Hủ Tiếu Hồng Phát (Hồng Phát Vancouver) — Restaurant in Vancouver

This new Vietnamese restaurant is a must-try! They have a limited menu, but they do all of their dishes very well! We came in on a weekday around 6pm, we were very surprised that there were still tables available, but the restaurant quickly filled up at around 7pm.

We ordered: Mì Đồ Biển (Nước) - Seafood Egg Noodles in SOUP Mì Nam Vang (Khô) - Egg Noodle DRY Mì Vịt Tiềm - Braised Duck Leg with Egg Noodles Chả Giò - Spring Rolls Cafe sữa đá pha sẵn - Shaken ice coffee with condensed milk and the owner(?) had given us an extra side beef bone on the side, which was also so flavourful and appreciated!

Food: All of the items were well made, super flavourful and presented beautifully, I enjoyed the Vietnamese text on all the plates.

The Seafood Egg Noodle Soup was super nostalgic for me, it took me back to those mom/pop shops that used to exist back in the day. The broth was super tasty, clear and not too fishy. I just loved that they included quail egg and pork blood which you really don't see that often anymore!

I was told the Dry Noodle was a little bit on the salty side, but the broth on the side really helped to wash it down. In addition, the minced pork found in the dish was seasoned perfectly (I found this to be true in my Seafood Noodle Soup as well), which is not common for minced meats found in Vietnamese dishes as most other places are very bland.

The Duck Leg Noodles was also really good, if you like Duck, you'll love this dish! The flavour was very rich and very deep, and the Duck leg was also super moist on the inside and super crispy on the outside!

The spring rolls were super crispy and tasty, and were appropriately sized! Albeit on the oily side.

The Shaken Vietnamese Coffee was also one of the best Vietnamese coffees I've had in a while! The flavour was strong with a bit of nutty/chocolatey aftertaste which is exactly what you're looking for in a good Vietnamese coffee!

Ambience + Pricing: Ambience-wise, they did a very good job of mixing classic with modern without making it too trendy. And the cherry on top of everything is that this restaurant does NOT smell! It is too common nowadays when dining at Vietnamese restaurants, you leave with the smell of broth, beef and onions clinging onto your clothes/hair for dear life, so (imo) it's really great that you don't get that here!

I personally thought that the prices were fair taking into consideration the cost of food nowadays and the quality of the food at this restaurant , but I wouldn't be surprised if some were to say it were a bit pricey for the neighbourhood. I definitely wouldn't compare this place to restaurants like Pho Hoa ($) or Anh + Chi ($$$), this place has created a whole new category for itself, in a good way! :)

10/10 would recommend you come here, we definitely will be to try out the...

Restaurant Review: Hồng Phát - Authentic Vietnamese Delights in Vancouver

If you're in Vancouver and craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine, look no further than Hồng Phát. This restaurant has quickly become my go-to spot for a taste of Vietnam, and it's no surprise why.

First and foremost, their Mì Hoành Thánh Xá Xíu (Wonton Noodle Soup with Char-Siu) is hands down the best you'll find in the city. The broth is rich, savory, and full of depth, perfectly complementing the tender char-siu and delicate wontons. It's a dish that warms the soul and keeps you coming back for more.

But that's not all. Hồng Phát also serves some of the top Chả Giò (Spring Rolls) in Vancouver. Crispy on the outside and bursting with flavor on the inside, these spring rolls are a must-try. They're easily in the top three in the city, and once you've had them, you'll understand why.

And then there's the Hủ Tiếu Nam Vang Đồ Biển Khô (Phnom Penh Style Seafood Rice Noodle, dry version). This dish is truly the best of the best. The combination of fresh seafood, perfectly cooked noodles, and the aromatic sauce creates a symphony of flavors that is simply unmatched. It's a dish that showcases the restaurant's commitment to authenticity and quality. What makes Hồng Phát even more special is its roots, franchised from Ho Chi Minh City, ensuring an authentic taste of Vietnam. Whether you're ordering through DoorDash or Uber Eats, the quality remains exceptional, but I can only imagine how much better it would be to dine in. The atmosphere is inviting, and I can’t wait for the chance to enjoy these delicious dishes right at the restaurant.

Hồng Phát's commitment to bringing the flavors of Ho Chi Minh City to Vancouver shines through in every bite. Even though I've only experienced their dishes through DoorDash and Uber Eats, I can't wait to dine in and savor these incredible dishes fresh from the kitchen. If they taste this good delivered, I can only imagine how amazing they are in person.

In short, Hồng Phát is a gem in Vancouver's culinary scene, offering authentic Vietnamese cuisine at its best. Whether you're a fan of Wonton Noodle Soup, Spring Rolls, or Seafood Rice Noodles, this is the place to be. Don't miss out on this culinary journey – it's a taste of Vietnam that you won't...

Hu Tieu Hong Phat really impressed me with both the quality and authenticity of its dishes, especially their signature hu tieu.

We ordered the original hu tieu soup version, salted fried chicken wings, fried chicken wings with fish sauce, and cha gio (spring rolls).

The fried chicken wings were excellent across the board—crispy, juicy, and well-seasoned. I’d recommend both versions. The salted wings are straightforward and delicious, while the fish sauce wings carry a bold fermented aroma and flavor. It’s worth noting that this isn’t the diluted dipping-style fish sauce you get with spring rolls—this is the pure, concentrated version. If you enjoy that punchy fermented note, you’ll love them. If not, stick to the salted version.

The cha gio (spring rolls) were decent, but not really my preference. Instead of the usual fillings, these came with taro, giving them a denser, starchier texture. If you like that consistency, you’ll probably enjoy them more than I did.

The star here is absolutely the special hu tieu. This Cambodian-style rice noodle soup is rich in umami and comes with an array of toppings—minced pork, pork heart, liver, lard, blood cake, and quail eggs. If you’re comfortable with organ meats, you’ll find this deeply satisfying, as each bite adds a new layer of flavor and texture. If organs aren’t your thing, they also have variations with seafood and other toppings. The broth itself is outstanding: savory, fragrant, and completely distinct from its Vietnamese pho neighbor.

Having visited Cambodia not long ago and tried hu tieu there, I can say Hong Phat’s version is the closest I’ve found in Vancouver—if not exactly the same. It really brought back memories of authentic Cambodian flavors. Highly recommended.

(And just to add a note: Phnom Penh’s so-called “Phnom Penh rice noodle” isn’t authentic Cambodian hu tieu at all. If you go there, stick to their beef luc lac instead. For real hu tieu, Hong Phat...
