What User doesn't like about Five Elements Cafe:
Who trains staff to mop the floors while one is eating. It was 30 minutes until closing and I guess the guy wanted to leave promptly. But, c'mon! I'm eating...and you're mopping right next to my table.I had the sate pho with beef. Ample, reasonably priced, and tasty.But, c'mon! Using a wet mop doesn't clean anything. It just spreads whatever's on the floor around in an even manner.Better training and hygiene, please! View all feedback. What User likes about Five Elements Cafe:
We went to 5 Elements hoping to get a good meal at a good price, and we weren't disappointed! We had the chicken satay stir fry, and the curry chicken stirfry. They were ready in great time, and the food was brought piping hot to our table! Delicious food, I would definitely return to try more from the menu... There was a lot of choice! View all feedback.

Recently visited Five Elements Cafe on Commercial Drive for the first time.

I was really disappointed in the dishes that I ordered with my wife.

I love my pho and have been around the block but THIS pho is my favourite so far.

Amazing food for the senses. Victoria and her family always make you feel welcome. The home made gelato is to die for.

Had the Tom Yum Hot Sour soup and a Lemongrass Vitenamese Sub, both were delish, but the soup was awesome! Can't wait to come back and try more (y)
