It's on Fraser Street just south of Kingsway. You can't miss it.

According to this
site on pho I quote,
"Northern style pho tends to be simpler and is made with less ingredients. There are fewer cuts of meat and small slices of ginger are laid on top of the soup. The pho is served without bean sprouts or herbs. Instead, it is accompanied by green chilies and lime only. Southern style pho is a complex dish made from a dozen ingredients. Bean sprouts, fresh basil and saw herb are typically served with each bowl. As with the Northern style pho, green chilies and lime are used as condiments."
So I guess there really are no places that serve real Northern style pho? My closest guess would have been Au Petit Cafe and maybe Kim Phung.
