Pho Van - Étlap

Place was full and they were understaffed. Our servers were good and took our order when they had a break. Ordered the egg rolls, pork rolls and Pho Tai. Appetizers were not good. Egg rolls came straight from a box in my opinion and the pork roll was essentially bologna wrapped around some noodles. Pho was good, but as others have said a little sweeter than I'm used to. I will be back for the Pho, it's the only place in Havelock to get it.

The food at this restaurant was good, but unfortunately they increased the prices by around 30 to 35% which is just way too much for what it is. It was already pretty expensive, but I can't justify going back and paying what they are now asking. If you are going to increase the price, it is best to do it gradually, not all at once. I understand that is part of running a business having to adjust for changes in the economy, but eating out is part of most peoples disposable income, and unfortunately the consumer feels this also. There is only so much to go around. I wish them the best, but unless they recalibrate their pricing, I won't be going back.

We will definitely be back!! We came for Pho and we were completely satisfied. The broth was a little sweeter than what we are used to but that was easily corrected with a little sriracha. The quality of the meat really wasn?t bad, it was pretty decent even with the effects of COVID on the meat supply to restaurants. We received a fair amount of fresh basil and more than a fair amount of cilantro. I really didn?t see a difference in the amount of noodles from a medium to large, which you should, only a difference in the amount of juice. We got a small sliver, we are used to getting a wedge, of lime and it was very slight on the amount of bean spouts. This was all very easily corrected by ask...
