Coming from the Bay Area where there's plenty of good Vietnamese food, Alysa's Pho is really good! They make good Southern style Pho here and it's authentic! The owners are from Saigon, VN so you know it's good :). The broth is so flavorful, so flavorful that I didn't need any sauces! It was honestly good as it is. Portions are huge and service is nice and friendly. Highly recommend trying for some authentic Vietnamese food in Victoria!

This is a classic mom & pop shop that served delicious Bahn mi! What an absolute treat. My partner and I have tried quite a few Vietnamese restaurants in Victoria, and this establishment is definitely top 2 for their delectable baguettes. Not too much bun, not too crunchy, great pickled veggies and wonderfully made pork and chicken. One bite in and we were blown away. Would have had rated it 5/5 stars but we had ordered a fried roll and it was so awfully greasy we couldn't finish it.. The one waiter was so lovely and pleasant, he was super polite!

We heard this place was good so we decided to try. We ordered a few items. The salad rolls was good, but nothing special. The lemongrass chicken on rice was better. The chicken wasn't dry and I can actually taste the lemongrass flavor, not like some other places.
The service was okay, it was busy and there was just one guy doing the orders, getting the food and doing the till. Maybe they didn't think it would be too busy on a weekday.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - D H.Seattle, WA03316Jun 4, 2024
Must have been an off day here. Stopped in for dinner based on the high ratings but all of our dishes (vermicelli bowl with lemongrass chicken and lemongrass chicken & rice + fried egg and a spring roll) were really just meh with very bland flavor. The inside of the spring roll was mushy and also bland. In every dish the fish sauce dip was the only saving grace. The place also seems to be 75% Skip/Uber etc. business as the inside was virtually empty. Staff was very responsive and nice. As far as ambience it was pretty basic with a big screen showing aquarium video and we got the feeling that they were still spacing the tables as they were during the pandemic. For me a restaurant's food followed by service and then ambience are the the top 3 requirements to strive for excellence. Here our experience was nowhere close to a 5 star.

Before we leave Victoria and we decided to come back again for the yummy food !
The boss is very friendly and pleasant, very nice guy. We need to order more as the kids love the beef ball so muchHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Jul 20, 2022Previous reviewThe service is very good and the gentleman is very sweet. Spring roll is crispy and good size. The pho soup base is yummy and portion is also high for us.
Highly recommend this restaurant if you are craving for Vietnamese Pho.
The traditional Viet Ice coffee is very good too !! - 2388943958Mar 17, 2020
Not a bad place for Banh Mi in the Victoria area. Got their chicken and Alysa's special to go. Both were served on fresh, toasty buns with tasty proteins. There wasnt much chicken to go around and the veggies weren't too plentiful either but the kind service from who i'm assuming is the owner makes up for it! She was friendly and wanted to talk with us and know where we were from!
Overall, go here just for the friendly faces but try out some tasty viet subs too!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - chris h.Victoria, Canada1161Feb 16, 2023
Our new favorite Pho place in town, so far the standard has been the Pho with spring rolls. The broth here is super flavorful, definitely recommend.

Well, it's not as inexpensive as the (outdated) menu photos will tell you, but it is good. Really, really good. I don't know that I've had pho this good before, let alone better. I want to dock it a star or two for the $17 pretax hit for a small brisket and tendon soup, but damn it, it's worth every cent. I'll be back.

Used to go to Pho tru, untill I tried Alysa's. The broth has great flavor and the portions of the large are massive.

I recently moved to Victoria from Ontario and immediately I noticed the lack of authentic Vietnamese foods ... until I found Alysa's Pho & Banh Mi. Today I ordered for take out Phở Đặt Biệt, bún thịt nướng chả giò, gỏi cuốn & chè dậu đỏ ... and everything was delicious ... just like in Ontario. This place truly serves up authentic Vietnamese dishes. I normally don't give out 5 stars in my reviews ... but this place serves up the best Vietnanese foods in Victoria by far. The portions are huge too ... so well worth the money. So happy to have found this place!
