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.

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!
