    Banh Hoi Cha Gio Thit Nuong Chao Tom - Rice Sheet Platter
    Judy J.

    I've been here a number of times and I think food is always a hit or miss. Consistency seems to be an issue. The place itself is just your normal Vietnamese restaurant. Nothing stands out; good or bad. You can find a mix of people here of various ages. Service is fine but if busy takes some time to get anybody's attention. I find the chicken wings here to be quite good. Phos are fine when they give you enough protein. Other times seems like they scrimp on the proteins. Latest time I came, I tried their Steamed Rice Sheet Platter. By the name I assumed this would come with rice sheets to wrap the proteins but seems this wasn't the case. Instead, it's just noodle (dry). That said the spring roll was good and the skewers were good. Albeit the spring roll was a tad on the oily side. Pricing wise I find there are better Viet restaurants in the lower mainland that cover the quality/consistency a lot better.

    Good Vietnamese food but pricey for what we ordered. My friend and I came for dinner around 7:30 on Tuesday and it wasn't too crowded. We snagged one of the empty tables and ordered an appetizer and entrée to share, as neither of us were super hungry. The menu is three pages and has a good variety of dishes, ranging from appetizers to noodle soups to vermicelli plates to rice plates and other dinner specialities. We shared the a half order of #14, the garlic butter chicken wings, for $11.95, as well as #40, the sugarcane wrapped shrimp cake, for $19.95. The chicken wings were good but I couldn't taste any garlic. It was also super bland, so we had to dip it in the tray of salt provided for flavor. The shrimp cake was really good, but we were both disappointed by the small portion. One order only comes with 2 sugarcane wrapped shrimp cakes, which seemed very little for the $20 price tag on the dish. Next time I come, I think I'll go for the pho or some other noodle soup. All noodle soups are $16.95 for what looks like a large bowl.

    Excellent selection of items on their menu and new dishes that you might not see elsewhere Dry mixed noodles - we didn't like this dish too much because the sauce wasn't mixed in very well and the noodles stuck together which didn't help. I wish they mixed the sauce in better so the noodles were more evenly coated so each bite was as flavourful as the last. The shrimp was fried nicely and the wonton wrapper around it kept crispy. DIY pho - While they have preset choices for their pho, there is also an option for you to choose your own meats. We went with that and got it with tendon, beef balls and rare beef. The beef wasn't all beef slices and some pieces were very sinewy which we weren't a fan of. The broth was good though and made up for it as well as the fact that they put lots of toppings inside! Rice vermicelli bowl - There was a good amount of toppings in the bowl. The spring rolls were crispy and went great with the dish. The grilled meat it came with was flavourful.

    Another new one for us, and a very good one. Haven't seen Bahn Xeo very much. It's a very interesting dish. Butter chicken wings were terrific. Do yourself a favour and give the above a try also. However, I did find it incredibly annoying that I was asked for ID before being served a beer. And he was serious. Both of us are in our 70's. Seriously? Do not believe the posts by the so called " Elite" members. Anthony Bourdain rightfully called them the bane of reviewers. So full of themselves.

    Slowly trying to work my way through all the Vietnamese spots. The solid ratings made me want to try Hai Phong Vietnamese Restaurant. It's located in a small plaza that houses Domino's and a few other businesses. We dropped in on a Thursday evening (around 7:15pm) and it was a third full. The inside is large with a TV in the back (NFL game was up). Service is friendly they never came back to refill our teas nor to check up on us. Menu is huge with beverages, appetizers, pho, specialty noodle soups, vermicelli, steam vermicelli sheets, rice dishes, dinner, vegetarian and hot pot. Trip #1 - Bun rieu (#26) ($8.95 small) - shredded crab meat, pork feet, pork blood, Vietnamese ham and tofu puffs with vermicelli in shrimp paste soup. Served with bean sprouts, banana blossom and shredded morning glory. Broth had good depth and flavour. Crab meat was plentiful along with a nice variety of meats. I'd get a large next time. - Canh chua (#72) ($15.95 small) - fresh pineapple, bean sprouts, tomato, okra, fried garlic, herbs and taro stem in a tamarind broth. This is pricey but if you want something different, this is it. The broth was hot, sweet and sour; really a unique flavour. Oddly, it doesn't come with any rice or noodles (think you have to pay extra) which is lame. We opted for the fish and FYI, it comes with bones. I've seen cheaper elsewhere. Trip #2 - Bun bo hue dac biet (#33) ($10.95) - beef, pork, pork feet, pork blood, pork balls and Vietnamese ham with thick vermicelli noodles. The broth was okay but the salt was overpowering. All the meat was tender and delicious. - Bun rieu (#32) ($10.95) - Pho dac biet (#19) ($9.95) - house special mixed beef with rice noodles. - Create your own soup (#26) - Ol went with regular broth and added beef balls, beef brisket and tripe. Nice that they have this option! - Bun bi cha gio ga nuong (#44) ($10.95) - grilled lemongrass chicken, spring rolls and shredded pork on vermicelli. A had to ask for three fish sauces to satisfy his craving. Would I come back? It's decent but wasn't blown away by either trip.

