Review from Kristina C.

I've been here twice now, and both times have been a good experience.
The BBQ lemon grass chicken on rice was delicious and very flavourful.
The pho is great as well, and they offer a good choice of meat, tripe, tendons etc. They even have quail egg, which my dad was quite happy about as this is not a common item on many pho menus. The broth was tasty, and while it doesn't necessarily taste too MSG-y, I did feel very thirsty after eating here, so there's gotta be some in the broth (but that's pretty standard for pho).
Prices are good: $6 for a small, $6.70 for a large. -

I was surprised to find a pho joint here. So there was only 1 thing to do.
Parking here can get a bit crowded if you go during meal hours. So I would suggest going a bit later or earlier, depending on your mood.
The interior is painted lime green (it's all about the tacky interiors), but the place is quite spacious.
The waitress was quite nice, and I appreciated how she checked on us every few minutes.
The beef flank and beef ball pho I had was tasty. The noodles were a bit on the firm, and the beef slices were nice and raw. The meatballs were also free of gristle. Score 3 points.
There are several pho joints in this town, but this place does hold its own. -

You know those John Woo or Chow Yun-Fat asian gangster movies, where there's usually a scene at some dumpy asian noodle restaurant where the plainclothes cops go for lunch and then a van of thugs show up and do a drive-by shooting and kill everyone there except for the smart hero cop who ducks through the back door, passes through an illegal mahjong joint, trips over a curtain into an asian massage parlour and then hides behind a dumpster. So, this is that restaurant. You definitely want to sit somewhere with a clear view of the entrance and windows and an emergency exit point.
The owner/manager/server doesn't talk. I didn't see him say a single word the entire time I was there. He looks and he nods. He takes your order, gets your food, summarizes your bill, hands you your change. No conversation. There's a headphone in his right ear, but I don't know if he's actually listening to anything or if its there in case his cell phone rings. Maybe the cops are on the way.
The decor is a pasty, ugly green. The row of mirrors on the side wall remind me of the one way windows at police interrogation rooms.
The food is cheap and plentiful. You don't come here for sophisticated delicacies. The flavors here pack a punch. The large noodle bowl is probably a litre and a half of soup, noodles, and meat. The amount of sliced raw beef you get is probably twice as much as what you get at most other restaurants for the same price.
I didn't get that thirsty after the meal, so I don't think there's that much msg in the food. I will try the lemongrass rice dishes next time.
This place serves a particular craving for pho. Not necessarily the classy, French-inspired Maenam kind, but the lowdown, hole in the wall, rough and tumble, street food version. -
Review from Neal E.
Craving Pho again, was looking for something fairly close to the Marriott Hotel and I found this.
I ordered a large Pho Ga and the fresh garden rolls. Instead, they brought me an order of the fried rolls - AFTER the Pho was brought to my table. What Pho place does that?
I ate the rolls instead of complaining, as I was hungry - they were good, just not what I ordered, and they should have been delivered to my table BEFORE the Pho!
The Pho came out, steaming, very dark broth. I'm actually not sure if I was served a chicken broth or a beef broth - the flavor was so unremarkable - I could not tell. The broth did have a darker color/tint to it than most chicken-based broths - but that is not a definitive determination as to which kind of broth it was.
The plate of aromatic/veggies was missing jalapeños, so I had to asked for some. They brought me a small bowl of diced jalapeños - first time I've seen them diced up like that. I dumped the entire quantity into my Pho, as well as adding the bean sprouts, lime, and Basil.
I ate most of the bowl, mostly because I was starving, not because it was a great bowl of Pho Ga - it was a rather average bowl of Pho Ga. The broth needs work. No real rich depth and complexity of flavor to the broth.
Service was very good and prompt. -
Review from Vincci L.
Vietnamese ham is awesome, and so is Vietnamese coffee.
We came here with some friends that suggested this place. I didn't even know there was a pho place here. Apparently they're the same one that was on Ackroyd, but have since moved here to this newer location.
It's not a very big space, seats about 35 people or so. The place is clean, and the strong aroma of Vietnamese food flows through the room.
One thing I noticed about this place was their low prices. It seems as though every other pho place in Richmond have since increased their prices, having me pay $ for a lemongrass chicken on rice. Here? It's $6.50.
Because of the cold weather, I decide to have a bowl of noodles instead. A large Vietnamese ham pho noodle, with a ice Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk.
Food came out quickly and I devoured my bowl of noodles. It was delicious-the soup wasn't salty at all, and it didn't taste like it had MSG. The iced coffee was also great-strong espresso coffee, with the smooth condensed milk, poured over ice-mmmm, so good.
I think this is my new favourite pho spot in Richmond! -

There are many many places for Vietnamese noodles in Richmond, and this place is one of the better ones.
Typical menu with the dinner types of beef combinations to choose from with your noodles, side orders, rice dishes and Vietnamese beverages.
The food came quickly after we ordered (as like all other pho places) with a choice of cooked or raw beansprout condiments. The sauces, chopsticks, and spoons were clean. The soup was delicious, it tasted like it was made raw without added MSG. The noodles were made perfectly, not too soft, not too hard. The meat wasn't bad either. The only negative was that the amount of noodles and meat in the small and large was the same. Only the bowl grew and was charged for more.
This place is good! Slightly cheaper than most too :)Listed in: Neighbourhood Gem

Excellent Pho noodle restaurant. The broth was delicious with no MSG and rich in flavor. Brisket was nice and juicy. Good attentive service. Best Pho in Richmond in my opinion
