My search for pho that reminds of the ones back home continue. This time I am here to try out Pho 778. I had heard good things about it. How it's exactly how the pho in Canada is like. Owned by two people from Vancouver, it seemed promising. Right?It's a smallish restaurant with cramped seating. Menu is in English and Chinese. There is no 10% service charge and cash only. Serving various types of pho, they also had banh mi. Prices are no expensive and range under $100.They also had some pictoria

They also had some pictorial instruction on how to eat pho. I guess to just to explain the love of Siracha.
I ordered a raw beef and beef ball pho ($49). First the soup was at least hot. But it wasn't very beefy in flavor and had slightly strong MSG flavor to it. The raw beef was tender and the beef balls were pretty good. The noodles were just thick and completely the wrong noodles used in pho. It's the typical rice noodles that is used in a majority of the Vietnamese restaurants in Hong Kong.
It was an ok bowl of pho but it definitely wasn't the excellent ones I grew up on. This was just a typical one that is widely sold all over Hong Kong. The only thing is that it's at least not expensive like the other Hong Kong style pho. That is at least a bonus point. Might be back for a cheap bowl of pho and wish there really was a place that sold the pho I grew up on for this price. But so far, my search continues as this is not it.
