Pho Garden — Restaurant in District of North Vancouver

Came for lunch on the way to work with 3 of my colleagues. We noticed the hours are 11-8pm, but despite 2-3 calls to the restaurant that went unanswered, we had to wait until 11:30 for them to open up. Upon placing our orders for a large house special pho, a large rare beef and beef ball pho, vegetarian noodle soup, the grilled bbq chicken on fried rice, and finally 2 Vietnamese iced coffees. After a standard wait for the first 3 dishes, we each found our food bland and a much smaller portion than anticipated after ordering the large size. The rare beef and beef ball pho only had 3 pieces of beef ball and the house special had little to no tripe. The vegetarian noodle soup kind you we all tried and collectively agreed it was blanched vegetables and noodles in hot water. This was my friend’s first time trying Vietnamese iced coffee and after waiting 15min for it to finish dripping he was shocked at how little there was.

I stopped by at 1:30 for a quick bite. The owner / slash waiter refused me the appetizer Soring roll said they were out. I must order the main dish. Made no sense as kitchen can easily make one Soring roll appetizer or two for the main. My order was disgusting both in taste and presentation. Skinny almost burnt rolls.
