Our server Lam was fantastic. He was polite, friendly and knowledgeable. During our dining he made a point of coming over to check on us see if we needed anything else. Great food and service. We definitely will be back. read more

I'd seen B&D Authentic Viet Cuisine on my feed for a while and recently got to try it out ‍ We shared a house special beef pho and the spring rolls which came with lettuce (~$26 for entree and appetizer). The pho noodles were more on the flat thicker side compared to other pho places but the broth was quite light and savoury. The spring rolls were pretty bite size and standard I'd say! A solid spot with pretty fast service late at night, I liked the decor lighting. read more

I've been seeing this place on instagram for awhile now so we decided to meet up at this place with some friends. We ordered the prawns with salted egg yolks. But the prawns were overcooked the salted egg yolks taste was barely there. And there were only 6 pieces of the shrimp. We also ordered the special crab soup. This dish was just ok for me. The soup was not as flavorful as what I was expecting. Finally we also ordered the Banh Hoi Platter. This was not bad it was filling for 2 people to share. This place was a miss for me the food is not worth going back for. read more

I came here on a Saturday night and it was totally packed! Unfortunately we did not have a reservation so the wait was around 45 min. We did the $39 bite of Burnaby deal which actually was great value for the items we got. The beef carpaccio is probably one of the best I've had in the lower mainland. The soft shell crab soup was really tasty too. We also had to try the coconut rice cakes (not part of the deal). The prawns in it were super juicy and went perfect with the crunchy rice shells. Overall the food was great and I would come back for sure. I think the one thing that will definitely be bringing me back is the avocado icecream. Nothing beats their avocado icecream, you could tell they used real avocado and it had a peanut topping that was delicious. read more

I mean what else can you ask for - food portions are not only generous, they're also good quality. Might have to be our new go-to Vietnamese spot in Vancouver. Service is great, the team pays close attention to each table even though they were super busy! Place is clean and you don't feel like you're being crammed into a small hole in the wall. read more

I am impressed with the food here. I ordered the grilled pork vermicelli. The grilled pork vermicelli came with three spring rolls, three pork skewers and greens on vermicelli. I asked for extra fish sauce. The dish was solid and delicious. I did find the green somewhat spicy. There was something in it that made it spicy but it was not all the green that was spicy. It was probably a chili flake here or there. We were a large group (16 people) and the restaurant asked up to have our order ready. I was quite impress on how fast the food came based on how big of a group we were and on top, the food came almost at the same time. Our server had all our orders correct and when the food came out she knew exactly who ordered. There are free parking behind the restaurant. There were about 5 spots or so behind. Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis, with additional parking available on the side street. If you park on Kingsway, its not free. I definitely will be back. The food was solid and delicious. read more

B&D Authentic Viet Cuisine - Beef stew - Vietnamese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

A unique Vietnamese restaurant serving less commonly seen dishes. Always game to try something different, we gave this a shot. Definitely an enjoyable and interesting experience. The beef carpaccio had good texture and flavours. The dressing is more on a sweeter side. While I prefer a bit more tangy taste, it is still pleasant. The fried frog legs are quite a special dish. Fried nicely and the dipping sauce is spicy and salivating. They do not taste like chicken at all. I wish they season the protein more because it can be a bit "gamey". Presentation wise, splitting the legs into halves will make it look more pleasing to the eye. Crab soup noodles is hot and wholesome. I love the chewy thick translucent noodles to go with these seafood broths. However, the fried soft shelled crab is better off, not piled on top as it becomes soggy too quickly, making it not an enjoyable experience. All in all, there are a few very good options and a few things to improve on to elevate this restaurant. read more

Wow, I can see why this place gets so busy at dinner time! The food, service and presentation here is amazing. Portions are generous, and everything is flavourful and the broths are long slow made. Very cute restaurant with lots of plants and cute decor. I've been once a week since discovering this place in my neighbourhood, working my way around the menu! I will say, FABULOUS vegan and vegetarian options! delicious tofu dishes and pho chay. read more

