I am obsessed with fire and have eaten at almost every pho restaurant here in Vancouver. I eat for most likely at a different restaurant at least once a week. I ordered an a P one with extra meatballs when I got it I did not receive the extra meatballs on my receipts. I was showing extra meatballs and there’s it shows something else. When I opened up my phone, I had literally three cut pieces of meatball. That was it not even a whole meatball just three little pieces of meatball in my thing. The other meat that I got was literally to thin pieces. lean brisket and that was it. I did not receive any chili sauce or anything like that except for the what I called purple sauce. When I called to let them know about the order, she argued back with me that her receipts showed something different. Normally it wouldn’t be a big deal as if I would had my other meatballs but the picture I am showing I have never received this amount of meatballs and any other fuss I have over ordered. I would recommend checking out another for venue as they have more for your bang for your buck for $17. I really am not impressed. Again I have never seen just to three tiny cut pieces no matter where I have ordered. There was no need to try to make it correct to say hey do you want to come pick up a side of meatballs real quick cause I only live a couple minutes away they were not trying to fix or come up with any type of solution. I let Uber eats know the situation, and they were willing to take and fix it right away. I almost never leave reviews but this time I felt like this was slightly crazy not to you again. I would recommend checking out some of the other pho places around this area as you’ll get more for your buck. It won’t let me...
Read moreTis a terrible trial I put myself to. To wander like a lost pilgrim across misty plains, from 4th Plain to Mill Plain and far beyond seeking the soul saving Broth of the mysterious Pho. It tis in fact, a pho, pho better thing than I have ever done. My journey brings me to Pho Vi Van and once again I have struck culinary gold. I love the little fish pond that runs along the window so I do not feel so all alone. I love the flyer in the front that gives me detailed instructions to enlightenment, great dinner time reading that. And right off the bat, I loved the fried wontons which looked like little brown bear claws but tasted like a summer’s day! But the warm savory foundation of a place like this is the broth. Ah, a feast for the eyes before the first taste, I love the red and the mysterious depths, as if there might be sea monsters and sunken treasure, perfect. I take a sip of the broth and the spice hits me right smack in the loves. Peppery with some strong anise with meat as tender as the look in the eye of a baby doe. Did my nose run? Like I had robbed a bank and the gendarmes were hot on my trail. Did I sweat? Like me momma was given me the third degree. Did I consume every living drop right down to the white of the bowl? Like the locusts of the field! It was complicated but pure, hot but not so bad as to hide the taste. The service was good, the place is on the other side of nowhere, but worth every mile and the decor feels like they put a bit of thought into it. Plus they let me sit in the window by the fish pond so I could keep my eye on my...
Read moreWe ate here so many times this fall and winter loved it, until tonight. Im so irritated now that I have wasted so much money on this place. The food was obviously decent we like their avocado shakes and special pho and the atmosphere was nice, even if it was not as well cleaned as it should be. Tonight the place was being run by three teenagers one girl and two males who talked loud, flirted non-stop and made fun of the customers including our son. The cake topper was when my boyfriend heard one of the boys use the Mexican slang word for vagina while talking to his co-worker/friend. They pretty much shooed us out the door, leaving the check with us almost right after we got our food, didn't refill water and when I walked up to the counter to get some.... the girl brought me water and asked if we wanted boxes when we obviously weren't done. They pumped up the volume of the music like it was a club. I'm all for good music but when going to a place like this you come to expect a certain atmosphere. So done...
