Uber order came about 1.5 hrs later despite estimated time being 35 minutes. Food was mediocre. Grilled short ribs were quite bony and many pieces were very burned. This left a charred bitter taste when eating this entree. I am very surprised that you decided to serve this despite all the burned pieces. Much of this had to be thrown out. Lemongrass chicken entree was dry. Prawn rolls were fine. Cold cuts sandwich was salty, and small for $9.99. We would not recommend.

The service was great! Sadly the food was severely lacking... It tasted like some of the food was just microwaved instead of fresh. Middle-of-the pack viet food here: if they used fresher ingredients it might elevate the flavour However for the pho, it definitely needs to be cooked longer and hotter. My bean sprouts were still cold in the broth and I was disappointed. The coffee was burnt rather than strong... i don't think they had the slow drip press. End of the day, it's still alright - always room for improvement I like that its open late tho! :)

I ordered a banh mi, portion size was quite small, taste was ok. My friends ordered pho which according to them was pretty good. Service was quite slow despite not being too busy, but the food came in around 15-20min.

This hidden gem of a Pho spot truly exceeded all expectations. From their convenient operating hours, extending until midnight, to the impeccable quality of their dishes, there's nothing but praise to offer. The soup portions are perfectly sized, and the sandwiches make for convenient, quick bites. For those craving a classic beef soup, #41 is an absolute must-try. Meanwhile, if you're in the mood for a veggie-packed delight, #56 is the way to go. The appetizers are a delight, with the spring rolls and salad rolls accompanied by a delectable peanut sauce that's simply irresistible. Their Guza and deep-fried squid are equally delightful additions to any meal. Don't miss out on their Vermicelli options, especially #63 and #66 for those who love prawns. The fried rice #90 and Hawaiian #92 offer tantalizing flavors that won't disappoint. For those craving something heartier, the Chicken Chow Mein #73 and the Grilled Short Ribs #99 are sure to satisfy any appetite, even your furry friends won't be able to resist! The staff here are incredibly attentive and friendly, contributing to a fast-paced yet welcoming environment. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, the prices are reasonable, making it accessible to all. In conclusion, if you're on the hunt for a fantastic Pho spot that won't break the bank, look no further. This place offers an unforgettable dining experience that's sure to keep you coming back for more.

Ordered for the first time off uber eats.... veggie peanut pho, veggie vietnamese spring rolls, and shrimp pad thai! Delicious and will definitely order again. My only complaint is that there is hardly any protein, 3 pieces of tofu with the pho and 4 shrimps with the pad thai. The sizes are huge, but mostly carbs. I was very happy to receive lime wedges with the pad thai, and the basil was very fresh with the pho! (I've already eaten a spring roll in this photo and some pad thai)

I recently dined at V Nam Restaurant, and it exceeded my expectations in several ways. First and foremost, I appreciate that it’s a Vietnamese restaurant open till midnight, making it a fantastic late-night dining option. One standout feature of V Nam Restaurant is the generous portion sizes they offer. You certainly won’t leave hungry, and the best part is that it comes at a reasonable price. It’s a budget-friendly option for those looking for a satisfying meal without breaking the bank. The flavors of the dishes at V Nam are bold and packed with Vietnamese goodness. While some might find it more intense than expected, I personally enjoyed the flavorful experience. The authenticity of the taste is evident, and it adds to the overall charm of this restaurant.

V-Nam is hands down my favorite local spot in the Shipyards! Everyone is incredibly friendly, and the food is consistently amazing. My go-to dishes are the rare beef and brisket pho, which is so flavorful and comforting, the Hawaiian fried rice, and the spring rolls that are always perfectly crispy. I m also obsessed with the grilled lemongrass chicken salad rolls so fresh and delicious! Well priced and offers late delivery too! Highly recommend this gem to anyone craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine!

