Broken Rice Restaurant - Burnaby

I was introduced to this restaurant recently. We came for lunch. OMG! I had the beef ribs with vermicelli noodles. It was so flavourful because I could tell the meat was marinated. My friends tasted it in their meat dishes too. We also shared the crispy spring roll and the cassava fries. I loved the fries because it's something different. The portion was too big for me to finish. The prices are very reasonable. The decor is beautiful inside. Location is off Hastings and Gilmore. Can't wait to come back to try the other yummy dishes!

This is THE Vietnamese restaurant in the Heights. Fresh crispy flavorful combos, great service, and open air (when appropiate)

I recently had dinner at Broken Rice with family members. The service was excellent - it was fast, friendly and knowledgeable and our teapots were re-filled frequently.The prawn mango salad was also excellent and I highly recommend it. A couple of us enjoyed the tamarind duck and others also enjoyed the crepes although they were a bit of a challenge to assemble and eat neatly.I don't usually care for fried spring rolls but the ones at Broken Rice are very nice. My husband was underwhelmed, however, with the lemongrass chicken.I would definitely return to this restaurant to try some of their other dishes.

At times, the servers were too focused on chatting amongst themselves.
