  • Right across from Chinook Centre is a wonderful place that beckons me every time I'm in the mood for a nice, hot bowl of Pho Dac Biet or hearty Bo Kho (beef stew). Golden Bell is one of my favourite places for this Vietnamese comfort food, especially as the weather starts to get chilly and I hunger for something soothing. I grab a seat in the huge dining area and look over the vast menu. Hot tea is like a welcoming hug from my adopted family for the next hour. One of my favourite starters is banh cuon, soft and tender rice noodle sheets with layers of seasoned minced pork and wood ear mushroom rolled together and served with a fresh salad of sprouts and Thai basil. Dipped in the nuoc cham, the subtle fish sauce essence and hint of sweetness complement nicely with the lightness of the noodle and filling. Pho is hard to pull off. You can have plenty of great toppings and additions, but they mean nothing if the broth doesn't taste good. Golden Bell's pho broth is a meaty, aromatic delicious broth that is a pleasure to enjoy. It truly unites the elements of the cavernous bowl of goodies inside. In my case, I love the thinly sliced beef that cooks as the broth is poured over top. Add to that some chewy tripe and tendon and I'm sold. The beef stew bowl is a hearty assortment of meaty beef chunks with coarsely cut carrots, chewy rice noodles and potato. The whole thing is a nice change from the house special pho if you're ever in the mood for a little something different. The broth is a soupy version of North American Stew, but so so flavourful and satisfying. I should also mention the banh mi (submarine sandwich). They do a couple kinds of banh mi (chicken and beef satay) and though I usually prefer the traditional style with the assorted cold cuts and pate, this version is hot, juicy and so unbelievably tasty. You can even order it as a half and half so you can try the best of both worlds. There are a lot of Vietnamese places in this city. Some that do banh mi well, some that are killing it with their pho, but I have to say that Golden Bell has a solid hold on everything. From their fresh starters to their generous bowls of bun with whatever grilled item you fancy, the folks here are making some seriously good food.
