    Brought hubs here for an early Father's Day lunch after reading fabulous reviews. Loved the vibe and layout from the moment we entered. The playful black and white checkered ceiling tiles kept me smiling throughout the meal. The staff were friendly and attentive. I liked that the water automatically had lemon in it (hubs did not, oops). We opted to try the grilled lemongrass beef salad rolls to start - yum! I ordered the combo Bun Vermicelli bowl since I'm a vermicelli girl by nature. I really liked the fried onions sprinkles on top. Unfortunately I did not like the shrimp/fish cake. I'm a DIE HARD Golden Bird Vermicelli girl so it's hard to improve upon that. Hubs tried the Vietnamese Style Soup. The flavour was great - but admittedly we were a bit squeamish with the fat/tendons. Both of us thought the mains were lacking in meat considering the prices. I ordered a Vietnamese Iced Coffee to go that was perfect! All in all, really liked Thien An and will definitely be back and next time I'll ask the server for recommendations of what they're favourite dishes are. Clean, bright, and playful atmosphere - perfect for a Vietnamese Newbie that might be a bit shy in China Town. See you soon Thien An, see you soon!

    Service was prompt and attentive. Food was quickly served and tasty. Environment is quite subdued.

    Veggie noodle soup (V9) ($10.50)

    Thien An is a new Vietnamese restaurant to open us in this neck of the woods. Not much is in this area except we did pass Pho & Bun a few blocks west on the way back home. There's plenty of room to park and they even have a lot in the back. We came on a late Monday afternoon so there were only a few tables occupied. The inside is new and quite spacious. The menu is massive but the southern Vietnamese soup (hu tiu mi) and beef stew (bo kho) caught my eye. - Fresh salad roll with tofu (V2) ($6.00 for four) - these were nicely done. Slightly warmed, freshly made and with a good peanut dipping sauce. - Veggie noodle soup (V9) ($10.50) - O's converted to partial vegetarianism so it was veggie soup for her. She liked the broth and it looked like a satisfactory amount of tofu, vegetables and noodles. - Hu tieu nam vang (H2) ($13.00) - smelled great. You choose either egg noodles or rice noodles. I asked about it and you actually can get a mix, so I tried both. You get a variety of meat (beef, shrimp, squid and ground pork) but a bit more meat and noodles would justify the higher price point. That being said, the broth was solid and had a sweetness to it similar to what you find in a wonton/egg noodle soup. What I found interesting was the shape of their bowls. The top part of the bowl forms into a square shape. Odd. Good first experience. I'd come back to try their bo koh and other pho options. 3.5 stars.

    Tofu pad thai and veggie spring rolls.

    I was in the Forest Heights area on business and stopped in here for lunch. The place is large and beautiful, and the staff wonderful. The menu has an extensive selection of Vietnamese and other Asian dishes like soup, noodle bowls, stir fry, and a selection of vegetarian items. I went with the tofu pad thai. The portion was huge, it was flavourful without being too spicy, and there was a lot of tofu. I also ordered two veggie spring rolls on the side, which were crispy and fresh. My friend was not happy with his peach shrimp - he said they were fried shrimp covered in mayonnaise, with canned peaches on the side. He also did not like or finish his chicken stir fry, as the chicken had an odd texture - kind of soft and rubbery. I would come here again to try something Vietnamese like pho or a vermicelli bowl, but perhaps stay away from anything with chicken in it.

    Sate  soup. Edame. Sweet and sour stir fried vegetables with tofu.

    This is our go to vietnamese restaurant for lunch (from work)... so needless to say, my coworkers and I go there often. This place has always had super friendly and accommodating service when we have gone in. Their prices are pretty average but the quality of food is better than a lot of other places in the area or even in the city. They have a fairly typical menu with all the normal tasty vietnamese dishes (soups rice noodle bowls, stirfries, grilled meat salads, salad rolls, etc) and a decently large vegetarian selection. I would definitely recommend the sate peanut soup - delicious with a little bit of spicy. So perfect for a cold day or if maybe you have had a bit too much to drink the night before. I wish this place was actually closer to my home cause I would probably make it one of my go to Vietnamese places but I will settle for it being a nice treat on a work day.

    Curry chicken (soup) with rice
    Kayley A.

