Mount Pleasant and Commercial Drive Bib Gourmands: Anh and Chi, Good Thief’s nhậu bar next door, and Lunch Lady’s Saigon street-soup kitchen.
Vietnamese cooking is widespread across Metro Vancouver, from everyday pho shops to chef-driven rooms. Michelin’s Bib Gourmand list has been especially kind to East Vancouver Vietnamese: Anh and Chi, Lunch Lady, and Good Thief. The stops below cover the Main Street sibling pair (sit-down family Vietnamese and the next-door nhậu cocktail bar) plus Lunch Lady on Commercial Drive. Expect herbs, fish sauce, and shareable starters; book or arrive early on weekends.
