    Sweet and sour soup. An Chay - Edmonton, AB
    Christina B.

    Happy house here ! Last minute decision to pick up our NYE eats from An Chay. We were blown away with the Quality and presentation of our take out. Must orders: Bun Hue ~ Specify your Spice tolerance. The broth is full of flavour !! Sweet & Sour Soup - What everyone else has said. Nomnomnom. Papaya salad - Staple. I love this paired with Bun Hue. The papaya salad, cuts the heat in this wickedly spicy broth. Verdict: If you have not eaten or ordered from An Chay, DO IT NOW , You won't be disappointed !!

    Returned this week and tried spring rolls (not at all greasy). Satay noodles were consistently excellent. Awesome veggie food in new restaurant w cool vibe. Easy background music - none of the big bass techno music. Recommend shredded tofu rolls - crunchy vegetables w tofu in rice wrapper. Green papaya salad is the best I've had - and pretentious moment here, I've been to Vietnam. Haha. I had the satay noodles w a broth that would satisfy a carnivore, it's so hearty. Dinner mate had spicy noodles that were also delicious. End your meal w burdock tea for your digestion and a healthy liver (according to traditional Asian lore). Definitely a place to return to again and again.

    Nice balance of ingredients in the salad rolls

    I've been wanting to try this place since they opened and I'm so happy to finally be able to. Their food is super fresh and the quality is great. I tried the curry tofu salad rolls (definitely taste the curry but it's not overpowering) and it comes with a peanut sauce to dip. $9.90 for 4 rolls. The 3 colour bowl for $16.50 has crispy spring rolls, shredded bean curd and what they call tempura, but is similar to a vegetarian sausage. Cones with "fish sauce". I really enjoyed everything and am looking forward to trying more from the menu.

    Tried this place out about three times now, I have to say this place has legit good tasting vegetarian vietnamese food. I have to admit that I was pretty skeptical in the beginning because I could not picture vegetarian vietnamese food... but it is delicious here. An Chay translates directly to "eat vegetarian" in English. The flavors, the presentation and the blend of different items just works. It also does taste like the real dishes, but just vegetarian style. Since coming to this restaurant I tried the springrolls, green papaya sald, satay noodle soup and also the regular vietnamese noodle soup. The spring rolls were crispy and fried with fresh oil. The "meat" added a great flavour and texture to the overall dish. The "fish" sauce added a kick of spice. I felt content and happy with all of my choices so far since I have been here. This is the first vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant in YEG. I plan on trying some more of their appetizers next time and the vermicelli bowls, which look delicious. I think the only downside I see right now are the portions. We finished the dishes easily and still felt a bit hungry after. Could've gotten a XL pho at any other vietnamese restaurant for around $12 and be full off that. I guess that's the trade off for healthier options, but I do not regret it. I will definitely be coming back.

    A vegan/vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant that's as good as it gets! Came here with a bunch of co-workers, most of whom are not actually vegetarian, but everyone enjoyed their meals. I had vietnamese rice paper rolls with some kind of marinated tofu instead of meat that was absolutely delicious, would not have known it wasn't pork if I hadn't assembled the rolls myself. The servings are generously sized - I could easily have shared my dish with another person, but it was delicious enough that I ate it all myself anyway. They also had an interesting burdock tea I hadn't tried before, which was very refreshing. It's convenient to the downtown area (right near the Structube on Jasper) but still far enough that parking in the evening wasn't a problem, even on a Friday. The only two negatives I can think of is that it closes unusually early at 8pm and isn't open on Tuesdays at all, so double check before you go. And they really don't have much selection in the way of dessert - on the day we went they had only one thing to offer (some kind of strawberry cake) and had run out of every other option. On the other hand, you'll probably be full enough from the main course you won't need dessert!

