    Cafe Den Nong, Banh Canh Cua, Pho Bo Vien, Cha Gio
    Sharon L.

    Finally found the time to go to this Vietnamese restaurant. The exterior of the restaurant might not be the most awe inspiring, but their food is surely worth the visit. The Banh Canh Cua (crab noodle soup) was my reason to visit and it did not disappoint. The udon was so chewy. The broth was amazingIt's so fresh and rich at the same time. They also have a lot of ingredients, including big chunks of real crab meat. The Pho Bo Vien (beef meat ball pho) might look simple, but it's also really good. Their Cafe Den Nong (Vietnamese coffee) has a very rich coffee flavor. You get the sweetness from the condensed milk but also the bitterness from the coffee. Everything we ordered had such a high quality and it felt very authentic. Highly recommend to this!

    Don't let looks decieve you, this little cafe on the Kingsway is a great place to go for authentic South Vietnamese food, and especially delicious soups. We tried the Bún mm and the Hú tiu bò kho, and loved both of them. The broths were both flavourful and chocked full of meat. The beef in my hú tiu made it super rich, almost like a Vietnamese stew which I had never had before. They've also got the classic ca phê sa đá (vietnamese iced coffee) for all your caffeine needs. Something about the brewing method and the condensed milk makes the coffee flavour so deep and satisfying. One thing is that it can be a little loud. There are often large groups that can be a little rowdy, but if anything it just adds to the authenticity. The best part of all is the value. Even though the food is delicious and comes in a massive portion, its not overpriced. Lunch for two including drinks and an appetizer came to around $30, and we had a ton left over for the next morning.

    HIDDEN GEM! Well it's true what they say. The best pho restaurants usually have a number in the…read morename. And I can say this is true across America and Canada. 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. Dine in or dining out, don't forget to ask for the chilli garlic oil and garlic vinegar on the side. These condiments will level up any dish!

    I stopped in around 5:30 p.m. on a Sunday, and nearly every table was full. Even with the crowd, I…read morewas seated right away. 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. .

    Absolutely delicious food; fast, friendly service, can't fault it! We discovered Pho Goodness at…read more1150 Davie Street yesterday and are we glad we did! Went in for lunch with my granddaughter, both of us fans of Vietnamese food. 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. Granddaughter declared it better than at our regular favourite, and Pho Goodness is around the corner from her home and not a bus ride out to Kingsway! Service was friendly and responsive. We asked that the volume be turned off on the massive TV over our heads (which nobody was watching) (it was), requested a glass for the pop and immediately received a tumbler full of ice. Lovely. We have found a new favourite on Davie Street, a true foodie heaven with a collection of independent restaurants of many ethnicities available. We will return to Pho Goodness when the urge for Vietnamese food strikes again.

    Great location, right on a central part of Davie, this is a pretty typical pho joint. They have a…read moresizeable vegetarian section of the menu, including a vegetarian (vegan) noodle soup with veggies and tofu. My wife and I stopped in for dinner one evening and each ordered the aforementioned noodle soup--she got a small ($11.75 plus tax) and I got a regular ($12.75 plus tax). We also got an order of salad rolls ($7.50 plus tax), which comes with 2 rolls. The rolls came quite late. They were pretty standard, coming with fried tofu, vermicelli, and lettuce. The peanut dipping sauce was on the liquidy, salty soy sauce side of things -- I wish it were creamier and less salty. 3/5 The soups were decent. The broth was peppery, with some nice, gentle spices detectable in there. I asked for a side of chili oil, which helped amplify the broth. You get a generous portion of noodles, fried tofu, and vegetables (broccoli, bok choy, carrot). Unfortunately the veggies were quite overcooked -- the broccoli was almost soggy, so were the carrots and bok choy. 3/5 All in all, middle-of-the-road veggie pho. The broth is pleasant. The veggies were overcooked, but plentiful and nicely chosen. Decent place for veggie pho.
