Pho Central - Saint Ives Australia

Good place to have Vietnamese food in west end. Ambience was okay and seating arrangements were little crowded. Food was perfectly prepared. Nice place to visit if you are in Vancouver and want to have Asian food.

Next to ramen houses, Vietnamese pho eateries are plentiful in the West End.  One of the popular ones is Pho Central which has been in business for over 8 years now.  They are a casual eatery with a modern interior serving pho, vermicelli bowls and banh mi for eat-in or takeout.  Prices are budget-friendly with items under $10.

Good place .. but something is missing compared to when they were across the street at the other tiny location. I am not sure if they changed the cook or what but, the soup is not as rich anymore. I used to go there with my wife once every 7 to 10 days. It was our West End pho fix. They changed to the larger place and, we went 3 times during the month.... we both consistently felt things were not as good. The spring rolls are tasty but are too small for the price. Hey! It is the West End... we expect the best value in the GVRD when it comes to food. So... they are good (but sorry... we go down the street a couple of store fronts to get our pho fix now

Best pho in the west end of Vancouver. As a pho fanatic I’ve tried them all. So good!

I had been to Pho Central when it was at the old location. It was filthy and tiny, though their pho were good. I had always walked by it and seen how full it was, so I suspected that their pho must be still good. I met a with a friend for lunch around 1pm. It wasn’t overly busy, so it was good timing. The interior was quite spacious and nicer than most other whole in the wall pho places. In fact, this must be the best one I’ve been to in Metro Vancouver area. It has a bar on one side with blue LED lighting which gives it a modern, moody look.
