Review from Kenny M.
11/16/2011 3 Check-ins Here
I love bagolac, I would have to say its probably the most consistent of any of the Vietnamese eateries I have tried. The atmosphere is very pleasant, the decor a little modern/classy but cozy at the same time. The food ! Mm mm mmm! I have never had a questionable bite here once ! It's fantastic!
The variety of food here is staggering! Its much like many other vietnamese restaurants but with a few more special unique items.I almost always get the same dish(#82 noodle bowl) but have tried a number of their soups and apps when I come here for dates or just with friends. To sum up the food, it's what we know as Vietnamese but they execute it at a higher standard overall, it has a sharper edge.
The service can be a little hit or miss with timing but they always end the night well, sometimes they even bring out the food too fast here which can be annoying but in those cases I just take my time eating it!
Bagolac is truly one of my staples, it's a versatile place that I would come to for any occasion and be perfectly satisfied everytime. Big groups, birthdays, family, dates,old friends, new friends, lunch, snack time.... If you love Vietnamese then definetly try this place out, I can almost guarantee you won't be dissatisfied!

Yes, I am a fan of Bagolac Saigon. It is our favourite Vietnamese restaurant, and we go there every couple of months. Sometimes my chicken dishes have a slight fishy taste to them, but usually not. Charbroiled lemongrass chicken is my favourite though! The menu is huge though! New decor looks great, although not Vietnamese-y, and is bright and clean. Has reasonable prices and portion sizes are big enough.

Thanks to my fellow Yelpers and my friend I just had lunch here, and I can definitely say that the food was fresh, the service was very good, and the atmosphere nice and modern. As Kenny M. mentioned in his review the menu is very large, and includes some Thai dishes, and his #82 was indeed delicious!

Always a busy lunch spot, I have yet to have a bad meal here. Food is fast and fresh, service is not bad but they really want to move you out when the place is busy. Like strong coffee? Try the coffee pressed hot or iced with condensed milk.
Good for a quick lunch or meetings, it is the food that brings me back. Also has a private room for up to 30 and will take reservations for groups of 10 or more. -

When I'm feeling like Vietnamese, there are 5 or 6 places in south Calgary that I'm willing to go to. When I'm feeling like good Vietnamese, Bagolac Saigon is worth traveling to no matter where I am in the city. Whether it's satay noodle soup, vermicelli combos, or stir-fry, I would recommend almost any dish (I've tried about 75% of their menu).
After recent renovations, the atmosphere here is inviting and open. Perfect for large groups or as a date location for 2, this is a great place for seasoned Viet lovers or rookies. -

Haven't been here much, but I have found my experiences to be quite wonderful. I can't think of a Vietnamese restaurant I've been to that's been bad, but Bagolac Saigon has a better edge when compared to others. Most the ones I've gone to are small with average decor. Bagolac is a larger area and the rich brown colours and mellow music make it a nice relaxing and calm place to eat. The menu is huge! They will likely have whatever item that you are craving to eat! The service is a little hit and miss, but never anything worth getting angry over. The quality of food is amazing and comes in a large portion size worth the price. Definitely a place to go eat when you're in the area!

A wide variety of menu items, some really interesting things that you don't normally see. This place always seems to be busy the staff are friendly and efficient.
Happy with our meal, but nothing that blew our socks off. We will stop in again I'm sure, but more because it is in our 'hood rather than a destination. -

I like to think of myself as a connoisseur of satay beef soup. Really, this probably just means I'm cheap and like inexpensive, filing meals, but let's just say I'm an expert, mmmmkay?
Bagolac has one of the best bowls of satay beef soup in the city. The beef comes out quite rare, is thin and cooks quickly and there are a massive amount of noodles in the bowl. The broth is spicy, very peanut-y and the murky brown-red kind. If you love it, you'll know what I mean. Most places serve either this or the clear, heavy-on-the-lemongrass kind.
The menu is massive and includes both Vietnamese and Thai cuisine on it. Some of the dishes are best served family style, so double check when you order to see if it comes with some type of rice, or you need to order it on the side. It's worth a couple of visits to get through some of the variety. Even if you love your first meal, don't always order the same thing - there's plenty of delicious choices!
The location is great - within walking distance of Chinook Station/Mall and plenty of parking in front.
Bagolac is huge, so I think it's a pretty good choice for families. It isn't open on Sunday, which has left me feeling disappointed a few times, but I guess we all need a day off... -

A - List. Highly Recommended. Exceptional Food. Clean Modern Functional Decor. Friendly, Prompt Service. Large Portions. Largest Bowl of Soup I Have Seen. This is a gem. Skip the food court at Chinook Mall, walk across the street and enjoy real food.

In my opinion, one of the best vietnamese restaurants in Calgary. The interior atmosphere is modern and clean. Service can be occasionally hit or miss, but for a vietnamese restaurant it's about expected, it can be surprisingly good on certain days depending on the server.
The satay noodle soup has a wonderful deep flavor to it, as others have mentioned. But don't miss out on many of their other great menu items, lemongrass chicken or their grilled pork etc; I recommend those items for dinner.
They are closed on Sundays though so if you're craving vietnamese at the end of the weekend you'll have to unfortunately look elsewhere. -

One of the best salad rolls in town. Big portions, hot and tasty. Service is hit and miss.

This is a reasonable place to get a bite to eat. If you don't expect miracles, you should be happy enough.
