Thai Luong Vietnamese Noodle House - Vancouver, British Columbia

Food: I was just disappointed with the quality of the noodle soup that I had, to the point that I felt I should better have gone to the other pho place. The soup is bland LIKE water, I expect that the broth was richer because it is used to simmer ... the beef for hours. I do not like the type of noodle that they are using(probably packed noodles); it is uncoventional to what other places use. Also, I requested extra meat for additional charge but looks like it is the normal amount of meat that you can get from other restaurants for the regular price. The spring roll is too small for the price of two. Service: Just okay. Atmosphere: It is a small place, and I was the only customer. I was not comfortable with the older man(owner) secretly watching me while I was eating. Read more

Been too long since we’ve been to Thai Luong. Most recent visit was on a late Saturday afternoon Menu has been condensed to 17 items. Food is still excellent although prices have gone up. Make sure you ask/try the pickled garlic and hot pepper jar (there’s only one to share between ... the tables). - Bun cha ca (C1) ($13.50) - broth is subtle but homey. Tasty fish cakes. - Bun thit nuong nem cha la lot (C7) ($17.50) - this is the only vermicelli dish I want to eat. Crispy spring roll, satisfying betel leaf and the grilled pork is delicious. A must try if you’ve never had it. Debit or cash only. One of the few Northern Vietnamese spots in town. Read more

Tried the Escargot Vermicelli in Soup, with the Iced Coffee. Yummy 👍 Remember don't eat too fast, easy to choke, that's no fun. But definitely I like the soup, finished 80% of it, that's too good.

Highly recommend the "bun thit nuong" (grilled pork with vermicelli) here. I got the one with cha la lot (beef wrapped in betel leaf) and cha nem (spring roll). Their bun thit nuong is unlike other ones in Vancouver because this is the Northern Vietnamese (Hanoi) style.

Not too many places have bun cha (grilled pork with dipping noodles) on the menu so when a friend recommended here I jumped on the chance to try it. Flavours were good, I especially liked the fattier pieces of pork. Unfortunately, mine didn’t come with a meat patty (according to ... my friend, hers came with some when she went) which is usually the best part! Ah well… Mine also came with a Hanoi spring roll which was really delicious. I also tried the beef ball pho – the flavour of the broth was also good. Good place to get some legit Northern and Southern style Vietnamese food. The menu doesn’t offer as many options as other places. It’s family-run and the interior is no-fuss. I’d come back for the bun cha. Read more