    Back in town meant seeing my two favourite vegetarians for food. I'm always skeptical when it comes to pure Vietnamese vegetarian restaurants but we decided to give An Chay a go. It's right next door to Die Pie. We dropped in on a Wednesday evening (around 7:15pm). There was only three other tables occupied while we were there. The inside is very open and you can see straight into the restaurant from all angles. Staff were friendly, prompt and refilled waters frequently. The menu is surprisingly short and sweet. One page with 5 appetizers and 10 entrees. Beauty. We wanted to try the betel leaf wraps but they'd already ran out. - Vietnamese ice coffee ($4.00) - L's never had one before! Strong coffee flavour. - Goi cuon (A2) ($7.00 for four) - marinated curry tofu, vermicelli, cucumber, lettuce, mint leaf, pickled daikon and carrot. It came with a peanut sauce. Curry tofu was flavourful with a hint of heat. Peanut sauce was freshly made and well balanced. - Bun hue (B4) ($15.00) - round noodles, spiced lemongrass broth, fried tofu, lotus root, enoki mushroom and vegan sausage. Broth had good depth and flavour, especially when you consider it's purely vegetarian. Impressed with the aroma and prominence of the lemongrass. My favourite entree of the night. - Hu tieu satay (B7) ($13.00) - flat noodles, satay sauce, fried tofu, bean sprouts, enoki mushroom, cucumber, tomato, basil and roasted peanuts. Broth was good but it could have been even more peanuty. - Com tofu xao xa ot (B8) ($13.00) - marinated tofu, lemongrass, asparagus and brown rice. Tofu was lightly fried but flavourful. Asparagus was an interesting choice along with sliced carrots. Rice was a healthy but small scoop. It's a few dollars more than your typical Vietnamese restaurant but if you're a vegetarian, you'll be in pho heaven. My two vegetarian friends loved it and even I was impressed with the quality.

    Lemongrass Tofu

    I actually have no idea how long An Chay has been sitting on this little corner of Jasper Ave and 112St and as a restaurant that advertises "Vegetarian Vietnamese Cuisine" it never really registered on my radar. However my partner, who is vegetarian, suggested it as a place to try one day and I am happy to say I was pleasantly surprised. An Chay isn't very big but has a lot of big windows so it provides a lot of natural lighting for a nice meal atmosphere and, as I already stated, it's on the corner of Jasper ave so it also provides a lively people watching experience. We were greeted promptly, despite there only being one server and our overall service experience was good. We ordered tofu salad rolls to share and then I order their satay soup and my partner got a lemongrass tofu I think. The salad rolls were fresh and came with a peanut sauce. My satay soup was good, not too spicy or too big. It was just what I needed that day to fill belly. I, initially, was a little weary around how the flavour would be seeing as there was no meat in the pho but it was quite tasty. My partner also really enjoyed his tofu dish, which came with "fish sauce" and rice. As someone who doesn't adhere or identify as a vegetarian, An Chay was a pleasant surprise and a place I would definitely revisit with my partner or a friend who wanted to go for Vietnamese cuisine. The food was flavorful and still captured the tastes of Vietnamese food and the atmosphere was very chill and relaxed. Plus their location is fairly ideal and there is street parking. I think my only side note would be that considering it is a vegetarian establishments, I thought prices were a little high - not drastically high or anything but enough for me to notice I suppose. Still worth a try for sure.

    Vermicelli special
    Vicki M.

    Second time here with friends and it never disappoints! An Chay is such a hidden gem for amazing delicious vegan/vegetarian food made with attention to detail and you never feel guilty after eating here. Service from Calvin is also friendly and attentive. Water glasses are filled throughout the meal. Get the vermicelli special and the papaya salad to start - both full or flavour and freshness and I'm already dreaming of my next visit back

    Vietnamese is one of my favourite kinds of cuisine and being a non-pork and seafood eater, vegan works well for me. An Chay is spacious, bright, and has lots of comfortable seating. The menu features spring rolls, soups, and vermicelli bowls, with the twist of everything being plant-based. Tofu and soy is mostly used for the protein. I had a vegan pho and found the flavour profile of the broth to be excellent, with lots of noodles, soft tofu, lotus root, and different kinds of mushrooms. Service is very friendly and the bathrooms are sparkling. Highly recommended.

    Spicy noodle soup
    Matt B.

