Bamboo Chopsticks

Not bad at all for a small franchise type place. — Now, don’t go there if you’re looking for a more upscale or romantic dining experience, that’s not the place for that. Nothing extra fancy, but we always enjoyed the fresh, fragrant bowls, service has always been courteous and staff very pleasant. Maybe we lucked out? I’ll return anyways, I like this small, no fuss place :)

The phở itself was pretty good. The beef was okay, however the service was atrocious. When we sat down, we had to wait and ask for the menu. We also asked to have two cups of water.
When we got our food we asked for water again. Nothing came. When we were well into our meal, our water still did not arrive. When we were almost done our meal, we once again asked for water. We were really thirsty! When it actually arrived, it was pretty much like our dessert.
The restaurant was not busy — there were only 4 tables.

Vermicelli bowl was satisfying and fresh, the flavor was good but there was nothing dramatic or intriguing about the flavors — no wow factor. There was no sauce to bring the whole dish together so it was a compartmentalized meal.
The green tea ice cream was overpowered by the chocolate sauce. It’s hard to ever be negative about chocolate, but in this case the subtle flavor of green tea ice cream was lost amongst all the chocolate.
Ambience was OK, better than average, but nothing special. Service was average.
Overall it was a good evening out and not too expensive.

The service was fast and friendly, however the food was alright.
I suppose it’s hard to compare it to East Vancouver.
The meat slices were thick, and though cooked through (for rare beef), was still the highlight of the phở. However, the soup was very salty, or filled with MSG, cuz I was drinking through my water and tea like nobody’s business. The beansprouts and lime were obviously left out and dry too.
But with few other options in the Westside, it’ll have to do for now. And like I said, the service was good enough to bring me back.
ps/​Confirmed, like someone else said, the small was filling.

A simple, but immaculate little restaurant with great service. Food is prepared quickly enough for lunch, and is still good enough for a casual date. The stir-​frys are very nice, but the reason to go here (especially for lunch) is the phó — Vietnamese soup. For those not accustom to phó, it is not spicy (unless you want it to be by adding a hot sauce), but a very delicious, delicate broth with meat, noodles and bean sprouts. It can also be sweetened/​flavoured with the addition of hoisin sauce.
The phó here is excellent (best I’ve had so far) and comes in several types, including a slightly peppery curry chicken. If you get the phó, I recommend ordering a small –it’s very filling. For larger appetites, as an alternative to getting large, there’s a deal for an appy, soup and drink. Pop is bottomless. The restaurant is licenced, but outside the ethnic options, choices are few. Of note, however, is the Vietnamese beer, broadly in the German-​Pilsner style, it is dryish and refreshing.
Highly, highly recommended.

Consistently delicious. Always can count of quick and awesome service too! Their curry soup is the best!

Of course, being the Viet phở/​iced coffee connossieur, I had to give one a try, esp. driving by on the way to Best Western hotel, just 2 big blocks walking distance.
One of the nicest Viet places I’ve been to, wished I did eat here for a quick bite, if it wasn’t for the continental breakfast back @ hotel. Sat at the bar counter and waited for the iced coffee to drip, which is a good sign.
Enjoyed watching the dishes come out of the kitchen, pretty efficient operation so know the customer service is there. Food looked tasty, good portions. Décor is more fusion, lots of white.
was a bit hesitant at looking at the menu without any Viet subtitles but can attest the authenticity of the kitchen staff, which also looked pretty immaculate. Looks like a new development overall anyways.
Will return, soon.

Love this phở place. It’s local, great service and quick prep time. This is my go-​to spot when I don’t want to make dinner for my family.
