We came here for lunch after reading the awesome reviews…read more Food: 5/5 - we both had the grilled pork & deep fried spring roll on top of vermicelli. The pork was flavorful & cooked to perfection without tasting dry. The servings are big as we saw other tables with large portions. They offer noodles, pho and other dishes. It's a no brainer to order the large portion for 50 cents more. Plus you'll have tasty leftovers! Service: 5/5 - the servers were efficient and on top of it as things moved along during the peak lunch hour. There was not an empty table at busy times. Those who were waiting in line were given a menu & then they'd take your order based on how long they think you would be waiting. Ambiance: 4/5 - the place was clean. There were tables seating 2 and a couple of tables for 8. I can't wait to return to try their pho. It was worth the drive from Burnaby to try their food.

Well considering that CHÉN's hasn't even been open for a year yet screams volumes as their always…read moreseems to be a line up inside or out the door. Going on a not busy day at a not busy time seems hard to find. Even going on a random Thursday right as they opened had the restaurant packed with very few tables available. That being said, the space is pretty nice if you go in a group of 4-6 people. If you have read any of the other reviews for CHÉN, then you'd know that they're serving Northern Vietnamese food. You'll see and eat things that are familiar and items that are just now getting popular with the new trend of not just pho. We ordered: Salted Coffee $7.75 Pho Tai, Nam , Bo Vien $16.95 - rare beef, well done brisket and beef balls Bun Cha - Nem $21.75 - Hanoi style Vermicelli Noodles with Grilled Pork & Crispy Crab Parcel The pho broth was clean and not too salty. The noodles are a bit thicker then other places but a warm bowl of hearty meat and noodles is hard to beat. The Bun Cha platter comes with a mix of lettuces and herbs. The grilled pork and pork meatballs are swimming in this warm sweet and tangy fish sauce like soup. If you generally like the fish sauce dip, (Nước chấm) you'll love this combination. The crispy crab parcel is surprisingly light and not greasy. The price for this platter is a bit more expensive then if you just got a bowl of vermicelli. But the presentation and fact that this isn't that common of a dish comes into play. Its also good to share. The salted coffee is strong and creamy! Not like they used instant coffee. Which some places I've been too have tasted like. The interior feels almost like walking into someone's house. The walls are beautifully painted with scenes from Vietnam's side streets. Tables are close together and sometimes you just have to share a long table with others if you want to get seated. Expect a little bit more of a wait time if you plan on going. I know many other reviews had mentioned that the service is slow. But there are somethings you just can't rush. Especially during a peak time.

Northern style Vietnamese style, different taste and lighter flavour, love that they make Chicken Pho selections. I had the house special, love when the bean sprouts is raw, gives the soup a better tastes.

I went on a Monday at lunch time and it was busy but some empty tables available. Great place to…read morebring your family because you can share dishes. The portions are huge and delicious. I have enough for 2 lunches. The food comes out hot and fresh. I have a peanut allergy and they no longer put peanuts on their vermicelli bowls. Their spring roll is crispy and have lots of filling. It has high ceilings and it is bright inside. The tables can be moved for different party sizes. You have to now pay for parking in their parking lot. The Viet Noodle Guy is my go to place.

We wanted to try the banh mi but they were all sold out. We ended up getting a large pho with one salad roll for two people and it was more than enough. There are the usual bean sprouts, basil and lime for the pho. The spot is good for a quick bite with friends. There's a decent amount of people but wasn't too crowded. Not too loud either, which was nice.

This was very good. It comes with a bowl of hot broth as well. My cousins said the grilled chicken and rice was good too! It is a cash or debt so FYI! One of the only spots I'd go for dry noodles located in Langley. The cause was just enough and the touch of lime juice is bomb.

