Chicken noodle soup may be the western world’s answer to the chilly season, but pho––pronounced “fuh”––takes the ultra-comforting broth approach much further. This steaming, aromatic meal is not an ancient dish; instead, it seems to have emerged in northern Vietnam just a few decades ago, before spreading quickly like a bowl of spilled sauce across the region and around the world.
There are lots of hearty pho variations to discover––northern and southern Vietnam have different approaches, for example, with the latter usually being heavier. And although versions of beef pho made with translucent broth, thin or flat noodles, various beef cuts and crunchy bean sprouts dominate, you’ll also find lots of choices based on chicken, pork, seafood, deep-fried tofu and more.
Whichever option you go for, you’ll likely feel full for several hours––in fact, it might be the only meal you need all day! Hungry? Richmond is brimming with possibilities for pho aficionados and curious first-timers alike. Read on for some tasty recommendations. And don’t forget to post your images to social media using the hashtag #RichmondMoments––we’d love to see your top pho picks!
PHO 37
#1008 – 8300 Capstan Way and #3120 – 11666 Steveston Hwy, Richmond, BC
A short walk from Canada Line’s Capstan Station (there’s also an Ironwood Plaza satellite branch), this popular and highly welcoming spot is ideal for pho first-timers. You’ll find a good selection of different options here––almost all of which are priced under $20. Why not spend your winter discovering each variety? Add a specialty Vietnamese coffee for an extra shot of winter warmth.
HONG PHAT
#100 – 8291 Ackroyd Road, Richmond, BC
Opened in summer 2025, this Vietnamese icon started as a Saigon noodle cart in the 1970s. They’ve since honed their signature Phnom Penh-style noodle soup to perfection, winning back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand accolades en route. If it’s your first visit, go for the richly flavourful Hu Tieu Nam Vang, swimming with a generous array of pork cuts, velvet-soft quail eggs and two shiny shrimp.
PHO ANH VU
#150 – 4751 Garden City Road, Richmond, BC
With multiple branches in Eastern Canada, Pho Anh Vu finally arrived in Richmond with a spacious new restaurant in early 2025. Famous for its authentic approach, they serve eight beef pho options here––in small, large and belly-filling extra-large sizes––ranging from their rare beef and beef balls Pho Tai Bo Vien to the signature Pho Dac Biet, which comes with five different types of beef.
PHO AN NAM
6820 No. 3 Road, Richmond, BC
A city centre favourite with lots of loyal fans, there’s a huge array of traditional, homestyle and well-priced bowls to choose from here, with ingredients ranging from beef rib to beef tripe and from chicken meatballs to Vietnamese ham––there’s also a vegetarian option made with a vegetable soup base. Still hungry? Add a side dish of their delicious spring rolls to keep you well fortified!
Pho Ten
#130 – 11080 No. 5 Road, Richmond, BC
Another homestyle joint with a full menu of good-value dishes––including a full page of pho options. The bowls here come in small and large sizes (there’s even a special kids meal version) with beef varieties dominating––you’ll find options including brisket, tendon, rare steak and more. We recommend arriving off-peak since the tables are often full during main dining hours.
Pho Khang
#206 – 10111 No. 3 Road, Richmond, BC
A bright and friendly spot with a genuine commitment to authentic dishes, there’s an excellent selection of pho options to dive into here. You’ll find multiple beef varieties (consider the beef brisket and meatballs) as well as seafood, vegetarian and Vietnamese ham versions. Need more? Add some deliciously crispy deep-fried shrimp rolls to your order.
Banh Mi Tres Bon
#1840 – 4270 McClelland Road, Richmond, BC
This delightful contemporary Vietnamese restaurant is famous for its Banh Mi (crunchy-crust traditional baguette sandwiches)––we love the lemongrass chicken version! But they also offer a boutique array of three perfectly prepared pho versions, including a beef option, a chicken version and a luscious vegan bowl made with tofu, daikon and oyster mushrooms.
Pho 68
#150 – 4651 No. 3 Rd, Richmond, BC
Located right below Superstore on No. 3 Road in city centre Richmond, Pho 68 has quickly gained lots of loyal fans since opening here in 2024. Hungry pho fans come for its array of good-value bowls that combine both northern and southern Vietnamese approaches. Try their special northern-style pho with ginger minced steak or consider the chicken pho with boneless cuts or chicken balls.
