The Butter Garlic Wings were flavourful and nicely spiced with hits of garlic, the skin was soft and fatty, but it was not crispy at all and was too greasy. The Pho Dac Biet was well-portioned. They were tender while the broth was clean and lightly seasoned. The most dominant flavour was the daikon.

We also got a Vermicelli Bowl with spring roll, lemongrass chicken and sausage. The spring roll was crunchy with a moist filling. The chicken was not succulent per se, but it was hardly dry either. Loved that the skin was well-rendered. It had was well-seasoned.

On another visit, I had the Bun Bo Hue. The broth was definitely spiciness. I would've liked to have some seafoodiness for more flavour. Although it was missing both the pork knuckle and blood, the meats were decently tender and well-portioned. We really enjoyed the Pork Belly with rice as the sauce was aromatic from the coconut milk and ever-so-slightly spicy with some sweetness.

We also had the Lemongrass Chicken, Pork Chop and Sausage on Rice. Texturally, the chicken was still moist despite a slightly dry exterior. As much as the pork chop seemed thin and dry, it was fairly tender and once again, well-marinated. The pork sausage had a nice rebound and tasted sweet. Overall, the two visits to Pho D'Lite had decent eats. Sure, it won't be confused for the best Vietnamese in town, but there is nothing else like it in the neighbourhood.

Pho D'Lite

2-4415 Skyline Drive, Burnaby, BC

The Good:

• Reasonable pricing

• Decent eats

• Okay service

The Bad:

• Of course there is better, but if you live nearby, this is rather convenient

• Can be rather busy and more than 30 minutes free parking is hard to find
