    Anh and Chi is a Michelin guide Vietnamese eatery known for their beautifully presented authentic Vietnamese dishes. Inside, they have a gorgeous setup with a solid amount of seating. Reservations are highly recommended, so plan accordingly. Wifey and I stopped by for brunch with our friends and were seated right away. We tried the Banh Cuon, Banh Xeo, and Bun Cha Hanoi and everything was spot on. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Anh and Chi is Viet gang approved!

    Great service, romantic ambience, delicious food. On a busy street so patio seating is a little loud but restaurant had windows open so we had the best of both worlds while sitting inside.

    The crispiest spring rolls I've had - they were perfect. Still thinking about them. Banh mi was so good too

    Gỏi Cuốn - Fresh Saigon Roll with grilled chicken
    Michelle N.

    Anh and Chi was one of the highlights of our trip to Vancouver. After dining here, I completely understand why it's been featured in the Michelin Guide from 2022-2025. The restaurant was busy when we visited, so expect a bit of a wait, but it was well worth it. The interior had a lively atmosphere. We were seated at the bar, which ended up being a great spot since we got to watch the bartenders craft drinks and catch a glimpse of the kitchen. We started with the Gỏi Cuốn (Fresh Saigon Roll with Chicken). The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and you could tell the rolls were made to order. They were light, refreshing, and the perfect way to start the meal. For our mains, we ordered the Phở Hoàng (Beef Noodle Soup) and the Bún Thịt Nướng Chả Giò Tôm (Signature Vermicelli Bowl with Grilled Pork). Both dishes were amazing. The pho arrived steaming hot with a flavourful broth, tender, high-quality beef, and fresh herbs. The vermicelli bowl ended up being one of my favourites! The grilled pork had an amazing charred flavour, and the fish sauce tied everything together perfectly without overpowering the dish. Our servers were friendly, our food came out quickly despite how busy the restaurant was, and they had no problem accommodating our request to serve the cilantro, onions, and peanut sauce on the side. I would absolutely come back to explore more of the menu, and I can see why Anh and Chi continues to earn so much recognition. If you're visiting Vancouver, this is definitely a spot worth adding to your list!!

    It's been awhile since my last visit and tonight's dining is quite disappointing. We did not make reservation and we were asked to provide our name and phone number. The restaurant was quite empty at 5pm and not sure what's the purpose of getting this personal info. Our server is quite attentive however most of the other servers have a very stone face. The lady who cleaned up our table after meal looks very unfriendly. In terms of food, the crab soufflé noodles in tomato broth - noodles are quite soggy and we cannot identify any crab or crab taste in this dish. The grilled lemongrass platter - chicken is definitely overcooked as it's quite dry. Pork chop has half of them as fat and not eatable. Beef ribs are okay. Overall not a delightful dining experience. Given there are many Vietnamese restaurants in town, I found no reason to visit this restaurant again. Do not recommend.

    One of the best Vietnamese food ive had. The dishes were fresh and flavorful with large portions. I love the mini shrimp pancakes with the sauce. Delicious!!!

    Pho Hoar

    This is listed as one of the top plates in Vancouver in the Georgia Strait. They take no reservations and the place is big and stretches for half a block. They have a covered patio and an open patio that stretches half way down the street. Our waitress was OSHA and very knowledgeable with suggestions. This is a Vietnamese restaurant. We ordered drinks and the chili wings with fish sauce. The first time I've seen wings stacked on a plate. They were good and tasty. They were on the smaller side than others I have seen and eaten. I had the BO LUC LAC. Very tasty and lots of pieces which they call shaken beef flat iron. Well presented. There were 2 pho hocar, beef, withe lots of noodles. I tried some and found the noodles were a bit over cooked. It was very good. Last we ordered GOI CUON- chicken rolls. Presented very differently. Fresh greens with a special sauce came with my meal. All in all very good. I have had better Ramon elsewhere. However this is a very trendy restaurant, a little pricey but worth it. There were really small peppers with the Shaken beef. Beware they are very hot.

    This place is an upscale Michelin recommended Vietnamese restaurant. I didn't like their reservation option as you're forced to donate to a charity of their choice, instead of the money going towards your bill. The food was pretty solid, but pricey. If you're going for the ambiance and the elevated vibe, this is the place for you.

