This restaurant is on the second level of an office building, and its worth searching out. The turnaround time is amazing during lunch hour, you can be in and out in 30 minutes during the lunch rush. The service is prompt and friendly, and the food is satisfying and cheap. I really enjoy the vermicelli here. The egg rolls are crispy and meaty and the vegetables are fresh. Even though it is a zoo at lunch time, the turnaround and food preparation is so quick that it’s never a long wait for a table. I also love the mini candies they give out with the bill!

Maybe it was the lunch time rush hour, but the food took 30minutes to arrive. I was not impressed with the quality or service or the food either. «Meh. I’ve experienced better.»

This is probably home to some of the best vietnamese food Calgary has to offer. Their service is pretty good, and fast and they have the most delicious menu items. Honestly their phở tastes just the same as if you were to actually travel to Vietnam, and their spring rolls are to die for. I am definitely a spring roll fanatic and have had my share of different kinds from different places but nothing I have tried tastes as good as oriental phoenix’s

The food here is really good… The spring rolls are delicious… And the beef in my main dish was great too! Also, the location is just great. It is in the middle of downtown with access through the +15. The Service is ok. I would go back there…

Oriental Phoenix is my favorite restaurant in Calgary. Their grilled lemongrass chicken is to die for, completely unlike lemongrass chicken I’ve had anywhere else. We’re also a big fan of their rice paper wrapped appetizers– try the summer or BBQ pork rolls. The secret seems to be their sweet-sour-spicy vinaigrette. So delicious. Highly recommended. Caveats: This place is downtown and is therefore a zoo at lunchtime as all the office workers pour into it. Come for dinner instead, they’re pretty much empty at 6 – 7PM. The service will occasionally keep you waiting– not for an excessive amount of time, but it will feel like it if you come too hungry.

Excellent sweet and sour chicken and authentic Vietnamese cuisine make this place a popular spot for lunch downtown. They’re good for dinner as well. My girlfriend loves their chow mien. You should know if you park in the parkade across the street from the restaurant, they will validate your parking. This helps tremendously with parking rates as high as they are.
