This was one of my favourite meals in recent memory. After a long day of visiting family-in-law for a post-wedding meet-the-couple kind of celebration at a community hall, followed by a gift opening (yawn), I was seriously starving. The desserts at the community hall event had kiwi on them, which I am mega-allergic to, so I hadn't eaten since my disastrous Italian lunch date.
My husband's sister (the post-bride), who lives in Calgary, suggested Pho Huong Viet Noodle House. I love Vietnamese food so I was excited, but I had never been to a restaurant on her recommendation, so I had no idea what to expect.
They seated us quickly (table of 6) and gave us menus and drinks. Normally I would find it tacky, but in a Vietnamese or other ethnic restaurant, I find it really helpful when they have photos in the menu. They have a photo for literally every single menu item here. Amazing.
My spring rolls were ridiculously tasty. They came right after I ordered them. I got the veg, my husband ordered the meaty ones. I seriously can't decided which ones I liked more. They were both very tasty in their own way.
Our entrees came pretty quickly, too. My beef and veggies and rice weren't particularly exotic (I thought I'd play it safe), but very delicious. The rice was steamed, but had a faint flavour of coconut. Yum!
I was happy, full, and my wallet wasn't sad, either. $9 for a huge entree? Yeah, very impressed.
Calgary: I'm so jealous. You guys can go here anytime you want! So don't disappoint me. Check this place out! -

I love Vietnam food. This is the best in Calgary. I order the B11 usually. It is always good. And cheap. I also think there spring rolls are the best. Even better than in Vietnam.

After a novice hockey game for one son followed closely by a swimming lesson for the other, the boys and I decided to "try something different", meaning not fast food. We checked out on Yelp! what was close to the pool, and Pho Huong Viet looked good. It was less than an hour before closing when we arrived. We had a chicken wonton soup, a beef ball pho, and a grilled pork sub. And spring rolls to share, but the boys decided not to try them, so I got them all to myself. The service was fast, if a bit curt (it didn't help that we arrived near closing and my younger son took almost 15 minutes to figure out what he wanted). The food arrived quickly and everything was delicious. The comment from the boys was "We love Vietnamese food! When can we come back?" I passed these comments on to the owner, who beamed with pride. For my money, that's about as good as it gets.

I have been going here for about 10 years now(back when they were on Bow Trail across from Safeway). The springrolls are the best in town, actually even better than the ones my wife and I had in Vietnam(and they were pretty good) I always get the B11 and my wife gets the #9 soup. Latley my wife has turned me onto the Taro Root Bubble Tea. It's Tasty! This is a family run business. The price is average and the food is well above aver\ge.

I really like this place. It's a great local, family owned business and it's definitely in the top three Vietnamese places in Calgary according to my taste buds.
You can expect great, quick service. Portions are very generous and everything tastes really fresh. I'm a big fan of their Beef Sate Vermicelli dish.
There's lots of parking and it's very easily accessible from 17th, although there is a fair amount of construction in that area. It's a bit tucked in, so look at a google map or something before heading out. -

This is my go to Vietnamese restaurant. I'm glad to see they've been very successful after moving from their modest location by Westbrook Mall.
Pho Houng has a broad menu with many excellent dishes. Prices are very reasonable, portions are huge and service is quick. All in it's exactly why I hope for. Do try it, you won't be disappointed. -

Best sate beef noodle soup. Hands down.
The flavour is just bang-on.
Yummy charbroiled beef skewers appetizer. Sooo good.
I haven't been there since they moved locations because of C-train development (it seems every time I feel like going, it is a Monday and they're closed Mondays).
So reasonable!!! They bring out everything FAST!
It's a lil no frills and no fuss but what's wrong with that sometimes? Perfect for a chilly night when you want a tasty impact. -

This is your pretty typical Vietnamese restaurant. It's got all the usual stuff like pho, vermicelli, and rice dishes, and for a pretty average price.
There really isn't anything too extraordinary about Pho Huong, but it's a great restaurant to eat at. I would recommend sitting in though. Once I got delivery, but the food arrived pretty cold and it took quite some time. I prefer sitting down and taking my time with my warm, fresh food.
The people at Pho Huong are usually pretty nice too. They aren't overly enthusiastic, but they don't shun or snub you either. They seem happy that you are choosing their establishment and show it with gracious smiles.
If you're in the area, Pho Huong Viet is a good place to enjoy a nice Vietnamese meal. I wouldn't suggest going out of your way to eat here though. It's not that astonishing, just a classic family restaurant. -

One of the best Vietnamese restaurants I've eaten at in Calgary! Great value, too - lots of food for a low price. The staff are friendly and the service is quick, as long as you are eating in. (When I've ordered take-out I've waited much longer than those at tables.)