    We were walking around the area stumbled upon Haiphong and decided to give it a try. We got the lemon grass chicken and the pho. The broth in the pho was also very flavorful and enjoyable. Serving size was generous. The chicken even came with some soup. Pricing may be slightly higher than other Vietnamese place, but not by much. Overall, nice flavours and decent serving size.

    Chicken wings
    Ron P.

    Came here for lunch and ordered the Bun Bu Hue and chicken wings. I've been here before COVID and the consistency is still there. The noodle soup was flavorful, noodles were perfect, good amount of meat, pork blood, pork hock etc..yummy. the soup itself was spicy and what I really liked was the soup was HOT! The chicken wings were really good, crispy, plump, seasoned...it had lots of garlic, green peppers. Came with a dipping sauce made with lime and black pepper (ala Phnom Penh). I would definitely order the wings again. Safety...tables were spread out, online menus, masks were worn. Great place to go to amidst all the Vietnamese options on Kingsway and surrounding area.

    I was here with my friend Cindy last Tuesday (September 11th) and it was alright. Cindy had #45 Grilled Pork Patty, Spring roll and Pork skewer on Vermicelli ($10.95) and I had #33 BBH ($10.95) our food came in a big portion. Cindy had a hard time finishing her food. My food was okay it was a bit bland. I think it needed more chilli oil and lemongrass in my soup. Some meat toppings (especially pork) wasn't tender. It tasted rather rubbery, yuck. Pork hams and meat balls tasted good though. This location tends to give more meat toppings than the China Town one. I would like to give 4 stars if I could, but the soup was just not flavorful enough. I didn't feel thirsty in the end though. Service was friendly, but the server was too busy she forgot about my iced coffee. She apologized about the mistake, and I was happy to get my drink in the end.

    Nice food but pricy at first I never thought of coming here until my family brought us here and it's great but the pho is pricy

    I forgot the name of this food. But I can recall the taste of coconuts!

    Very yummy! My friend took me to this restaurant and it was absolutely amazing! The beef noodles I ordered was full of flavor and ingredients Lol A bit hard for me to finish! Yet it's very satisfying! The picture was another dish ordered by my friend. That's also tasty!

    If you have no chip... well they ain't taking your plastic.

    Anytime 'pho' is mentioned, this has always been a place that has come to mind. Everytime I have been here, ever since the first time I stepped foot 3 years ago... it has been consistent and judging from the business lately (with the expansion of the 2nd location) they must be doing pretty good. This time it was after a good workout and a friend was hungry and wanting (craving) for some of this soupy noodle. Sunday afternoon, and this place is packed.... you can almost see the sweat on the servers running around here... it was this busy... ok... so it's a place for many as a go-to option. We were eventually seated, as some people left, and they frantically cleaned up the spot... leaving the table a little wet from the wiping cloth. We were presented the menus.. and I decided on a small rare beef and beef shoulder small bowl of pho. I quote my dear "when they say "small", they really mean "small"... I should have re-read her review... this place definitely can compete for smallet bowl.. what is this a normal half serving? Good thing I'm not a big eater or I would have major problems with this. So the 'small' bowl comes out... piping hot.... clean broth... a pretty good taste.. not too sweet, a good proportion of meat to carbs. I can't really say anything special about this dish.. it satisfied the hunger, especially a small one like mine... the taste was consistenent, nothing else much to say.. except it was weighing heavy on me. I did feel the after-effects of the sodium... (or was it MSG???) which put me in a food coma for a little while. Even with the above being said, I would still come back... I may have come on a day where things were a little off. It's definitely not the cheapest place for a bowl of noodles, after looking at the price again.. a small is almost the price of a large at others... but overall it's been a pretty good place. If you are coming by car, there is parking in the small plaza, just read the signs of where not to park, also Kingsway has a ton of free parking.... so unless it's really prime-time busy... you won't need to be walking too far from your vehicle to get in here.

