Went to this restaurant last weekend for lunch. We only had one hour for lunch as myself and a friend were in Calgary completing a course. I went to the bathroom and it was absolutely disgusting. The smell was horrible, the cleanliness of the bathroom was also disgusting. We waited 45 minutes just to get our food. Keep in mind, we only had one hour for lunch AND we are the only ones in the restaurant at this time. Maybe 2 skip the dishes orders but still, 45 minutes to bring out our food. The food wasn't even that good. We had to pretty much inhale the food as it took so long to come out. While waiting for our food, we noticed that the entire place was a mess. Food residue all over the blind...

First of all, this place has the stupidest parking lot! The exit/entrance off McKnight narrows immediately and you're just asking for a collision. The lot itself is like a maze with 1 or 2 spots here and there along curbs and at different angles and so narrow. The peanut sauce with my shrimp salad rolls was was so weak and runny. Now when I saw deluxe curry fried rice with shrimp, chicken and pork served with fresh cucumbers and tomatoes, I actually thought I would find those in my rice. No cucumbers, no tomatoes and just the tiniest pieces of meat. Not very deluxe at all. This place just lacks authentic Vietnamese cuisine. While not pricy it was a barely adequate meal.
Went here for a dinner with my wife. Parking was extremely difficult, luckily we found a spot in the apartment parking lot in the back (not sure if that’s okay). It seems that they take way too many orders that they can handle. We had to wait for over 20 minutes for 2 bowls of pho after order placed. Broth was tasteless, and the portion was quite small. Service was minimal. I have been to quite some pho places in town, and this is the first one I don’t recommend.Parking: It is probably the worst place to find a parking spot.
I've been eating at this place since 2013 and it's always been consistent. No thrill good Vietnamese food. I originally gave it 4 stars, but after my visit today edited my review to 5 stars. I recommend the #50 (Charbroiled Lemon Grass Chicken Spring Rolls On Rice Vermicelli), the coconut juice, as well as any of the soups. Book a table now
Hair in my salad, this is disgusting. maybe start taking proper precautions to ensure this doesn’t happen. Nobody that I saw in the kitchen was wearing nets. Ruined my
Service was friendly and the restaurant was very clean. Small intimate feel. I ordered the lemon grass salad rolls and curry chicken on rice vermicelli. Yum yum!
I ordered a bowl of Pho. The side of sprouts and lemon must have been from a past used order because the lemon was already used. They reuse the left over food!!
Great food place is a bit dated but over all great food and experience. Prices are reasonable for portion Book a table now

"the dumplings and chicken feet taste quite good. the sauce on the chicken feet is alright, I find it a little too greasy, or maybe that's just the way how its supposed to be. service is fast but probably because I'm the only customer during my visit!"

"Even though it was a slow night at the restaurant (due to a holiday), we received subpar service. Our chicken tikka was delivered 25 minutes after the rest of our order. The manager did refund the dish, but we still left feeling unsatisfied."
