The Vietnamese Noodle House

I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant. It seems like they take advantage of tourists. From the moment we entered and placed our order, no one mentioned that there would be a 15% service fee. It was only when we went to pay the bill that they informed us it was the store’s policy. The waiter claimed that every restaurant in Yellowknife does this, but that’s simply not true. Our total came to $31.50, and with the service fee, it was $36.50. I paid $40 in cash and decided not to argue further—I didn’t want to let this ruin my good mood while visiting Yellowknife. Unfortunately, this was our last meal here. Apart from the comfort of a hot soup on a cold day, the food was bad. We were the first customers at this restaurant today, and aside from taking our order, no additional service was provided. I strongly question the justification for this unreasonable service fee. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Food was fresh and arrived quickly. The broth for the pho was excellent, proper slow-simmered bone broth, and generous portion of noodles, meat was sliced nice and thin. Does not come with beansprouts or mint which I’m assuming might be because those would be more expensive / less available up here, but still tasty. If you’re used to ordering Vietnamese carrot salad elsewhere and are hoping for this to be a veggie side, the salad might be a little disappointing- it had very few carrots and was mostly iceberg lettuce, but they did include a huge amount of shrimp to make up for it.

Awesome food at a reasonable and pocket friendly price. It's located at the heart of downtown and usually opened till 8pm in the evening. The food is delicious and they do follow the customization requested. The staff is friendly and approachable. I would definitely recommend this place for having Vietnamese food.
