  This pho place stands out in the North shore since they offer excellent food and service. It seemed that the restaurant is a family-run business and I've always had a great, fast service there, despite some reviews commenting on the bad service. I usually order pho noodles there, which is great. The size is not too big or small. Moreover, the hard fried spring rolls(not the soft one) are the best spring rolls I had, so I often go just for the spring rolls.
  
  Overall, it is a great restaurant with great food, which is also very wallet-friendly where the prices are either cheap or reasonable. 100% recommend!

  Not too bad I guess. Not great either. Still searching for that perfect vermicelli noodle bowl here on the North Shore. Saigon Pearl in Calgary is Still the best Vietnamese restaurant, so what's wrong with North Van???
   Okay, I had the bbq chicken noodle bowl. Wasn't bad, but like I said, not great either. I don't think I'd return here. I'll continue my search though.

  I really enjoyed the pho and spring rolls but the service was horrible.
  
  The food was average and the pho was better than other places but I just could not get over the quality of service.
  
  She didn't ask us if we wanted drinks had to tell her ourselves. They just expected us to know their menu and frown at us when we asked questions.
  
  When it came to pay she wasn't around we had to go to the counter to let them know we wanted to pay. She didn't check up on us at all during our meal.
  
  Decent food horrible service.

  The service is really good. Everyone was very nice and friendly. It's very cozy and family oriented. I was super impressed by the food and the smoothie I ordered. They use real fruit for their smoothies. The price is also very good for the portion and quality that you get. Definitely recommend this place and I'm going back for sure.

  Came here for the first time for lunch with my partner today. There's a really limited selection of places to eat pho on the North shore. We usually go to bun bon hua off lonsdale but as it's closed on sundays we chose to chance it and try this place out.
  
  It was busy when we arrived which seemed to be a good thing though actually it was deceptive.
  
  We ordered the spring rolls and both got a bun bo hue. The food took forever! I have no idea why because they have to do is drop the spring rolls in a fryer and then compose the dish with pre made ingredients.
  
  As you can see in the photos everything was below average. The spring rolls looked orange and were skinny. The pho had little toppings and the soup was NOT Spicy nor fragrant as evident by the colour of the soup. What a disappointment for bun bo hue. I even heard a guy at the next table complaining about the lack of toppings to the server. I had to add plenty of extra hot sauce. But that being said it was not disgusting and still edible.
  
  The man serving seemed to know many of the customers and was nice enough. The young girl working aside him seemed quite clueless. We asked for a glass of water and it never came as I continued to watch her doing other things. I asked a second time and still nothing. Finally I asked the man. She must've overheard as the water came a few minutes later.
  
  The reviews on this place were quite polarized so I felt I had to come myself to find out. I wouldn't come back. It's just not worth it no matter how much you crave pho and the slowness was shocking. I gave it three stars though that might even be generous.
