Vietnam House Restaurant in Victoria

I go there for the #12 Phó. I love the fish cakes in there and the spicy broth is phenomenal. Its a family business and theyve been around for a long time, so I love to encourage local community members.

Food

Friendly staff and good service. We ordered few dishes and loved all of them.

First time at this lovely little restaurant, delicious food and fantastic customer service. We will certainly be back!

Thank you for accomodating our needs (our 2 kids). From calgary AB.

All of the staff were amazing! Walking in with our newborn in a stroller an older staff member was holding the door right away. All of the rest of the staff was so exited to meet him! Our food was delicious as always and we were walked out all the way to the street. Was heartwarming. Thank you to all :-)

Best Vietnamese food in town!

Food is great. The restaurant is very cozy, nice and great service. Highly recommend if you want Vietnamese foods.

Good Bun Bo Hue

I ve tried a lot of veggie pho in Victoria and this is hands down the best one!! The broth is sublime, the service impeccable. They re so nice!

No comments and never return. Dont ask.

The food was good. I had a banh mi sandwich, and the baguette was light and crusty. It wasnt made in the traditional way with pate, pork belly, etc. While I was looking forward to a more traditional sandwich, it was tasty. Food

Great place, really nice food and service

Tasty food prepared well, but the portion sizes, especially the meat is borderline pitiful. As a 62 man I am always hungry afterwards, even my small-ish girlfriend was still hungry. Also, charging 20 dollars for a plate of vermicelli, mixed veg and a few tiny pieces of springroll and (quite literally) barely a tablespoon of meat is almost insulting. I can get twice as much of the exact same dish with comparable quality out of the mall food court 5 minutes away. Im sure that there is a lesson that the western world can learn about reducing portion sizes, but the price needs to reflect this, especially if 75 percent of the dish is rice vermicelli or rice. The food and the service is good, the portion sizes are not. Dont bring a big (or average) appetite, or prepare to order extra.

Always an amazing and tasty meal! Super friendly service every time. Highly recommend this place!!

Absolutely LOVE Vietnam House! The food is amazing every time. The best Lemongrass chicken I have ever had. Service is excellent, the team are all lovely. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Recently visited for the first time after meaning to go for a long while. Our lunch was fantastic. We had Pho and a beef stew. Both were very tasty. Will be back. Would highly recommend.

Sad to have to share this review as it used to be one of my fav places for takeout but couldn t resolve it in person. They missed 2/4 mains that we ordered and offered a can of pop as compensation when we had to return to pick up the orders they missed. Frankly insulting considering the price of gas. Poor service and won t be back.

Love this place! Havent been in ages, and just returned from lunch. Food is amazing. Our table had the rare steak and brisket ph , and seafood soup special, with spring rolls as a starter. Everything was fantastic, and they make the best n c ch m around. Iced coffee is delicious, and a must have. Thanks to the staff; very friendly and welcoming! Well be making this a regular spot again!

I would like to give a big shoutout to them for being so nice as it was my first experience here through delivery. I wanted everything to be vegetarian so when I called them and requested it, I ordered the spring roll but as they knew they went out of their way to make us rice sheet rolls which were absolutely amazing and even the vegetarian pho was awesome. Loved my first experience of Vietnamese food and will for sure continue to order from here.

If you havent tried this restaurant, you definitely should! Great Vietnamese food. Friendly, quiet, comfortable, and fast service. I love the green papaya salad and the lemon grass chicken with vermicelli, but everything I have tried is excellent!

I highly recommend trying this place. It is a local business with a cute and clean location. They have their own delicious recipes. The food is fresh and they provide an exceptional service . Must try!

Ive been going here for probably at least 10 years and I absolutely love this place. The staff are so kind and welcoming and the food is amazing. I love Vietnamese food and these folks do it RIGHT as Ive throroughly enjoyed every dish Ive tried. Warm relaxed atmosphere and a really nice patio in the summer. One of my favorite restaraunts in town, I recommend it highly to anyone who wants a delicious gnosh.

