Pho Tru (Mayfair food court) — Restaurant in Victoria

Good corner location inside Mayfair Mall's food court but the pho is not authentic in my opinion. It's served warm & they throw the sliced lime into the broth however its expected to be piping hot to cook the thin sliced beef. It was a very disappointing expectation to eat here. By the time I immerse and stirred the sliced beef, bean sprouts & mint the heat in the soup had disappeared! I'm indeed totally astonished that some customers praised their cuisine. I lost my appetite after a few mouthful & walk away in disgust. My friends told me this experience they had with Pho Boi which has a negative impact from a customers perspective is should you accidentally drop your chop sticks or servette on the floor and request and extra replacement they demand you pay for it! Positively a one time visit is enough. I will definitely not be a returning...

I love the Pho Tru at Blanshard & Fort but the Mayfair mall leaves much to be desired.

Front counter staff are amazing and absolutely no complaints there but the Lemongrass Steak Bánh Mì (Saigon Sub) was sub par compared to the other location. Not as many ingredients or sauce (dry bread as a result) and only 1 strip of beef compared to a loaded sub at the other location.

I do believe that the Mayfair location has cheaper prices ($11.25) than the other store but I'd happily pay a couple dollars more for a better sub.

To end on a good note, the Chả giò (Kim's Crispy Rolls) with sauce on the side are amazing here and at the other store and I highly recommend you add them...

Had lunch before heading back to Nanaimo after cruising the mall. This place is excellent. I had a tofu sub and it was possibly the best Banh Mi I have ever had. It was on the perfect bun, nice and crispy and all the ingredients were delicious. The sub was better than Viet Sub in Vancouver and that is where I always go when there. My daughter had the tofu salad rolls. They were huge, filling and yummy, the peanut sauce was excellent. My wife had a chicken bowl and she loved it, she said the picked carrots were excellent. Three meals for $35, good price and good food....
