Our Sweet & Sour Fish Soup (Canh Chua Cá) is a beloved Vietnamese classic at Pho Binh Minh Restaurant. This tamarind-based broth is perfectly balanced between sweet and sour, filled with tender fish, ripe tomatoes, crunchy bean sprouts, pineapple, and aromatic Vietnamese herbs. A taste of southern Vietnam right here in Winnipeg.
Canh Chua Cá is a traditional southern Vietnamese soup that has become a favourite among regulars at Pho Binh Minh Restaurant. The broth gets its distinctive sweet-and-sour character from tamarind paste, balanced with a touch of sugar and fish sauce. Tender pieces of fresh fish are simmered gently in this aromatic broth along with tomatoes, pineapple chunks, okra, and bean sprouts.
The soup is finished with fresh herbs — Vietnamese coriander, rice paddy herb, and sliced chilli — that add layers of fragrance and colour. Served with steamed jasmine rice on the side, this is a comforting, home-style dish that captures the warmth of Vietnamese family cooking. Regulars seeking classic Vietnamese flavours order this again and again.

"One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Winnipeg. Fresh ingredients cooked by a Vietnamese mom that takes pride in her dishes. An extraordinary experience for very little money."

"Portion sizes were generous, service was great. The place has like a 170-item menu. Add wonderful service, what is not to like."