So good and delicious I will definitely be back again soon. Yes for sure I love it and want againread more

Vietnamese place on the outside of Crystal Mall, facing Willingdon…read more Parking is available in the circular lot beneath the mall. The place is seriously dumpy looking. Guessing this place has been around since the mall first opened. Everything is pretty beaten up inside. Staff are friendly, but service is slow. I imagine this also implies that the food is made fresh. Looks like a true mom and pop place. The pho here is pretty solid. Looks like Northern style here. Nice juicy chunks of meat. Soup is medium in terms of heaviness. Bowls are a bit on the small side though. I also had the grilled pork Vietnamese sandwich (banh mi). Hit the spot. There is a spicy option. Looks like they also put some black pepper in there for some extra kick. Overall a pretty solid choice. The place got full on a weeknight, and it's easy to see why. Recommended.

I used to like this place in the past. Today's experience was totally different than before…read more I ordered Iced Coffee ($6.25) with #46 Lemongrass Chicken with Pork Patty ($17.99). I'd say food was fine not wholly amazing. I decided to go here last minute since I didn't want to wait extra time for the bus. Service is just a typical Asian service nothing more. Besides customer should decide on tipping instead of auto tipping onto bills. The signage claims they add 10% of tips on top of bills. I'm not sure when they started this. I'll go somewhere else next time.

Very clean and spacious dining area…read more Great spring rolls and chicken wings The vermicelli bowl with lemongrass chicken and spring roll was fantastic. Pho noodles a bit too starchy which takes away from the broth. Rare beef sliced really thin which is great. They use lemon and not lime and don't provide basil leaves but will if you ask. Solid choice in the area.

dropped by little minh's for lunch with a friend, and at 12:30 pm on a weekday there were still…read moreplenty of tables available. no waiting for a seat, no feeling rushed, just a relaxed dining room where it was easy to settle in and enjoy a leisurely lunch together. the space feels bright, clean, and welcoming, with bold red accent walls, warm wood finishes, modern pendant lighting, and an open kitchen that adds a bit of energy without making the room feel noisy. tables are comfortably spaced apart, making conversation easy, while the mix of regulars, office workers, and friends catching up gives the restaurant a comfortable neighbourhood feel. the service matched the atmosphere: friendly, efficient, and attentive without hovering. our drinks arrived quickly, followed not long after by our meals. to start, i ordered a vietnamese iced coffee. rich, bold, and sweetened with condensed milk, it delivered that familiar creamy kick that's always hard to resist and paired well with the fresh flavours of lunch. i decided on the sauté shrimp vermicelli bowl, featuring peeled (but not deveined) shrimp sautéed with garlic, fish sauce, and red chilies, served over vermicelli noodles with an assortment of fresh vegetables. the bowl arrived looking as fresh as it tasted, colourful ribbons of shredded lettuce, cucumber, pickled carrots and daikon, fragrant herbs, and a generous portion of shrimp over the noodles. the shrimp were tender and nicely seasoned, with the garlic and fish sauce adding plenty of savoury flavour, while the red chilies provided just enough warmth without overpowering the dish. once everything was tossed together, each bite offered a little bit of everything, crisp vegetables, tender shrimp, fresh herbs, and soft vermicelli noodles. it was colourful, healthy, and deeply satisfying while still feeling light enough for lunch. my friend ordered her usual, the grilled chicken salad, and after seeing it arrive, it wasn't hard to understand why she keeps coming back. generous slices of grilled chicken were layered over green and purple cabbage, cucumber, pickled carrots, daikon, fresh herbs, and finished with crispy fried shallots. it looked every bit as fresh and substantial as my bowl, with plenty of texture and colour. little minh's doesn't try to reinvent vietnamese food or chase trends. instead, it focuses on what matters: fresh ingredients, balanced flavours, generous portions, and friendly service. sometimes that's exactly what you're looking for, a comfortable neighbourhood restaurant where the food is consistently good, conversation comes easily, and you leave feeling satisfied rather than weighed down. we were thirsty afterwards though.

I liked my vegetarian vermicilli bowl and the garlic soy sauce complimented it well. However, the rolls like the spring roll and the salad roll were just okay. I have had better and the peanut sauce was average.
