I need to first send out props to my fellow Yelpers for their reviews of this place. Moved to the area, short on funds & needed a warm meal on such a rainy cold day.
This place is so amazing, have been telling everyone about it!!
The staff is so quick, helpful & upbeat. They made my visit completely enjoyable.
Spring rolls to start...oh my gosh they are the best I've ever had! Fresh, not greasy & so crispy. I then had the beef soup & a medium was so massive! I joked asking if they had smaller sizes, my waitress said not on the menu, but that you can ask for a half-size. I have never eaten such a delicious soup like this before. The beef was so tender & the noodles VERY filling. Had to leave about half, as the noodles expanded in my tummy.
For beverages, had the green tea very warm & how can you go wrong at only $1/person. Also had the strawberry pina-colada, so delicious highly recommend it!
I literally was full for the rest of the day & my bill came to total less than $20. Will be back most definitely! The staff is what made my first visit so welcoming. This is a place I recommend to completely everyone who reads this. Darn, my mouth is watering writing this & I am craving their food lol.
* An update - Phoned today(April 30th) & was informed they do "not" deliver sigh. -
Review from Wendy P.
Alright, my server alone gets 5 stars. She was adorable!! Always attentive, and just a wee bit quirky making jokes and the like. Like with one of the other tables in the restaurant, a lady and her friend had settled in at a table near the window and then decided they wanted to move to the back of the restaurant. "Sorry to complicate things!" the lady said. "Oh, don't worry about it. Life is already complicated!" our server joked in return.
As for my food, I got my usual grilled pork on vermicelli with spring rolls, here it's #27. The spring rolls were hot, crispy and fresh! And it all came out of the kitchen pretty quickly. As per usual, there were way more noodles than I could finish, but I ate up every last piece of pork, spring roll and tried to get as many sprouts out of there as I could. Gotta get my veggies in after all!
Only downfall I can see here? They're closed on Sundays. -
Review from Reginald T.

I can't believe I've come here so often and have yet to write a review.
At the time when I first found this place, it was when I didn't frequent that part of town much and I was actually looking for Don's Photo to window shop or price-compare a piece of photography equipment I had my eye on.
At first, I thought my memory deceived me, but as I walked around back and saw the Don's Photo sign, I realized that I was in the right area and that Don's Photo no longer existed here in Calgary.
I noticed that Thanh Long was (relatively) new to the strip (at least to me), and being hungry (and slightly disappointed after coming all that way) decided to grab a bite there.
As many people have already indicated, service is the number one reason why this place rocks. They really care about their customers, and as I've sat and watched, are on a first name basis with some of the regulars.
Each pho place makes their broth differently, and the broth here suits my taste well. I've tried their combo rice plate, and it too was scrumptious.
My only wish is that this place were open later, but you can't complain too much when it comes to the independent, family-run places.
With reasonable prices (especially when considering other food establishments on 17th Ave) and fantastic service, I hope this business sticks around for a long time to come. -

This is the best Vietnamese place I've eaten at, pho sure.
(sorry, I couldn't resist)
I love the vegetarian pho. Big chunks of vegetables and tofu and lots of noodles. They will make it spicy for you if you ask. Their salad rolls are delicious as is the peanut sauce they come with. The mango bubble tea is also quite yummy.
The staff here is wonderful. Bev (the owner) suggested I get the medium rather than the large bowl of pho and she was right. I was full after the medium. They come back to check on you and your water glass is always full. The staff know a lot of the people that come in by name and it feels very close-knit.
The prices are extremely reasonable. You come out feeling full and happy that you didn't spend a ton of money.
I highly recommend this restaurant. I've been here a few times and have never been disappointed. I plan on having the staff know my name too! -

Best Vietnamese food in the city. Vermecelli is out of this world! Boyfriend likes the beef soup. Customer service doesn't get ANY better. Lovely ladies (owners) take pride in their business and put names to faces if you've been there more than once! Not often you see that in Calgary.
We go once or twice a month, she calls us by name and asks about how we're doing and remembers our conversations from the last visit. Love this business. -

Best fast non-fast food in the city! The service is amazing and Bev really does remember everyone's name and their favorites. I always get #27 (shredded pork and spring rolls on vermicelli) - yum!

Is it weird that I like this place mainly because of the service? They have amazing staffs there. They are friendly and they are quick! And the lady (I think she's the owner) is amazing. She knows her customers by name! This is what keeps me going back to this restaurant. I mean, the food is ok. It's hit and miss. Then again even if it's a miss, it's pho...how bad can it be really?

Love it! The people there are so nice. They move real quick. They are out to please. I went in because I really wanted bubble tea. They don't have tapioca in the winter so the owner made me with Jellies. It was pretty good. However once I got there, and I had a taxi waiting outside...I decided I needed some noodles and shrimp take out! So she rushed it for me and wow, was it ever delicious!!!!!! Will definitely go back!!

If you're on 17th ave and you're craving Pho on the cheap then come to this restaurant. It's the standard Pho fare. The broth is excellent. I asked the staff about the broth and was told it takes all night to make, which is standard. Unlike many Vietnamese restaurant's where they bring you your food and never come back the service here is really quite good. They seem to appreciate their customers.

This Pho location on 17th avenue does a mean Pho; and although it is a little steeper in price and it isn't the most spectacular Pho that I have ever had, what separates this Pho house from the rest is the extremely amazing service. The wait staff here are amazing, the place really needs to be experienced, the food and the rest are just icing on the cake in this yelper's experience.

Friendly staff, but food was decidedly underwhelming. I ordered #27 based on a recommendation. Got some very sad-looking mystery meat plus a very few veggies on top of some noodles. Nothing in the experience said they were interested in providing good food, nothing approached the average meal experience you'd get anywhere in town. Oh well, lots of other choices on that street.

This is my favorite Vietnamese west of forest lawn. Beverly is amazing! She's the real reason that we keep coming back. She always knows what my husband & I want. I always order a 28 beef with half the noodles which she is happy to customize for me.