We were looking forward to try B&D Authentic Cuisine as we were taking into consideration all the great reviews unfortunately our experience was not satisfactory. We've ordered their Special Pho which was average at most and lacked depth. Their Sai Gon Sweet and Sour Soup on the other hand was very salty and overly sour. Service was slow and taking into consideration how busy they usually are they should definitely hire more staff. read more

B&D Authentic Viet Cuisine - Sai Gon Sweet and Sour Soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Mmm delicious Vietnamese food right on the borders of metro town & the high gate neighborhood! I've heard loads about b&d's crab soup with tapioca noodles and this was the exact dish I came for! Surprisingly stumbled in on the last few days of the bites of burnaby event and lucky for me - the crab noodle soup was on the menu. For $38 you get a full sized appetizer dish, small cost up for the carpaccio but I was happy enough with the deep fried frog legs. An entree of choice - crab soup of course! A dessert and a drink. I loved the sweet flavours of the crab soup, it was thick with nice punches of a garlic-y undertone, complemented with a very slurp worthy portion of tapioca clear noodles. I personally would come back for this noodle dish alone! Both the deep fried frog logs and carpaccio was delicious. I was feeling quite adventurous as I've never had frog legs before - it's a nice and dense meat type, tender and tastes like chicken! The flavours were more on the mellow side which resulted to us checking in with the server to confirm if the sauce was a dip that was missing haha! Overall great meal fully of delicious surprises, fantastic service from the boss himself. Staff is a bit slow in turning tables on a busy night but the boss pulled through! Would recommend a visit when in the area :) read more

Came here for Bite of Burnaby (3 course menu at a fixed price). B&D also include a free drink as well! For $38 dollars, it's a bang for your buck. The food portions were really big and delicious. I loved the appetizers but the table mains were a bit of a miss (flavour wise). Besides that, I highly recommend trying this place out while the event is happening. Service was friendly even though our corner table felt a little neglected. My food came a bit later than everyone else's but they made sure to double check it was on the way. During our stay, I did not feel rushed or pressured to eat quickly. It was a great place to sit and catch up. The ambiance of the restaurant is cute. I love the bright walls and soft atmosphere. Would definitely come again when in the area! read more

Came here on a week night at 7pm and got seated immediately. We ordered the Bun Bo Hue, Special Pho, and skewers. We waited for 10-15 mins and still didn't got our food. We were surprised as typically pho just come out very quickly. We finally got our food and the skewers betel leave beef was very good. On to the lemongrass pork sausage, it looks really good...but it was raw inside. We told the server and he gave us another betel beef skewer and a sliced pork skewer. At that point I was pretty grossed out and worried about getting sick since it was raw ground pork. But to be fair their special pho was good and the BBH was okay. Their BBH is on the spicier side which is not my preference, although the flavor is decent. It was unfortunate, and the server did what he could to save our experience but, serving raw pork is pretty bad. I won't be back unless there are no other options. read more

Crab Tapioca Noodle Soup Grilled Lemongrass Beef Wrapped In Betel Leaf Braised Duck Noodle Soup Chicken Wings Vietnamese Iced Coffee Decided to randomly check this restaurant out before stepping out of town for a few weeks and it was not a disappointment. If you love crab then you'll love this crab tapioca noodle soup. I was blown away at how delicious and satisfying that hearty bowl was. There was a generous amount of crab meat in the soup and the soft shell crab on top was a nice touch. Never had it at the other places in my pho, so it's definitely something i appreciate. It's a nice added texture to the pho. The noodles had a good texture, wasn't soggy or too chewy. If you're wondering ... the soup is not spicy! And it doesn't taste salty either. This place takes all payments to my knowledge. There is street paid parking. The service is great and staff knew a lot about their menu and was able to answer the random questions my family had. Customizations were very accommodating! English is great too! Ambiance was a good noise level. Super clean inside and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I'm definitely returning to try other things on their menu. read more

Meter parking up front - easy to locate - pretty spacious and comfortable environment. Service team was very friendly and was able to answer most of your questions. I found the menu small, however i assumed they probably specialized themselves with what was offered. Had the traditional ice coffee which I would say was the best part - coffee was strong / condensed milk ratio was just enough so sweeten it up without taking away from the essence of the coffee! Spring rolls seemed more like egg rolls and the meat was skewered for the vermicelli bowl - I think they could of went the extra step of removing the stick - since i believe most people mix up the bowl before indulging? But that's not a deal breaker - I felt the price was for it being "authentic Vietnamese" food - however I think the portions was on the lacking side of things / as the price is about the same, if not more then other Vietnamese spots along Kingsway. read more

