Mr. Red Cafe - Vancouver, British Columbia

Tried out this restaurant for the first time and can say it’s super delicious! Have not tried any of their pho’s but will have to try it sometime and report back. I got their Banh Xeo as my main and can confirm it’s delicious, crispy and served with veggies and fish ... sauce! If you’ve been wanting to try it they make a really good one here! Read more

On the pricier side but their food is freshly made and came piping hot. Their homemade pickled garlic is delicious too! Tried #6 pork and crab meat spring rolls (cha nem cua be) and #9 Xeo Crepe, highly recommend! Also tried #C1 lemongrass chicken rice which is average.

Visited this restaurant on a Saturday evening and was able to get a table right away. There’s lots of seating and it was only maybe 25% full at the time (around 6:30pm). I got the rice dish with chicken and fried egg. It was pretty good. I’d say it’s not something ... extraordinary or something I’d go out of my way to get to when compared to other Viet restaurants though. There was an elderly lady that served us and she was super nice. Two things I’d say that were negative about my experience here: 1.) In the middle of dinner, a cockroach crawled across our table. Needless to say, that’s a huge turn-off and we lost our appetite and settled our bill shortly after. You just can’t help but think where else they might have pests. 2.) They don’t take credit. I didn’t notice any signage speaking to that regard from when I got in up until I got to the front counter to pay. They also don’t have an ATM on the premises, so that made it a bit of an awkward situation. The lady at the counter accepted I pay with credit in the end. There really was no other choice in that scenario. Read more

Fantastic Bun Cha (Hanoi). I’ve had this dish in Hanoi many times (and loved it) and I would say this was comparable to the authentic version. Also the ice coffee and condensed milk was great

Delicious noodles and cute folk art style decor! Beef noodle soup had a lot of juicy beef slices and its broth was light but very tasty. Was so good we almost drunk it all! Fish cake soup was also very good with lighter broth with tons of fish cakes. It had a kick ... of flavour from dill and shallot. Also tried vermicelli with pork belly slices and spring rolls. It was first time I tried anything like that but I liked it a lot! The sauce went very well with the noodle and veggies. I would rate all those noodles 5 stars! I have tried their crepe, wings, and crab spring rolls in the past and rate them 4 stars. All their drinks are excellent, too! 5 stars! Read more
