Cloud Cafe

I came here on a weekday around 6ish looking for some pho. I was able to order at the counter and get seats immediately. I've tried many pho places around town and Cloud Cafe definitely ranked up near the top! I got the traditional pho with rare beef and it was excellent. The broth was light but filling and the beef was super tender. Definitely stop by if you're in the Beacon Hill area.Also, there's a handful of parking spots in front of the restaurant so you may also get lucky with parking which is nice!

Came in on a rainy night and the traditional pho really hit the spot! Served as is, the noodles were a bit clumpy, but they separated easily enough in the hot broth. Another note: compared to pho places in Metro Van, all the toppings are portioned out already (unlike at home, where it's usually a plate on the side and you decide how much Thai basil, bean sprouts, etc. you want). I didn't mind this actually as I tend to overdo it with the bean sprouts, haha.I also got the mango green tea with boba/pearls. The tea was great -- exactly what I was craving! The pearls needed to be cooked longer though. They weren't chewy enough.Service was friendly and the bright atmosphere matched. If I lived in this neighbourhood, I think Cloud Cafe would be one of my regular spots!

TLDR- this is your average ID Pho restaurant. There not pushing the flavor envelope. Or offering anything new or unique here. And sometimes you just want average. If that's how your feeling you'll be happy.

Surprisingly, the pho here is exceptional. I typically reserve that title for the hole in the wall restaurants where you are certain the food is amazing. Seems to be a fusion Asian restaurant but predominantly focuses on Vietnamese food. Such a close drive to my house and fulfills all my soup needs on those days you need something warm in your stomach. Small interior with semi complicated parking so I'd recommend finding a spot further into the residential area and walking over as it is on a busy street. You order first at the counter and then seat yourself.The first time we came here we LOVED our food. Brisket pho with added meats, and a pork lemongrass bánh mì which was to die for. The second time however, our bánh mì was cold- to the point where the fat in the sandwich was congealed and I could feel the cold meats as I was chewing. This was understandably disappointing because I don't expect cold food when I dine in. Haven't gone back since but if the consistency was there for me this would have easily been 5 stars across the board.

The place was decent, customer service was adequate, and the food was "so-so" according to my hubby. I personally liked what I ordered, albeit the salt content was pretty high. What, you thought? Yeah, I was super thirsty after eating. You know, the unquenchable type of thirst. Mind you, I had a glass of water and ordered a boba drink, when I got home I still felt thirsty throughout the night. The 3 stars is for the taste, hmmm I'm kind of agreeing with my hubby that it should be a 2 star. Sorry, not really. The size of the pho is smaller compared to other pho places we've been. Please cut the salt content, recylce older drinking glass, and tidy up the place a bit more.

Cloud Cafe is what Beacon Hill has been missing for many years - a pho shop! For OG Beacon Hillers, Cloud Cafe is in the old hair salon, Chop House, right across from El Centro. The owners are from Beacon Hill so it feels good supporting a legacy family and very local business. They have a smaller menu but I believe it's because they are still in their soft opening phase. Items are on the pricier side, but everything I tried was delicious. The pork belly bao is my favorite dish. It had a Granny Smith slice in it which was a unique and flavorful combo. The satay pho is also a highlight, slightly spicy but extremely flavorful.

This has been the most expensive pho I've ever paid for, but it's also the cleanest tasting pho I've had in a long time.Decided to try to place out after driving by it so many times the past month or two. It's a small little restaurant that has a bright and clean ambience. It's pretty quiet when there's only a couple customers, but when the house is packed... man, can it get loud. I felt like I had to start shouting once the dinner rush came in.So you order ahead at the counter and grab a table afterwards. The menu is fairly simple with appetizers, banh mi sandwiches, vermicelli bowls, pho, and drinks. Went with the pork belly baos as a starter and got the beef pho bowl.Pork belly bao had a small piece of meat in it and a slice of apple surprisingly. The sauce brought it all together and it was good. I don't think it's worth getting with the the small piece of meat that was in it. The beef pho was pretty good. Bean sprouts was already added to the bowl so there wasn't a side dish of veggies to add basil, bean sprouts, lime juice, or jalepenos to your liking. What's in the bowl is what you get I guess. I have to give props to the broth here. It was so clean and tasted wonderful. The amount of meat and noodles in the bowl felt like the right amount. It wasn't too little or too much of either. Very nice. The hoisin and sriracha sauces were available, but I didn't want to ruin the broth by adding them in.Even though the pho broth was good, I don't know if I want to pay such a hefty price for that again. I could probably get talked into it though haha!

Finally got to try this place and it was cute and lovely. Open, airy and bright space, order at the counter with friendly staff, fresh well flavored food. The garlic chicken wings were crispy, salty perfection. The lemongrass flavoring for the vermicelli beef was fantastic. My son also had the pho but I forgot to photograph it - the broth especially was delicious.Great Beacon Hill addition.

This place is too expensive for the quality and taste of food I have received Got it. When describing the taste, you might say something like:"The flavors of the pho combination and garlic wings fell short of expectations, as they lacked the vibrant and bold tastes typically associated with these dishes. The broth in the pho lacked depth, and the garlic wings were under-seasoned, resulting in a rather bland overall experience." NEVER COMING BACK. Idk how this place is in business. Because this place is a disgrace to Vietnamese food.

Stumbled upon this place after a climb and decided to give it a try. We got the traditional pho, shrimp spring rolls, pork spring rolls, fried egg roll, and the tiger milk tea with boba. The pho had a really good broth with tons of flavor. The spring rolls were super good and very filling. I love when spring rolls have the crunch factor of fried rice paper in it. It was some of the best spring rolls I've had in a while. Also the fried egg roll was very delicious as well! It came hot and crispy and it's packed with the pork filling! It came with a little veggies on the side and that was a perfect pairing to offset the pork. Then comes the boba, the tiger milk tea was a bit more on the watery side and the boba was a bit firm somewhat undercooked but it was still drinkable. The service was really quick and easy and the place has super cute cloud overhead lights! Definitely aesthetically pleasing.
