    Hu tieu bo satay ($15.50)
    Jonny M.

    Been to Truong Thanh Vietnamese Restaurant for a couple of dinners. Friends frequented this place for late night eats. It's next to The Tipper and Mui Ngo Gai. The inside is no frills but there's plenty of tables. Seems they charge extra if you pay with debit. - Cha gio thit hay chay (#1) ($7.00 for 2) - not the ones made with rice paper. Filling was bland. - Pho dac biet (#18) ($14.50 large) - my buddy's go to bowl. - Hu tieu bo satay ($15.50) - broth was disappointing; not very peanuty, watered down. - Bun bo hue (#31) ($15.00) - no pork blood or hock. Beef flank and pork balls were good but broth lacked depth. - Bun cha ca & cha la lot doc mung (#33) ($16.50) - fried fish cakes had a chewy, springy bite. Pork betel leaf were tiny but tasty. - Bun cha ca rau can doc mung (#32) ($15.50) Cash or debit only. Average fare at TT.

    Pho satay
    Kate C.

    Combo A ($16) which comes with Pho Dac Biet (large size) and your choice of spring roll or salad roll. We got the spring roll. The soup wasn't as deep as other places but the size is really large. The spring roll was dense and full of filling. Pho sate ($14.5) - wasn't very peanutty. Tastes a lot better with lime in it. I think it just has one size which is large. Not a lot of meat but a lot of noodles. Meat is only raw beef slices which tastes very tender. When I got the bill, they said $33.60 which doesnt make sense so I think they calculated our orders wrong? It would have been nice to give the order receipt before paying.

    Vegetarian pho (vegan)
    Matt B.

    This rating is for the vegetarian pho, which was OK at best. I tried ordering a veggie pho (which is vegan; $12 plus tax) through their online ordering system, but the order was never accepted. So I phoned it in instead. The order was ready 10 minutes later. The soup came with lots of broccoli, some carrot, a bit of onion, deep fried tofu, and the usual thin vermicelli. The broth -- which is what makes or breaks these noodle soups -- was extremely bland, as though they just heated up some hot water, added a hint of salt, and that's it. I amped up the broth with their homemade chili oil, which helped, but this was still a very bland dish. Good price, good portion, but the broth was very underwhelming. There's no point going here for veggie pho with so many superior options in Vancouver. Not recommended.

    Don't know what to order? For The Win! FTW Rice Platter/Co'm $11.50: 46. Grilled Lemongrass Chicken, Pork Chop on Rice - excellent flavours, but portions are small for big appetites. FTW Beef Noodle Soup Large $10: 11. Well Done Beef Noodle Soup - tasty but I find the Large portion fairly small. Appetizers: 2 Vietnamese Spring Rolls with pork were okay, but I'll probably try another appetizer next time for $5.50. ThIs is a tasty option for a late night bite in East Vancouver, if you're looking for something other than fast food or Chinese. They're open late and there's ample street parking. An extra dab of rice or noodle in their mains would be a drop in the bucket and would make Trùòng Thành a solid 5/5 and a go-to-spot for sure!

    Combo: rare beef pho and shrimp salad roll
    Mari E.

    I found a combo menu on the window and thought it would be nice to try. But the menu in the restaurant had bit priced up. Don't trust window menu price. You will be comfused later. Slow service. Not only me, other table customers were ready to order but the server started to clean other three tables. Wth? I had combo: special beef pho with shrimp salad roll. I requested to put only regular rare beef. Pho was alright but less richness broth than Hoi Ann cafe's pho. The amount of side vegetables is also less. Sauce for salad roll was waterly. Taste was good over all but I had only negative impression for this restaurant.

    Spring rolls (1 half and 1 party eaten half ...)