    These are what dreams are made of. The most elevated Vietnamese cuisine in the heart of Main Street. A true Vancouver treasure. They said it would be hard to get a table at lunch on a busy Saturday but we got in a few short minutes after arriving. Firstly, the menu has several alternatives available. You can order vegan, vegetarian or meat options. The choices are endless. Very pleasant ambiance and great service. The food is excellent!

    We came across this beautifully decorated and fun place in search of Vietnamese food while visiting Vancouver. The restaurant is really well organized and the staff is incredibly friendly. We were seated right away which is always nice. The waiter went over the menu and was very knowledgeable about every item on the menu. We ultimately decided to go with items from the house specials because why not? We got the Bun Bo Hue and Bo Ne. Both entree came out freshly prepared and very served in pretty good sized portions. The broth for the bun Bo hue was under seasoned for my preference so I adjusted with fish sauce and a little bit of lime. When paired with veggies, the soup definitely fills you up. The Bo Ne was sizzling as it came on a hot plate. Every bite was delicious when balanced with a little bit of everything that came on the plate. The price was a little steep for what we got but the experience with the staff, restaurant, and food was a good one.

    Steamed rice cakes
    Sabias L.

    Great value for the price point! I'd recommend getting the more unique dishes from the Bucket List menu. The Crispy prawn cakes and steamed rice cakes were fun to eat. Service is good too, we ordered a banh mi, and they cut it into 3 for us without asking.

    Even to go this vermicelli bowl is special!
    Tina H.

    The ambiance and food are amazing at Anh and Chi! We ordered and really enjoyed the delicious Vermicelli bowl and egg rolls, the meat was delicious, portions huge and the salad very fresh and full of incredible flavor and veggies. Unfortunately, after waiting to be seated for 15 minutes we discovered they only allow service dogs in their gorgeous patios that wrap around the restaurant and I had my mom and her dogs also with me, so we took our food to go but the bar where I ordered and got to see the restaurant from was gorgeous and most the staff was very helpful and nice. I'd definitely get food to go from here again soon!

    Bun Bo Hue
    Justie L.

    Let me start by saying this: I had one of the best bites of food in my entire life at a dinky Bun Bo Hue food stall in Ho Chi Minh City, and years later, I am still chasing that high. So perhaps unfairly, Anh and Chi (and every BBH-offering Vietnamese restaurant I've been to since that fateful day) had a very high bar to clear. That being said...it unfortunately did not clear that bar--BUT it was delicious. The broth was a touch sweeter than I was expecting, and neither lemongrassy nor spicy enough. The pork hock hardly had any meat on it, it wasn't the typical cut of beef you'd find in BBH, and there was no pork blood at all. It was served with sprouts and lettuce rather than the traditional banana flower. All of this being said, it was such a tasty bowl of noodle soup. I cannot stress enough how delicious it was, and how delighted I would've been had I not been expecting an authentic bowl of bun bo hue. I was still delighted! The cha lua was super tasty and the beef was tender. The noodles cooked to perfection. A yummy bite with every spoonful (but more on spoons later). My husband had the Bun Rieu Cua and also found it to be very yummy. The broth was really crabby and thick (in a good way), packing tons of flavor into each bite. He did expect there to be more actual crab meat in it, as there was just one tiny little crab claw (which, to be fair, he said tasted incredible). Overall though, he really liked it. We started with the soft shell crab salad, and honestly that was the dish that impressed me most here. The crab was crispy and delicious, and paired so well with the banana flower and pickled veg. I especially loved that it came with actual rau ram (Vietnamese mint) rather than standard English mint. It made the dish! The fish sauce dressing was potent and spot on. I would happily eat this dish every day for the rest of my life. I had the pandan tea and found it to be lacking in pandan flavor, it was more of just a standard green tea. My husband had the lime leaf soda and loved it. The service was quick and friendly, and we really enjoyed how lush and calm the patio was where we dined. Now here is my admittedly picky and specific complaint. The soup spoons. They were not ideal for a noodle soup; they were not big or deep enough with defined walls to keep in broth + noodles + toppings. It made eating difficult and honestly did detract from the experience. Again, I know this is a very specific thing to point out, but I feel very passionately about respecting soups and noodle soups with the tools needed to consume them so that you get a perfect bite every time. It felt very "style over substance" and like vibes/aesthetics were much more important than the actual eating experience. With that, I will get off of my soap box.

