Just got their pho & spring roll. Really tasty spring rolls, and also, a really good pho! The order was a takeout through SkipTheDishes, who managed to crack the bowl with pho spilling it all over & damaging the experience a little. But I appreciate that they packed the noodle & chicken in one container and the broth in the other. Kept things clean.
Pho 101 has one of the best pho broths in Burnaby. The noodles are great and it's a great place to have a quick meal and bounce. I used to be a regular there when I worked near Pho 101 but during my recent visit, their meat wasn't on par. It felt a bit on the lean side for their brisket. But their broth is really amazing and definitely one of the clearest. In terms of decor, it's a hole in the wall but the food is great.
I'm a regular customer here-the soup for the pho is very tasty, not too salty. Friendly and prompt service. Spring rolls are probably the best anywhere. The salad rolls are also pretty good. I'm also a big fan of the #37 vermicelli dish with lemongrass chicken. While not the cheapest it's a fair amount of food and it's always good.
Big portion, Taste is Ok. Friendly staff. Nice interior deco, not like other pho places which usually suggesting a "finish your stuff and get out" kind of deco. Cheap, I be been visiting monthly. Will give a 4.5 if close by 9pm
This is my fav pho place! Spring rolls are amazing and always crispy and super hot. The sauce for it is the perfect partner. O always get the small pho chin and the portion is massive. Have to admit this is the estimate hangover cure in the area and I couldn't recommend it more highly. Pick up is even great and they're super fast!
The pho here is good. The soup here is better than most pho places I've been to, I don't find myself thirsty afterwards. The iced coffee is decent, some days a bit weak, some days nice and strong the way I like. But the spring rolls, wow. I don't think I've found another pho joint with better spring rolls, they're so crispy and tasty, and most importantly not super oily. The only thing that really keeps this place from being perfect for me is that their pho noodles seems a bit too thick. It's like the noodles are slightly under cooked so they are a bit too firm and the rice flavour somewhat overpowers everything else.
This pho was delicious and the portion size was huge! It was the first time having pho that I couldn't finish it. It was loaded with meat and noodles, hot and tasty. I haven't found a pho resto in Victoria that compares to this one in Burnaby. The atmosphere was nice. Lots of space.
Tasty Pho in North Burnaby. Pho 101 is located in North Burnaby on the way up to SFU or the Barnett Highway. It's a clean, nicely decorated room and the staff are young and cheerful. I always get a large bowl of Pho since it's only 25 cents more than a small.
The sprouts, basil and lime are fresh and they have great satay chilli oil that you can even buy to take home for $5. Fair portion of noodles are done perfectly and the broth is clean and earthy with very little or no MSG. I've also tried the Lemongrass Chicken on rice and the Beef Stew on rice and both were also good. I like the place because the food is good, servers are nice and the place is bright and roomy, so you don't feel crowded.
Delicious. Ordered #37 which is the grilled pork with spring roll over vermicelli noodles. The pork was tender and full of flavour and the egg roll was very crispy with lots of meat.
Highly recommend this place for lunch and/or want some good comfort food.
Love it! Favourite things include the pho tai and spring rolls. The subs are good too!