    Ordered bun bo hue and spring roll combo. Spring roll was ok. Nothing too special. Taste was good. Bun bo hue had no pork in it ... Though, noodles and beef had a really good texture. Borderline 4*

    Beef satay sauce rice noodle soup~

    So it looks like this place has undergone some change of management. There are new staff working here (looks like a mom, dad, and daughter). The hours have changed as well (it now closes 0400 or 0600 instead of opening 24h). There are new menus, with nice carved (embossed?) wood covers. As for the food? It has changed for the better. Special mention goes to their chicken wings. I was just expecting the typical fluffy battered variety, but these ones are juicy, and their spice mix is like crack. My friends and I were blown away. This dish alone is worth a trip out, and would give Phnom Penh a run for their money if they had a similar lemon sauce. They feature a new beef satay sauce rice noodle soup dish. It's so special that it doesn't even have a number like all the other items on the menu. Satay anything is good, and this is no different. Admittedly it's mostly the same bun (Vietnamese vermicelli) as the other dishes, but it's satay. And did I mention it's satay? The curry chicken is surprisingly similar to HK style. I don't ever remember seeing any curry dishes when I was in Vietnam, but what do I know. Nice and flavourful, wiht plenty of green bits and crushed peanuts on top. The rice just was enough to soak up all that curry goodness when dumped in. The chicken was nice and tender. Upgrading this place to 5 stars. We have a new winner. Recommended.

    Roll Combo

    My hubby is a huge fan of Pho and we always have Pho when we want a simple quick lunch. We tried many Vietnamese restaurants in Vancouver, my hubby picked this one to try... But, I really suspect if the restaurant open for 24 hrs and how good it can be??? Well... I may be wrong this time and this is the exception!! The restaurant was simply decorated but looked ok. I found the floor and table was quite sticky but the staff was so friendly. We noticed the menu slightly different than other Pho places and it has a lot of varieties such as deep fried fish cakes and crab paste pho. Anyway, both of us ordered pho and roll combo: Bun Bo Hue (Pork Hock, Beef Flank in hot spicy soup) The soup flavour was different, the meat was good, the noodles was great, it tasted not like those you have in the normal beef noodle soup. (Very similar in LA Pho flavour) Pho Tai, Bo Vien (Rare beef and beef ball noodle soup) First thing I did was taste the broth while it is still the hottest. The broth was light and full of flavour. Cha Gio, Goi Cuon, Nem Cuon (spring roll, shrimp salad roll and minced pork roll) It was ok coz the salad and minced pork roll was premade and a bit too cold and dry. It's good to find another good pho place to go!

    Truong Thanh menu

    In keeping with our goal of trying out all our neighborhood pho restaurants, we found ourselves at Truong Thanh. I had never really noticed this place, but the neon lights outside caught my eye tonight, and when I saw the sign on the awning that said "beef special noodle soup + 1 spring roll $9.50", I was sold. The place was freezing inside, perhaps to make you appreciate your bowl of hot pho that much more? Unfortunately, the special promo listed on the awning has now gone up to $10.50. The lady said it's because the awning is from 5 years ago. Well, geez, slap a "10" over the "9" then. Anyway, we got our food fairly quickly. The spring rolls were a decent size - I'd say about 6 inches long, but nothing really special otherwise. As for the pho, they were a little cheap on the bean sprouts, and my husband and I felt like the serving size was just a little on the smaller side, even though it's advertised as a "large". We both left the restaurant feeling mildly satisfied, but not full. My husband actually started getting hungry again shortly after arriving home. The broth was good, flavorful without tasting oily or salty. I guess house special means something of everything - beef, beef balls and some tripe, but I wish they wouldn't be so stingy, as I only had 1 whole beef ball and a couple of pieces of tripe. My favorite part is that they use the fatty slices of beef here, which is truly the way to my heart when it comes to pho. I'd rank this a 3 star, but, like I said, the fatty beef won my heart, and earned them an extra star. Cash and debit only. Free wifi, some free street parking available if you're lucky enough to snag a spot, and they also have a couple of spots in the back.

