Went to DD Mau during Dine Out to try their $40 three-course menu. The space is pretty cool (though it's located in a somewhat questionable neighborhood). Service was friendly and welcoming. Overall, it's a solid hangout spot for Vietnamese fusion. Golden Basa Roll ($13) A rice-paper roll with fish and vermicelli. Unfortunately kind of forgettable -- the flavour was pretty mild and not something I'd order again. Fried Sticky Rice ($14) My favourite dish of the night. The fried sticky rice had a great texture -- crispy on the outside and chewy inside. Served with lap cheong, shimeji mushrooms, and a fried egg. The sweet soy sauce tied everything together nicely. Damn Good Chicken & Rice ($21) My second time trying Vietnamese turmeric chicken and rice. It reminded me how many Southeast Asian countries have similar chicken-and-rice dishes with their own tweaks. Hard to go wrong with this -- a solid option. Grilled Meatballs & Lemongrass Vermicelli ($25) A classic bún chả. I always enjoy the freshness of herbs and how light Vietnamese dishes can feel. That said, the protein-to-noodle ratio felt a bit off, and the broth leaned a little too sweet for me. Banana Cake ($10) A unique dessert, though not really my thing. The banana had a very glutinous, chewy texture. Served with tapioca pearls and coconut milk.

This place is always delicious! Came here for a work lunch and the food did not disappoint. Started with a 'Not a beer' drink which is jasmine tea + foam - very refreshing and light! My favourite appetizers were the crab pockets and deep fried crispy rice cubes with Chinese sausage. Both dishes had so much flavour and excellent crunch! For my main, I got a winter special, Banh Canh Cua. The broth was very tasty, noodle texture was great, and I enjoyed the variety of meats and seafood. I did have some crunchy bites in there... felt kind of sandy from the seafood or something. Service was very friendly and efficient.

Dine Out Vancouver 2026 is officially in full swing! We hit up DD Mau Chinatown for their $40 3-course menu and it did not disappoint. The Smashing Rice Paper was a refreshing, textural start, but the Fried Sticky Rice was the absolute MVP--crispy, savory, and so comforting. For mains, the Hà Nội Style Grilled Meatballs and Lemongrass Chicken Vermicelli were bright and packed with flavor. We wrapped things up with the Banana Cake (a must-try!) and felt so well-looked after by the staff. The vibe is perfectly "Chinatown cool" with a modern Asian aesthetics. We had a wonderful time!

We tried out their Dine Out Vancouver dinner and really enjoyed how playful and creative the menu was from start to finish. We began with the fried sticky rice, which was surprisingly interesting. The sticky rice is pan-fried, cut into small cubes, and tossed with shimeji mushrooms, sweet soy sauce, sliced lap cheong sausage, and topped with a runny egg. It's tasty and comforting but FYI... the rice really sticks to your teeth. The smashing rice paper was a standout starter. It starts with a deep-fried rice paper (almost like a shrimp cracker), followed by a steamed rice sheet topped with flavorful minced pork, shrimp, and scallions. Dipped into the fermented pineapple anchovy sauce, it was inventive, bold, and delicious. For mains, the vermicelli bowl with grilled lemongrass chicken came with fried pork spring rolls and delivered exactly what you'd expect in a good way. The Hà Nội-style grilled meatballs and pork with vermicelli felt like a deconstructed pho, where you dip the noodles and vegetables into a sweet and spicy soup. A very solid and comforting choice. We finished with the banana cake, which leaned more glutinous in texture. Paired with tapioca and coconut milk poured over top, it was rich, satisfying, and a great way to end the meal. Overall, a thoughtful Dine Out menu with creative dishes, comforting flavors, and a nice balance of familiar and inventive bites. Definitely worth checking out.

The mango sticky rice drink was lifechanging. We shared a couple of dishes, both of which were excellent. My personal favorite was the ha noi grilled meatballs. The service was great and it was super homey inside. Definitely recommend!

Chicken Pho

DD Mau in Chinatown is always a solid choice when I'm craving Vietnamese comfort food. The squid ball skewers were super flavourful and perfectly cooked with a great bouncy texture. The chicken pho was good-- warm and comforting but was a bit light in terms of the broth flavour. We also had the spring rolls, which were tasty and crispy. Overall a great date spot for a satisfying meal in Chinatown.

Chicken Banh Mi
Anisa W.

