Nhon Hoa — Restaurant in St. Albert

Ordered take out as I am traveling through town. I have never been so angry receiving an order from a restaurant. This is honestly a scam. Ordered the Tom Yum Soup — it came with no noodles. The soup is 6 mushrooms, a couple cuts of celery, canned tomatoes, and a single shrimp. This was $18.

We also ordered the vegetable soup, again it did not come with noodles.

I’ve attached a photo of the menu that we ordered from, which lists the soups immediately following the noodle / vermicelli dishes.

We called in immediately as it was surely a simple mistake. The woman on the phone was incredibly rude and simply told us “noodles must be ordered additionally”, all the while their menu does not state that anywhere — nor did they ever ask at the time of ordering “would you like to add noodles?”. With zero resolution to any of this, the woman immediately told us “anyway we are closed” and ended the call (around 7:45). Who in their right might would order this, or anticipate it doesn’t include noodles? I have never in my life experienced this from a Vietnamese restaurant. I live in Vancouver and frequent various Vietnamese restaurants weekly, and have spent months traveling in Vietnam.

I am in disbelief as to how someone can sell clear broth, canned vegetables, and a single shrimp to a customer for nearly $20 and...

My son and I ordered beef pho, bun bo hue, and spring rolls. I made the mistake of asking for pho noodles in them, and I got rice noodles instead. The soup was ok, and the portions were very small. Spring rolls sizes were also on a diet and did not come with fish sauce but rather plum sauce in a packet. The garnish(bean sprouts and lime) was old and dried out. There is no washroom in the facility, so beware. The ambiance of the place was very donair like(not to say donair places are dirty or anything). I didn't try the sandwiches, but I did see them getting made, and after seeing that, I would make the trek to Chinatown and get one that will somewhat taste close to a banh mi. This review is strictly of my personal honest experience and not of others....

The king of banh mi is in Calgary at a place called ThiThi. Unfortunately no one in Edmonton is even close to that. We have been to this location a few times but was really disappointed on the last one. Every time we have to wipe the tables clean. What annoyed me though this time is the young fellow that was working there was sitting on the back on his phone rather than cleaning the table that had dishes on it. What really got me though to write this review was the meat. Yes inflation is making everyone cut corners but using meat that is super chewy is completely unacceptable. Had to spit out over half the meat as it was full of gristle or plain simply not edible. Will give it one more chance at some point in time so hopefully by then they have things...
