Cafe Mai-Mai - Vancouver, British Columbia

This restaurant has some exotic pho. There's one with a spicy almost tom yum flavor with ham and sliced beef. Very hearty and flavorful. They observe proper safety protocols. It's sad to see them struggling when they have good food.

This is a small place with a limited menu. Outside there isn't much parking. I got the vermicelli with spring rolls and grilled pork. The cutlet was good and spam-y. The spring rolls were smooth and good. I really enjoyed it. The fish sauce was very spicy, though. The chicken on the ... other side isn't super great. It was sort of dry and tasted like fried chicken. It was a small but busy place. The food was just okay. Read more

my absolute favourite pho spot in town! We recommended it to all our friends and they've all loved it as well. Only downside is that you have to be heading north on Granville to get here

This is probably going to be my go to pho restaurant moving forward. I was quite impressed! There is no MSG added to anything, the food tastes excellent. I ordered the medium rare beef in rice noodle soup, with salad rolls (pictured below). The service was good, ... and I don't have any complaints except for the chairs (but hey it's a pho restaurant).

I am so happy to have found a Vietnamese restaurant here in Vancouver which doesn't use MSG in the food. I went two days in a row and had #9 Pho. There us parking here which is an added bonus.
