Thiên An is a great restaurant for Vietnamese cuisine. The service is fast and friendly, and the food is really delicious! I ordered a chicken, shrimp and spring roll vermicelli bowl. I really liked the flavour of the grilled chicken and the vegetables were really fresh. I will be returning soon to try more dishes!
We ate inside rather than doing take out. It is a clean and pleasant place. Server was friendly and fast. Food was great. My friend had a vermicelli bowl which she quite enjoyed. I had the Singapore noodles which were flavourful. The spring rolls were crunchy and pleasant . The portions were huge! Great favourite.
Brought hubs here for an early Father's Day lunch after reading fabulous reviews. Loved the vibe and layout from the moment we entered. The playful black and white checkered ceiling tiles kept me smiling throughout the meal. The staff were friendly and attentive. I liked that the water automatically had lemon in it (hubs did not, oops). We opted to try the grilled lemongrass beef salad rolls to start - yum! I ordered the combo Bun Vermicelli bowl since I'm a vermicelli girl by nature. I really liked the fried onions sprinkles on top. Unfortunately I did not like the shrimp/fish cake. I'm a DIE HARD Golden Bird Vermicelli girl so it's hard to improve upon that. Hubs tried the Vietnamese Style Soup. The flavour was great - but admittedly we were a bit squeamish with the fat/tendons. Both of us thought the mains were lacking in meat considering the prices. I ordered a Vietnamese Iced Coffee to go that was perfect! All in all, really liked Thien An and will definitely be back and next time I'll ask the server for recommendations of what they're favourite dishes are. Clean, bright, and playful atmosphere - perfect for a Vietnamese Newbie that might be a bit shy in China Town. See you soon Thien An, see you soon!
One of our go to place for Vietnamese resto. I'm here for the grilled pork and fried rice tonight. Yum!!
Service was prompt and attentive. Food was quickly served and tasty. Environment is quite subdued.
Thien An is a new Vietnamese restaurant to open us in this neck of the woods. Not much is in this area except we did pass Pho & Bun a few blocks west on the way back home. There's plenty of room to park and they even have a lot in the back. We came on a late Monday afternoon so there were only a few tables occupied. The inside is new and quite spacious. The menu is massive but the southern Vietnamese soup (hu tiu mi) and beef stew (bo kho) caught my eye. - Fresh salad roll with tofu (V2) ($6.00 for four) - these were nicely done. Slightly warmed, freshly made and with a good peanut dipping sauce. - Veggie noodle soup (V9) ($10.50) - O's converted to partial vegetarianism so it was veggie soup for her. She liked the broth and it looked like a satisfactory amount of tofu, vegetables and noodles. - Hu tieu nam vang (H2) ($13.00) - smelled great. You choose either egg noodles or rice noodles. I asked about it and you actually can get a mix, so I tried both. You get a variety of meat (beef, shrimp, squid and ground pork) but a bit more meat and noodles would justify the higher price point. That being said, the broth was solid and had a sweetness to it similar to what you find in a wonton/egg noodle soup. What I found interesting was the shape of their bowls. The top part of the bowl forms into a square shape. Odd. Good first experience. I'd come back to try their bo koh and other pho options. 3.5 stars.
I was in the Forest Heights area on business and stopped in here for lunch. The place is large and beautiful, and the staff wonderful. The menu has an extensive selection of Vietnamese and other Asian dishes like soup, noodle bowls, stir fry, and a selection of vegetarian items. I went with the tofu pad thai. The portion was huge, it was flavourful without being too spicy, and there was a lot of tofu. I also ordered two veggie spring rolls on the side, which were crispy and fresh. My friend was not happy with his peach shrimp - he said they were fried shrimp covered in mayonnaise, with canned peaches on the side. He also did not like or finish his chicken stir fry, as the chicken had an odd texture - kind of soft and rubbery. I would come here again to try something Vietnamese like pho or a vermicelli bowl, but perhaps stay away from anything with chicken in it.
This is our go to vietnamese restaurant for lunch (from work)... so needless to say, my coworkers and I go there often. This place has always had super friendly and accommodating service when we have gone in. Their prices are pretty average but the quality of food is better than a lot of other places in the area or even in the city. They have a fairly typical menu with all the normal tasty vietnamese dishes (soups rice noodle bowls, stirfries, grilled meat salads, salad rolls, etc) and a decently large vegetarian selection. I would definitely recommend the sate peanut soup - delicious with a little bit of spicy. So perfect for a cold day or if maybe you have had a bit too much to drink the night before. I wish this place was actually closer to my home cause I would probably make it one of my go to Vietnamese places but I will settle for it being a nice treat on a work day.
Decided to try a new place and ended up finding this hidden gem! We had the combo platter to start and then I had the curry chicken as my main.. now I wasn't expecting it to be a soup but it was sure amazing! And my rice came out in a heart shape too, so cute! I ended up cutting my meal short as I saw the deep fried ice cream on the dessert menu and could not pass it up and I man I was not disappointed. Everything was very good and the staff was super friendly. I will be back for sure
Decided to finally check out Thien An tonight after driving past about a hundred times. Happy to report that it did live up to the hype. A modern and sleep interior with fancy lighting, checker board ceiling and plants galore. It was roomy and even the chairs were fancy leather seating but the do offer booster seats for those dining with kids. They also have two large TVs, one at each end of the room, so you can watch the Oilers at the same time! My group ordered the appetizer combo which came with spring rolls, shrimp rolls, shrimp cake and veg rolls. I'm not usually into veg rolls but these tasted great with the satay dip on the side. We shared pork fried rice, ginger beef and combination Pad Thai. They were all tasty but the pork fried rice was extremely good. Friendly service, great food, loads of left overs and free parking. Oh yeah!
The decor is very nice, I particularly like the square pane door and the checkerboard ceiling. There is lots of parking out front and a fence to lock your bikes to in front of the windows. My server was quick and friendly and my food came out in under five minutes; if you're on a short lunch this would be a great spot to stop. I had the grilled pork and spring roll vermicelli. I was a little put off because the noodles they use are more like spaghetti then vermicelli but the flavour was wonderful so I can overlook it. The pork was grilled perfectly, the spring roll was delicious,and the portion was huge. I'll definitely be back.
If you follow any of my reviews, you know pho is my favourite food and I eat a lot it lol. Imagine my delight to see this restaurant opening up literally at the end of my block! We noticed they finally were open and popped in for lunch. It was busy and the servers were new, but very friendly and very attentive! I ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee which is premade for you. Maybe a little too sweet doe my liking, but it can always be touch and go. We ordered the shrimp cakes and spring rolls to start. The spring rolls were very large! Great potion size doe the price! I'd never had shrimp cakes before. I was thinking they might be crispy but they weren't - more of an omelette texture. My husband didn't like it but I thought it was tasty and an interesting texture. For the main course, I ordered the P6 Pho. Tripe, tendon, rare beef in a flavourful broth. It was delicious! The large is a little smaller than other places, but the price was right! I prefer my broth spicy and the server was happy to bring me out a little jar of chili oil. My husband ordered the beef on rice and he said was absolutely delicious and seemed to be a good sized portion. I will be back. A lot!
Mini Special Appetizer and Rare Beef, Brisket, Tendon & Tripe Noodle Soup Thien An is a fairly new pho place in the Capilano area. Wasn't too hungry but had to try this mini special appetizer that had one of everything on the appetizer list. It had a spring roll, salad roll, shrimp cake, and a torpedo shrimp. Surprisingly decent spring roll, and even tastier torpedo shrimp because it had cream cheese i think between the shrimp and wrapper. The pho wasn't bad, not great, but it was standard pho. Big bowl at a standard price. They also serve banh mi's here which is a rarity for most pho place, but it's nice that they offer. Located on 101 ave and 73st, it's a nice clean restaurant with quick service. Try all the appetizers if you're in the area and maybe a banh mi for takeout. Sal says: Just Try It Erik says: I probably wouldn't go there unless I lived in the area.

