TIM C

First time here, visited both Sat and Sun, wait times were 1h both times so we decided to just order on our second try, we got the $12

Taste 1/1*
Tasted pretty good, nothing crazy amazing to justify the wait

Value 0/1*
Good value for the amount of food, bad for the amount of time spend waiting

Service 1/1*
Fast and friendly

Would rather spend our time else where if we were to wait for 1h for food

We’ve just move to Burnaby few months ago, first time visiting this lovely restaurant.
Our opinion of Greater Van pho so far are ‘it’s hard to find a decent bowl of pho’, and thus we’ve been trying multiple places throughout the months.

Taste 0.5/1*
Me and the wife both ordered pho (P7 for me & P15 for her)
Pregnant wife found the texture of the brisket to be too chewy, I thought it was acceptable
She liked the noodle texture, where as for me I found it too undercooked/hard
Overall taste was ok, definitely get that MSG overload feel after, will give 0.5 for the split decision on noodle and meat

Value 0/1*
Bubble tea slightly more expensive than other places at $6.85, but pearls included
Banh mi noticeably pricier at $11.xx including a pop

Service 1/1*
Had to wave a server down to get our order in after no one coming by 15min after sitting, but other than that nothing too bad

Cleanliness 0.5/1*
Good Reno and clean out front, but washroom was like a whole other world, dirty, messy and cleaning supplies on floor, makes one wonder what’s going on in the kitchen
Chipped Dinning wear also a cause for concern

Overall/Revisit 0/1*
As we have already found another spot that we enjoy more and closer to us, likely wouldn’t make the trip out here just for pho

Been wanting to try this place since moving to Van, place is smaller than expected, but the laid back feel of a neighbourhood pub is amazing, definitely hard to come by in downtown Van, little slice of home I guess
To give you a better impression of what to expect; cook was out front at the bar area playing nerf gun with a couple of the customers :D

Taste 1/1*
Ordered the bacon cheese burger, juicy, well balanced, and plenty of lettuce, one of the best pub burgers I’ve had
Onion rings were nicely seasoned and crispy

Value 0.5/1*
Decently priced menu, though having no happy hour was a little bit of a let down, especially when everywhere else has $4 beer for HH, and they had their in-house ar $5.50
For the $2 onion ring upgrade, 10 onion rings feel a bit skimpy

Service 1/1*
Standard neighbourhood pub style, quick, on point, and friendly

Cleanliness 1/1*
Aside from the normal wear and tear on the seating and table, I’d say it’s above average when it comes to cleanliness of a pub

Overall/Revisit 1/1*
Would definitely revisit whenever I’m homesick, or just feeling like having a good burger

Standard pub food and drinks, nothing outstanding nor disappointing.

Tried almost all the items on HH menu, $6 for 6pc of wings, $6 for a burger only patty and lettuce $8 for 4pc of prawn, nothing crazy but food were all average. Best item was probably the one server recommended, the pork soft shell taco, $6 for 2pc

Best part of the place was probably watching how great the server was at her job (forgot to grab her name), there were 12 tables at one point, all tables were attended to seamlessly, all while coming across as though she is simply walking around with zero rush, just amazing!
