“It was a very unpleasant eating experience, a restaurant that has been around for a long time but uhhhh, this happened at one of the Japolo restaurant branches in North Vancouver. Yes, it was raining and cold. We came with our family hoping to have a delicious meal, but unfortunately the other waiter was still there. friendly but the other one, I'm sorry, is not friendly at all, asks for a small bowl to just put it down using his left hand, then just puts the dirty plate away after eating and takes it straight away, without saying a word, we are paying for the meal, not asking for it, just so you know that , and the taste of the food is ordinary, the atmosphere is ordinary, the service is extraordinary and not friendly“
“I’ve heard very good things so I tried it out. I got the Sate Peanut Pho w/ beef and it was great! Perfect for a chilly day. It does have some kick to it, but it is not too bad. I had to get it to go today but usually it’s much better to have Pho in house. It came with tons of veggies and noodles. The beef I wouldn’t mind having a little bit more of because it’s so thin and tender. *If you are new to pho, the beef will look raw but once you put in the soup it would cook.*I added a tiny bit of peanut butter to make it a bit creamier and it was perfect. The lady there was very sweet and courteous. I can’t wait to try the pad thai and spring rolls next time. Highly recommend!Parking: Parking around the area and I believe they have some in the back alley.“

“Lovely hole in the wall gem in North Van with classic Pho options for a great price. A regular size bowl is plenty big for even me as a tall guy. Would definitely recommend this place for a quick lunch or dinner when out and about doing errands.“
“I love this place. The food is always delicious. Their prices went up after COVID but so did everyone else's. It makes me sad to see negative reviews about the owners' service. She has always been amazing to myself and my wife. We get treated like family by the owner. Thanks for the wonderful food and amazing service. ♥️♥️♥️“

“Literally my favourite place to eat downtown. I probably go 3 times a month, easy.Everything is good, but my standouts are the bun cha, wings, trifecta rice, and the bbq pork bahn mi. My partner is vegetarian and she has lots to choose from, really lives the pho. Sometimes they have DJs!“
“This is our first time visiting here so we ordered No.6 and 34 which were rocommended by the server. Both were Cambodian dishes and this was also my first time having Cambodian food and I really liked it. The taste of two menus are pretty familiar with me epecially the rice one which feels like Cambodian style korean Bulgogi. The noodle could use more sauce or intensier sauce for rich flavor, which my friend also agreed to but still liked it has pork innards and bean sprouts for toppings.The portion was generous, and considering that, I think price is reasonable. I just wish many restaurants in Vancouver would decrease the portion size of their dishes and lower the prices, allowing me to try more varieties. Anyway, I haven't been to Cambodia yet, but vibe definitely made me feel like I was there. Looking forward to trying their Vietnamese menu too.“
“Had a lemongrass chicken bahn mi today and it was the best I've ever had. Squishy fresh bun, juicy chicken and lots of it, and not spicy. Delicious! Not often my expectations are exceeded when going out for food anymore but these folks deserve 5 stars.“
“I feel happy coming back in this resto because food is good specially the chicken and beef soup. There are lots of good selections. I will recommend this resto to my family and friends. I even have extra order to go for my husband.The owner is also very nice to her customers. She deserved Five Stars ⭐️“
