Van Son Vietnamese Cuisine

Full menu with wide variety of Vietnamese food. Phở and Vietnamese Sub plus stir fry, rice and much more. I love their stir fry noodle and also sweet and sour fish soup. Price is average, not expensive. Tasty good, comfy environment and free parking.

This place is really good, fresh ingredients, super nice staff… the number 64 is very delicious

Delicious food! Great service and people. The music is also an added bonus. We ordered number 64 and 3. Very tasty and for a reasonable price!

I always find their food to be amazing taste and quality. Service is very fast and decent priced!
Recommend to anyone

We ate here for the first time yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised. Nice clean, modern atmosphere. The food was very good. We had vermicelli bowl with various meat & beef soup. Dessert (deep fried bananas & ice cream) was delicious!
We will go there again soon.

I went to Van Son for lunch with a friend. It was a Sunday, so the place wasn’t full. We ordered a couple of spring rolls and then got a large hot pot each. The food came quickly and we both really enjoyed the hot pot, which was full of meat, vegetables, and other noodly goodness. It was nice and spicy (always good for clearing the sinuses) and in the end I was very happy with the meal.

Used to go to this location before the renos. Miss the pink walls (haha) but the food is still good and the staff is very friendly and efficient. Just today I was in to grab a quick takeout order and while I waited they sat me in a booth and made sure I had a full water glass, very polite and kind staff. The atmosphere is friendly, it’s clean, and the food is good. Nothing to complain about really. There are a few things I miss from the old menu but the new menu tastes just fine. Like another reviewer said, they’re light on the spicy stuff, but hot sauce is provided for those of us who like more kick. I’ll be back, as always.

We eat a lot in the area and notice this location was getting renovated and new ownership. We decide to give it a try. Good sized portions and there price a completive with other Vietnamese restaurants. One thing we really liked is they have there free own parking lot. There are other Vietnamese restaurants close by but packing is always a challenge. The staff had energy and always around checking in on us and others. Will be back soon when in the area.

Van Son just had their grand opening on last weekend. They took over Vietnam Palace Grill — I miss it already! For their grand opening special, you get a spring roll for each person — which is a great deal! Their spring rolls taste good and a fair size. The restaurant has undergone a total renovation. Those pink walls have been replaced with beige, white and black colours. There are more tables & booths in the restaurant. The washroom is completely new. Huge menu.
Now for the food. We ordered the following:
#31 — Satay Beef Noodle Soup — good broth but where is the satay taste? I’m missing that great peanutty, satay broth and where’s the spice? The soup just needs to have more flavour. Lots of rice noodles for a regular bowl of $ 9.95. Big plate of fresh bean sprouts, mint leaves, lime and thai red chilli peppers came with this order. Add this to your soup. The beef needs to be cut more thinly as I found my beef all curled up in my broth.
#38 — Rice Noodle, Vegetables, Shrimp, Crabstick & Chicken in Soup — For $ 10.95 — regular bowl. The soup again needs more flavour.
#16 — Vermicelli topped with Satay Beef and Spring Rolls — For $ 10.50. Again, not enough satay spice. Need to kick it up a notch! Miss the Vietnam Palace Grill’s Satay Beef Bun — so good!
#23 — Rice Crepes with Pork Sausage — For $ 9.95 — Interesting dish — rice crepes that kind of stuck together and big round pieces of pork sausage, topped with chopped mint leaves, boiled bean sprouts and some other garnish, with a condiment of fish sauce. Pour the sauce over the dish. Not bad. Need hot sauce (thank goodness, this was available in a squeegee bottle on your table).
We also ordered the 3 bean coconut drink — nice and refreshing for a hot summer’s day — for $ 5.50.
All in all, my common thread in here is that the food needs to have more flavour, more spice .if the food is rated «hot» with a chili icon on their menu.
