We’ve been looking for good Vietnamese food since we moved to Airdrie. This was our least favourite restaurant so far. The food was fresh, but the dishes were primarily made of noodles. I’m baffled how this restaurant has any good reviews.We ordered a variety of dishes. We started with vegetable salad rolls. We received 3 tiny rolls that were rice noodles wrapped in rice wrappers. I couldn’t find any bean sprouts, carrots, or cucumbers in them, and they had very little lettuce. They were vegetable rolls, so I expected them to have some vegetables, but they only had flavourless rice noodles with a tiny bit of lettuce, and no meat.My husband ordered wonton and egg noodle soup. He added 4 wontons for $2.75, and he added barbecue pork for $3.00 (the soup only came with 4 small pieces of undercooked pork for the $3.00). It was a large bowl of watery broth with some egg noodles, 6 wontons in total (so it only came with 2 wontons and he paid for 4 more). There were a few fresh vegetables, but it was mostly watery broth, with some egg noodles. Wonton soup should have wontons in it, without having to pay extra for them. He was expecting a hearty soup, because he paid extra for wontons and barbecue pork, but he mostly had watery broth with some noodles.I ordered charbroiled beef and spring roll vermicelli. The spring rolls were nice - the best part of our meals, but it was mostly noodles with no flavour. There were no bean sprouts, no carrots, and only a tiny bit of lettuce. The charbroiled beef tasted like it was boiled. It was flavourless. I’ve never had vermicelli that was primarily noodles. I’ve never had it without carrots or bean sprouts. The meat was bland, and the Nước chấm sauce tasted like water with a tiny bit of sugar in it. I couldn’t taste any fish sauce.

*FOOD POISONING*My family and I have been visiting andordering takeout from this restaurant for a long time and it’s rarely disappointed. Until Wednesday night, where we had ordered the sate beef noodle soups and a dish of spring rolls. About 30-40 minutes later we were all getting sick. It is now Friday and we are feeling slightly better, but we will no longer be eating from here.

***BE ADVISED***Not impressed with all the hype of this restaurant. We came in and ordered a grilled chicken dish but it was boiled. I complained and said that it was not the same as the menu picture and there was zero seasoning. You do not have to be a chef to know the difference. The owner was rude and after much discussion, we got up and left but she made us pay for the food we did not order. Her money was more important to her than providing the customer a good dining experience.Never again, there are plenty of other restaurants that offer much better service and 'true to the menu' food quality.

Food quality is good along with customer service. Portions are small for the price you pay plus they did not give any hosin sauce and spiracha nor Basil, bean sprouts, and chili pepper (standard for Vietnamese restaurants) which is very disappointing. By that result, the appearance of cheap comes to mind. Not going back there again!

I really appreciate how astoundingly clean the restaurant is (Something that is actually rare these days). It shows that the owners care about what they do. The quality of the food is really good and fresh too. Simple, but the quality lends itself to the taste. We came at a busy time, food was still fast, and service excellent. Will be returning.

Very good submarine sandwiches.Very good Sate beef Pho soup!Best prices in Airdrie that I have encountered.Service was very quick & polite.The interior is exactly the style of a classic Canadian Pho spot. I could tell it was going to be good as soon as I entered the building.I recommend a visit if you have not been here!

I went with a girl friend as it is her favorite for Pho. I was impressed how busy they were, and how attentive they were with all the patrons. Great service, very clean, and smiles for everyone.Parking: As it is located in a strip mall next to a closed motel, there is more than enough parking.

food was great. but service from the front server was very very poor. the old lady at the front. She only treat good if the customer is canadiane but if other raise she not even greet them and not even entertain them as customer. lots of people are complaining about her. just treat equally coz people are buying and paying. This is not the first time we see her like that attitude.
