So..the food is great... But I went to the bathroom and when I was waiting in line for the bathroom I heard squeaking noises. At first I thought it was nothing then I looked under the table to the right of the kitchen door and there was a poison trap and a sticky pad that had a live mouse on it... Waiting to die of dehydration... I'm not a vegan and even I know this is the MOST inhumane way to deal with pests. I was very upset by this. Will probably not go there again because of this... It's unfortunate because the food is really good but what kind of place calls themselves vegan and treats animals like this? Sticky pads are extremely inhumane.
I’ve never tried Vietnamese food before, so I thought going there would be a great start, which indeed was. The server was really friendly and helped us with understanding the menu and our options. And food was a fair price and great quality.
I really love this place! The food is seriously delicious—the vegetarian pho is so flavorful and comforting, and the shrimp roll is super fresh and tasty. As a bonus (and as a proud crazy cat lady), I absolutely adore all the cute cat-themed decor. Great food and great vibes!
I cannot tell you how excited I am to have found Corner Cafe Vietnamese Pho Noodles & Rice Bowls! This is my new go-to place for a healthy, delicious and affordable lunch. We both had the same, BBQ Pork Banh Mi and the soup. I also had the most delicious Vietmanese Coffee I have ever had! The service is incrdible, the food delicious and fresh. Everything was so so good, anyone visiting RCH or working at RCH should make the 1 minute walk kitty corner and try this out. The staff were authentically friendly and inviting and so warm and welcoming. I could have stayed all day. I will be going out of my way to come back for meals and tell anybody I can to try this gem out!
Amazing food and service!
This is the worst Vietnamese food I’ve ever had. We ordered the house special soup, 4 spring rolls and 1 salad roll. The house special soup was underwhelming. The noodles were pre-cut (which we’ve never had or seen from a vietnamese restaurant before… unless we were cutting it ourself) and soggy. The broth was not enough, the beef was too thick and they didnt even provide mint leaves. The spring rolls was definitely not worth getting, it was small and overpriced. The salad roll, fell apart the moment you bite into it… this restaurant does not seem like an authentic vietnamese restaurant.. it lacks quality and quantity. For the price that they charge, they could at least up their food standards. I will never go back to this place again and I highly recommend you also do not come here for vietnamese (lack of) food.
I ordered a combo (pork patty and spring roll) vermicelli bowl for lunch on a Wednesday.
Pros: very nice server, very attentive, provides free hot tea
Cons: Vietnamese bowl did not seem authentic, price is high for quality of food, the pork patty and spring roll was small and dry while they gave lots of vermicelli.
All in all would not return for the Vietnamese food, have had better bang for buck elsewhere.
Forgot to catch their names but I mentioned I have a sore throat and the staff went above and beyond in serving hot tea with lemon honey which I didn't ask for but well-needed. You know how there's pho places where the broth taste like MSG-filled powdered soup, I love that you can actually taste the beef in their broth like homemade cooking. DEFINITELY returning!
The food is expensive and not authentic. It's also quite a smaller portion compare to the other pho restaurant. With the price tag, one would hope the food is half decent.
Been here twice to get Banh Mis and iced coffees, both of which were delicious. The staff are nice and attentive, would definitely recommend going here.

Pho and vermicelli here are amazing. Really authentic Pho in the Sapperton New Westminster area. If you live around Sapperton, this is a must try
Very nice and cozy place good food and friendly staff totally recommend
Ordered a takeout vermicelli and some spring rolls. It was delicious. The owner is so friendly and had a great hospitality manner, he saw that I was dousing my spring rolls in sauces and offered me to try his fish sauce in the mix. Recommend getting a takeout here if you’re in the area!!
Definitely will come back!!

Excellent pho and vermicelli bowls. Only a couple non vegan dishes. The hot and sour pho was amazing.
