Ordered the rare steak noodle soup, like the broth temperature was hot, but the flavor was on the light side. The meat, the noodle and the size were good. The basil has passed its freshest stage, I guess not many people are really care about it. Reasonable price.

Delicious Vietnamese food. We have been going there for Pho since they opened many years ago.

Beef pho was good. Disappointed that sriracha was the only was they make the food spicy. Was hoping for chili peppers or something. Initial server was slow and a bit hard to understand. Atmosphere was a bit disappointing, the wall along where we sat had a hand written paper sign saying egg rolls buy four get one free. Better off in the menu or advised by the waiter. Il be back regardless.

Very cheap and affordable, but the quality, cleanliness of the food isn't there.

Very friendly service and atmosphere.

Excellent service with all kinds of decent food of great value, also in an ultra clean environment, nothing else to be expected. 100% recommend!

Very welcoming atmosphere. The main waitress has this uncanny ability to not only remember you personally but what you typically order, even if you havent been in for months! My elderley parents refer to it as that "mom and pop" place.

I live in the vicinity and have eaten here many, many times. Excellent food, service, and value for money.

Menu was disappointing. Expected to see more Vietnamese dishes but it seems to be mostly Chinese.

Restaurant looks nice enough but smelled like a musty damp basement. Maybe from the mop? Strange.

I waited a long time for service despite being the only person in the restaurant. Waited several minutes after I received my meal for my beverage and utensils. Waitress was friendly though.

Pork spare ribs were barely warm and had an unpleasant aftertaste as if they had been sitting around for a while.

Pork vermicelli bowl was ok. A bit bland, not much meat, and too much bean sprouts burried under the rice noodles. I mixed them in before I realized.

Overall it didn't seem to be as authentic, fresh, and flavorful as what I'm used to back home in British Columbia (see my other reviews). I hate to leave a low rating but that was my experience.

They do both Vietnamese and Chinese food but I would only go there for the Vietnamese dishes. I've had the Pho and noodle bowl, both are as good as any I've had in Asia.

It's a no frills place so don't expect any ambiance but the price reflects that. It's good food at a reasonable price and there's not many of those kinds of places left these days.

I came here seeing the good reviews but I beg to differ.

1) The waitress's attitude and demeanor was so rude. My mom said her pho order in Vietnamese thinking it was run by Vietnamese due to the name. Instead of responding she doesnt speak Vietnamese, she starts shouting in English "WHAT? Number 8? " If you didn't understand Vietnamese, then how did you know what my mom wanted?

My mom tried to make small talk that she thought they knew Vietnamese due to the name, the waitress just scoffs us and leaves. Even bringing out our pho, pretty much slammed it onto the table. So disorderly.

2) The springrolls are basically egg rolls, I dont even know why they list "Spring rolls or egg rolls". Its just filled with tons of cabbage and a sprinkle of ground meat.

3) The pho only comes in one size and they give you a plate of veggies (bean sprouts, herbs and lime). The pho looks like they give you alot of noodles but its an illusion, they have a handful of bean sprouts underneath. Broth was subpar, had to add alot of hoisin and Sriracha to make the broth edible.

Good Vietnamese/Chinese food for white people. If you're actually Vietnamese/Chinese you won't go there because it is for white people.

The food was super delicious and fresh. I got the Hot and Sour Soup (#25) and the Vermicelli Noodles with Pork (#15). For the portions you get its an outstanding deal. I recommend!

My Wife and I have been going to the Pho since it opened. We have never had anything but spectacular food, friendly service and a warm reception. The noodle dishes and Chinese food are second to none in the city if not Eastern Canada. You will be doing yourself a great disservice if you do not order the rice rolls with pork and shrimp. Always a spectacular experience. You also have to love a restaurant that knows when it's your birthday and gives you a birthday present. Don't go anywhere else go see the folks at the Pho

Honestly, the food is decent but they are completely incompetent at delivery. They manage their own delivery where I clearly stated "Leave at the Door, tip is in the mailbox" they even wrote it on the slip for the driver. Low and behold, 4 calls and 4 ringing of the doorbell later I have to STOP a meeting to go deal with this. If a simple direction is made - FOLLOW IT. When I called they made no attempt to fix their mistake or even apologize properly.

Best pho in the HRM!

The Chinese food is also the best I’ve had in Nova Scotia.

I’ve been going here for 8 years now and it has been consistently great.

The owners and staff are so kind and lovely!

I come to this place often, and order take out very frequently. Highly recommend the vegetable spring rolls and #9 pho. The staff here are so friendly, helpful, and care about their guests. They always welcome me by my first name and it keeps me coming back. Thanks again Pho Hoang Minh!

They have the best food out there. I moved to Halifax last year but still come over here for my 4 item pick! Staff is just wonderful!

The Pho was flavorful but the bean spouts and other vegetables weren't that fresh, would still come back as it was a decent price

Hot and fresh food, friendliest staff, orders always right, no bad menu items. Pho Hoang is a Dartmouth staple

Terrible customer service. Orders for pickup often wrong, then they try to blame you. Won’t be ordering again.

The food here is always really good and the service is even better if you’re looking for traditional Canadian Chinese it’s great but the Vietnamese food is even better their combos are perfect.

Always the best Vietnamese food in Halifax! Excellent service and great price. I've never had a bad meal here on over ten years.

I travel from Toronto, I tried Vietnamese food a long the road at Frederiction, Moncton and Charlottetown. This is the best restaurant I found especially Bun thit nuong cha gio. Food is delicious, prices is much cheaper compare to other places. Highly recommended.

5 stars! A hidden gem! Delicious pho. Quick and friendly service. And a convenient location with lots of parking. To be honest I've only ever gotten the pho so I can't comment on the rest of the food. But I keep going back for the pho again and again!

I have been going here for the last 5 years and have never been disappointed. The number 11 Noodle Soup and number 17 Vermicelli Noodles are my go to. The Meat egg rolls are delicious as well. Hope y’all are around for a long time!

Love their soup. New years eve was a bit chaotic and they fell way behind. My sweet and sour sauce must have burnt in the pan it had that taste.
23 February 2021 21:18
As this vermicelli bowl (spring roll+pork kebab version) was highly recommended by Andy Hay of East Coast Kitchen, I just had to give it a try. Great value and taste—like many of their other dishes.

My only tip is to get an extra order of the sauce to thoroughly coat and flavour the rice noodles.

P. S. I would typically get their special beef pho bowl—highly recommended.
