Small portion for the price
I went twice to this airport and it's one of the only decent food option.
Drunken noodles are good. The speed of service was good. It's an airport restaurant.

Reasonably priced, fresh, and tasty for an airport restaurant. I asked which of the bowls could be made vegan - none are vegan as listed on the menu but they kindly whipped up a delicious rice/tofu/veg bowl for me.

Bánh Shop at YVR airport offers impressive meals like the breakfast rice bowl with Valentinos hot sauce, which adds a nice smokiness. The breakfast bowl has been highlighted as possibly the best food at an airport. The Chicken Pad Thai is fresh and tasty, reminiscent of Thailand. Their steak & egg bahn mi and chicken bahn mi are very good but slightly expensive, typical of non-chain airport spots. While some dishes have been noted as mediocre, the breakfast bowl stands out for being flavorful and plentiful. Customers should be aware that many sauces contain fish sauce, but there are options like peanut dipping sauce, sriracha, and soy sauce available on the side.
Recent reviews highlight the high quality of the banh mi, with one customer stating it was so good it "haunts" them and they think about it weekly, even years later. Vegetarian and vegan options are available for banh mi, with staff able to advise on how to make the sandwich vegan by omitting sauces. The fried rice bowl and drunken noodles are both tasty with big portions, enough to share, though they are a bit expensive at around $20 each, which is common in airport settings. One customer found tofu in the terminal but noted the sauce was non-vegan, making the bahn mi somewhat bland and dry, but still the best vegan option in the US terminal. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful in customizing orders. Overall, Bánh Shop is highly recommended for its flavorful food and good variety.
