Great Vietnamese style sandwiches and friendly services. Haven't tried their Pho yet, but will definitely go back and give it a shot. A must go in the neighbourhood. read more

I love this hidden gem in Burnaby! It doesn't look like much from the outside but my family and I frequently order takeout and are always satisfied with their banh mi's which are nice and crispy on the outside, but soft and warm on the inside. The quality of food and low prices make it a worth the visit every time! read more

Technically 3.5 Ordered: #16 Half Chicken and Pork on Rice with salad ($8.25) Thumbs up: friendly and responsive staff, quick service, generous portions (very filling) Concerns: the pork was a bit overcooked, chicken burnt on the edges (or is that just the nature of the dish?) Note: their chili oil is on the spicy side, I made the mistake of adding too much... read more

Ha Cafe - #16 - Vietnamese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

This is one of my favorite if not the best Vietnamese restaurant I've been to in Greater Vancouver. It's quite small and quaint but they make the best noodle soup I've ever had and I go with my wife often. I think their secret is sauteed onions and basil. The basil is extremely fresh and very delicious and their prices are very reasonable. We love their food every time and they're quite fast and quite courteous with their service as well. The only thing is one time I ordered a spicy chicken dish and half the chicken was just fat and skin. So that was disappointing but other than that it's an amazing place and I'd recommend it to anyone for any culture any background! Yummy! read more

Great cheap viet cuisine. Come here many times and everything is quite good. Chicken wings were almost comparable to Phnom Pehn without the wait! read more

I like the variety of food here, not just pho. It is pretty tasty. There are vegetarian options too. Have come here several times. read more

Ha Cafe - Interior - Vietnamese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

I understand that it was a Sunday afternoon on Thanksgiving weekend so the busyness of the restaurant was expected. However, when the kitchen completey loses your order and all tables that were seated AFTER me we're getting their food, I had to say something except I didn't think I would be brushed off by the waitress. I simply asked if she could please check on my meal. Her response was "Ya it's coming." and didn't go and check just continued her duties serving other tables. Eventually the manager came over and asked what I ordered again and apologized for losing the order. It took another 20 minutes for them to get my order after the manager went to the kitchen and put a rush on it. I ordered a simple rice and grilled pork dish which should not take long at all. I am bumping the rating up from 2 Stars to 3 Stars because the food was delicious and the manager waived the cost of my Vietnamese coffee for all the inconvenience. The dish itself was not greasy and well proportioned. If it wasn't for the manager and their response I would never come back but I will opt to give this place another chance. read more

really good noodle place！come to try! Especially No.1 rare beef noodle. I often come here to eat ' it's a good restaurant to eat breakfast and lunch. read more

Ha Cafe - Vietnamese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

The corner space in the strip mall allows for a spacious restaurant. While the large wall mirrors bounce off a lot of light to help make the space bigger than what it is. Choice of chairs and tables are light in the eyes, further alleviating the limited space from being too crowded. Vermicelli is a good portion, while their pho is smaller than others'. Spring rolls are more crispier than what I am use to, but still enjoyable. Pork was nicely cooked in thin slices - thank you (my bite size prefers smaller cuts). Where my only critique is their ratio between vermicelli to veggies. I felt like the amount of veggies overpowered the noodles. Otherwise, I enjoyed the meal. I would come back to Ha Cafe if I was close to the area, craving Vietnamese. Dish to table: 5 min read more

The food doesn't taste good as before, ordered lemon grass chicken and it was cooked very dry.

Have been to this place twice since they moved to the new location on Kingsway. Each time the food and service were great. And the prices are really good too! read more

I like Ha cafe, I always go there for dine in before the pandemic, so yesterday I went there for take out since they don't have dine in. I ordered the lemongrass chicken vermicelli as usual, but after two bite of the vermicelli, it's all bean sprout underneath (as you can see from pic), the amount of vermicelli was so little compare to what I had dine in (many times). I ordered around their closing time, it just makes me think that they don't wanna cook another new batch of vermicelli or something so they just throw in the leftover tiny bit of vermicelli inside, it was quite disappointed. read more

Open during covid, and the food is as great as ever. Ordered in-person, pick up was less than 10 minutes. The lemongrass chicken is always, always excellent :) read more

I think I found my new favourite neighbourhood spot to grab a bite. I had been in mourning since Solav Souvlaki in Station Square closed its doors this summer. When I lament the loss of these sweet little family restaurants, those who don't live here usually don't get it: "But you have the Crystal and Metrotown food courts and all these chain restaurants!" It's not the same! But along came Ha Cafe. The owners here really seem to take pride in their little restaurant unlike the many other seemingly similar restaurants in the area. The ingredients are so fresh and everything was perfectly prepared. We had the most amazing mango basil salad roll, lemongrass chicken and a house pho. I didn't take a close look but didn't notice any of the usual tripe, tendon, etc. though. (will have to go back and see! UPDATE: Sadly, and oddly, no tripe, etc here but delicious just the same) I couldn't recommend this more :) read more

