Pho 24 express — Restaurant in Burnaby

If you wanted to pay unexpected extra money, you should go for a dinner here! I always thought that this place is decent until something happened today. I found that lump of metal in my dish and was so shocked about that. I was waiting for the server for talking about this stuff and the server never came to us, so I just told them when I checked the bill. However, the server of the restaurant ( or might be owner) said that this one is not a metal and just part of the lamp. If fact, she kept telling us this is not a big deal and her intention was that this is safe to be in the dish. Think about it if you chew or bite this one and what will be happened!! This restaurant needs to be improved there standard of cleanliness. Furthermore, the cup of restaurant was not even clean. They pushed me to pay half of the price for the dish and not even said “sorry” to us. Please, take care yourself, just in case, if you want to use...

Called in an order for pickup shortly after opening and it was ready fairly quickly! I had their Chicken Fried Rice. I found it very tasty, seasoned and cooked well. The chicken thigh pieces were small but plentiful (aside from one cartilage that was inedible). The cooked and fried green onions offered a nice complimentary flavour. It was fairly simple, but executed well.

Service was friendly and I was offered tea/water while I waited for my order. It came with a fortune cookie as well. They were transparent that payment made on a credit card would be charged a $0.25 fee, so debit is the best method to pay if you want to avoid that fee. I didn't know this when I ordered, but they have signage at their front counter. My rice came to $18.90 including tax, so it was an expensive lunch. However, I did really enjoy it. I'd be curious to return to try their...

I ordered the bun vermicelli plate with lemongrass beef and a spring roll from Uber Eats. If you want sauces you must order them separately for an additional fee. I ordered peanut sauce and chilli oil. The dish was really quite tasty, but I wouldn’t recommend it without the sauces. Delivery was fast and the presentation good. My only problem was with the spring rolls. They should be packed separately and not in the same dish. They were soggy and chewy from being close to the vermicelli. Also I didn’t bother crisping them up in the oven because after my initial bite I knew I couldn’t eat them. So salty! I’m not talking just a little bit, I mean burn your mouth level salty. I can only assume this was an error and not their usual recipe. I was happy with the rest so I only took off one star. I’ll try them again to see if their spring rolls win me...
