Pho An Nam

I was supposed to visit John 3.16 next door but was turned down by the crowd and the line up, even at 8:45pm on a Monday. An Nam has been my regular for the last few years. The menu has no surprises as most of the items are very standard Vietnamese food in Canada. The waitresses have always been attentive and good mannered. Eat, pay and leave, I had want I wanted. Always no complaint. They did check my vaccine proof as I entered.

Service is so bad it only deserves 0 star. I know everyone is having a hard time during this period but don’t show it. We are still “customer”. We didn’t order a lot since we are not that hungry. We just somehow crave for a bowl of Pho. The server was okay in the beginning. When she saw we didn’t order a lot, her attitude had a 180 turn. It’s like just eat your pho and begone. Definitely won’t be coming back again.

This is one of my favourite place for Pho in Vancouver. I've been supporting them from their old location on Granville Avenue. since 2011, and they were forced to relocate because of redevelopment in that little tiny strip mall on Granville Avenue and I had followed them to this new location on No. 3 Road since. Their current location is tucked in in the little strip mall where IHOP, Wo Fung and John 3:16 are also located. So parking could be a bit tense there. Back then their pricing was their competitive edge, but since covid, the prices have really soar. I remember paying $13 for a meal combo that includes a bowl of pho, spring rolls and a drink. Now the combo is $16.50 and the pricing wasn't increased overtime. The Bahn Mi combo was $8.50 back then and now just a Bahn Mi itself costs $8. For a $8 sub, I think they could add a little more pate and or meat to justify the pricing. Regardless of the price increase, their spring rolls are a must order and their Spicy Beef and Pork with thick vermicelli soup comforts your soul in the cold weather. It's very addicting! Their Phos are also very good. The grilled pork and lemon grass chicken with an egg on rice comes with a bowl of soup (which is just the pho broth) and it's one of their popular order there too. Price: $8 - $20 / per person Taste: Sub: 3.3 / 5 Pho: 4.7 / 5 Rice: 4.0 / 5 Atmosphere: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Seating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Price Performance ratio: Sub: 2.6 / 5 Pho: 3.2 / 5 Rice: 3.4 / 5

Bun Bo Hue (spicy noodles) is quite good here. Broth is flavourful and mildly spicy. The other dish, pork skewers, spring roll, and shredded pork on vermicelli is alright. I thought that they were not generous enough with the pork, given the price. Prices a bit on the high side, though, the service is attentive and quick. Recommended for the noodles.

Pho is good here! The prices are okay and service is nice and friendly. I am a regular now at this Pho place! It’s delicious and hits the spot when a Pho craving comes by. My SO always has the rare beef rice noodle soup and enjoys it. He likes it with the pepper they add on top as well. My meal selection varies but when I had the noodle soup with tripe and beef. I would say the tripe portion was a little disappointing in my soup but overall I found the noodles and broth tasty. As for the vermicelli, my mom had it with the pork, and she did not like it at all. I guess I wouldn’t recommend their vermicelli bowls but their rice noodle and soup instead.

We used to love here so much and we came so so so many time. But the lady who served here on a thursday afternoon was incredibly rude, she doesn’t know what she is going and disappointed us badly. I hope the owner train your staff to deal with clients issues in a more appropriate way. The food is okay, used to be great. But you lost a loyal client from your client service. Good luck An Nam.
