Came with the family for dinner. Second time here. First time was somewhat busy and this time was the same. However, we were seated right away and did not have to wait. Lots of people in and out, as well as, a bunch of take out orders. Even with everything going on, I was surprised how quickly our food arrived. Must have been less than 10 mins after we ordered. Our order was not small either - 5 dishes for the four of us.
We ordered #40 seafood with rice noodle in soup, #44 egg noodle beef stew, #5 chicken wings, #2 pork spring rolls, #62 grilled lemongrass chicken and pork chop on rice. The wife had the beef stew and I had the rice dish. She was pleasantly surprised with the beef stew dish. For context, she always orders either the beef stew or the bun bo hue. The bun bo hue did not do much for her last time, but the stew she was a fan of. The soup was tasty and the beef tender. For me, I liked both the house special I had the first time and the rice dish I had this time. The meat was tender and flavorful, but would have liked the pork chop to be a bit more charred like the chicken was. Both the chicken and pork chop were cooked well. The rice was on the harder side though and would of been helped with more fish sauce.
I'm giving 4 stars for food since the seafood noodle soup dish and the bun bo hue were kind of bland and looked nothing like the picture in the menu. My guess is special dishes arent ordered as much and thats why they aren't as good. Regardless, they weren't bad, but looked kind of sad since we were expecting a bit more variety. The seafood content was lacking compared to other places we've been at. Seemed like it was loaded with more imitation crab than anything else.
Both the chicken wings and the spring rolls were spot on. Lots of flavor and cooked perfectly and not overly salty. They did seem crisper than usual though - maybe too long in the fryer. The spring rolls had a ton of taste and left me wanting more - I would be happy just eating spring rolls all day long.
All in all, this place exceeded our expectations. The food tasted great and wasn't overly salty or sweet (a common thing I am finding in South Surrey). Service was excellent with little to no wait and the portion sizes weren't small that's for sure. But, like every where else, prices are up across the board. On the plus side, it's always a good sign when the wife brings home the take out menu. Will...
Read more777 Vietnamese Pho Restaurant, has very good food and reasonable prices.
Located on Russell Avenue in the city of White Rock.
I recommend #73 from their menu is my favorite. Lemon grass chicken, spring rolls, rice noodles, and salad. The portions are large.
The restaurant team members go above and beyond to provide you with their best service experience.
As any other restaurant be sure to let them know if you have any food allergies.
The restaurant is kept very clean, and organized, and is in compliance with the British Columbia health guidelines.
Although, the front entrance is ground level with the sidewalk. There are 2 doors at approximately 5 feet apart from each other, making it a bit difficult to enter should you have a bad shoulder, artists or should you be in a wheelchair.
All that being said, if anyone passing by or inside the restaurant sees someone trying to enter into the restaurant experiencing difficulty with the door. will simply do all it takes to assist you. So, give it a try!
Accessible wheelchair inside the restaurant.
No wheelchair accessible parking only Street parking.
This is a place to bring your family. The children will...
Read moreI have been coming to pho 777 since the first week it opened. The food has been nothing but fantastic along with the staff. I have been to many other Pho resteraunt around town and this place is still my my favourite.
There is not much on the menu I havent tried and I have yet to be dissapointed with any of it. I love doing the classic large bowl of Chicken with veggies and when I ask for extra veggies they actually double the veggies! many places just add extra cabbage to look as if its fuller.
If you are looking for something to start with or share the deep fried tofu here is fantastic, they seem to do a much lighter fry on it and they serve it with this delicous sauce that really boosts the flavour. The prawn spring rolls are really good as well.
They also serve Gelato here so if you are in the area in the summer and you are craving soke icre cream they got you covered! Probably around 12 different flavours as well.
I would have given them a 5 star but with the only seafood options being somewhat lackluster I just cant give it the 5 stars it...
