Viet Mama Cafe - Reservar una mesa

Something that seems to have picked up more steam in the Vancouver food scene lately is bánh cuốn. Similar to Chinese rice rolls, bánh cuốn rice sheets tend to be much thinner and more delicate. I decided to try the ones at Viet Mama Cafe on Victoria Drive as I’ve been hearing good things about this place.In addition to the Bánh Cuốn Nhan $14.95), I wound up ordering their Salad Rolls $6.95 for 2pc) and Spring Rolls $7.95 for 2pc). While I found the salad roll to be a bit standard, the unusually flat spring rolls was a stunner with a good crisp on the deep fried rice wrapper which encased the generous amount of pork, shrimp, crab and veggie filling.Of course, the main event here is the meat rice rolls which has a pork shrimp filling that’s sprinkled with fried shallots and served with Vietnamese ham in addition to meat balls which come separated in a container of sauce).This is the first time I’ve tried bánh cuốn and I have to admit that I really liked the lightness of this dish. Definitely pair this with their crispy spring rolls for some textural contrast.Update: Sep 2023 Finally got to dine in person. Beef Carpaccio Bò Tái Chanh good flavour and loved the onions with the slices of beef.Meat Rice Roll Bánh Cuốn NhânDeep Fried Fish Cakes Chả Cá Thì Là plump and bouncy.Butter Garlic Chicken Wings Cánh Gà Bơ Tỏi served with sweet chili sauce.

By far the best pho restaurant in Vancouver. The broth and quality of ingredients are admirable. Viet Mama has stolen my heart through my stomach! Best salad rolls I've ever had, excellent soups as well. I love that the rare beef is cut in strips and not slices, they don't clump together :D They just added new delightful things to their menu and extended their operating hours, this place is amazing! A must try! Hands down, my favourite.UPDATE: Since the change I last mentioned in hours of operation, the quality of the food went downhill and I no longer recommend this restaurant. I tried it a good 10 times before deciding to give up on them. The salad rolls took a dramatic turn for the worst and the broth tasted like it started getting watered down.

Ordered the spring rolls and veggie spring rolls few times the past year, today I ordered the same thing but I got the mini size veggie spring rolls and I talked to the staff than he argued and lied to me that was changed 2-3 years ago!!!Holly... What 's wrong with the management???

A delicious late night pho spot. Large portions with tasty pho broth; next time i will be asking for half portion of noodles. If you ask for extra rare beef they’ll give you a full plate of meat (x2 the amount that they give originally in your bowl.
