Had to seat outdoors (but was covered) & all 6 of us were stuffed in the corner. I was uncomfortable because unable to have somethjng to lean on. Pho was great. Wagyu was on the side for you to dip and cook in your pho. The meat for the steak luc

My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at the lunch lady on one of our only evenings in Vancouver. We came in to celebrate before we went on a cruise and Lunch Lady did not disappoint. Ivy was our server and we also had the manager K-Daniel help
The Lunch Lady recently established a branch in Toronto.
Unfortunately the founder died upon arrival at Pearson airport while her vision of expanding in Toronto carried on. Decided to go to the original location while in Vancouver, managed to snag a reservation but only for the 1130 seating on Saturday (
Came on Saturday for lunch.
Surprisingly we were able to get a table around 1230 as it wasn't that busy. We ordered the steak lac luc and their Saturday special: BÁNH CANH CUA. The Banh canh cua is the dungeness crab, tiger prawn, quail egg, tapioca noodles, in rich cra

We put our names on the waitlist for 2 and we were told it would be another 2hrs until we get a spot but it only took 30m for us to get a call! We were sat at the bar and it was a little loud because of how busy it was. I was expecting the food to b

It was my first time visiting the famous Lunch Lady in Vancouver! I havent been to the new Toronto location yet so cannot really compare. This place was amazing! We ordered beef carpaccio, jasmine rice beer, taro chip (recommended by the server - goo
I ordered chicken with a fried egg yet when the fish served
I ordered chicken with a fried egg yet when the fish served I found that the fried egg was just a piece of plastic sheet hard to chew. Is this called a Michelin star rated restaurant?
Lunch lady blew me away.
Great service, great vibe, AMAZING food. I normally don't think much about highly recommended pho places because you can't go wrong with pho. It always slaps regardless of a high-end or homey aesthetic. I was so wrong about Lunch Lady t
Food was great.
Service was good. Ambience was blah. The bathrooms threw me over the edge (see pic). Nasty wet floors and footprints coming out of the bathroom too. I'm glad I ate before I used the restroom. I'm forever traumatized. They always say you can
All went well until a visit to the restroom 🤢

Praised by Michelin, Anthony Bourdain, and now me.
I know this would be my go-to spot if I lived here. The meat in the carpaccio was so soft and I love any limey marinade + crunchy topping. That steak luc lac no words. Imagine the best bites of steak tossed in this insane buttery sauce. They got the
A great Toronto restaurant
Terrific Ossington restaurant. The five of us were seated in a booth. Despite apparent growing pains, the service, food and ambience was 5 star. Obviously committed to delivering a great dining experience.
Authentic
Wanted to try this spot after being a fan of Anthony Bourdain and his love for the original establishment in Vietnam. This place does not disappoint and does bring authentic Vietnamese food and pho to Vancouver. The mural outside of the restaurant is
A casual, but mighty tasty meal
The flavours here are authentic and bold. We really loved the grilled octopus and the soft shell crab lettuce wraps. You won't be disappointed
If it’s good enough for Gracie Abrams!
Our daughter is a big Swiftie - so when she saw what Gracie Abrams ordered from the Lunch Lady we had to eat here - this was the only reservation we made before we left home. The staff were lovely - from the hostess at the head of the line outside,
Absolutely fantastic; best Vietnamese food outside of Vietnam!
Absolutely fantastic; best Vietnamese food we've had outside of Vietnam!. Everything was excellent, fresh, tasty, well-presented. They're currently Michelin Bib Gourmand, but working hard to get their own Michelin Star. Great service, wi
Good food but very uncomfortable seating
The food was excellent. The service was excellent. The food was a bit expensive but it was delicious. We were seated outside on the patio. The tables were tiny but the stools were unbearable. There were four adults all of whom were squirming and shif
Best Vietnamese food, just one awful service received.
I had take out once with The Lunch Lady and it was amazing. So today my husband and I decided to go to the restaurant and dine in in person. We made a reservation and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. The food was exceptional and I would easi
Fun vibes and great food on The Drive
I took my wonderful wife out for our annual Christmas time meal. I am glad we went here. First all the ambience was fun and awesome. The staff were so cool and professional. We had the tofu, veggie spring roll; and I added the octopus. All the starte
Lots of MSG in soup makes me feel sick
Very crowded restaurant. I just ate a couple bite of a beef noodle. There was lots of msg in it and I was sick for the whole afternoon. The server limited us to finish our meal within 30 minutes and the seat was so uncomfortable. Worst Vietnamese
Connect with users posting reservations for The Lunch Lady Vancouver

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Lunch Lady Vancouver at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Lunch Lady Vancouver page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at The Lunch Lady Vancouver to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Lunch Lady Vancouver!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
