Not bad! Pho was kinda plain, would have loved some more toppings and greens but the flavours were very good. Large servings. Spring rolls were awesome!

Fantastic food! The spring rolls are no joke, and tossed noodle bowls are definitely worth a try. Best coconut bubble tea I’ve ever had!

Tellement bon, et les employés sont super gentils! Je recommande! J'ai passé une semaine à Victoria et j'aurais voulu resté plus longtemps pour pouvoir continuer à mangé ici!

Really good quality ingredients, great portions, amazing flavours, definitely worth the money!

It has been a stop I do quite often when I'm in town. Haven't been around in several years and I was relieved to find out they survived the pandemic. The food is always spot on and the prices are pretty decent too. No need to go downtown and fight for parking for a delicious meal.

Good Vietnamese food, large portions, good & fast service. Small interior but plenty of tables for the size. Clean.

Amazing food, best spring rolls I’ve ever had.
Vermicelli and pho broth is delicious too.

Just garbage cuisine for $17.50 Rice noodles, discount meat, and chunks of celery and purple cabbage filler. What an embarrassment for Esquimalt.

Best pho in town. I recommend trying the fried spring rolls at the same time. This is my favortue Pho place

I always get pho from here, but today my mom, decided to join me today.
(my mom has battle anorexia most of her life) and having her eat a whole plate from here, made my day
She loved the rice and pork
And as always I loved the pho. Thank you for the great tasting food. Even something my plain Jane mom would eat. She loved the flavor and everything it came with.
Thank you all so much

I wanted to love it but it's just not at the same level as other locations and it's quite pricey for the quality.

The broth is mediocre at best, the jalapenos were from a jar and sprouts were wet like they were starting to turn.

Tillicum or Downtown for me next time

I've always been a huge fan of the Vietnamese sandwiches. Definitely not the best pho* in town

What a yummy dinner! My boyfriend and I got rice and prawn dish and chicken salad rolls. Came with yummy sauces. And quick for take away. Ready in 15mins!
I thought that was enough food for both of us. And we split the cost that included a tip. Was under $20 each.

This place was really good, kind service and food came quick. Had the chicken and spring roll vermicelli it was nice and fresh decent portions and decent price, just what I was hoping for cheers!

AMAZING FOOD! Great service, great food, great place to eat fantastic food! Highly recommended! You. Are. Welcome

Tried #16 lemongrass coconut curry. Not flavorful and quality and ingredients didn't justify the price.
07 November 2021 23:16
The salad rolls were so fresh and the bubble tea is always such a great end of lunch treat! You can call in an order for pick up and it’ll be ready in about 10 mins or so. Everything is cooked fresh and served piping hot. The menu is varied and my favourite is the salads with protein though the vermicelli bowls are a veritable feast I adore!

Super fast service, always open, kids really like it and curry is tasty. Best fast food of Esquimalt!
05 September 2021 13:01
The food was amazing and served so quickly. We had noodle bowls and soup and vegetable rolls all amazing! The staff were full of smiles and very helpful with ordering. Definitely somewhere we would return!

Tried prawn soup and it tasted flavourless except spicy. My kids had meatball pho and the meatball tasted sour. They did not even finished 10% of the whole meal, but they finished the exact food from another vietnamien restaurant in downtown. Will never coming back to this place. Price does not match what they provided.

I was craving pho, so I placed an order for pick-up. The menu said pho was $12.75, however when I got to the restaurant they had up-sized me to "king size" for an extra $2, and did not give me any choice nor any advance warning.

I guess that would be okay with me if it was delicious, but unfortunately it's pretty flavourless. Bland noodles and bland meat and bland toppings in bland watery oily broth. The eating experience is a decidedly unpleasant one. But hey, at least I'm not hungry anymore.

I'm no longer craving pho. In fact, I feel a bit disgusted by it now. So I guess I'll call it a success: craving eliminated!

Best Vietnamese subs I've had in Victoria! Very tasty and really nice portion sizes. I'd also recommend trying anything with their "pork loaf".
01 May 2021 16:27
Great food at very reasonable prices, friendly service. Currently take-out only. Parking in front of building.

Popped in to grab some takeout tonight and noticed the cook in the back serving food without a mask on. Sad because I love the food and would have given 5 stars if I hadn't seen the blatant disregard for the health of their customers. I will not be a returning customer
25 February 2021 9:48
First time trying this place, all I can say is there's some unique dishes with some incredible flavors. Looking forward to trying more selections next time.
08 February 2021 14:19
Really good. First time ordering something from this restaurant. Best spring rolls I have ever had actually.
05 January 2021 23:59
I’m wondering if the owner or the cooks of this place have ever tried Vietnamese subs before because what I got from them was not banh mi. The sub was way too soft and chewy when it supposed to be crispy. You can even tell by looking at the photo I took. It tasted terrible and my jaws got tired chewing this thing. Banh mi here is also overpriced for the location, service and set up. Instead paying over $10, you can get much better banh mi at many other restaurants for around $7

Seriously good! The two of us had the charbroiled beef with rice- excellent taste and prepared quickly.
03 October 2020 22:45
I am very disappointed with the Vietnamese subs. 14$ for burnt meat, 20 pounds of sliced raw onions, no sauce and stale bread. I know you guys can do better then that. Don't rob people. Won't be returning to this location. The one in tillicum has consistency and care.

The food is good, but I'm having a hard time reconciling my ongoing patronage due to their use of styrofoam packaging. This is true for all restaurants in the franchise. Consider this my last takeout from this chain until they change their packaging to a sustainable product.
02 January 2020 2:36
Absolutely delicious, inexpensive and fast service! A must go for your Vietnamese cravings! Phos, rice meals and bubble teas are delicious!
12 November 2019 6:13
Very good comfort Vietnamese food. I tried the Coconut Curry with prawns which was very warm and tasty on a cold rainy day. Prices are good. I will def.be back.
01 November 2019 21:29
Great fast fresh food. Prices seem a bit high but worth it for the quality. Would be 5 stars if items were available in a combo.
13 September 2019 21:10
Really good food. Wasn't to busy when I went to lunch with a freind. The place is small so they engage you right away:) service was quick. First time eating there and I enjoyed the lemon grass chicken and two plates of spring rolls. The bubble tea was good as we'll. I'm deffinitly going to be going back.
31 August 2019 23:50
The worst service I have ever had. You have to think this restaurant is a FAST FOOD RESTAURANT (Serve yourself) if you want to go.
30 August 2019 19:31
My Pho consisted of hot water, plain noodles and unseasoned meat. Worst pho I have ever had. Buddy said curry was excellent though.
20 May 2019 21:31
Really bad service. Got there at 8pm and skinny girl said they are closing in 30min and gave the impression you better eat fast. So we left and went some where else. Prices higher too. Never going back.
