We entered the restaurant for early lunch and the restaurant was steady, with plenty of available seating provided to us. The server was kind, polite and served us quickly. We split some salad and spring rolls, which were fresh and tasty, with crisp vegetables and a great crunch. Each of us had the noodle bun and it was a generous... More

Whenever we're in Nanaimo, Pho a Dong is a main stop. Great exercise to the top of the hill from the marina. Very good Vietnamese flavours and a nice selection of items on the menu. Love their spring-rolls and they are always served fresh from the fryer, not warmed up. Salad rolls are very good as well. Soups are awesome... More

Always great, affordable Vietnamese food with friendly and fast service! My favourites are always spring rolls and salad rolls! Yummy! The location is great as it is right near the Old City Quarter! Not sure what there hours are though as it seems I have often gone and it is closed.

This restaurant is one of the only place in Nanaimo that I would never hesitate to go. The food is always great and the pho broth never ceases to amaze me. The price is very good (~12 dollars for a bowl of pho) which makes it very nice for a student such as me. Only bad thing I should mention... More

Crazy good food and great prices! The dinning area is really small but the incredible food outshines the small space. We quite often do take out.

I have frequented this little homey restaurant for several years. The food is fresh & clean tasting. My favourite dish is their chicken or seafood hot pot. When, we were in Asia this dish was called clay pot. For appetizers, I enjoy their crispy spring rolls or their fresh salad rolls. Their pho is a real treat, as well. The... More

Best Asia place in downtown, if you are on the north side try the Pho Boy, the rest are not in the same league. I love the soups here. Great value for money, their is finer dining in town but not at these prices. Love it!

My buddy has been getting the number 21 I think (pork on noodles with some vegetables and spring rolls) Simply amazing. You mix the remaining fish sauce into the meal and add hoisin and chili sauce to taste. Then simply enjoy I order this dish exclusively and I also order it at huong LAN (#25 there) This place is worth... More
