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.

Visited DD MAU for their $40 three-course menu on Feb 3rd. The service was attentive, the ambiance was cozy, and the food was enjoyable overall; the banana cake dessert was a genuine highlight for me. So there’s plenty to like here.
My issue is with the Damn Good Chicken Rice dish and its association with Hoi An. To their credit, the turmeric-infused, chicken-stock rice with its signature golden color was on point. But Hoi An-style chicken rice is more than just the rice. It’s the tangy, refreshing pickled carrot and green papaya that cuts through the richness, and the ginger-garlic fish sauce dip that layers in heat and sweetness. Those elements weren’t there, and without them, the dish feels incomplete and monotonous.
I understand the restaurant didn’t explicitly label it “Hoi An-style chicken rice,” and I respect the creative freedom to localize a dish. But if you’re invoking the name Hoi An, you’re setting an expectation. If the dish is going to be a reinterpretation, just drop the reference — it’s that simple.
For comparison, here’s a photo of Hoi An chicken rice from another Vietnamese restaurant’s takeout order. Even with my amateur plating, the difference in completeness and authenticity speaks for itself.

Dine Out Vancouver 2026 is officially in full swing! We hit up DD Mau Chinatown for their $40 3-course menu and it did not disappoint.
The Smashing Rice Paper was a refreshing, textural start, but the Fried Sticky Rice was the absolute MVP–crispy, savory, and so comforting. For mains, the Hà Nội Style Grilled Meatballs and Lemongrass Chicken Vermicelli were bright and packed with flavor.
We wrapped things up with the Banana Cake (a must-try!) and felt so well-looked after by the staff. The vibe is perfectly “Chinatown cool” with a modern Asian aesthetics. We had a wonderful time! The Dine Out menu ends Feb 3, 2026.

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.

After reading several reviews about the best restaurants in Chinatown, we decided to try DD Mau. They did not disappoint! Perhaps the best part of the experience was the phenomenal customer service. Our server, Leo, walked us through the top menu items and provided helpful recommendations. He also shared a historical perspective of Chinatown that we truly appreciated. We ordered the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup and the Damn Good Chicken & Rice. The chef greeted us at the table to ensure that everything was tasting good. We couldn’t resist ordering a banana cake dessert. DD Mau is definitely worth the visit when in the area!

The food was pretty good, but portions could have been larger for the prices. You are paying somewhat for the nice ambiance and bar options over what a hole in the wall would provide. Would have liked the server to have brought food sequentially, the starter was brought at the same time as the mains and there wasn’t room on the table for all of the plates.

Coffee was super rich and flavorful, the chicken banh mi was the best I ever had! Ingredients were very fresh and the chicken super juicy. Waitress was also so kind and helpful! The place has a calm and warm vibe. Would recommend!

One of my favourite places in town for Vietnamese. We got the wings, fried sticky rice, smashing rice paper and the chicken vermicelli bowl.
The wings and fried sticky rice are absolute must gets. The vermicelli was a bit underwhelming