    Decided to try a new place and ended up finding this hidden gem! We had the combo platter to start and then I had the curry chicken as my main.. now I wasn't expecting it to be a soup but it was sure amazing! And my rice came out in a heart shape too, so cute! I ended up cutting my meal short as I saw the deep fried ice cream on the dessert menu and could not pass it up and I man I was not disappointed. Everything was very good and the staff was super friendly. I will be back for sure

    Decided to finally check out Thien An tonight after driving past about a hundred times. Happy to report that it did live up to the hype. A modern and sleep interior with fancy lighting, checker board ceiling and plants galore. It was roomy and even the chairs were fancy leather seating but the do offer booster seats for those dining with kids. They also have two large TVs, one at each end of the room, so you can watch the Oilers at the same time! My group ordered the appetizer combo which came with spring rolls, shrimp rolls, shrimp cake and veg rolls. I'm not usually into veg rolls but these tasted great with the satay dip on the side. We shared pork fried rice, ginger beef and combination Pad Thai. They were all tasty but the pork fried rice was extremely good. Friendly service, great food, loads of left overs and free parking. Oh yeah!

    Pork and spring roll vermicelli
    Aimee B.

    The decor is very nice, I particularly like the square pane door and the checkerboard ceiling. There is lots of parking out front and a fence to lock your bikes to in front of the windows. My server was quick and friendly and my food came out in under five minutes; if you're on a short lunch this would be a great spot to stop. I had the grilled pork and spring roll vermicelli. I was a little put off because the noodles they use are more like spaghetti then vermicelli but the flavour was wonderful so I can overlook it. The pork was grilled perfectly, the spring roll was delicious,and the portion was huge. I'll definitely be back.

    One of 4 spring rolls we ordered. They're large and crispy! Also pictured are the shrimp cakes.

    If you follow any of my reviews, you know pho is my favourite food and I eat a lot it lol. Imagine my delight to see this restaurant opening up literally at the end of my block! We noticed they finally were open and popped in for lunch. It was busy and the servers were new, but very friendly and very attentive! I ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee which is premade for you. Maybe a little too sweet doe my liking, but it can always be touch and go. We ordered the shrimp cakes and spring rolls to start. The spring rolls were very large! Great potion size doe the price! I'd never had shrimp cakes before. I was thinking they might be crispy but they weren't - more of an omelette texture. My husband didn't like it but I thought it was tasty and an interesting texture. For the main course, I ordered the P6 Pho. Tripe, tendon, rare beef in a flavourful broth. It was delicious! The large is a little smaller than other places, but the price was right! I prefer my broth spicy and the server was happy to bring me out a little jar of chili oil. My husband ordered the beef on rice and he said was absolutely delicious and seemed to be a good sized portion. I will be back. A lot!

    Mini Special Appetizer and Rare Beef, Brisket, Tendon & Tripe Noodle Soup Thien An is a fairly new pho place in the Capilano area. Wasn't too hungry but had to try this mini special appetizer that had one of everything on the appetizer list. It had a spring roll, salad roll, shrimp cake, and a torpedo shrimp. Surprisingly decent spring roll, and even tastier torpedo shrimp because it had cream cheese i think between the shrimp and wrapper. The pho wasn't bad, not great, but it was standard pho. Big bowl at a standard price. They also serve banh mi's here which is a rarity for most pho place, but it's nice that they offer. Located on 101 ave and 73st, it's a nice clean restaurant with quick service. Try all the appetizers if you're in the area and maybe a banh mi for takeout. Sal says: Just Try It Erik says: I probably wouldn't go there unless I lived in the area.

This is one of my favourite vietnamese places for soup and appetizers. The rice and vermicelli dishes are mediocre in comparison so make sure to order what they specialize in. If I come with a big group I like to order as many appetizers as possible as it's similar to vietnamese street foods like crepes, tapioca dumplings and deep fried goodies. All of it is authentic and delicious. My must orders here are the duck salad and soup combo. It's what I come here for as no other place in edmonton has it on the menu that I know of. And it's pretty darn delicious. If I don't get that. The bun bo hue is loaded with so many meats that I never can finish it! I can't wait to go back to this locally owned business run by a family. Although service is not the greatest. They do provide whatever you need if you ask for it. They definitely won't bother you when you visit here. As most people just eat quick and leave. It's not one of those places you sit and chat and have drinks at. But for what they offer. It's affordable fast convenient and authentic. One of the best in edmonton!

Little has changed on the interior, except for the addition of a large fish tank. The menu is very typical of Vietnamese noodle houses, featuring a good selection of pho noodle soup, vermicelli noodle bowls, and rice dishes. I opted for a bowl of pho with medium sliced beef and brisket. My soup was full of meat which was reasonably tender and lean, and came in a broth that was well-seasoned. Colleen, my co-Volunteer Coordinator, ordered a bowl of Thai spicy pho, and she ordered it without any meat. She was happy with the flavour of her soup and its abundance of noodles. I started with a green onion cake, finding the two large rings of fried dough and green onions to be large and not too greasy, as well as a bit cheaper than I've had elsewhere. I also decided to do something I rarely do when I order pho - even though I find the complimentary green tea and broth from the soup to be more than enough liquid intake for one meal, I decided to try one of the iced drinks. Being a dreary winter day I felt some extra vitamin C was in order, and opted for a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice. It was incredibly fresh and full of pulp - I literally felt like I was drinking an orange in liquid form. Prices are in line, if not lower, than other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. Our entire meal, which also included a can of pop for Colleen, cost less than $25 before the tip. Service was fast and friendly and neither of us had any complaints about the food. Winter is the perfect time for a steaming bowl of pho, so consider heading to Viet Huong.

