Early for an appointment decided to give this place a go as i seen it on Becki and Chris(Youtube) i ordered a large P6 Special Beef Noodle Soup and Spring Rolls the food was extremely delicious was told their soup has no MSG added (two thumbs up) the service was all smiles i would highly recommend this place
Flavours are on point!
The grilled lemongrass chicken had a good coating of the marinade & char grilled to perfection.
The spring rolls were crunchy & packed full of pork mixture.
Prawn salad roll had more vermicelli noddles that prawn. Dressing is creamy & nutty.
My recommendation: special vermicelli bowl.
We love this place. The beef noodle soup pho taste like homemade and the service is really nice. We came when they almost closed but they still let us came in and didn't rush us to finish. They treat us like family. I will come back definitely.
The pho is really good, and the deep fried spring rolls are my favourite even though a little pricey for the quantity
The service is always super friendly!
Hey guys! Today we have a review of A Taste of Vietnam, a Vietnamese restaurant located near Vancouver General Hospital. Do the pho and spring rolls here warrant the trip away from the pho-land of Kingsway or is this place just an outlier? Read on to find out. Food: Team Tastic came here for a post-musical-theatre-show meal and I had the following:
Started as a mistake.. end was so right!. I have 3 top places for pho, and this is one of them.
Especially since the second time I sat down here I made a mistake which was oh so awesome. Before TOV I was not very adventurous with my pho. Broth of coarse was number one, but after that all i wanted was some sort of beef and maybe extra noodles. Slowly I was getting more into spicing it up myself, adding more cilantro but never tripe or tendon. That was for certain!
But after I moved to the Vancouver area I accidentally auto-piloted when I ordered my soup. I sat down by myself for a quick bowl of Pho and ordered my usual large P1... but being that I wasn't in my usual restaurant when my bowl showed up, wasn't thrilled. It was nothing but noodles and tripe. When i figured it out I just asked for a side of beef to add my dish but as I waited the sweet sent of the broth was tickling my nostrils and I had to start sipping. After a few sips it turned into a few bites, and thats when I realized... if the broth is good enough, i like whatever you put in it!!
I now order the House Special the min I walk in, with salad rolls to start and an iced coffee. The girls are always waiting with a smile, and a nice little treat of melon and a mint once all is done.
It is small inside so if you are going for lunch know you may need to wait a few min, but it will be worth it.
Scumptious
Great lunch spot. Quick and tasty food.
Always order for pick up. Beef noodle soup is always spot on, though a bit too greasy. Deep fried spring rolls are constantly disappointing. It's like they haven't changed the oil in their deep fryer in forever. The fresh rolls are decent, but the peanut sauce it comes with isn't very good.
Have always loved the oak and broadway location. Today we tried the Kingsway in burnaby location (franchised they tell me). The food was very good. Taste over portion. Much better than the previous pho restaurants that have been here. However, the service was meh. Waitress got mad at me because she gave me the wrong order
Good choice for eats around the hospital, good pho and bahn Mi's. I go here to eat pho and bahn mi. Both those items are tasty and relatively inexpensive. (about $4-5 for bahn mi, approx $7 for pho. My partner and friends positively reviewed the lemongrass chicken pho, and all the bahn mi's. They have vegetarian options for both also which are delicious and the reason why I go there. Otherwise the rest of the food is lackluster, and overpriced. A small size pho is a perfect portion. I found this to be one of the best options for eating by the hospital.
Service is unfriendly, but delicious pho! The best broth in Van! And comp fruit! Better music would be nice, but they beat every other pho from Granville to Knight!
Large rare beef pho was great. I like a good sized portion and this was plenty. Digging the complimentary fruit plate as a dessert instead of candy, as well.
I've given Taste of Vietnam another chance at large lunch time delivery and they have greatly improved. The food is cheap and cheerful and the service I get from Hanna (I think she's the owner) I pretty top notch. Eat I. Service is pretty good too.
Very yummy. Went for lunch on the weekend and it was quite quiet. Service was fast and the Pho and Vietnamese sandwich were very good. Lunch specials are reasonably priced. Will come back!
Most people dig their pho but me i love he lemon grass chicken and rice vermicelli.
Subs are a good buy.. I like the barbecue pork subs. Very tasty.
Kristy. The Pho here is lovely! Other reviewers have made negative remarks about small portions. The soups come in small and large and if large is too small for you then you must be crazy! I love that it comes in 2 sizes. In other places that don't offer this option I always end up leaving some, which I hate, or eating it all and feeling sick. I get small, my BF gets large and everyone is happy. The Pho is cheap and simple, no bells and whistles but well made, fresh ingredients, good stock and damn tasty. The restaurant doesn't have much atmosphere, which doesn't bother me. It's good for lunch or a quick and easy dinner.
Small portions, but they deliver.. Looking for some pho delivery after a night out? The open at 11am and the min order is $25. It is worth it if you don't want to leave your house, but the pho portions are very small. The subs are also contain very little meat. BUT they deliver within 3km, that's a plus sometimes.
They were juicy and the batter made for a QQ skin, all tossed with fried onion. The sauce was tart and like nothing I tasted before.
One of the nice touches is the complimentary fruit at the end of the meal. And it’s not like a Chinese restaurant where “fresh fruit” is code word for oranges… they actually had chunks of watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew.
