Pho Soc Trang - Kelowna

Went for the pho and spring rolls. The spring rolls come out hot so you know they are fresh. They have a nice tasting filling with good consistency love them. I ordered a spicy bowl of chicken/rare beef and veg pho. It was the perfect amount of veg, noodles and meat. I like the spicy broth, your stuffed after a large pho but its all health and good eats.

I ordered the pork brochette to start which was ok. Small for $8. As always write any new Viet restaurant I got the pho. The waitress dropped off the usual side and bean sprouts, a few cilantro leaves and one(?) slice of jalapeño and a lemon(weird... I'm a lime guy) I was certain they must have forgotten the Basil... But alas. It's one of those places. Those places being the ones that either don't use basil(bad) the others are the ones that save money by not using it(worse). I'm not sure which this is but I'm starting to wonder if I should start packing my own. As expected the broth was underwhelming. Had none of those cinnamon/clove/cardamom and my fav the anise flavours associated with good broth. The broth was very cloudy and almost had a buttery smell which is odd. The broth was also very cloudy, not sure if one is a result of the other. I loaded up with siracha and hoisin just to give it "not just broth" flavour. I feel duped by the people who called this "the best pho" or even good pho. On the bright side the service was brilliant. But at $24 after tip for a bowl of soup and 2 small skewers, my hunt for a Pho Goto in Kelowna continues.

A great place just need to add some more noodles to their Pho! Very friendly staff... I keep going but needs more noodles!

Great food! Once you get there you know it is for the food. Nothing fancy inside. But it is a must while in Kelowna.

...and anything else you fancy on the menu. I always get the spicy lemon grass chicken Pho and it's fantastic. My daughter always finds something vegetarian and loves it. My hubby is a little more adventurous and always finds it delicious. We usually start with the spring rolls, which to me are not traditional Vietnamese spring rolls, but I'm not Vietnamese so I could be wrong. I like the ones made from the thin rice wraps and are sticky. The ones they serve are still good however - my dad said they were the best he'd ever eaten. Service is excellent, the price is very good. The only thing I don't like about this restaurant is it's closed on Tuesdays. I don't know why but I often crave Pho on a Tuesday!
