Do Chay - Vancouver

Ridiculously long wait time for server to tend to patrons. Several tables were actively waving for attention. Table next to us finally had to stand up to ask server to bring his meal, which had been waiting on the kitchen bar for quite some time. I’m sure his food was cold. Ironically, when server did come by the tables she was anxious to take away plates even though it was obvious that people were still eating.

I had a pleasant experience dining on modern Vietnamese cuisine at this restaurant. The dishes were a refreshing departure from the usual bowl of pho. The presentation was excellent and the food was delicious.

We ordered a variety of appetizers and main dishes for our party of 6. Everything was delicious, tasted genuine, and was not too spicy for those who are sensitive to heat. As someone who is well-versed in Southeast Asian cuisine, I really enjoyed the use of authentic spices in the dishes. The service was also good, with the server consistently checking in to refill our teapot. We will definitely be returning in the future!

The dishes on the menu didn’t really excite me. The soup dumplings are not real soup dumpling it was a nice attempt to incorporate Vietnamese flavours. There was a gelatin but it was warm. Their happy hour drink specials were good.

Really enjoyed our meal. Other reviewers that claim the portions are small, must have really big appetites or perhaps just didn't order enough dishes?? My husband and I left stuffed with enough leftovers to have dinner the following night! Dishes were creative and flavourful. We especially enjoyed the duck fry bread and the duck noir. Really good value for a nice Yaletown restaurant.
