BINH Vietnamese Restauraunt — Restaurant in Calgary

I was in the area and decided to try this restaurant out. First impressions were great, the restaurant was clean, airy and I was promptly greeted. After looking through the menu, I decided on the crispy noodles with beef (number 94). I appreciated that the cutlery presented to me was covid friendly, everything was kept separate. My food arrived promptly and that's when things started to go downhill fast.... the portion presented was super small and there was barely any beef in it - i'm talking maybe 3-4 small pieces. Not only was there a lack of meat, it also tasted off. I don't know how to describe it but it had an unpleasant sour taste, like the meat was on the verge of going bad (but was rinsed) and besides the lack of meat, there was an abundance of cheap filler vegetables (onion and celery), maybe a sprig of cauliflower and broccoli. I was going to bring it up to my server, but there was a bit of a language barrier, so I left it as is and chalked it up to not going back again. I would not recommend this place, and reading other reviews as well, it seems like cutting corners is the norm...giving 2 stars based on the cleanliness and the quick service. I would suggest...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Delightful Vietnamese Experience at Binh Vietnamese Restaurant! I stopped by Binh Vietnamese Restaurant today, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit! The dish I had was absolutely delicious—a perfectly grilled pork chop served over fluffy white rice, paired with delicate vermicelli noodles topped with fresh herbs, pickled carrots, and a sprinkle of green onions. The plate was rounded out with vibrant slices of cucumber and tomato, adding a refreshing crunch to every bite. What really elevated the meal was the thoughtful presentation and the little extras: a side of flavorful broth with green onions and a small bowl of dipping sauce that added such a zesty kick. The balance of flavors—savory, fresh, and slightly tangy—was spot on, making every bite a treat. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, with a clean and simple setup that let the food take center stage. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine that’s both comforting and full of flavor, Binh Vietnamese Restaurant is the place to go....

The food was below average. I have tried few Vietnamese restaurants and this was just okay. Ordered fried rice, chicken curry, egg and bean from menu. Wifey and my kid ordered beef meatball and noodle soup. Their order was very bland. Totally didn't meet their expectation. Well my order is a different story. I had asked the guy if I would be receiving a fried rice with chicken curry and egg on the side. He nodded his head and said yes. Later on he brings fried rice with everything fried together. I kept waiting thinking rest of the sides will be coming any moment. It never came out and I had to call the guy to ask if I was getting anthing else beside the fried rice. He said that was it. The fried rice was very dry and I had to use the soup from my wife's noodle bowl to swallow. My question is why can't you just say chicken and egg fried rice and things would be much clearer instead of writing fried rice, chicken curry, egg and beans. Very misleading and staff were not helpful in explaining the menu. Would I go or recommend this place,...
