Took a couple of friends here following a movie in the area….Modest restaurant, but a step up from other comparable Vietnamese restaurants in the city with booth seating throughout. I love trying sate soups! I strayed from my usual beef sate pho and opted for #16 Seafood Sate, that included imitation crab, shrimp, and squid….The broth was rich, portions large, and I am now a fan of their sate!
2018 Update: they're back baby!! Their curry soup is exactly the same!! Still the best in Calgary.
Their sate paste is different. It was better before the fire.
The renovations look good. It's bright and fully lit. Not a dim romantic place.
So happy they are open again!!!!
October 2016: I think this place is closed due to a fire. I can't wait until they reopen.
My review based on dozens of visits over the last couple of years:
Food: It's a little pricey for Viet but they do Curry Vermicelli soup like no other so it's worth the extra couple of dollars to me (#20, #21 are my picks). Their sate sauce is also incredible and I usually get a side of it with whatever I order. Their grilled shrimp on skewers are amazing (part of #8 and some of the vermicelli dishes). The rest of the menu is not bad but the dishes I mentioned are the reasons I make the drive there.
Service: Friendly service.
Ambiance: Nicer than many other Viet places.
Serving were huge. I had the spicy seafood sate with double beef balls and it was a thing of beauty. Amazing place. The curry soups are a must. Seafood curry with beef balls will change your life. I'm a fan of peanut broth not the red broth so much so take that into consideration. But if you like sate and peanut broth this place will be your favorite
