"Simply the best Vietnamese restaurant in Calgary. It's not often I'm in the NE but it's worth the drive to eat here. Really good flavours and satisfying sizes. Most other Vietnamese restaurants are really bland but here, you'll find fresh ingredients, nice seasoning, tender meat and an assortment of sauces to use. Would recommend either their Pho or vermicelli bowl. Definitely will come back for more!"

- Souk O.
