I've frequented this place with my family for a good decade or so. Everything has been great, but this last visit was standout amazing. The flavours and freshness of the food were so good, I haven't stopped thinking about the perfect al dente springiness in the noodles for the pho I ordered and the vermicelli in the salad rolls. Service was speedy and friendly. It's close to home so it's easy to stop by, but I'm going to have to go more often. read more

Really good pho when you're craving Vietnamese food. The noodles are just right and the beef was more flavorful and thicker cut than I'm used to seeing (nice!). To balance the strong broth out I also ordered a baguette (so fresh!) as a side. They also have good tea here. After tips my medium pho and baguette came out to $20, which reflects the reality of rising food costs everywhere. Owners are a nice couple from just south of Ho Chi Minh. I could see that their takeout service is pretty popular (huge menu!) and I'm looking forward to supporting this spot! I enjoyed the modern look of the dining area and easy parking that shares the same large lot as Tim Horton's and Co-Op nearby. read more

Lac Viet - 13(c) beef & tendon pho @LacViet (Beddington) - Vietnamese Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Starving and madly craving Vietnamese food one night, a group of friends and I placed an order from Lac Viet on SkipTheDishes. I have never been to the restaurant, so I can't rate anything but the food. I ordered the "Charbroiled Pork, Shredded Pork and Spring Rolls on Vermicelli" and added a beef meatball. For just under $10 for the dish, it seems like a bang for your buck, but truthfully, the food was mediocre at best. The beef ball was much more spongey than I've had in the past, the noodles were overcooked and sticking, and the spring rolls were dripping oil. The pork, which was both well-seasoned and not dry, was the only thing that saved the dish. This all happened after we each had a salad roll as an appetizer. The rolls came with no peanut sauce, which is a catastrophe for these totally unseasoned, bland, tasteless rolls. I love Vietnamese food, but with so many available options, it's a shame some restaurants don't put more effort into their food and pleasing their customers. I would have rather had them charge five dollars more for a tasty dish. I won't be placing another order with Lac Viet. read more

Food is decent. The restaurant is always very clean when you can dine in, and they are very quick for pick up orders. In my neighbourhood, so it's convenient read more

Definitely hit or miss. We have eaten here quite a few times and sometimes it's good (not great) and sometimes it's terrible. Last time the beef in the Pho was super tough and the salad rolls tasted like they had been made the previous day. read more

Great owners who are hardworking. Like this place for the vegetarian selections on their menu. Tasty and always very accommodating!

The food was very good, and if you are planning on coming here, I definitely recommend the wonton soup. Pho is also very good, so if you love Vietnamese food as much as I do then come to Lac Viet! read more

We live near here, and it's our go to place for pho. Because it's literally across the street. I do not recommend drinking the water there. I understand it's tap water and every restaurant uses the same water. Not sure if it is there cup or the way they wash the cup. There's a chemical taste to it. But other than that their vermicelli bowl is good. read more

3rd time here, last time ever. Had a stirfry in nested noodles. Served with over cooked out dated brocolli and cauliflower, chicken pieces tasted like left overs, the sliced beef was a boiled mess. This meal was not prepared with fresh ingredients or pride , it was slop fed to the next sucker sitting at the table. The pictures on menu looked delicious...mine didnt. I wont be back. read more

I love everything about Lac Viet. The food is so good, staff are super friendly, restaurant is clean and food is prepared quickly. Also the most vegan and vegetarian options I've ever come across at a Vietnamese restaurant. read more

Had a horrible experience at this restaurant. On their menu, there is a poor description for spring rolls. When I asked for them to be replaced with the correct menu item, I was scolded and told that I should know better. No exchange, no refund, extremely rude owner. I will not go back. read more

I've been hearing rumblings about a new Vietnamese place opening up in the neighbouring hoods. Always on the hunt for a new local place, I couldn't wait to check it out. Totally delivered. Lovely little space, clean and airy. Lots of parking. And for 1-1:30 pm, quite busy with a revolving door of people coming and going. Word gets out when there is a good thing in the hood. Three of us shared a couple dishes. Chicken satay with spring rolls, spicy chicken pho and some chicken salad rolls. The kids delighted in their large and in charge mango smoothies which were cleverly served in a to go cup. The smoothies lasted them all day. Food was simply delicious. Service really good. Lovely people who brought us our food quite quickly I might add. And as I looked around at other tables....almost everyone was having Pho. Must have been a pho kind of day. Plus it was good. Grabbed a take out menu, know we will be back. read more

We have been to this restaurant for a number of times now. The restaurant is very clean. It also has lots of room so you do not feel claustrophobic as you do in some restaurants that pack people in like sardines. The servers are friendly and the food is comparable or better than other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. read more