If you feel like Vietnamese stay away!! I ordered lemon grass chicken vermicelli, I literally thought it was pork because it tasted nothing like chicken but I would have preferred pork tbh maybe it s dog meat tbh whatever it was it was absolutely disgusting. If this wasn t bad enough, after forcing myself to eat a couple bites I then found 2 long black hairs inside! Lmfao I m not even kidding I wish this was a fake post, place is foul do not come here

August 22, 2024

This restaurant is one of the worst places you can buy food from. The staff are extremely rude, lacking any professional etiquette, and they insult your intelligence. The food quality is mediocre to low, which is forgivable, but their behavior towards customers was truly shocking and the worst Ive ever experienced! They threw the food container at me while I had been waiting for 20 minutes for my food box. When I told them my food was ready and placed on the counter, they ignored me, made me stand for a long time, and verbally disrespected me!!!

I will put this restaurant at the bottom list of the Vietnamese restaurants I have been. I have Vermicelli with grill pork and spring rolls. The pork isn t grilled and the meat is not in good quality. The stuffing of the spring rolls doesn t taste good. I don t think I will go back to try pho, the regular noodle soup.

★★★★★

I love this place! Ive been coming here for at least 13 years and these people never disappoint. Their food is delicious, healthy and (relatively) affordable. My mom always goes for the vermicelli dishes (which are excellent) but I like to be a little bold, as they have an extensive menu. I recommend the duck soup and chicken curry. Also theres a really cool used book store in the same complex called Booklovers you can check out after you eat.

By far our favourite Vietnamese food in North Vancouver!

April 22, 2024

Ive been a regular customer over 2yrs. But I should sadly say its time to say goodbye. Normally I order pho with side of brisket. But for some reason, they dont give me BRISKET, but they give slices of SIRLOIN which I dont like. But OK. Its fine. BUT from Today, Im not a fan of this place. Today I ordered House special pho with extra brisket and their broth is very blend. And since couple months ago, they dont give you a side Sriracha, their vege(bean sprout, basil, jalapeno) amount got shrunken. And I found today the meat quality is not good. (See the photo. Is this brisket or is it for a dog?) And they raised the price with very stiff gap. And my extra meat...? 5 SLICES OF SIRLOIN FOR 5BUCKS. Higher price. With low quality meal. Small amount of ingredients. You hate that amount so you pay more, but you still get 5 slices of inedible beef fat. Bye. It was haply for last 2yrs but no more...

April 22, 2024

Their employees are so rude, They don t have any customers services, Their foods are awful and they don t care about your comments, Receptionist, never care for your any requests. Food : 1/5 |

April 22, 2024

One of the employees there, who always works at the cash desk, is very rude. She behaves very badly with customers. That woman doesnt respect cleanliness at all and treats customers with angry and rude behavior. Customers are not important to the owner of this restaurant, because if he valued customers, would not have allowed such rude behaviour to employee. Also, if you see the kitchen of this restaurant, it is not possible to eat in this restaurant, because it is very dirty and they do not follow hygiene.

I ve heard very good things so I tried it out. I got the Sate Peanut Pho w/ beef and it was great! Perfect for a chilly day. It does have some kick to it, but it is not too bad. I had to get it to go today but usually it s much better to have Pho in house. It came with tons of veggies and noodles. The beef I wouldn t mind having a little bit more of because it s so thin and tender. *If you are new to pho, the beef will look raw but once you put in the soup it would cook.* I added a tiny bit of peanut butter to make it a bit creamier and it was perfect. The lady there was very sweet and courteous. I can t wait to try the pad thai and spring rolls next time. Highly recommend! Parking: Parking around the area and I believe they have some in the back alley.

Came here for lunch with a friend. It s a good place to go if you want to be able to chat without having to talk over music or the crowd but maybe we were too loud for the place? Lol when I was looking over the menu at first I thought the prices were a bit high but then when the food came out the portion sizes are huge! The picture of the vermicelli I took after I was a few bites into my bowl (I forgot to take a picture before I ate). As for the service nothing spectacular, they never once came up to our table to check in on things. You pretty much have to wave them down if you need anything.

A profoundly average place. Suitable if you need to get a quick bite in and aren t overly picky about prompt service. Ive been here twice. On one occasion I had the rare beef pho with beef balls. The broth has very little depth. The beef balls are quite rubbery. The portion size is good though. On another occasion I had the vermicelli with lemongrass chicken. The chicken was quite oily and felt like a sub-par piece of meat. I used to live on Robson, above Vietsub. I ve since come to realize how lucky I was to live that close to great Vietnamese food. This place is fine. But don t expect much.

