| - 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!
