My Fav Vietnamese Dishes and Where Are They?

Whenever I go with my friends they always want to know where the best Vietnamese places are. To me, there's no best place for all Vietnamese dishes. Most places will have everything, but I will find a particular place to be REALLY good with one dish and that's why I will go there. So this is for Vancouver!

Best Chicken Pho in Vancouver. Its well-known among all the Vietnamese people too. Don't be fooled by how small and secluded it is.

You'll notice how clear the soup is and after the first sip you know you're in for a great lunch. Good Pho has clean…More »

There's only one reason I come here and that's for Bun Bo Hue (beef and pig's knuckle rice vermicelli spicy soup). My second favorite Vietnamese dish as I love eating spicy. And this place hands down makes the best spicy broth.

Like everyone…More »

Sandwiches! Nuff said. One of the best because of their very fresh and limited bread. They'll usually sell out before the lunch hour is done.

I like my french bread to be warm and not too crunchy or too soft, just right. Ever chew through soft french…More »

Me & My Hot Pots (6)

I love hot pot. I love the spicy soup. I love the fresh slices of beef and lamb. I love fresh spinach, tong-ho and watercress. I love my dipping sauce when its mixed with a raw egg. Where do I usually go for hot pot an don't go?
