Checked out 26 Viet Cafe for a weekday dinner. They have two other locations (White Rock and Pasadena). They're known for their $1 happy hour wings. - Herbs - bean sprouts, basil and lime. Tiny portion - Bo tai chanh ($22.00) - beef carpaccio was decent - Canh ga ($1.00 HH) - mediocre garlic butter wings. Leagues behind Phnom Penh's crack wings - Sate hu tieu bo ($19.00) - satay broth was okay but lacked depth, tasted watered down - Pho ga ($12.95 small senior special) - light broth - Hai nam ga com ($15.00 senior special) - bland chicken rice, tasteless ginger scallion sauce. Hainanese chicken slices were bad - Ca chien ($25.00) - pan fried fish was dry, slightly overcooked. Didn't get any lemongrass notes. Was a sweet Chinese style sauce Nothing unique about this Viet spot. 2.5 stars. read more

The portions were massive. Their entrees were literally large enough for 2 meals. The garlic wagyu beef carpaccio was soo good and reminded me of Phnom Penh's butter beef. However, I was disappointed in the portion size, especially because of the price, and since everything else was so big. The pork in the vermicelli dish had the most flavor out of all the dishes. I really liked the house special combo, because it came with pork, chicken, and spring roll on a bed of vermicelli. I wish they had a location closer to me as I would definitely want to come here again. 4.5 stars read more

The food is very good and comforting! I especially loved their chicken wings. They are $1 each during happy hour with a minimum order of 8. They are super crispy, not dry, seasoned well and has lots of garlic. It pairs very well with the lemon dipping sauce that comes on the side. I would definitely come back for their chicken wings. The I got a small P4 - rare beef and meatball pho. It was good! It comes with pre-cooked bean sprouts so if you want them raw, you should request for that. The employees are very nice and the restaurant is very spacious. read more

Store front itself is nice, clean and spacious. Decently quiet for a good conversation with some comfort food on a Monday evening. The $1 wings for happy hour is for the win. Minimum order of 8 so we had 4 each. Wings were super crispy - well done! - but not quite as flavourful as pheom phen. I think their seasoning is close but they can be way more generous with the seasoning. It mostly tasted like super delicious crispy wings but not pheom phen wings, lacking in the sweet and savoury flavour. Otherwise lots of garlic seasoning and the dipping lemon sauce was decent. The p1 special pho was also phenomenal. I enjoyed the usual topping - beef ball, beef slice, tendon, tripe - but the rib was to the next level. Cook to perfect doneness, fall off the bone without losing the bite and texture of the beef. It also has a distinct flavour like lamb - yum! 10/10 would come back again. I'd like to try their dessert and drinks next time as well!! read more

Came here for the $1 wings. It was fried well. The downside was that although there's lots of garlic, you don't really taste the garlic. Would be good if they threw in butter garlic and green onion at the end to infuse the flavor. The lemon pepper sauce was extremely little. It's a very shallow dish and meant for a couple of wings. We ordered 15 and it was the same small dish. The bun rieu was nice. Very tomatoey and has a slightly sweet tone. I like it more than bun cha now that they are so salty. read more

We went to this place for lunch on New Years eve afternoon. It's a traditional small Vietnamese cafe with minimum decors. On that day, we ordered the Beef Curry Noodle Soup and Hainanese Chicken Rice. The curry noodle soup was tasted great, however, the meat beef meat was a little tough on that day. The rice dish was great in taste with a beautiful presentation. Service weas good with minimum attention. I would recommend this place for a quick lunch! read more

We had seen a video on instagram about how the chicken wings from this place were so good so we had to try! They have a happy hour special starting at 2:30pm for $1 per wing. They also have $1 off beers and house wine, $6. We ordered two dozen wings, some spring rolls and some chicken skewers. The server had a hard time understanding our English, and his English was very limited. We had a friend with us who is gluten free and we were asking if there were gluten free spring rolls (made with rice wraps) or if the chicken wings were dipped in cornstarch instead of flour. After speaking with the chef we found out that they both have gluten. We suggested the alternatives, hopefully they will consider it! The wings were excellent, nice and crunchy on the outside and moist inside. The topping was fabulous, we just wish it was freshly chopped garlic rather than the jarred garlic. They give a lemon and black pepper dipping sauce. We were really happy and will be back for their special. The place itself seemed a bit dirty and old. When we went to pay, we could see in the back and it didn't look great. It was very empty. Hopefully it will be able to make a few updates and get some more customers in so it stays open! The wings are worth it! read more

