Don’t Miss The Ultimate Vietnamese Snack Party In Chinatown

It’s snack o’clock, Vancouver—and Chinatown’s beloved Vietnamese gem DD Mau is throwing the most mouthwatering birthday bash of the season. On Sunday, April 20, the iconic eatery turns 7 and is celebrating the only way they know how: with delicious bites, creative cocktails, and seriously good vibes.

The one-night-only “All-Star Snack Party” is a tribute to fan favourites from over the years, featuring a curated menu of crave-worthy DD Mau classics. Expect to sink your teeth into the return of flavour-packed hits like their famous Corn Ribs, juicy Shrimp Skewers, Charlie’s Fried Chicken Sliders, and the umami-loaded Phở Gà Trộn (Chicken Pho Dry Noodle).

Wash it all down with their signature sippers like Grandma’s Tea—a smooth blend of Johnny Walker Black and Oolong—or the refreshing Hanoi Hannah, a vibrant mix of hibiscus-infused gin, lemongrass syrup, and lime juice (available spirit-free too). Plus, local DJs will be spinning all evening long to keep the party energy flowing.

Tickets are $59 and include a cocktail, all four snacks, and the full DD Mau vibe—tax and gratuity included. Additional eats and drinks from their regular menu (and some surprises!) will be available à la carte. Seatings are staggered, with times at 5:30 p.m., 6:00 p.m., 7:30 p.m., and 8:00 p.m., so you can choose your party pace.

Started by sibling duo the Tran family, DD Mau has become a staple in the city’s culinary scene since opening in 2012. What began as a bánh mì shop in Yaletown has grown into a vibrant full-service spot in the heart of Chinatown, known for authentic Southern and Northern Vietnamese flavours, community love, and some of the best beats around.

So, grab your foodie crew and join the celebration—this is one party you won’t want to miss. —Vita Daily