Cute viet spot in Chinatown! Have heard good things about this spot and did not disappoint, they have good happy hour and late night deals! The chicken banh mi was $13 and 11" the chicken was incredibly juicy and I was so so happy the bread does NOT scrape the top of my mouth. The chicken pho was amazing as well the broth was very flavorful.

Holy crap. Wings. Saigon sunrise

holy freaking shiza. This restaurant manifested itself from my dreams. 9-11 fri sat happy hour? Vietnamese upscale fusion? Us baddies from LA were so confused why this place wasn't freaking packed. And service was impeccable. Music was perfect. We got sat immediately but I would wait to sit at this place for 1 hr and still think its worth it. You have to get the wings. And the xoi sticky rice. Wings 100/10. Must get. Juiciest fried chicken. Maybe yhe best fried chicken ive ever had. Saigon sunrise 10/10. Amazing. Got me going. Milky Smooth. 7/10. The clarified milk tea and pandan flavors were awesome. Idk how i felt about the flavor combos as a whole though. The drink was a little strong for me. but NOT a bad thing to complain about !!!!!! And for the price?!!! For the happy hour?!!!!! Lit. Xoi Fried Sticky Rice. DELICIOUS. 10/10. Mightve liked some more freshness like more do chua on top. But wow.

My friend took me here for dinner and I really enjoyed the food!! Everything was tasty and the ambiance was nice and cozy. The service was also amazing :)

It's a chill spot in chinatown, love how they are open late. I really enjoyed the wings, squid, fried rice, and banana cake! Service is fast here! The soups are good but I wouldn't say it's the best in the city. It's a refreshing spot that likes to experiment and refresh their menu every few months. My only critique is that the durian creme brûlée was too thick. Giving it an over cooked texture versus a light steamed custard. I would definitely come back for everything else.

Damn Good Chicken and Rice
Megan D.

I really loved the inside of the restaurant--the ambiance and service were great. While the food isn't the most authentic, it's still decent. My favorite dishes were the fried sticky rice and the damn good chicken and rice; both had good flavor. I took a bite of the chicken & rice with shallots and onions, followed by a spoonful of soup--it was a perfect combination. The chicken pho was also very comforting and hearty. Although the food was good, but there are a few things that can be worked on. I felt like the chicken wings weren't the freshest, though the flavor was still good. The beef carpaccio slices were a bit too thick, making the beef chewy. The hu tieu didn't have much flavor; it felt like I was just eating rice noodles with some toppings. Overall, I think DD Mau has some great ideas. While some dishes might not be super authentic, they still offer a solid dining experience.

A super fun spot sporting traditional flavours with delicious concepts. Vancouver is no stranger to Vietnamese food and you can easily find a cozy spot/restaurant just about anywhere. I took my parents here for lunch to try this unique spot. I love that they have a seasonal fresh sheet! Great for local and seasonal specials that you may never had before. They have a QR code on the table, but you can also ask for physical menus. The Day Menu is very straight forward with great staples, like pho, rice dishes, sandwiches and share foods. They have an interesting drink menu if that your jam. What we ordered: DD Mau Wings $17 Special Short Rib Beef Dip $18.5 Ha Noi Style Grilled Meatballs & Vermicelli $23 Dam Good Chicken & Rice $19.5 DD Mau Vietnamese Coffee $7.5 Ube Coconut Cloud Vietnamese Coffee $10 Deep-fried chicken wings to share. Can't go wrong with a crispy batter and then coated with a sweet fish sauce glaze. This is a great appetizer to make prepare your stomach for more food. Banh mi sandwiches to me seem to be trending, so when we tried the Short Rib Beef Dip was so good! A small bowl of pho broth to dip you meaty sandwich screamed comfort. My favourite dish was the Ha Noi Style Grilled Meatball & Vermicelli. The meatball was soaked in a sweet & sour, fish sauce "broth" with picked veggies and cilantro. On the side was the vermicelli and some leafy greens. Almost like a deconstructed version of other vermicelli rice noodle dishes. 10/10 would order again. DD Mau has two locations; Chinatown and Yaletown. If you want to try some elevated Vietnamese food go check them out!

Awesome hidden gem in old Chinatown. The menu has much to choose from, either soups, snacks, or mains. The food was all executed well and the service was equally awesome. The vibe for lunch is pretty low key and busy. In the evenings they have live music and definitely a more lively, hip vibe. A great restaurant to add to your list when visiting Chinatown!