    Ordered some takeout from here on a Thursday evening around 6pm and everything was ready within 5 minutes. We started with the fresh tofu rolls, which were very tasty -- the tofu they use is seasoned really wonderfully and the peanut sauce was great. I ordered the spicy noodle soup and my wife ordered the satay noodle soup, both of which were very tasty: lots of veggies, lots of noodles, generous portions, and amply spicy. We were certainly full. Bill came to about $43 after tax. Recommended place.

    Coconut Curry - yummy!
    Bernice G.

    I have been meaning to write a review for this restaurant for a while now. I absolutely loved it! We were greeted by the owner who was super friendly and made us feel at home. The menu has many delicious vegetarian Vietnamese dishes to choose from. My friend and I shared the Vermicelli Special and the Coconut Curry dish to share. Both were equally delicious! Lots of flavour, very filling and you can taste the 'homemade' comfort in love in each bite. I even enjoyed the 'fish' sauce which I normally dislike but I am assuming it was a take on fish sauce as this is a vegetarian restaurant. Not sure what the ingredients were but it alone had me convinced to come back ;-). All in all, if you like vegetarian and Vietnamese food, you should definitely check it out. It is worth your time and very reasonably priced. My only complaint is that they are not open past 8pm on the weekends which doesn't leave a lot of time for dinner if you like to eat later in the evening. I am looking forward to my next visit. Thank you for your hospitality!

    An Chay restaurant is a fantastic Vietnamese vegetarian/vegan restaurant on Jasper Avenue. Definitely a "strong" five out of five!! I enjoyed the Green Papaya Salad, and the Satay Noodle soup (fried tofu, bean sprouts, mushroom, tomatoes, basil, peanuts) , which was peanutty, savoury, and entirely delicious! The coconut curry soup is wonderful!! Admittedly, the decor is absolutely underwhelming. Still, it's casual, the staff are enthusiastic and helpful, and the food is top notch! This is precisely the kind of restaurant we need to support and enjoy! Looking forward to more hot soup over Edmonton's frigid winter!

    Vermicelli bowl
    Annie R.

    If you're looking for comforting soup, fresh vermicelli bowls, or maybe salad rolls then this is the place to go! I have come her a few times now and the food is always fresh and delicious. The service is very prompt and friendly and the food always seems to come out quite fast as well. I'm a big fan of the fresh tofu salad rolls with peanut sauce as the flavour combo between mint/peanut/curry-tofu is really outstanding. The vermicelli bowl is also very satisfying (and hearty!) and was full of fresh vegetables. I'm not usually a big fan of vegan 'ham' but it was very well executed in this dish. I'll definitely be coming back!

This is one of my favourite vietnamese places for soup and appetizers. The rice and vermicelli dishes are mediocre in comparison so make sure to order what they specialize in. If I come with a big group I like to order as many appetizers as possible as it's similar to vietnamese street foods like crepes, tapioca dumplings and deep fried goodies. All of it is authentic and delicious. My must orders here are the duck salad and soup combo. It's what I come here for as no other place in edmonton has it on the menu that I know of.

It's not one of those places you sit and chat and have drinks at. But for what they offer. It's affordable fast convenient and authentic. One of the best in edmonton!

Little has changed on the interior, except for the addition of a large fish tank. The menu is very typical of Vietnamese noodle houses, featuring a good selection of pho noodle soup, vermicelli noodle bowls, and rice dishes. I opted for a bowl of pho with medium sliced beef and brisket. My soup was full of meat which was reasonably tender and lean, and came in a broth that was well-seasoned. Colleen, my co-Volunteer Coordinator, ordered a bowl of Thai spicy pho, and she ordered it without any meat. She was happy with the flavour of her soup and its abundance of noodles. I started with a green onion cake, finding the two large rings of fried dough and green onions to be large and not too greasy, as well as a bit cheaper than I've had elsewhere. I also decided to do something I rarely do when I order pho - even though I find the complimentary green tea and broth from the soup to be more than enough liquid intake for one meal, I decided to try one of the iced drinks. Being a dreary winter day I felt some extra vitamin C was in order, and opted for a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice. It was incredibly fresh and full of pulp - I literally felt like I was drinking an orange in liquid form. Prices are in line, if not lower, than other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. Our entire meal, which also included a can of pop for Colleen, cost less than $25 before the tip. Service was fast and friendly and neither of us had any complaints about the food. Winter is the perfect time for a steaming bowl of pho, so consider heading to Viet Huong.

