Had Pho, Bun Bo Hue and spring rolls. The food is very decent with good potion. Won’t say it tastes the best in town but still good. The waitress is super nice too

I'm sorry but the two Viet subs we got were extremely dry and tasteless.. there was NO mayo or pate, just a piece of dry pork, a fired egg, little bit of shredded carrots, piece of cucumber and little cilantro. Definitely cannot justify the price for this quality.

Food was good, we ordered spring roll, fried wonton and stir fried seafood and noodle. I liked wonton more than spring roll in terms of flavor. Fried seafood was lacking strong flavor, but with chili sauce that you ask it make fantastic. Price was reasonable for the portion.

September 22, 2022

Overrated on Google, in short, spring roll is small and flavourless, pho is flavourless with overdose of noodle, chicken skew is either hard as rubber or partially uncooked. Hopefully the regular chef is on leave today; otherwise AVOID.

The pho in this restaurant is tasty and big . The skewers are also delicious. I'll try others on the menu next time.

Happy to see a Vietnamese restaurant land here. Pho hit the spot, broth is clear and tasty. Papaya Salad was nice and fresh, could use a little more seasoning or fish sauce. On the pricey side for Vietnamese but given the location overall a great dinner out. Will be back to try more from the menu.

nice family run restaurant with friendly staff and homey vietnamese cuisine. we missed vietnam so much that we decided to take a day off today and try some authentic vietnamese food. the restaurant is big enough for customers to social distance. all staff were wearing masks. hand sanitizer is also available in at the restaurant salt and pepper chicken wings - wings were made to order. the flavour was enhanced by natural ingredients such as garlic, onion and chili pepper lemon soda - refreshing and not too sweet. great pairing with the salt and pepper chicken wings house special vermicelli with prawns, chicken, beef, and 2 spring rolls - generous amount of toppings on the vermicelli. the meats were nicely marinated. the vermicelli dipping sauce is also very tasty house special beef pho - homey taste without msg. broth was made from real ingredients and we didn't feel thirsty afterwards. there were also generous amount of toppings on the pho papaya salad - the papaya is really fresh and the house special sauce makes this dish memorable shrimp on sugar cane - the shrimp paste has a good texture and taste. it was perfectly cooked thank you five corners for bringing back our foodie memories from vietnam

I recommend to try this place the food was great and the taste is good . I went there yesterday and it was my dating day with my husband., actually it’s a wonderful mistake to walk in to here . This place was a Taiwanese restaurant before and we’re expecting to come for our day 🙂😆 But we stop and we try !! the papaya salad is so good without MSG . The noodles soup was great the best taste is short ribs and chicken wings I can’t describe more how good it is I really enjoy it and highly recommend to this place for people who’s looking for a good Vietnamese restaurant and all the menu are no MSG in it.. Anybody needs to know please visit and enjoy the food!!!

IT IS CLOSED. Excited to try it on a rainy Sunday afternoon but it was closed while the google maps saying it is open! Wasted my time. I would make sure to update the google if I were the owner/management especially the owner has been replying other people s reviews.

WOW! What an incredible and friendly place to come to, my second time here and I have NOT been disappointed!! Always fresh, healthy and absolutely mouth watering delicious and very affordable food at the Five Corners Vietnamese family run restaurant located right here in beautiful West Vancouver! I highly HIGHLY recommend giving this place a try and if you haven t already, you are totally missing out!! I am already looking forward to my next visit as I cannot wait to try the many other items they have on their menu, both meat and vegetarian options! Thank you to our wonderful server, she was kind and gentle, very attentive and respectful too! Thank you to the kind owner as well for always making/taking the time to talk with us, with his customers, and who always makes us feel very welcome every time we have been in there, we will definitely be back soon, cheers! xoxox

Weve been to this place several times and its always been good food, however last time then we went there it was only us and the restaurant was pretty empty. We got our pho and we noticed the noodle was not cooked so we asked if they could cook it more. I used to work in restaurants so I know how to ask and be polite. When they returned our dish the noodle was cooked however the meat and the tendons were super dry and stale, indicating they did not like us sending the food back. To me thats unacceptable and shows unprofessional behavior towards customers. The waiter saw us picking out the meat and putting it on a napkin because we wanted them to see how bad they looked. They did not react indicating they knew about it. Disgusting!