Had a great business lunch here at the recommendation of my sister who lives (somewhat) in the area. Great value and ambience for the price - for when you want delicious, authentic food created with care and pride! A colleague and I shared a papaya salad; I had the betel beef vermicelli and they had the lemongrass chicken on rice. Also added a Vietnamese coffee on ice. I was very pleased with the size of the dishes and I could eat that papaya salad for days! My betel beef vermicelli was juicy and flavourful, with pickled onions and mustard greens adding interest and tang; I made sure to eat allll of this as I do not know of another place for garnishes like this, and my foodie soul was beyond content! The restaurant was still busy, filled with a variety of patrons from Korean galpals to tables of leisurely retirees, to duos and trios of family / relatives. Despite the odd hour that we visited (3pm? I need to work on my eating habits!) some tables remained after our meal. I thanked my sister for the recommendation, and chatted a bit with the waitress about other unique offerings (for dinner - a coconut turmeric seafood crepe, definitely coming with fam next!) read more

Review for our visit in December 2023. I took notes and am just getting around to posting now. RESERVATIONS On Boxing Day, we made 6:30pm reservations for 8 people with about an hour's notice. This was the only place that could accommodate an early dinner for us after calling several restaurants in Burnaby. It wasn't too busy but by the time we left around 8pm there was a small wait. THE COST About $150 for 6 entrees and a couple appetizers. THE SERVICE Very attentive and helpful. We asked if we could order a side of plain noodles for our toddlers, and they made the B&D Special Pho without any meat, for a reduced price ($11 instead of $16), and kept letting us know they can always give us more noodles if needed. FAMILY-FRIENDLY? Yes, very family friendly. They immediately brought out silicone bowls, cups, straws, and toddler flatware for the kids. I just wish they had a kid's menu, but the accommodation they made with their regular pho was helpful. THE FOOD * Braised Duck Noodles ($23) - 3.5 stars Lovely and unique, but I found the broth to be too sweet. * Lobster Tomato Soup ($30) - 4 stars My partner got this and I was jealous, I enjoyed it a lot more! I have a sentimental fondness for tomato broths in Chinese cooking. read more

This spot, originally was my friend's pitch for lunch. I was hesitant, because I wasn't particularly feeling like pho, but boy was I a happy camper afterwards. Its location wasn't the best for parking, as it doesn't have its own, but street parking will be your best friend. As soon as we entered, a warm smile on a server pointed us to a seat near the window. After browsing the menu, the descriptions of the menu items were the first to take root in my interest. I went with the B&D Special pho, which had a choice of regular or fatty broth. You could also choose to add a stick of bone marrow, but I chose without. I was met with a very confident taste in savory beef, decorated with pepper all around. The veges were bright, crunchy, and fresh, and the beef was tender, giving off a satisfying aroma, better than most of the other places I've been to. I thought about putting some sriracha to top it off, but after the first taste, I knew it was worth tasting the entire bowl by itself. The flavors really were on point, and the descriptions were valid with flying colors. My friend also seemed delighted with his option of Beef Stew. I'd say that was one of the most fulfilling pho experiences I've had in a long time. I would recommend this to anyone that's craving a nice hot bowl of pho noodle soup during cold weather. It was a pleasure to experience, and I'll certainly be back to seconds in the future, maybe try it with the bone marrow as well! read more

I came here for lunch on December 27. Since I wasn't sure if the restaurant would be open or not, and there is no indication on the restaurant's website/social media on the holiday hours, I made a reservation via the website. I am very satisfied with the ease of making a reservation, I got a text confirmation within a couple hours. I came here with 3 seniors. Since I did not want to be interrupting the meal by taking photos of everyone's food, I discreetly took only a photo of my own food. I ordered the Grilled Pork Vermicelli because it came with 3 pieces of spring rolls that I can share with others. The meat was marinaded tastily and the vermicelli was also cooked to the right softness. The portion size was just right and I felt I got enough value for the money. I did not personally taste the other dishes, but the rest of my party were all happy with the food. The service was excellent. The server always came to us with a sweet smile and she checked to make sure that the food was okay and refilled our tea. One thing to note is that street parking at the front is pay parking, but there is free parking at the back. I stopped at the front to let the seniors off and then proceeded to park in the back and took the last spot. read more

