There is simply no better place for Vietnamese food in Alberta!! Than at the Golden Bird. Their food is wonderful and no cutting corners. They serve the best available. AND their deep fried spring rolls are unparalleled!!! I have eat Vietnamese food all over Alberta and no one can do it like Golden Bird. Five out of Five in my books!!

There are lots of good Vietnamese Restaurants in the city but this is my favourite. Fresh and generous portions served promptly. Not the "standard" dishes you find everywhere. Check out this vermicelli bowl. I'm a regular here.

20 years now I've been eating here. Still the BEST spring rolls and calamari I've ever had! Regulars for us here will always be the sunshine dish, #44 (beef and spring rolls bun), strawberry milkshake, Vietnamese iced coffee (made with beans grown and roasted in Vietnam), spring rolls, and calamari. Honourable mentions to hot and sour soup as well as won ton noodle soup! Mmm.. Mmm... love me some Golden Bird!

Overall great restaurant. Not the greatest location but it's still well worth visiting. Authentic Vietnamese food. Service is immediate, very short wait. Prices are reasonable and food portions are very large. You get your money worth in other words.I would come back during the week. It's very quiet here on weekday evenings. If you do not like chain restaurants, this is an excellent option.

Excellent Pho! In a casual and comfortable atmosphere, paired with flavourful abundance. Best served with a Vietnamese coffee which is an experience in itself!

For whatever reason, it has been ages since I have been to Golden Bird. I had the chance to go there this weekend when I was in Chinatown for an event. I ordered a bowl of pho with medium-well beef and brisket, and green onion cakes. The onion cakes were cut into convenient pieces and piled high on a plate with a generous side of sweet-and-sour dipping sauce. The soup was also a generous portion, with lots of meat and a broth that was satisfying and aromatic. The soup was much better than I remembered it. While the restaurant is small, it was clean and bright, and service was quite friendly. My server told me the story behind the restaurant, which has been in this location since 1985 opening as a family business, and had another owner before returning to the original family by 1990. I found it somewhat concerning that despite it being Saturday and the heart of the noon hour, I was the only customer in there, save for someone coming to pick up a phoned-in order. Restaurants in Chinatown used to be bumping on the weekend, but the area has had a lot of problems of late. Please take the time to support great, local, family-owned businesses like this - they deserve it!

I ordered the #51 vermicelli with spring rolls and lemon grass chicken. It thought the food was okay. Chicken was bland. Spring rolls were good. This place will do in a pinch but there are better pho places in the city.
