Green Cilantro - Calgary

If you're looking for a quick lunch, the people are lovely and the food is damn well good enough. Give them a try!The lady working here, I imagine the owner, is really wonderful. I could tell she takes pride in her business, and was very much happy for me to stop by. She even mentioned that she hadn't seen me before and seemed to be interested in how I had heard about her and her business. I really like that. There's something about Ma & Pa places, (or Ma or Pa places, theirs no judgement in them not being together) that I really, really want to support.Putting all my emotions aside, from a food only perspective Green Cilantro is AOK. I went with their spicy Bahn Mi and it was absolutely adequate and endorsable for their area. For their area, Dale? Well... Best bahn mi in Calgary? Well, no, it's a pretty far stretch... But a delicious and definitely acceptable meal in an area not known for delicious and acceptable meals? Hell yeah, Green Cilantro is right on track. I've heard other reviewers say that it's "nothing special", but that only true until you consider their location and their competition. While yes, I'd always give way to a better Vietnamese experience in the area, I think Green Cilantro is your best bet.

Make a special trip to visit Green Cilantro. This relatively new Vietnamese restaurant has a bright, cheery atmosphere with super friendly service. My sub was fresh and delicious. I'll definitely come back for the food and to support the young family operating this neighbourhood gem.

Ordered the Vietnamese sub. It had all the basic ingredients, but was nothing special. Bathroom wasn't too clean.

The new owners of this restaurant are fantastic. They provide quick and friendly service, along with serving fresh and delicious food. The blueberry bubble tea is fantastic as well. Our whole family dined in the clean and inviting atmosphere of the restaurant. We will definitely be returning soon.

The food at this restaurant is amazing and very reasonably priced. We ordered the sate beef pho and rice noodles with lemongrass beef, both dishes were delicious! The service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely be returning since we live close by.
