Bánh Mì Très Bon

“ I honestly have no idea why the reviews are not as high as it should be for this place. Having tried 20 top rated Vietnamese places in Metro Vancouver by now, this is by far my favourite place for pho, because they’re the only place that serves my favourite beef pho with bone marrow, with complex flavour and just the right balance of the ingredients. I often find pho broths can be very oily or overly sweet - this was neither. As someone who isn’t normally a fan of pho (pho is the bottom of my list for noodles), Banh Mi Tres Bon changed my mind about what comfort food is. I also like their banh mi’s, salad rolls, and people I’ve brought also like their other pho options too. Despite sounding sponsored (which I’m not), I decided to post this after being baffled by some of the negative reviews and felt like I needed to give my voice. Anyway, 10/10 would recommend this place ”

“ This place was on my Vietnamese food bucket list. The photos of their dishes on Instagram look so unique and nice, so today we decided to try it. When I entered, I thought it was a Christmas market with all the Christmas decorations and the original and beautiful lantern lights on the ceiling, it was just too much for me. We had the phoenix shrimp served with fish sauce, the pho tai bo vien and shrimp and pork tapioca dumplings. The wrapping outside the prawns were very flaky but I didn’t like how thick it was. The beef soup was very light but flavourful. The dumplings were my favourite, so chewy and the filling was tasty. The presentation of the dishes were pretty. You must see the spa like bathroom. It was a clean and nice place to eat. The price was on the higher side but the service was good. ”

“ First time here with my wife and food was amazing. Service is amazing. The decor, music, and ambience makes me frel like im in Hoi An, Vietnam. The individual crepe balls in the stone pot was so so good. The papaya salad is the best ive eaten (they make their own jerky! ). The little banh mi was packed with meat and tasty. Very thoughtful of them to have a diaper changing station in their washroom. The detail they put into this establishment is . Definitely bringing my teenage girls here next time. ”

“ What a lovely little eatery. Had some great food and the afternoon drizzle just disappeared as we ate crispy Bahn Mi and a delicious pomelo salad with other trimmings and a fabulous time we had too. Will come again with kids for their gluten free options! Great Euro fusion decor to add to the ambiance. Recommended. ”

“ Updating my review since the last disappointing experience I had. The restaurant reached out to me and offered me a gift card. I really appreciate them trying to make my experience better. Went back on Valentine’s Day and had PHO TAI BO VIEN. And I have to admit it was the best pho I’ve had in a while. I normally always get chicken pho but I fell for the 24 hours broth and bone marrow. It totally hit the spot. Hubby got the same thing and love it. Service was great and the staff were super friendly. I would go back and give chicken banh mi if another try again! ”

“ The atmosphere is unexpectedly elaborate and fun/fancy at the same time! We love this place so much. The staff is always so kind and very attentive. The food though, that's the show stopper. We've had close to 75% of the menu items and none of those have been a disappointment. This is 5 star worthy also because they have the most unique and delicious cocktails in all of BC that I've found so far. They dont skimp on the alcohol either. Very well balanced and flavorful. A wonderful place for a quick lunch, or having fancy teas with a coworker, or splitting the many shareable dishes their large menu has to offer. My favorite is how you can get a pho flight of 3 different types to try! Great idea that I wish more restaurants would do. Especially for newcomers to this style of food, it gives them an option to sample what they like. The bathrooms smell amazing, like lemongrass, and very clean with cute decor. To-go orders are always super fast too and packaged up very well. Go eat here! ”

“ Have been getting takeout several times in the last 2 years during the pandemic, but now was able to eat in for years. It was busy but the service was very good and efficient. As always the food is a step above the average small Vietnamese restaurant. Of course you pay more, but I think it's worth it. ”

“ I came here for a weekend brunch. Banh mi tres bon has a lovely parisenne interior and from the looks of the food, we were very excited to order. We lucked out with their corner seating that had the couch. We got the beef pho with bone marrow. Besides being incredible photogenic, this dish is so comforting with incredible flavors. This is a must have here. Next came the little egg crepe tarts in the hot iron skillet. Again, incredible for photos, but I must stress this. You have to order this dish! But be careful, it is extremely hot. The fish sauce and chillies that come with it add another layer of flavors. Finally, the Vietnamese beef stew, choice of bread or rice. I wished this dish was bigger LOL, cause it was delicious as well. Fantastic place! Definitely recommend anyone to try it! We really had a wonderful experience here. Our Lady server had incredible service experience. We loved their theme. Above all, the quality of food here is real good. The prices are just a slight high but the quality speaks for it. This is a great place for high tea as well. I would come back as a regular returning customer. ”
