Le Pho — Restaurant in Victoria

Has potential to be good but fell short. I tried their largest Vietnamese submarine in town $9 cold cuts (assorted) and Vietnamese style ice coffee $4.

The banh mi was dry and disappointing. The bread tasted a day too old and in need of a bit of Maggie sauce and more liver patty. The cold cuts and preserve vegetables were good. 2/5 ⭐⭐

The Vietnamese style ice coffee was good. The coffee and condensed milk along with the ice pass the taste test. 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

My friend ordered the banh mi and agreed with me with how we felt. His papaya salad was okay not the worst or best he had elsewhere.

The decore looks homie and welcoming. I believe the owner server us and he was friendly and quick. I think if they worked on adding a little more flavor, spices, seasonings and the little details to their food. This could be a great place to go but right now it's...

I want this place to be good so badly as it is super close to our house and I am a Pho addict, but it is incredibly mediocre and also the most expensive in town (likely taking advantage of its proximity to Oak Bay). Have given them 6 or 7 tries over the years and the Pho is always very bland, no depth of flavour and nothing fresh or exciting going on. Tried the banh mi twice and the bread tasted freezer burned and the fillings were not fresh or flavourful at all. I don’t believe there is anyone of Vietnamese descent involved in this restaurant, so it would be nice to see the owners do their homework on what makes a truly great bowl of Pho and take a little more pride in the product they are putting out there instead of just coasting by on Oak Bay seniors with deep pockets and no experience with eating good...

Pho was $14.50 which I would consider a small medium. At the place I regularly go its $13 for this size and $14 for a large which is what I usually get. So for $1.50 more I get what I consider a small medium which to me is a bit overpriced.

The noodles were quite hard and I needed to stir it around lots and let it sit for a while to get the noodles to break up. After that they were fine but it worries me I got yesterdays noodles or something.

The spring rolls were very much lacking filing and were mostly the outter shell. For $9 I also wasnt overly impressed.

I will give a 3 overall because it all tasted wonderful despite the pricing issues and the fact the spring rolls didn't have much filling.

With a few adjustments it would be...
