Bun Bo hue that tastes legitimately home made. What more can you ask for. Love this place. Their meat balls are so good wonder who their supplier is. The quality of beef isnt the greatest but at the price one can’t complain at all. A big bowl costs like 8 bucks and change. I have done take out and it is such a good idea you bring a pot big enough ask for 30 dollars worth, you will be eating nothing but bun bo hue for 4 days — for me it was only for 2 people. He packs everything up for you like noodles herbs sprouts onions hot sauce you need nothing. I rarely ever give a place 5 stars but this place is such a gem. Don’t judge the place by the way it looks, the food is amazing. My only complaint is that they don’t seem to sell the spring rolls anymore he is always out of them I always ask… The spring rolls are so damn tasty here.

What a surprise! My usual satay/BBH spot was closed today but a friend recommended this place. Tucked away in a weird strip mall, with counter service only and ample separate seating. Ordered the medium #2BBH with Viet coffee. Very delicious and simple bowl of BBH. Ample selection of meat(meatballs, Viet sausage, pork knuckle and braised beef), perfect noodle to meat ratio with the usual bbh feeeexins and savoury simple broth. Will definitely be coming back for round 2.

I have been a patron here for the last 8 years. Their Bun Bo Hue recipe is more or less consistent all the time. Over the years I have introduced family and friends to this family run business and many have made this location their Bun Bo Hue location of choice. In addition to their fantastic noodle dish, this deli has a satay recipe that is just stellar! My best friend makes me being several bottles to Vancouver for him when ever I visit. I would strongly recommend anybody to try Bun Bo Hue Deli for themselves. Oh, make sure you’re not going out right after eating, the broth smell lingers pretty heavily on the breath and clothes.

Was told about this place by a Vietnamese friend whose mum recommended it to her — always a good start. I’ve never been to the store itself, but have had their bun bo hue that you can buy for takeout. How it works is that you bring a stockpot to fill with soup and they will ask you how much you want. We got $ 30 worth which I think they tell you will feed 6 people, but it is a LOT of food; 3 of us ate maybe a quarter of the amount given. You walk away with everything you need for bun bo hue at home: broth, noodles, meat, garnishes, etc. The broth is delicious and is really the star of the soup. I don’t claim to know what authentic bun bo hue tastes like, but this was very tasty and complex and not just spicy. I thought the broth was pale in comparison to version of this soup that I’ve tried before but don’t let it fool you, the chili oil that you add in is very spicy and you don’t need very much. The nice thing about their soup is that the spiciness is not just all heat, but a lot of flavour as well. Definitely recommend as a great takeout option, especially if you have a large group! And it’s nice that you don’t need to call ahead, pots of soup are always available for takeout.

Ever since I bought my first pot of soup from here about a month ago… I’ve been back almost weekend. Besides being a really good deal — $ 20 for a big pot of soup which includes meat, noodles and garnishes that can easily feed 6 people, the food is absolutely tasty and the staff are friendly to answer any questions you might have. I love the homestyle Vietnamese food that they have on the weekend and you can’t eat those at a restaurant! Portions begin at $ 15 and you can buy as much as you like — as long as you bring your own pot/paint bucket.
