Frank Schabler's 5 Star Review For Ngoc Van in Regina, SK

I am searching for the best Pho in Regina. This place was recommended by a colleague at work who is a Regina resident. I came in on a Monday as they are closed Sundays. Although there was only 2 others dining at the time there were many takeout orders at during my stay. I ordered spring rolls(13b.), steamed pork bun(11) and Sliced Steak, Beef Shank, Tendon & Tripe Pho(52d.) The spring rolls came out very quickly followed by the pork bun. Both were good. Spring rolls very crispy and more vegetable based, pork bun had pork and some boiled egg. My pho was fine but not the best I’ve ever had. Monday is a great day to order because of the fact they receive their beef on Mondays as I overheard the owner mentioning to another guest. The beef was fresh and plentiful, there was an adequate amount of noodles which were nearly overdone. Having said that I was disappointed in the broth, I felt it was watery and lacking flavour depth. It could have been remedied with chilli oil but there was no check back service. Overall it was a good experience and I’ll go back to try out some other items on their expansive menu.
