Ba Le Deli & Bakery (Kingsway) Review
Unfamiliar with banh mi? Well, they’re traditional Vietnamese sandwiches served on French baguettes. We’ve had authentic banh mi from street food carts in Vietnam (you can read about it here). If you’re a banh mi fan and live in Vancouver, then you’ve most likely been to a Ba Le location. There are three of these [...]
Ba Le Vietnamese (Kona, Hawaii)
We happened upon Ba Le Vietnamese in the Kona Coast Shopping Center one morning while searching for a quick bite to eat before we hit the beach. We were intrigued. The restaurant had a similar logo to the Ba Le locations in Vancouver (Kingsway, Chinatown, and Surrey) – although we’re not certain whether or not [...]
Tung Hing Bakery Review – Vietnamese Sub (Bánh Mì) Sandwiches
Tung Hing Bakery was founded almost thirty years ago by Executive Chef Lien, and it was one of the first Chinese/Vietnamese bakeries to open in Toronto, ON, in 1985.

Phnom Penh Review – Vancouver’s Famous Cambodian & Vietnamese Restaurant
Phnom Penh (or “Gum Bean” as it is referred to in Cantonese) is a legendary Vietnamese/Cambodian restaurant in Vancouver. We’ve been eating here for what seems like over ten years, so I’m not sure how we haven’t reviewed it yet! Since the days when Gary and I would visit his brother and sister here on [...]
Pho Gizmo Review – Bánh Mì On The Westside
There are slim pickings when it comes to good Pho on Vancouver’s Westside and even less to choose from when it comes to great Bánh Mì joints. Some refer to it as “the decent Vietnamese food divide” with Eastside restaurants serving far superior, yet less expensive dishes. Pho Gizmo, however, appears to be an exception [...]
Gold Train Express II (West Broadway) Vietnamese Restaurant Review
A few people mentioned Gold Train Express II was a decent pho restaurant in Kits. It’s not. This restaurant is confusing. Is it a Quizno’s? A baby store? A money exchange? An English pub? “Hot Taste of Vietnamese Food” is their main signage, but a smaller sidewalk sign reads “Pho Gold Train Express”. What’s the [...]