I ordered from DoorDash to my hotel while visiting from Van. Its tasty here. I had vermicelli with charboiled pork + spring rolls, shrimp and papaya, Vietnamese Iced Coffee. They did a good job following my request and wrote me a nice message too

Absolutely delicious.

We had the spring rolls and green papaya salads. Delicious and reasonable. Exactly what we were craving. Will definitely go back to try some of the other dishes. Nice atmosphere and good service.

Excellent! First time I have ordered from Vietnam House & for sure will do again! Food is fresh & delicious

Pho here was OK, portions on the smaller side and taste was just meh. Worth a try i guess.

Delicious and reliable Always good. Friendly place Food

Hands down the best spring rolls Ive ever had. They were actually flavorful unlike others and had a nice mild spice The Pho Gah (chicken pho) was great too. Lots of different veg and a good portion of noodles. I would only ask that there be a bit more meat for the price but otherwise this is my new pho place

Food is good but quite expensive I would say. Service is amazing though.

I ordered pho and papaya salad on skip the dishes before.The food amount was so little and didn t have much flavour. I paid over $70 and received $20 worth of food. It was a wtf experience and very disappointed.

Amazing people and I love theyre patio space! They have been around Victoria for so long Im overjoyed to see they survived Covid.

Fabulous service, fresh, tasty food. Pho was excellent. The lemon grass chili paste on the condiment rack they brought was outstanding.

All the great reviews made me plan a stop here but we couldn t find anywhere to park, is parking always this scare in Victoria? We headed back to to Crofton hungry and disappointed. Luckily for us the Green Leaf in Duncan was open with plenty of parking and excellent food.

Great service and the flavours in the curry are delicious! Restaurant is clean and there is a patio for outdoor dining. Recommend a refreshing Vietnamese coffee for dessert.

Cute place and friendly staff but the food was average.

Reallu good food . Got a pho and salad rolls . Yumm Vegetarian options: There were many options Food : 4/5 |

Delicious food, served promptly, great service

Very very good food ,nice place, nice staff, reasonable prices, whenever Im over that way I always stop there for lunch

Really good.chicken curry and soup

The food is very spicy, but it was delicious.

We had a particularly delicious meal here, one of the better Vietnamese restaurants we have ever been to. The spring rolls were so tasty that after one bite we quickly ordered another portion.

Service was excellent. Very tasty food.. really enjoyed my PHO.

Great food, beautiful atmosphere, excellent service, lovely patio, well be back very soon .

Absolutely wonderful meal. The service was amazing and nice. The food was superb. I had the 36 - lemongrass chicken. The veggie spring roll was the show stealer. 5/5 would eat again.

Lived up the street for years and I cant believe i havent been here. Great friendly service also to my surprise it is picky three year old kid APPROVED! Kid-friendliness: Our server was so kind and gave my kids chopstick lessons 101 ! Cute

The place is cute but only their pho is missing something. I guess I am a picky Vietnamese food eater. However, not that many Vietnamese restaurant are around so it would be considered the top 5 restaurant I have been to for Vietnamese food.

I stumbled upon this gem because I moved in around the corner. Now, I LOVE pho. It s actually my favourite food of all time, so obviously I was gonna check the scene in my new neighbourhood. Not only is their soul THE BEST I have ever had, the rest of the menu is spectacular as well. The service is super friendly, and they really go the extra mile when they can. One time I called to do a take out order when they were closed. The chef / owner / dad (it s a family run business) was in doing some work though so he picked up the phone. After letting me know they were closed (and hearing the slight disappointment in my voice) he asked what I wanted. He then prepared a rare been pho for me anyway I ve since moved away from that neighbourhood, but the family that owns it still recognizes me when I stop in :) One more fun tidbit that I love about Vietnam House - they re often playing instrumental jaws in the dining room, which is such a cute touch to the ambiance. Highly recommend. Bring your family. Bring your friends. Or just pop in by yourself, which is what I do quite often. Thanks for feeding me nutritious and delicious food Will & Fam

Really Tasty Banh Mi and spring rolls, amazing service; actually brought my take out order out to my vehicle when it was ready!

