27 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Burnaby

“This is my family's go-to place for pho. Even whenever I have relatives or friends visit me from other countries, I always take them as part of a food experience to try this amazing pho, or their wings, or banh-mi. I think we've been going here quite regularly for the last 5 years or so, this place is a hidden gem!“

“It was my girlfriend and I’s second time coming in. We had the pleasure of being served by Lam. Super nice service. I had the B&D Special Pho with Marrows and my girlfriend had the grilled pork chop with rice. We also ordered the chili fish oil chicken wings to share. All 10/10 food!! Super filling. Definitely our go-to Viet restaurant.“

“Generous portion, amazing service, best combination of Vietnamese and Thai cuisine“

“Nam Vegan Express is a fantastic choice if you're looking for delicious vegetarian food. The staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, and generous, making every visit a pleasant experience. My favorite menu items are the fresh salad rolls, flavorful pho, and the V-BBQ chicken bites. Their tea is excellent as well and pairs perfectly with the meal. I highly recommend Nam Vegan Express for either lunch or dinner—you won't be disappointed.“

“Good foods, great service, highly recommended!“

“Love the food and service here. you can tell they want to wow you with their food“

“I really enjoy this Authentic Viet cafe. The food is always fresh and so tasty. Me and my partner enjoyed having the Tamarind chicken wings and the Grilled Chicken banh mi. The food was tasty and extremely affordable !
We also enjoyed some Vietnamese iced coffees.“

“This pho restaurant may look a bit aged, but it is clean, tidy, and well-maintained. The dining area is spacious, with comfortable seating that makes it a pleasant place to enjoy a relaxed meal.

We ordered a beef pho, grilled pork chop on rice, spring rolls, and an iced Vietnamese coffee. Every dish was served fresh, hot, and made to order, which really enhanced the overall experience.

The pho broth was rich and flavorful, with a deep, comforting taste that stood out. The grilled pork chop was well-marinated, juicy, and nicely charred, making it very satisfying. The spring rolls were crispy and freshly fried, adding a nice contrast in texture. The Vietnamese iced coffee was also well-prepared, strong, and smooth, rounding out the meal nicely.

Overall, this restaurant delivers solid and reliable Vietnamese comfort food in a comfortable setting. It may not be modern in appearance, but the quality of the food speaks for itself. Definitely a place we would drop by again.“

“A truly family owned and run hidden gem - Home cooked meals at a great place. They truly take pride in their meals. Lots of parking in the back and/or in front street parking - you will not be disappointed.“

“Server and food always good here. We will definitely be back to try more of their new dishes“

“They have a lunch special everyday. They also have another South Asian dishes beside Vietnamese.“

“Sorry no pics I ate it too fast lol
Get their ‘special’ menu items, it’s genuinely a big cut above standard phó/vermicelli. Had number 37, I’m gonna come back and get it every time (I’m that kind of person). The portion wasn’t big but the amount of meat was generous for the size and the flavour was excellent. Well balanced and spiced and will plenty of veggies to put in as well as garlic and thai chillies on the side. Not greasy, not too salty.
It’s chill in here, I like the decor and the staff are friendly. They give you a good sized pot of tea and in general aren’t going to check up much but that’s okay with me.“

“For me it’s just the right amount of food and priced ok.“

“I was met with a helpful server who guided me to trying out this dish. It was filling, there were a lot of ingredients added, including loads of vegetables, a decent amount of grilled chicken and some huge and unique-looking spring rolls. I enjoyed my visit here. Pho 24 express is worth a try.“

“A cafe which has nice chilled atmosphere along with great food, coffee and friendly service.“

“Very lovely staff. I’ve never been disappointed, the food is always excellent ☺️“

“This is by far the best pho restaurant in the city, the pho and the lemongrass rice bowl is 10/10. Not only that, the staff is soooo friendly! They went out of their way today and accommodated myself and my friend when we unknowingly came in very close to closing. We were wanting to leave, but they assured us they would serve us and did not rush us to eat when dining in, that was so special and appreciated! The restaurant is extremely clean, and the service is always quick and efficient and the staff are so accommodating and nice and welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who needs a new amazing pho restaurant in Burnaby.“

“How is this place not 4.5 stars? Been around for a long time. Their pho ALWAYS delivers! Great portions, fragrant soup, lots of tender beef, and relatively inexpensive. Better than a lot of the better“

“I love a decent hole in a wall place, but most Viet restaurants are like that. Matches the vibe back in Vietnam. The pho broth is rich and flavourful. Packed with spices. The mung portions were decent. The food is on the sweeter side and the fish sauce is a bit light. Vermicelli a bit loose. Other than that it was good. Spring roll is the traditional big type. It is extra for more bean sprouts on the side. The pho comes with some in the bowl. Overall I thought it was a decent place to fix a hungry stomach. The place is running on fans so it'll get hot during the Summer

It's cash only and note they auto put on 10% gratuity. (Cheapest tip percentage in town)“

“I’ve only had the pho here, I’m a small eater and doing low-carb, so I get it without noodles and they give me some nice fresh veggies instead. It’s perfectly seasoned every time. They advertise that they use local Canadian beef, and portions are super generous. First time I visited I told the owner it was so good and full of meat it was mooing!
It’s a comfy room with a relaxed homey vibe. Seems to be a family-run place. Service is quick and friendly. If you’re lucky the radio will be tuned to Vietnamese Jazz, which I really enjoyed.
Someday soon I am going to visit here with friends, there seems to be many special dishes on the menu. I’d like to try more but I’ve only been there on my own so far so can’t order much.“

“Honestly was really really good.
I had #91 Vermicelli with chicken and spring roll.
Always get the same thing from Vietnamese restaurants and this was the best I’ve had in a long time. Price very reasonable and big portion.“

“2nd time coming here and both times we were impressed by the portions and flavours. It did not disappoint but the noodles were a bit undercooked this time. We took the broth and noodles home to cook it the next day which works out. The staff were friendly and attentive even though it was quite busy.“

“Friendly greeting as soon as you arrive, quick service,fresh and tasty quality meal at reasonable price . Highly recommended !!!“

“Overall decent bahn mi, I got tofu and veg. The tofu couldnt have been any less seasoned. I'd imagine it came straight from the pack and sliced and put on. The rest of the sandwich was ok, veg was fresh and good so this saved the plain tofu.
Overall not the best not the worst“

“WHAAT!!! How can the sushi and the pho both be soo good!!“

“I was really pleasantly surprised. It was my first time trying this place out. I had a few banking errands to do and had some time to kill so I figured I'd have a early lunch.

The food is very tasty. The service is standard. There's plenty of parking. I would definitely come back again and try other items off the menu. It's nice to have a Vietnamese option at Market Crossing!“

“Came here because I like the Victoria Dr location. It's similar but sooooo much more salty. Also the fish cakes got smaller and less generous. Still tasty though. It's a small place so prepare to wait.

Update: came back a year later and asked for less salty. Was so thirsty after I had to chug water. Why so much sodium?????“
