“ This pho place is quite decent. The place isn’t anything fancy rather dull and outdated but their food is quite good and served quickly. Priced right as well with good portion size. Broth is deep and flavourful while noodles are fresh. This could be a good go to pho place for local folks. ”
“ What can I say about this lovely hideaway. Only that it’s the best pho in town. Say what you want about this and that and the other thing. This place has the best soup in Surrey hands down. The richness of the broth and the freshness of the noodles. This place delivers. Has that experienced and quality over quantity feel to it. Absolutely amazing ”
“ A solid Viet restaurant with some fantastic pho! It's got a decent price for their portions, and almost everything you would expect from a Vietnamese place, making it a great place to go to on a rainy day. I also highly recommend their strawberry smoothie :) ”
“ If you crave pure Vietnamese deliciousness then this is THE place to go. Old style banquette seating plus regular tables. Service is efficient but once your food comes - you’re kinda on your own - but that’s part of the charm. The ambiance is very low key, simple without anything fancy - so the focus is FOOD!!! I personally like the #18 dry (no liver, no heart), and the #36. Yummmm! To drink - gotta have some red bean in your drink: #64. I just finished my meal and I’m in heaven…. I’ve been coming for years and this place never disappoints. ”
“ Nice quiet spot to enjoy some pho. Usually get the #10 as it has the tendon and tripe and some pieces of beef too. Broth has a nice beef flavor and will always warm you up. Also one of the items we always get is the prok spring rolls and the pork/shrimp salad rolls. The spring rolls come with a vinegar sauce, always very crunchy and freshly made. Same goes for the salad roll. Comes with a tasty sauce and mixed with fresh veggies. Reasonably priced and quick service. ”
“ 4.5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a pho addict, I can recommend this pho place, if you are in surrey. Portion size is good, bowl is very hot, noodles perfectly cooked. Bun bo hue noodles were super fresh. Only the meat was a little bit too fatty for a dac biet hence the 0.5 stars deduction. Will come here again! ”
“ Review in August 2024: Update after 4 visits: service seems like deteriorating with every passing day. The curry was utterly slimy for some reason this time (we ordered this in the past). The response from staff was - I don't know what's going on in the kitchen! The other new staff can't really speak much English. Heard they are going to sell the restaurant and probably the reason why service is getting worse by the day. ****************************************** Review from January 2024: Food : extraordinaire, service: ok. Ambience: could do a lot better. Staff helped to understand the dishes we wanted to order and helped us from over ordering. Food is superbly good - the soup broth, the sea food items, herbs in soup - best you can get. Food is kid friendly since they don't add chilly or spices directly to food and serve it on sides. We can go there every week and still not get bored! ”
“ Chicken pho and beef stew were fantastic! I recommend. Also we took home 2 extra dishes (pork vermicelli and noodles with shrimp), both of them were good. We tried their lotus cookies as well (crunchy and sweet). Thank you for our delicious lunch. ”
