We always come here for Pho with the whole family. It’s so delicious, and also the grilled meats with rice (recommend R6)! Big portions and a nice establishment ??
The food here is pretty good and I’ve ordered from them many times, but one day ordered their chicken noodle soup and had a horrible allergic reaction (I don’t have “known” allergies). When calling them to ask what was in the broth for spices she said they don’t put spice in it and don’t have a spicy chicken noodle soup (they thought I was calling to place a new order), I tried to clarify that I mean how do they season it, I was currently eating their chicken noodle soup and that I was having an allergic reaction and just needed to know what they used to flavour the broth, she passed me over to a man who said if I have an allergy then I shouldn’t order their food. I politely asked again if could just find out because it could be an emergency, he said the chef is not in (yet they’ve been open for 2 hours), I asked if they could call me back once they are in- and he hung up the phone.It’s really unfortunate that they chose to interact this way, because the food is usually good here, but this type of customer service, especially when it could be an emergency is not okay.

I love this place. The food is always delicious. Their prices went up after COVID but so did everyone else's. It makes me sad to see negative reviews about the owners' service. She has always been amazing to myself and my wife. We get treated like family by the owner. Thanks for the wonderful food and amazing service. ♥️♥️♥️

All part of the adventure ?I loved the walk there and back from my parking spot. The neighborhood was really nice. I even found an important present, and one for me ? I highly suggest the magazine store a few blocks up.When it came to the food.... there were a few things I enjoyed ? and like I said, the walk was lovely.Honestly, I kindly asked for no cilantro and the noodles and meat were covered, the meat tasted stale, and the broth did not have peanut sauce but possibly fresh crushed peanuts... I should also know better than to order calamari from a pho place ?The smoothie was pretty good and the broth (minus chunky bits) was ok, even if not what I thought it was going to be.I may never go back, but I don't think I'll forget it ????

We two were the only customers yesterday around dinnertime. We sat down. A middle-aged lady with a rude demeanour brought us only one menu, which was awkward because we were seated across from each other. From the moment we sat down, we were shocked how rude and unwelcoming she was. That horrid woman brought us one knife, one fork, one spoon, and one set of chopsticks, even though there were two of us. Red flag! We ordered grilled pork with rice and grilled pork with noodles. Both came with rolls, but not the Vietnamese rolls we have become accustomed to. These were like Chinese rolls - possibly frozen. They were horrible. Worse, I highly doubt that was pork on our plates. It tasted like beef and it was cut badly - inches long with lengths of fat in it. My friend told me his noodles tasted "musty." When I asked for a Vietnamese coffee, that horrid woman said to us, "Oh, it's too strong for her." My friend said, "No, it's not. She drinks a lot of coffee." He said to me, "I get the intense feeling that she doesn't want us here." Racism perhaps? I wonder if other non-Vietnamese have been treated similarly. She was rude to us the entire time we were there. The food was horrible. The service was horrible. That woman's attitude was one of the worst I have ever witnessed in a server. I was going to leave a very small tip, but my friend shook his head so I didn't leave any tip. We won't ever be going back to that awful little place with that morose, unfriendly server. Judging from the reviews, she will never change her attitude. I just looked at a great many of the 1-star negative reviews, and all of them seem to be written by customers with non-Vietnamese names. Again, perhaps racism is the problem with her.

I’m giving this place 1 star… I was so excited that i found a pho spot that I loved.. today I found a strait hair in my noodles. The woman looked at my hair (extremely curly) and scoffed at me. I received no apology just pure attitude as if I don’t come in and tip 20+ percent every time. I don’t expect service when I come in - but if there’s a mistake OWN IT.

I was in North Vancouver for an appointment with my wife and father in law. I am vegetarian and they are meat eaters. I needed a place where we could all eat and was happily surprised to see Pho Spot offered vegetarian options. I saw many negative google reviews regarding the woman who runs the restaurant and I thought she can’t be that bad. Well I have no one to blame but myself this lady is very Kurt and rude. Perhaps it is a cultural thing I don’t know, but as long as the food is good I can usually overlook that. My veggie pho broth was more like water and had little to no flavour. The wontons my father in law order looked nothing like the photos. My wife had a vermicelli bowl with lettuce that had been previously frozen and had ice crystals in it. I love Vietnamese and have it least twice weekly in other locations. She pre-made the coffee in a large jug and added the sweet milk with the coffee cold. If you know this coffee you know it does not melt the condensed milk and tastes horrible when done like this. When we asked for it prepared the proper way she refused as we had already taken a sip. So I told her to pour ours down the drain $14 for two ice coffees. This was our first time here and it will be our last time here. I told her this and she really didn’t care. Doesn’t seem like the negative reviews affect this business still several customers. Also worse of all overpriced food lunch for three $86.63. I would have considered going back if she gave us some fresh coffees, but she was too cheap to correct her error. Loosing customers will cost you more in the long run than 2 coffees.

This can be a quick bite if u have dire need for pho. But if u r travelling and only have a few precious meals to spend on, dont come here.The beef is very rough, Very unseen in viet pho shops. I understand no good pho shop in north Van, but this is bad.I ordered 'P10' with tendon.....could not find it.... went to confirm with the keeper before starting on it. Was told it was there....... searched n searched, got traces of it as little as nail size.Ordered hot drip coffee, and was given with the thermos flask (in the pic), once opened the top, it got smudge as if a personally-used flask.The broth was tasty though.No service at all, and the keepers (?) looked and spoke fiercely.
Good pho for anyone with nice local vibes and wanting some deeper soup! Plenty of meat in Pho and the usual sauces and sides provided.