They either need to add some kind of sweet chutney to balance it off or really reduce the salt content in it. There was a good amount of lamb flavour from the dish though The carrots were okay. Could have been a bit softer. I felt like the dish was missing to tie the hummus and the carrots together. It felt like a puzzle with a missing piece.

    TIKI DAVE from TIKI DAVE'S TERRIFIC TRIPS absolutely loves this place!…read more After searching for the best Tiki Bar in Vancouver (what???), I absolutely had to leave the family at the airport hotel to check this place out. As Son of TIKI DAVE would say, I didn't need to go, but I wanted to go. Yes, yes, Alec, I wanted to go. And the reviews lived up to the hype. What a wonderful spot halfway between the airport and downtown. I left it up to the bartenders to choose my drinks... Against my better judgment, I went with the bartender's recommendation to try the Painkiller because they touted it better than the Soggy Dollar Bar in the BVI. Well, I've been to the BVI but never the Soggy Dollar Bar...yeah, I know. But this drink, that I would normally think too sweet for my taste, was amazing. Now, I have to go to the freakin' Soggy Dollar Bar to compare but I'd bet this one was better. For my second, I again, left it up to the knowledgeable bartender to guide me the way. And he served me up with this perfectly amazing and glowy amazingness that is the Rememberer? Which is off menu. It was amazing. And did I mention it glowed? Ambience and service is amazing. I showed up on a Saturday night at 10 and I was worried after reading about it that I'd have trouble getting in but it wasn't a problem at all.

The cocktails are generally on the sweeter side, but they're also surprisingly strong. We ordered the Zombie (3 oz), and there's a reason it's limited to two per guest. It tasted sweet and tropical, but it definitely sneaks up on you and can get you tipsy pretty quickly. The drink prices are quite reasonable, especially compared to the food. While the food is decent, I'd say the cocktails are the real highlight here. The atmosphere is fun, lively, and full of tropical vibes, come for the drinks and the atmosphere rather than the food.

    We had the best time at Odd Society, and I am still smiling two days later. Initially perplexed,…read moresince our Uber dropped us off one block away, we had no idea where we were in the dark of the Canadian night. Surrounded by warehouses, did the driver want us to experience a "call of the wild?" However, Odd Society beckoned one block from the corner, and two seats were available at the strange bar. Strange because our view was blocked by a kind of ersatz plastic and wood wagon wheel blocking our view of the servers and bar. It was reminiscent of Utah's Zion Curtain. Later, I was told it was part of Odd Society's Covid protection and helped the bartenders stack things up. Okay, fine, but tear the damn things down. They're obnoxious. Odd Society creates an array of liquors made from ingredients sourced locally by law. It's required by their license. I tried almost all of them, and most were fantastic. Abby and Colin, our servers, were charming, fun, and educational, answering my questions, which became increasingly inane as the alcohol took effect. The distillery also mixes fantastic cocktails, and mine, named Midori, was friggen unbelievable. I had two of them along with my liquor tasting. My Midori was made with a special concoction called Portuguese Sweet Milk, or something like that. It was amazing. I want one for breakfast. The fun kept coming, and I didn't want to leave.

