Reviews for Pho Hoang Minh Restaurant in Dartmouth, NS
They do both Vietnamese and Chinese food but I would only go there for the Vietnamese dishes. I've had the Pho and noodle bowl,... both are as good as any I've had in Asia. It's a no frills place so don't expect any ambiance but the price reflects that. It'sgood food at a reasonable price and there's not many of those kinds of places left these days. Read more
Menu was disappointing. Expected to see more Vietnamese dishes but it seems to be mostly Chinese. Restaurant looks nice enough... but smelled like a musty damp basement. Maybe from the mop? Strange. I waited a long time for service despite being the onlyperson in the restaurant. Waited several minutes after I received my meal for my beverage and utensils. Waitress was friendlythough. Pork spare ribs were barely warm and had an unpleasant aftertaste as if they had been sitting around for a while. Porkvermicelli bowl was ok. A bit bland, not much meat, and too much bean sprouts burried under the rice noodles. I mixed them inbefore I realized. Overall it didn't seem to be as authentic, fresh, and flavorful as what I'm used to back home in BritishColumbia (see my other reviews). I hate to leave a low rating but that was my experience.

My Wife and I have been going to the Pho since it opened. We have never had anything but spectacular food, friendly service and... a warm reception. The noodle dishes and Chinese food are second to none in the city if not Eastern Canada. You will be doingyourself a great disservice if you do not order the rice rolls with pork and shrimp. Always a spectacular experience. You alsohave to love a restaurant that knows when it's your birthday and gives you a birthday present. Don't go anywhere else go see thefolks at the Pho Read more
Very good food. I really enjoy seeing the boss cut up the meat from the restaurant through to the kitchen. At least this way I... know it did not come out of a bucket of saline SLIMEY solution, like some of the other restaurants. This is very fresh honestfood. a very good family business. Very nice Read more
Fast service, large portions, and a big menu. We ordered the beef pho and the pork and vermicelli dish and both came out within... 5 minutes. The bbq pork that came was the vermicelli was delicious and had a smokey flavour and the beef strips in the pho had abit of red to it when it came out but cooked well in the broth. One thing I didn’t enjoy was having a view of the kitchenwhile eating and watching the chef cut up the raw meat while eating. Otherwise good Vietnamese restaurant in a convenientlocation with lots of parking. Read more
As this vermicelli bowl (spring roll+pork kebab version) was highly recommended by Andy Hay of East Coast Kitchen, I just had to... give it a try. Great value and taste—like many of their other dishes. My only tip is to get an extra order of the sauce tothoroughly coat and flavour the rice noodles. P.S. I would typically get their special beef pho bowl—highly recommended. Read more
It's nice to find a restaurant that has good food at an affordable price. The portion size was quite large and the egg rolls... (though heavy) were satisfying. The exterior and interior designs are quite basic, but don't let that turn you away. Thecustomer service more than makes up for it. The woman who served me was pleasant and quick to notice if I needed anything. Justa nice, reliable restaurant to have in the area. Read more
Very welcoming atmosphere. The main waitress has this uncanny ability to not only remember you personally but what you... typically order, even if you havent been in for months! My elderley parents refer to it as that "mom and pop" place. Read more