The positive reviews are true!! One said the pho broth tastes like all marrow and after trying it I agree. All the ingredients were nice and fresh and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is nicer than Im used to at pho restaurants in Victoria (the seats are super comfortable). Overall great experience and very interested in trying more items on the menu. I had the classic rare steak and brisket pho and my other half had the prawn special. Both were perfect!!! Highly recommend.

Excellent food, delightful service, and a clean, cheerful environment. I will definitely be going back!

Our go to place for Pho and Bahn Mi. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The food is always amazing.

Nice place, good food.

The best Vietnamese in Victoria, probably the best Ive been to in the Western world. Friendly polite staff, beautiful little patio with plants you can tell someone really cares for, delicious food. Cant be beat - a favourite for sure.

Hands down one of the best Vietnamese meals I have ever had! I have recommended it to everyone, and I will continue to do so! Great service, a very nice atmosphere, and above all else delicious food!

Great customer service (thanks Long)- and the food is delicious...my first go to place when I have to meet friends for lunch. Try their homemade-inhouse fermented chilli sauce on any of your meals. I love the lemon chicken and spring roll on Vermicelli (#36)

First time to visit and everything was excellent. I had pho ba (seen here) and my wife, who is Vietnamese, said the bun bo hue is the best she has tasted here in Canada! Well be back.

I have lived in Victoria for 15 years and I have been to numerous numbers of Vietnamese Restaurants. This is by far the worst place ever!!! The price is too high for its quality and the quantity. There was not enough noodle, veggie, sauce or flavor. On the top of that, they charged extra for everything without letting the customer know. The price for the food should be $32 and it became $42!!! When asking the server to clarify, he was so defensive and rude, and repeated I dont know what u want. He even insulted me saying that I did not know how things work in Victoria! I have never been charged extra for saying We do not want peanut but like the veggies., and for more fish sauce for the extra noodle that we had to order since there simply was not enough!! (I get that the I shall pay for the extra noodles, and even the noodles were $2 more expensive than other restaurants.) Never ever going back, and I will make sure to share my thoughts with my friends and family.

Best vegetarian pho I ve ever had :)

Absolutely delicious. Such fresh dishes and excellent service ; highly recommended . Have the homemade hot sauce !

Great food every time, cant wait to eat it again.

Favorite place to visit for pho! Staff are always so friendly & the food is always great.

Good Pho , Friendly and efficient service

Great service and food.

Super tasty pho! Extremely accommodating and amazing staff, will definitely be back

The restaurant is very well-decorated. Super tasty food and wonderful customer service. We tried Pho and Banh mi ... We ate so fast so didnt take any pictures. We came back and tried beef noodle soup

Really excellent delicate broth and massive portions. Clean and cozy ambience. Friendly service.

Enjoyed excellent Pho, crispy spring rolls and iced Vietnamese coffee

Excellent food & service!

Delicious and relaxing pho, you should eat here

Good food but they charge different prices on different days . $29 for pho and 2 spring rolls .. not sure how that worked but wont be back as I told staff I was being overcharged and had the same thing the day before . Still came out to $29. Wont be back.

Nice service and tasty food

Overall decent pho joint. Owner and staff are always very friendly. Priced tend to be a bit on the higher side, and portions on the smaller but its a nice spot and I havent had a bad experience there yet.

Best vegetarian pho in town!

I ended up here in a sense by accident when my usual restaurant wasn t open. I love pho and was glad to see this restaurant nearby on the map. I ordered the seafood pho and wasn t disappointed. It included just enough seafood, vegetables, and noodles in a delicious broth. I tried a little of the house hot sauce as I love spicy food and it added a nice warmth. The service was excellent and I always appreciate when a server follows up soon after delivering the food to check if everything is as expected. The restaurant has a lovely decor and the music was subtle and relaxing. I d recommend this to anyone who likes Vietnamese cuisine.

I went to there with my family. Not good not bad for taste but I guess beef was not so fresh little bit smelly. But Worst thing was they charged for tea without any mention. They asked me water or tea? And I said tea, please. It was charged. And also its expensive considering quantity and quality.

