Portions were nice, especially on the beef curry. Owner was very warm, personal, and friendly. Highly recommended!

I came here for a weeknight dinner. Been by this place many times, finally decided to try…read more Guy running the front was nice, good service. He might be the owner. Place was really not busy. One table eating already at around 730pm, and us. Otherwise there were a few takeout orders. My main problem with this place is the lack of authenticity. They clearly geared the food for the local tastes, which is a far, far cry from what I would expect in an authentic Malaysian restaurant. And even further away from the real food you get in Malaysia. I can see how if you're a local in North Vancouver and Malaysian food is exotic to you, then sure, this place is very approachable. Because it is better described as "Malaysian-inspired." We tried several items: Satay chicken - tasted pan fried and otherwise tasteless. Usually these are char-grilled. Chicken was juicy though. Peanut sauce was just ok. Sauce was kind of watered down. 3/5 is generous. If youve had authentic satay, you'll know what I mean. Char Kway Teow - not bad. Seasoning was too sweet, and needed more "wok-hei." Noodle texture was good. 3.5/5. Sambal eggplant/green beans/okra - the sambal was really, really lacking the funkiness of the fermented shrimp paste I expected. Needs WAY more. Also needed way more heat. This just tastes like a bit of sweet stir fried veg. 2/5. Assam Laksa - this was the biggest disappointment. There should not be coconut milk in this dish, but they put some in. This completely overpowers the Tamarind and all you taste is coconut milk. A bigger sin is the lack of any fish. Traditionally this is made with Mackerel, and sardines are often substituted. But there was no fish in it. This should be a sour, tart, funky fishy broth. It was none of the above. The noodles had a horrible texture too. Sorry, this dish is a 1/5. And this is not Assam Laksa. The shrimp they used in all the dishes is the cheap frozen stuff, probably frozen white shrimp. Pretty tasteless. We asked for everything (except the satay) to be extra spicy. Nothing was really spicy. There was a mild kick in maybe the assam laksa (except totally muted by the coconut milk) but the rest was not spicy. at all. And this goes back to my comment about catering to the local tastes. People around here I guess cannot eat even remotely spicy food. If you want authentic Malaysian food, steer clear of this place. You will be very, very disappointed. There are many better places in the lower mainland. If you want some tasty food that is somewhat reminiscent of Malaysian food, this is not bad, and on the North Shore, this is one of very few options available to you. Guy running the place is super nice though, and I get it, he's just trying to cater to the local palate to keep the business afloat. The restaurant itself is really dimly lit but clean and comfortable enough. I'll give this place a 4/5 for service, but 2/5 for food. Overall 3/5. Location is right on Lonsdale near 14th, and you can find street parking or park in one of the nearby lots. Sorry, I wont be back, and I cannot recommend this.

Our first and last time here…read more Bare environment. Rough service. Below average food. I think I've gone to a fast food joint with more flare than this place. We wanted to sit at a two seater and were told to sit at a four seater. No room for negotiation lol. I ordered the beef stir fry and was served the seafood stir fry, and was told it was my mistake. It wasn't. I'm too anal to make mistakes like that. Listening to them yell about it in the kitchen in Vietnamese made it even more awkward. Moving on...... Even the beef stir fry was a let down (see pic.) The Beef Pho was so underwhelming and amateur it was comedic almost. Stellar Pho speaks languages to you, grabs your hand and takes you on an aromatic, exotic, thrilling and invigorating ride, with the last sip slapping you back into your chair glad to pay the bill. This Pho was hot water, cheap beef, some noodles and a couple of basil leaves with Hoisin sauce doing all the work. Yet, still failing.

The owner was absolutely horrific. Since we only ordered one bowl of vegetable soup, he only offered two glasses of water instead of three. When we asked him why he only gave us two glasses of water he said that we only ordered one bowl of vegetable soup, which is why he would only give us two glasses of water. The owner was incredibly rude, disrespectful, and unkind. He was extremely inhospitable and disrespectful. When I asked him why he only brought two glasses of water he abruptly turned on his heels and walked away. This was the worst experience I've had in Vancouver to date. It's such a awful way to remember Vancouver by. I typically love coming to Vancouver to enjoy the food and try new little eateries. Also, I think that the store has poor sanitary standards. I highly recommend the store get checked by the local authorities to make sure it is clean and running to appropriate food service standards.

Cafeteria style beef stir fry.

Very very basic Pho. Nothing much to it.

Bit of a cluttered feel though. Staff are friendly. No complaints. I had the pho dac biet (house special pho). To be honest it was pretty run of the mill and mediocre. Beef balls, some brisket and tendon chunks, and beef slices. The beef slices are frozen onto sheets and arranged in a pretty flower pattern. Not sure if this is a good thing, as I imagine this means the beef isn't freshly sliced. Broth was also nothing special. Honestly nothing really stuck out here. It's an option for sure, but there are better ones in the surrounding area.

My friends had the Shrimp Salad Roll, Salt & Pepper Calamari, Lemongrass Beef & Spring Roll with Vermicelli and Lemongrass Chicken & Pork grilled. They all enjoyed but the grilled lemongrass chicken & pork was the best in taste, value and portion size. Interior is clean and updated.

The soup came out in about 10 minutes, with plenty of veggies (loads of broccoli, cauliflower, carrot), deep fried tofu, and medium-width rice noodles. The broth was quite tangy and sour, with some sweetness, and light lemongrass; but it wasn't particularly complex or well-balanced. Decent overall. Friendly service. When I went to pay, they had automatically selected 15% tip -- which I would've given them, but I don't like that they had done that for me. All in all, mediocre pho with decent veggie options.
