Pho 99 Coquitlam Center

We had not been here since the start of the CoVid pandemic. It 's still a busy restaurant. The restaurant made a little change, it got rid of the round table and added a few square/rectangular tables instead, making it more spacious. They had also set...up plexiglass in between tables, and not letting other sit/share with you on the long tables. We ordered our usual: Beef noodle soup #1, House Special #14 noodle soup, grilled pork sub and Combo A: large beef noodle soup, rice plate with pork slices and spring rolls. Food portions had always been big and taste good. Service in this restaurant had always been ok to average. It 's like a quick service restaurant.

Great noodle soup. My favorite is the #3 noodles with well done brisket and flank steak thinly sliced. My husband loves their fried egg rolls. But their salad rolls are half the size and not as good as before. But all in all it's our...go to vietnamese restaurant. Prices have gone up slightly . But still affordable m

We were in the Pinetree Village area of Coquitlam for some personal business the other day, and when finished, lunch was definitely in order. We saw Pho 99 nearby, so handy, decided to give it a try. Walked in about 11 am, liked how we...were greeted, what we saw, and headed to the table directly in front of the service counter. Service was good — our server brought hot tea (pot and mugs) and menus quickly (a large placemat type showing all offerings, and a small one of lunch specials), and provided some needed help with ordering. What we (a threesome) ordered and shared — ‘Combo A’ a lunch special of rice w/pork, large (beef) pho, and two spring rolls — and added an order of chicken wings. Our food order came from the kitchen to table in a timely manner except for one minor ‘wrinkle’ in the serving sequence. We had hoped to see the wings first, as a sort of appetizer, but they arrived last, and well after everything else almost wings for dessert ok, but not expected. Servings were well sized, and all arrived looking good. The dishes were well prepared, ingredients plentiful, and nicely and distinctly flavoured. Pho — broth warm and tasty, beef (two kinds) tender, and juicy, vermicelli noodles cooked perfectly, condiments fresh, and crisp. Spring rolls — warm, large, crispy coatings, and well stuffed with tasty ingredients. Rice pork — pork warm, well seasoned, very tasty, salad cool, fresh, and crisp, rice warm and good. Chicken wings — large, plump, nicely seasoned coating, tender, moist, chicken. All accompanying sauces flavourful and tasty. We enjoyed our lunch at Pho 99 — small place, rather quiet ambiance, friendly staff, good service, and well prepared food. It really did turn out to be what we were looking for, and sure hit the spot after a rather active and busy morning.

Go To place for fast and cheap for huge bowls of pho. Piping hot broth with double the meat of other pho restaurants. Additional bean sprouts, basil and lime wedge upon request. Incredible value for what you get

Return visit with 3 friends. Place is always busy. Great choice on the menu. Everything arrived hot and tasty. Excellent service as well. I’ll be back
