Customer service was sweet and nice, but I’m here to rate the food and it was horrible. Probably the worst Vietnamese food I ever had or maybe I just didn’t order the right dishes.
Their spring rolls is taro and pork(felt like there was no meat at all) it’s very skinny and I wished it was the traditional spring rolls. If it wasn’t, it should have been labeled. It’s $6-7 for 5 skinny pieces. Added pictures
As for the chicken pho. They used beef broth. Reason why you buy chicken pho is to have chicken broth and the chicken was veeeerrrry dry! Lots of sugar and msg to the broth. Was not authentic and natural
Rice dish: had the same spring rolls and the meat tasted like jerky and dry chicken. Egg was over cooked
Vermicelli dish: again spring rolls was a disappointment and meat was a bit dry
Hopefully they would change the menu or spring rolls (even label it properly that it’s taro filling as i felt I got ripped off assuming it’s the traditional Vietnamese spring rolls)
The servers and waiters or nice but wouldn’t come here...
Read moreExcellent pho from an authentic Vietnamese family owned and operated restaurant! I ordered the #3 - Pho Dac Biet (large bowl) which is their Beef Special Pho, and it came piping hot and very fast. I did have to ask for a wedge or slice of lime, however all the ingredients came in one bowl including bean sprouts and cilantro. Because of having to request the lime and also they only have one type of hot sauce I felt the restaurant could have received the full five stars. Traditional hot sauce from Vietnam is available in several varieties from a smooth paste for sriracha to chunky garlic chili sauce; Osoyoos Pho offered a peanut-oil fried-chili hot sauce which is more traditional in Chinese restaurants but otherwise very hard to find! The flavours were excellent and portion size was just right as I consumed the entire dish in one sitting. As the only traditional Vietnamese restaurant in the Oliver and Osoyoos area, I highly recommend...
Read moreIn my honest opinion this is the one of the worst Vietnamese restaurants I've visited in a long time. Disclaimer: I am half Vietnamese, I make homemade pho myself & I've lived in Toronto where the pho is exceptional, so if you want an "authentic Viet food experience" this is NOT the place to go. This place cooked everything wrong; the soup base tasted, well... tasteless. The noodles seemed cheap, the vermicelli also tasted flavourless, and the most disappointing was the BBQ pork... 100% unauthentic Viet style BBQ pork. It appears to me that they just slapped a bunch of overly sweet and orange coloured sauce on top of boiled pork... Everyone should know that this is not how Viet food usually looks or tastes. The only thing "authentically Viet" about this place is the heat!!! They have no AC, so if feels somewhat like you are is Saigon, foodwise though it will never compare to...
