Vietnam Fortune Restaurant - Calgary, Alberta

I order from here on Uber Eats all the time, they will always be my go to for good vermicelli! Food is always delicious and hot on arrival. They pack the items with care, I’ve never had an order leak in the bag from here. This time I got vermicelli ... with beef, shrimp and spring rolls and it was amazing as always. Read more

It was the first time I had a Bun Bo Hue that came without any pork knuckle at a Vietnamese restaurant. Even the menu picture and description showed the pork knuckles. (Ordered 2 of them) The server, believed to be the owner, explained that many white people didn't like that ... so customers had to ask in order to have it. (None of us on the table were white.) He said there were 'small print' on the menu mentioning customers had to ask. Apparently, I didn't expect to read small prints on a food menu since my eyes were on the food picture only. (Not sure if their menu changed as it was a few months ago.) We emphasized again that we really would like to try the pork as we expected that since it was on the picture in their menu and on the pictures taped on the wall, yet he refused and repeatedly told us to ask for it on our next visit. The owner couple started to play videos with their phones on high volume sitting at the other table while we were eating. It was very annoying. We couldn't eat our meal quietly. There would be NO next visit from us. Read more

Was great to have a meeting with a colleague here! Charming little place with friendly staff! The food was delicious! He had a soup dish with peanut butter broth, which sounded experimental but he said it was great! I had wor wonton soup with vegetables, and we had deep fried ... wontons as an appetizer. Food, restaurant interior, and lovely artwork and décor all pictured! Thanks folks, will definitely be back! 🙂🙂🙂 Read more

I have to say this place is a solid 4.5/5 for the following reasons: 1. Flavor of the broth (I ordered regular sate beef). Very flavourful, had plenty of sate flavor. 2. Texture of noodles. Especially as more places are struggling with cheaper noodles due to inflation, this place uses thicker flat ... rice noodles that was very texturally pleasing to me. I haven't found a place that served thicker noodles. 3. Price - large portion (1 bowl fed me twice as i brought it home). Their promo pricing meant I got a bowl of noodles and a pop for a little less than $14 not including tip. 4. Beef, they included quite a lot of meat and I enjoyed that they had a little bit of fat on them rather than the extremely lean/overcooked beef I usually find with other places. Is the service great? Not really, but pho lovers know that we don’t typically go to a yummy pho place for the service. It’s always a plus of course, but most of the time we’re there for a fast, filling and satisfying bowl of noodles. Will be back! Read more

As a newcomer to Canada, the marketing of Dollar-saving food items appealed to me more than health-saving ones. I forgot that health is also wealth, and I plundered my wealth. After a meandering life’s journey, my need for well-prepared and healthy food landed me at the steps of the Vietnamese Fortune ... Restaurant on Kensington and 14 St NW junction in Calgary, AB, Canada. It has a main floor and a basement. The restroom for men is a simple stairway down from the main floor. It had adequate paper towels and a handwash that smelled so good that I had to jot down the Savon De Royal brand. The restroom is not opulent but is sufficient for the purposes it was built for. The temperature was cool downstairs, and it reminded me of a serene breeze on the Sun-kissed faraway island. The main floor and the food were the perfect temperatures, fighting the Calgary weather of -17°C with a wind velocity of 6 Km/hr impressively. I was delighted to be waited upon by none other than L.O.G.E herself. She brought the chef’s prepared food, which was delectable in flavour and delicately translucent texture. I spent 20 - 30 minutes feasting there. More than seven drivers from Uber Eats, Skip The Dishes, and those that ordered via phone poured in. The attached pictures include the restaurant’s ambiance, food quantity, and nourishments (Veg spring rolls and fried rice). I questioned why the boxes on the main floor encroached on the restaurant space. I learned how the current market conditions got affected by different countries quibbling with each other like bickering children. So, to the Long Overdue Goals And Negotiations (L.O.G.A.N) in our country, L.O.G.E (Lady of Great Efficiency) requires you to negotiate vermicelli prices better, so the business and the chain stores she shops at can mutually aid each other. She was modest to remove the spotlight from herself and shine on the place of work instead. I feel we must be supportive enough to help her and the establishment’s progress. Read more
