Hanoi Old Quarter is one of the best vietnamese restaurants in Vancouver for pho, especially if you want a strong option in Vancouver.

Hanoi Old Quarter is doing something Vancouver's Vietnamese scene genuinely needs more of: anchoring itself in northern Vietnamese cooking without softening the edges for an unfamiliar crowd.

Editorial review•May 5, 2026

Hanoi Old Quarter is doing something Vancouver's Vietnamese scene genuinely needs more of: anchoring itself in northern Vietnamese cooking without softening the edges for an unfamiliar crowd. Most local Vietnamese spots default to the southern playbook — sweeter broths, heavier herb loads, the familiar Saigon vocabulary. This room's menu centers on Hà Nội tradition, which tends toward subtler, more austere flavors that reward attention rather than announce themselves immediately. The price point sits at genuinely affordable across the board, which means regulars can treat it like what it apparently functions as: a Tuesday-lunch room, a family-splitting-dishes kind of place rather than a destination event. The Bún Chả Hà Nội is, by most accounts, the clearest argument for the kitchen's focus — char-grilled pork patties and belly served in nuoc cham alongside vermicelli, prepared in the northern style where the dipping broth is kept sharp and clean rather than sweetened. The Phở Sườn Bò Đặc Biệt is built around beef rib, a cut known for lending body and richness to a long-cooked broth; diners consistently point to this bowl as the one that distinguishes the kitchen from generic pho operations. The Vietnamese Crepe, Bánh Xèo, is described in its traditional form — a turmeric-yellow rice-flour shell meant to be broken and wrapped with cool lettuce and herbs, a textural contrast as much as a flavor one. The Crabmeat & Pork Spring Rolls, Chả Nem Cua Bể, are reported to lean savory and tightly constructed. The Turmeric Fish rounds out the menu and is regarded as a more approachable entry point into northern Vietnamese cooking for those less familiar with the regional style. For anyone new to the menu, the pairing diners return to most is the Bún Chả alongside the Bánh Xèo — that combination is said to represent the kitchen's point of view as well as anything. Confirm payment methods before you go.

Editorial review by Marcus Chen

Saan Saan is one of Vancouver's most intentional acts of preservation — a cafe where the building, the menu, and the mission are all the same argument.
