Some of the best Vietnamese I’ve had! Service was attentive and it clearly mattered to them that we were happy with our experience.

Came here for a quick lunch in between appointments and ordered the house special pho (not pictured) safe beef pho and gluten free spring rolls. Pretty standard so it hit the spot if you’re looking for a simple and classic bowl of soupy noodles. In addition to appies, they also offer banh mi and a selection of drinks. It is a pay at the counter operation but still good service! It’s a small but clean and well lit with all the windows!

Went here two Fridays in a row with the family. The man working here was very polite and friendly. The food was great. We had the Sate Beef Pho and two different meat vermicelli and spring roll bowls. My son who is a picky eater gladly ate his vermicelli bowl. Will keep returning.

PLEASE get the Vietnamese sub so we can talk about how good it was together ?Don't be shy and try the satay chicken sub. It's a little spicy, but you'll be fine. Wash it down with a delicious Vietnamese iced coffee. You're welcome.Sorry, no pic, I ate the sub before I could think of it.
Such a great find! You need to add this place to your top lists of places for pho. Friendly team. Clean environment. Broth was so flavorful. Noodles were perfect. Beef was amazing. So glad I found this place. Highly recommend!!!

An okay Vietnamese restaurant. The food here is a little Westernized in my opinion in terms of taste and ingredients. The menu selection is simple and to the point, but the food took a while to arrive and didn't taste as good as most other Vietnamese spots around Calgary. The staff were friendly though and the restaurant itself is clean, with around 4 tables to dine in at. There is a parking lot outside albeit small. Overall not my highest recommendation but it gets the job done!
Best Pho in the city - always fresh food and always clean environment.
