I did not order by number, I just asked if they could make this for me. What I got was so spicy that I had to ask for water and said I could not eat this. I was getting heart-burn trying to eat this dish. The young server made a mistake. Not Me and he said I ordered a 34 which is spicy. I did not order by number. I only eat 25% and tried to eat the dish. She replied that The bowl was almost empty. She was not going to listen to me anyway. I have never experienced such poor service. We did spend money on other meals and beverages. I was calm at first , but the more the manager did not acknowledge me and make me being the problem, the annoyed I got. When requested that I did not what to pay for they mistake, I was treated so badly. I was told that I need to read the menus and advise the server what I can not eat. IE spicy, soy sauce, etc.. In her words. Not my job I think. The manager was very unyielding and would not hear my comments. This was to frustration more than anything. She went on to tell see me that this was the end of her shift and she did not have time to deal with this. That was obvious!!!! They have great food, but I was treated bad with a very moody manager. I am very reasonable person and have been in customer service my years.. I don't believe the customers are always right, but this was very avoidable. Sadly I will not recommend this restaurant.

It was a very good portion and the broth was light and clear. The vegetables were mostly broccoli, carrots, and small bits of cauliflower. The wontons were nice. The majority of the orders were online orders. Every second, a delivery driver would walk in to do a pick up order. I guess the neighborhood really likes this place.

Amazing! My first 5 stars review for Vietnamese food. It's a special one!…read more Calgary was cold and windy even last week. I wanted soup / something different from all the other food I've been having ( afternoon tea, Italian, breakfast food), found this thanks to Uber eats! People generally don't seem to Yelp much in these area: sometimes places are long gone when I show up etc. Same with this spot: menu wasn't updated but luckily ubereats had it. Orders their spicy chicken bowl ( lemongrass flavor) with rice and also their Sate chicken noodle soup with egg noodles. Finding this place and also finding parking was half the battle. Super busy area! After I took it back to my hotel, I discovered they've sent me home with a chicken bowl with vermicelli noodles. Normally I'd be ok with it but I didn't like those noodles. I went back for it. At first, they weren't sure. They thought I meant to ask for a whole new bowl. But once they found out ( picture evidence), they were more than nice about it to replace it with a rice. Or give me a side order of rice. Basil the guy at the front and also the one in the kitchen: blonde hair guy were super apologetic. Also offered me a drink on the house! So nice. I took their Vietnamese ice coffee: even though it was late. Super caffeinated and super tasty. Ambiance was quite nice too inside. If I haven't done the takeout already: I'd dine in! And the food: both dishes were delicious! The chicken bowl came with amazing spring rolls: I tend to skip fried rolls in favor of fresh rolls or skip them all together in general. But these were divine! The sate soup was tasty too. Too bad I don't live anywhere near Calgary to try more dishes. But definitely coming back next time I'm in Calgary! 5 stars all around.

The last time I came they served my meal and then about 15 minutes went by before they delivered the meals of my dining companions. I complained and the bill was adjusted. Thinking this was a one off, I confidently came back today. This time 2 of the 3 meals arrived. Inexplicably, the 3rd meal did not turn up (even though it was identical to one of the other orders). When the 3rd meal arrived, 10 minutes later, we realized the 2 identical meals were identically cold. Not, "they sat at our table for 10 minutes" cold. But, "they must have come from the fridge" cold. We complained and initially they said it wasn't cold. (sigh) Another 15 minutes wait for warm meals to arrive. Now, I sit here feeling like we are being punished. No one has come back to our table - no replenishment of our water, no delivery of the check, and no take out containers for what we did not finish. What is wrong here. Do I come back and try my luck for a 3rd time in a row???

This place does limited customizations. All their food is reasonably priced and affordable. They take orders 3 ways: in-person at the register, at self service kiosk and online.

The dining area is clean and the service is super quick. We ordered their seafood mixed rice, beef and spring roll on vermicelli rice, and Pho for dine-in. My hubby loved the seafood rice so much that he has ordered it multiple times for take out since then. And I have also ordered the beef and spring roll over vermicelli rice a couple of times for take out. Will probably try more things in their menu in the future. Fast service, clean store, and great vietnamese food! Seriously have no complaints about this establishment and have been recommending them to friends and family that live around the area.

I believe they have a good selection of fruit drinks and bubble teas. Now I know where to go in this area when I crave those.

I ordered some spring rolls which were super fresh ! Among the freshest I've ever had...wouldn't surprise me if it was made right after my order...the wrapper had a hint of warmth and literally melted in my mouth. I order the " beef sate soup", overall good flavor and very comforting as well as filling. Let me note that the spring rolls arrived well before the Pho so I could enjoy the rolls without my Pho getting cold. Other than that the service was not particularly enthusiastic; the servers were not friendly or fast. The restaurant has a pace all its own which is the reason I subtracted some stars. Finally, typical of most Asian restaurants in Canada, they don't accept AMEX.
