry noodles with chicken and beef. The noodles should be dry but instead it was cold and wet. It was if thee noodles were cold rinsed then thrown into the bowl. There was very little meat. Ordered the jack fruit shake. It was just a glass of crusted ice with a few small pieces of fruit. It should be blended into a thick shake with coconut water or milk. Very little taste.

This place is simply the best.

The food are very tasty, location is just 2 minutes from QEW and the staffs are AMAZING. Highly recommended and definitely will come back.

Came here yesterday for something quick and I am glad I did. Got the fried shrimp rolls, pho, and some Vietnamese coffee. Everything here was top notch, and I wish I was closer to come here more often. Next time Im near St. Catherines Ill definitely be coming back. Owner and the staff were super friendly. Thank you for the amazing service!

Busy place, great soup and best spring rolls my wife has ever had !!!

Fantastic restaurant, the owner & staff were very friendly and extremely accommodating! The food is delicious and generous portions. Great value for your money and good conversations with the owner and staff are a bonus too!

This is so delicious thank you and so kind.

We were hoping for an experience aligned with the 4.7 star reviews we read on Google but it was a slight disappointment. To be fair, the young waiter seemed to be new and in training that was obvious from the loud prompts coming from the cook back in the kitchen (I know kitchens are loud and he may not be aware of how loud his voice is to the patrons in the dining room). Strangely, I ordered green curry Thai and it WASN T it was orange. I asked to make sure and they confirmed it s green curry. It looks colourful but I could do with less corn or tapioca starch it was really thick. I like that the cook came out and gave us a big bowl of hot water to dip our utensils in to clean them. It s usually what I do with a spot of tea on a napkin and wipe down so it s a nice gesture that they took the initiative. My friends said they liked that their spring rolls were very fresh but they also said some of the meat wasn t cooked all the way. I didn t notice; perhaps my piece was okay? My friend who ordered pho said it was really bland and didn t drink up all the soup. I kind of felt bad for my friends because they wanted to go to an upscale Vietnamese resto on the lake but some of us wanted cheap and cheerful. Wish it turned out better bc I thought the cook really wanted to do good by us.

Very good food and the owner takes care of the great atmosphere great place!

Went here for a nice dinner with my girlfriend. Amazing atmosphere and food options. We got the pho and vegetable spring rolls. The pho was amazing and had so much flavor you could definitely tell everything used was of high quality and was very fresh. The spring rolls are also some of my favorites so big and crispy, perfectly cooked and a perfect taste and crunch from the cabbage inside. Also the owner and staff are beyond polite and went above and beyond to offer us an amazing dinning experience. We chatted with the owner for a bit and after our meal was done he helped us packed up our to go container and offered us more broth for our pho. Overall a 10/10 experience and I will definitely be coming back.

The food was amazing, you taste how fresh and yummy all the ingredients are in every bite. Probably the best spring rolls Ive ever had, so good. And the service was amazing, you can tell everyone was treated like family, even as a first time diner. Owner went above and beyond in taking care of us, even went out of his way to separate the noodles and broth I couldnt finish, its the little things. Definitely coming back and definitely the only pho place I want to go to :)

Hong and his staff are great and the food came quick! The Tom yum soup is delicious and rolls were crispy, definitely recommend and definitely going back. Check them out!

amazing food, and the personal very gently

Excellent Pho, you can tell they use better quality ingredients. Service was very friendly.

By far the best Pho around!!! My husband and I were extremely impressed with the quality of ingredients and the rich flavours of the broth. The owner has amazing customer service as well! Over all wonderful experience and weve found our new Pho place to come or order take out from :)

Hong makes the best Tom Yum broth we have ever had and the ingredients are so fresh! Well worth the wait if there is a line up.

They never gave me a chance to experience there food beacuse of the false hours . Sign said its open Wednesdays. So did google until tonight. Disappointed. Multiple people were waiting outside . No notice on the door or anything. Bad service from the customers presepctive. I will come back to come give a fair review when ur actually open .

So delicious!

I got the rare beef pho and it was sooo good. People were very nice, portion is very good and they gave me water while I waited for my take out

Very clean, food was great and staff are very friendly and accomodating. We will come back for sure!

These guys need more credit. Weve been getting take-out from this restaurant for over 6 months and its perfect every single time. The amount of food you get for your money is astounding. The quality and flavour is second to none. The owner is a joyfully pleasant guy who i always enjoy seeing. Hats off to these guys, other businesses take note.

I havent had a tasty Pho soup like this in a long time.. That broth was so tasty and rich in flavor. The rare beef and the beef balls were delicious. I was looking at the other people sitting down and everyone seemed amazed by the portions and the quality of the food. The owner/server was so friendly and accommodating. He brought us hot water and a bowl to rinse out our spoons. I would definitely recommend this place..
