  I came in for a weekday lunch. They were half full, perhaps. Menu was long and laminated, with pictures and English text. They don't have tendon for their pho, so I ordered mine with steak. The broth was somewhat lacking in flavor, and to add insult to injury, there was no basil, no fresh chilis, and the hot sauce was factory-made stuff.
  The lady who seemed to be doing all the work at the front of the house was lovely, but she can't carry the place by herself. I can't see myself returning.

  Not a big fan of this place. The place is not that busy and service is so so. So ordered the rare beef and well done beef pho. The soup doesn't have much flavor to it. It is definitely more expensive then their competitor and they are very skimpy on the beef.
  
  It is funny to watch the owner. I noticed how he told one customer (table beside us) "don't come back" because the credit card machine kept on not working and the owner had to go back and forth to go get a new machine. When we heard it we were shocked.
  
  The restaurant is somewhat run down. Quality and price doesn't match

  Proverbial "noodle place" in the downtown - with small, crowded, sticky tables, and shaky, worn chairs.
  
  Millions of plates to choose from - on the menu - all of which being essentially the same, if you'd actually try to compare a few.
  
  Food quality is very ordinary, though service was rather fast.
  
  Can't really recommend Ha Long Bay for anything, unless you are on that particular corner of the downtown and feel like some noodles for lunch.

  My coworkers like coming here - it's close by, efficient (esp when you're on a time constraint) and moderately priced for a downtown restaurant. If I choose a place for Viet food, Ha Long wouldn't be my first choice. I find the food quite westernized (esp the pho) and it's set up almost cafeteria style that you feel rushed when you eat here (could also be the hoard of people lined up at the door during peak lunch hours waiting to get in)
  
  If I do come here, my go to is the spring rolls & pork with vermicelli. Can't go wrong with spring rolls right?

  This place has the best beef sate sub I can find in Calgary. They add this peanut sauce that is amazing. It's so good that my coworkers I've told about it keep going back!!! It's best done through takeout.
  
  If you're not in the mood for a sub, the vermicelli and rice bowls come out really quick if you do takeout.
  
  Highly recommend!
