“ Nice quaint restaurant. Bahn Mi "special" was nice. Not overly dressed or covered in sauce. Worked well with simple ingredients. Also giving 5 stars in general and for service because I was on a date and I think the server noticed that we were hitting it off and gave us a complimentary pot of tea and 2 lemonades. ”
“ Let’s keep supporting family-owned local businesses like this! First time eating here and the gentleman serving us in the restaurant was very kind and very generous - we got a free bowl of rice and delicious lemon water. We ordered the butter fried chicken and it was delicious. Great experience - deserves much more than the 3.6 stars for their hard work of keeping a restaurant open so late. ”
“ We tried pho special and spring roll, grilled pork with vermicelli, the broth of the pho is so rich and spice amount is just perfect! The vermicelli taste so great with the smoky pork and crispy spring roll in it. The owner even gave us complementary iced lime drinks, it was so refreshing. Best hospitality and food, definitely will come back again! ”
“ Went there for lunch today, wasn't too busy. Got the extra large house special pho and a grilled pork Bahn mi. Both were excellent and came out in good time, around 15 minutes. Our group also got complementary spring rolls - these were really good, not the frozen type. Will definitely come back! ”
“ My partner and I both got different kinds of pho and it was awesome. The broth was really flavourful and the meat and noodles were cooked wonderfully. The service was super fast and the man who helped us was very nice. I’ll definitely be stopping here next time I have to catch the 99 ”
“ This is a great restaurant with classical Vietnamese cuisine. It was our first time trying Vietnamese cuisine and we were not disappointed. There are a lot of advantages of this restaurant: diverse menu, delicious food, affordable prices, good location (next to the public transportation), works 24 hours and friendly staff. The food was freshly cooked and delicious but the most unusual thing that we liked was traditional Vietnamese coffee. The taste was really very unique and pure. We would just like to recommend 2 things: 1) To add some variety of desserts to the menu so that more people can enjoy eating traditional Vietnamese dessert with Vietnamese coffee. 2) To add more variety of salads and grilled or stir-fry vegetables. Overall, this restaurant is a great place to experience authentic Vietnamese food with your friends and family! ”
“ It was amazing, little awkward because we were the only ones there but the food was great. Such a nice owner and got free appetizers and drinks. Not that expensive and very flavourful food. 10/10 ”
“ Id reccomend everyone to stop by. Came to Vancouver for a vacation and this was the first place I stopped to get a bite. Really enjoyed the special pho and spring rolls here, it has a pleasant atmosphere and service was amazing. The gentleman gave us some lemonade on the house! ”
