Highly recommend especially if you’re vegan, but even if you’re not, I swear the food taste exactly like meat and chicken.... the massive bonus is very delicious. I was recommended by a vegan friend. It was a bit far for me, but it’s definitely worth the drive. Uyen was so kind and helpful...5 star vip service!!!! Do yourself a favour and check it out... I promise you won’t regret i!!!

Incredible find ! we’re in Vancouver BC and wanted some pho, and found the Tina Vietnamese here on google, and were sold right away - not often you can find a fully vegan vietnamese restaurant and being vegetarians both hubby and i appreciated the comfort of knowing what’s in your food 🙏🏼 From the atmosphere and friendliest service, to the most delicious flavorful vegan pho ever - everything was top notch and i’m already looking forward to coming back to Vancouver just for this! If you love pho, even if you’re not vegetarian, do give it a try - highly recommended! Spicy vegan beef pho was especially good, as were deepfried spring rolls and the other vegan seafood pho 😋

Amazing vegan food! The portions are quite considerable. Service was friendly but very slow. It took near 15 mins to get my bill and pay? They definitely need extra staff to get people out at a reasonable time.

Very cozy environment and friendly staff- very positive experience. The food was quite tasty- both had vegan pho. I liked the mock beef slices and extras like the vegan balls. A decent amount of veggies and lots of rice noodles and yummy broth in my spicy vegan bowl. Can't wait to try the salad rolls. Very appreciative of the variety of vegan option🙏

After watching google reviews I visited Tina Vietnamese Cuisine for the first time and tried their Tofu California Salad Rolls. To my surprise they were the best and their peanut dipping sauce is cherry on the cake as it adds flavours to the cuisine. Can t wait to try their other delicacies. Vegetarian options: You can get vegan options available here.

September 22, 2024

The mock meat was ok some were tastier than others but there was practically no noodles in the pho and fried noodle chow Mein king oyster dish + too many carrot to noodle ratio. I think the bbq mock meat tasted the best and I d give it a 8/10 for its taste. Maybe they ll add a mock meat marinated with maple syrup and or low calorie syrup in the future. Some like the pho and chow mein here while doesn t hate it due to the cilantro, lack of mock meat, lack of noodles and or dislike the sauce used for the chow mein. The peanut sauce with the lemon grass mock chicken was very very tasty slightly spicy but the server didn t ask which sauce would you like and gave peanut sauce by default Affordable which is really nice for non wealthy ppl who want some tasty food that s good for the environment

Well deserved, 5 of 5 stars for this fabulous hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese spot. Everytime Im staying close-by in Vancouver, I make a point to have a meal here. The portions are very generous and reasonable for the prices. The server was so polite and when she noticed that we ( my girlfriend and I) had been sharing an appetizer, she proceeded to bring extra p about sauce for our salad rolls so that we could both have dipping sauce. 99% vegan food menu (non-veg options labelled) and you can throw a dart on theenu and not miss. There are so many delicious and interesting options to choose from. Sweet to savory, spicy and lots of authentic Vietnamese flavours. Ordered: Lemongrass Bahn mi, pho, BBQ salad rolls, spring rolls

If you have allergies, do not eat here. This restaurant has no problem subjecting their guests to allergens despite our clear communication about my gluten allergy. When I notified the server of my allergy, they expressed frustration and didn t take the time to properly inform me on what was safe to eat. The menu does not say what has or doesn t have gluten, so we asked for options. The server mentioned that the meats are not gluten free but I could have all the other options. So we ordered some dishes with the meats on the side, and turned out that both our dishes had gluten, the vegan chicken was in the dish (not on the side) and the other one had noodles which it didn t say in the menu. Zero attention to our needs and the server was not even interested in accommodating us. Terrible for people with allergies or special diets. I had an allergic reaction and now will be dealing with illness, hives and swelling. The server even had the audacity to say that there was nothing they could do because the management was already mad at her.

horrible experience. the server didnt care about our allergy needs. they were dismissive and guaranteed that certain things were safe. my partner ended up having an allergic reaction at the restaurant even though the server said that the dish was gluten free. this is majorly concerning in regards to food contaminants and care for customer safety.