Vegetarian options: Yesterday was very disappointing. One of my 2 spring rolls was very burnt but was still served. My vegetarian vermicelli bowl also had a bunch of water in the bottom of my bowl. It looked liked the salad was washed then thrown into the bowl wet. I was also charged for something I didnt order. This is not the first time this has happened. In the winter it was freezing cold in the restaurant with no heat while the waitress wore a heated jacket. Yesterday it was warm out but I had to argue just to sit outside because the waitress was cold. Not sure why customers comfort is being disregarded. My experience yesterday was unfortunately not good.

Good portion sizes, I ordered the spicy beef soup noodle large and wife grilled chicken soup small. Also a vietnamese spring roll. The spring rolls are absolutely delicious, so many places use the generic , Chinese wrapping and when I go for vietnamese thats what I dont want. The wrapping on these are beautifully crispy and texture is bubbly after frying and adds more to the wonderful filling. My soup was bountiful with the rice noodles and the beansprouts were generous for both myself and my wifes order. The broth itself is decent and I was very full after devouring my meal. Would I return, yes but maybe lll stick with a small pho and spring rolls. I was stuffed, not as young as used to be hehe.

Go for the food but dont expect fantastic service.

A dirty place with lots of fruit, house flies. Sauce bottles are gross to touch. Old Beansprouts were served in a smelly plate. A poor quality, disposal chopsticks are served. Service or foods are nothing to say when the place is dirty...There is no 2nd visit for me for sure. Its just unacceptable thing for any restaurant.

December 22, 2023

Walked up to the counter to order take-out. The woman said hello and then as I started ordering she turned away from me and started texting on WhatsApp. I said if youre too busy I can go, she didnt listen to me so I walked out. When I looked through the window she was still texting and hadnt even noticed I had left. Very unfortunate as I love the food here but I wont be returning.

Terrible service. You walk in and expect somebody to greet you but they never do you literally have to walk around and ask where you should sit. Then if you need something and you get up to ask for it ( because the only waitress stays in the kitchen the whole time everytime) they treat you like how dare you get up to ask and make you go sit down like youve done something wrong. Ive stopped eating here because of the rude service. The last time I ate here my food was literally thrown together. I got 2 burnt Spring rolls and my vermicelli bowl was filled with water at the bottom because they couldnt even bother to dry the lettuce. My main issue with this place is the absolute rude service. One time they overcharged me by $5 and then told me they would reimburse me the next time I came in which they didnt. Another time I came in in the winter time the heat was not on at all it was absolutely freezing cold in the restaurant while the waitress was walking around with her heated electric jacket on. Then the last time I went there it was a nice summer night. It was around 9 oclock and still warm out. The waitress that was wearing the heated jacket in the winter didnt want people sitting outside because she was cold. I insisted to sit outside and multiple other people wanted to sit outside as well. After being seated and having our order taken we never got service again. Honestly sick of the rudeness. I wont be going back here again. Clearly customers are not important to them as they seem more concerned about their own comfort than their customers.

V- nam s food are flavorful and filling. My favorite is grilled pork sub. The bread is really good! I ordered the mango basil roll at the time, it was okay (mango was sour for me) Not pictured here is their beef brisket soup. Meat is tender, broth is tasty. Only downside is that service can be slow since they are short-staffed, but the owner is nice and the food is good so it s worth a visit, and worth coming back to.

Wow. This place has really gone downhill. NEVER GOING BACK again. I usually give restaurants a chance (3 strikes) but they have just kept failing me even though ive wanted things to turn around. The last visit was the experience that has totally made me decide this place is deceitful and not worth my support any longer. I called in to order a pick up order. They said it would take 20 min. I even took my time and didnt arrive for 30 minutes. When i got there they looked puzzled and asked me if i had ordered over the phone. I said yes... 30 minutes ago. The lady went to the back and returned shortly. She proceeded to punch my order in and took my payment. There was no mention that the order still had to be made. She just took my money making me assume that it was almost out. After 25 minutes, my food finally came out. WHAT A COMPLETE JOKE. The is the worst service ever. I know mistakes happen so im cool if an order is missed over the phone. However, dont make me assume that my order is running behind and just about to come out when the cook hasnt even got the order to start making it. Only go there if you want bad service.

