If you like Korean food, fish sauce is what you can add in most of dishes. Kimchi must has fish sauce, soup and stew, stir frying and marinating…. also have fish sauce. Enjoy.

Oh another thing. The tea they serve you is very watered down. There is no tea taste. The bean sprout as mentioned in the review is definitely too small in volume as well as physical length.

The tea at North Van is always very hot and fragrant. Their bean sprout is always long and fresh and is given in large volume.

I was so excited when I saw Pho99 opened in Richmond because I will be moving to Richmond next month. I have been eating at the North Van one once a week for the last few years.
The first time I tried Pho99 when they just opened I was very pleased. The soup and noodle tasted great, but not as good as North Van; but close.
Then the next two times I went it degraded. The soup tasted very washed down and there were these baby flies all over the restaurant’s wall. The service degraded a little as well; they ask you to pay your bill at the counter rather than bringing it to you. I took about 4 weeks hiatus from this resturant and recently returned again. This time the flies are gone and the soup is better again. I will certainly come back again as I am a fan of Pho99, much better than West Lake which I used to go to every week over 10 years ago.

Sharkbait, many Vietnamese nationals are in fact Chinese by heritage, either as 1st-generation Vietnamese or from several generations down.

Went to Pho 99 in Richmond this evening. Wasn’t as good as the one in North Vancouver. Service was very good though and place is clean.

Food just didn’t taste as good as the other location. Don’t think that it would be the reason for the difference but the one in North Vancouver had Vietnamese waitresses and the one in Richmond had Chinese ones.

Great coincidence, I think we both visited this place, sat in the same booth, all in the same week! :) Nice to see the other non-noodle dishes and what they look like.