We first came here for dinner for our first summer trip to Canada; The restaurant was close to the hotel so we easily walked to it and walked around after the meal; We arrived late when the restaurant was almost closing. The waitress was very busy but cheerful. The waiter was also very friendly and chatted with us. The taste of the dish is very delicious.

Very random and fantastic find. Its a great cozy place for a hot bowl of pho during winter times. Really loved the rolls with the peanut sauce! The service was lovely and the price was reasonable as well. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegan options, which are also suitable for vegetarians.

May 22, 2024

I went there because the reviews were good, but for me it was the worst pho restaurant. Its a good idea. The banh mi sandwich was average, the rice noodles were overcooked and the portion was too small. The first spoonful had flies that looked like peppers and I couldnt eat them. I received plenty of apples, but had to check each bite afterwards. A restaurant that misses both the taste of the food and the cleanliness... This is my personal experience, so the choice is up to you.

I ve eaten here a few times and each experience is the same. It s an enjoyable time, their Vietnamese Sandwiches and Salad rolls are always the highlight of my visit. The Vietnamese Lemon Grass Chick n Sandwich reminds me of the real thing which I used to have almost every day before going vegan. It was defenetly a happy surprise to find that item. I m happy with their pricing, even though it recent went up, it only went up by 0.20$, hardly noticeable. The lack of Gluten Free options is my only reason for not wanting to visit much. And with it having already such limited GF options, I find it necessary to add symbols on the menu telling the customer which ones are GF. This V-Cafe could very easily be a Vegan cafe with very few menu changes which I do find irritating, yet they do list it on each item, there is always the worry of cross contamination.

Unassuming spot for Vietnamese eats thats conveniently close to the skytrain station! Had their vegan pho noodles soup dining in, and their vegan lemongrass chicken salad rolls to-go. The soup was fantastic with a good depth of flavour and hint of citrus. It tasted and looked very homey. I do wish there was more of the vegan protein, but for the price and overall taste, it cant be beat! The salad rolls were quite large in size for $8.50. I didnt take a picture, but it came with 2 rolls. The vegan chicken had a bit of a spice. Very good meal or supplement when shared! We found it tasted good warmed up the day after, although its best fresh. There was a bit of a language barrier with the server asking about gluten free options and substituting sauce for the salad rolls. However, service overall was wonderful and friendly. Ill be back and would highly recommend!

0/5 service. Workers were hidden in the kitchen chatting loudly and we had to speak quite loudly over the counter to get their attention and seat us. They are quite slow and forgetful. We asked for tea and they never brought it we had to help ourselves. They also forgot an order. Never checked on us ether. We even asked for more tea as it was out and it took so long for them we gave up waiting. 3.5/5 food. Overall tasty but relatively small portions for price in comparison to other Vietnamese restaurants. We ordered both rice dishes and noodle dishes and the noodle dishes are by far superior; we ordered three different ones and all were tasty. Would not recommend the lemongrass chicken rice platter. While it tastes fine, its not anything special or even house made. I have literally bought this same chicken from Safeway. For anyone who wants it, go look! The salad rolls and bahn mi were good. The strawberry smoothie is also not strawberry but some type of juice. You can taste the apple/pear base (think of berry flavoured Motts fruit snacks where they use apple and pear juice (even the colour is a full brown-pink). For 6 bucks thats not really acceptable. The mango smoothie does taste like mango and is good. I can see why this place is mainly takeout.

We both enjoyed it and commented on how fresh everything was. I can t believe I ve waited this long to visit being that I live and work close. It s very tasty and reasonable in price. The iced coffee is yummy too and a nice accent to the meal. Server was very nice! Overall, tasty vegetarian pho in a convenient location. Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie options!

I had an incompetent male server help me. I asked for hot coffee and waited for 15 minutes, which by the time came to me cold in a single-use plastic to-go cup which was also labeled not microwave-safe. I asked him to serve it to me again, and instead put the to-go cup of coffee in the microwave. When I called the male server out on it, he had a hard time understanding what I was saying, but eventually understood that I was dining in, so he simply transferred that coffee into a mug instead of making me a new one.