Cali girl here *wave* I tried a bunch of different places but couldn't really say any was a favorite. I finally asked my nail tech what her favorite place was and she recommended Pho 37 and she was not wrong. Then I remembered that my nail tech will never leave me astray. I only had to try their pho once to know, THIS IS IT. Then I had to get their Bun Bo Hue, just tomake sure. The triple crown will be their Banh Mi, which I'm excited to try next but so far 5 stars all the way. Best Pho broth and the best Bun Bo Hue that I've found so far in the downtown Vancouver area. I'm sure as you fan outside of the city limits that there are just as good options but I've finally found my go to spot close to work and home after 3 months of living here. A plus plus is the huge portions but I also have to commend the meat to noodle ratio is just perfect. This is a cute little spot on Robson. Don't sleep on this one, ladies and gents. Dine in or dining out, don't forget to ask for the chilli garlic oil and garlic vinegar on the side. These condiments will level up any dish!

I stopped in around 5:30 p.m. on a Sunday, and nearly every table was full. Even with the crowd, I…read morewas seated right away. The only small issue was that it took a little while before someone came to take my order, and I eventually had to wave someone over. It wasn't a big deal, though, especially considering how busy they were. The portions here are huge, especially for the price. The broth was a little sweeter than I personally prefer, but it was very clean, clear, and flavorful. This is what I look for in a good bowl of pho. The noodles were cooked perfectly and had a nice soft texture. I ordered a combination bowl. My only suggestion would be a bit more of tripe and tendon. The tripe was a little sparse, and I honestly didn't realize I had tendon until I was almost finished with the bowl. But I like those, and not a lot of people do. Despite the restaurant being packed, the staff was stayed attentive, kept food coming out quickly, and did a great job taking care of everyone. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming. There was a nice mix of people. Some quietly watching videos on their phones, others catching up over conversation. It felt like the kind of neighborhood spot that attracts everyone. Overall, this is a convenient, affordable place with good pho and generous portions. If I'm in the area again, I'd definitely come back. .

Went in for lunch with my granddaughter, both of us fans of Vietnamese food. Ordered Green Papaya Salad ($12), Lemongrass Chicken on Vermicelli with one spring roll ($17), one lime soda ($6.50) and one pop ($3). Food arrived within minutes of ordering. Portions were very generous. The salad was perfect with everything very fresh, as it should be but often isn't in some places. Plump prawns and the scent and taste of basil was prominent. Delicious! The lemongrass chicken (we ordered extra chicken) with a spring roll was also very generous. We did not finish it between the two of us. Again, all was fresh, tasty and hot. This is one of our standard orders and Pho Goodness did not disappoint. Granddaughter declared it better than at our regular favourite, and Pho Goodness is around the corner from her home and not a bus ride out to Kingsway! Service was friendly and responsive. We asked that the volume be turned off on the massive TV over our heads (which nobody was watching) (it was), requested a glass for the pop and immediately received a tumbler full of ice. Lovely. We have found a new favourite on Davie Street, a true foodie heaven with a collection of independent restaurants of many ethnicities available. We will return to Pho Goodness when the urge for Vietnamese food strikes again.

