Absolute hidden gem with showstopper pho! 🍜 We both had the chicken soup that is 10/10. Family-owned mother-daughter restaurant that’s always full - and rightfully so! We loved hearing their story 🫶🏼 and we’ll be back for more delicious pho! 💕
Me and my husband really enjoy this restaurant for it's traditional authentic home made Vietnamese food. You can taste the food and love put into every meal with the complexity and layers of flavors. Since we moved to Victoria we have been searching for a great Vietnamese restaurant which would be comparable to our travels to Vietnam in the past and we found it. The owner truly makes the atmosphere with her natural friendly demeanor and welcoming attitude. This is a family run business that is a true hidden gem. Two of our favorite dishes include the beef stew, with it's spice and slow cooked beef just melting in your mouth. The beef noodle soup is another top notch item to order, with so many complex flavors you not regret ordering.
A very good experience.
The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing.
The service was good and professional.
The food was delicious, and healthy.
The prices were fair.
I would recommend if you are looking for more high end place to eat Vietnamese food.
The taste of broth that has been simmered for an extended period of time is unparalleled. Visit Authentic Victoria restaurant to experience it for yourself!
Delicious pho! We packed our leftovers to go and the pho was just as tasty reheated the next day.
The salad role was the best I have ever had. They have this crunchy thing in the middle that is a game changer. We had the bun and it was all really, really delicious, except the chicken. It was a bit soggy and tasteless. I would definitely eat here again but I would get something else.
A little hidden gem, the service is outstanding, you feel like a family friend. The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy especially on a cold night. I always get the spring roll or salad roll to start and a spicy beef and meatball pho as my main. The food quality is consistent and there's always leftovers that are just as delicious reheated the next day. Highly recommend!
This little restaurant is a gem. Great food - indescribably so. The Pho is an orgasm for the tongue. Best I've had in years.
Kim and her mom own the place. She is friendly, informative and has a great personality. So does her mom. Out of the way, and Petite Saigon is busy - especially on weekends. That tells you something about this restaurant. One tip for Thursday through Saturday; best to go to their website and book ahead. that way you're assured a seat.
Don't miss this experience for the palate.
Very attentive staff and clean establishment upstairs.
Food came out quickly and very hot. Great flavours and good portions.
Tried the mild seafood hotpot (could have done medium easily - mild had a hint of spice) The fried rice had a unique flavour profile with lots extras (not just a pile of rice with a few veggies and meat hiding within).
The Vietnamese coffee was great but comes with a paper straw (totally forgot my metal straws!)
Prices are decent as you get a good amount of food ($15 or less a dish).
Basement, where bathrooms are located, is a bit damp smelling and bathrooms, while clean, weren't what I would have expected. Since there are quite a few staora, not great for anyone with mobility issues.
Love all we ordered !!! The curry, the skewers and the fresh veggie roll...they are all good. Oh ! You should try yheir Green Papaya Salad as your starter...sooo good !!!
