🍜🔥 Off-Radar Eats #4 - Northern Vietnamese night at CHÉN

Why we picked it

**🍜🔥 Off-Radar Eats #4 - Northern Vietnamese night at CHÉN** **Small group restaurant meetup. Everyone pays their own bill.** **Short summary** Our little food journey has already taken us through Italian, dumplings, and Persian food. Now we’re going Vietnamese - but not the “same old pho place” version. This stop is CHÉN in Burnaby Heights, a newer Northern Vietnamese spot people seem genuinely excited about. The menu looks bigger and more interesting than a casual “grab pho and leave” night: grilled pork vermicelli, crispy crab parcels, fermented shrimp paste platters, spicy noodle soup, chicken pho, egg coffee - the kind of place where the table can actually explore. That’s what I want from this series: small group, good food, real conversation, and places that make the city feel a little bigger. **Our food journey so far :** **✅Caffè La Tana - Italian night on Commercial Drive** **✅Dinesty - dumpling night on Robson** **✅Akbarjoojeh - Persian night in North Van** Next stop: *
