Due to rising coronavirus concerns, the Kokuho rose rice I buy at Superstore was sold out. L and I decided to make the trek up to True World Foods for Koshihikari Homare rice. Since we were minutes away from Song Huong, one of my favourite Vietnamese restaurants, we stopped by for lunch. Since Albertans are still reeling from a hell of a lot of bad news (e.g. health care and education cuts, stocks and oil prices plummeting) let’s listen to something calming. For this post, I’ll play “Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 61:1” by composer Ludwig van Beethoven.
Broth was good, but the meat quality was subpar. Salad was very tasty though & rolls use the legit rice paper wrap! Good quantities overall. (4/5)
After reading the reviews I walked to here from my hotel. I had to order the rare beef salad because everyone was raving about it and it was AMAZING!! My kind of salad! Staff was great too and the pho was good:) I would recommend
This place is amazing.
The broth is fantastic the cuts are exquisite.
You have to come and try something new each time regardless you will not go wrong with whatever you choose
Havnt been to this new location since they moved. New location has bigger area and same quality of food, will be back! Known for their bun bo hue and their raw beef dish. It's a must
Favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the city.
Pork stomach salad - I have no idea where else you would find this. It's served cold with fish sauce and peppers that give it the sweet flavoring with a bit of heat.
Spring Rolls (order of 3 shown) - there's something to the wrapper that gives it a unique texture and extra crispy.
Bun Bo Hue - it's their signature bowl that has everything - beef shank, blood pudding, Vietnamese ham and pork meatballs. The soup is so good that I don't even add any sauce to it.

I used to go to the old location when it was still a hole in the wall on 17th street. I have been to Song Huong a few times since they moved, and to be honest, it just don't taste like the old place anymore. Don't take me wrong, they are still very good, but there is just a difference and I can't really explain that feeling.I have a few go to dishes: Clam Noodle, Dumpling (without the banana leaf), BBH, and the Spring roll. The Clam Noodle is unique, and not served at a lot of other Vietnamese restaurants. I have been to a few other restaurant that serves clam noodle, but Song Huong has it right. Their sauce is thicker, and the noodle is not as soggy. Their sauce is done just right, and the amount of clam is also perfect. Word of advice, keep stirring the bowl while you are eating, or you will be left with too much clam at the end.The spring rolls, is exceptional and it appears to be using the rice roll skin, which I believe is the same one they wrap salad rolls in. the spring roll is extra crispy, and it is a must try. Dumplings is amazing, I usually ask for extra dry onion on the side. It is chewy, and I think the banana leaf is over kill. the regular dumpling taste slightly better and not as moist as the version wrapped in banana leaf.Overall, Song Huong is my no.1 and go to places for Vietnamese food fix. I would recommend this restaurant people who wants something more than the ordinary Vietnamese experience.
The fact there is no Satay Beef Soup and I still love this place is saying a lot. The staff is probably the best and most welcoming in the city and even though I'm no expert everything feels very authentic. I recommend, the Rare Beef Salad (nothing like it in the city) and the Vermicelli with Clams. The flavors are unreal! Highly recommend this place!
I crave for that rare beef appie everyday!!! It's so addicting!! Their broth for their signature noodle dish is very light yet flavourful. Comes with loads of ingredients!
Been wanting to try Song Houng again ever since they moved to their new digs. We decided to drop by on Monday for lunch and were seated right away. The new spot is fresh and a massive upgrade from their previous hole in the wall digs. The place is huge too (there’s a second seating area hidden in the back).