Have drove passed this place so many times and finally came with some friends. It is the old Queen's Cafe, in the corner. We ordered a bunch of items to share. We got the Da lac beef hot pot, Banh Hoi platter, B&D special pho, braised duck noodles, papaya salad, crunchy wings, skewers and some more spring rolls. The actual hotpot bowl is smaller than we thought but you get another plate with veggies, tofu, taro, bean curd, etc. The pot already has beef balls, beef tendon, red dates, lemongrass, beef flank so the soup is very rich. They refill with more soup as you go. The braised duck noodles was really good. The duck is still juicy and the soup has a nice subtle taste of the duck flavor with a hint of the coconut broth. The platter has betel beef, spring rolls, pork skewers, prawn skewer, pork sausage skewers, 5 individual rice vermicelli layers, lettuce and Viet herbs. I liked the betel beef and spring rolls. I didn't have the pork sausage so not sure how it is. My friend said it was good so next time, I'll get that. The B&D pho was good. You can get either regular or extra-fatty broth. We got the regular broth. It wasn't too salty, was light but still had a nice beef taste. The meat was tender and there was a good amount of it in the bowl. For dessert, we got the cassava cake, coffee ice cream and pandan ice cream. They have their own ice cream machine. The coffee one was really good. It reminded me of either viet coffee or like a chocolate covered coffee bean. The cassava cake wasn't too sweet, moist and was a good size. We will be back to try the rice dishes and more appetizers. read more

I have been wanting to try this place since IG accounts I follow raved about it. Reviews on Yelp though are mixed and now I know why. We ordered: *Coconut Rice Cake $16: interesting flavor and cute presentation. It's worth trying but not epic. *Mini B&D Spring Roll $7: 5 tiny pieces but for $7, it's fair. I always prefer Vietnamese spring rolls wrapped in rice paper rather than wonton wrapper. It tasted a bit off, doesn't have the aroma of spring rolls. For this, I'd give it 2/5. *Crunchy Wings/Chili Fish Sauce flavour $14: it's a good appy, love the flavour but could be stronger. *Grilled Pork Chop on Rice $16.50: very tender and satisfying good old grilled pork chop! *Tomato Crab Soup $30: it's a summer special. Ingredients include crab meatballs, thin slices of pork hock, tofu, tomatoes and a lobster tail. Soup flavour is a bit weak for me, doesn't exude the flavours of the sea. Neither is the tomato flavour. Lobster is cooked right crunchy though. Overall, this resto serves a modern take on Vietnamese cuisine but is a bit lacking on the flavours. Price of pho noodle soup is decent and comparable to other places. Nuoc Cham, Vietnamese dipping sauce is on the sweet side, almost masking the saltiness of fish sauce. What is Vietnamese cuisine if nuoc cham is not done right? read more

Modern & clean Vietnamese restaurant that serves alcoholic beverages. Servers are always sweet and good at answering questions about the menu. Their dishes taste pretty healthy and I love that their broths are all simmered for several hours. For all their noodle dishes you can add extra noodles for $2. B&D Special Pho: very tasty, choose between regular or extra-fatty broth. Bun bo hue: made daily and it's just the right amount of spicy. This is my fave dish! Crunchy wings: I always order B&D special chilli fish sauce. These wings are so crispy & flavourful! They have speciality dishes depending on the season. I tried their 'special crab soup' off their winter special menu: 7 hour simmered pork bones with crab meat , house tapioca, rice noodles, pork hock, and an entire deep-fried soft-shell crab. I was happy with the amount of crab meat. Great way to warm up in this cold weather! read more