My first try and will be my last try as I m super disappointed with the food here. I ordered beef stew and spicy noodle via Uber. No bean sprout/basil/lime/sauce packets comes with my order. Nothing at all!! The taste was nothing special and toppings are mainly vegan/vegetarian things you can get from frozen section at T&T or Vietnamese supermarket. Description mentioned there is mushroom and veggies but none in my order, I only got a couple slices of tofu, vegan ham and vegan beef. I ve gone to many Vietnamese vegan resto and also have tried vegan food in temple/churches, by far, this place is the worst!

One of the best vegan Vietnamese restaurants in greater Vancouver. I dont live around the area but whenever Im in the neighborhood I make sure to stop by. The noodle soups are delicious if you have time to sit down and eat there. Otherwise my go-to is to order a couple of their banh mis (particularly the lemongrass chicken and BBQ pork), the vermicelli salad, and spring rolls. This place can get really busy during lunchtime so best to come a bit before lunch or after to avoid waiting.

Came to New West for a short trip and was a bit overwhelmed with how many delicious looking restaurants there are with so little time to try them. Im so glad that my boyfriend and I chose this place for our first meal here! I got their vegan pho and loved it. Atmosphere was pleasant and staff were friendly. Would definitely go back if I could.

December 22, 2022

Food is ok. Service is terrible. I ve ordered take out here many times because it s close to work, I like Vietnamese food. I also want to support local businesses. I generally don t have issues when I order takeout. However, the THREE times I ve tried to dine in have been terrible. The first time - I waited 15 minutes for them to take my order. There were only 2 other dine in customers who were already eating. I walked out because I was already so hungry! The second time - they messed up my order. The third time - they refused me entry today (March 14, 2022) because I did t have my physical ID with me to show with my vaccine card. I have dined in many restaurants with my vaccine card and a photo of my license, but this is the first time I ve been refused entry. Shocked! Never going back or even ordering in ever again.

UPDATING: Since writing this 5 star review 10 months ago, I have been ordering regularly and everything has been consistently great, and have even turned some of my coworkers into big fans. However, something has changed over the past little while (couple of months maybe). The salad rolls (I always order the avocado and shrimp), are rolled differently and have a different unpleasant smell (chemical like), the rice wrappers are tough and chewy. I have also had a couple of things in my rolls (dirt, bug?). I certainly hope its not under new ownership and its going downhill. Hopefully someone from their kitchen staff is just on vacation and things will get back to their normal outstanding prep and food. Just ordered (through Skip) their Combo 3 - Pho and a salad roll - absolutely delicious, super fresh and came piping hot. Cant wait to try their other items. YUMMMMM

My partner and i both enjoy good food and ttied this vegan Vietnamese restaurant , sorry to say but the food is tasteless.!i ordered the spicy pho (tofu mushrooms broccoli etc etc) you could count the noodles (I think 8) and the broth was clear and tasteless .. I asked for hoisin sauce, fish sauce ( the said what s that) and .. oh yes one last thing . Spice. Hot sauce chilli peppers I hate sounding sarcastic but I honestly don t understand. The food was tasteless. Try the pho on 104 ave and 144 street in surrey much much better. V cafe us definitely not worth the money

The food is good every time I go there. Got different items this time; the vegan spicy noodle soup (with vegan ball instead of the vegan beef slides) a passion fruit iced tea and the vegan ginger chicken banh mi to have later on. The food was prepared right away and fast. Words of advice: the soup was quite spicy so you might want to wear goggles while eating it so that you dont have an eyeball-burning splashing incident. You also may not want to inhale to cool down your mouth when it comes out piping hot so as not to inhale the spicy fumes and make yourself cough and your nose run like a sick person may have. Take caution my fellow eaters (but Id order it again in a heartbeat!) The iced tea was the perfect balance of ice to drink and sweet to bitter with REAL passion fruit flavour (but no seeds.) The banh mi was the amazing crunchy but soft loaf with the right amount of crunchy veggies and gooey, saucy chicken.

