Authentic! Came here for dinner with my wife and our friend in between watching our daughter's volleyball tournament at Rick Hansen Secondary. We are always looking for a Pho place to eat any time we travel, so this looks like the place! It is located in an outdoor strip mall (it has a feel like we are in LA near Disneyland). Place was spacious and clean. Family run business so you know you are getting the traditional experience.

Some seriously good pho here. Everything you need is on your table and is shockingly busy even on a Sunday. (I guess this is as good as the reviews I heard) If you can get past the part of the ancient plaza and purple walls, I recommend them and would certainly go again.

Easily the best pho broth in town. Consistently great food paired with fast friendly service. I was reluctant to visit this small family owned and operated restaurant because of the appearance from the outside. I'm glad I took a chance and finally gave it a shot. They definitely focus on producing good food rather than try to lure you in with expensive decor etc. If you love great pho and don't mind watching the various family members do side jobs in the middle of the restaurant, give this place a try!!

Great food, great price and ok service. That's a good thing, because you remember the food and price, don't have to focus so much on service, at least that's what is important to me.

Had #15 med. Great price. Quiet atmosphere. Cute little tucked away pho joint. 100% will return.

I can now say that this is one of the best Vietnamese restaurants I’ve ever visited. And let me tell you, I’ve visited/tried many Pho Restaurants before. Specifically, I ordered the Chicken Pho Đac Biet and the Ca Phe Sua Đa, and would definitely recommend you order the same if you are stumped on what to order. If you like sweet coffees then the Ca Phe Sua Đa is a must! (One if the best I’ve ever tasted) I’m super impressed with the amazing customer service and the quality of the broth for the Pho. If you are in the area and craving a hot noodle soup, or in the mood for some Vietnamese food then Pho Abbotsford is a no-brainer for your next meal.

Always so good! Always the best pho over the last 15 years! After being away from bc for more than five years, I finally decide to fly over the pacific and drive all the way to this restaurant! Every sip makes me want to cry. Even the smell of these pho and grilled meats makes me drooling!

This is a childhood place for me, been coming since I was a kid with my family growing up, sadly not so often anymore as I have a different schedule. I've been to many Pho places around the mainland, and had many in Vietnam. I can definitely say this is some of the best Pho I've had, I usually only order the meal ball or beef variation and the broth has incredible depth and rich flavors. Good amount of onions and the soup is always delivered so hot and fresh. Also their lemon grass chicken with rice is the best I've had, no other place has come close to beating this one and you have to have it with the fish sauce. Game changing. Their spring rolls are great too, overall this place definitely beats a lot of spots, I am putting it top 3 beside my Grandma and Mom's cooking!