Service is fast, but minimal. Nobody came to check on us at all during the duration of our meal. I had the beef satay soup, which, unfortunately, is only available in the regular size. I normally don't find the regular size filling enough to last me until the next meal. The soup was good though; not overly spicy with a nice peanut flavor to it. Not a fan of how lean the beef was though; I prefer some fattiness to my meat. My brother and mom both ordered a large bowl of pho and they felt the broth was watered down and bland. My mom felt the large size just meant more broth and did not feel full at the end of her meal. My mom also did not like how lean/tough the beef in her pho was either. For 2 large bowls of pho, a regular size bowl of satay, a small bowl of noodle only and a side order of spring rolls came out to just over $56. The Groupon is a good deal, but I don't know if I'd make this place one of my go-tos for Vietnamese food as there is definitely better out there.

Staff won't allow happy hour specials at discounted price despite being in happy hour time frame. Hoang long is a modern clean space with bamboo accents and a newly renovated area. There is a large patio out front for summer. But it being closed off made the entrance kinda blending in. I was looking for the entrance and walked right by it. Trying to figure out how you get in is a slight challenge. As the door blends in so well and it appears it's just the patio. But that's the entrance. I visited quite early during happy hour at around 6pm. The place was entirely empty except for staff which was slightly disheartening. But I'm sure this place is bustling during the lunch hours. Wait staff were slow to greet me so I sat myself and grabbed my own menus. The menu Is vast. A huge range of thai and vietnamese foods. From soups, sandwiches, grilled meats and stews. Looking through the menu was overwhelming but at least there is something for everyone. We decided on trying the chicken satays with peanut sauce. These were a famous item popular during the taste of edmonton. They did not disappoint. They charred them so nicely I could hear the fire crackling in the dead of winter. But the best part was the peanut sauce. They don't provide this during the taste of edmonton. But it brings the dish to new heights. I would say...stick to the grilled meats here. They don't disappoint. I throughly enjoyed my bun bo hue. It was authentic and tasty. It made my list for top 5 in edmonton for sure. Portion was perfect and the ratio of meats and noodles were just right. Another great dish. My only vice was that it was happy hour...advertised from 3-7pm. But the staff would not allow discounted prices despite it only being 6pm. They had decent options like wine, beer or a customized cocktail for $4. The server states happy hour is over despite it clearly stating it is until 7pm on the menu. I point to the board and he says it's full price. Whatever. I don't like misrepresentation on menus. And discrepancys are misleading. For this I minused a star. Service was haphazard. I seated myself. Got my own condiments and even got my own drinks. I had to go to the counter to order my food and pay at the register. All the server did was put the food on my table and clean it up afterwards. The whole process downgraded the whole modern vibe to more of a cafeteria style establishment. I felt jipped tipping bc i basically served myself. So minus another star. Overall. The food was great. Slightly overpriced. But the atmosphere reflects the price in the heart of downtown. Service was okay but the whole happy hour misrepresentation was a huge turnoff. I won't ever be buying drinks here in the future. Bc hey...they don't follow the advertised prices on the menu. It's decent. I would revisit if I am in the area. But it definetly won't be a go to place that I would drive to if I was hungry.

Inside there was just one table occupied but there is a decent amount of seating for the lunch time crowd. It seemed cleaned. The combos they offer are a rice or noodle (pad thai that didn't look very appetizing) and then up to 3 or 4 items. The food was under heat lamps so I could see what the options were. I decided to get the fried rice and a few items. I choose a chicken first and looked at the other items before deciding on the vegetables with cashews. The woman serving me had the rectangle take out container about 2/3 full and she kept suggesting food such as the green beans and then the sweet and sour pork. Both didn't look very appetizing. I think she was hoping I would pay for as much food to get rid of since the lunch time crowd had passed but she wasn't generous with the quantity. I decided on the beef skewer and then was done. At half price I paid $7.35. I brought the food home and heated it up. I liked the beef skewer but the rest of the food wasn't very good. The food tasted greasy and I had to use my fingers to eat the chicken was it had lots of bones. I'm not sure if it's from this food, but I didn't feel well after. Definitely would not pay $14 for the food I had as lots of other great restaurants around. It would probably be better to go during the lunch hour when the food is hot and fresh but I'll pass next time I'm in the area.
