Kim Anh Restaurant - Burnaby, British Columbia

Ordered the fried egg Banh Mi with fries ($11) and it was delicious. Also they have indoor seating available.

Came for lunch and had a good meal. The food was tasty and had huge portions. Their covid set up was a little confusing but the staff were friendly. I had Bún bò Huế and it hit the spot. The ratio of meat to noodles and soup was skewed towards noodles ... and soup. There was so much. They didn't give out basil which may be a covid thing but I wished they would mention it was an option to ask for. Read more

Best Vietnamese restaurant in the Edmonds/South Burnaby Area. Who wouldn’t love having Bun Bo Hue with a Cheeseburger? Definitely a hidden gem here. The Bun Bo Hue has an authentic broth that is made separately from the beef pho broth which is a big YES. And then the western style Mushroom Cheeseburger, ... it was better than the Whitespot Monty Burger and for a much cheaper! AMAZING! Big thanks to the staff working that day as we felt humbled to dine in and enjoy the great food they prepared for us. We’ll be back really soon 🤗✌️👏👏 Read more

WOW!! This place is a hidden gem! Just off a busy intersection in Burnaby, it looks like nothing special from the outside, don't let the small sign fool you! As soon as you walk in you know this small family run restaurant is focused on making authentic "home made" ... food. The space is very well laid out, not fancy but comfortable, bright and homey. The staff is friendly and efficient making sure you are comfortable and have everything you need. The food, oh my good god the food!!! First of all make sure you don't eat from the day before because you will need the room, the portions are huge (for me)! We had the spring rolls, Vietnamese Grilled Beef sub, Grilled Chicken sub and one of their specialties, Spicy Beef Rice Noodle soup, and everything was perfect! The spring rolls were flavourful, perfectly crispy and has lots of filling (unlike some places where you get more rice paper than filling), they were served with fish sauce for dipping. The beef and chicken subs were full of fresh vegetables well balanced for flavour, colour and texture and the meat was juicy and tender seasoned to perfection, like it was freshly made, because it was made to order!! Now for the soup! You have probably already had Vietnamese soup, that's why you are looking at this place, but you have not had anything like this before! To begin with, they use a recipe that has been in the family for generations, creating this beautiful soup's amazing depth of flavour and colour. The spice level is decent, it will warm you up, but not so much that you can't taste the spices, it's perfect! The noodles are a thick, slippery rice noodle that accompanies the broth perfectly and the beef is a melt-in-your-mouth rare beef that brings the entire soup together to make this a delightful eating experience!

In early September, I noticed that Kim Anh had recently reopened on Edmonds Street in Burnaby. I found this to be a bit odd because I distinctly remember eating at this same restaurant in this same location a number of years ago. As it turns out, the owners of Kim ... Anh had subleased the location for a couple of years (to Aria Kabab) and had recently decided to reopen. I decided to try their Bun Bo Hue Kim Anh Dac Biet ($10) which is their special version of bun bo hue. It comes with a big bowl of thick and round, slippery noodles, meat balls, and 3 different types of thinly shaved meat (thinking it was a mix of lighter beef, beef brisket, and Vietnamese ham). Not too bad… quite flavourful. I did find the darker-coloured beef (brisket?) was on the tougher side. On my next visit, I tried their Grilled Chicken Banh Mi ($7 + $3 to add fries). The sub was good but I found that the bread wasn’t really that crusty on the outside (something which I really look forward to in a banh mi). The chicken, however, was juicy and tender – loved the fact that it was freshly grilled and you could feel it was still warm in the bun. About a month later, I returned to try their Pho Dac Biet ($10) which is their special pho with tendon, beef slices, meatballs, and tripe. It’s actually not bad with a light but slightly oily broth. Overall the menu here is a bit limited compared to other Vietnamese restaurants but they do offer some western items such as hamburgers as well. Read more
