Spring Rolls — Restaurant in Lethbridge

I have been enjoying food here for 30 years, but now won't be back, and neither will my family members because of this experience, and how this last year, the food has been underwhelming and tasteless. I dined in mid afternoon, and ordered a rice vermicelli bowl, but just wanted barbeque pork and shrimp; no spring rolls or shrimp paste. I also requested extra lemongrass, because lately the bowls have been pretty flavourless and blah. Thought that might make the difference. This seemed to be a difficult order to comprehend, as the husband and wife were both at my table, making a unnecessary fuss. It was pretty clear to me what I wanted, but back in the kitchen, they both were loudly arguing back and forth, for a good 10 minutes until my meal came out. When my order arrivied, it had an extra ingredient that I didn't ask for and I've ordered this dish 100's of times. They slapped on some gooey, greasy, garlicy, fried onion slices... I was about to puke. Scraped them to the side and thought maybe it's a new feature on the dish, and dug in. No extra lemon grass, old and tough shrimp; def not fresh. I pushed my dish away because it was inedible. Asked them for a box to to package it ... that was a mistake. I should have refused to pay instead, it was just that bad. Went to the till to pay. It's usually $18 and change, but the man charged me over $26!!! I said "my that's expensive!", and he beligerantly said "Yup!" I didn't want to make a scene, so I paid for it and bailed. Sooo mad he price gauged me for the lousy meal!! Since whwn is that ethical?? I cannot recommend this restaraunt and wont eat there again. Too bad, quite sad, we've had many delicious meals and many family gatherings there. Our kids grew up on Spring Rolls food...

Delicious food. The vermicelli and rice dishes are good, but I primarily go here for the soups as no other Vietnamese restaurant can match the authentic flavors. The #70 or #71 BBQ on noodle soup with duck (make it spicy if you dare), and Hong Kong-Style Beef Brisket Noodle Soup are worth a try. For noodles the #57 House Special Vermicelli- Bun Dac Biet is the best bang for your buck as it is loaded with protein. If you do not want it on noodles, they will put it on rice for you. #35 Shredded Pork, Crab Meat Basket Egg, Bean Curd Skin, Shrimp Paste, and Charbroiled Pork Chop on Rice - Com Tam Bi Cha Suon Nuong, Tau Hu Ky is right up there too. I wouldn't agree with the other posts on the portion size or quantity of meat. I have eaten here many times for years and I have never left hungry. Even better than the food are their prices. They have been able to maintain their pricing and it is very reasonable which keeps me coming back as it wont break the bank. I find other places in town over charge for what they are selling. Their service is quick enough that if you want to go over a lunch hour you will have plenty of time to eat. The owners are kind and polite and after going a few times they will remember you and what you typically get. Five...

We have heard people saying good comments about this spot so we decided to try it out. We went on a Saturday night and it was reasonably quiet. A few take- out orders were picked up and there were others enjoying their dinner. We started with some slhrp salad rolls which were fine but perhaps made a bit too far ahead as they were kind of rubbery. The server was very helpful figuring out what was what in the menu including gluten free options. I ordered the 94a which was a salt & pepper shrimp with rice. They have many gluten free options so I asked if this too could be made that way and they accommodated my sensitivity. There were some peppers, garlic and ginger involved and a dozen good sized shrimp. It was very tasty. My husband ordered the special seafood and coconut soup I think which is featured in the new menu offerings as was my dish. The restaurant is a small, tidy spot but has a fair bit of seating. The prices...
