A Taste Of Vietnam — Restaurant in Vancouver

Lemon Grass Chicken on Rice

I have had this dish from many different places and I make it on my own every once in a while. I ordered this dish twice. The first time was takeout. The 2nd time I ate in.

The first time was ok but not great.

The 2nd time however, the chicken I ordered didn't taste right. After the first bite into the chicken, I stopped eating immediately and asked the server to take it back.

I understand that sometimes things happen and things can turn "sour" (pun intended!). The server took the plate behind the counter and brought it back after a few minutes. She claimed that she tasted the meat and said that the meat was fine. Further claiming that they sell a lot of this dish and marinade their meat everyday. Therefore rejecting my idea that maybe that piece of chicken was at the bottom of the marinade bin. For the next 10+ minutes, she just left the plate there and completely ignored me while I watched my friend finished her pho. Evenutally, they took it back and offered to take my order for something else.

I was shocked to see how...

Wow, the recent poster is spot on, the chicken vermicelli with spring roll is absolutely fantastic, just wow. Ordered tonight, and Could be the best ive had in the city, almost reminds me of this hole in the wall off Cambie 15 years ago thats since gone that was a 24 hour spot, but this is way better. Super fresh, not greasy, supppper tasty, chicken super juicy, veggies fresh and crisp, spring roll is just crunchy and mega tasty. When it comes to the chicken vermicelli spring roll, just give it a try. And the price is on point. Seriously, try it, with extra fish sauce. If you dont like it you simply dont like this dish or dont have taste buds. I am a non drinker, non smoker, amateur home chef who loves this dish, so I know my tastes, and no restaurant been hitting so far recently in years when it comes to this dish. Make sure you have fish sauce, siracha, and hoison at the ready if you like. I cant speak for the rest of the menu because I only order this dish, but WOW, guys keep this quality up and im going to order again,...

I have been eating here since 2015 and always my top pick when in the area. The first feeling I get is that it's a place that is made of love and care. The place has a quaint, homey and comforting look, painted an unique purple on the outside and traditionally decorated inside. Normally, she will be in the back cooking so it may look like no one's there, but Van (the owner) is friendly, warm and welcoming when she sees you. She wants to share her culinary culture with others, and she made all her food from scratch without artificial ingredients. I am always able to enjoy her vegetarian options (and she has expanded her vegetarian and vegan choices), knowing it's clean and lovingly prepared to nourish your body and soul. I love her veggie noodle soup and always taste the flavours of fresh herbs, vegetable and spices. Last time, I tried taro cake and it was out of this world. It might take some time for them to make it but that's when you see how much details and care they put...
