Local favourite, Bun Cha Ca Hoang Yen is Vancouver’s go-to spot for Vietnamese fare. The phở bò here is a staple, but its seafood- based soups or Hu Tieu (Special Rice Noodle) are really the star. From the special fish cake and vermicelli to the special crab soup, you will not be disappointed with any bowl of soup from Bun Cha Ca Hoang Yen.

Ask a Vancouver-based pho lover if they would wait in the line outside Mr. Red’s Hasting’s location for a hot bowl of pho, and I can guarantee they would say yes. This small spot with friendly staff and mouth-watering Vietnamese fare is not only beloved by locals but constantly packed with them too. Owners Rose Nguyen and Hong Duong (who is also the chef) are pumping out Northern Vietnamese cuisine, including their organic Bun Bo Mr Red — a Hue-style spicy beef noodle soup with assorted beef and pork that you’ll have once and crave forever.

With a great selection of options, like the special Pho Dac Biet, featuring all the classic meats cooked to perfection, along with a slew of other different combinations, Le Petit Saigon will keep you coming to try each and every one.
