Vietnamese Village - Calgary

I always heart Vietnamese Phôá soup. That's one of their especialty in Vietnam. However, making this soup the traditional way takes time. What we have here is commercialized and so MSG is unavoidable which make it less a star.(depending on someone's tolerance to monosodium glumate) the one I went was a bit high.Nevertheless, this is where I go during cold season regardless of slight allergic reaction to MSG.

This was the first time I had Vietnamese food. It was the most comforting food at -30 degrees temperature. They are quick, the place is neat and the food simple and soothing. Nice place.

The business itself is hidden a little bit but have done a great job in getting your eyes attention. If it wasn't for the canopy, I would've missed it altogether. Service was very prompt all the way through and very efficient, from the time we walked in, was taken to our table , ordered our food and food being delivered to our table was somewhere in the 5 10 minute range. The food was excellent and very tasty as well as having good portion to price balance. The restaurant itself was very well done and looked after very well. Great job in everything that they have done. I definitely will be going back.

Excellent Satay soup Referred by a friend to Vietnamese Village Express to try out #17 Satay beef noodles soup. We were told it’s the best satay noodles soup in Calgary and we did not get disappointed. Soup was very rich; Meat quality and portion were decent; noodles were chewy, portion was decent. We also ordered the shrimp salad roll and it was not bad. The good: very rich and tasty satay soup. We believe that soup is the #1 factor (followed by noodles, beef, basil, lime, and bean sprouts) to a bowl of good Pho and this restaurant has aced it. Critiques: price is on the higher side, but definitely worth it for the soup. If you like satay pho, we highly recommend you to try this place out. You will not regret it.

Four of us dined here for lunch and all ordered from the rice noodle section of the menu. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Food was hot, fresh, tasty and most were served up within minutes. Service was OK but not exceptional. My wife's meal came about 5mins after the rest of us were served and the glass of ice water that was requested never showed at all. The restaurant was 1/2 full. Despite this, we would come here again.