My husband and I dropped by for some pho and spring rolls.. it was AMAZING super fresh, no additives! I don t remember last time having pho and it not being over salted or too sweet highly recommended! The girl who worked there is absolutely astonishing! Super polite, kind and very helpful!!

December 23, 2022

Ordered the viet subs the only ingredients in it was some meat and lots of shredded carrots. They did not taste good. Also ordered the grilled lemongrass chicken on rice, the rice was cold. Expected better for the viet subs that were almost 9$ and a rice that cost 20$. Would not recommend. Also wanted to order chicken pho but they said it wasn t even available.

It s too good and forgot to take photos!!!! Went to this place after a hike to Joffre lake; got all the energy back with this meal. The house special pho is a must order, the broth is rich with good balance of flavors. It has 5 types of beef, the ball, the tender, the tripe, ect. We also had spring roll and lemon grass pork chop on rice.

The spring rolls and the pork were both lacking flavor in my vermicelli dish. The noodles and veg were good but not enough to counter the other underwhelming flavors. My son had the beef noodle soup. Is it normal for the beef to taste of cinnamon? He didn t care for it and he normally likes pho.

Solidly bland Vietnamese meal. Prawn vermicelli platter came with just the bare minimum, no cucumber, no herbs- it felt like cost cutting exemplified. The Spring rolls were the tiniest, most boring spring rolls I ve ever had. Nothing like the big crispy traditional Vietnamese spring rolls you can get in most other restaurants. You will get better value, and more exciting flavours and ingredients at other Vietnamese restaurants.

Spatial house beef noodle soup The rice noodles are freshly made, not the kind where dry rice noodles are soaked in water. Soft and chewy, the soup is delicious, the beef is fresh, the beef balls are springy, the beef louvers are smooth, the Vietnamese girl is honest and cute, and the environment is clean and comfortable.

As a long-time delighted customer of Five Corners Vietnamese Restaurant in White Rock, I was excited to try the family s recently opened Five Corners Vietnamese Restaurant location in West Van. That opportunity came today and I was equally as impressed with their new venture as I have been with their old familiar setting. The family and their service at the new West Van location was equally as friendly and attentive as I expected and the food was absolutely as scrumptious as I hoped it would be. Love those old Vietnamese family recipes that Mama has perfected I highly recommend this comfortable spot for lunch or dinner!

Excellent. A great delicious and affordable Vietnamese restaurant to West Van. We had the fried spring rolls, seafood noodle soup and the spicy and sour fish cake soup.

A great experience and wonderful food. So glad to have this new Vietnamese restaurant in West Van! Our server was friendly and attentive, tables were well spread out and other patrons placed as far away as possible to maintain social distancing. And, most importantly, absolutely delicious food. I had the vegetarian pho, which was delightful, and my dad had the lemongrass chicken. I look forward to returning as there were many other items on their menu I hope to try!

Came here to try out since the reviews were pretty good. The atmosphere and decor were nice and comfortable. Spring rolls were small but delectable pieces cut into halves. The spicy noodle dish was a moderate level of spicy, which actually suits my taste. The house special beef noodle soup however, was not what I expected. The noodles were a bit soggy and the beef was overcooked so it was a little bit dry and hard to chew. The soup on the other hand was tasty and I didnt feel thirsty even after a good few hours. A testament to their soup being prepped for 10-12 hours. Each item looks pricey but given the rise in prices everywhere, it is actually not that bad. The service was good. The waitress that worked tonight was cute.
