Pho Boi

NOTE: Menu prices have increased. I have images of the NEW menu prices as of 09/11/2022. Fairly average and quick service. Servers are very polite. Location is quiet and clean. I got a large "House Special Pho noodle soup". It has a generous amount of meat and lots of soup. Portion of noodles is surprisingly little compared to other Pho restaurants I've been to. The broth/soup itself doesn't have a lot of taste. Overall a decent bowl of noodles for $15.20. Expect prices for dishes ranging on average ~$15-20 per main dish as there was a price increase at this location.

This place is my go to on colder/rainy/gloomy days or if you just want the comfort of a good broth soup. I’ve never waited to be seated, as soon as I’ve been greeted I’m seated right away which is nice when you are really looking forward to the meal. Service has been great and quick. No real wait to have your order taken and not much longer your meal arrives. I usually get the chicken noodle, regular size since it’s a pretty big bowl. Feel free to try the large if you’re extra hungry but I find it hard to finish a regular even though it’s delicious. I would highly recommend this as a stop if you’re looking for a bowl of pho.

Great location, casual Vietnamese spot among other great shops on Fort street. Staff was friendly, somehow I didn’t have any clue on what Vietnamese curry soup was and they did their best to explain it to me without making me feel like an idiot. It turns out, the curry noodle in soup with fried tofu was the bomb. It was a spicy yet sweet, aromatic broth, a little oily but I’m guessing it’s from the coconut milk so I’m ok with that. We also had the beef and carrot stew pho. It was a beefy tomato-ey broth, with chunks of moist beef and al dente pieces of carrots, nicely seasoned but not too overpowering. My kid loved the grilled pork and deep fried spring roll on vermicelli with that side of nước chấm. Would go again for sure.

Attentive and quick service, clean restaurant. Food was okay but fairly average. The toppings and meat had pretty stingy portions. I thought it was a bit expensive compared to other similar pho places but it is well located in downtown Victoria.

I had a steak and flank pho accompanied by a strawberry Sinh to Dau! The pho was spicy as requested and beautifully seasoned with lots of great flavour. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Although the drink was refreshing, it was too costly, in my humble opinion.

The food was really good had a grilled chicken noodle bowl, it tastes really healthy and had a nice salad portion definitely recommend it if it's your jam. Also there strawberry smoothie they make was pretty awesome, again if it's your thing definitely worth a shot. Service was really good, the staff was really nice definitely aimed to please. The environment was really nice a quieter night, not to many people around but still really very enjoyable if you like Vietnamese food highly recommend. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair access was pretty decent, I personally use a power chair so was happy to see that there was a lip on the sidewalk especially for downtown. Where a lot of places are NOT accessible, so it was nice to see that this place was wheelchair friendly however No Automatic Button unfortunately. But NOT a deal breaker still highly recommend this place.

Nice, spacious place is an advantage if you don't feel comfortable in tiny fast food with miserable paper/plastic tableware. Real tableware and chopsticks are at your disposal. Service is really fast and friendly. I would recommend this place.

We went to get some warm pho on the coldest day in town. We ordered two different pho's. One of the meats was not available but was replaced with one of our choice. The service was a little eclectic and not consistent. The food was ok - broth needs more flavor, and accompaniments normally served with pho sprouts, lemon, mint, etc need to be served readily we had to ask for sprouts. The meat-noodle ratio also seemed wonky as I had too much meat and my gf had too much noodles. Overall, it was ok - I see some potential but would not recommend as is.

Very poor service, they forgot one of our dishes, and when we asked they said it was because they were very busy there were 2 other groups in the restaurant. The food was mediocre and overpriced; some of the noodles were cold, and the pork was very chewy. When we went to pay, they added a 15% grat.for a group of 5, including two kids under 10 and didn't tell us, and still asked for tip on the machine. When questioned, they said that we should notice that on the receipt before we pay. Would not recommend, rude staff, mediocre food, and shady if not illegal payment practices.

I walked in the front door and there was about 22 customers there. Someone greeted me kindly and walked me to my table for one. They brought me tea and I ordered the large flank pho with spring roll on side and my food was served within 5 minutes. Spring roll was small serving, but tasty. Pho had enough noodles, meat, but more cooked veggies in the pho soup would be good. The broth was ok. Overall I finished it all, except for some spoonfuls of broth
