I've driven past Pho Van's neon light sign quite a few times when venturing into City Heights for Vietnamese food, but have never eaten there until now.It's easy to miss the sign on the side of the restaurant, advising of Parking In The Rear, as you drive past the alley right before the restaurant.There are also lots of street parking all around if you miss the rear parking lot. The restaurant was pretty much full house, with 2 small tables available when we went for lunch.The ladies are quickly dotting around the restaurant to take orders, run food and clear tables.They are very helpful with any questions or requests you may have.The man working seemed a bit confused the whole time he was trying to help out the whole time we were there for lunch. As it was a cold day, my partner and I were craving noodle soup, but something other than Pho.There is a nice selection of other noodle soups offered, aside from Pho here.I ordered Hu Tieu My Tho (#86) with Shrimp, Pork, Fishballs & Imitation Crab.It usually comes with glass noodles, but changed it to the wide flat rice noodles.My partner ordered the Bo Kho (#62) which is the beef stew with wide flat rice noodles. Service was good, except for an odd situation with the confused male worker that I mentioned.He brought over the Bo Kho my partner order, however it had skinny rice noodles and not the wide flat rice noodles ordered.He then told us that they made a mistake and put skinny noodles and asked if we were okay with that.We looked at him with confusion, not knowing how to respond, as we've never been asked if we would be okay with a mistake that the restaurant makes.Before we were able to tell him that we want what we ordered, one of the ladies yelled to him that it was for a different table and he just picked it back up and gave it to the the correct customer.As the "mistake" was resolved on its own, I didn't hold this against them for my review.Now, if it wasn't for someone else and he expected us to tell him if we'd be okay with their mistake, then I would have had an issue with their service. Usually when we order Pho, it comes out really quickly, but these noodle soup dishes took a lot longer than usual, but that's okay.The large size was indeed large and we couldn't finish our bowls.They sure don't skimp at this restaurant and are very generous with the proteins and offerings that accompany the noodle soups! Large at many other restaurants are about the same as the small size here. Both dishes were good and we got our hot noodle soup fix for sure! I will definitely be back for more meals in the near future and will have to try their Pho next time!
It was honestly, SO GOOD! We wanted to have some pho, just went to this place and it was amazing! It felt so homey and well done.The service was quick and friendly!
Really good choice for Vietnamese food.Don’t sleep on this place for breakfast, they open at 7:30/8:00AM
