Love the satay beef pho! The broth is tasty; it's got a little kick but I wouldn't call it spicy. The beef isn't the most tender but it gets the job done. Dumplings are good. The wonton soup with egg noodles is also quite good. It is very affordable so worth checking out.
This place opened up in 1999 -- when the Y2K scare was going on, does anyone remember? Hard to believe it's been 17 years. That tells you all you need to know. That the food is actually decent. All pho, all the time
The food at this restaurant was good and I was pretty happy with the value here as well. My rice and pork chop dish was very flavourful when compared to most Vietnamese places in Calgary. The only negative aspect was the amount of seafood in the seafood noodle soup: I really wish there was less imitation crab and more shrimp/fish/squid. Other than the service was good and the atmosphere was pleasant. It's a nice little place to go for a fairly cheap meal.
Pretty good Vietnamese food. They have the regular selection of pho, noodle bowls and stir fry. Service was friendly as food prepared quickly. Well priced. Would come back again. Good stop if you're in the area.
Service is standard. Food is good. Lots of tables. Free parking. May be overwhelmed at lunchtime sometimes so be prepared to wait. Good neighbourhood but has crime at night associated with adjacent LRT station and liquor store.
Not the best veitnamese. But it's decent for the price and there is never an issue getting a table. Service is on par with most Asian restaurants.
Gluten Free Friendly!. I like this place because I know when I ask for gluten free, my meal is safe to eat. They even suggested with my beef vermicelli bowl to swap the spring rolls for shrimp rolls! It was a nice touch.
No issues at all.. Have been here 4 times in last year. Never had an issue at all. Staff seem rushed, because they are. Place is always packed. Great service. Great grub! IT's not a 5 star venue, by any means, but for cheap, fast, Vietnamese, this is a great choice.
I have eaten here over 10 times. I keep coming back because the food is great. I normally take the food to go and it is always very prompt service. Great restaurant.
Lived on this stuff. I lived on Y2K when I was going to UofC. Great food, good portions and great price, especially for a university student.
I still try and visit there everytime I am back in town.
Best Vietnamese Spring Rolls. ...they're crispy and flavourful... and their "white man's special" (aka. bun) is one of the best in town. No rubbery meat here.
Cheap/usually satisfying student food. This is a main spot for students to get food. It's cheap, comes in big portions, and insanely fast (10 min for a pick up order) and the food is half decent. I usually stick to the vermicelli bowls or the house special soup. There's lots of broth, noodles, and meat/chicken/prawns. Sometimes its dry, but you can soak it in the broth for 5 minutes and it is good. If you are feeling lazy, hungover, or want something quick and satisfying, this place is great. If you are looking for impressive Vietnamese, you will probably want to head somewhere else.
Fast!. I have never been served so fast! My friends and I were starving and we were expecting to wait the usual 20 minutes that you'd wait at any other restaurant, but our food here came out in what felt like less than 2 minutes. The food wasn't that incredible, but considering how fast it came out, I was very impressed. Would definitely go back.
When there is nowhere else to go. On a late night, nowhere else is open. You can still go there to get simple, rather cheap vietnamese food. It's not a place you'll remember, neither a place you'll love but it's a convenient "just in case" place!
Sooooooo good. Huge meal, delicious, inexpensive, and no obligation to tip because all they do is take your order and let you eat.
Really nice space. Lots of room and seating options.
The food was really great! They do egg noodles here and I would definitely recommend them as a substitute to the rice noodle!
Tasty clear broth. Fast and courteous service. Decent parking options and Would return!
What a meal was #35 was awesome for beef broth pho, had the spring rolls too and wow. I really liked the time here and the food was delicious!
The seating and table spacing wasn't super crowded and we had room to talk and breathe while eatting
Good taste, nice service. I ordered #33 Satay rice noodles with a iced mango bubble tea and my fiends ordered two #25 with Vietnamese coffee. All of us are happy with the food. We are from Toronto and we are happy to see good Asian food in Calgary.
Tried it out again for the first time in about 15 years; its not in my neighborhood anymore so the delay is not because of food issues. Ordered take out and the staff was pleasant and offered me a place to wait. They even offered water since it was a hot day. Food was tasty. My only quibble is we ordered peanut sauce as a side, and the small container was just slightly over half full. Overall though, I will be back.
This blew my mind, my whole life I've been eating a poor imitation of what vermicelli rice bowls should be!
Each ingredient is delicious on its own, but combined they're sublime! You can really tell they focus on making-from-scratch. Everything tastes like it is homemade.
P.S. The coconut slush is made with fresh coconut flesh and coconut milk. If you close your eyes you feel like you're on a tropical beach drinking straight out of a real coconut.
1. Well mannered staffs
2. Food quality could be improved
3. Recommendation: Can try once.
The food here is actually pretty good. Very generous portions. Make sure to take advantage of their lunch specials. I will be going here again soon.
