![Zomato]( "Recensione")
We were in the Pinetree Village area of Coquitlam for some personal business the other day, and when finished, lunch was definitely in order. We saw Pho 99 nearby, so handy, decided to give it a try. Walked in about 11 am, liked how we were greeted, what we saw, and headed to the table directly in front of the service counter.
Service was good — our server brought hot tea (pot and mugs) and menus quickly (a large placemat type showing all offerings, and a small one of lunch specials), and provided some needed help with ordering.
What we (a threesome) ordered and shared — ‘Combo A’ - a lunch special of rice w/pork, large (beef) pho, and two spring rolls — and added an order of chicken wings. Our food order came from the kitchen to table in a timely manner - except for one minor ‘wrinkle’ in the serving sequence. We had hoped to see the wings first, as a sort of appetizer, but they arrived last, and well after everything else - almost wings for dessert - ok, but not expected.
Servings were well-sized, and all arrived looking good. The dishes were well-prepared, ingredients plentiful, and nicely and distinctly flavoured. Pho — broth warm and tasty, beef (two kinds) tender, and juicy, vermicelli noodles cooked perfectly, condiments fresh, and crisp. Spring rolls — warm, large, crispy coatings, and well-stuffed with tasty ingredients. Rice & pork — pork warm, well-seasoned, very tasty, salad cool, fresh, and crisp, rice warm and good. Chicken wings — large, plump, nicely-seasoned coating, tender, moist, chicken. All accompanying sauces flavourful and tasty.
We enjoyed our lunch at Pho 99 — small place, rather quiet ambiance, friendly staff, good service, and well-prepared food. It really did turn out to be what we were looking for, and sure hit the spot after a rather active and busy morning.

Pho 99 is a well known Vietnamese cuisine franchise best known for their noodle soups translated as “pho”. With seven locations to date, I visited their Coquitlam location after a long day of studying for a quick bite. It’s tucked in the corner of the plaza on Lougheed Highway few stores down from Chapters. I’m not very picky when it comes to pho because it essentially tastes the same to me everywhere-delicious, filling and cheap!
Was looking for some Vietnamese food in the Coquitlam area but I couldn't find any until I stumbled upon this place! It has really big portions of food and it also closes late! It was really good and I would go back there again for sure!
I love this place. The best of the Pho 99 chain is this one. The customer service is unconventional- they can come off as impolite but I don't feel that. They're all nice people and super friendly. I feel like I'm in a home kitchen when I step into the restaurant. I love it. Their pho has great flavour. Will keep on coming back for sure!!
Thus Pho 99 must be the original because I've been to others in this chain and they were nowhere near as good. You simply MUST have the spicy seafood soup. I've never had it anywhere else as good as it was here. Seriously. You have to try it.
Best of the pho99 locations, small and friendly and always great tasting pho. Chicken on rice is always delicious, and the soups are always on point.
Best of all the pho restaurants I have tried, blows pho Hoa out of the water by miles
Awesome.. I've been to many pho restaurants and this is the best. I've even been to each of the other pho99 - the one near Coq center is Mmm.
I go all the time, sometimes 3+ times a week. I'm pregnant and this is my number one craving. I love the staff they are always so sweet, know what I'm getting as soon as I walk in and I never have to wait. Though it can be very busy I do tend to find it louder in there, but it's the best pho I have been able to find and will not go any where else.
Good Comfort Food. PROS: good quality, cheap, steakpho, large portions chicken subs, heated for winter, open pretty late for Coquitlam.
Cons: Restaurant is ugly
Large portions, good taste, fast, decent service , sub-par eating atmosphere, always crowded
