Xin Chao is a cozy and comfortable café that offers a good selection of drinks (including…read moreVietnamese coffee) and snacks! I ordered their Xin Chao Morning Coffee, which was said to be stronger in flavor and caffeine compared to the Xin Chao Afternoon Coffee. I also ordered their fried pork spring rolls. Both the drink and the food were served in a timely manner and were worth the price! The staff were really kind as well. The café itself is not super spacious, but there is seating both upstairs and downstairs. The seating upstairs was more spread out compared to the seating downstairs, so it was naturally louder downstairs. There is free Wi-Fi as well as a self-serve station to get free water. While the chairs upstairs are comfortable to sit on, I found it difficult to do work (i.e. using my computer on the table) as the chairs themselves are leaned too far back and are unadjustable. I would recommend driving here versus public transport, as it was quite a walk from Rundle station (should you take the train). Overall a great café with good drinks and food, perfect for having a good conversation in! But I probably would not come here to study or do work, in my opinion.

We were visiting Calgary and were in need of a caffeine fix. We found this coffee shop after a…read morequick search. I was also pleasantly surprised to find a Vietnamese coffee shop out here in Calgary. We ordered two drinks to go - iced morning coffee and coconut coffee. The difference between the morning and afternoon coffee is the coffee roast that is used to make the drink. It is an iced Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk. I have not seen this option of stronger coffee in Vancouver, but I think it is great that they have the option. I took a sip and it tasted exactly what I expected with a bold coffee kick and sweet condensed milk. I also enjoyed the coconut coffee. It was sweet and slushy with a good coconut flavour. This was way better than the Timmy's ice cap I had a few days earlier. Service was fast. We did not get to enjoy the ambiance as we had a list of activities we were trying to do for the day. Definitely, this place is worth a revisit when we are back in town again.

What I love about this place is how inclusive it is while being so flavor forward…read more Our group had vegetarians, vegans, pescatarians, folks with walnut allergy and dairy intolerance and we all found plenty of options to pick from and try the range. Vegan breakfast options that too savory are hard to come by. You're limited to soy or coconut yogurt or just potatoes but this place had buddha bowl, tofu bowl, ramen, salads. So many options. Additionally they can make modifications to accomodate any requirements. We had our coffees made with soy milk and sugar free syrup. Everything is plated so beautifully. Super fast and friendly service. You must reserve ahead online a day before atleast before you go to ensure they confirm a spot because the seating is limited. In addition to kitchen items they also have a small bakery shelf for banana breads or anything else. 10/10 would recommend.

I had a very uncomfortable experience at this café. The male owner, Zack, was dismissive from the…read morestart. We were shocked to find another couple sitting at our reserved table--frankly, I hadn't anticipated it would be a shared table for eight in the first place. To make matters worse, we were rushed to order and pay the bill. After that couple left, another pair were seated at our six-person table without any explanation. Our dishes arrived in two separate waves with a 10-minute gap. They also automatically added an 18% tip for parties of more than five people, which I expect at least we should have a private table. When I expressed my dissatisfaction to the server, the owner came out and became confrontational and aggressive. He raised his voice, saying I could "tell him what I am not satisfied with." Then he offered a refund, which I immediately declined, and afterward snatched a package of coffee from the counter and offered it as compensation. I refused again--it felt more like an insult than a genuine apology. After we posted our reviews, the owner privately messaged my friend, asking us to remove them and citing the "small Chinese community" as a reason we should support each other. That's incredibly manipulative. Using community guilt to pressure customers into deleting honest feedback is inappropriate and only reinforces our negative experience. I will not be returning.

We sat down right away out in the patio (probs cuter vibes at night with the fairy & bistro lights). My hubs and I shared the mini pho flight and the fish sauce chicken wings. It was plenty of food! The banana matcha latte & coconut water with strawberry cold foam was very yummy! One bone to pick & not sure if it was supposed to be like that but the curry pho had chopped up vermicelli instead of full noodles. Anyways, we'd def stop by again!

Their beef carpaccio, bun Bo hue, Banh mi Chao all were very good! Highly recommend these options…read more The only thing I didn't like was their banana matcha latte because it tasted like it was blended but she clarified it was shaken. There was an off taste about it. But I love the vibes here and the interior is a nice vibe.

As soon as she said that, she also said we got a table (due to a last minute cancellation). When coming into the dining area, it was quite empty so it felt like they were creating artificial wait times. All we ordered was chai and idly. It took a long time (over 30 minutes) to get the food. Our server was Amanjot who was kind, but overall, this was a disappointing experience. The food was not good (unsure how you mess up an idly but it was not good and it was mushy) and came cold. Would not return.

I tried 3 samdwiches: Satay beef, tofu and chicken banh mi. They all were filled to the max with toppings that I could not finish it all. Personally the satay beef was the most delicious. The tofu or chicken was also delicious if beef isnt your style. I highly recommend putting a bit of hoisen sauce on the sandwich which is provided on the tables. It really adds a delcious flavour to the banh mi. Try it!!! Amazing location on 17th avenue is very centrally located with ample street parking. I had no issues finding a spot on my visit on a saturday during the lunch rush!

There's a mobile kiosk to order takeout or dine in, you can also find a staff near the front and order there. We pick our own seats and the staff brought us our food once it's ready. It took quite a bit of time to get our orders. I ordered the ultimate bowl which is essentially vermicelli noodles with grilled meats. It did not come with fish sauce and I had to ask the staff for it. This is weird because typically when I go to Vietnam restaurants, they usually provide this automatically. Overall the portions were pretty big, the Thai tai fries were really good. I couldn't finish the ultimate bowl (maybe 40% of it). Flavour was pretty strong and I think there's MSG in it. I had to refill my water many times (self serve). The customer service can be improved but they were also swamped with Uber eats orders.
