As usual, I'm late to the party. I've heard about Phnom Penh…read moreand its famous chicken wings ever since I moved to Vancouver, nine-ish years ago. My fellow Yelpers raved about this place when I first moved here, and my kid came here with her school pals 5-6 years ago and also raved about the wings. It's been on my list to come here forever - and last night, finally, I did. It did not disappoint. My kid warned me, there'll probably be a line up waiting to get in (they don't take reservations here. I checked), so we decided to go at an off-time and get an early dinner, around 5pm on Friday. We walked there and, miracle of miracle, there was no line and we got seated right away. (Granted, we got the last vacant table in the place, and when we left after our meal, there already was a line of people waiting to get in). Food-wise...wow. I am NOT one for adventurous eating, so there were dishes on the menu I couldn't comfortably order (I wish I could, but hey, I'm better now than I used to be!). Still, there was lots for me to choose from. And first and foremost, I HAD to try the famous chicken wings. And I can honestly say, they were the best I've ever had: SO SO crunchy and crispy on the outside, and hot and moist on the inside. OMG so so so good. I can't speak highly enough of these! My kid ordered the butter beef. It was tasty and soft ("like butta!"), and the marinade was lovely, but personally, I couldn't get over the...rawness and redness of the meat and juice (which looked like blood to me). For fellow non-adventurous eaters out there, this might not be for you, despite how flavorful it tasted. It was just hard for me to get over how it looked. (I know I'm in a minority here. This dish is one of their most popular and asked-for dishes). We had the garlic dry spare ribs. I love spareribs. These were delicious but a tad too salty and greasy. I brought most of them home and had them today for lunch. I gotta say, they were so much better for me today: less salty, and I blotted off the excess grease. Delicious! My kid ordered a "small" sweet and sour soup with prawns, and wow, it came in a huge black cauldren. I can't imagine ordering a large size. Anyhow, this soup was a stand-out soup - especially for my kid who said she had dreams about it all night (lol)! So complex in flavors - spicy, sweet, savory, chock full of prawns and sprouts and lotus shoots and pineapple chunks and and other delicious stuff.... For me, it was a wee tad too spicy, but wow, even I thought, this is a special soup. So delicious and warming. 10/10. Our servers were prompt and impressively able to efficiently tend to a full house of diners. They got it all down to a science here. One issue of note: my kid had to use the washroom at one point and she left for a very extended period of time. I actually thought at one point that something had happened to her or she was ill, she was gone so long (VERY unlike her). When she returned, she told me it was "quite a hike", around the back of the restaurant and up a flight of stairs, too. I only make note of this in case anyone has mobility issues, know that the bathroom will be difficult (or impossible) for you to access.

~ Great Viet Food For Vancouver ~…read more Coming from SoCal, I would say try the butter beef! I've never had anything like that at an asian restaurant back at home. It was so flavorful and the beef was so soft! The rest of the food was good don't get me wrong, BUT it lacked extra flavor that SoCal food provides. There is always a wait here but their waitlist goes by fast. The service is nice.

Definitely one of the best Vietnamese food we've had in a while - We couldnt think of anything that would have made it better!.

I havent got the chance to come here since the Yelp elite event but ive been thinking about it constantly! We got the seafood noodle soups, seafood and pork noodle soup (rice and egg noodle mix), squid and taro with fish sauce appetizer and we also got some desserts which were the flan, the coconut jelly and vietnamese yogurt. Everything was incredible, the portions were so filling with lots of actual seafood and not just fish cakes. The broth was just perfect in every way and the desserts were so tasty and appy was so umami and crunchy. Service was fast and friendly and for the price of the food, you get alot. Overall I will be returning and supporting this establishment!

We found Mui Ngo Gai on Yelp, and it definitely lived up to the reviews. The food was spot on--everything was well-balanced and flavorful.

Highly recommend this place if you're in Vancouver!

Mum Ngo Gai is on Kingsway by Victoria and there is plenty of free street parking in and around the area. Ordered the lunch special and the server advised that their weekday lunch promotions are only on until the end of May...good to know. This was my first experience drinking the grass jelly drink...it was light and refreshing. The spring roll was as expected...nice presentation and taste. And the bowl of pho was very large with sliced beef and beef balls. I liked the broth but was not a fan of the noodles...too thick for me. The service was great and it was a positive food experience.

Been visiting this restaurant with a friend twice already. Pho Khanh has variety to choose from…read morerice, noodle, vegetarian, appies and drinks. Even if someone is not good in English, the menu is written in Chinese and Korean next to English descriptions. Depending on your appetite their noodles come in small, large and x-large sizes. My friend ordered 6 Beef Brisket noodle (small $15.95) while I ordered 64 Grilled Chicken and Spring Roll with Vermicelli ($18.95). The size was just about right for Pho. Mine was big. It had plentiful of veggies with freshly cooked spring rolls and meat. Noodles weren't too mushy. I somehow felt fish sauce was too little for my food. Later I called the server to request for more fish sauce. He started talking to me in Korean even though I didn't have communication issue in English. Anyways service was great. Food was fantastic. I'd warn ventilation system wasn't great so you might pick up food odour on your clothes. I felt cold sitting in the restaurant as the door was swung open for that reason. They get busy during lunch hours.