My favourite pho place in Metrotown area. The staff members speak English. Establishments accepts credit card / debit card which is a lot more convenient than other typical Vancouver pho restos. I've never had a bad food experience here. Only thing I don't like are the couches that you may be seated at to eat. I don't think I've ever sat on a couch to eat at a dinner table before. Their couch looks and feels old and it sinks in. Short people may need a booster chair! read more

The pho is average nothing to complain about other than I hate when they put raw sprouts on the bottom of the bowl. This is the only place that does that...I don't know why because I like my sprouts cooked so it doesn't bring the temperature of my soup down. I like my soup super hot. I'm thinking they do it because it makes the portion size look bigger...who knows. Not happy with the chicken wings as I found them to be over cooked and dry with not much flavor. Would I go back for the pho, yes but next time I will ask for my sprouts cooked and on the side. read more

Friendly staff and cozy environment. Good selection of Chinese, Vietnamese food, they also serve breakfast! An odd mix of cuisines but good food nonetheless! read more

I have to congratulate this place for achieving what few indy restaurants accomplish. Good food across all 3 meal periods! You pay rent 24/7 you may as well serve all 3 meal periods right? Breakfast is your standard diner breaky ($4-$5), lunch they serve typical deli/diner sandwiches ($4 -$6) as well as the Vietnamese fare. Dinner they serve a selection of Vietnamese/Asian dishes. I don't know how anyone can complain about the price at this place the value for money equation is definitely on point here. The food is fresh, the place is clean and the service is attentive. The salad rolls were served with a handmade peanut sauce. The Pho was fresh, light, and delicious. This place is very approachable if you've never tried Vietnamese. Please enjoy J read more

Decent Vietnamese food at a very convenient location! The lemongrass chicken on rice really hits the spot. The chile sauce pairs sooo well with this dish. Very flavourful and large portions. All their smoothies are great too! read more

Cute little restaurant with easy parking and good service. I shared the spring rolls to start with my date, they were delicious! I had the lemongrass chicken, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. Some places the skin is too crispy or not crispy enough, I'm not kidding it was perfect! Serving size was huge, leftovers for lunch for the win! My date had a beef dish that I sampled, and the beef was so tender and tasty. Will be back for the pho! Very nice owner who runs the shop :) read more

I placed a take-out order and it was ready when I got there. it was really good and the food tasted amazing!

This hiddem gem is one of the best places for pho in Burnaby. Tucked in between several bigger stores, Ha Cafe holds its own with excellent food, good prices, and super speedy service. Their beef noodles were freshly served in minutes, and their crispy chicken wings packed more punch and flavour than most poultry dedicated restuarants. Dont let the vintage interior fool you, this place rocks and is my favourite place for pho in Burnaby. read more

Was pretty good... wife liked her pho... she said it was ok (ok... it didn't blow her socks off... she just had the regular beef one)... I had a banh mi (beef as well)... sandwich was tasty, wished it was a bit bigger, or a little more stuffed with... stuff (didn't matter veggies or meat... just more stuff). We also split a small order of tamarind sauce chicken wings... those were pretty decent too. Service was prompt... friendly... good overall. Place is close to us... it was pretty good, and not too badly priced... we'll be back. read more

Food may be ok but our server was as rude as one can get. If you can't properly greet customers or take orders without displaying the most obnoxious, repulsive demeanor, don't even work in the service industry. McDonald's has far more professional high school employees. First and last time eating here. read more

Really excellent authentic Vietnamese food, hole-in-the-wall kinda place. They accept credit card and parking is super plentiful as they are located in the Save on Foods plaza. I always order the chicken and pork on rice. The portion is huge and the meat is juicy and flavourful. The portion is big enough to feed 2 kids dinner AND lunch the next day. The best part is the kids LOVE it and always ask for more. For $11.50, happy kids and no dirty dishes what more can I ask for. Oh right, they also give a generous side of fresh green salad with pickled carrots, turnips and cucumber. Score! My reccomendation is try this place for quality take out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Every Friday night, I would come here for the spicy beef noodle and meat spring roll for my wife and pork chop on rice for myself. It's a real treat, the food is always consistently very good. I call 10-15 mins ahead and they will have everything packed for me by the time I got there. Very friendly service. read more

On the pricey side of Vietnamese cuisine. Decent service and atmosphere. read more

COCKROACH ISSUES!! This used to be my favourite pho place. I ate here a couple months ago with my sister and her boyfriend and he had a cockroach floating around in his pho. He saw it after he finished his pho unfortunately. We felt so sick. The owner admitted to having cockroach problems. They should close down and deal with the cockroach problem before serving anything! read more

