I didn't think the Vietnamese food would be authentic in Squamish but it was much better than I expected. The original pho had a clean broth taste. Wasn't heavy, which I prefer. The spicy pho was not as spicy as I expected, but the chili oil they provided made up for it! I think they use fresh peppers in the oil which gave it a kick. Our server was so kind and easy to talk to. Was complimenting his sauce and he was very happy :)

They were fresh and the peanut sauce was delicious. The rolls did lack basil though, 4/5. For main, I had the shrimp vermicelli bowl.

Yes, the bowl of noodles was on the high end, but you have a large bowl and good amount of meat for the house special. In that respect, it makes up for the price. I am also surprised that the soup was surprisingly rich, and did not feel like they cut corners (I hope). It was on the oily side but I feel that is a good sign that they used real bones, instead of a spice packet or flavour packet instead. It's a small place but it was "busy" for 7 PM on a Wednesday. Still, there was no wait so thats always a plus in my books.

An absolute gem in Nanaimo!…read more upon the recommendation of a very good buddy, on my way to tofino, i passed by nanaimo for a hearty lunch in this family owned Vietnamese restaurant. Staff and owner very hospitable and welcoming! never in my wildest imagination did i expect to find excellent Vietnamese food the city of Nanaimo. this restaurant puts many Vancouver restaurants to shame. Their level of dedication to their craft is admirable and impressive. For appys...We started with fried wontons and the beef roll. My on my, the wontons were crispy-liciously goood! They were not your typical chinese fried wontons...the wrapper is paper thin and had a yellowish colour. And its because they used the spring roll wrapper to make It, making it super extra crispy. The pork filling was hot and juicy. Seasoned perfextly With a touch of cumin. One bite, and you will be in wonton heaven. the beef roll was truly a unique masterpiece. Whoever thought of putting a friend spring roll inside a salad roll and enveloping it with grill beef is a total genius!! You get a plethora of different textures and flavour profiles. With every bite, you get crunchiness of the spring roll, smokiness of the grilled beef, green leafy vegetables, and juiciness of the pork filling...all rolled into 1 roll! How could you possibly go wrong? Its a masterpiece like that of the mona lisa! We also tried the beef curry. Succulent pieces of beef slowly simmered rich thai curry sauce, Complimented by soft jasmine rice. Not a vietnamese dish, but executed with perfection. Curry was rich and robust. Quality coconut Milk and curry paste was used. Now..unto the pho!!! the ultimate test of an excellent Vietnamese restaurant is the PHO. More specifically, the PHO Broth! the PHo here is nothing short of spectacular! You can tell bec of 3 important factors. One, the aroma. Two, the clarity of the soup ( aka i how clear is it). And three, the taste! ( how deep the beef essence is!) This place exceeded expectations and passed with full flying colours! One sip of the broth, reminded me of vietnam. It was absolutely amazing! Head and shoulders above many restaurants in vancouver. Plus, no msg was used. We never felt Thirsty or craving tea. I could tell there was a lot of time, labour, and love invested into making the broth. No shortcuts! Just sheer excellence from chef. I feel very blessed to have been a patron of such fine vietnamese cuisine. Definitely a must try when in the city of Nanaimo. Service was quick and efficient. Will i repeat? As many times as i can! ;) Cheers! Happy eating!

Finding a decent restaurant serving this personal favourite is always a find, and it's good to know we now have a go-to for pho in Chemainus. As usual, I started with salad rolls ($5 for two) to really get my rice noodle fix, and these were delicious, perhaps the best I've had. The pho with rare beef ($9.50 or $2 more for large) was good, but I've had better. The stock had good flavour and there was plenty of thinly sliced beef. However, the accompanying jalapeño peppers didn't give it the kick I usually look for with red Thai chilies, and the cilantro leaves, which I'd never seen offered before, were left on the plate since I prefer the soup with basil leaves. For my taste, the peppers and basil are key to my enjoyment of this fantastic soup. Friendly service. This is a lunch destination for tour buses, so expect a possible wait and a loud crowd during tourist season.
