Simply Pho Family Owned Vietnamese Cuisine — Restaurant in British Columbia

Nice New and Clean restaurant with friendly staff but I'm sorry I must disagree with the other reviewers. We thought the food was OK but found it underwhelming in terms of flavor and portion size. I've read all the other reviews so maybe we just got a stingy cook on a bad night but we did not get a generous portion. I must say we LOVE pho and Vietnamese in general and enjoy it often at a couple regular places we go to in Vancouver and Burnaby so we were looking forward to this new place closer to home. We ordered the Large Pho and Shrimp Salad roll. It was delivered quickly and with a smile - that was good. The salad roll was fresh but could have used some more green leaf "salad" in it but it was good. The disappointment was with the pho, the namesake of the restaurant. It was the largest bowl I've ever had a large pho delivered in.... There was lots of broth but this large pho contained less noodle and less beef than any medium I've ordered anywhere else. Normally my wife and I order a Medium and it is enough fill us and usually bring a salad or spring roll home. Not this time. We ate all of it and came home with room for dessert. So the portion is small even though the quantity of liquid is large. Even the side plate of bean sprouts & basil leaves was a smaller portion than most small orders anywhere else. The broth was nice but it wasn't the slow cooked aromatic wonder a good pho normal is. If you've never had pho or perhaps live in Ladner / Tsawassen and find this a unique addition to the neighborhood, it's a nice change of pace and I understand your delight with the place. But if you're looking for an authentic pho, rich in flavor and packed with ingredients to make a meal,...

Let me start with i love their Pho!! Which is why this review has atleast two stars and not one. Our experience at this delta joint’s service was terrible. I understand this is a fast food joint, i don’t expect a 5 star service but i expect some service at the very least. Manager there is busy looking at her screen the entire time and the other employee was in her own world. Neither of where listening, we must have called them 5 times atleast and the lady next to our table got tired of calling them she had to walk to the counter. It wasn’t busy there were hardly 3 tables filled and they couldn’t even pay attention to them. I lost it when they served our order to the next able... people on the table tried calling them but they didn’t pay attention. It sat their for 10 mins, as soon as they realised they took it to the kitchen waited for 5 mins and they got the same plate back. Little did they realize that i could see them. As expected rice were cold coz it sat on the next table for 10 minutes and in the kitchen for 5 mins. They didn’t even have the courtesy to hear it up. And its no unsafe to have been serviced like this. Very...

A tad bit awkward and disappointed. Had experienced different pho from different restaurants. So this may not reflect the same way as others think. Went in and was silently waved at from the other side of the restaurant. Although it's a small restaurant. Some energy would be nice. Maybe a greeting? I ordered one of specials. $14. I would expect more than just slightly flavored broth and frozen products. Don't get me wrong it's not the frozen products.. it's the frost bite taste bleeding into the broth since the broth is so weak. No one asked me how the food was, i left it barely touched and pushed it across the table to make it obvious. The waitress just walked by.

The price is fair. But does not equate for quality like you would expect.

I went to pay my bill and the waitress looks at my table with a mostly full bowl of pho. Didn't say even a thank you and how the food was. I paid and still gave some tip for the service even though it was extremely poor.

To me, the soup is the best part, then everything follows. I hate wasting food, but I couldn't eat it. I only hope this helps...
