Caveat: we chose to try Pho Galaxy on the recommendation of the TA community... and its proximity to our hotel. Tbh, our first impression was a tad underwhelming. A tiny hole in the wall, family restaurant with old 70's style melamine tables and matching chairs,...dirty and faded old tile floor and very little in the way of decorations or visual appeal. The matron hurriedly pointed us to a table she had just wiped down and nonchalantly walked away. What were we getting ourselves into? Is this really the #6 restaurant in Chilliwack according to TA?
We chose to stay and placed our order, a number of phos (large and small)and some spring rolls. Let's review the pho first:
Beef broth excellent aroma and taste, large portion of noodles, and a healthy amount of meat (brisket, tendon, tripe, beef balls, etc.). For the amount of pho, a very reasonable price and it really was of high quality. Ample amounts of soy beans, lime, jalapeno peppers, etc included.
As for the spring rolls, also top notch; hot and crispy... and very tasty.
The proprietors are Vietnamese-Canadians as evidenced by the Vietnamese that was copiously bantered amongst themselves. Hence, the quality is excellent... and genuine.
If the aforementioned decor and interior setting was improved along with a little more personal service, this would be a 5 star in my books. As it stands, a solid 4.More