We decided to have our lunch at V-Nam Vietnamese Restaurant, and this is so right, we just loved spring rolls so much for this dish, my seafood #52 is so tasty and #54 is spicy and so yummy , but Ill make sure they will cook the noodle a bit more next time, other than that, its all good Thank you!

Best Vietnamese hands down on North Shore. Authentic and friendly staff. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating and a large free parking lot in the back accessed by the alley. Most other Vietnamese restaurants have no parking and not much seating so this is a great place to go. Even when they re busy as they often are, they still have room to accommodate more customers.

After driving past this restaurant for years, I decided to try it for a take-out dinner. A major disappointment. Pork brochette could have been called, Meat on a skewer, complete with fat and gristle. Yam Tempura, which should have been light and crispy, was soggy and limp. Shrimp Pad Thai held overcooked and cold crustaceans, a few vegetables and lots of noodles with too much fish sauce applied.

This is a hidden gem! Everyone raves about Vancouver s Asian food scene but this is the spot. As someone who has lived in Vietnam for 16 years and is married to someone from Vietnam, this place is authentic and unmatched to any restaurant around. Not to mention the staff are friendly and genuine. This isn t fine dining but this place is makes up for it with taste and service!

Truly a special place. Ive been coming here for 6 years. I always leaved stuffed with delicious Vietnamese flavors. This is a family owned business, and they work had. The owner seems to have made this her familys breadwinning. I havent seen someone work ask hard as her in any restaurant Ive been to. Hopefully her children will carry on that legacy :)

I order from skip the dish, this so called beef brisket smell like rotten meat, smell source and stinky, when I call to ask the staff said there is nothing wrong with the food, I don t know why do you think this is bad , excuse me? And she s like I am very busy now, I don t know why you say something like that, nobody else said like that , she was so rude and acting like I am trying to make up this story, this is so disrespectful and gross, I am gonna try to contact the food safety department to ask the inspections!!!

What a disappointment! Greasy, & old! Pho udon noodles blood soaked with un- cooked meat! Broth tasteless. Pad Thai had hard stuck together noodles & over cooked , ! Vietnamese curry was oily & chicken?! Was weird looking! Tough & grissly. Also Vermicelli hard & stuck together again! Had no idea you had to cook the at home?! Thought it was takeout! Save your ! I try to support small local business, but could have gone to Osaka mkt. for 1/2 the price!

I believe this place used to be good. Appears to be run down with very little care given to the atmosphere of the place. The lighting is quite dim. We ve eaten from here a couple of times and every time we regret it. We had two bánh mì s and a lemongrass chicken/rice dish. The chicken seemed to be old and everything else was pretty bland. They also tried to sell me some old spring rolls as well. Probably will not order from here again unless there is a change in not only the food but everything else as well.

The only place with quality Pho in North Vancouver. The portion is nice and, very fast service. Even during lunch, the staff managed to get the food out very fast. Totally appreciate the quick lunch at V-Nam. Parking: Parking is available on the street. Also there is parking available beside the building. Which is accessible thru the alley.

Vnam restaurant is an absolute gem in the heart of the city. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with warm smiles and a cozy ambiance. The menu offers a wide variety of Vietnamese dishes, each bursting with authentic flavors and fresh ingredients. One standout dish is their pho, a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup. The broth is rich and aromatic, and the tender meat and fresh herbs make for a truly satisfying bowl. Another must-try is their banh mi, a Vietnamese sandwich filled with savory meats, pickled vegetables, and a generous spread of homemade sauce. The combination of flavors and textures is simply divine. The staff at Vnam restaurant is attentive and knowledgeable, always ready to offer recommendations or answer any questions you may have. The service is prompt, ensuring that your dining experience is smooth and enjoyable. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, with subtle nods to Vietnamese culture. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a casual lunch or a cozy dinner with friends and family. Overall, Vnam restaurant is a delightful culinary experience that transports you to the vibrant streets of Vietnam. With its delicious food, friendly staff, and charming ambiance, it s definitely a place worth visiting.
