    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.

    Pho in Vancouver! Might as well start my Canadian provinces quest to eat Pho in all 13 provinces & territories in Canada. ^_^ It all starts with Vancouver and you could say that I just kicked off my Canadian spree with a nice bowl of Pho for dinner. Here I was in north Vancouver and there was a Vietnamese restaurant down the street from my hotel, so I decided to chill out and have dinner here on my 1st night in Vancouver on 04/30/15. Pho Garden was a quintessential Vietnamese restaurant that prides itself on good quality Vietnamese cuisine. All I wanted was a great bowl of Pho to kick off my adventures in Vancouver. The ambiance of this restaurant that night was quite quiet and reserved. I would say that the service here was kind of slow, but I didn't really care much, since I was close to my hotel, on vacation, and not in a hurry. I ordered the combination Pho, which they call it something entirely different here, and shrimp summer rolls. The overall experience ended up being a mixed bag, but the food was good and delicious. To my amazement, it was Canada and I was having pho. It was perfect. Pho Garden Vietnamese restaurant is located on the main drag of Marine Drive in north Vancouver, BC. I even had to use gps, just to locate it since my eyes could not see that it was in a corner of a shopping cluster. I entered around 7:30pm on a brisk Wednesday evening. The parking was nice, since it was shared among the other tenants in the shopping cluster. Plentiful parking options abound, but do take care that it can get filled up under peak times of the day. I got a table pretty much next to the entrance, where the rest of the tables were already occupied in the main dining area. Pho Garden accepts major credit cards, which is always a good plus when traveling abroad or just traveling within your own city / town. I ended up taking back those summer shrimp rolls back to the hotel to be eaten later that night, instead of woofing them down with my Pho at the restaurant. As aforementioned before, the service was slower than I thought. I guess they served everyone at a table before going to the next, which is understandable. Making each pho or dish as perfect as it can be takes time. It seemed longer than 15 minutes to get my order after putting in the order, but I'm not complaining just yet. The decor of Pho garden Vietnamese restaurant was subtle and welcoming. The restaurant itself was clean and organized, something similar to what you may find in a private middle class home. It was clean and organized. The service here was positive and friendly, albeit slower than what the norm is - at least for me anyway. The pho itself was pretty good. They don't really give enough vegetables, so I asked them for another round of bean sprouts just to make the meal more enriching and satisfying. The broth of the pho was decently good and they gave an adequate amount of noodles, but I should have ordered extra noodles anyway. Prices were decently good, although being an American, I had to convert it back to USD from CAD. All in all, Pho Garden is a good place to check out if you are in the mood for Vietnamese in north Vancouver, it's away from the urban sprawl of downtown, so you can kick back and relax with a heartwarming bowl of Pho here at Pho Garden. Eat up! 3.5 stars, rounded to 4.0. Support local! B

    Orange spring rolls

    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.
