Ordered the Bun Bo Hue and the nuoc chanh (not pictured). The Bun Bo Hue had a lot of meat inside, and the soup was not super spicy. The soup could have been a little hotter, but otherwise it was very tasty!

We had heard great things about this restaurant and decided to drop in for a bite. The bun bo hue dac biet and banh bot loc were delicious. All three of us ordered the bun bo hue. The toppings were generous. Soup was hot. Spiciness near perfect. The menu is small as the restaurant focuses on a few items. Next time we will order something different each. Definitely worth coming for the Bun Bo Hue!

Bun Bo hue used to be better, don’t know what’s changed but the last couple of visits the broth has been a bit bland and not hot enough. Why is the tapioca dumplings always sold out????

Pretty basic comfort viet food though. Got the che and the bbh and they were okay and nothing extra. Cash only place and okay price not expensive nor cheap. The banh bot loc was kind of different from other places though so definitely somethiny you can try at here. Cheers!

Great tasting broth in the bun bo hue. Good amount of toppings (brisket, pork blood, etc.)

I've been here once before to have their signature Bun Bo Hue but this time I wanted to try something else! Ended up getting the Pho Ga Dac Biet. Came with a lot of chicken!! And an additional quail egg and crispy onions--interesting but welcome additions!Both the Bun Bo Hue and the Pho Ga were too salty for me but the flavours really hit. I don't like that they don't have regular banh pho though--they only have flat rice noodles. Their Pho Ga isn't my favourite but definitely the best Bun Bo Hue I've ever had other than my mom's! hahaService was as you expect from a family-run Vietnamese business. Love that they serve hot tea for free! The space is small and homey, I really like it here.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! A hidden gem for delicious bun bo hue that will warm you right up! I've taken my Vietnamese extended family here, and everyone loved it and found it authentic in flavour. I often crave their bun bo hue in the colder months.Service is fast, and you can expect a lineup during busy lunch hours - especially on the weekend. But everything moves relatively quickly. This place is cash only.The broth is light, but packed with flavour. The lemongrass really comes through, and I enjoyed eating it with all the vegetables provided. Personally, I have to ask for less spice because I would not be able to handle their regular level. They have sate (spice) on the side if you want to add it at your own pace.I am salivating as I write this review now... I will always be back!!

I think it's all about the food here. They have unique spicy noodles. Cash only. Can get quite busy.

Hands down one of the best, if not the best, Bun Bo Hue in the whole Lower Mainland.Quality is consistent since day 1. Soup is flavourful , noodle is cooked just right and meat is tender. They does it right every single time.Love supporting small businesses and this family-run establishment never disappoints.

Hands down for one of the best Asian soul food on Vancouver, you know the restaurant is.solidnwhen there's only 8 items on the food menu and full house on a sat afternoon raining day.Seems like a family run business,The restaurant is a bit beat up, but relatively clean.The food was fantastic, the broth was clean and well seasoned. Not much MSG added (big plus)all the food is relatively fresh, does not taste frozen or canned. The crab / shrimp noodle is at the wow level good too! The meat in the banhmi is really tender,. vegetable are refreshing!Will definitely come back again and again haha

We ordered their 1) Bun Bo Hue 7/10 - good, but again not that much flavor.2) Banh Bot Loc (shrimp/pork dumplings) 8/10 - good! But I wish it has more flavor.Prices were okay for what we get. Their portions are decently big.
