I've eaten a lot of hot and seafood seafood pho at different restaurants around Vancouver, and this is probably the worst one. The noodles were undercooked and clumped together. The shrimp was not fresh and I actually ended up spitting it out. Don't think I'll be back. read more

Been here a few times now. Crowded at lunch time! The banh mi baguettes are always toasted perfectly and the deep fried spring rolls always a hit. Older son tried them for the first time this evening and I'm so pleased he enjoyed them! Younger son tried chicken wings and loved them so now we know what to order next time when we bring the kids. Staff was very friendly, and Linh has an amazing memory for all the things we ordered and didn't need to write any of it down! Took a lot of our food home. Portions are big. read more

Pho 99 - Banh mi with grilled pork - Vietnamese Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

My VERY FIRST TIME at a Pho place. I don't eat beef or pork but they have vegetarian options. Quick, fast service, priced accordingly. Located in a strip mall setting- ample parking. Food so good- took home #16 for my daughter. read more

Pho 99 might be my favourite pho spot. It doesn't necessarily make the most unique pho or rice plates, but any dish you get there is so reliably good and consistent for incredible value. There's also not many places you can get the ice bean dessert (the equivalent of malaysian chendol). Pho99 is a great go-to safe choice because the food is just so classically tasty (I'm not trying to explore, i just want something comforting and delicious). read more

Pho 99 - Bean based dessert - Vietnamese Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

A friend of mine brought me to Pho 99 as my first ever visit. I didn't know that it was a chain and that this is his favourite location. I ordered my usual simple order of rice noodle soup with no toppings. It was simple, yet flavourful. It was so delicious! Pho is the best on cold rainy nights! Customer service was attentive, even when they were packed! I really enjoyed my dining experience here. I'll come back again! read more

This place has the worst service. Doesn't matter if you dine in or out. They suck. Tried to give them another chance today and ordered delivery. My one request is to have the raw meat packaged separately from the noodles. Not a big deal. But they won't even do that. I dont know about you, but I don't like blood in my noodles. read more

Salad and fried rolls are a must. Our few favs and regular are no 1, 3, 11 and 67. Rare steak, beef brisket, rare steak and tripe and chicken lemongrass with sunny side up eggs and rice. Those will never disappoint us ever! read more

We used to come here a lot. On a weekly basis type of - a lot. Then something changed one day. As if the place changed owners -nope, just that all the wait staff all quit all 5-6 of them. Quite drastic. There was a bit of struggle hence onward regarding service. Before then, this joint was lively and vibrant. We got to know the servers and the cooks. Their hobbies and musical interests. Was a bit crazy when they all left at the same time. They might not have said it, the work must have been difficult, I bet. Anyways I digress. The food here is alright not gourmet. It is everydayness quality without really contemplating refinement like Little Minh for example. If this joint was a student, she/he is a C+ student. Does enough to get by. Not doing anything extraordinary trying to snag an A. Still would recommend it as a fast meal. read more

We were in the Pinetree Village area of Coquitlam for some personal business the other day, and when finished, lunch was definitely in order. We saw Pho 99 nearby, so handy, decided to give it a try. Walked in about 11 am, liked how we were greeted, what we saw, and headed to the table directly in front of the service counter. Service was good -- our server brought hot tea (pot and mugs) and menus quickly (a large placemat type showing all offerings, and a small one of lunch specials), and provided some needed help with ordering. What we (a threesome) ordered and shared -- 'Combo A' - a lunch special of rice w/pork, large (beef) pho, and two spring rolls -- and added an order of chicken wings. Our food order came from the kitchen to table in a timely manner - except for one minor 'wrinkle' in the serving sequence. We had hoped to see the wings first, as a sort of appetizer, but they arrived last, and well after everything else - almost wings for dessert - ok, but not expected. Servings were well-sized, and all arrived looking good. The dishes were well-prepared, ingredients plentiful, and nicely and distinctly flavoured. Pho -- broth warm and tasty, beef (two kinds) tender, and juicy, vermicelli noodles cooked perfectly, condiments fresh, and crisp. Spring rolls -- warm, large, crispy coatings, and well-stuffed with tasty ingredients. Rice & pork -- pork warm, well-seasoned, very tasty, salad cool, fresh, and crisp, rice warm and good. Chicken wings -- warm, large, plump, nicely-seasoned coatings, tender and moist chicken. All accompanying sauces flavourful and tasty. We enjoyed our lunch at Pho 99 -- small place, rather quiet ambiance, friendly staff, good service, and well-prepared food. It really did turn out to be what we were looking for, and sure hit the spot after a rather active and busy morning. read more

