" Had the best Vietnamese food here! I highly recommend the Bun Bo Hue; it’s rich, delicious, and feels authentic. The family ambiance adds to the charm, making it a cozy place to enjoy a meal. They need to work on their wait time, as it took a while for my order, but it was worth it when I finally tasted the food. I will be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Trung Nguyen is quite a hidden gem! From the moment I stepped in, the cozy and slightly rustic setting made me feel instantly at home. The food, oh my, absolutely delicious! I had the seafood noodle soup that was rich and flavorsome. The owners' hospitality was warm and friendly. My only concern is that the place can get quite busy, and I had to wait a bit for my food, but it was well worth it. I’ll be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find! Trung Nguyen Cafe truly serves authentic Vietnamese cuisine that brings the essence of Vietnam to Vancouver. The pho here is exceptional, and the broth is unparalleled in flavor. I particularly enjoyed the Bun Rieu, which was loaded with fresh ingredients. The couple who operates the cafe are incredibly warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home. The only drawback was the small space can feel cramped during busy hours, but who can complain when the food is this good? I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stumbled upon this cafe and fell in love! Everything I tried was bursting with flavor. The shrimp soup was particularly good, and the friendly service added to the experience. It can get packed around lunchtime, so be prepared to wait a bit for your food. Although cash only is a bit inconvenient, the authenticity of the food makes up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Trung Nguyen Cafe has become my go-to spot for authentic Vietnamese food! The bun rieu was rich and very satisfying. Although my friends found the wait longer than expected, I thought it was decent given the flavor of the dishes. I appreciate the love and attention that goes into each meal. Perfect for weekend cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" For authentic Vietnamese food, Trung Nguyen Cafe cannot be beaten! The phở is nothing short of incredible, and the family atmosphere really adds to the dining experience. I particularly enjoyed their banh canh cua, which was flavorful and generously portioned. A downside is that they only take cash, but that’s a minor inconvenience for such stellar food. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting and I was blown away! The flavors of the pho were unlike any I've had before; it was authentic and hearty. The small, family-run restaurant had a cozy atmosphere that felt inviting. I ordered the banh canh cua, and it was fantastic. The downside? They only accept cash, but I can live with that for such a delicious meal. I will definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)
