Watercress Express - Calgary

Tried this place on a whim, and compared to the other vietnamese options in the area this one was a clear winner. I really enjoyed their take on sate pho, and it was obvious they put effort into the quality and taste of the food. Some people prefer a more peanut-ish sate, I don't. The arrangement of everything was well done, the flavors were complex and amazing to take in. It was also so filling that despite really wanting to, I couldn't justify ordering another bowl for take out. I'll have to go back another time I'm hungry. They have less options on their menu than most pho places, though possibly can do changes for you, but what they do specialize in is 100% worth the effort. I very much believe a restaurant with a more specialized menu makes more quality food.

This place is amazing! So good! The chefs take their time and pride into what they ultimately bring to the table, very unique, delicious food!

This place is amaze balls! The flavours are authentic but transformed and reimagined. It is hands down the best Vietnamese takeout, bar none. For what you are getting, it is also the best deal in town. Sure the dining area is pedestrian, but you cannot find flavours as good in fancier dine-in places, and the intent is more takeout. Great job; keep up the good work.

Love this place! My bf wanted this rice dish but they didn't have, so we ordered something else but the owner made sure we were satisfied and gave us an another rice dish for free similar to the one my bf wanted but they didn't have on their menu! Wings were amazing! Presentation is very fancy and nice!

This place has the best and freshest Vietnamese around. It is a big step up from places like KoDo and Thai Thai. You can order out or sit down and enjoy a great meal which is nicely presented. It is a block east of 1410 and well worth a visit. Prices are really reasonable and the quality is top notch.
