Pholicious Vietnamese Restaurant

Delicious food great service affordable prices I would definitely come here again. Highly recommend and I love how they close late.

I’m Vietnamese and I don’t know how this place serves pho broth like that and I really wonder if the owner have really tried their own pho. I ordered special pho (it’s all about beef) and so disappointed at the lacking ingredients such as beef tripes, tendon, flank or brisket and no basil with just a tiny bit of sprouts, more importantly is a lacking ingredient in the broth which is the most essential body that makes up the so called pho. The broth is bland, no pho aroma and as it seems as if it’s all about msg and sugar. I rather pay more to get the real pho.

A funky atmosphere, ffriendly service and food with subtle flavour and personality! First timers, we will be back, not every day, as suggested.

The food is so affordable for a generous amount and service is extremely fast. What makes this store stand out from other Vietnamese food places is the incredible staffs. The cashier lady is the most friendly person, always remembers her returning customers and goes above and beyond with her service. I really enjoy chatting with her while waiting for my food. The kitchen staffs are very accomodating, willing to substitute and modify their dishes to suit vegan and vegetarian diet, which I really appreciate. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful place to dine it! Everything about this place is wholesome. We had their Banh mi and Rice wraps and to be honest I didn't expect it to be so delicious. I ordered the Special Banh mi and the meat in there was well marinated and packed with flavor. Even thier buns were super soft, yet crunch and warm. Finally, the staff/owners were super friendly and I'm excited to check it out again

Authentic Vietnamese Pho. Appetizers are tasty and in big portions. Food is delicious reasonably priced. Service is fast and great. I will definitely be back.

This place is the literal definition of an amazing hole in the wall, it’s such a good deal and the staff are amazing!

Delicious food and a super friendly owner and team. The house special is a great deal with lots of meat.

The prices at this place are great especially for downtown Vancouver and the food itself is good too. When you enter, you go up to order and then get a seat. The lady at the cashier (owner I’m assuming) is really friendly and nice especially to her regulars.

I ordered a grilled chicken banh mi and beef pho total was $16 (w/o tip). It’s quite small and has a cozy atmosphere, definitely a hidden restaurant that the public does not know about. I came around 6: 15 pm giving me 45 minutes, however some people came even later than me.

Parking: You’ll most likely have to park at the public parking lots around waterfront which are really pricey, but that’s inevitable if you’re driving to that area. Street parking is possible, but it’s tough finding one available.

Location: Right in-front of waterfront just a few streets up.

Two of us were looking for a good Pho place. We were travelling through vancouver and came across this hidden restaurant.
We walked in and were instantly greeted by the sweetest staff. The small restaurant was packed but we go our order in less than ten minutes.
The food was excellent, delicous, fresh.
Even better than the food was the price. For just $20 including tax and tip, I got two full meals in downtown Vancouver. Once I’m back on the lower mainland I will for sure be back!

I got hot and sour shrimp noodle soup and a spicy salmon roll, both of them taste so goooood ️ fast, friendly, and tasty! Highly recommend giving it a try!

Could you imagine what they gave me is all overcooked noodles! They were broken into small pieces. And it is definitely impossible to eat. How dare you give spoiled food to customers?

Great food, and warm and friendly service! The vegetarian vermicelli bowl was especially good.

The food here is delicious and is so reasonably priced. All the staff are such hard workers, and are genuinely kind people. Me and my coworkers come all the time to pick up food, and they always remember our names and give such warm greetings. Very happy to see them grow into a bigger space!

Absolutly amazing, the lady at the till makes a conscious effort to remember EVERYONE. The prices were straight out of 2007, legitamatly such a sweet shop, I will come back at every oppurtinity.

Cheap price and cheap taste. It tastes like powdered broth and the bread for the bahn mi was stale. It is an okay place if you are looking for a cheap meal but would not recommend.

The prices at this place are great, but it was obvious why when I had my first taste. The broth, the most important part of a bowl of pho, was possibly the blandest I've ever tasted, likely a watered down chicken or vegetable stock with a slight hint of star anise. The MSG laden instant pho packets I have at home would make a better broth unfortunately. I ordered the House Special, and unlike most other pho places their House Special does not have tripe or beef tendon, instead there's some grilled chicken and chả lụa balls. This is described in the menu so it wasn't a surprise, just different and the grilled chicken was actually tasty so it wasn't all bad.

Overall, I think this place is to pho as what Olive Gardens are to pasta in that there's a specific market that Pholicious is great for: People who aren't yet adventurous enough for the full gamut of spices, flavours and cuts of meat in regular Vietnamese pho. I would recommend Pholicious to those who have a more conservative palate and want a safe experience to the world of Vietnamese noodle soup.

So cheap couldn't belive how watered down the broth was. They sent 2 small cups of sauce.no basil no jalapeños very small amount of sprouts.complete joke. Don't know if this is cause it's take out and they are taking advantage. Very disappointing.

I ordered the beef special when it was available. They gave me noodles instead of rice, which came with what must have been the last of the beef as it was an incredibly small portion. The entire meal at $11 was smaller than my fist, was 95% noodles, and cost 2 dollars more than the regular pork or chicken version. Further, the beef was unimpressive in addition to being basically non-existent.

Honestly, where else can you find a place that charges under $10 for a bowl of pho?

Cheap eats only here, so don’t go expecting you’ll get the same quality as a $20 bowl somewhere else (I mean this in the best way) -nevertheless it’s still great and not drowned in msg.

The lady cashier was super friendly! Converses with everyone like they’re an old friend, and remembers all her regulars (and there were a lot of regulars in the half hour I was there!)

Small establishment with the best chicken broth: *)! The takeout pho noodles don’t break, their broth is flavourful and light at the same time. They have very good price range on the size choices too. The staff/owner are so friendly!

Had the house special noodle soup with some veggie salad rolls The soup was warm and the ingredients were fresh and tasty. The broth was very flat.

Great little spot that I often frequent for a work lunch. They are so friendly, fast service and the food is yummy! I highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a good lunch spot

Found this place on maps and decided to give it a try. The staff were really friendly and the service was good. The prices are amazing for downtown!

I got the grilled chicken on rice and a shrimp salad roll for about $12. They are really fast! The food arrived on my table about 5 minutes after I ordered. The portions were good. I liked the plate but the salad roll wasn’t for me. It was too plain for my taste.

Sadly my experience was not good! I ordered chicken and rice take out. The chicken was very hard and inedible. It seems like that it was previously frozen and then thrown in the microwave. I was too far away to return it. My advice- open the box and check your food before leaving the restaurant.

Very good price in this area, but the soup was obviously made of some pho powder and the meat ball was even frozen

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I got the house special pho, comes with beef, pork and chicken. It was SO good and only $8.50!? Arguably some of the best Pho I've ever had! Don't let the picture deceive you, it's a very filling portion size. The service is also top notch - thank you to the guy with the eyebrow piercing, he was absolutely adorable and we stepped outside for a smoke while waiting and he actually brought our to-go bag outside to us. That was so sweet! Thanks!

Good food but such a waste of plastic even when you’re dining in. Dine in uses all disposable bowls and cutlery.

So so delicious, I ordered the spicy lemongrass grilled chicken pho and spring rolls, so fast, great attention, great great I’ll go back all the time

As a tourist we were so so so so happy with our choice to eat at Pholicious! The people were so kind and friendly and the Pho was to die for literally! The worst part is being a tourist we will not be able to get it unless we come to Vancouver.
