Follow @jfoodreviews Solid food Vietnamese food in kerrisdale neighborhood. Street parking infront is paid. I ended up getting the -bun Bo hue (beef and pork noodle soup) -chicken wings -hot coffee with condensed milk. Solid food and they also had interesting starter combinations on the menu to try different appies. Interior doesn't look that great. But the food is amazing. Will come back for their pho
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.
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!!
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.
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!
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
Tucked away in kerrisdale is this Vietnamese cuisine restaurant that serves both authentic and unique dishes and we have to share with you what we got. * P1 @26 special beef noodle soup ($21) ~ the beef soup was rich and flavourful the broth was super comforting and the meat was super tender and yummy. 8.5/10. * Viet garlic beef carpaccio ($22) ~ BOMB! A must try here one of the best I've had it was so garlicky and yummy. It was the perfect amount of everything. Paired so well with the appetizer platter we got. 10/10. * (NEW) Sizzling beef fillet cubes ($25) ~ AMAZING this dish was insanely good. Super well seasoned and the beef was ultra tender. I loved how delicious it was. 10/10. * (NEW) Crispy Vietnamese pancake ($21) ~ it was good and light with a nice amount of filling. It's more bean sprouts so if you are a bean sprout lover this is for you! It also had a bit of shrimps and filling as well. 7/10. * @26 snack platter ($32) ~ I really enjoyed this because you get to try a bit of everything. Highly recommend it if you have a party you wanna share with or if you wanna try a bit of all. The portion was also super generous! 7.5/10. * Viet crispy soft shell crab ($29) ~ this was super delicious as well a must get! It was crispy and super soft at the same time. Well seasoned and super meaty crabs. 9/10. * Ice salted cream coffee ($6) ~ sweet Viet iced coffee topped with a layer of salted cream, it was really delicious and the salt paired well with the iced coffee. 9.5/10. * Coconut cloud matcha ($7) ~ this really surprised me because matcha and coconut is a fantastic pairing I never knew I needed in my life. It was so good and rich in matcha and coconut flavours. 10/10. * Overall one of my new fav places to go eat! Highly recommend checking them out. *
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!
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.
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
If you're craving Viet food and in the area, this is a great place to go! Food was delicious and I would go back. -Special beef noodle soup: comes with a full beef rib!! Meat was tender -Beef Satay noodle soup: super flavourful -Snack platter: 3 layer appetizer tray! Great to try a variety -Sizzling beef cubes : comes sizzling hot with juicy meat - Chicken wings : so crispy and garlicky! 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
