We stopped here for dinner. Staff were friendly and the restaurant was busy. We both had Pho but we were disappointed in the broth which was not very flavourful and more like hot water. Noodles were OK although there were very few vegetables. Average at best.

Terrible food. We both ordered a noodle plate. The meal was nearly all COLD noodles, a pork patty that looked like canned spam and a salad of grated iceberg lettuce and carrots, no other veggies. The skewers were ok. We'll not return.

Overpriced? Check. Bland food with little extra care? Check. Abysmal customer service? Check. Do NOT bother going to that dump. Best to eat tree bark.

One of the worst pho that I've ever had. Customer service was really bad too. She probably said less than 10 words the whole time. TASTE: The pho was really bad. I think it may have been made with the tears of my ancestors. On a serious note, the pho seasoning was probably pre-packaged spices. Pho did not come with bean sprouts, mint leaves, basil leaves, and spices as usual even though they charged as though it would. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Really bad. Waiter said less than 10 words. Did not check up on us or ask if we wanted something to drink. AMBIENCE: Really plain. Words on the store front were all in different font. Half of the restaurant was closed off for no explained reason. LAST THOUGHTS: For some reason, this place has a 4 out of 5 stars. This may be because most people who rate it have not been to normal/decent pho restaurants. Trust me, you can get this pho out of a can. Don't waste your money or time. Bad places who stay consistently bad don't deserve to exist.

I would not recommend this place to anyone. Very poor service, waiter barely talked to us. I got the pho, and it was not worth spending money on. They did not give any toppings (mint, basil, jalepenos, bean sprouts). Do not come here if you are wanting to satisfy your pho or any vietnamese food craving.

It's just OK. I tried the deep fried spring roll and the chicken pho. The spring rolls were pretty tasty and fried to perfection in light wrappers however I prefer the traditional chicken and shrimp combo to pork (pork and fish sauce aren't the greatest combo IMO). The chicken Pho was greasy and salty and the broth had very little flavor. It was missing those spices which make it Pho instead of just chicken soup. Also the sad little plate of brownish bean sprouts should have been thrown out yesterday. Best to not serve them at all in that shape. Also missing was the fresh basil and lime wedge. But I'll give them a pass on the fresh veg which may be harder to come by in the Yukon. Bottom line, if you're desperate for Pho, give them a try but manage your expectations.

So good. Quick, very yummy and friendly service. What more do you need?
My friend and I both got #38, (steak, brisket & tripe) and we both thought it was great! It was a nice big bowl of pho which was delicious. The waitress was great as well. Good prices, and I would recommend eating here if you're driving on the Alaskan Highway.

I tried their special of the day, housemade BBQ Pork Pho, hubby had the Chicken Pho Ga, son had Duck Pho, and other son had Charbroiled Pork and Rice. All three pho were meh at best. Flavorless broth. Not much to add to it to make it better (no bean sprouts, no basil, no lime). The pork and rice combo was the best dish, but there wasn't much pork.

I've eaten here several times. It's our only Vietnamese restaurant so no other choices. Compared to Vietnamese food I've had in other cities the food is disappointing but we are so far away. The fish sauce is bland and too sweet, they don't serve the spring rolls with lettuce to wrap it and a few times the lemongrass chicken was made with the precooked chunks of chicken from the grocery store.

Probably the best pho in Whitehorse. Pretty flavourless broth. Had the steak and brisket. Generally speaking i always suggest the small sized soup, true to form, small was perfect.
Great food and everyone should try it
Yukon No.1 best delicious noodles❣