First time visit,definitely not last. Had Vietnamese grilled chicken sub and coffee it was delicious read more

I ordered takeout from Ha Cafe this evening for the second time since moving to Burnaby and I must say I haven't been disappointed yet. They provided me with tons of beef and toppings for the pho, which was steaming hot and had a delicious, rich flavour by the way. I also ordered the grilled chicken banh mi and it was AMAZING! So crunchy and flavourful. One of the best places for Vietnamese food in Burnaby that I've tried. read more

Ha Cafe - special beef pho and banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Brought here once, didn't think too much of it, came back, and realized how great they are. I ordered the lemongrass chicken and my eyes just about popped out of my head when the server laid the plate down before me- it was huge and looked so appetizing. The portion seems big at first but I actually finished it all. No nasty grease on my lips or salty aftertaste. Their avocado smoothie was pretty tasty too- very creamy and not too sweet. Dunno how much milk they mix in it but it certainly didn't make me feel bloated afterwards. The staff are nice and friendly to just about anyone who walks through their door. read more

I've been here a few times in the last two years, their food is so yummy! Staff has been friendly every time. I always get take out because it's usually pretty busy in there. I highly recommend the shrimp won ton soup! read more

I discovered this place about 2 months ago when I had a craving for banh mi sandwiches. I have ordered and tried the cold cut, beef, and lemongrass chicken. All three flavours are delicious. The sandwiches have more meat than other places I have tried. There is a lot of the pickled veggies which add a lot of flavour although it is on the sweeter side so my only feedback for the restaurant is that they should add more vinegar in the brine. I am a regular customer now for their sandwiches. Their lemongrass chicken and pork chop with vermicelli dish is also really tasty and good portion size. The side order salad/veggies is usually very fresh. read more

The Ha Cafe is like the absolute worst...their food is alright (go for the banh mi or rice dishes rather than the typical vermicelli), but they are chronically understaffed and the people who go there are the absolute worst. Looking at the tiny space you would think two people would be stretching it, especially as many people do take out and no one mans the counter (time to time the servers will run over and deal with it, and then run into the kitchen to take out dishes), but that tiny space is completely bustling with people, which means 4 people should be doing the work that 2 are struggling to do. This leads to groups who suddenly walk in being taken to tables when people have been waiting in line for 20 minutes, take-out orders skipped and given out with missing dishes, and all kinds of fiasco that can completely ruin your lunch hour. I was personally there this afternoon and had a difficult time; I've been there a few times before and my company orders from them whenever we are working over time, but I will have to say today's experience put me off for good. The combination of their usual bargain hunting Chinese population, bitter seniors, along with very loud blue collar workers, culminating in terrible service proved to be just too much for me. I think they could have carved out a better market for themselves if they weren't so willing to waste 20, 30, 40 minutes of a person's time, but this isn't a doctor's office and a considerable portion of those in the neighbourhood are office workers who have little lunch time to spare. read more

Great authentic and cheap Vietnamese restaurant. Friendly staff and very fast service. Sometimes gets very busy over lunch hour especially when it's raining and I want pho ! The beef pho broth is light and well flavoured. They should put a patio to the side to make more space! read more

small restaurant in a neighbourhood kingsway mall. me and my friend went and we were seated at a small table. I smelt an awkward smell as soon as i sat down. i looked around and realized the washroom is very close that must be where the smell is coming from! i was disgusted by the smell of washroom and toilets so i asked if we could sit at the other table farther out. there were 4-5 other tables avaliable, but the server said those table are only for 4 people, i guess since we already ordered our food, we had no choice but to stay. then the food came, it was house special viet noodle, there was nothing special about it and alot of MSG because an hour after i finish, i was very thirsty! the whole experience was not so great....the smell was gross, the food was high msg and the price was not especially cheap either... won't recommend! read more

It used to be my fav option pho place until they close whenever they want. Many times we were looking forwards to their food on the days they said they are open, no it's closed. Same happened today. Also, I noticed the complaints have gone up whenever I sit in and overhear customers complaining about their service and wrong orders. read more

Great place to eat. Food is fabulous and the service is fast and efficient. Its a family business and they do very well. Lots of parking available to customers. Portions are big and price is great. The owners are very nice. read more

Great little Vietnamese cafe for pho, very busy at lunch time but quick turnaround. They also have a little western menu as well but I always have their pho or seafood noodles. read more

Great little place for dine in and take out, plus their service is excellent. I love that they have tons of appetizers to choose from on the menu. The portions are big and the broth wasn't oily, although it was a little too rich for me, so I add tons more bean sprouts to lighten it up a little. The special beef soup is my favourite here, you get tons of meat! The mango basil salad roll is great too! read more
