Triple Coconut Tree Restaurant — Restaurant in Burnaby

OMG!!! Repugnant! How can a place like this stay in business. I've had Vietnamese food in Houston,Tx, Shanghai, China, Miami, FL, even a little place like Arcadia, Ca. and many other places and I've never had such terrible food! I had the beef short ribs with an egg. I couldn't believe what they passed off as "Great Vietnamese food". I knew there was something wrong when they put the food in front of me. The short ribs were fried and greasy, not grilled. All the other places I've been to, grilled the ribs. I ate the egg and got the waitress to throw the rest away. It's not fit for human consumption. Maybe for dogs it's ok but not for me. Either the great google reviews was done by the owners kids or wife but it couldn't have been real customers. You can't even leave a review on Google Reviews and I know why now. With all the Asians living in Burnaby, I thought most Asian restaurants will be pretty good here. Man, was I mistaken. My shadow will never darken their entrance ever again. I paid for the meal and and told the waitress what I think. SIGH! I can't believe that the Asian Restaurants in Texas are better than in the Lower Mainland. It's unbelievable that those cowboys in Tx. has better Asian...

I’ve tried all pho place around Hastings, and this one is a NO GO. Big portion but doesn’t taste authentic, rice pork tastes more like Japanese teriyaki and the soup was too sweet. I appreciate how fast the food was prepared but it doesn’t tastes like its freshly cook. I recommend going to Pho Pasteur for a cheaper and more authentic Vietnamese food (but slightly smaller portion) or H&P noodle house for a better quality within the same price range (same big portion). We came after dinner time on a weekday, place was empty, only us and another table. Service was bad, didn’t refill the water and the lady rush us to pay right after we done eating. I ordered the combo menu and can’t finish it, so I asked if I can take the spring roll to go and she was giving me attitude like it’s a lot to ask. Even tho the place was kinda messy, I still gave them tips as it’s a small business but would never come back and won’t recommend! Ps. I read reviews before coming here, and I don’t understand where this “authentic pho place”...

We finally went ahead to give this place a try today. Especially because of their Sunday special menu, Kaho Piek Sien. It's rare to see a Laos special food, so we were excited to try. And the flavour of KPS was amazing. It's a subtle, savory yet rich flavour. Nothing like loaded with spice, but it's rich and established taste in broth. And the texture of the noodle is springy without being over chewy. Add almost crunchy Chinese donut to the soup to let it become ever so slightly soft to soak up this broth.

Value is amazing. Need to mention is also bahnmi order with 4 spring rolls AND a can of a drink.

Service is sweet. You can feel the family history and the love.

A new gem in the neighborhood. A nice addition to the community. Not to mention the family owners are so sweet. I wish for their success and long stay.

Needless to say we'll br making more return trips to here. We want to experience more...
