- Eating V.Victoria, Canada0153Jun 20, 2010
Pho Vy is easy to walk-by, but I suggest that you don't, you won't regret it. Sure, this isn't the type of place you go for silver service, but the food is well-timed, and above-all the quality of the ingredients comes first. This is a restaurant perfect for a) getting full but also b) getting some authentic Vietnamese flavours. The atmosphere is simple but charming, making it ideal for a fun lunch amongst other chatty customers excited for pho or a satisfyingly fresh salad roll.
We walked into Pho Vy( which is always relatively busy for good reason), and felt immediately at ease. We were sat by a quiet and polite server who brought myself a sweet Vietnamese coffee( $3.75), which dripped away as our conversation began. The menu is extensive with many combinations and appetizers, soups and rolls. My friend went for the Vietnamese sausage salad roll($7.45) and I opted for a vermicelli rice noodle dish with lemongrass chicken($9.75), and a crispy spring roll with prawns. The greatest highlight of Vietnamese cuisine for my taste is the use of fresh herbs and crunchy raw vegetables.
My bowl arrived heaped with carrots, cucumbers and bean sprouts, accompanied with a fish-sauce sweet and sour liquid which I hurriedly poured over the noodles. I ask my friend how his salad roll is, and he nods up and down frantically , mouth-full. Every bite is packed with flavour and freshness, I'm always happy after having a meal here.
This is a great restaurant to bring friends to who have never delved into V. cuisine. It's located on the left side of Fort St.(if you're walking away from the water), in between Douglas and Blanshard.
Cheers

I wasn't planning on getting pho during my visit to Victoria, but when I walked by this spot many times and each time saw that it was PACKED inside, I figured I probably should give it a try. We came for lunch on a Sunday, and were able to snag a table before it got busy.
Between the two of us, we shared a pho dac biet and a bun bo hue. The portions were MASSIVE and a lot more than we expected - we couldn't finish it all, and we usually eat a lot. The pho broth was great, light yet flavorful and paired really well with the noodles. These noodles are interesting in that they're slightly thicker than the usual thin rice noodles I'm used to. The pieces of meat inside were also really yummy, and I especially liked the beef balls which had a really nice seasoning to them. The bun bo hue on the other hand was also fantastic. Really well seasoned with a strong lemongrass flavor, which also left the broth a little gritty at the bottom. Both soups here were great which is really the key indicator of a good restaurant.
Service was really fast an efficient, which made sense because of the high rate at which they need to turn over tables. This was slightly irritating at times, but nonetheless was good because service was fast.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - sandy s.North Vancouver, Canada03Jun 22, 2024

Came here on a Sunday night around 6:30ish with my partner. There were a good number of tables filled, but we got seated right away. We both got the bun bo hue and a blended strawberry drink to share. The bun bo hue was actually the reason we decided to come here versus some other Vietnamese restaurants in the area; a lot of other restaurant have "spicy pho," but we were looking for actually bun bo hue in which they use the round rice noodles. It did not disappoint--good lemongrass flavor and it was definitely a good amount of spice! They were generous with the meat as well. The strawberry drink was also tasty--can taste actual strawberry and not just artificial flavoring/syrup.
Service was good and prompt. We got checked up on once during our meal, and we didn't have to wait long to get our bill when we were ready. They also gave some yummy guava candy for each of us with our bill! I recommend coming here for a bowl of their bun bo hue if you're craving delicious spicy noodle soup when you're in Downtown Victoria.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jennifer F.Syracuse, NY65341Jan 7, 2024

Service is good. The staff are always nice and the food is great. Sprouts, basil, peppers and limes are always fresh. Floors, tables and washrooms are clean and are always being cleaned. I hope that you enjoy pho vy! It's a great restaurant

This is the second pho place I have been to on my trip. I think this one tops the other one. The chili oil is *a chef's kiss*. I ordered number 29 which was brisket and flank. The broth was delicious, I did add a bit of hoisin, hot sauce, and fish sauce to spice it up a bit. I also ordered the large, which is very large and kept me full for the entire day. This spot is also great for lunch because they are speedy even if you want to sit down and have lunch with some coworkers! If you are in town you should definitely check them out. My friends got the Vietnamese coffee and I am a little jealous that I didn't pull the trigger.

Solid pho, nothing fancy. Short, nearly rude staff.
Good prices + the medium will fill you up. Spring rolls came ahead of time and were quite filling.
Had a lot of awards posted in the windows - nothing spectacular but a good bowl of pho overall.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Amina T.Courtenay, Canada0127Feb 17, 2024
