Linh Café - Vancouver, British Columbia

Je suis impressionnée par la variété des plats (Pho, Beef Wellington, escargot, etc.). C’est rarement qu’on voit telle diversité dans un même restaurant! De plus, le service était excellent!!! On était servies par Lily, elle est toujours souriante et très gentille! Je serai de retour certainement!

I’ve been wanting to try Linh Café since 2022, and I finally got the chance to do so with my buddy!

The place was surprisingly large, and the fact that the storefront was under a bridge makes the place look even grander. The French-inspired interior design was also quite nice.

We both ordered pho; I ordered the mini and she ordered regular size. In my opinion, mini is good enough if you’re not too hungry. I added in bone marrow and egg to my bowl too, and while I think it’s fine without these ingredients, adding them was a nice touch.

Phở Bò - Mini Size ($11), Regular Size ($18.90)
Beef noodle soup with braised AAA Alberta beef brisket and rice noodles
Add: bone marrow $2.50, sous vide egg $2.95

The pho came with a jar chilli garlic vinegar to add on, which is a first for me. This is Northern style pho, so there’s no lime or a bunch of herbs, contrary to Southern pho. However, the Northern pho I had in Vietnam (Phở Dậu) was accompanied by a bowl of raw onions to which you would add sugar, fish sauce, lime, and hot sauce. Anyways, I thought that the chilli vinegar went surprisingly very well with the pho, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I would also say that the taste was great, and similar to Phở Dậu. I’d introduce my parents and come back here again. The noodles themselves could have been better (softer), but I don’t think we can really get that in Canada.

A little off the beaten path, but absolutely worth the visit. We had the fried frog legs, escargot, and mussels—all of which were delicious—along with a variety of other dishes. The bread came out warm and fresh, and the service was attentive throughout. Overall, a very enjoyable meal.

Came here on my 20th wedding anniversary. Only been here at this new location a few times and its been great everytime. We went to the old location more pre covid. It was definitely more convenient. Their argentina shrimp is my favorite, just make sure to dip the bread in it 😋. My wife loves their pate baguette sticks. Tried their pork chop today 👌. Their pho is always good....and they managed to keep the price same for many years.

Ordered the phở bò and loved it. The noodles were real rice noodles (not the kind mixed with flour, which a lot of restaurants tend to use). The broth was very clean and flavorful, and the scallions were so fresh that the whole combination was very tasty. The mussels were on the fresh side as well. The ambiance and overall service were very welcoming and friendly.
Drinks were ok.

One point for improvement would be the table located right by the staircase, where we were seated. The level of the table sits directly next to the stairs, with people’s shoes constantly passing by, which raises some hygiene concerns. It would be much better if the table was set a bit farther from the staircase, or covered the staircase on the table-side if strained by space.

I love Linh cafe!! The pho here is so delicious and you have the option to customize the pho. I added bone marrow and an egg in mine and it was delicious, loved the broth as well. The bread dishes are also really yummy and I loved the liver pate!! Good service as well and the place is super cute. Also it was really busy on a weekend around dinner time without a reservation!

環境很漂亮，東西也好吃。
附贈的麵包很美味！招牌Pho必點，敢吃辣的記得搭配餐廳提供的醬汁。最驚豔的是羊排，很多人推薦的田雞腿雖然也好吃但有點油。
