    Rare beef pho
    Michael L.

    At the PNE for one of the Summer Night Concerts and looking for a place outside the PNE to eat. We parked several blocks west on Hastings and had a chance to look at the many dining options in the area while walking to the PNE. Stopped at Le Petit Saigon and glad we did. I opted for the rare beef pho and this was another good choice. I liked the broth and there was so much sliced beef. And there was no issue with the service. It was a positive food experience and happy to recommend Le Petit Saigon for pho.

    Nothing like some hot soup on a chilly 2C morning. I normally order delivery but was in the area and stepped in for a bite. The broth is well put together and the noodles had good mouthfeel. The portions were very generous.

    grilled meat on rice

    Haven't been here in awhile and won't be back anytime soon. The restaurant was dirty and had a weird smell. Pho: msg-filled broth and the noodles were overcooked and soggy. Grilled meat on rice: my husband ordered this and the meat had a lot of flavour. Portion was decent, I ended up eating part of this instead of my pho. Service could've been better, we waited awhile before the server came to take our order, and the restaurant wasn't even busy. I asked for hot tea and the server said ok, but that never came.

    It's been a minute since I've last eaten here in person. Thanks to an event at the PNE, I came back here again with a friend. Super casual and unpretentious ~ just how I like it They never disappoint with their great staff, fresh delicious food and good portions. I ESPECIALLY wanted to say a MAJOR thanks for allowing me to substitute the vermicelli with bean sprouts instead! Super helpful for those needing to reduce the carbs. Thanks so much! Pictured is 49A - grilled chicken with spring roll & typically vermicelli (find me on Instagram via @aida.loves )

    No frills Vietnamese restaurant on Hastings. Service was quick. I got the bun bo hue and enjoyed the spicy broth. Came with bean sprouts as well. They take cash and card. A good lunch under $20.

    I hadn't been here in years and it still has good value food that's delicious! We came here at round 7 pm on a week day and there was a lineup. It was worth the wait. Food: 4/5 - we all ordered different vermicelli dishes. The spring rolls are a must order. They give you good portions of food. There are both vegetarian and non vegetarian options. Service: 3/5 - they were too busy to be attentive Ambiance- 4/5 - nice decor. A great place to dine near the PNE. Parking - free street parking after 6 pm

    Lemongrass chicken pho
    Kay F.

    A great place for Vietnamese food in the Hastings area. I decided to get the lemongrass chicken pho and found that the chicken was a bit chewy but did find the broth quite flavourful. They did have lots of space for seating. Overall a decent spot for Vietnamese food if you're in the neighbourhood.

    Walked by Le Petit Saigon several times and noticed they seem to be quite popular. They're located next door to High Point - Beer Wine Spirits. We dropped in on a Saturday (around noon). People eat quickly here and it seems to be a popular destination for solo diners. Service was decent but we had to ask for a pot of tea and flag them down for refills. There's a TV that was playing NCAA football. Menu is split into appetizers, house special, noodle soups, vermicelli, rice and a few special dishes (only offered after 3:00pm). They offer bo 3 mon ($39.95), which is a rarity in town (only seen this dish offered at two other Vietnamese spots). - Goi cuon chay (#2B) ($7.50 for 2) - veggie salad rolls (consisted of a massive amount of shredded carrot and lettuce). Meh. - Ga nuong cuon (#5B) ($8.50 for 2) - lemongrass chicken salad roll. This were the better of the two. - Herbs - basil, bean sprouts, lime wedge and hot peppers. Very small portion. - Pho dac biet (#15) ($13.50 large) - the rare beef slices cooked incredibly quick so beware or else they will overcook. Best was the beef brisket which managed to stay tender. Broth was decent but nothing to make it stand out. - Bun mo chai, sate, la lot (#53) ($15.00) - we ordered this for the la lot but unfortunately, all of the beef sausages were a touch dry and slightly too chewy. The vermicelli was very plain; would have been better if they had brought out a side of nuoc mam. LPS is competent but doesn't have anything making me want to come back for more.

    Lemongrass chicken
    Melissa E.

    We were craving some Vietnamese food and decided to stop here on our way to the PNE. Ambience was ok, we sat at a window seat and there were a number of flies along the bottom. Everything else appeared to be clean. Menu was great, lots of options and good pricing (similar to other Vietnamese places we have eaten at). It's along Hastings so we parked on the street up a block. Service was quick, we were greeted promptly and our food came out very fast, almost too fast. I ordered the lemongrass chicken with noodles. I also ordered a side of spring rolls. The chicken was disappointing. It lacked flavour, had alot of fat (thighs were used and not trimmed of excess fat). And it was dry, now it's pretty hard to make a chicken thigh dry so my only conclusion is that they precooked it and then reheat. Hence the fact it came out within less than 10 min. Spring roll was good but that's about it.

    Unassuming from the outside, Le Petit Saigon is serving up some good pho and other Vietnamese fare in a clean and comfortable space. This place isn't gonna wow you with over the top decor or fancy cutlery, but it sure did provide us each with hot bowls of pho at a reasonable price. The broth was tasty and the noodles were cooked well and served with some springiness in the bite which is just the way I like it. In addition, we also got some spring rolls and I was pumped to see that they were made using rice paper wrappers and not the other egg wrappers. With Bao Chau no longer around, these springs rolls were the next best thing. Not quite as large, but certainly full of flavour and a crispy, but light texture. The quality of service was a bonus. The food came out fast and waters were topped up frequently. Overall, I was very pleased with our visit and am very likely to return.

    I went 1-hour before the restaurant closed, but the staff was accommodating. I was promptly seated and ordered a house special. The food was good and reasonably priced for Vancouver prices.

    Great food selection. Quick and friendly staff. Renovated and clean interior. Their bun Bo hue really it the spot! Food came out in 5 mins. My new go to pho place!

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!

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.

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.