Love this place for pho! This is the only pho 99 location that lets me order the kids size which is the perfect size for me. The taste of their pho is always perfect. Their spring rolls are to die for and always served piping hot. The only downside to this restaurant is they can sometimes be very busy with a line out the door. They'll also sometimes seat two groups on the same table. read more

Pho 99 is a Vietnamese chain restaurant in the lower mainland, I'm one not to be a big fan of chain restaurants but I do enjoy Pho 99. It's my go to. They're pretty consistent and fast. I go to this location during my lunch break. Always busy and staff are friendly, they can be loud at times but I just imagine myself in Vietnam somewhere, not understanding the language around me. I'm not big on Pho, I generally order vermicelli with lemon grass pork or chicken with spring rolls. Very filling and for under $11 you cant beat it. I'm usually in and out within 20 minutes. Overall, I like this place and I will be back! read more

Best pho place in the tri cities & really good service if you're friendly to start off with! Like any other place. They only lack bringing refills of water sometimes but for the most part I love this place and it's my go to! read more

I love the chicken wings here! I'm not s big fan of pho but my parents and bro like having pho here. Back to the wings. It's friend chicken and they include a seasoning that has the right amount of saltiness and flavour. It really adds to the chicken wings. The service is good and the food comes out fast. I also order the fried rolls here. They are ok I have had better. If you ever crave chicken wings definitely try it here! read more

Pho 99 used to be my favorite place because of its good food and service. I visited pho 99 once two weeks.But today I visited again and totally disappointed with their service. The waitress is rude and told us three should order 3 adult dish instead of sharing. She said otherwise we can order to go.So surprised about that!I don't like this "rule" and her attitude.I noticed it's not the peak time and several tables are empty. read more

Pho 99 - Vietnamese Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

The pho is fine but the service is beyond awful. I placed an in-person take-out order for two beef pho. When the items were ready I was flagged by the staff member, who was on the phone, to take my order. When I arrived at home I realized I had received two order of beef broth only so I called the restaurant to advise them of the error. Rather than offer to correct the error by providing the missing beef and noodles I was told the mistake was mine and to point my order from the menu next time. The staff member then proceeded to hang up the phone. Talk about insult to injury... and I had even tipped on my take-out order! read more

I usually get the noodles with eye round steak, beef tendon, tripe, brisket and or flank. I put a lot of sriracha on everything. Sometimes there are waits but the service today was extremely fast within 2-5 minutes. I end up completely drenched in sweat when I'm finished eating. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CcR81GlUEAEUTKT.jpg read more

Pho 99 - Vietnamese Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

Lets keep Pho rating plain and simple. Just as good Pho is. Broth - good and tasty Noodles - chewy like it should be Meat - lots of meat. docked a star because some of the meat is super fatty, and they should really not serve that fatty slabs. Cause just looking at it is gross. Good thing that this isn't a common thing tho. Portions - decent and filling Sauces - plenty of sauces right on the table for your hotflashing desires. Try their sandwiches! They are delicioius and only $3.50 A 99. Just short of a 100. Not the best Pho I've had, but a darn pho-ing good one! read more

This is a fairly clean Pho restaurant and the food came within 5 minutes of ordering. I was worried that it wouldn't be piping hot, but indeed it was. The prices were a smidge higher than other places, but their portions are also bigger. I had the #14, which is the Pho noodle soup with rare beef slices, brisket, tendon and tripe. The broth was not too dark with the taste still there. Service without any attitude and tons of parking. Not bad Coquitlam, not bad at all. read more

Looked like a lineup for a full house on a Sunday. But we were seated right away and noticed they were quickly moving dishes and people through. Small place with a homey feel in a strip mall. Very tight to move around and the washrooms were surprisingly clean. I had a large bowl of pho which had plenty of meat and tripe. My kid had a sub which was very good he said. read more

Good service and attitude. Pretty clean but quite dark in there. Quite a few options and alright prices. Good tasting and clean water. Love the pho really good, appetizers are alright but the pho is quite worth it in my opinion. A parking lot outside and bus stops and skytrain stations at walking distance. At the corner so not too hard to find. read more

I liked the soup, but the noodles were a little undercooked. Nonetheless, it was pretty good just wish the servers could be kinder from time to time read more

Missed order items are not refunded or replaced. Check out the reviews. I'm not the only one that this has happened to!

