Four $15.99 weekday lunch specials (11am-4pm). - Mango smoothie ($4.00) - good mango flavour - Avocado smoothie ($4.00) - creamy - Pho sa te ($17.50 large) - satay broth was better but light on the peanut flavour - Pho hai san ($17.50 large) - didn't detect any hot or sour in the broth. Serviceable but unmemorable - Saigon style platter ($42.95) - four types of meat with grilled asparagus and salad. Betel beef and the grilled galangal pork were both delicious. Sausage and lamb skewers were okay

When it's busy, you need to be patient as it's only one person doing everything out front. I have tried two dishes here. The house pho was good and it was the most beautifully plated rare beef on the side. The lemongrass chicken with rice was decent too. I did like the banana coconut dessert which came with the lunch special. It was not overly sweet and was the perfect portion to round the meal. I didn't like that they charged $0.50 for the take out container which was not stated anywhere. They didn't tell me about the charge before hand too. Street parking is available. The rear parking has only two spots allocated to the restaurant.

This is my second Vietnamese restaurant I always like to go. The food always big portion and fresh.read more

We were to be in the area yesterday morning, and 'Pho Chan' had been pre-picked for our lunch…read morevenue. A much overdue return visit for us, and we were anxious to try their fine Vietnamese fare once again. We arrived about 10:20 am, selected a brightly-lit table along the long side of the restaurant, were greeted by the server as we seated, brought utensils and such, and glasses of hot tea. Service to our table remained courteous and friendly throughout our stay. Food ordered: - Appetizers: crispy pork spring rolls -- prawn salad rolls -- fried chicken wings -- fried fish fillets. - Vermicelli Bowls: grilled sliced beef, pork & spring roll vermicelli bowl. - Noodle Soup: wonton vermicelli noodle soup. The ordered dishes were nicely-sequenced from the kitchen to table, and presentations looking so appetizing. All ingredients -- from the various meats, shellfish & fish, veggies, noodles, to sauces, and broths/stocks -- well-prepared, and tasting so fresh and flavourful. Yeah, we really enjoyed our dining experience at Pho Chan, and were sure happy to have chosen to return once again.

We come here when we are in the area. They have pretty solid pho. We visited today after a bit of…read moreBoxing Day shopping and noticed they put a notice out for price increase. It is understandable with the increasing food prices. It wouldn't deter us from coming here :) $15-$16 a bowl is still cheaper than some pho places. I noticed that they changed their interior a bit. They put in more big round tables. As usual, we ordered their special pho that comes with everything! The brisket is braised and it's so good. The broth has nice deep flavor. The portion size is decent. I couldn't finished it myself. If they start serving bahnmi as well, that would be more than perfect.

Got the noodle soup combo with rare beef and tripe. It was delicious! Broth was light, not too oily…read moreand the spring roll was good. Came with a peach black tea which was also good. Went with my father for father's day and they gave a free dessert! Staff was sweet and we enjoyed our time there.

I've been seeing this place on instagram for awhile now so we decided to meet up at this place with…read moresome friends. We ordered the prawns with salted egg yolks. But the prawns were overcooked the salted egg yolks taste was barely there. And there were only 6 pieces of the shrimp. We also ordered the special crab soup. This dish was just ok for me. The soup was not as flavorful as what I was expecting. Finally we also ordered the Banh Hoi Platter. This was not bad it was filling for 2 people to share. This place was a miss for me the food is not worth going back for.

I'd seen B&D Authentic Viet Cuisine on my feed for a while and recently got to try it out ‍…read more We shared a house special beef pho and the spring rolls which came with lettuce (~$26 for entree and appetizer). The pho noodles were more on the flat thicker side compared to other pho places but the broth was quite light and savoury. The spring rolls were pretty bite size and standard I'd say! A solid spot with pretty fast service late at night, I liked the decor lighting.

I love that this restaurant serves nearly all vegan dishes. I ordered the combo with lemongrass…read morechicken with spring rolls and added the BBQ pork. I also substituted the rice for vermicelli. While I found the vegan meats to be super flavorful, I found that the fish sauce was extremely diluted. So much so that I had to use 2 containers worth of it for my dish. It was barely more flavorful than salted water. The springs rolls were tasty and had lots of filling. I have noticed that ever since the ownership has changed their portions have gotten smaller, but otherwise I really like grabbing food from this restaurant.

24/7 Spot along Kingsway - personally think it's better then the other 24/7 Pho/Vietnamese food…read morespots available in the area - however it's nothing to write home about - They have small - slightly awkward parking area along the side of the restaurant - you might find it easier to park along the side streets Servers here are honestly not attentive - they do not check on you what so ever - they'll drop off your tea/water if your lucky and then vanish until you wave them down - and then chase them down to pay your bill. Don't recall hearing any music while being here - however one time they had a staff member literally sleeping on one of the table booths - and you could hear them snoring. - not exactly the vibe you'd expect , however it was a late night adventure. There Fish sauce here is very very weak - I found it nearly tasteless , almost watery - and you'd need to use excessive amounts. Food Quality varies here - sometimes very tasty - other times you have regrets. - The vermicelli bowls are pretty safe, however again hit or miss with the marinated meat quality and quantity -

Being that they are in a freestanding building, they have their own free parking. Its been so long that we dined in anywhere so this may be a factor in my rating. Ordered my standards here. Super fast service, large portions (tho the 3 shrimp was a tad skimpy) and reasonable prices. Fresh fruit smoothies that weren't too sweet. It was comforting and a quiet time, which we enjoyed.
