Very good food. Fast and quite filling too. I was expecting less and I over ordered.
I will take friend here in the future. -

We eat here very frequently out of convenience because they are located within walking distance to our home. All the sauces that you apply yourself (sriracha, hoisin, fish sauce, etc) are watered down. The shakes leave a little to be desired.
The soups are always great and we've eaten them here many many times. Take out soup is provided with the meat in the broth and the noodles and vegetables separate. When ordering take-out soup there is no large bowl provided to eat the soup with so make sure you have your own at home.
The shrimp salad rolls are small and expensive for what you get. The dry vermicelli dishes are average quality. Don't order the Thai food, it's not very good. Service is quick like all Vietnamese restaurants. The basil leaves are always very fresh. They're fresh enough that we got one of their leaves to grow at home and now it's a little plant :).
If you're looking for good Vietnamese soup I recommend this place. If you like dry vermicelli bowls then it's not bad. We haven't eaten the entrées (pork chops, etc) because we can cook that stuff at home easily.
Parking gets pretty full at night and be careful about parking on the street because there are tow-away zones and some areas of the street don't allow parking during the day. They have a $15 minimum for debit & credit card which is annoying (and probably against their merchant agreement with their machine provider). -

"Fulfilling" was the word my sister used to describe the hot pot special we had at lunch today. Right now, Vietnam Palace has a hot pot / hot plate special for $19.99/person - buy for 2 persons, the 3rd is free. The special is on till February 10, 2010. What a deal! Unlimited appetizers of spring rolls, salad rolls, pan fried dumplings and deep-fried chicken wings. You order the hot spot special off a list like a sushi list - what do you want to eat - beef, shrimp is extra $3.00 per person, suey choy (vege), onions, tofu, carrots, bean sprouts, noodles and rice. Choose the soup you want - satay, tom yum or sukiyaki.
We had the sukiyaki soup base - just a nice clear broth. Didn't feel like hot and spicy today. The beef we ordered was nicely sliced and it's AAA beef sirloin and quite lean. We threw in the onions, carrots and the stems of the suey choy first to get it going as it takes longer to cook. Once the soup boils, the beef goes in and it takes seconds to cook the beef. Don't overcook it or it will taste like tough leather! Dunk your beef etc into the peanut sauce they give you. It's so good!
The best part of it all is at the end when the beef has all been cooked and the beef broth is just so tasty. Every drop of our soup was drunk.
We came away very, very fulfilled as my sister says.Listed in: My fave Calgary Restaurants

I'm going to knock one star off for inconsistency. Ordered an avocado shake today (we always get these) and it was like 5% avocado and the rest milk and ice. Returned it and received a better avocado shake, but the waitress was sort of surly and just waved us to the counter so someone else could "deal with it". Also, their prices went up by a buck all across the board. Shake portion went down as well.

I didn't like the soup from this place it didn't taste authentic. Most of the items under the Pho category had Rare Beef, so I told them to cook the beef to well done and it tasted like rubber. The tendons had a chemical taste to them and the soup was not clear or flavorful. This place is not my cup of tea!

I went there about 3 in the afternoon on a Tuesday because I had a yen for pho. The service was perfunctory but sufficient. The ambiance was "commercial Vietnamese"; not funky in any way shape or form. The restaurant was reasonably clean. I had the Special Beef Noodle. It came in a big bowl with the mint leaves, fresh bean sprouts, fresh lime all on the side; the hot sauce was already on the table. Heaven! Too much weird beef things in it for me though; I should have stuck with the Rare Beef pho - but that's my fault not theirs.