I was very surprised by the Beddington area - lots of pubs, a few fast food places, but not much in between. We almost stopped at an A&W because we needed something quick when D spotted this little vietnamese place. The idea of eating something quick, fresh, and flavourful was more appealing than the fast food option and we did not have time for a full sitdown pub experience. We went in and got a seat at a nice little booth in the corner then poured through the menu, settling on a couple of bowls of #41 - Grilled Lemongrass Chicken with Vermicelli and Spring Roll. I've never had a vermicelli bowl where the noodles were so freshly cooked that they were still warm. It was perfect! The salad was fresh with a very light dressing, and the spring rolls were hot and crispy. The sad part was the chicken - barely grilled, no lemongrass flavour, and not much of it anyway. Everything else was delicious right down to the fantastic hoisin sauce, but they definitely need to up the lemongrass and put some more chicken in that bowl. The ratio was 50% noodles (decent and tasty) / 40% salad / 7% spring roll / 3% chicken. If they can fix the chicken they'd be the best vietnamese place we've tried so far!! read more

This is my 'go-to' pho restaurant. Their soup is very fresh and flavourful along with their salad rolls and bubble tea's. I highly recommend this restaurant and I'm so happy that it's within walking distance from my house :) read more

Old, flavorless, gray-colored disgusting meat, mixed in with some fresh meat, in the beef soup. See attached photo. Tasted disgusting and old!! Probably the worst meat I've had in a pho. Ice coffee was not very good either. Will never return to this place!! read more

Great place. I had the chicken satay pho, really good. Atmosphere is great!! Very clean and tidy, even the bathrooms are spotless. I'll definitely be back here!! read more

I have eaten here a couple of times now, once when it first opened where the food was decent, and then last night. I ordered the typical white man dish, and an order of pork dumplings. I found the food average in taste, and an off taste to the spring rolls. IMO, the best place for Vietnamese is in Hunterhorn... but maybe I shouldn't say this, as then there will be an increase of customers going to my fave Vietnamese restaurant which could result in me and my friends waiting longer for a table, so on second thought... yes, you should eat at Lac Viet. read more

This is my new favourite restaurant. It's clean, the staff friendly, the food is quick,fresh and hot. I work nearby and I'm able to get in and out within my half hour lunch. My favourite dish is #51. I love supporting awesome local digs. Try it, you won't be disappointed. read more

We went here because my fav place was closed this day and had heard some good things about this new place. The food wasn't bad - it wasn't great either. There are so many places around here with great Vietnamese that I probably won't make it back here unless it's an emergency pho situation. There was a lack of flavour that's for sure. I will say that I was impressed with the decor and cleanliness though. Better decor than most pho places. read more

This was my first time at Lac Viet and I was pleasantly surprised. The lemon grass chicken was great. Although the menu said "spicy" it wasn't - and I was fine with that. I'm a mild salsa girl so this was perfect. The service was fast and it was quite busy with a younger crowd. read more

Fabulous. Food served quickly, flavourful, hot, and cooked perfectly. Good location, great service and well lit so you can see what getting and eating is correct. When ever in there was busy with couples, families, and groups. Will travel from new home in SW to eat there. One of the few things i miss when i lived in beddington read more

I've been here several times, usually for pickup. I always call ahead and the food is ready by the time I arrive.

When this place first opened in Beddington, I thought, "Hey, another place close to my house besides the one I grew up with (Pho Thanh)". I went there several times and I have to say, it's not that up to par compared to other pho places. The pho sizes are quite average so no complaints there, however, the contents of the pho disappoint me. There was not that much meat compared to other pho places and it was basically 40% vermicelli and 40% soup. In addition, the service is below average. Most of the waitresses seem like they do not want to be there and do not provide comforting and welcoming service although it is friendly service. They also tend to make more mistakes than they can account for. For example, one waitress asked us if we wanted our bean sprouts raw or cooked. I clearly stated we wanted them raw except she comes back with a plate of basil and steaming hot bean sprouts (clearly not raw). In addition, the pho we ate had clumps of beef instead of slices of beef which made it really hard to enjoy the beef slowly as it was all in clumps. Price wise, the appetizers are overpriced so I do not recommend getting them. For there large pho, average price was 10 dollars, however, for the same price, I can get a pho with more contents in the bowl at Pho Thanh (and for a dollar more I can get an X-tra Large pho at Pho Thanh). Overall, not a good go-to place for pho but if I'm out of options then I'll go to this place. read more

When this place first opened the food was great. The food quality has dropped a lot. Service is always good though. I was here a week ago, and ordered pork and shrimp salad rolls. It was gross and sorely lacking in ingredients. It wasn't pork, but some sort of processed meat (spam maybe?). Only lettuce and vermicelli noodles. No carrots, or other ingredients like they used to put in their salad rolls. I ordered the vermicelli bowl with beef and shrimp. Two pieces of shrimp, and you could barely find beef in the bowl. They are cutting back on ingredients in a big way. I was hopeful this place would maintain the good quality, but it's dropped a lot and I won't be coming here again. I'll stick to the place in hunterhorn plaza. read more

the place is clean and service is mediocre. they were upset at me for not making fresh food. the soup was edible, meat is old and not fresh. the coke has a funny taste, too flat, co2 is out maybe. spring rolls are old and reheated, i saw them using a microwave almost exclusively. if i wanted to eat out of a microwave i would have reheated yesterdays leftovers. the vermichelli and beef sate was cold and old. everything reheated. im local too so its dissapointing. i might give them another chance read more
