I absolutely love DD Mau! Every visit has been an amazing experience from start to finish. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared — you can truly taste the quality and care in every bite. What really makes this place stand out, though, is the staff. They are consistently warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. You’re greeted with real smiles, and they go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect. Whether it’s answering questions about the menu, making recommendations, or just creating a great vibe, they make you feel valued and appreciated as a guest. The atmosphere is upbeat and inviting, and it’s clear the team takes pride in what they do. It’s one of those spots that feels special every single time. Highly recommend — 5 stars all the way!

DD Mau in Chinatown is always a solid choice when I’m craving Vietnamese comfort food. The squid ball skewers were super flavourful and perfectly cooked with a great bouncy texture. The chicken pho was good— warm and comforting but was a bit light in terms of the broth flavour. We also had the spring rolls, which were tasty and crispy. Overall a great date spot for a satisfying meal in Chinatown.

We came here for our wedding anniversary, and had no regrets whatsoever! The staff were polite yet enthusiastic, and we heard from three different people how glad they were we chose to spend our anniversary with them (word travels fast!). Our waitress Quincee was super knowledgeable and made all the right recommendations for us. She helped us navigate their cocktail menu so that we both had something in line with what we like, and she helped us make great food choices that fit what we were looking for (and respecting a Gluten free diet at that!). We had Golden Basa Rolls as a starter (shared that), then I had the Smashing Rice Paper and Fried Spring Rolls, and my wife had the Damn Good Chicken and Rice. They surprised us with a Banana Cake for dessert. We flew in from Toronto on our way to Whistler, and stopped here on the recommendation of two of my friends - I will be going home and thanking them profusely for the recommendation! We would eat here again without any hesitation. Great attentive friendly service, amazing atmosphere (not too loud), and food that was unique and yummy. Very highly recommended.

Loved the Bun Bo Hue here, super flavourful and rich in taste! The broth was really good, but a bit too spicy for me personally. I probably should’ve asked for a lower spice level The portion size was a little small compared to the price, but overall still tasty and worth trying if you enjoy spicy food!

If you’re looking for the best Vietnamese restaurant in Vancouver, your search ends here. I have no doubt in saying this is the best in the city. The atmosphere is simply charming. From the moment you walk in, you feel that warmth that makes you want to stay. The space is impeccable: everything thought out down to the smallest detail, clean, beautiful, and welcoming. The music sets the perfect mood, striking just the right balance for relaxed conversation while you enjoy your meal. It also features a beautifully designed bar, with a talented bartender crafting a variety of drinks to accompany the evening. But what truly makes the difference are the people. The staff are always so friendly, attentive, and proactive the kind who notice what you need before you even ask. You feel genuinely welcome, as if you were in the home of someone who loves to host. And the food? Impeccable. The chef is clearly passionate about what they do, and it shows in every dish. Authentic, fresh, balanced flavors a true journey into Vietnamese cuisine without ever leaving Vancouver. If I could give more than five stars, I would. I’ll be back many times and recommend it wholeheartedly to everyone. A special place that deserves all the recognition.

It was amazing! Great food and awesome service! I got avocado rolls which were very fresh! made to order with a peanut sauce. For entree I got chicken fried rice and it was delicious and I appreciate that they used free range chicken. The banana cake was to die for! Omg. All in all a great experience! I will come back when in Vancouver!

Stopped by DD Mau during a weekday lunch and it was fairly quiet, so I was seated right away. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Since the menu is quite unique, I would have loved a bit more explanation or recommendations from the server, especially for first-time visitors. The food and drink selection is creative and different from what you susually find at Vietnamese restaurants. I ordered the crispy fried sticky rice and chicken rice, and both were delicious. Portions were good and prices felt reasonable for the quality. For drinks, I tried the Tra Da mocktail. It was refreshing and interesting, although a little more sour than I expected. The restaurant has a nostalgic vibe that reminded me of casual eateries in Vietnam during the early 2000s. It's a fun atmosphere and definitely stands out from many other Vietnamese restaurants in Vancouver. Street parking is available right in front of the restaurant through the pay station system, which is convenient. The only downside is the location. Being in Chinatown, there are quite a few homeless people around the area, and the streets can feel a bit uncomfortable, especially at night or if you're walking alone. That's obviously not the restaurant's fault, but it does affect the overall experience. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit and will definitely come back to try more items on the menu.
