    Unforgettable dinning experience with Nén! Tried most of their fried dishes!! We got NÉN special platter $27.75 - love the diversity of meat, veggies and meat options! Also like a DIY for ourself to mix and match our own way:) Matcha flight $14.5 - definitely worth to try if you coming with your friends and family! Each of the flavour are delicious and perfect match with all our choice of food!! Beef carpaccio $22.25 - 10/10! With their special sauce, brings back all my memories! Butter garlic chicken wings $16.25 - large portion when you look at the price! The gave you full wings! Spring rolls $10.5 - a lot of different ingredients and it's different from the other stores!

    Been seeing quite a few new Vietnamese restaurants popping around everyup corner and Nen was amongst one I was really looking forests to try! The restaurant is tucked in a small complex Burnaby with parking lot which was convenient. We arrived for dinner before the dinner rush and was lucky to grab a table pretty quickly. We ordered the crispy spring roll, mi quang chicken, and nen special pho. We really liked the spring roll because it has very unique crispy outer layer that wraps the spring roll wrapper that makes it extra crispy! The mi quang chicken was not my favourite. It is a chicken stew with curry like spice but I did find it a bit bland in flavour and they missed the crispy sesame crackers in my platter. The nen special pho was very flavourful and that large back rib sure was a highlight and surprisingly meaty. The dishes were a bit slow to arrive but the staffs were very friendly and did let is know the kitchen is still a bit new. I would come again to try out their other menu items and da nang flight in particular!

    Authentic northern Vietnamese restaurant by Edmonds. The rib pho was good and the meats were tender. My favorite was the grilled meat platter, portions were generous and delicious. They have chili sauce that is homemade is very spicy and perfect for those who like to add it with their meals.

    We got the Nen special platter, butter garlic chicken wings, shrimp papaya salad, Mi quang shrimp noodle soup (without pork), and Matcha flight with ube, salted, and two matchas. The special platter wasn't what I expected. It came with fresh ingredients, such as lettuce, basil, mint, and pickled veggies. I liked that it came with chicken, pork, and beef. The chicken was overcooked, but the pork and beef were tender and tasty. We had to check on when the chicken wings were coming twice. We were pretty much done eating and they still hadn't come. When it finally did, it was the most disappointing part of our meal. The wings had a very mild garlic butter flavor and I found that it wasn't consistent throughout. The shrimp papaya salad was good, but the shrimp was not deveined and it was overcooked. The Mi quang shrimp noodle soup was very different from anything that I have ever had before. The broth was super flavorful. One thing we didn't like about the dish was that the shrimp had the shells still on them. I feel like this took away from the dish and just felt lazy. The matcha flight was good, but could have used a touch more sugar. The ube was my favorite and then the salted one was my second favorite. 3.5 stars

    First time trying this restaurant out. They serve the DaNang style pho which is the skinnier noodles and more fish sauce flavour. The pork hock wasn't cut up and I had to awkwardly eat around it.

    Yummy delicious food that sent me right into a food nap afterwards! Tried their classic beef pho and it was packed with protein toppings! Had it with a side of 4 mini coffees via their coffee flights for a caffeine boost!

    Stopped by on Saturday at noon. Waited 45 mins for a table for four. Food arrived promptly but it was a little smaller than I expected at the price point. The bun bo wasn't very flavorful - I ended up adding a lot of chili oil to it. The matcha flight was cute but not much matcha flavor. Enjoyed the cold foams though. Felt quite sleepy after the meal.

    Great place that opened up in a strip mall on Canada Way and Edmonds. They are in soft opening so still ironing out the kinks. The menu is quite extensive with a nice variety of Vietnamese dishes. Congratulations and all the best.

    Nén Vietnamese Cuisine, located on Canada Way, is Burnaby's newest Vietnamese restaurant, specializing in home-style central Vietnamese cuisine. They are currently offering a grand opening month promotion: a 15% discount on all purchases made between December 29, 2025, and January 29, 2026! The food is delicious, but some dishes are on the pricier side. The free open-air parking lot shared by businesses in front of the restaurant is insufficient, and its location at a major intersection makes it a no-parking zone, requiring customers to drive further into the back streets to find parking, which is extremely inconvenient.

