Love the soups at Pagolac !
I enjoy the authentic flavours and the kitchen always makes extra spicey etc with no problem. The curried chicken vermicelli is great, as well as the beef tendon Pho. Maybe not the truest pho broth but quite nice still.
If I want a take out meal..it isnt in a drive thru...it is the #68 combo from Pagolac. This combo has lemongrass grilled pork (thin smokey flavour) la lop, crispy spring roll, tangy meatball...served on rice noodle, shaved lettuce, cucumber and thai basil..they add extra crispy shallots if you like and it is a great meal.
Fresh salad rolls are nice too.
Nice staff :) -

Those of you who were born in the 70's and 80's will feel just at home coming into Pagaloc South. Located in the used hub cap district of the city, the location of Pagolac is very unassuming and just straight up weird.
Walking into Pagolac is even weirder because everything is brown and made of planks of wood. You'll travel down a narrow hallway lined with aquariums and the washrooms. It's odd that this is what you would see first rather than the host. I guess that's just the nature of the old building.
Upon entering the dining area, you'll see chairs that were probably from the same hotel as The Shining and fake fish trophies lining the walls. It honestly feels like you're eating in a wine barrel. It's quite unique to say the least.
To be on the safe side, I ordered the beef noodle soup with sliced beef.
The bean sprouts that accompanied it was a little yellow and wasn't as fresh as other Vietnamese places. The dish came out pretty quick but my friend who ordered a grilled pork and rice came out very very late.
We had to ask for an update with the waiter to see where the dish was. To their benefit, this place was extremely busy for a Sunday lunch.
Although they had apologized for it, I do not believe there was any compensation. He had also ordered a bowl of rice additionally and this was also forgotten. I think because this was an "authentic" Vietnamese restaurant, I wasn't really taken back by their lack of attention to detail.
For some reason, I always think Asian restaurants pride themselves on quality of food rather than quality of service and have just grown accustomed to it.
Back to the food. My beef noodle soup was okay. Nothing to rave about, there was a hint of stale broth and old meat but it wasn't anything to stop me from eating. Add a dash of Hoisin sauce and lime juice and you should be good to go.
Table of four with mostly soups rang in at about $56.00. A decent place to get your Vietnamese on in this city. -

Yes Im a fan. I use to always come here for Lunch when I was at the U of A. There was like 10 of us and we got our food fast. The portions are huge and at a real real good price. The best chowmein Ive had in the city by far and so cheap. I love the atmosphere too. I cant say enough about the chow mein here. LOVE IT.

Unquestionably the best Vietnamese food in the city. We go there fairly often but given we live on the south side it's our definite go-to delivery option. Best spring rolls in the city without a doubt. Anyone who says different hasn't had these. Amazing vermicelli bowls, rice plates, etc. We probably order in from here once a week. Won't ever stop.

A coworker of mine introduced me to this place and we try to go back every month at least. When I first walker in the place it seemed kind of run down. The dinning area always seems full during lunch and dinner time. When I go with my coworkers we always sit in the lounge where they got TVs and of course drinks! The lounge never really seems full, once it was busy with a family birthday or something so we had to sit in the dinning area. The food has always been very good and the portions are bigger then what I expect! We always get the Ginger beef and sweet and sour chicken with spring rolls and salad rolls. And if we have enough room we order a deep fried ice cream as well! We always go home happy and full! Only complaint is a few times it seems like they forgot about us in the lounge area because it took forever to get our order taken and get our food.. But other then that it is really a good place to eat! Check it out if u enjoy Chinese and Vietnamese food! :D
