Pho North Vancouver

Pho North Vancouver sits at 128 E 14th Street in Central Lonsdale, a few blocks east of the Lonsdale-and-14th intersection. It's a neighbourhood-scale Vietnamese restaurant, not a destination spot — sit-down counter and table service, dine-in plus take-out and delivery, no specialty cocktail program. The defining strength is the pho broth: customer-cited consistently for being aromatic without leaning sweet (a complaint sometimes levied at less-careful pho counters), and served with generous portions.

The menu covers the Southern Vietnamese repertoire: pho across the standard cuts, vermicelli (bun) bowls with grilled meats, banh mi, spring rolls (both fresh goi cuon and fried cha gio), Vietnamese subs, noodle soups beyond pho (including bun bo hue), curry chicken, rice entrées, fried rice, and seafood chow mein. Vegetarian pho is on the menu — the broth uses vegetables and mushrooms rather than beef bones.

For first-time visitors the practical order is straightforward: a regular pho bowl (rare beef or beef-and-brisket) plus a banh mi to take away, or a vermicelli bowl with grilled pork or chicken. Customer notes consistently highlight the grilled pork and chicken banh mi as standout sandwich fillings — the kitchen does a good lemongrass-marinade preparation.

The restaurant is open Monday through Friday 11 am to 9 pm, and Saturday and Sunday 11:30 am to 9 pm. Reservations are accepted but not required for most weeknights. Delivery is available via the major platforms. Pricing sits at the standard Vietnamese-Canadian tier — pho in the high teens, vermicelli bowls around twenty, banh mi around ten to twelve dollars. The space is clean and comfortable; it's a regular-dinner restaurant for Central Lonsdale residents rather than a special-occasion stop.