On a rain-soaked Vancouver night, just before wandering into the soft glow of the annual Lumiere…read moreFestival, we slipped into Hestia Veggie for warmth and a little shelter from the pitter-patter outside. The rain had settled into that familiar Vancouver rhythm, steady and soft, turning the streets into mirrors beneath the city lights. Inside, everything felt worlds away. Gentle lighting washed over the clean, calm interior, and for a moment, the noise of the wet evening seemed to fall away. It was the kind of quiet exhale you only notice after stepping out of the cold. The curry laksa arrived first, a vibrant bowl of yellow curry filled with broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, vegan shrimp, kale noodles, mushrooms, and coconut milk. Against the grey evening outside, its golden broth looked almost sunlit. It was a dish that seemed perfectly suited to the night, the kind of steaming bowl you imagine wrapping your hands around while rain taps against the windows. The broth was a little watery, but it still carried that small, familiar embrace you reach for on a wet night. The laksa is a dish so many seem to praise, and at first glance, it was easy to understand why. The bright curry, generous vegetables, and colourful ingredients made it look hopeful and inviting. But as we worked our way through the bowl, the balance began to feel a little off. There was considerably more soup than noodles, leaving the dish feeling lighter than expected. The broccoli and cauliflower also had that unmistakable frozen texture, which took away some of the freshness I was hoping for. It wasn't bad, but it felt muted. Like a song that should have been louder, this was a laksa that seemed to have lost a little of its spark somewhere between the kitchen and the table. Then came the smoked eggplant, and suddenly the evening took a more interesting turn. An entire eggplant arrived at the table, beautifully tender and deeply smoky, almost reminiscent of the aroma of a prized cigar. It was topped with Impossible meat, peanuts, salino, and dried shallot, creating a mixture of textures that made every bite feel a little different. The eggplant practically collapsed beneath the fork, its smoky flesh contrasting with the savoury meat and the little bursts of crunch from the peanuts and shallot. The menu mentioned a pineapple sauce, although if it was there, it had quietly disappeared into the background. I couldn't really find it beneath the other flavours. Even so, the eggplant itself had enough character to hold my attention. And then, almost as if the restaurant wanted to remind us exactly why we had come, the Hestia Saffron Curry arrived. This was the moment everything came together. Thick, fragrant, and unapologetically flavourful, the curry carried the kind of warmth that seems to travel beyond the bowl. The saffron shavings melted into the sauce, leaving behind a rich golden colour and an aroma that immediately drew us closer. Beside it sat a little pot of sticky rice, almost ceremonial in its presentation, waiting to be folded into the curry. The sauce clung beautifully to the rice, rich without feeling overwhelming, and each bite brought another layer of fragrance and warmth. There was something deeply comforting about it, the sort of food that doesn't simply fill you up but makes you slow down for a moment. Of everything we ordered that evening, this was easily the standout. Even the space itself seemed to understand the mood. The lighting was thoughtful and warm, the service was friendly, and the menu was broad enough to make you curious about what might be waiting on a future visit. As someone who isn't vegan, I don't often leave a plant-based meal feeling genuinely, completely satisfied. This time, I did. Not just full, but warm in that particular way a good meal can make you feel on a cold night. Eventually, we stepped back outside into the Vancouver rain. The pavement shimmered beneath the festival lights, umbrellas drifted past like dark little sails, and the glow of Lumiere waited somewhere ahead. The cold returned almost immediately, but the warmth of dinner lingered. Walking toward the lights, I found myself thinking less about the dishes that missed the mark and more about that saffron curry, the smoky eggplant, and the feeling of having found a little pocket of warmth on a wet Vancouver evening. Sometimes, that's exactly what you hope a restaurant will give you.

To begin, I'm a chef specializing in Asian cuisine, so I know what I'm talking about!…read more Last night we went to Hestia and ordered three items. The Garden Rolls were absolutely the #1 worst ones we've ever eaten! We've had hundreds of fresh rolls at dozens of places and sadly, none were as tasteless as these. They consisted of noodles, a bit of flavorless tofu and cucumber. Fresh rolls MUST have at least one or more of the following: fresh mint, fresh cilantro or fresh Thai Basil. Hestia's had NONE!. To add insult to injury, the watery sauce also had NO flavor. To add more insult, they were baggy and poorly wrapped and the innards kept falling out. Not fun and definitely not good. The king oyster mushrooms were very good, but there was a ton of pink mayo dousing it. I would have preferred the sauce be in a separate bowl so we could choose how much dipping we'd like to do. The saffron tofu bowl was sensational! Perfectly spiced and full of a huge variety of well-cooked veggies plus the saffron rice was good too. No one came during our meal to ask if we needed anything or to ask how our meal was. The customer service is in need of some work.

We also got an order of salad rolls ($7.50 plus tax), which comes with 2 rolls. The rolls came quite late. They were pretty standard, coming with fried tofu, vermicelli, and lettuce. The peanut dipping sauce was on the liquidy, salty soy sauce side of things -- I wish it were creamier and less salty. 3/5 The soups were decent. The broth was peppery, with some nice, gentle spices detectable in there. I asked for a side of chili oil, which helped amplify the broth. You get a generous portion of noodles, fried tofu, and vegetables (broccoli, bok choy, carrot). Unfortunately the veggies were quite overcooked -- the broccoli was almost soggy, so were the carrots and bok choy. 3/5 All in all, middle-of-the-road veggie pho. The broth is pleasant. The veggies were overcooked, but plentiful and nicely chosen. Decent place for veggie pho.