Comfy and modern restaurant in Burnaby. Free street side parking around the block if you don't mind a short walk. I've also tried their Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef noodle soup) *not pictured* which I enjoyed as well. It's probably my go-to order. Pork skewers are a MUST (so juicy and magnificently grilled).The betel beef is also AMAZING *not pictured*. Definitely recommend both the pork and betel beef skewers. Pretty good portions for the lemongrass chicken rice, and comes with an egg. Mini spring rolls were very mediocre, I'd probably skip this. I also liked their house special pho - get it extra fatty for extra flavour! Not a fan of the papaya salad, it doesn't have much flavour to the sauce and is on the raw side. Duck Leg pho was interesting. Soup was on the sweet and herbal side, which isn't for everyone. Very warming for the cold months. Drinks: I like their classic viet iced coffee, but the guava soda was surprisingly delicious and wasn't too sweet either. Fizzy too! Washrooms are also nice and clean which is an added bonus. read more

I have been here multiple times and am always happy with the quality of the food. They have some unique dishes and I like how they have seasonal items to keep the menu interesting.

The restaurant is spacious and clean, and service is always friendly. Definitely on my list of restaurants to pick from when I'm craving for Vietnamese food. read more

More like a 3.5-3.8 stars. They don't take reservation before 8pm and not for party less than 4, which seems like a weird policy. Server suggested me to call 30 minutes before to be put on a waitlist, so I did. I arrived at 7pm and was seated promptly. They have the Bites of Burnaby available, I ordered the papaya salad, soft shell crab soup noodle, mango panna cotta & and salted plum soda. For $35, that's quite a lot of food! The papaya salad tastes just as expected, quite a generous portion. The soft shell crab soup is quite thick, not like a pho broth. It's more like stew. The tapioca noodles are softer than expected. The soft shell crab itself has good flavour, but the soup and noodles lack depth and dynamics in flavour. Mango panna cotta is quite nice, but the salt plum soda is too salty. Service is quite attentive and price is reasonable. I'll likely go again to try other dishes, hopefully other signature dishes are more impressive. But with Hoang Yen opening a Burnaby location, it's a very tough competition. read more

Finally made it out to try B&D Authentic Viet Cuisine. It's a family run Vietnamese spot (husband runs the front, wife is the chef) next door to Anatolia's Gate Restaurant. The inside is modern, bright and spacious. Service was friendly but slow. Had to wave them down to replenish our hot pot broth and refill tea pots. The menu is split into appetizers, noodles, rice & vermicelli, share dishes, vegetarian and sweet dishes. Trip #1 - Lau bo da lot ($27.00) - good for 2 people. Broth was flavourful. The tofu sauce was unique. Good portion of meat and vegetables. Favourite was the dried tofu skin. Egg noodles were okay but nothing special. Least favourite thing was the taro, very starchy. - Banh hoi thit nuong cha gio ($23.00) - all the meat skewers were great. Mini spring rolls were small but crispy. Betel beef were also small but tasty. Best of the skewers was the lemongrass pork sausage. Wrapped around a piece of lemongrass, which really enhanced the flavours. - Herbs - small portion. - Bun bo hue ($15.00) - broth was clean with good depth. A touch of heat. I've had my share of BBH's in town and this one was solid. - Banh khoai mi ($7.00) - cassava cake took some time to come out but it was hot and steamy. Not too sweet and real shredded coconut. Trip #2 - Banh khọt ($15.00) - nice to try but pricey. - Braised duck noodles ($20.00) - broth was interesting, nice flavours but in a different, unexpected way. Well balanced and not too herbaceous. The shitake mushrooms were plump. Duck leg had a good amount of meat on it. Worth a try if you want to eat something new. - Com ga xoi mo ($17.00) - decent but I wouldn't order this over any of their noodles options. - Bun bo hue ($15.00) - a touch spicier than our first visit. Enjoyable again. Will be back to B&D to try more dishes. read more

Vietnamese food with a modern twist on Kingsway in the Highgate Burnaby area. They have so many interesting options on their menu like braised duck noodle and beef hot pot! I am also impressed with all the vegetarian options available. We ordered crunchy wings (salt and pepper flavor), B&D special pho, and grilled pork vermicelli dish. The wjngs were super crispy and well seasoned. The pho is plated so beautifully! I personally find the broth could use a little bit more salt but that's my personal preference. The pho come with generous amount of meat, meat balls, tripes, tendon and brisket. I like the grilled pork vermicelli the best. The grilled pork comes in the form of skewers sided with 3 mini spring rolls along with fresh veggies. My mouth still waters thinking about the dish! The restaurant is spacious with modern decor. The staff are friendly and attentive. There are quite a bit of street parking available. read more