In summary, the place was ok, but noticed after the fact that we were overcharged for the drinks. It's a small space - about 3 high tables, one lower one, each seating 4 to maybe at most 5 people, plus a bar. I reserved a table for the 2 of us at 3:30 pm on a Sunday (earliest reservation they had as they open at 3 pm) and we were seated at 3 pm. They checked our vaccine passports and then seated us. Not long after we were seated, the remaining tables were all taken just after opening for 30 minutes so I would recommend reserving if you prefer tables over bar seating. The waitress brought over a drinks menu and food menu. The menu showed cocktails at $13. We chose our drinks and ordered, then the waitress came by with a second menu that she said was for Sunday only. She apologized and said she normally doesn't work Sunday's so she didn't know this promotional menu was available. This menu had some cocktails on promotion that I would have not minded to try, but I had already received my cocktail. Oh well. I had the Violet and Claire, which looked great and tasted pretty good for the first half. However by the second half of the drink, it started to taste too sweet. It was not bad for a cocktail, overall. My friend said the Smoke Between the Sheets cocktail was alright as well. We got our bills quickly as we had a second place to visit afterwards. After paying, I snapped a picture of the bill at the time but did not notice until I got home that to my surprise, each cocktail was listed on the bill at $14.95. I recalled their physical menu saying $13, and verified this with their menu online. Unfortunately, I did not notice the discrepancy until I was home, otherwise I would have mentioned something. Note that our visit was at the end of November 2021, and at the time I'm writing this review (December 26, 2021), their online menu still has cocktail prices at $13. So, I am not sure if this was a one time mistake when we paid, or if they have just forgotten to update their menu? Either way, this was disappointing. Because of the entire experience I probably won't visit again, especially with all the other options Vancouver has for cocktails.

    We started with the Manos Signature Dip. The creamy, slightly spicy Tirokafteri served with warm…read moregrilled pita. Then came the Watermelon Salad. It was fresh and juicy Would've been even better if the watermelon came in bite-sized cubes instead of slices For mains, we had Roasted Lamb Shoulder which is very Tender and flavourful And the star of the table...Mousaka! Rich, comforting and beautifully layered

    I have seen a lot of good reviews about this place and convinced our party of 8 to come try it…read moresince it's in our neighborhood and we have been looking for a new local Greek restaurant since Panos on Marine Drive closed down. Sadly, we were sooooo disappointed! We came on a Saturday evening at peak time, around 6:30pm, so granted, we expected it to be busy. We were sat nearly right away in comfortable booths with tables. The waitress brought us menus and water. So far so good! We ordered our food, nothing crazy, several got the special of the night, lamb souvlaki with potatoes rice and pita. A couple ordered the seafood pasta, one asked for red sauce instead of cream sauce and two asked for veggie lasagna's but they only had one order available. When we asked about the beers on menu, we were told each one was unavailable except for Heineken and the seasonal beer. When we asked what it was, she didn't know. She then brought the can of beer over and said she wasn't sure what type it was. Fair enough! She was young, seemed new and not quite trained with alcohol so no big deal. It gave us a giggle. It was a Granville Island radler btw. I ordered a Heineken and my friend ordered the yummy sounding spicy passionfruit margarita. My beer came fairly quick but no margarita. Then the young waitress came out to say that our food would take a bit longer to come out since they were a bit slammed with orders and asked if we wanted any appetizers. We decided we'd be ok, and decided to wait. One hour later!!!!! I'm not joking, one hour later, the margarita drink came out. Again, we noticed very young and probably newly hired staff attempting to make drinks. When this $19 drink came out, it looked like the rim of salt was touched with fingers and a lot of it was missing. However, my friend desperate for a drink or morsel of anything, decided to just have it as it came. She said it was delicious and the best thing she had. One hour and a half later!!! Our food came out. My medium rare lamb was cooked through and the pasta with red sauce came out with a cream sauce, but there was NO way we were going to send anything back as we were pretty hangry at this point. The potatoes were delicious, the rice extremely plain. All 8 of us agreed that for the price, service and quality of food, we would not be returning, although my friend said if the passionfruit drink was on the happy hour menu, she would consider it. All in all, very disappointed.

