27 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Burnaby

“This is quite far for me so I called a day ahead to check if it is open during a public holiday. It is so I proceeded to ask for a lunch reservation over the phone. When I got there, they couldn't find my reservation as it was mistakenly put down for midnight AM instead of PM😂

As far as the food, it's authentic and delicious. There's definitely some bot ngoc (msg) in it though.“

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

“Got a free spring roll for this review.

Honestly super good, spring roll was hot and fresh and crispy and had good flavor.

Got a braised pork belly thing I don't often see at Vietnamese places and it was also really good. Rice was done well“

“I am so glad that I stumbled across this place. The food is delicious and decently priced with good portion sizes, vibes are chill, and the staff is extremely kind and hospitable. Our server even drew a quick portrait of my partner and I haha. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Good foods, great service, highly recommended!“

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

“10/10 delicious soup! Came here because I had a lash appointment next door and saw they had my fave Bun Cha Ca. Have been back twice now because their broth is to die for. I found it heavy on the noodles first time around and would prefer more broth instead. Asked for half the noodles the second time and it was perfect. The meats and fillings are all delicious, broth is delectable and service is great! The main evening server is super friendly and seems like he loves his job. Don’t expect much in Viet restaurants but that was a nice addition. If you love specialty seafood soups, which are hard to come by, this is the spot! I’m sure everything else on the menu is great too.“

“One of my regular spots for pho. The owner is always friendly, and the food is consistently good.

Just a heads-up, the pho comes with bean sprouts already in it, and there's only one size available.

The real highlight here, though, is the wings. Try both the Spicy and Tamarind flavours. You won't regret it.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“One of the consistently good Vietnamese restaurants. It’s delicious but you also get your value here due to the large portions. I remember coming here when they first opened, and even coming back here recently..they are still great!

The service is also always good too.“

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

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

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

“Came here on a rainy Sunday so we were the only dine in people there. Most folks were picking up orders. No wait to get our orders which was niiice!

Got a veggie sub (tofu) and beer salad roll. Counter person was very friendly and professional.

Like that there’s free parking on side streets and pay parking right in front. I think on weekdays usually busier for parking and orders.“

“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“

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

“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 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.“

“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“

“The restaurant was very busy, and the service was generally good. However, there was one waitress who always had a sour face and a bad attitude. We encountered her two or three times. We didn't want to give her a tip, but we didn't know how tips were distributed, and it would be unfair to the other waitresses if we didn't.“

“I’ve been coming here on and off for the past 7 years and have always loved the pho. The restaurant recently changed hands, and it’s nice to see the new owners giving the place a fresh look while keeping the pho that keeps me coming back.

Really happy to see the place doing well, and I’ll definitely keep coming back.“

“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.“

“This is my family's favorite Pho restaurant. The portions are huge with lots of ingredients. The soup is flavorful and the noodles and rice are awesome. They also have a decent selection of drinks, so if you got kids, they will enjoy the drinks too. Servers are super friendly with kids and they are so quick with orders and getting chili oil, sprouts, and whatever else you might need. Love this place!“

“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?????“
