| - Vietnamese Village is located off 65th avenue in the NE, right across from the Deerfoot Mall. I work in the NE so whenever I'm craving Vietnamese, I normally hit up Basil but I've always wanted to try some place new. I first heard about Vietnamese Village through a coworker. He mentioned that they have some great satay pho. He specifically said that the satay didn't leave the oil layer on top of the soup like some places do and the satay is 'real' satay and it tastes delicious. I was intrigued so I decided to check this place out during one of my lunch breaks.
A small group of us went during the lunch hour which is typically from 12PM - 1PM. VV has their own parking lot and it was quite busy during lunch. We were able to find a parking spot and waited just a few minutes before we were seated. I found the decor to be interesting and random. Red, green, white decorations scattered throughout the restaurant, very unique and fun. We were seated at a booth which was roomy and there are pictures of some menu items on the table under see through plastic so if you were having some trouble placing your order, you can look at the appetizing photos and make your decision from there! There is also complimentary jasmine tea when you are seated. Most of us went with the recommended beef satay pho (PH17). For a lunch hour, our meal came out pretty fast! Each of us had a bowl of pho and there was a side of bean sprouts, limes, chili peppers and mint leaves to share. I piled some bean sprouts on, squirted a bit of lime juice and tore some mint leaves up for my soup. I took a spoonful and it was heavenly! The satay taste is not watery but is thick and full of flavor. The green onions scattered throughout the pho and the bean sprouts you put on give it a nice crunchy texture. The beef was nice while the noodles were cooked perfectly ... I ate/drank everything!!
Overall, service was good, nothing spectacular...our waters were topped up but we were left alone most of our time...which can be nice as we're all just chatting away. The pho was great! This is now my go to place for beef satay pho, I just love it...it has to be the satay in the broth! Sooo tasty!! And the prices are reasonable, one bowl of pho, maybe share some spring/salad rolls and it should fill you up! Vietnamese Village is the place to go if you are craving some tasty pho on these cold snowy days, it'll warm you right up and hit the spot!
ps. I rhymed a bit there at the end...not intentionally but it works....teehehe
