It is decent pho here and seems popular during meal times. There is a small parking lot at rear, with street parking around. I had the house special pho (#12) which was not bad. The soup was tasty but salty. Made me wonder if there was lots of MSG in it. I had the wonton soup with spring rolls combo before and it was ok. Nothing to write home about. My friend liked the rice dish. I do like that they have a dip bowl/saucer on the table for the sriracha, hoisin sauce and chili oil here. Plus the chopsticks were wrapped in paper. Service was minimal. read more

The pho is excellent. I have lunch there often. Service always with a warm smile. Ambiance is Vietnamese, not Canadian, which I like.

Love their bun bo hue and egg pancakes! Quick service and consistent food quality. If you have a strong heart, try their coffee!

I love coming here with my friends. The food is consistently flavourful and filling. The service is very attentive and helpful. Casual atmosphere with colourful decorations. We love the lemongrass chicken vermicelli, the wonton soup, beef udon noodle soup and the pork vermicelli. The chefs specials are all great. I love the complimentary tea they serve. The free parking in the back is a bonus. read more

First time returning since they changed ownership from Pho Tan to Ivy's. Food is still excellent. And I went with my go to pho...rare beef (#13). The pho was great. What I liked about Ivy's is that the flooring and tables have been replaced so it is much cleaner, and that one can now use credit or debit cards to pay. It was a positive food experience and happy to recommend Ivy's. read more

Looks like Pho Tan died and has reincarnated. Everything looks the same other than the lettering on the awning. Parking is available beside the building, as well as the side streets. The inside is a nice bright yellow and jungle green. Nice modern furniture. Staff were friendly and helpful. The pho is pretty run of the mill. Broth is dark but relatively thin. Decent meat slices and beef balls, and omasum too. Nothing crazy special, but it was filling. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point. read more

Eaten at Ivy's many many times. With and without family and friends. Such an improvement from when it was Pho Tan which was very unfriendly and mediocre. Ivy's is very friendly with excellent service without the "my name is ? and I'll be your server tonight" nonsense. I go to a restaurant to eat, not get a new BFF! Food is always super flavorful and the portions are huge. I always have lots left over for dinner at home the next day. Lots of options besides Pho which is delicious. There is parking at the back and on the side streets. read more

The list of Vietnamese spots to try never stops growing. We checked out Ivy's Kitchen on a packed Sunday night. We shared vegetarian spring rolls ($10.75), bun rieu ($16.75) and pho sate ($16.75). Bun rieu had good depth and the crab chunks were delicious. Pho sate was light; more coconut milk than peanut sauce. Good first visit. Need to to try their BBH and bun cha ca next time. read more

Having gone to Ivy's in person many times, as well as ordering from them on Uber Eats, I can safely vouch for them having a high standard for Vietnamese cuisine. I've tried a wide variety of their menu, including their rice cake omelet, bun bo hue, pho bo, spring rolls, bun rieu, and bun cha ca. Everything is executed with care and the broths are all light but flavourful. Portions are substantial, with a very good ratio of meat to noodles. I love that they'll make substitutions even when ordering delivery - I typically omit the pork hock in my bbh and add more blood cubes. If you're looking for something different from the norm, the rice cake omelet is a great option. The contrast of the crispy rice cake cubes with the cold pickled daikon makes for a great mix of textures. Give it a little dip in the accompanying nuoc mam and you've got a delicious appy. The service here is friendly and prompt, and the space is well maintained and clean. They also take card for your convenience. Ivy's Kitchen is definitely a welcome addition to the plethora of quality Vietnamese options in Vancouver, and I'll be back time and time again. read more

Ivy's Kitchen Vietnamese Restaurant took over from a previous Vietnamese joint (Pho Tan Restaurant). It's a family run spot, a few doors down from a Breka branch. The inside has a plethora of tables. Service is okay but it's painful flagging someone down for tea refills. Menu consists of appetizers, skewers, pho, house specials, vermicelli bowls, rice dishes and vegetarian. Their house specials are the way to go. Trip #1 We dropped in on a busy Sunday evening (6:30pm). - Vegetarian spring rolls (#39) ($10.75) - spring rolls were excellent and the filling tasty. - Herbs - basil, bean sprouts and lime wedges. Good heaping of bean sprouts. - Bun rieu (#25) ($16.75) - two chunks of crab (delicious, homemade), Vietnamese ham (great bite), pork blood, tofu, tomato and onion. Broth was clean with good depth. Perfect on a cold winter day. - 2x Pho sate (#23) ($16.75) - B went with beef, J opted for the chicken. Broth was light; more coconut milk than peanut sauce. The rare beef slices took awhile to cook in the broth. Okay sate but wanted more peanut flavour. Trip #2 We dropped in on a Friday evening (6:45pm) - Bun bo hue (#24) ($16.75) - broth was decent but light in depth. Good variety of meats, especially the two sliced chunks of homemade Vietnamese ham. Not my favourite BBH in town but above average. - Bun cha ca (#26) ($16.75) - broth was light and balanced. Dill note came through. Plenty of sliced homemade fish cakes. Above average bowls at Ivy's. 3.5 stars. read more