Solid Pho place near Edmonds. Parking is available on the side streets. The venue is very clean looking and modern. Staff were friendly and helpful. No complaints. Spring rolls - mini finger sized ones. I think there were 5 in total. Skin is the crispy type as opposed to fluffy. B&D special pho - bit of everything. Sirloin, flank, trip, tendon, and beef balls. Soup was clear. There are 2 options - regular and fatty. Everything was nice and light. Served with long sticks of green onion, as well as plenty some cilantro. I liked the food here quite a bit. Wouldn't mind coming back. Recommended. read more

This is an updated review after a second visit. I think they still have cozy ambiance and excellent service but I find the broth more flavorful at other Pho competitors and unfortunately, they didn't win me over on the second visit. Pho was just "meh" tasting but they still earned 4.5 stars for good service. Too bad, food quality wasn't the most consistent.

B&D Authentic Viet Cuisine is a newly opened restaurant on Kingsway! They offer a wide array of traditional dishes with a modern twist Prawn Coconut Rice Cake (15) B&D Special Fried Chicken Rice (17) Braised Duck Noodle Soup (20) Salted Plum Soda (5.5) Guava Soda (5.5) Cassava Cake (7) I really enjoyed the Prawn Coconut Rice Cakes as you get to make your own wrap with the lettuce and dip it in fish sauce. I do wish there was more of a savoury coconut moment which may further elevate this dish! Next, the Special Fried Chicken Rice was pretty standard. I liked the addition of pickled greens which kept the dish interesting. The chicken was crispy and tender I also tried the Braised Duck Noodle Soup, which is braised daily for 6 hours! The broth was more herbal which may take an acquired taste to fully enjoy, but it was definitely unique. The duck was super soft and juicy. This is definitely a dish you won't find that often at Vietnamese restaurants Lastly the Cassava Cake was the perfect way to end off the meal! It is incredibly filling though so leave some room for this one! Overall would come back to try their other items! read more

admittedly i've been to b&d authentic viet cuisine a few times and have not been impressed. when it first opened, i was excited to see it all over social media with insane wait times and line ups. i want to love this place, as it's location is convenient to my parent's place, they take resos, accept credit cards, and have vegan options available on their menu. the first time i had the pho, it was just okay, nothing special. another time i ordered their chicken and rice dish and some of the rice wasn't even cooked properly, and another time i had their special duck with noodle in soup and it was too salty, my dad complained that the soup was not hot enough. the owners are friendly and engaging and dat even went out of his way to run to save on foods to buy oat milk to accommodate a vegan palate. the layout of the restaurant doesn't allow for the servers to see every table, making this difficult for some patrons to try and get their attention. on our most recent visit, we were a party of ten on a tuesday evening and our orders seemed to be staggered. most everyone seemed to enjoy their meals, and the dishes photograph well. read more

Did not live up to the hype .. what a pity! Food .. ordered BBH & Grilled Pork Vermicelli to try out .. - BBH .. broth was luke warm, flavour was one dimensional .. just salty and no umami at all .. and above all no fragrance from the herbs that is "authentic" to the famous Bun Bo Hue!! ( No herbs or vegetables were included e.g : thinly sliced banana blossom, red cabbage, mint, perilla etc. ) Disappointed as they say its made daily in limited quantity!! - Grilled Pork Vermicelli .. Unable to review as it did not show up after more than 30mins. Already made allowance for their recent opening, purposely went there during off peak hours and the place was not busy at all and there were about 3 or 4 wait staffs on the floor plus the "manager / owner". I have to give credit to the staff that served us as she did check with us after she saw me finishing my BBH but my dining partner was still without food!! The lack of checking in after food was delivered resulted in order not showing up...anyways, the food quality itself will not bring me back! Best wishes to the proprietor!! read more
