Why Monk Fruit? We chose this traditional 'Origin' fruit because it's naturally sweet with Zero Calories and Zero Glycemic Impact. It’s the perfect healthy partner for our savory Pho!

From Vietnam to West Kootenay:
A Journey of Flavor
“My name is Tim, and my journey with food began long before I moved to Trail. With a degree in Food Technology and years of experience in the industry, I’ve always viewed cooking as a perfect balance of science and soul.
When I moved to British Columbia, I brought more than just my professional background; I brought my family’s recipes—most importantly, my wife’s Pho. At SEN Origin, we don’t take shortcuts. Our broth is a labor of love, simmered for 12 hours to achieve the clarity and depth that defines authentic Vietnamese soul food.
Currently working within our local healthcare system at KBRH, I understand the importance of quality and care in everything we consume. This pop-up at Warfield Hall is the first step in sharing the ‘Origin’ of my heritage with the community I now call home. We aren’t just serving soup; we’re serving a piece of our history.
I can’t wait to meet you at the table.”
Help Us Brew
Help us forecast the broth! We wake up at 3:00 AM to start our uncompromised 12-hour bone broth. Since we are strictly first-come, first-serve, drop your email below to let us know you're coming! We'll use this list to know how much broth to brew, and we'll send you a reminder the morning of the event (plus a 'Low Stock Warning' if we are about to sell out!).
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you a permanent restaurant? Where can I find you?
Right now, we operate as a grassroots pop-up! You can usually find us serving up steaming bowls of Pho at the Warfield Community Hall. Our long-term vision is to launch a fully mobile SEN Origin Food Truck, but for now, we announce our limited-run pop-up dates right here on our website and social media. Make sure to join our Inner Circle so you never miss a date!
Your bowls look different than other restaurants. What is the portion size?
You are getting a full, hearty meal! We use a premium 38oz (1,100ml) bowl for our large soups, which matches the standard Large/XL size served across Canada.
We specifically chose this diamond-shaped, deep-profile design for two important reasons:
- Eco-Friendly Material: We care about the environment. Our bowls are made from recyclable, high-quality material designed to reduce waste without sacrificing durability.
- 100% Spill-Proof & Piping Hot: Traditional wide, shallow pho bowls are notorious for spilling in the car. Our bowls are engineered to be deeper and narrower (under 7 inches wide). This vertical design locks in the heat so your broth arrives piping hot, while heavily minimizing the risk of messy spills during transit.
Because your noodles, meats, and toppings stack vertically rather than spreading out wide, the bowl can look smaller at first glance. We promise the volume is exactly the same—just safer for the planet and safer for your car seat!
What makes SEN Origin’s Pho so different?
We don’t do shortcuts, and we definitely don’t do mass-produced meals. We wake up crazy early (we’re talking well before dawn!) to extract rich, authentic 12-hour beef bone broth using commercial pressure cookers. It’s uncompromised, genuinely healthy, and exactly what you’d taste if you flew across the world to Vietnam.
Is it take-out or dine-in?
Both! You are more than welcome to grab a seat, hang out, and slurp your noodles with us at the community hall. But if you’re grabbing it on the go to eat at home, our packaging is perfectly designed for a safe and delicious ride.
What does the bowl look like, and how does take-out work?
We serve generous, soul-warming portions in sturdy plastic bowls with secure lids.
- If you dine in: We’ll hand you a piping hot bowl of Pho! You can then choose your favorite dipping sauces and grab a fresh lime wedge right at the pick-up counter.
- If you take out: We are serious about quality, and nobody likes soggy noodles! We pack the hot broth and meat in the bowl, but we pack your rice noodles and fresh herbs separately. When you get home, simply reheat the broth until it’s boiling, drop in the noodles and herbs, and boom—you have a perfectly fresh, restaurant-quality bowl of Pho right in your own kitchen.
Do I need a reservation or can I just walk up?
Nope, no formal reservations needed! We operate as a casual, grassroots pop-up, so it’s strictly first-come, first-served walk-ups. Just show up, soak in the good vibes, and get ready for some amazing broth.
Can I bring my own container?
Absolutely! We love it when our customers are eco-friendly. Just make sure your container is clean and large enough to hold a mighty bowl of soup (at least 38oz or 1.2 Liters). Hand it to us, and we’ll happily fill it up with our 12-hour liquid gold!
Is your Pho Gluten-Free?
Yes, the vast majority of it is naturally gluten-free! Our signature 12-hour bone broth, rice noodles, fresh sliced beef, and all the veggie garnishes are perfectly safe.
- Pro-Tip for Celiacs: Just order the “Sliced Beef Only” option (commercial beef meatballs sometimes use trace amounts of wheat as a binder) and skip the Hoisin sauce!
- Note: While Alex and Tim hold a FoodSafe Level 1 certification and we maintain strict Interior Health safety standards, we cook in a shared community kitchen. Because of this, we cannot guarantee a 100% certified celiac-free environment.
Do you have any vegetarian options?
Not right at this moment! As a small, grassroots pop-up, we are currently laser-focused on perfecting our signature 12-hour beef bone broth. Because we operate in a shared community kitchen and want to ensure the highest quality for everything we serve, we are keeping our menu lean for now. However, we’d absolutely love to introduce vibrant, plant-based options as we grow. Make sure you’re on our Inner Circle email list so you’re the first to know when new menu items drop!
Are your ingredients safe and handled properly?
You bet. Our founders, Tim and his wife Alex, both work at KBRH, share a background in Food Technology, and both hold FoodSafe Level 1 certifications. We operate under strict Interior Health temporary permits, use commercial insulated dispensers, and maintain rigorous temperature logs. Whether it’s keeping our fresh herbs below 4°C or our broth piping hot above 85°C, your safety is our top priority.