Like a glimpse of paradise - a babbling brook, a cooling breeze, a lush garden. Never did I think I would find baby dill fish cake and tofu soup here on the Island. Broth was exceptional. Beef broth tastes like pure marrow, probably the best Ive had in a long while. Kind and attentive service, what more could you want?

The vermicelli was inedible. The fish sauce was like salted water. Everything is overpriced.

Delicious food. Great service!!! Lovely restaurant. Mr. Phi Long, the owner, is very friendly, and nice.

Very overpriced for what its worth the springrolls are tiny. 6 tiny pieces for 12$. The pho tasted like chicken stalk and only maybe has 1 piece of beef Im very disappointed in this place. Honestly I want my money back this is awful

I have had both their Pho and Banh Mi. The pho was delicious with a beautiful clear broth , and good options for heat to spice it up. The location is quite cozy and has both in or outside seating. Parking can be confusing and I believe parking on the neighboring streets is expected.

Good pho and spring rolls, the vietnamese coffee was delicious would highly recommend it

Parking: Parking can be a bit of a challenge, depending on the time of day. But delicious and well worth it.

Fresh, flavourful, very nice quality Vietnamese food!! Delicious fresh squeezed mango juice, too.

First and only place in town so far I could find a good bành mí, also the vibe is great and the staff are very good

Best Vietnamese coffee Ive ever experienced - drip brewed in individual cups and absolutely delicious. Mouth watering fresh Bhan Mi. Cannot wait to go back and try more!

authentic food at great prices - try the lemongrass chicken, you will not be disappointed

The food was very mediocre, the rice was definitely old and not fresh. I was highly disappointed, unfortunately we wouldn t go back.

Warm atmosphere, good attentive service , excellent food and good prices. Its small but superb, no liquor licence tho!

The place seems empty, but there are so many take out orders. The staff is really nice and the food is really good. A great patio for the summer!!

This Mom and Pop restaurant is run by a very nice and friendly family who make authentic Vietnamese food. Excellent customer service and ambience Vegetarian options: Has some amazing dietary options for vegetarians. Kid-friendliness: Kids no worries.

Ordered a salad roll, bowl of pho and a rice dish. Was most certainty fresh and super tasty. I definitely will be returning to this gem once again.

5/5 no joke! Consistently impressed here, honestly feel like i m cheating on them if i go elsewhere. loyal af

Delicious, on-time pickup. great service

Best Banh Mi in Victoria

Great customer service

The Pho was amazing and the service was top notch. Everyone was very kind and the ice coffee is a must try

Best pho in the city and if you want take out they do it right

Spring rolls are gross, the salad rolls are basically just cheap lettuce and the peanut sauce just tastes like hot sauce even though theres no mention of it being spicy. The sub was really good last time, but cold and not good very good at all this time. The lemongrass vermacillis are gross. Will not be getting food from here again.

Food is mediocre. They got my order and my friends order wrong and it wasnt even that busy.

Great food, friendly staff. 10/10 will be back!

Very cool fresh and tasty food, hearty portions and affordable prices

Just got take out for lunch here and it was AMAZING. Excellent services, food was ready quickly and its absolutely delicious. Banh Mi was warm and very flavourful, the prawn salad rolls were fresh and the peanut sauce had an amazing spicy twist! Highly recommend!

This place has THE most delicious tofu curry rice dish I have ever had. Cant wait to eat here more often.

We did a pre-order via Fantuan to be ready 40 mins later, the restaurant made it asap, when we got there they said it had been sitting there almost 40 min. I explained that I had done a pre-order they said they did not get that info, said I had to call Fantuan customer service to resolve it, they offered no solution to the problem, they apologized for serving the food cold with spring rolls no longer crisp, they took no pride in their food and even took offense when I said I would not come back. Customer service is very poor, cold soggy food was also very poor.

The food is delicious but the staff are the best! Both in-person and when ordering through delivery services theyve been so friendly and accommodating, even calling to make sure it was okay that they were out of one garnish. Plus a decent number of vegetarian options which have all been fantastic (especially the pho)

Amazing staff, delicious food, and the outdoor patio is so cozy. Such a beautiful find, well be back!

