Not our first trip, and for good reason. The food is excellent. On this trip, we had turmeric noodles and bun bo hue. The turmeric noodle dishes was cooked perfectly and they were more than generous with the chicken. The bun bo hue had a generous amount of beef and the spice level was just right. Salad rolls were wrapped tightly and tasted super good. Very fresh! The young man who served us was kind and made sure to ask about the quality of the food and if we needed anything else. Atmosphere is rather nice, as the high ceiling and decore really makes it feel warm and homey. Will continue to support this Vancouver gem.Kid-friendliness: Bring the kids!
Super friendly and nice! Love the atmosphere and food is always 10 out of 10. My favorite is definitely the Vietnamese chicken curry.

How did I just realize this restaurant just now??? This place is very authentic Vietnamese dish. I order the Mì Quảng. OH MY GOSH CHEF KISS. FLAVORFUL broth. SO GOOD that I can't even explain it. It is a little bit spendy but they put a lot of of topping in it to make worth it.

Excellent pho/soup spot! They also have a variety of appetizers & other noodle & rice dishes. We stopped in for lunch on a Monday and they weren't busy. We shared an order of crispy rolls, which were tasty & full of protein & veggies (some places skimp on the protein in this type of roll, but not here!). I had the turmeric noodle soup & the Hubs had the wonton soup, and both were so delicious and full of the ingredients, we left stuffed (and again they did not skimp on the proteins). I only wish they offered a small & large option for their pho/soup because the portions are beyond generous and the two of us could have easily shared just one bowl and still left full (this is a general observation since many pho spots don't offer size/portion options). The inside was very clean, and simply decorated with real houseplants in each of the windowsills adding a nice touch. The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is due to the service. Our server was very nice, and the food came out quick, but he only checked in with us once shortly after the food came and then he never came back. I was debating on taking leftovers home but since he never came back we didn't. We were done eating and waited 10 minutes, but still nothing. We know he could see us from his perch at the register, and eventually the Hubs motioned to him to get his attention and asked if we could have the check. That's when he said we can just come up to the register when we're ready to pay, so it would have been nice if he had mentioned that earlier. All in all we will definitely be back for dine-in or carry out, and there are a number of other dishes on the menu we want to try.
Great service, very polite gentleman helping out front. Had a small mistake with my order (my fault) but even with a busy dining room he got it all figured out quickly. Food was awesome as well. Definitely will be returning!

This place rules! Really good pho with such flavorful broth. Vermicelli is amazing. Try the Vietnamese crepe, it's great and I haven't seen it anywhere else. Or you know, don't come here because it will mean I get it all to myself.

The broth for the beef pho is not usually greasy, once in a while it is. But, it has always has great flavor, not sweet. I'm pretty particular about my soup and this place is my go to.

The Kien Giang fish noodle was a revelation. The broth was rich and flavorful, with just the right balance of spices. The fish was perfectly cooked, tender, and flaky, while the noodles were spot on - not too soft and not too firm. This dish truly showcases the culinary skills of the chefs at Pho Star. It's a must-try for anyone looking to experience a taste of Vietnam right here in Vancouver.What sets Pho Star apart is not only their outstanding food but also their warm and welcoming staff. The service was exceptional, and they were more than happy to explain the menu and provide recommendations for those new to Vietnamese cuisine.

We have eaten here several times. The food has always been very good. However, today we ordered salad rolls and crispy rolls take out. When we got home began to eat. First bite of one of the salad rolls, a very long piece of hair came out with a bite. Disgusting!