    Published on Main - Vancouver, BC…read more We chose Published on Main for dinner because it's one of the participating restaurants where we could use our Amex Platinum dining credit. Since it's also a Michelin-starred restaurant, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to finally experience it. Our dinner lineup was: Aebleskiver Milk Bun Belgian Endive Dungeness Crab GBP Gnocchi BBQ Beef Striploin Most of the dishes are designed for sharing, with the exception of the Aebleskiver, which is served individually, so we ordered two. It's a round, savoury dough with herbs and pine nuts, topped with Kaluga caviar. The dough itself was delicious, but the caviar wasn't quite to my taste. I prefer caviar with that distinct salty, creamy and buttery flavour, while I found this particular Kaluga very mild and almost tasteless. Everything else, however, was fabulous. Dungeness Crab - My absolute favourite of the evening. Beautifully executed and packed with flavour. Belgian Endive - A very close second and probably one of the biggest surprises of the meal. Who knew endive could be this memorable? BBQ Beef Striploin - The Michelin-worthy dish for me. Beautifully prepared and a great way to finish our savoury courses. The Milk Bun and GBP Gnocchi were also excellent and rounded out the meal nicely. The atmosphere is polished but not overly formal--I'd describe it as business casual. Most guests were dressed accordingly; you could probably count on one hand the number who weren't. Despite the restaurant being busy, I didn't find it loud at all. We could comfortably chat and hear each other throughout dinner, which I really appreciated. Service was cordial, professional and knowledgeable. Each dish was presented with a clear description, adding to the overall dining experience without making it feel overly ceremonial. Overall, Published on Main lived up to its reputation. With the exception of the caviar not being to my personal taste, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. The Dungeness Crab alone is something I would happily return for. Definitely a restaurant I would recommend to friends and family--especially for a special occasion or if you're looking to put that Amex Platinum dining credit to very good use!

    We were a table of 5 and were told about 10 dishes would be a good amount of food for us…read more She said if she felt like we needed more or to double up on a dish she would let us know. The servers that brought us our food were great at explaining each dish. The burrata was smooth and creamy. The focaccia that came with it, was huge and had a nice flavor to it. The candied pine nuts and cherry toppings were a really nice addition to the dish. The beef tar tar was tasty and slightly acidic. We had the Elk served rare, and it was delicous, but I didn't liked the cubed pieces. The stuffed pappardelle was soo good. I liked the hint of lemon, as it really elevated the dish. The duck with beet sauce was so nice. The duck had a nice crispy skin. The beets were one of my favorites. They were slightly acidic and sweet. The summer beans were very smooth and not like previous bean dishes that I have tried. The milk buns with butter didn't have much flavor, but the bun itself was nice and fluffy. The Octopus' sauce was so good and the Octopus itself was tender. I found the Maitake a bit too salty for me, but otherwise it was enjoyable. The Lambchetta was our least favorite dish of the night. It was a touch salty and had a hint of hoisin to it. The strawberry mille flavors were good, but the puff was a bit dry. The strawberry gelato was my favorite dessert. The gellee was nice as well. Walk through the forest dessert sounded interesting, but didn't hit the spot. I didn't really enjoy the mushroom flavor. It reminded me of Chinese herbal medicine. The coffee flavor wasn't bad. Our server was great at advising when she didn't think one of the desserts would be good to share as a table. This restaurant would be great for a celebration or date night. 4.5 stars

    I came here for a private event and was pleased with the food, service, and ambiance provided by…read morethe restaurant! I didn't realize the restaurant did sushi platters and oysters - what a pleasant surprise! The oysters were delicious. For the sushi I've definitely had better, but was still impressed that the restaurant had this kind of platter available. Portions were really big and among the dishes, the miso cod was a big standout with great flavour and texture. I also enjoyed the matcha tiramisu dessert as it was not too sweet. The staff were very friendly and attentive to replenishing drinks. I believe some of the drinks were made specifically for the event so I'm not sure if any of the ones I had are on the regular menu. However, the drinks were delicious and the 'Ryujin' especially was my favourite one (the glass with dragonfruit garnished over top!) It was fruity, sweet, and deceivingly tasted like tropical juice. I would like to return to experience the restaurant on its own sometime. In the meantime, it's an excellent spot for private events!

    Caught up with a friend recently and we chose Parker Rooftop…read more The oysters were a definite improvement -- 95% shell-free, a huge step up from previous visits. We ordered earlier in the day, and the shucker was clearly alert, taking the extra steps to ensure a clean finish. Truffle fries were indulgent and perfectly crisp, though the garlic aioli was milder than I prefer -- almost like straight mayo without a punch. I skipped the sushi wrap, sticking to my traditionalist ways, but my friend enjoyed it. Brownie bites, complimentary as they were, were a disappointment. Lacking enough fat and possibly stored improperly, they tasted a bit stale -- a shame, because how does a brownie not taste good? Our server was attentive and charming, swooping in at just the right moments for round twos and top-offs, which made the experience that much smoother.
