Pho Hoang Minh Vietnamese Restaurant - Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

I’ve ordered from this place before. They’re friendly and their food has been good. Even after seeing the social media post of the chickens drying out on top of the green bins I still supported, silly me! Unfortunately, tonight was the last order for me. Not only did I find ... 1, not 2, but 3!!! Large strands of hair in the ginger beef…. AND then the beef and broccoli. I was so mortified I didn’t say anything to my guests, I went to the kitchen to inspect the rest of the food. Sorry folks. Won’t be returning. Read more

I’ll preface this saying that I am Vietnamese, and I’ve had Vietnamese Cuisine globally. The cuisine here is authentic Vietnamese and a good spot to get your fix, especially in a town like Dartmouth. The palate of the cuisine tastes more northern than south, but I don’t have a fact check for ... that. Ordering in Vietnamese was troublesome as the waiters(the kids) seem like they didn’t understand me. The mom knew how to speak Vietnamese and she was very nice. I’d eat here again. Read more

Updated review in 2024. Prices have gone up, understandable, but unfortunately, the quality of the food has dropped substantially since my last visit a year ago. It used to be one of my favourite places for good food and good value. I ordered my usual #15 tonight and it was ... missing peanuts, bean sprouts, green onion and the side sauce was sickly sweet, not the complex yummy flavour it used to be. I will go back once more in a few months to determine if this was just a bad night or if the quality has really gotten that bad. I can no longer recommend this place based on tonight's experience.

Broth is tasty. But my takeout order had the noodles already in my soup, so they're soggy and not good. I can't even pick them up with my chopsticks because they fall apart. Rice noodles should have some chew to them, be these just disintegrate. Also, my soup was 3/4 ... sprouts and 1/4 noodles anyway. Only had 3 overcooked pieces of beef in the whole bowl. Read more

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's good ... food at a reasonable price and there's not many of those kinds of places left these days. Read more
