The chicken came on the side and was a bit small, but for the price it's expected. I ordered the small bowl, which was only $16. The chicken had good flavour and the pho broth had flavour but still tasted clean. I would come back to try their other dishes.

Pho place among a cluster of businesses on Hastings by Warwick (E of Holdom)…read more Parking is plentiful on Hastings, as well as the side streets. Place looks pretty cheery with the crimson walls. Bit of a cluttered feel though. Staff are friendly. No complaints. I had the pho dac biet (house special pho). To be honest it was pretty run of the mill and mediocre. Beef balls, some brisket and tendon chunks, and beef slices. The beef slices are frozen onto sheets and arranged in a pretty flower pattern. Not sure if this is a good thing, as I imagine this means the beef isn't freshly sliced. Broth was also nothing special. Honestly nothing really stuck out here. It's an option for sure, but there are better ones in the surrounding area.

The employee who was working there (the son of the owner I believe) was super friendly with us and chatted up a nice conversation with us. My partner got their house special pho and I got the rice with grilled lemongrass chicken & minced pork patty and we both were very very happy with out dishes. The fish sauce was strong and salty, it paired well with the rice. The meats were super packed with flavour, especially the lemongrass chicken which was chef's kiss!! All in all, good prices for a good amount of food, good amount of seating and great service (Y).

Pho Zen isn't the kind of place you stumble into for ambiance. It's a literal hole in the…read morewall--tables tilted just enough to make your soup slide, and the décor looks like the ghosts of failed restaurants past all left something behind. But you don't come here for design. You come here because the food is honest and brings back a bit of nostalgia to my Uni-Year. No Instagram plating, no carefully curated vibes, just steaming bowls of pho that taste like a student's comfort meal - heavy on the MSG, light on the pretense, and exactly what your soul remembers from the broke days - how it got from $5/bowl to $20/bowl these days says student me wouldn't even have this nowadays! Sad. Anyways, the broth has that deep, unmistakable beef flavour that borders on artificial, but in the best nostalgic way. You slurp, you sweat, you leave happy. AND don't linger--parking's a nightmare, and the next hungry soul deserves your spot. This isn't a place to be seen, nor looking for service with a glorious smile; It's a place to eat and get your butt gone. Cheers.

This hidden restaurant is next to the 711, in a mini mall on SE marine drive (and Fraser street)…read more The reason why I think it's a great spot is its reasonable prices (prices you likely haven't seen in years as it seems Vietnamese cuisine and food in general have gotten more expensive). Is it the best pho of my life? No, but I've had their BBH and pho, spring rolls, and banh mi (chicken) and the food is fairly priced and the taste is decent. I'm not sure if I'd drive out of my way to have good here; however if you are already in the area it's worth dining in/try take out! This is a perfect spot for a quick bite to eat or take out. Service is friendly but limited (there is usually only one server and the kitchen staff sometimes helps run and clear food items). You don't come here for the ambiance (you can tell it was formerly a Greek restaurant due to its decor- but who cares lol). It's about the food and fair prices (which is rare in today's economy).

Overall, the food was just very mediocre. The broth was decent but definitely not the most flavorful one I've had. Additionally, some of the beef pieces were a bit too chewy for my liking.

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.

I wish the servers were a bit more attentive to seating guests as we had to push our tables together for a group of 3 and it was a bit difficult to flag someone down after we were seated to order and pay. Prices were reasonable. The portions were generous, especially for the special vermicelli. You can order a regular or large pho, which I appreciated. The broth had a yellowish tint to it, and maybe a hint of curry, which was unusual but not unwelcome. Their best appetiser is definitely the chicken wings. We also tried the lemongrass chicken salad roll, which was good but not memorable. Paid parking lot next to it and paid street parking.