Update: just a brief update to still say Im in love with this place. If I know Ill be in the vicinity at all I prioritize grabbing a bite to eat here, and Ive raved about this place to family/friends. So glad to see it still around! ------------- 4 Years ago - I recently discovered V Cafe within the last month, and have been back multiple times, hauling along a new friend each time. I never thought I could have vegetarian/vegan Vietnamese that was this good! Food is amazing and so reasonably priced. Their smoothies are delicious too. And the staff are friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Ive lived here for about a month and I think Ive ate here 4 times? It is incredible. Extremely fresh and flavourful plant based dishes. Ive tried 2 different things so far: The vegan Vermicelli spring roll bowl and the Vietnamese vegan salad rolls with ginger pineapple chili sauce. I want to try more but these are just so good. I will eventually. Ive done both dine-in and pickup. The quality of both was the same. Service is extremely kind. Very casual dining environment where you help yourself to water and other condiments. Wifi is good. The only thing I will say is the dining room is really hot, so taking it to-go is a good option! Vegetarian options: Several quality vegan/veg options.

C m n Super jealous of my friends Vegan Lemongrass Chicken Rice Dish Gà (xào s t), this was without a doubt a solid five star and phenomenal dish with great vibrant lemongrass flavor and super yummy soy-like texture from the imitation chickn. My Spicy Vegan Soup Pho Chay was a big letdown, did not look like the photos as advertised and barely had a sniff of vegetables as perceived from the photos and description. It was also more oily than Spicy and not the best. Albeit, my cà phê á vi t nam saved the day! Extremely tasty, refreshing and boasting that incredibly rich flavor from authentic vietnamese coffee, yum!! The perfect compliment to a sweet craving post lunch. This is a nice joint, good varied Vegan menu serving authentic vietnamese grub at average fare in a comfortable laid back environment. Order over 30 bucks and get a refreshing can of coconut water!

favourite vegan spot in vancouver hands down. I ve ordered delivery from here 5 times so far and everything tastes amazing Love their banh mis and soups. Their soups are especially good because the ingredients aren t like the commonly used ones in vegetarian food (broccoli, mushroom, pepper, carrot etc) they also have taro and vegan hams, veggie meat balls, zucchini, daikon etc. The veggies are always cooked super thoroughly which i prefer over the half cooked-half raw kind i would love to try dining in sometime

The food is very good and weve eaten here numerous times. The problem is the service can be so slow. We called in a pick up order and were told it would be ready in 15-20 minutes. I arrived 30 minutes after calling and then still had to wait an additional 10 minutes in the store. There were two dine in tables which had already been served and one take out order before me. It sucks having to stand around waiting.

Unpleasant experience. Had to wait 45min for a banhmi, a roll and a coffee. Coffee was just powder, and not even properly mixed. The baguette stayed too long in the oven and was super dry. The rolls were done quickly and the rice wrap was not wet enough, hard to chew. They apologized for the delay, but they served others persons that came after me and we werent a lot... really disappointed

One of the best vegan Vietnamese food I have had! The spicy vegan noodle soup (bon bo hue) is out of this world. Ever since going vegan I haven t been able to have this soup cuz it usually contains shrimp paste, but this tastes exactly like the original, I was shocked. Their banh mi s and fresh rolls are awesome as well. Everytime I visit the Vancouver area, me and my partner always stop by here to get our fix and we are from Kelowna. Vegan or not the food is amazing and delicious, your non vegan friends will definitely enjoy it. Definitely a must visit. The restaurant itself is small and a little run down but the food makes up for it and the servers are kind and adorable. They also do take out/door dash so order in if you want soup in the comforts of your own home! Dietary restrictions: They offer some non vegan options

Last night I had the vegan citrus spare rib banh mi and *insert chefs kiss* the bread was stunning, so fresh and with the perfect bit of crunch and softness, the pickled veg were perfectly crunchy and yummy and the vegan citrus spare rib hit the spot. We also got spring rolls, and usually do, because they re awesome. Sometimes I get a pho or salad rolls or one of the platters, everything is super awesome and the team are so lovely.

Have to talk about the bad service. Not rude by any means, but we had to approach the waitress on everything: getting water, ordering food, getting the bill. Id still come back as the food was alright (a bit sparse on the ingredients) and theres a great selection of vegan stuff (allergic to dairy and eggs unfortunately, so they were a godsend). To management, dont take it too hard, but please put a bit more emphasis on service when you get the chance. Times are tough and Id love to see this place succeed and expand!