    Service was exceptional. #8 was so so good. Nice variety of hot sauces on the table as well. Spring rolls were very crispy and delicious. More authentic style than other places. Amazing.

    See all

    Food was excellent! I enjoyed it. Service was prompt. Perhaps they could lower the volume of the background music.

    I don't usually go to Kingsway nearby Metrotown for foods but this time I felt like having lunch…read moreoutside rather than eating in food court. I searched for Vietnamese cafe and I found this place. They have pretty good reviews. I went there with my wife and we ordered grilled half pork and half chicken on rice and pho. This foods didn't disappointed us. I was surprised the broth of the pho was gracefully rich and tasty. The beef balls had natural beef taste. The grilled pork and chicken were having a nice smoked flavour but not burnt. Well done! The owner was there serving the customers and he is friendly and welcoming. At one moment the sunlight came in from the window he immediately went to pull down the bind so the customers won't get the sunlight directly into their eyes. He kept serving tea and refilled frequently. I'm happy with their service. In terms of foods and service quality, this is a place I will definitely return.

    Tasty Vietnamese place across from Metropolis…read more Parking is available on the side streets. There are also paid spots on Kingsway. The place is pretty cozy. There are maybe 30 seats inside. Seating can be a bit tight. Staff are friendly. No complaints. The pho is pretty decent. Beef slices and beef balls are decent. Served in clear broth with onions and cilantro. The bean sprouts are buried at the bottom of the bowl, not served on top. Not sure if this means the volume of food is reduced. Overall quality is decent. The other dishes here look pretty good too. Guess I'm coming back at some point.

The potion for the large bowl is HUGE. I almost finished (but that's another story!). The bowl of noodle soup came to the table steaming which I loved. The bean sprouts were lightly blanched and still warm. The taste was actually very good. They managed to keep size and flavour in one. I had the #1 House Special (Rice Noodle Soup With Rare Steak, Brisket, Fatty Flank, Tendon, Tripe and Beef) and my friend had the Vermicelli Noodle bowl of Lemon Grass Chicken with Minced Pork-the chicken was moist and tender and enjoyed a lot. Chicken was seasoned and grilled perfectly. The restaurant is big but not fancy. You come to eat and then go. Service was good as they came by to fill our tea pot and check if all was fine. Will be back!

We walked in around 5 ish and there were 2 other tables occupied. I got the beef brisket, flank and rare beef pho and B got the beef brisket and rare beef pho. We both got a large and was amazed at how big the portion was. Their bowls are known to be huge and they sure live up to the name. The pho soup was delicious. They were also very generous on the meat portion. The restaurant gets busier at night time. They are open till quite late. One other thing that B and I really liked was their tea. The decor of the restaurant is average. The restaurant was pretty clean and modern when we went. Also they do have lots of tables.

    24/7 Spot along Kingsway - personally think it's better then the other 24/7 Pho/Vietnamese food…read morespots available in the area - however it's nothing to write home about - They have small - slightly awkward parking area along the side of the restaurant - you might find it easier to park along the side streets Servers here are honestly not attentive - they do not check on you what so ever - they'll drop off your tea/water if your lucky and then vanish until you wave them down - and then chase them down to pay your bill. Don't recall hearing any music while being here - however one time they had a staff member literally sleeping on one of the table booths - and you could hear them snoring. - not exactly the vibe you'd expect , however it was a late night adventure. There Fish sauce here is very very weak - I found it nearly tasteless , almost watery - and you'd need to use excessive amounts. Food Quality varies here - sometimes very tasty - other times you have regrets. - The vermicelli bowls are pretty safe, however again hit or miss with the marinated meat quality and quantity -

Being that they are in a freestanding building, they have their own free parking. Its been so long that we dined in anywhere so this may be a factor in my rating. Ordered my standards here. Super fast service, large portions (tho the 3 shrimp was a tad skimpy) and reasonable prices. Fresh fruit smoothies that weren't too sweet. It was comforting and a quiet time, which we enjoyed.
