Mr. Red Cafe - Vancouver, British Columbia

WOW. I'm really let down by the number 12 special beef noodle I had today. The soup is so bland it didn't taste like broth at all; it was all fish sauce, which was disgusting. Even adding their chili sauce couldn't save it. The beef was alright, but I just ... ended up eating that. I hate wasting food, but I couldn't stomach this. I can't believe that I paid $19 for this. It's a complete joke. Read more

I really like Vietnamese cuisine. This restaurant is located on West Broadway. It's really clean inside and the service is also good. The beef wrapped in leaf dish which tasted really good!

I ordered 19 which is the pork and crab meat platter. The first two pieces of the spring rolls are good while the third one has some bad smelling like something goes bad. The waitresses are friendly offer me another piece of spring roll. My friends ordered the pho which ... were quite good. The price is higher than others. And they are not accepting CREDIT CARDS!

I’ve been to this place a couple of times and it never disappoints. Service is fast and friendly. I’ve had the classic banh mi but my favorite is the classic mr red spicy pho. It’s so flavorful and warm, perfect for a rainy or cold day! The portions are pretty ... good for the price as well. I only wish their Vietnamese coffee had more condensed milk, as it was kinda bitter. Read more

I think it’s a hit or miss depending on what you get. I got the class beef pho and it was really standard, nothing special but no complaints either. My friend got the grilled pork belly & pork meat balls (Bún Chà Hà Nội) and it was delicious and super ... unique. We shared the Xèo Crepe and while it was different, the bottom was soggy, there was way too much bean sprouts inside, it was hard to eat and just wasn’t amazing. The service was average and the atmosphere was nice. The decor was fun and enhanced the dining experience. That being said, I would come back to try again but maybe ask for recommendations. Read more