I visited this restaurant with my friend few days ago and it was amazing experience I have ever had. Vietnam house restaurant have a wonderful patio with really good decorations. We ordered a Vietnamese coffee, Pho and Hu tieu bo kho which were really impressed. The staff here are really nice and hospitable. Would recommend this place to people.

Wonderful view! Come here couple times for lunch and coffee. The coffee condensed milk is the best choice. Great service with friendly staffs! Average price. Many choices in the menu.

Excellent food, great service. Highly recommend

Really good and traditional Vietnamese food. The owner is really kind and helpful. Lemongrass chicken was my favourite dish:) cheers from Italy

Amazingly delicious food. Very pretty restaurant with comfy chairs. Friendly and attentive staff.

I would like to give this place better rating but unfortunately I cant for a simple reason I will be miss guiding the owner and the public at large. I ordered Togo and maybe this is the reason why the food wasnt as good as I was hoping to be. I probably wont order again but it is possible that my taste is different.

Service was impeccable. Place was clean and have good vibes. Food was great. The Pho and Bun Bo Hue was very authentic. Recommend trying out the house special hot sauce.

My husband and I ordered take away and were disappointed to see that the pho was pre assembled. By the time it got home, the rare steak was tough, the broth was murky and not very flavorful and the bun was soggy. It might be a good option to keep the bun and meat separated from the broth when ordered for take away.

What a absolute disappointment tryed this place bc alyssas pho is closed for vacation. got take out and everything was pre assembled so by the time I got home the meat was over cooked the noodles were soggy. You get half the amount of broth that you do from other places and theres no flavor basically tastes like water. They pre mix the hosin in with the hot sauce and call it house made hot sause this is definitely the worst pho I have ever had save yourself the money and get real pho from alyssas pho thats the best in the city they reopen aug 11th. Vietnam House your pho was complete trash you should be disappointed in your product

Best Vietnamese food in town!! Well balanced, fresh ingredients, authentic taste, presented nice!. Family run business always taken care of every aspect!!

I ordered from here yesterday for the first time and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. We had the prawn special and the lemongrass pork with spring roll and both were fresh, tasty, and well-presented. The former had lovely big prawns, and plenty of them.

Very good !! Price was also decent

Love this place!! Vietnamese or Pho places are usually pretty ugly, this place is super clean and nice inside, quite different and I appreciate that!! Food is good and they make a special home chilli paste that is incredible!! I had to ask if they sold a bottle and they do!! I took one home

Thoroughly enjoyed the pho. Broth was very flavourful and the service was attentive. Definitely recommend! Parking was a bit challenging.

Best Pho in town hands down. Clean place, good vibes. Highly recommend. Food was HOT & delicious.

Excellent food especially the house-made chili sauce! Great service considering our host was on his own for a full house.

Owner is so friendly, food is amazing and its priced right. Highly recommend.

Food is nice and fresh and delicious

Good service and delicious food

These folks have always been so kind, especially the young man running the front. Their food is always top notch, not to oily, great flavor, my suggestion for take out is to put the meat on the side as sometimes it overlooks a little. Love this place though!

service = incredible and kind lemongrass chicken w/rice and bahn mi= to die for :)

Disappointing. Only checked vaccine card after we asked if he was going to. He said it makes people feel better. Other people came in and sat down and he didnt check them. Woman working there without a mask deaoite mask requirements. We should have walked out. The food was bland and tasteless and slow service. Charged $4 for watery tea.. Small portions and expensive compared with other vietnamese restaurants. Wont come again.

Delicious soup and wonderful staff and owner

Absolutely amazing place. This is not just the best Vietnamese restaurant Ive been to, its some of the best food Ive had in my life. Not to mention quiet and relaxing ambience. Would come back in a heartbeat.

The food is always amazing

Very good

Horrible smelling seafood with rice that looks like old clumping cat litter. 2 bots and almost threw up. I ordered an orange juice and got sunny delight. 2 bits and i walked up and paid the bill and left with an untouched plate on the table. Drove up to 5th st to wash the bad tast out of my mouth. Bring a barf bag. Gross.

