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.

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.

Pho sate ($16.75)

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.

Bun cha ca

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.

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.

Veggie pho (vegan)
Matt B.

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.

Bun Bo Hue
JT C.

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.

This was in my seafood soup. Along with one shrimp, two pieces of fake crab, one piece of squid and fishballs.

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

I went to the old Linh Cafe location (on West 4th) year ago, but this was my first visit to this…read morenew location. The space is much nicer, with high ceilings and lots of light - great looking bistro. I ended up trying the following: - Mussels: Very good. Classic dish, but I really like the use of cream in the broth. - Bánh Mì Cay Hải Phòng (Spicy Baguette Sticks): Good. A nice little snack, although it would be easy to recreate at home. - Lamb Chops: Very good. Cooked just right, and the pepper sauce added extra flavour. - Fried Frog Legs: Very good. This was probably the surprise dish for me. They weren't just the legs, but the entire bottom of the frog, so the pieces were huge. The garlic, butter and chili flakes gave it a extra punch. I really enjoyed this one. - Pho Bo: Good. Not the best pho I've had, but it's good enough to stand on it's own. Service was quite good. Very cheerful and quite attentive. Overall a nice meal. It's a great space, the food is solid, and service to match. What I really like is having the variety of both French and Vietnamese dishes, without either of them suffering in quality. Only downside is that is it expensive for what you get.

We were in the area so stopped by for a quick lunch…read more The decor and ambience are both very nice and inviting. The menu isnt big but they do have a reasonable selection of items but mostly dinner entrees We ordered a mini version of pho bo (beef broth pho), french escargot and the spicy baguette stick. The bone broth was good and the price for the mini version is good for a light lunch. We both enjoyed the spicy baguette stick with the pork pate. A pleasant surprise. However i find the escargot a bit pricey with the quantity and the way it was prepared. Slightly too oily to my personal prefence The iced vietnamese coffee we ordered tasted similar to a regular iced coffee, missing the sweet condensed milk flavor for a vietnamese coffee

Great location, right on a central part of Davie, this is a pretty typical pho joint. They have a…read moresizeable vegetarian section of the menu, including a vegetarian (vegan) noodle soup with veggies and tofu. My wife and I stopped in for dinner one evening and each ordered the aforementioned noodle soup--she got a small ($11.75 plus tax) and I got a regular ($12.75 plus tax). 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.