They also have a bar area. Kind of an Asian French fusion menu. Food dishes were good and creative, but it didn't really appeal to me. I appreciated the good service and chill atmosphere, but not sure if I would come back. I would say that their house made spicy was really good. A mix of sweet, sour, and spicy. Had a brightness to it yet also very, very spicy. Tastes great on many of the dishes, especially if you wanted a nice "kick" to the food. I believe you can order a jar to take home if you wish.

The space is much nicer, with high ceilings and lots of light - great looking bistro. I ended up trying the following: - Mussels: Very good. Classic dish, but I really like the use of cream in the broth. - Bánh Mì Cay Hải Phòng (Spicy Baguette Sticks): Good. A nice little snack, although it would be easy to recreate at home. - Lamb Chops: Very good. Cooked just right, and the pepper sauce added extra flavour. - Fried Frog Legs: Very good. This was probably the surprise dish for me. They weren't just the legs, but the entire bottom of the frog, so the pieces were huge. The garlic, butter and chili flakes gave it a extra punch. I really enjoyed this one. - Pho Bo: Good. Not the best pho I've had, but it's good enough to stand on it's own. Service was quite good. Very cheerful and quite attentive. Overall a nice meal. It's a great space, the food is solid, and service to match. What I really like is having the variety of both French and Vietnamese dishes, without either of them suffering in quality. Only downside is that is it expensive for what you get.

Cali girl here *wave* I tried a bunch of different places but couldn't really say any was a favorite. I finally asked my nail tech what her favorite place was and she recommended Pho 37 and she was not wrong. Then I remembered that my nail tech will never leave me astray. I only had to try their pho once to know, THIS IS IT. Then I had to get their Bun Bo Hue, just tomake sure. The triple crown will be their Banh Mi, which I'm excited to try next but so far 5 stars all the way. Best Pho broth and the best Bun Bo Hue that I've found so far in the downtown Vancouver area. I'm sure as you fan outside of the city limits that there are just as good options but I've finally found my go to spot close to work and home after 3 months of living here. A plus plus is the huge portions but I also have to commend the meat to noodle ratio is just perfect. This is a cute little spot on Robson. Don't sleep on this one, ladies and gents.

The only small issue was that it took a little while before someone came to take my order, and I eventually had to wave someone over. It wasn't a big deal, though, especially considering how busy they were. The portions here are huge, especially for the price. The broth was a little sweeter than I personally prefer, but it was very clean, clear, and flavorful. This is what I look for in a good bowl of pho. The noodles were cooked perfectly and had a nice soft texture. I ordered a combination bowl. My only suggestion would be a bit more of tripe and tendon. The tripe was a little sparse, and I honestly didn't realize I had tendon until I was almost finished with the bowl. But I like those, and not a lot of people do. Despite the restaurant being packed, the staff was stayed attentive, kept food coming out quickly, and did a great job taking care of everyone. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming. There was a nice mix of people. Some quietly watching videos on their phones, others catching up over conversation. It felt like the kind of neighborhood spot that attracts everyone. Overall, this is a convenient, affordable place with good pho and generous portions. If I'm in the area again, I'd definitely come back. .

Ordered Green Papaya Salad ($12), Lemongrass Chicken on Vermicelli with one spring roll ($17), one lime soda ($6.50) and one pop ($3). Food arrived within minutes of ordering. Portions were very generous. The salad was perfect with everything very fresh, as it should be but often isn't in some places. Plump prawns and the scent and taste of basil was prominent. Delicious! The lemongrass chicken (we ordered extra chicken) with a spring roll was also very generous. We did not finish it between the two of us. Again, all was fresh, tasty and hot. This is one of our standard orders and Pho Goodness did not disappoint.
