Pretty bad, $110 for four items, and only one was decent. Maybe because it was an early takeout order at 11:40am, or from mostly the Chinese side of menu rather than Vietnamese, or takeout rather than dine in…regardless it’s inexcusable, especially at the extreme menu prices… Was surprised how quickly they said it would be ready, and the food was waiting after only 10-15 mins - clearly nothing prepared fresh or even put in a properly heated wok. . Sechuan beef not remotely spicey, inexplicably sweet and veggies all mushie. No wok hei to any of the items. Fried rice had ample “stuff” but bland, thin spring rolls had too hard monolithic crust and filling lacked flavour. Only Singapore vermicelli was enjoyable, and comparable to other resto versions… but at 40% higher cost…

We've heard marvelous things about this long-time Kanata North staple and were anxious to try it. To be honest, while the two dishes we ordered were tasty, the take-out bowl sizes were medium, at best, and the portions were 25% meat to 75% vegetables & sauces. The biggest surprise & dissapointment was the 'free steamed rice' portion for two prople; maybe a half-cup size! Tasty, but overpriced for the portion sizes received.

This place is not safe for anyone with allergies or other serious dietary restrictions. I have Celiac disease and ordered today, being careful to choose items marked 'gluten-free' on their menu. I put a note in the order about this being for someone with Celiac disease and they phoned me back to tell me that one of the items I'd ordered (crispy beef) was in fact not gluten-free. I was confused because it was clearly marked as such but they offered a different dish so I accepted, believing that they had my best interests at heart and were offering me what they thought to be a safe alternative. When I arrived to pick up my order I showed them how both their paper and online menus were incorrect and that they should really update them. At this point they decided to tell me that the item they'd offered as a substitution for me also contains gluten. Baffled, I clarified that this is a serious health issue and that they shouldn't be offering me food with gluten in it. At this point they told me it's "just a little bit" of gluten and actually laughed a little bit while saying this to me. I don't think I need to explain how ignorant and unacceptable this is. I told them that there is nothing funny about this and that they could have made me very ill with this error. They also they risk making other people sick if they choose to place faith in their inaccurate menu labels. I'm very disappointed in this experience and will never return.

Delicious and fresh! Not at all oily, very light on the stomach! Vegetable soup with chicken broth is going to be a regular in my order :)
Love the food! The veggies are fresh and nice portions. The staff is very friendly. Would recommend to anyone.

Chicken balls were gross, portions are smaller, and prices are really high. Very nice people though.

Been coming here for over 20 years. My parents treat me with Phu-Yen for every birthday. The food gets better everytime. Its a shame google only allows 5 stars because this deserves more.
