No taste to the food at all. I eat vietnamese often and for $50 for 2 dishes it was really disappointing compared to pretty much any other Vietnamese I have eaten in Calgary. Also there was very little protein in both dishes, just a ton of vegetable.

I've ordered from here twice and both times were very disappointing. The spring rolls are good but the seafood Pho is terrible. Broth didn't have much flavour and there were only a few pieces of seafood, and very few noodles. When I stirred the noodles up there was a thin layer of noodles over a huge pile of bean sprouts. Absolute waste of money both times. And it took 45 minutes to prepare the rolls and soup!

Our first and definitely not last time to eat here. My wife and I stopped for lunch as we have wanted to try the food here. It was a great choice, I cannot believe we’ve never stopped here before. Service was perfect and our large bowls of chicken & spring roll with rice vermicelli was served with a delicious sauce. It was all we could do to finish but couldn’t quit eating as it was so tasty. Looking forward to our next stop there.

They have a great variety of gluten free options! And they are very very careful to make sure it is safe. They called to make sure that the order was gluten free, and the food tasted delicious. I had the chicken fried rice and it was amazing.

Pho noodle falls apart with 4 thin slices of beef and no basil, no cilantro, no fish sauce. The worst is the broth has no Pho flavor nor smell of Pho. It's an insult to serve Pho without all the ingredients of Pho. When I ask why my Pho missed all the Pho ingredients; and I was told that they serve mostly Caucasians so they don't want to make food taste too vietnamese. More insult from the answer.

This place was so good pre-covid but has gone downhill since. Meat has been freezer burned. The shrimp tastes like what I imagine fish tank water tastes like. My most recent dish tastes so strongly of lighter fluid I can't eat it ,?