Just tried this place the other day & it did not disappoint! I'm a veggie pho connoisseur & the broth was so flavorful. My boyfriend had the beef satay and enjoyed it as well! read more

Stumbled upon Ivy's Kitchen during one of our shopping trips to West Coast Kids on Main St and finally had a chance to try them out. Hubby ordered his staple Viet food: lemongrass chicken and fried egg on rice while I ordered Beef Pho. Great food at a reasonable price. Service was prompt and friendly. Interiors are typical Asian restaurant but clean and spacious. read more

One of the best spots in Vancouver for veggie pho, and that's saying something given the overabundance of great spots now. I stopped in for dinner on Saturday at 6pm and the place was about half full. Since they opened a few months ago, I noticed they had some vegetarian (indeed, vegan) options, so we decided to try them out. My wife got the veggie pho ($15.95; with veggie broth), and I got the satay veggie pho ($16.95; with veggie broth). The soups came out in about 5 minutes. You get a generous portion of noodle soup, with plenty of perfectly cooked thin rice noodles, perfectly cooked and still-crunchy vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, carrot), and deep fried tofu. My wife's regular pho broth was very flavourful and amped up even more nicely by their homemade chili paste. My satay pho was brilliant, coming with a full-flavoured broth that was nutty and only the slightest bit spicy, again complemented nicely by the chili paste. All in all, we were extremely happy with both our soups. I've been to over 70 pho places in Greater Van now to try their veggie phos, and this ranks up there as one of the best ones. Highly recommended. read more

Been to this place a few times since it first opened and so far have not been disappointed. I would say this place has one of the better bun bo hue in regards of taste and the amount of ingredients they put into it. The place is clean, spacious, and pretty decent service. Here's what we ordered; 1. Deep fried spring roll, I like the light crisp skin because gives you that nice light crisp as you bite into it and the meat is moist not dry. 2. Deep fried chicken wings, they are fairly good size with a light crisp so not overly fried like most places do. And they are meaty and juicy. 3. bun bo hue, I would have to say this place has one of the better bun bo hue. Nice flavourful taste with a very generous amount of ingredients. If you like your bun bo hue then I do recommend you really give this place a try. 4. Special crab soup with vermicelli, pretty good but still like the bun bo hue more. Overall, this place is worth a try especially if you love your pho. It's fairly new but it seems like they are prepared to stay with their decent service and food. Their soups are tasty and it is safe to say they are quite generous on their ingredients especially if you love a lot of meat in your pho. I would give their Bun Bo Hue a solid 3.5 stars. Sorry ppl, no such thing as a 5/5 stars unless it is so amazing that I literally have dreams about it nightly with an orgasmic experience. read more

It's new and a great little spot on Main St. Service was awesome and friendly. Lots of seating too. Tried the lemongrass noodle bowl and the salad roll. Both was very filling and flavourful. Would definitely come back again. read more

The best Vietnamese food I've had outside of Hanoi! The pho ga broth is very rich and fh banh mi is nice and crispy

We found this place a while driving by one day. My girlfriend heard from her Vietnamese friend they used to have a page selling their food somewhere online and now they finally took over pho tan and opened their own restaurant. When I first went in I noticed a Spongebob pineapple house in the fish tank, I thought it was cute. My girlfriend and I ordered pho and the omelette. The broth was light but flavourful, the ingredient were fresh, and the pho was cooked just right. It was my first time having the omelette, it was very interesting. The radish and sauce was cold but the rice cake ontop of the omelette was very hot. 10/10 will come again read more

Our first visit since the old Pho Tan, which we patronized for about 15 years. It has been cleaned up, and the staff are lovely. Spring rolls are exactly how we like them. The spicy satay pho was delicious, although a bit too spicy for us. They told us that next time they can make it less spicy. Al in all, no complaints. Certainly on our very short list of favourites. read more

Stroller friendly! Came in with 6 people and a baby. It was a pleasant experience. We had the bun bo hue, lemongrass chicken, salad roll, spring roll and the curry dish. Everything was delicious ! I had the bun bo hue and it was very authentic and full of flavour. I am actually from hue so it was very tasty! I would've like it more spicy but that's just preference. Overall I will be coming here for my bun bo hue craving and will try the bun rieu next time! Good job guys! Love to support anyone attempting to opening a restaurant during Covid! Will definitely support ! read more

Delicious and fresh. Beef & brisket soup was delicious and the broth was perfect. Lemongrass chicken was also very good.

This was a great little spot when it was Pho Tan. Based on today's experience I would not recommend it. The servers were pleasant but a $17 satay seafood soup with aluminum fragments and very little seafood is not good value nor good for your health. read more

Best pho in Vancouver. The excellent service also. Always go for the number 15 for pho imo.

Great new Vietnamese place on main. Pho Tan closed and the new owners did a great job setting up the new place. Fantastic pho (great broth perfect noodles). Double fried big spring rolls. They also cleaned and painted the place. Will definitely go back read more
