Best Beef Sate in Calgary by a mile, it’s a fusion with Coconut Milk so it’s not traditional, but you’ll be hard pressed to find a better Vietnamese dish in Calgary. I’ve eaten the Beef State at literally every other “best” Vietnamese place in Calgary, don’t even bother saying you’ve had better.
Sate beef Pho is amazing and different from all the rest! Keeps me coming back, a few times a month. The rest of the menu is the same-old Vietnamese that you get everywhere.
Busy on weekdays between 12-1 get there early or later..
I've been frequenting Noodle King about once a week for the past few years, each time looking to satisfy my Asian comfort food craving. First off, the one lady (I can't remember her name) will take your table's order for 10 (even with modifications to your dish) and nail it each time. It seems like the staff really takes pride in and from what I've learned, they are a legitimately hard working family operation. Somewhere I'm glad to spend my lunch money.
Also, It doesn't hurt that the food is consistently satisfying. Their best seller is the Satay Beef Noodle Pho. I have about 3-4 other go to dishes that are pretty unique to Noodle King. The Bun Bo Hue, Noodle King Special, Beef Stew with Noodles, and the Noodle King Special Rice Vermicelli bowl. They are really generous with the amount of protein/vegetables for each dish as well as accommodating for whatever type of noodle suits your taste/texture. Their Banh Canh (Thick rice noodle) is uniquely delicious and I have yet to find it anywhere else in the city. Be sure to beat the lunch hour rush (noon) if you don't want to be waiting for a table. Also if you are there enough, the ladies will probably remember your favourite dish!
Really good beef satay and seafood satay! Service sucks but the noodle is still worth it. It has a nice peanuty broth. I must have this at least once a month.
Located just off of 32nd Avenue on 23rd Street in the N.E. (in the same strip mall as Thai Boat), this hidden gem of a Vietnamese restaurant is my friend's favorite in this area. I think it is because her family knows the owners, and the food is pretty good here. This is my and my friend's default restaurant when we want to get together for lunch or dinner. We have been coming here a few times a year since they first open at this location.
Love this place, I believe they used to be the owners of noodle world on 17 se. Consistent dishes always get #61. Highly recommended for Vietnamese if you are in the area
I get takeout from noodle king about once a month and I've always been happy with the dishes. The restaurant is busy at lunch and if you order takeout be sure to order it by 11:45 to avoid a long wait. The soups are delicious as well as the vermicelli and rice dishes.
Excellent food. I had the vegetable rice noodle soup and my husband and kids had the grilled pork. We all raved about our food. They also served the kids food with smaller dishes and fun spoons. I would definitely recommend this place for families or anyone really.
Best Pho I've had yet.. quick service.food is always on point . the lady's working there are always very nice and helping . I am starting to become a regular because the food is so good . Their Viet subs are good too
Usually come here often for lunch, the staff are very nice and we get seated right away. Food is served quick and I'd recommend the seafood Banh canh, cooked perfectly!
Phenomenal food! We ordered a vermicelli dish with one of the best spring rolls we’ve ever had and my the pho sate! Delicious! Highly recommend.
Best Vietnamese restaurant in my opinion and I've tried many! The marinate on their pork (pork vermicelli dish) is amazing! It's charred but still has a little sweetness to it. I also think they have the best chicken Satay noodle soup.
#21... happens to be my favorite number and the number of this EPIC VERSION OF PHO SATE. SUPER PEANUT-Y & COCONUT-Y. Definitely come and try it. I can definitely understand what the hypes about!
I waited 4.5 years to have there amazing beef and peanut noodle soup(was literally dreaming about it) , after i had it … my eyes started watering… probably from that extra spices I added…so to the question how good it is , my ( and I’ll point out word MY) answer is this ,-“ Every time i finish a A bowl of that soup im thinking of going to a washroom to throw up just that i could fit another one in.” ( sorry for being Gross but that’s how much I love it)
Place itself is clean and cosy, ladies who work there, might seem to be loud at the first look , but they are very friendly, kind and will take care of you!
Definitely recommend to try it out !
P.S sorry if i made grammar mistakes, English is not my first language :/
Best Peanut Sate Beef Pho Soup you'll ever have!!!! I've been coming here for over 6 years and the staff know who you are, what you want, and make a delicious meal. I'm a weekly regular here.
This is a good place to have a, quick lunch. Services are fast and efficient. The food taste amazing and the portions are properly sized for a single individual.
