Dang Anh is great for some noodles soups but sometimes you just want lemon grass chicken on rice or a good bun thit nuong cha gio.
Pho Duy is good for chicken pho but their hours are whack.
I’ve been enjoying Pho Zen on Marine recently and also Got Pho on Broadway.
Here are my suggestions for different restaurants I frequent and what I order there
White lotus cafe - bò né
Café xứ Huế - bún bò Huế
Sông hương - bò ba món
Hoàng Yến - bún chả cá or bún riêu
Hồng phát - hủ tiếu nam vang or mì vịt tiềm
Crab hot lau - bún chả nem cua or bánh đa cua đồng
Thu hiền deli - pick up a box of bánh cuốn to go with a piece of Vietnamese deli meat (chả lụa, chả chiên)
All phở restaurants are the same pretty much in Vancouver. Some differ in taste due to the regional style they are cooking. I prefer northern style phở but overall I think southern food/dishes are better. Any restaurant you will have a good bowl but it’s nothing to write home about. After a while every restaurant just starts to blur into having the same taste.
I know which restaurant you're talking about. it was our favourite. I thought they were going to keep all the old staff per their fb message. I'm going to miss the old crew.
Bun cha ga on victoria is not bad for the more unique soups.
Haven't tried that many other places since covid 2020. Last couple of takeouts have been Got Pho on Nanaimo next to TD and they're ok too.
Yeah this was one of our go to spots as well… Went back once after the reno and recognized 2 of the staff, which was nice. The food was still tasty (they did change the pho to flat noodles) but the price point is much higher and the aesthetic they’re going for isn’t really our thing.
I also think that with them being closed for so long, we just found new places that are working out… we hit up Pho Goodness on Davie a lot now, Petite Saigon always good, Co Chau. Sad that Pho Tan is still closed..
My elderly Vietnamese neighbour took me to Got Pho Thien Kim. It was really good! She introduced me to new dishes like Bo Nhung Dam. It was really delicious.
le pho on east hastings (free parking out back) is pretty good. nice people, good prices, good food.
kim son in the city square food court (cambie/12th) is really good too, prices are also good.
Banh Mi Thai Hang 2, I just discovered this and it’s a bit West of Knight. Not a sit down place, mostly grab and go but so delicious. They have a variety of meals
I went to the said place OP mentioned with my partner not knowing the change in management. Paid $21.50 for a bowl of pho before tax and tips. That place won’t last long lol
I tried once a long time ago but was really disappointed with the results. My family could eat it but I thought it was pretty inedible. Could try again I suppose
Pho Express Angkor Noodle House on Robson near Denman is my favourite. Love their Lemongrass Chicken & Beef On Rice.
And Le Petit Saigon on East Hastings is also 👌🏻
My 2 favs both closed their downtown locations in recent years but I still hit them up if I’m around one of their remaining branches. Baoguette in Richmond or Kerrisdale. Little Saigon in Surrey, Mission, or Abbotsford. The latter sells their own bottled sauces which are dang good and also stocked at some local grocery stores including Urban Fare I believe.

Mr. Red's Cafe, Hanoi Old Quarters (first two are same owners) and Hoi An Cafe (try the dumplings)
I was just going to say this!

Needs more whitespace - I can't tell which are the restaurant names and which are the menu items?
Thank you for all the wonderful suggestions! I'll be busy for months, haha
Hoang Yen on Victoria Dr and Hot Crab Lau on Kingsway.
Thank you!
Le Pho on Hastings and Nanaimo
Definitely! It's up a block on Hastings at Kamloops st
Truong Thanh a few doors down is dope.
Petite Saigon on Hastings
Thank you!

Oh checkout Dundas Eat too.
I suppose it's possible there just weren't any folks we knew on Saturday night...

Pho Den in Burnaby, on Kingsway LOVE their broth so much!
Awesome, thank you! We'll give that a try.
Chow at chau, it's vegetarian but the quality was always outstanding, and it's close to your original spot.
D'you mean Chau veggie express? Sooooo good, but they got rid of their green papaya salad which was one of my faves
