Mui Ngo Gai

This place was great. The food was well done and had a special extra to each dish - from the Vietnamese crepe that was crispy and coconuty to the beef noodle soup. Flavors were great. The service and ambience were also great. While pricey, the quality of food and service deserves it. I'd be coming back.

Such a cute family style restaurant! Great for sharing dishes. We got around 12 dishes for 7 people and were all EXTREMELY full. Their drinks are delicious - perfectly refreshing for the rich flavours. Didn't even get a chance to take pictures of most of the food because we were so busy eating!! Which is always a good sign... right? ;)

First time here, Vancouver is filled with so many good Vietnamese restaurants, Mũi Ngo Gai being one of them. The decor, the music, and ambiance made for a chill jazzy lunch. The servicing were friendly and fast. The food was delicious, the spring rolls fresh and crispy with a generous amount of meat filling. The beef stew with baguette was hearty and flavourful. The satay noodles was beautifully plated and had a good flavour. Although tasted a little too herbally for me, it was still good. Definitely recommend a try. I'll be back to try other items.

A must try restaurant which will blow you away with its amazing flavours. This restaurant is so unique and pretty inside and not to mention some of the dishes have flavours I never knew would be so good! * Prawn & papaya salad ($28) ~ the prawn and beef paired so well with the refreshing salad and the vinaigrette was so flavourful and the slight kick to it was delicious. I loved the crunch from the crisp because it paired so well to create the perfect bite. 9/10. * Mud crab Singapore chili crab sauce ($130.50) ~ so good I loved how good the sauce was it was flavourful with a nice kick. The sauce paired so well with the bread ($3). The bread was so soft and fresh it was delicious. 9/10. * Spicy frog with dried chili ($23) ~ this was delicious and yummy I loved how well it paired with the delicious porridge ($7). The porridge was thick and flavourful and despite the strong flavours from the frog it was not super salty but combined really nicely. 7/10. * Roti prata($5) ~ so flakey and crunchy. It was so good. I loved eating this with the chili mud crab sauce too! 9.5/10 * Chicken thread bean noodle soup ($22) ~ the noodles were so unique I loved the chewy noodles and the chicken was so soft and nice with the garlic chips on top. The broth was clear and light which paired nicely with all the other dishes. 6.5/10. * Whole sambal squid ($28) ~ this was delicious perfectly cooked not overly chewy. The onions were grilled perfectly and so good with the spicy flavourful sauce. 8/10. * Grilled eggplant with prawn ($28) ~ this was unique the prawns paired well with the eggplant. The tomato is a unique concept with the eggplant. 6/10.

We came here to utilize the birthday promotion they have from June to August 2024. You get discount based on your age, pretty good deal If you know older people. You do have to make a reservation 3 days in advance for this promotion. They have a limited menu for the birthday promotion. 1 page of Vietnamese dishes and 1 page for Singapore dishes. We decided to try the items from the Singapore menu. The staff told us they have 2 chefs and each of them specializes in each cuisine. The one cooking Singapore dishes worked in Singapore for 10 years. The Singapore dishes here are not the usual things you find in the other Singapore restaurants. You won't find laksa or chicken rice here. Instead you will get chili crab, also considered a National dish in Singapore. Many sambal dishes eg sambal kang kong, lady's fingers (okra), prawns, sotong (squid) etc. They even serve frog leg porridge, fish head curry and or luak (French oyster egg in menu). We had the tiger prawn in chili crab sauce with the fried mantous. The mantous could be fried further to get the crispiness. The chili crab sauce is pretty spot on. The seafood hor fun had the wok hei charred aroma and taste which was very legit. Ask for the green chilies (typically served in Singapore) to complete the experience. The sambal okra was also authentic. We ordered a bowl of rice to go with it. I loved the presentation of it. It came in a beautiful ceramic covered bowl and was more than enough to feed 2-3 people (small portion). The place was done up very nicely and reminded me of Saigon or an old world French decor. Not overly opulent with the chandeliers and velveteen cushioned chairs. Service could be faster but it was just one server on duty when we were there for lunch on a weekday. I'll go back again to try the other dishes. Prices are very much on the high side though. Street parking is available.
