The sweet & sour pork was slightly on the burnt side, but honestly, the flavour was still really good. It's also served in a super unique way -- it comes out sizzling on a cast iron skillet, which makes it feel extra special. The wonton soup is always a winner here. I order it every single time I come, and it never disappoints. The broth is incredibly flavourful, and the wontons are cooked perfectly. You have to get the spring rolls. They are hands down the best spring rolls I've ever had -- super crispy on the outside and served with what I think is a fish sauce/oil that is absolutely addictive. So, so good. The decor is a little dated, but the food more than makes up for it. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to.

It's a small restaurant but we have never seen it full although we haven't been there during peak hours perhaps. It is located at the Whitemud Crossing mall and has lots of parking.

The staff have been great to us and understand doing gluten friendly dishes. We usually do take out but would encourage anyone to try it for dining in or take out!

They've updated the space and given it a bright cafe feel with 12 tables and bench seating along the walls. The aromas were heavenly from the moment we walked in, the instrumental music played softly, and a waterfall by the door trickled calmly. We were greeted by the young owner and chef, Cathy. They are offering a free appetizer for the month of March with a minimum purchase. The menu is a bit sparse currently but she noted that a full menu will be coming shortly. We opted for the following: Large Spicy Beef Noodle Soup for $11.95 - raw beef steak, shank, and pork sausage. Hubs devoured this - flavorful and filing. The normal plate of bean sprouts, basil, and hot pepper also had mint and culantro. The noodles used in this dish are of a thicker variety. The spice was good but we could easily handle more. There is sriracha on the table and they will bring you additional options such as hot chili oil. Charbroiled Lemon Grass Beef for $11.95 - on vermicelli or rice with 2 spring rolls. Clean cuts of meat (she brought some chicken because they were didn't have enough beef). Lovely spring rolls and dichon (?) and mint instead of usual basil. Shrimp & Pork salad rolls for free today (regularly $6). The shrimp were the LARGEST I've ever had in a salad roll aside from when we make them at home. I appreciated that the order came with 2 ramekins of peanut satay sauce. The pork was lightly BBQ'd. Oh and tea is included here - two thumbs up. Dana - you reading this? ;-) We will most definitely be back and look forward to seeing what new additions will pop up on the menu! (Fingers crosses for a Spicy Satay Pho!)

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. But it definetly won't be a go to place that I would drive to if I was hungry.

I was walking by and didn't have lunch but saw the sign for half price combos from 2-4PM. It was a…read morelittle after 2 so I went in to check it out. 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.

So if your planning on a night out with great food and atmosphere maybe try somewhere else. But if your looking for a quick fix noodle bowl within walking distance of the Grey Nuns hospital and nothing else is Open, why not go for it.

I was very pleased on how much shrimp were in them. The Tom Yum soup was good as well, but I thought there was too much emphasis in the pineapple. Would I drive from Edmonton to go here again? No. However, it was very cost friendly. So if you happen to be in the park and want some tasty food to fill your belly, and be friendly to your bank account, check it out.