    Fried Chicken Wings.
    Stan L.

    Easily one of the top 100 Pho places on Kingsway, Vancouver. But seriously, I've eaten Pho at 5 different places at the intersection of Kingsway and Victoria in the last 2 weeks. Just look at my check-in history if you don't believe me. The Rare Beef Pho and the Lemongrass Chicken with Pork on rice were pretty much the same as all the other places in recent memory. The rice dish lost marks for the fact that the Pork chop was 50% fat. The Garlic Fried Chicken, however, was great. But, it worked out to be $1 per piece which was difficult to accept for a guy raised on 25¢ Wednesday Wings. Very nice and kind waitress. She welcomed the guest with enthusiasm. It looked like many of the patrons were regulars too. You can do worse than here. But, you can also do better. Just walk next door for a slightly better pho dining experience.

    Always enjoyed this place because of their food and hours. Service has always been great every time I've been. I always order the rare beef pho and it's amazing. I just love it! The broth is not too heavy or too light. The beef is sliced thinly enough so that it cooks in the broth instantly, yet still being super tender. As for service, I've never had a problem. Staff is super friendly and nice! The price is very typically between $7-9 for a bowl of pho. I'd definitely recommend this place!!

    Deep fried tofu with their tangy sauce
    Andrew B.

    This place is known as one of the few places that serve good food(depending on what you order) and open till late. You can come here and for a full course meal or just a regular snack or even just a drink. From my experience, I would recommend their deep fried tofu and their dried noodle. I mostly just order these everytime i visit. Their deep fried tofu is served with this tangy-salty sauce, which I think is made up of mostly fish sauce and soy sauce. Dip your tofu with this and it's just amazing. Their dried noodle is one of a kind. They do not have a lot of options with dried noodle compared to their pho. But I think its better than their pho and their rice combos. It might even be the hidden gem of this place. 4 stars because i think they can do better at customer service

    Pho tai gan
    Marc D.

    * Disappointing pho house on several levels * I'm always suspicious of a place that toots its own horn. Their sign reading, "Best Vietnamese food in Vancouver" was a bit of an eyebrow raiser. The series of professional photos by a rather new Yelper was another. But there were many positive Yelp reviews from established reviewers so I figured I would give it a shot to see what I was missing. I ordered my typical test of pho tai gan (pho with rare beef and tendons) to see how it stacked up. The garnish plate arrived first and it was a positive sign with very fresh and generous amounts of basil, good looking sprouts, chili, and lime (is the lime shortage of 2011 over finally?!?!?!). Photo: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/syK9Ir_TMVQlDzhzUuV6Pw?select=rD4dnx8bbeCKPJ1gGHwmog But when my pho arrived it was a bit of a disappointment. About half of the "rare" beef was overcooked and clumped. There was one smaller piece that was still properly rare, but the bulk were rubbery chewy brown crumpled up ball of beef slices that had all melded together when cooked. Disappointing. The one small piece of truly rare beef was ok, but not the best cut. Overall the beef was quite disappointing. The tendons were decent, but there were only 2 very small pieces. The broth, which was highly touted, was also disappointing. It was excessively oily with big pools of grease floating on top. It was as if they hadn't taken the care to nurture the broth while building up flavours - it was a very one dimensional flavour. The noodles were also slightly overcooked as well to the point of almost being mushy. 2 stars overall for this bowl of pho - there are much better options available at the numerous pho houses in the area. Photo of pho tai gan: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/syK9Ir_TMVQlDzhzUuV6Pw?select=ttqu7b0F13KLGPU3wqAsBw and close-up of the ridiculous oil pools and overcooked "rare" beef: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/syK9Ir_TMVQlDzhzUuV6Pw?select=QlhJrOt9jNdB8RAHMSQiqQ Meh!

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.

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.

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.

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 have found a new favourite on Davie Street, a true foodie heaven with a collection of independent restaurants of many ethnicities available.