Love this place! Came here for dinner at 700pm on a Saturday. Saw only a few tables seated. We were greeted and seated right away. Despite it looking empty at initial glance, the restaurant is huge with tables stretching into the far back. The decor and furnishing is simple and unassuming. Food: We ordered the special pho, salad roll, beef stew pho and a lemongrass pork banh mi. Mom had cravings for the chicken wings so we waited until 8pm for happy hour prices ($1/wing). Pros: - soup for the pho came out piping hot. I love this and makes the food so much more satisfying - beef stew pho is so flavorful and balanced with big chucks of tender beef. Please try it. - chicken wings came out piping hot and really good size - banh mi was tasty. The bread is light and not too chewy with plenty of protein filling - service was friendly and attentive, they even offered to change plates and chopsticks at some point - seating is very spread out between tables so it feels more private and comfortable read more

Seems like the place changed hands again. Super good and "quick" service. The Chinese female owner was quite friendly. Decent price hence decent viet place. The current viet coffee of $3 is a good deal hence the additional star ( 4 star review). Would prefer it a little stronger though personally. And even though I asked for less sweet, it was still a tad too sweet for me. Pho was decent with added shiracha and their spicy sauce. Otherwise broth was a tad lacking for my personal preference. read more

Very good value. Their chicken wings are to die for with that dipping sauce. Vietnamese coffee was a HIT. Service was outstanding. Very friendly and courteous. The only thing will be that the lemon grass chicken and pork chop were a bit on the thin side. read more

I ordered the chicken noodle soup with cooked chicken and they gave me purple raw rabbit meat which was disgusting and I couldn't eat any of it read more

After seeing a TikTok, I decided to try @26 Viet for myself. There's underground parking located behind the restaurant, accessible from the alley. Just take the elevator up to street level -- the entrance is right beside the elevator. The vibe is casual, and we were warmly greeted by a very pleasant server upon arrival. We ordered: 1. Lemongrass chicken on rice 2. Crunchy deep-fried whitefish 3. Crunchy deep-fried chicken wings 4. @ #1 beef noodle soup Our food arrived quickly. The lemongrass chicken came out first -- it was flavorful and enjoyable. Next was the beef noodle soup, which I found to be just okay. Then came the whitefish. The server winked and mouthed "this is very good" as she placed it down. It looked great, but to me, it lacked flavor. Lastly, the chicken wings arrived. Visually, they reminded me of Phnom Pehn's chicken wings, but again, they were missing depth and seasoning. I really wanted to love this place, but to be honest, the food didn't quite hit the mark for me. That said, the service was excellent -- super friendly and attentive. read more

Under new ownership this is a really nice restaurant run by a very nice Chinese lady. I ordered the wagyu beef pho which was delicious. She often came by to ask how everything was. The broth was delicious and the meat tender. Yum yum! read more

The restaurant was spacious and clean. The staff were friendly, super helpful and patient with us ordering and accommodating my allergies. A waitress talked with the chef in the back, and she reassured me that the chef would use new oil for the snack platter so there's no cross contamination with any fish which it was greatly appreciated! I would recommend to try this spot! And I look forward to returning to try other menu items in the future. read more

Tried a new Pho place today and it was great. Our server was attentive and the food was fresh and the broth for the Pho was amazing. The tables are a little close for us, but they were clean and no issues with this restaurant. The price is reasonable and unlike a few of the other Pho places we have eaten at in South Surrey/White Rock area. read more

First time checking out this restaurant. Very good food and great service. April my server was especially welcoming. Would definitely recommend! read more

I was in Kerrisdale and had no idea what to eat today. I went to this place before the new owner took over. The previous experience was no good, the waiting time was long. However, I was wondering how the new restaurant runs so I went to try again. Surprisedly, they changed the decoration and everything is much brighter. I ordered their special pho, had a beer too. I would say the experience is way much better than previous. Food came fast, service was great, the server responded quickly. I also like the flavor of the soup, tasty but can tell no much MSG, plus I can have some alcohol at the same time, everything makes perfect. They gave 15% off on the whole bill for the grand opening. I will definitely come back often. read more
