Overall, Ho Guom is described as a bright, clean Vietnamese restaurant with generous portions, fast and attentive service, and a welcoming, authentic atmosphere. Many reviews note the BYOB option and appreciate the value, with large portions and fresh, flavorful pho and other traditional dishes. The staff are repeatedly praised for friendliness and helpfulness, though a few diners caution that some dishes can be inconsistent and that portions for certain mains may feel smaller for the price. Regulars mention a modern Vietnamese decor and a wide menu that includes staples like spring rolls, noodles, and beef or chicken pho, making this a go to spot for family and friends on the south shore.
Our first experience at this restaurant was wonderful. The food was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully prepared. The husband-&-wife owners were incredibly warm & kind, making us feel comfortable right away. Even during a busy time, the service remained attentive & welcoming.
We ordered quite a few dishes to try different items on the menu, & every plate was enjoyable. The coffee was also excellent & a perfect finish to the meal. We had a lovely time & would happily recommend this place to others.
The food is usually good, although the service might depend on the server you get or the mood for the day. I'm always open to suggestions but refusing to take my order because is too much food, That's a first!! I would believe is in the Restaurant's best interest to maximize their sales/revenue. & no, it was not a joke from the server. We were all in shock with his comments & demeanor that day.

On m'a servi du poulet au gingembre que j'ai bien apprécié.
Tout était frais & délicieux. Service rapide. Ils ont même de la limonade maison fraichement pressée!

I have been to this resto several times & I enjoy the food, the reception & especially the services. They have a special on Wednesday, even though it's super busy, the waiter & waitress (especially Huong) are always pleasant to fill our requests. I strongly recommend Hô`Guom for their authentic Vietnamese dishes.
Maybe it's because it's a bit past noon, een though there are a couple of servers on the floor compared to the high number of customers, the waiters are slow to answer the needs of a table & slow to notice a table needs service. Young man with glasses is a bit cocky & offers poor service. I'm rather unimpressed both with the service & the quantity & quality of the noodles... especially when a bowl of pho is now $19. There is very little noodles for a big bowl of soup noodles even though the price is 19$ & it's the highest price in the area for vietnamese beef soup noodles i have seen. Less noodle & not as good of a quality as it used to, both for the quantity of noodles & beef in a bowl is less than before & the quality is not much better.
Service & food quality in this restaurant is very inconsistent. It changes depending if you come for lunch or supper. It feels as though has more attentive staff & better service. Very unimpressive for this visit unfortunately.
Best Vietnamese food I've eaten. The basil sauce was extraordinary. The soup was expertly prepared & full of savory thin sliced meat. Opt for the crunchy noodles - it's an absolute boon to the texture.
Everything was amazing, the food was great, the atmosphere was fantastic & the staff is just out of this world, felt like the staff were my childhood friend group. Definitely recommend, this place is a must especially with the prices, 30$ gets you an entree, a soup , a big meal & dessert with tea.

Super belle place, belle ambiance, avec un service impeccable. Les gens sont content de servir les clients. La nourriture est super bonne! Authentique!
So glad to have found this restaurant on the South Shore! Great addition to the area. The food was fresh & delicious. Both the pho & the bun bo hue had broths that were light yet full of flavour. The service was efficient & well-organized, & the restaurant itself was very clean. Definitely will be back & it's BYOW which is always nice!
On y va pour une fête. Bel accueil, personnel attentionné & qui nous aide dans les choix.
La clientèle est principalement asiatique donc la bouffe est authentique & délicieuse. Je vais y retourner bientôt.
Quelle belle découverte que le restaurant Ho Ghûm !
Dès notre arrivée, tout était au rendez-vous. La nourriture est absolument délicieuse : savoureuse, bien assaisonnée & surtout pas grasse, tout en restant juteuse & généreuse. On sent vraiment la qualité dans chaque bouchée. Les portions sont énormes! vous repartirez plus que satisfaits !
Le table d'hôte offre un excellent rapport qualité / quantité / prix.
Le service était impeccable, avec un temps d'attente parfait (ni trop long, ni précipité).
& que dire de l'équipe ! Nous avons été servis par Nicolas (alias Nicolas Tremblay de Chicoutimi 😉), qui a été tout simplement exceptionnel : accueillant, drôle, attentionné & très efficace. Même s'il était notre serveur, toute l'équipe s'est montrée chaleureuse, professionnelle & polie, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus agréable.
Petit coup de coeur également pour les ailes de poulet. Un membre de notre groupe en est littéralement tombé en amour 🍗😍
Bref, une expérience complète : excellente nourriture, portions généreuses, service remarquable & ambiance conviviale. Je recommande sans hésitation, & j'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner ! ✨
Excellent restaurant (apportez votre vin) asiatique mais principalement vietnamien, première expérience mais nous y retournons. First visit to this Asian (Mostly Vietnamese) BYOB restaurant . We loved it & will definitely return.
