My husband and I ordered the chicken wing vermicelli, the pork vermicelli and summer roll. Everything was delicious and definitely an elevated version of Vietnamese food. My only complaint was the amount of chicken I received in my order, only two chicken wings, which were larger but there’s not much meat on a wing. My husband’s pork vermicelli was the same price and he received two fairly generous skewers. Also on skip the dishes, the summer roll said “rolls”. For $5 we received one singular roll. I guess now we know for next time!

I love their vegetarian pho! I do however wish they had a few more vegetarian options!

The best pho and Vietnamese dishes in Winnipeg I've ever had. Very surprised with the quality of the broth (of pho, beef stew), as well as delicious cha gio (spring roll), and they truly represent what I have in my hometown.

The food is superb here. The chicken boa is a great appetizer, being light but still fulfilling in flavor. And the pho here is top quality. I’ve visited many different pho places within Winnipeg but the broth here is second to none. I appreciate the staff and ambiance of the whole establishment. Keep up the good work

Very recommended place to try Asian food, dishes look and taste really good. Very friendly service, the waiter knew the menu pretty well. There is also free parking nearby, so I didn't have to worry about where to put my car.

This place is absolutely delicious. Been here 3 times now and have never been disappointed. It has become one of my Top 2 favourite Vietnamese restaurants (the other is Pho 5 Star on Balmoral). Slightly more expensive than other Viet places but that is because the quality of the meat is superior and definitely worth the extra couple bucks to get good quality meat! Definitely recommend this place highly. Very nice atmosphere also; great for dates.

Can only review the Bao because that's the only things I ordered. Called ahead tonight for pickup and upon arrival was met by a girl at cash that seemed to be not interested in anything related to customer service. Then there was the Bao. Bun itself was fine but for $7 each you can do so much better at "the other place" that gives you way more for the price. Pork belly consisted of 3 maybe 4 thinly sliced pieces of basically thick cut bacon. Sauce was simply hoisin, that's all. The chicken Bao looked more promising but again, a dry piece of chicken with no sauce to speak of, maybe it was there, but who knows. So if it's just a good Bao with something to it, avoid these. Even if they were $5 or less each, I really wouldn't bother.

Food taste good and restaurant has a great atmosphere but sometimes they are out of multiple menu items... I can understand why though.

One of the things I always try at a new place, is the spring rolls. I look for a thick spring roll, filled with meat and noodles and veg, I hope for a crunchy wrapper that reminds me of crackling. This is exactly what the spring rolls are like here, I might dare to say best spring roll in Winnipeg that I’ve tried. The bao was good, the bbq pork was soft but since it’s bbq pork. Reminded me more of a chinese bbq pork bun rather than the typical steamed pork belly, but either way was still delicious. The beef pho broth was so clean, so simple and has an amazing depth of flavour. Again, I’m gonna say, even with so many amazing pho restaurants in Winnipeg, this is easily top 3 for best broth. The lemongrass pork vermicelli was wicked. It’s massive, comes with 2 packed lemongrass pork skewers that have been grilled to dark perfection. There’s also a ground pork patty and another crispy spring roll. The fish sauce that coats the noodles gives a great balance of sweet and umame and tastes different than most other places, I couldn’t figure out what made this one so good. This is a clean, bright space offering up some very impressive bites.
