Review Summary

Pho Rachel is widely recognized for its comforting homemade dishes, particularly its flavorful broth and high quality noodle soups. While most visitors appreciate the friendly service, the cozy atmosphere, and the fresh, authentic ingredients, opinions are occasionally mixed regarding the consistency of the meat quality in the chicken dishes.

Lovely owners & food! I had a matcha with pearls, it was really delicious. I also had the wonton chicken pho with noodles, it was amazing. Very comforting. I will be back!

The chicken Pho was just bland boiled chicken breast & the noodles were undercooked. Great service though.

I went in at around 2:30pm on a Monday for lunch. I was the only one in the restaurant. The server was cordial & attentive. I ordered the beef pho noodle soup, medium sized & it was ready within 5 minutes. The broth was absolutely delicious. Best broth I've had in a while. The serving of meat was pretty good too. It was served with a plentiful amount of bean sprouts, coriandre & lime on the side. I'd definitely recommend for a quick meal.

It's a cute little place! The price is very fair, we paid 13$ for the medium bowl, & 14$ for the large beef pho. Service was also very quick. Taste wise, it's okay, the broth is a little too salty & the meat was a bit chewy. You can also see in the picture that the green veggies are looking a little sad. The noodles were really nice though, & the portions are good for the price!

Nice little restaurant with a handful of vegan & vegetarian options. I started off with some vegé imperial rolls which were tasty & densely packed. For our mains, we got the vegetarian pho (made with veg broth) & tofu crispy noodles. The pho was good & full of tofu & veggies. The crispy noodles itself lacked some flavor but the tofu & veggies were decently flavored. Staff were really nice, good experience overall.

I dont get the high ratings. The chicken in my pho was definitely not fresh (it had the old cooked chicken taste). Clearly leftover meat. The fried banana is half a banana wrapped in a wonton wrapper...not typical & wayyyyy too expensive for what you get. I had viet fried banana before in real batter that came with ice cream for cheaper. The broth does not have much flavor except salt. The noodles are not your typical again (more spaghettini like) but I didn't dislike them. The extra little fried onions sprinkled on top of the pho were nice but this is the only positive thing about it. They also forgot to include the little bag with bean sprouts/sauces/basil in my take out...I think there's way better pho out there if you really want good pho & youre down to travel a bit further (e.g., Chinatown).

Regarding the beef pho (soupe tonkinoise):

Noodle & meat portions are ok for the price. The beef quality is good---all the cuts were juicy & flavourful but I feel they could've added a bit more. First few sips of the broth were very nice but afterwards its sweetness was quite overpowering. I suspect they use quite a bit of sugar/MSG which is not very pleasant especially if you like to drink the broth while you eat. You may be unsatisfied with the portion size of the iced coffee as the ice:liquid ratio is not balanced.