I highly recommend the lemongrass chicken. This plc turned ne in vietnamese food

Yum why is this place never more busy, I just dont understand. I love the vermicillion dishes on the back of the menu, lemongrass chicken with spring roll! Yum try this place its so good and the staff are lovely!

Great food and great atmosphere

Really nice atmosphere and service. Pho and beef in the pho were a bit off smelling. The tea also tasted chlorinated somehow. Good experience but not a fan of the food.

A place for people who like to eat Vietnamese food

The best vegetarian pho in town!!

Best Banh Mi in Victoria. Good ratio of meat, veg, sauce to bread. Also had lemongrass chicken. Havent had better in Victoria. A bit more expensive than most other Vietnamese but you are getting better quality.

Yummy pho!

Some of the best Vietnamese food in Victoria, extremely good service and wonderful atmosphere. Cant wait till I can dine here again!

Terrible, #34, what a disappoint.

Great family run restaurant, best spicy house Pho in town. Quality ingredients and they also have this homemade spicy lemongrass chilli sauce that you can t find anywhere else.

Amazing food, fantastic service, and reasonably priced!!! Absolutely no complaints, Im always impressed with every aspect of this place!

Probably the best Vietnamese restaurant Ive been to. I ordered their spring rolls and lemongrass pork chop and they were nothing less of superb. The friendly bloke who served our table was polite and the other staff were great. Would eat here again.

Favorite place for pho & Vietnamese in Victoria! Im a big fan of Vietnamese food and this place is perfect for me because of my vegetarian girlfriend who loves to order their veggie pho. Excellent service and food love this place.

Great customer service, ordered through uber eats and one of our items didn t make it to the delivery. One of the staff went out of their way to deliver the items with extra food! Great food too with veggie options.

Delicious!!!

I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant! Such care, attention, and love is put into every dish and every customer interaction. Exceptional service and best Vietnamese food in town! Thank you for such a perfect experience!

Good food, friendly service. Would definitely eat there again.

Awful Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi.

Wonderful friendly staff. Excellent food

Ordered pick-up for the first time and was so surprised with how amazing and fresh the dishes are. My friend has a shellfish allergy and they were so accommodating told us which items to avoid, which would be fine, and which just needed a few adjustments. We were so grateful and loved everything we ordered... especially the spring rolls!

We stopped in here for a light lunch and were not disappointed. We had an order each of the Prawn salad rolls and the Lemongrass Chicken salad rolls and the were both delicious. Our server was very curtious and good Covid protocol in place.

Fantastic little Vietnamnese restuarant. Food was excellent - do alsl order the pork handroll, it was amazing.

Absolutely fantastic! A must try for sure!

Best Vietnamese food in Victoria

Pho was good. Wish they served wine or beer, though.

The Pho is awesome and highly recommended , Josie

The interior was pleasant and on a warm sunny day there is also seating outside. The menu offers a good selection of dishes for lunch & dinner at reasonable prices. I enjoyed Spring rolls with in house peanut sauce and a rice noodle dish. My friend enjoyed Beef Pho. Watch out for the hot sauce! Downside is the limited patking in the area.

We came here based on the vicfoodguys instagram post. First of all, if it is any deterrent of coming here, there is no parking. We parked right out front which wasn t even a legit parking spot as it was faded yellow curb. Me and my boyfriend each had a bowl of pho and he had a sub. I asked for mine with no cilantro. The waitress brought out a plate of bean sprouts, chile peppers, basil leaves, and lime. I was impressed when I saw the portion of bean sprouts was enough to share without asking for more. When the bowl of soup was brought out to me they had substituted it with green onions which I thought was quite nice. Soup base was sort of oily which I was not used to seeing in pho. Fast forward to eating. The soup base was kind of weird-mainly because of the oil I believe. And I tasted cilantro. It was like they had forgotten the fact I didn t want cilantro and put green onions in to cover up the remaining cilantro that was in the soup. All in all it wasn t great but it wasn t bad either. Food wasn t great enough to outweigh the no parking issue.

Excellent food

A wonderful warm place