This location is pretty dark and rundown looking, but the pho has been consistently good over the years. While I have watched prices go from $6.75 to almost $10 for a small bowl of pho, I still like to give them my business because all these years they've managed to maintain a competitive edge over some of the other local establishments with generous portions at a reasonable price. They definitely put in a lot more protein than the average shop, so great for meat lovers! The broth is generally really flavourful. In the off chance, it's sometimes a little on the greasier side, but still overall good for my liking. Service is pretty average, but I also don't choose to go to pho restaurant for top notch service. read more

staff is unfriendly. I rather go someplace where they are happy to have me as a customer. They give you dirty looks if you ask for napkins or water read more

Came with a group of people. They found seats for us and we didn't have to wait a long time. The service was good and the food, especially soup phone, comes real quick. The portions were huge, which we ordered one large ($10 + tax) and shared between two people. The soup was really tasty and their chicken wings were really crispy and flavorful too. read more

November 17, 2016 Literally the worst food I have had. My boyfriend came home from work at 930pm, and suggested pho. We saw this place was open late and decided to give it a go. We arrived at 1025 and were never greeted. A server dropped menus on the table and kept walking. She later returned with water.... Never asked if we wanted anything else to drink, and when I ordered the lemingrass chicken and fried roll vermicelli bowl, she said "no more fried roll" I laughed and said "okay. Ill just be one more minute". The response I got was "you know the kitchen is closing right". So I politely asked for "just two seconds I swear" and she ran off to wherever. After a minute she came back and asked for our order looking exasperated. We ordered two salad rolls to start, my boyfriend ordered a simple small beef soup, and I got the prawn and lemongrass chicken vermicelli. After 4 minutes my boyfriends soup came. After 10 minutes, the appy came. I was served my mean at 10:55. It was oily, flavorless, even after I had dosed it with hoisin, and chili oil....the salad rolls were loose and also flavorless... And after about 10 minutes of eating I gave up. I was starting to feel physically ill. No one came to quality check us, no one even dropped a bill. When we went to the desk to pay, whoever was talking our money asked how everything was. We said "you know. Really not great. The food was sub par and the service was awful. We are very dissapointed." and I added "I feel kind of sick acctually." He responded in kind with " huh. Sorry. 23.85" I will call in the morning to see if anyone at all that works there gives a shit, but never in my 30 years of eating out have I ever been so dissapointed. Ever. I would give them negative stars if I could. UPDATE: Upon arriving home, I threw up. Did not make me feel better. I still feel sick. read more

I love the food here. We always have pho, of course, and it is delicious. I have had the beef and the vegetarian and have enjoyed both. We have also had a few chicken and rice dishes and have been happy, as well as the Vietnamese subs. The ambience isn't great, nor is the service, the waitresses all look miserable and never, ever, ever bring the meals at the same time or in any sort of logical order, though this seems to be common of Vietnamese restaurants...no big deal. The prices are great though, and the portions are perfect. It's always fairly busy, so clearly lots of people enjoy the food. Go for the food or take away...yum! read more

This has been our go-to family Pho place for over 10 years. They have watched two of our children grow up as we eat there or pick up 2-3 times a month. We love it. However, we have noticed an unwelcoming decline over the last year. The staff is not friendly, the restaurant is not organized and the broth has been hit or miss. There is a change- was it ownership? did they fire the staff and hire people who just don't care?! We were last in on Monday, and I really think it will be our last time- we didn't have utensils or condiments at our table. They gave our family of 5 2 napkins (all napkin dispensers have been removed from the tables), I don't know who you have to be to get served tea or water but we certainly weren't them- i'm guessing its because we interrupted their dinner? (two servers were on the floor with mouths full of food) We will be giving pho51 by PoCo Walmart a shot on our next family pho night signed ~2 Lg #1, sm #1 , #60 2 salad rolls & a chicken sub. updated: I couldn't let it go, so I called them just now and told the person answering the phone all of my concerns. They really don't care at all- and until you tell someone they're doing a bad job they do not have the opportunity to fix it- please complain directly to them if you have also felt let down by them. read more

Oh was this place every good! Just a small hole in the wall really but man do they serve a great bowl of pho. I ordered the Dinner special. It comes with a large bowl of Pho, lemongrass pork chop ,rice and 2 spring rolls. ALl this for $17...not too shabby! Broth was light yet flavourful! Meat was lean, veggies were crisp.What more can you ask for? The lemongrass pork chop was cooked so nicely! The flavours were spot on. I didn't even need the Fish sauce... The spring roll was very tasty, Crunchy exterior with good moist filling. Not greasy at all! I'm thinking about the food right now...I am drooling contemplating going there in the next couple days...Gosh darnit..Food Boner! ha ha read more

Food comes quicker than McDonalds. Is that possible? At this Pho 99 it is. Our favorite Pho resturant right now in the tri cities but we want the VIP treatment. I'm talking about the "Hellooooooooooooo! How are youuuuuuuuuu?" We are there enough to be treated like regulars by now lol. If not, then just more fatty brisket. Btw, I had their Vietnamese sub today and it was a hit. As the French would say, tres bien indeed! read more

