Got Pho Thien Kim Vietnamese Restaurant Ltd

This little unassuming Vietnamese restaurant tucked away on Nanaimo Street next to TD Canada is hands down my favourite Vietnamese restaurant in Vancouver. It’s definitely a no frills location but it is clean enough and the service is always friendly. I really appreciate that this restaurant doesn’t use MSG (or at least very little) because I hate the thirsty after taste I usually get at Vietnamese restaurants.

This place is right nearby. I enjoy picking up a good inexpensive meal here pretty regularly. The house sauce is great. Get spring rolls for sure!

The Pho here is great, the broth is excellent. We ordered the dry vermicelli dishes the other day, the portions were very good, and the meats were full of flavour. The salad roll was very fresh, and the fried rolls were crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The service is good, the waitress was very friendly. It's a great place to go if you have a Pho craving.

The peanut satay soup is one of the best I've ever tasted

Best Pho around. I've been to a TON of Pho places in the lower mainland, and without question this is the best in my opinion. Mainly, I admit, because of their chili satay sauce that they make. As opposed to the generic chili oil you'll find in most Pho places, this one is very rich in flavour, not nearly as oily (at least it doesn't seem to be; compare the wonderfully thick sauce here with the container 1/2 full of just oil in most places), and deliciously spicy. You can even buy a jar of it here, which is great so I have it at home for the many times I do take-out from here.<br/ <br/ In addition, their pho is just great. You'll find the usual suspects compared with most Pho, but my go-to dish is Seafood and Pork with egg noodles. I've ordered this same dish at many, many Pho places, and Got Pho is again, the best. They pack in more meat than most, with a lot more variety and some really great pieces (some kind of fish cake thing that is AMAZING and a friend shrimp thing) that I haven't gotten anywhere else.
