    Pho with rare beef, brisket, and beef balls

    Very quiet cafe. I was the only one here at 11am. Apparently it gets busy during lunch time. The food is pretty standard. Noodles weren't clumped together due to precooking and the bean sprouts were fresh. The brisket was really tough and sliced thick so I barely ate any of it. The rest of the meat was standard. The service was nice. I wouldn't come back unless you're in the area.

    The front of the store, not too shabby I say!

The broth is so flavorful and the beef is always fall-off-the-bone tender. Just a heads up, they do run out of the ribs so try to get here early if you would like to try it. The last couple of times we've come, the beef ribs were a bit smaller than they used to be, but they were awesome about making up for it. Last visit they threw in an extra rib, and today they gave us this massive extra bone loaded with tendon. I loved it. My wife was too shy to use her hands to eat it, so hey, bonus piece for me! Aside from the food, the service here is amazing. Everyone is super attentive and friendly. The vibe is really comforting to, it's way more spacious than your typical cramped pho restaurant. Parking is free during lunch, but you have to register your car if you're here after 6pm. It's cash or debit only.

It is a small Vietnamese restaurant, sitting low profile in the neighbourhood of Capstan. There are plenty parking lots outside. I ordered the fish cake noodle soup which is chef recommended. It took a while to cook. The fish cakes were unlike those in other Vietnamese restaurant, they are soft. The soup tasted soothing and without too much flavours. It is good as an everyday noodle soup. The owner is very nice and welcoming. I will be back again.

We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (3:30pm). The inside is tiny (3 tables, 6 high stool seats). Service was no frills, tea cups came out lukewarm. - Herbs - bean sprouts, basil and lemon wedges. Basil was limp. - Tan's special spicy pho ($16.99) - generous portion of meat. Best was the brisket, rare sliced sirloin and pork hock. Broth was decent, heat subtle. Puzzled by the raw red onions. - Han's countryside crab noodle soup ($16.00) - bun rieu broth was weak, lacking depth and substance. Plenty of Vietnamese ham. Okay fare but a step below any of the Vietnamese spots along Victoria Drive.

    Food: I don't usually eat Vietnamese/Cambodian cuisine, but…read moremy friend took me here so I decided to give it a try. The food was a bit pricey, but the dishes were very authentic and each tasted delicious in its own way. Many dishes come with a sauce (depending on what you order) and has big portions, so I'd recommend doing family style so that you can try more dishes. Would definitely come back again if I'm ever craving Vietnamese/Cambodian food in Vancouver! Service: Service was a bit slow - we didn't receive our drinks until we were halfway done eating, even though we ordered in the beginning before we ordered the food. It was a bit chaotic calling a server if you have any questions or want to change your order, since there's no one server assigned to each table. Each dish was brought out by different waiters/servers, so it wasn't the most organized since it takes a while to get any worker's attention. Ambiance: Arrived around 11am and it was pretty crowded/full. There was a short line but the wait wasn't long. Got seated within 10-15 minutes.

    Came early to avoid long wait times, around 4:30-4:45 there was still a 25-minute wait for 2…read morepeople. For a small party we only could really order the trifecta: chicken wings, butter beef and bo luc lac. Loved the chicken wings and butter beef. They're as good as everyone says they are and I can understand why they're popular dishes to order. The Bo luc lac was just ok for me. I've had better. Worth trying at least once. Don't think I'd wait 1-2 hours to eat here though.