The fresh spring roll with grilled pork was delicious. I really liked that the peanut dipping sauce that came with it was served warm. So good. For mains, I tried the house special pho and vermicelli bowl. Both were quite good, especially the grilled meat in the vermicelli bowl. However, I found some slices of beef in the pho to be a tad tough. The avocado shake is pretty decent as well. Restaurant looks super clean and service was excellent. I'll be back! read more

New Vietnamese restaurant has opened up near my place so decided to check it out on a Saturday night. I ordered the Thien An Noodle Soup special. Very flavourful and generous portion given. My girlfriend ordered the Chicken Curry and it was splendid as well. Nothing but good things to say about this place. Taste much better than Pho Boy (another place that just open up). read more

New restaurant..beautiful and modern inside. Very courteous, friendly service. We were seated quickly and our food came right away. Customer service was first rate. Food is EXCELLENT and great prices! For appys we got spring rolls, torpedo shrimp, fried squid (calamari)..For mains we ordered the beef stir fry with crispy noodles (my fav!), seafood pad Thai, BBQ short ribs and fried rice. You cannot go wrong with your order, everything is delicious!! It was a full house when we were there at 5:30pm on a Sunday. I'd recommend making a reservation for weekend nights (Fri/Sat). read more

We were seated quickly on a busy Friday evening in this quaint restaurant that is conveniently located just off 101 Ave. The interior is clean and modern and the staff were quick to offer us water and tea for no charge. The beef pho has a very flavourful broth with a good portion of both beef and noodles. It came with a large side plate of bean sprouts and Thai basil to add as you wish. It was very tasty and still a fairly light soup. The pork and shrimp cake was also a large portion that was a balanced combination of fresh vegetables, rice noodles and fried meats. read more

We went on a Tuesday night. The restaurant was empty which threw me of a bit. The restaurant was super clean and it was nicely decorated. We ordered the rare beef and beef ball pho, the well done beef and beef ball soup and we had deep fried squid to start. The soup broth was good, not the best I've tasted but not the worst. The squid was quite good, the flavour was great! The only thing I would have like is if it where deep fried a bit longer. The main reason I am giving a 4 star is that the restaurant is very very clean and the decor is much nicer than other Vietnamese food places. I will be back to try their vermicelli bowls that look great! read more
