    grilled meat on rice
    Ceci L.

    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.

    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.

    49A - chicken, spring rolls & normally with vermicelli but I made a special request (see review)

    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 )

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Bun Bo hue
    Tiffany T.

    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!

    the crispy spring rolls and tangy dipping sauce were delicious!!
    Wanda Y.

    the crispy spring rolls and tangy dipping sauce were extremely delicious!! but the grilled lemongrass chicken had soggy skin, no lemongrass flavour and forgettable vermicelli. the dip was great, but couldn't save this dish. the service is good, friendly and helpful. the thing I hated the most were the annoying fruit flies that kept swarming our food during the whole meal...gross! it wrecked the dining experience for me and my friends.

    Pho, small and large
    Angela F.

    There was no wait time when we came in and the restaurant was clean and we were seated quickly. We ordered pho and you can see the difference between the large and small size in the photo. The food came out quickly and the portions for the pho was generous and the price was very reasonable as well. The rare beef and brisket were nice and tender. The one negative thing was that the soup base was quite salty. This was my first time here so I am not sure if it was just a salty batch.

Not too loud. But definitely better than a fast food place. For this kind of place, it's as good as it gets. 4 stars - extremely solid and reliable place, it's just not a 5 stars for me because it doesn't blow my mind or anything.

Paid parking was not too hard to find on the Main Street but during busy dining hours it might be difficult. We got seated right away at the bar since there were no tables open and the service was quick. Traditional Japanese style ambiance and even the bathroom had rounded Japanese bowl sink. As someone who doesn't have chicken broth (paitan style) ramen, I was really looking forward to the original ramen I ordered but I was a bit disappointed in the flavor profile of the dish. The ramen had both chasu and seaweed paired with thin round noodles. The broth was creamy and had a hint of chicken flavor but even adding several rounds of their soy sauce/salt seasoning they have on the side to adjust your broth to your liking-- I found that the richness of the soup was not what I had expected from the reviews that I read prior to coming here. Overall, a bit disappointed in the flavoring of the broth but maybe we came on an off day. I would be willing to give it a shot again in the future if I had ramen cravings and given that it was very affordable ($11-15 per bowl with tip), but I would probably opt to try another place first.

    Review #3 for 2026 I…read morereally wanted to like this place. I watched many videos and read reviews before coming here, but it just did not hit the spot. After a cold day of exploring Stanley Park, we felt that ramen would really hit the spot, so we went here not wanting to deal with a wait at Danbo with a hungry and tired toddler. There was NO wait when we arrived here and we were seated immediately... which for a place that was really hyped up, should had made us think twice. There was only 1 other party at the restaurant. Now, the workers were super nice and the food came out quickly and we did eat everything because we were starving. We all ordered the cha-shu tamago ramen, 2 of us got spicy and 2 of us non-spicy. It came with extra chashu and the soft boiled egg for about $20 Canadian. The bowl was a good size and there was a promo for free extra noodles while we were there. Everyone except me in our group took advantage of it because I was too full from my bowl. Now, the broth here is different from other places because it is chicken based and not pork based. Everything I had seen about this place promised the broth is every bit just as good as the pork bone broth... however, the broth we received looked flavorful, but was bland. It was completely bland. There was no richness to it, not even a hint. I don't know, coming from southern California, the flavor just was not there period. We did all eat our food because we were starving, but it for sure did not hit the spot at all. Maybe we got an off day? Otherwise our broth had literally zero flavor to it. We all wished we had tried the other ramen place instead right after trying our ramen. Would I come back? I will have to say definitely no. We do not live in Vancouver and I do not want to waste any meals on a place that did not taste good the first time we went.

I ordered the beef noodle soup, and the noodles were prepared well (good texture and not soggy) and the soup had a slight but not overwhelm sour taste from the preserved vegetables. The beef wasn't as tender as it could be, but it wasn't chewy or tough to eat. Prices are reasonable at around $20 after tax and tips. While it wasn't the best or most authentic beef noodle soup I've had, it does hit the spot if I'm craving Taiwanese food downtown or want a hot bowl of noodle soup on a cold day.

I think most people do that so it also gets filled up during the lunch hour rush. The food is ok, nothing special. The price increase makes it even less appealing. I don't know why there is chili in my Taiwanese beef noodle soup. I don't like spicy soup. Lucky I am ok with spice but I wish it is stated in the menu? So if you cannot take spicy food, check with them before ordering. The beef noodle soup is tasty as I do like the addition of pickled vegetables in it, giving a bit of tartness. The beef is tender though the quantity is very little. More noodles than meat ratio. The combo is totally not worth it now that the price has gone up to about $13. If you want rice and noodle for lunch, I think Peaceful Restaurant across the street is a better bet. At least the portion is bigger.
