7 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Nanaimo

“The food was good overall. I’d rate it a 7.5, and my wife gave it an 8. The spicy pho soup I had was a bit too sour for my taste—something like a sate spicy soup would have been a better fit for me—but the spring rolls were fantastic. My wife had the vermicelli and really enjoyed it.“

“I went to Truong Thanh Restaurant in Nanaimo with my husband and we had such a great experience! The restaurant is really clean, and the food is absolutely delicious. We’re big pho lovers and have tried lots of different places—but this one truly stands out. The broth is rich, smooth, and so flavorful 🍜. The service was excellent too—everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Prices are very reasonable as well. We’ll definitely be coming back and would totally recommend this place to anyone looking for great pho!“

“Enjoyed wonton soup really delicious“

“Sealand Pho offers an amazing Vietnamese dining experience with breathtaking Marina views. The staff was friendly, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. A must-visit for authentic pho enthusiasts and the perfect spot to enjoy delicious food with a stunning view. Highly recommended!“

“Dropped in during my island trip and wanted Vietnamese comfort food. I ordered Bún thịt nướng and a small appetizer—both were fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. Prices are similar to (or a touch higher than) the mainland, which feels typical for the island, but the quality and portion size made it worthwhile. Service was quick, and the staff were polite and attentive throughout my visit. I’ll happily come back on my next trip. Vacation calories well spent.“

“Everything was spot on , Pho fabulous .Fair prices , quick Service. Will be back.“

“I had the salad rolls and a vermicelli dish that was so delicious I didn't even take photos.
Thank you so much for what you guys do.
Mall food gets overlooked often, but know that you are a gem of a location, and I'll be back many times.“
