Vina Vietnamese - Burnaby, British Columbia

I walked the entire food court and this was the most appealing and for some reason had no line while other places had 10 people lined up. I ordered the lemongrass pork bowl with vermicelli noodle, it came out within a few minutes. The pork was a little different than I ... was expecting, it's like it was a paste formed into slices. The flavors were good but I wish it had a stronger lemongrass note to it. The egg roll was really good and the perfect crunchy texture with a nice gooey inside. The vermicelli was perfect for this. I'm happy they gave a good sized fish sauce for this I was afraid they would only give a tiny cup. The fish sauce really brings this whole thing together. Overall happy for this food court lunch!

I had an extremely disappointing experience at VINA, a Vietnamese restaurant. I ordered a $5.8 Vietnamese iced coffee, only to watch the owner heat half a cup of hot water in the microwave right in front of me. He then proceeded to mix in a packet of cheap instant Vietnamese ... coffee and poured it over ice. This was incredibly disheartening and not worth the price at all. Read more

The sub wasn’t that good and it was $9. I have honestly had better viet subs for $9. They cheaper out on the vegetables

Could be the worst meal I have ever had. I saw they using microwave when preparing my food, probably the grilled chicken and everything was warm. Definitely the worst place in Metrotown foodcourt!

Had the Lemongrass Chicken with Roll Dip with Vermicelli. The chicken was a little burnt, but still had salvageable flavour. The rolls were good, but the outer layer was more chewy than crispy (likely sitting out for a while and not fresh). At $15.50 for the food, plus around $4 ... for a drink, my food court lunch came to $20. It's a tad pricey for an everyday lunch, but these days many eateries have increased their prices. It was a filling portion though, so would recommend if craving Vietnamese fast food for the taste buds! Read more
