Went here with my family and was thoroughly disappointed. Had the bun bo hue which wasn't authentic and used pho ingredients. My Vietnamese parents had the pho which I tried and it was alright, not the worst, but far from the best. The decor was alright, but covered in plastic covering which ruined the vibe and aesthetic of the restaurant. The service was friendly and passable. Overall, despite their best efforts, I cannot recommend this place over the vast amount of better options in Calgary.
Hands-down my fave Vietnamese restaurant in the city. 99% of the time I'm ordering up a 31B (Satay Peanut Beef Noodle Soup), but every other dish that I've ordered has been fantastic as well. Service is always on point, and the guy who runs it is always super friendly to me.I've heard that their building is part of a redevelopment project, and I hope they re-open somewhere close. I mean, I'll gladly drive to Chestermere if I have to, but I'd love for them to stay in the neighborhood.
Waited 15 minutes to get water and service, and that was only after I stood up and asked if we could order.Ordered the standard beef noodle soup. Soup was ok, but the beef tendon was absolutely disgusting. It was rubbery and tasted like plastic. I almost threw up. This was probably left sitting for years in the freezer when it should have been thrown out after expiry.The prices is quite high for a Vietnamese place. Yet the quality and service is non existent. Not worth my time.
I’ve been to a dozen Vietnamese restaurants in Calgary and this place is up at the top. Wonderful flavour for pho, salad rolls are dynamite, and place very good at accommodating food allergies.
We had the lemongrass chicken salad rolls, beef Pho and Curry chicken soup. The curry soup was by far the best. They were confused when I asked for chilli paste. But their menu has gluten free choices clearly laid out.
BEST VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT IN CALGARY.Don't look further in reviews. Must visit.Best items,1. Satay Chicken curry Pho soup2. Mixed seafood satay soup3. Fried rice ? ?All items are incredible.This restaurant satisfies even my taste buds and they are NEXT LEVEL
Have been coming here for several years, one of my favorite restaurants. Great flavors, good value and clean dining room. One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Calgary!
Veggie options. Really large serving for the price great cheap eats. Really yummy veggie spring rolls on the vermicelli bowl. My partner had wonton soup with egg noodle and it seemed bottomless.
Van Son has quickly become our favourite Vietnamese restaurant in Calgary. Not only is the food consistently good, they are very gluten friendly. The two celiacs in my family feel very comfortable eating here.
Amazing INTERPROVINCIAL SUPPER!!I had business in Saskatchewan this weekend and my friends asked for their favorite Lemongrass Chicken dish and Beef Salad Rolls from Van Son.I ordered the food and asked for it to be wrapped specifically because of my long journey ahead. They were so accommodating!The food from Van Son made it all the way to Saskatchewan and we feasted like kings that night.Thank you Van Son! You never disappoint.