I always have the chicken pho here and the chicken wings. The pho broth is flavourful and contains juicy pieces of slices chicken thigh. Chicken wings were crunchy and tasty. Hubby had the lemongrass chicken with deep fried spring roll vermicelli bowl and declared it absolutely delish. Worth the trip to Coquitlam. read more

What was once our regular Pho-to Vietnamese restaurant is ruined by horrible staff. Rude servers who make fun of the clientèle in plain sight is not acceptable...and have no place in a service industry that serves food. We were so surprised to receive this kind of treatment after going there faithfully and tipping very well for years. We over looked sticky floors..tables..walls..general uncleanliness and disrepair (bathrooms were never in clean working order and always had to go to Chapters)..and just considered it to be part of the charm of warm comfort food. The truth is there is nothing comforting about this restaurant, their food or the people that work here. Pho99 is a chain..so not exactly family secret recipes. The next time we have a craving for Pho we'll swing over to the next plaza and try PhoHoa...I think there are 4 other alternatives near by. Don't come to this location. If you've never been its not woth trying. If you've been before and are still reading reviews about this place...follow your instincts and pick a new Pho place. read more

Had a chance to check out this Pho establishment in Coquitlam while I was there on the weekend. I was pretty hesitatnt, as I've said before I rather enjoy my home-made Pho but when you're not home you have to find somewhere else to eat at! They had a very delicious broth, not too over-powering, the beef was sliced perfectly and the beef balls were a great size too. We also ordered some spring rolls and you only get 2 per plate but they are 2-3 x the size of normal spring rolls so I suppose it works out the same. The employees there were always looking over to see if we needed anything and that's always a plus when eating at a Vietnamese restaurant. Definitely would go there again. read more

I'm amazed at how fast the service is. I just walked in, placed my order, then went to wash my hands. When I returned to my table, the plate of garnishes and a pot of tea were waiting for me. After a couple more minutes, my pho soup arrived. I was hungry so I devoured it. As far as pho goes, the meat and noodles were better than the other reviewers have said. But the soup wasn't as rich and thick as I'm used to pho being. And it wasn't very hot either (double edged sword: too hot burns your tongue, not hot enough doesn't cook the meat. Fortunately it was hot enough to cook the raw meat.) I also ordered a plate of deep fried spring rolls. Those were amazing. Larger than I'm used to, full of meat, and very tasty. The hostess and wait staff (they perform double duty) are friendly and cheerful. And they have a new computerized POS system so they gave me a copy of my receipt (also unlike an earlier review.) This is my second time here. I'll keep returning to eat and revise this review if they keep improving. read more

They have the best pho in the area... but their rice plates - the pork was 1/2 fat... (and inedible) and actually their portions have been shrinking over time IMO again, the noodles are the best in the area.. but the rice plates are worst in the area :( which balances out to ~ 3stars This is the place that I go to when I crave for the pho noodles on cold rainy days (as opposed to Pho Hoa nearby) but the rice plates have been disappointing every time btw, they are a bit pricier than Pho Hoa & other Pho places too read more

Ordered the lemongrass chicken and shrimp today, along with 5 other vermicelli bowls for our work inventory day. Pretty dang yummy. I also had the cold Vietnamese coffee which hit the sweet spot. Everything was made fresh and fast for such a big order and the place was filled to capacity when we picked up at lunch too. Service is also usually friendly. Only thing I can't stand are their super greasy, oily floors. I don't know what the hell they're using to clean it (or hopefully they are cleaning it!) but it's so slippery all the time. Still hate their shared parking lot. read more

Had lunch here today. Not impressed. Their lemon grass chicken was not flavourful unlike Delicious Pho restaurant a few blocks away. The soup base was not tasty. Neither was the durian smoothie. Not enough durian. Price higher than Delicious Pho. Not impressed. read more

Unfortunately I can't review the food because I only ever get the Lemongrass Chicken and Noodles +/- the salad rolls. I don't like to try new things. HOWEVER - the 2 I get are DELICIOUS. Large portions, delicious, service is PROMPT, even when they are smoking busy. Place is always full, but ample seating and atmosphere is casual and place is never too loud. Staff are always friendly and polite. One lady remembered me after my FIRST visit, and even if months go by, if she answers the phone when I order she REMEMBERS ME!! HOW??? AND she always remembers what I want. And I always customize it and she remembers that too! So crazy. Highly recommend this place. From what I hear about the OTHER dishes (from friends I go with) they are also delicious. Never had a complaint. Also the tea they serve for free is really good. I'm so hungry now.... wish I had a plate right now! read more
