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).

Since Aree’s lunch specials are such a great deal, we both ordered […]

Located on Kingsway & Salisbury Ave in Burnaby, it’s a bit far from us, but gave me a good excuse to do some shopping at Metrotown (Forever XXI!). On this visit, we feasted on tantalizing […]

The restaurant appeared to have respectable reviews, having won “Best Greek […]

Pho Thai Hoa (Kingsway) Review
