Actually a very good Vietnamese restaurant in west Vancouver. The place is small and without any fancy decorations.. but the food is excellent, fantastic flavour and good serving sizes. The menu is not extensive but large enough to have plenty of choices. The dessert choices is not great but besides that is really good.Prices are adequate into the affordable category.. amazing for today’s pricing in other restaurants. You can go with your family and not end mortgaging your home.Service is great and they are always available for what you might need.Parking is not available so better park couple of blocks away and walk.. as Marine Drive is busy all the time.We will go back for sure!

Good food but a bit too upscale and pricy, not your typical pho place. The beef pho only has cooked brisket by default and doesn't come with bean sprouts, which is apparently the case for Northern pho so I give them props for staying authentic, and great choice of garlic and hot sauce on the side. Grilled chicken skewers was crisp and juicy.

Delicious and innovative food with beautiful presentation. The ambience is unassuming. The price is comparable to other Vietnamese restaurants, but the quality and sophistication of the food makes it a good deal.

This was our first time to this location. It seemed pretty consistent with walk ins coming and going the entire time we were there. The wait staff was really attentive and explained some food items to us that we didn't understand. We chose the 3 rolls to start and were happy with the prawn, chicken and pork. We then did family style with the lemongrass chicken, curry chicken and pork dishes. All were delicious! We will definitely be back. As you all know, I like to comment on this one. The one all gender bathroom had the typical stains on doors, cracked paint and general yuckiness that seems to be pervasive in small establishments. My recommendation to the owners is clean that up! It makes you wonder just how clean the kitchen is!

Probably the most authentic Phở you can find around Vancouver, or at lease the original Northern Style of Phở.

My wife and I just had our first dining experience here and we are already looking forward to our next visit back.The menu is eclectic with Vietnamese staples (pho, lemongrass chicken, fish sauce chicken wings, etc.) and unique takes, and all are executed perfectly.What really sets this place apart are the house made condiments that come to each table: chilli sauce, garlic chili oil, lemongrass chili oil, and sweet pickled garlic. The right amount to taste turns an already great meal into an amazing one.
The most delicious carpaccio and sauce for it.Delicious soup and perfect service from wonderful staff ?

I cannot express how grateful I am for having found this wonderful restaurant. I walked past after a day at Ambleside beach and was pleasantly surprised to see Bun Cha on the menu, something I have not had since visiting Hanoi many years back. The meal transported me back to that city and I am so thankful to have found Wooden Fish! Other restaurants have tried and it has not been as delicious. I thought I would have to go back to Hanoi in order to eat it again. Will be back very soon!
