This is a small Vietnamese joint located on Granville, in Marpole. They serve up a basic menu consisting of the regular Vietnamese pho and other dishes. I had their Pork Patty Salad Rolls, Com Ga, and Vietnamese Coffee. The food is fairly decent; not the best that I've had, but still enjoyable. Prices are fairly reasonable while the service is minimal, but the staff still friendly. All in all, not a bad joint for some Vietnamese fare.
Pork Patty Salad Rolls, 2 pc ($7.25)
3.5/5
The salad rolls contained vermicelli and pieces of pork, and is served with a side of peanut sauce. The pork was tender and had a nice flavour. On their own, the rolls were a bit on the bland side, however they are quite tasty when dipped in the sauce.
Com Ga ($11.25):
3/5
This consisted of lemongrass chicken on rice. Unfortunately, I found the chicken here to be a tad of a letdown: it was a little underseasoned and bland, and missing the charred grilled flavour. It wasn't bad though, and I still enjoyed it.
Vietnamese Coffee ($4.25):
4/5
This was coffee served on a layer of condensed milk. Full disclosure: I'm definitely not a coffee expert and I can't tell the difference between good coffee and bad coffee. I can only say that I really enjoyed the drink here: the coffee paired incredibly well with the condensed milk, which lent a great creaminess and a nice sweetness.
Summary:
Food: 3.5/5
Price: 4/5
Service: 3/5
Overall: 3.5/5
Recommendations: Pork Patty Salad Rolls, Vietnamese Coffee
Wanted to try a new place and saw that it had some good reviews. Glad that I did end up trying it. Servers were friendly and we didn't have to wait long for our food. I had their large #2 House Special with medium rare beef slices, beef balls, beef tendon, and tripe. They also give you bean sprouts and Thai basil on the side. The thing they emphasize here is that there's no msg. They don't need the msg because their broth is full of flavour. It doesn't feel oily or too heavy. The pho was pretty filling and everything tasted good. I would definitely come back. They also have stamp cards too to get a free bowl of pho!
My go-to place for pho. The broth does not have MSG and still has a lot of flavours. The rare beef is quite rare which is nice because is doesnt dry out as quickly. They also offer a customer stamp card. The only thing I wish is they put more tripe and tendon in their soups.
