Pho Green Papaya - Vancouver

Highly recommended. beautiful restaurant decorations and delicious food

Pho was great. Deep broth, the steak and meatball was tasty. Brisket was a bit tough. Bahn mi pork, five stars . Crusty bread. Good char on the pork. Add extra jalapeños!

Super delicious! my beef stone had great taste and texture. my man had the combo record and said it was good! tried the bbq swam, and it was amazing. decent prices, large portions, great service, and it is sweet inside! can not wait to taste the other dishes, as everything seemed fresh and authentic.

A great place to eat lunch or dinner. Reasonably priced. I paid

One of the last Vancouver places on my list due to their relatively low ratings on Google. As I walked in the door, I was impressed with the dining room size and number of customers. The place was hopping! I love the decor, The big relief on one wall, it's fun, ethnic, and welcoming. I order the Bun Bo Hue Spicy Beef noodle and when it arrives, I am thrilled by the presentation. It has that rich, deep, red oil look that makes me want to drown myself in it. The tray of sprouts and basil is abundant. It has not only two kinds of basil and the chilis and lime, but it has Shizo leaves which I think is the first time I've even been served this with a broth. I loved the unexpected flavor profile it added. I was wondering why the restaurant only gets 4.3 on Google which although better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick lags behind many of its competitors. I was bang on eager to add a 5 star review. Based solely on the broth, I thought what a great place to come after a visit to Kaiser which is just a block or so away. I was so impressed that I ordered the Pad Thai to go for my wife, bless her soul. This is where problems arise like gas bubbles from a swamp. I drop it off with my wife and go about my duties and when I see her again I ask her, How was it? Although I can already tell there is something not right in the halls of Valhalla. She looks me dead in the eye and says, it's the worst Pad Thai she's ever had. For me... The standard on which all Pho places are judged is the broth. I am a fanatic. I would do laps in a good Pho, but for the sainted wife who not only puts up with me, but washes and organizes my underwear drawer, Pad Thai is her ultimate test of a restaurant's essential worth. She says it tastes nothing like Pad Thai. It contains copious bell peppers and that is all she can taste. I am shamed in front of my better half. I had given her rave reviews of the Broth, proud to have found such a treasure. Well, that certainly left me with egg on my face, or pho, as the case may be. I might sneak away once in a while to grab some Pho, but I certainly can't take the wife.