Not a fan of how lean the beef was though; I prefer some fattiness to my meat. My brother and mom both ordered a large bowl of pho and they felt the broth was watered down and bland. My mom felt the large size just meant more broth and did not feel full at the end of her meal. My mom also did not like how lean/tough the beef in her pho was either.

The Groupon is a good deal, but I don't know if I'd make this place one of my go-tos for Vietnamese food as there is definitely better out there.

Staff won't allow happy hour specials at discounted price despite being in happy hour time frame. Hoang long is a modern clean space with bamboo accents and a newly renovated area. There is a large patio out front for summer. But it being closed off made the entrance kinda blending in. I was looking for the entrance and walked right by it. Trying to figure out how you get in is a slight challenge. As the door blends in so well and it appears it's just the patio. But that's the entrance. I visited quite early during happy hour at around 6pm. The place was entirely empty except for staff which was slightly disheartening. But I'm sure this place is bustling during the lunch hours. Wait staff were slow to greet me so I sat myself and grabbed my own menus. The menu Is vast. A huge range of thai and vietnamese foods. From soups, sandwiches, grilled meats and stews. Looking through the menu was overwhelming but at least there is something for everyone. We decided on trying the chicken satays with peanut sauce. These were a famous item popular during the taste of edmonton. They did not disappoint. They charred them so nicely I could hear the fire crackling in the dead of winter. But the best part was the peanut sauce. They don't provide this during the taste of edmonton. But it brings the dish to new heights. I would say...stick to the grilled meats here. They don't disappoint. I throughly enjoyed my bun bo hue. It was authentic and tasty. It made my list for top 5 in edmonton for sure. Portion was perfect and the ratio of meats and noodles were just right. Another great dish. My only vice was that it was happy hour...advertised from 3-7pm. But the staff would not allow discounted prices despite it only being 6pm. They had decent options like wine, beer or a customized cocktail for $4. The server states happy hour is over despite it clearly stating it is until 7pm on the menu. I point to the board and he says it's full price. Whatever. I don't like misrepresentation on menus. And discrepancys are misleading. For this I minused a star. Service was haphazard. I seated myself. Got my own condiments and even got my own drinks. I had to go to the counter to order my food and pay at the register. All the server did was put the food on my table and clean it up afterwards. The whole process downgraded the whole modern vibe to more of a cafeteria style establishment. I felt jipped tipping bc i basically served myself. So minus another star. Overall. The food was great. Slightly overpriced. But the atmosphere reflects the price in the heart of downtown. Service was okay but the whole happy hour misrepresentation was a huge turnoff. I won't ever be buying drinks here in the future. Bc hey...they don't follow the advertised prices on the menu. It's decent. I would revisit if I am in the area.

Inside there was just one table occupied but there is a decent amount of seating for the lunch time crowd. It seemed cleaned. The combos they offer are a rice or noodle (pad thai that didn't look very appetizing) and then up to 3 or 4 items. The food was under heat lamps so I could see what the options were. I decided to get the fried rice and a few items. I choose a chicken first and looked at the other items before deciding on the vegetables with cashews. The woman serving me had the rectangle take out container about 2/3 full and she kept suggesting food such as the green beans and then the sweet and sour pork. Both didn't look very appetizing. I think she was hoping I would pay for as much food to get rid of since the lunch time crowd had passed but she wasn't generous with the quantity. I decided on the beef skewer and then was done. At half price I paid $7.35. I brought the food home and heated it up. I liked the beef skewer but the rest of the food wasn't very good. The food tasted greasy and I had to use my fingers to eat the chicken was it had lots of bones. I'm not sure if it's from this food, but I didn't feel well after. Definitely would not pay $14 for the food I had as lots of other great restaurants around. It would probably be better to go during the lunch hour when the food is hot and fresh but I'll pass next time I'm in the area.
