Whats a good Vietnamese restaurant to go to?

[R-Audi]

I dont live in Calgary during the year, so I dont really know. ANy suggestions? Prefer South, but it doesn't matter

[5gluder]

I always go to this place called the Royal Swan on 17th ave. Awsome food, but they recently changed owners so i'm not too sure if the food is still good.

[EG STyLeZ]

bagaloc near chinook centre is pretty decent. it's one of the cleaner looking viet places

[R-Audi]

In Lethbridge there is only one, so I dont really have much choice.
I have had family friends go out and try a new place (forgot the name) but half way through dinner, some guy came in the restaurant, and dropped off a bag of Coke three tables away, and left. None the less, my parents wouldnt be too impressed with me if that happened

Bagolac gets my vote:thumbsup:

vietnam, the best in the city

[That.Guy.S30]

bagolac sucks ass. man its like white viet food. actaully there is no good pho joint if you think about it. the one beside royal swan is good for noodles. the one beside tigers is good for noodles. pho binh minh is not bad. dont eat the noodles at bagolac.. tastes like god damn fish sauce. the drinks arent blended properly. if you want good service go to oriental pheonix beisde tony roma's on barlow trail.

[Dope Dealer]

Pho So 1 off 16th Ave.

[Miss_Celica]

hmm saigon bagaloc is okie, umm yah Swan Princess was a really good place, but like mentioned before change of owner and name, hmm Pho Dau Bo is hella good or Pho Binh Minh thats for pho of coarse umm, vietnamese food in general?? havent been to a place that was 100% good.

[jdmakkord]

[That.Guy.S30]

man half the stores you mentioned are gross. there are soo many true stories i hear about those places.. like reusing the soup.. haah ill let u guess which one that is.. sunny's is a good place.. not fancy or anythin but its a good place to eat

[FiveFreshFish]

Better order stuff you know they can't reuse! :D

[Stratus_Power]

give some addy too :P dont give just names :P

[littledan]

when i lived in calgary... i was in the NE just of 16 ave... the absolute best vietnamese food in calgary (IMO) is this place in the mall with T & T. The pork chop with egg is sooo good. My roomate was vietnamese and he used to say it tasted like his mom's home cooking. Their pho is good too. Check it out and you won't be dissapointed.

[That.Guy.S30]

hah that place has good rice in t&t. pho is no good tho. when i went back to vietnam the shit there was soo good compared to calgary. now nothin measures up.
here are some joints u should check out
royal swan and pho do boa on 17 ave s.e. near the forest lawn blockbuster. pho binh minh on 17 ave s.e. across the street from mc dicks. sunnys in chinatown across the street from dessert house.

[183ci]

MAN all those places are white viet food, more like a viet donald.

If you really what to try out a real viet restp MEKONG on 17th ave se, ownd by 2 brother fresh from bukgoung. Every true viet knows that place, fockin hugh portions, all real authentic cooking, nothing watered down, nothing but the best.

Does anyone else 'contaminate' their soup with whatever they can find on the table to avoid this happening?

haha

[lammer]

vietnamese village is freaking good.
noodle world i find pretty good

but the best of all

Anything with the name

"Banh Mi" in it hahaha.

[Superesc]

Bagoloc definitely gets my vote!!

[littledan]

you should try pho bich nga... if you're in van...:rofl:

[CRXguy]

If you think Pho Dau Bo is good, then you obviously don't know shit!! LOL

Bagolac or Pho Binh Minh, since it's like 5mins from my house.

[Stratus_Power]

Bagolac is alrite.. i think its a bit too.... white-wash so to speak... my personal favs is the one in China town .. in that.. East.. something mall.. Sunny ( onlytheir sate) and the one across from new asia super market in the little house

[That.Guy.S30]

binh minh is ok but bagolac.. have you ever had their pho. shit it tastes like god damn fish sauce.

[van]

Screw all of those places... My mom makes the best home-made pho.. hahahaha all the beef you want.. all the noodles you want.. no such thing as being stingy hahahaha

Ah, what the hell, $6.50 is still damn cheap! I'd probably pay 10$ a bowl for the stuff!! (Don't tell anyone that tho!)
:D

[szw]

I think its 7.50 now haha

(or my memory could be making things up..it does that)

I could do some right now..

[CanadianFC]

you guys need to go order the roasted chicken and fried rice at new world on 17th, half a chicken, full plate of fried rice.. and it's 7.50, beats the heck off paying 13 bucks or whatever it is @ swiss salet

[MerfBall]

BangAlot is ok, Pho Kim is decent, so is Pho So 1, but the ultimate pho shop is Pho 88 in Forest Harlem next to the Fast Gas, if it's still there...

and the cleanest viet place is the Oriental Phoenix off Barlow, it's kinda like a Joey's meets Vietnam :D... But food is only decent.

[ChronicDex]

if your in the north by mcmahon stadium theres a place called Y2K it's damn goodand cheap, but thats if your in the north.

[Ben]

Ho Lan! HANDS DOWN!!!

[max_boost]

Every restaurant carries a distinct taste and this is usually dependent on the cliental being served.

Most pho places cater to vietnamese/chinese customers so the taste is going to be different compared to Bagolac who's customers are mainly white. With that said, Bagolac is definitely one of the finese Vietnamese restaurants in town and gets my vote.

[tegdream]

pho kim cuz its next door to my school!


ohh and bagolac's pretty damn good too

[kenny]

Bagolac gets my vote.... good stuff! :) but for late nite pho'ing i dont mind Hoa Lan at all even tho lots of ppl say its gross haha
