My family and I have loved Thuy Tien for many years. Whenever I go back to visit my children and granddaughter in Medicine Hat, we always go to eat here. The pho is outstanding! I also love their charbroiled pork noodle bowls. Friendly staff and delicious food!

Thuy Tien is my #1 restaurant and dining experience in the WORLD since I was a baby. My family has been enjoying it for years and years and it never fails to provide great food and service, and I know there are plenty more families in the city who have the same relationship with this place as we do! It’s a calm and friendly atmosphere, perfect for a rainy afternoon or even just a last minute lunch with a friend! I have never in my life found salad rolls and peanut sauce (#2 on the menu) anywhere else that are nearly as good as they make them here, as well as the soup (especially #22) - it can never be recreated! The family that operates Thuy Tien has watched us grow up just as we have watched them serve the community all these years. My little sister once broke a glass spoon here probably 10 years ago and to do this day they always give her a plastic or metal spoon! I’m writing this review because I am in Saskatoon and have scoured the city for a place like this and haven’t found anything - and I am missing it so much. This is an absolutely must if you’re in the city of Medicine Hat!

We went here to try their food, this is located at 2nd st downtown Medicine Hat. Staff are friendly, ambience was ok, food was great, washroom was clean too. Just one thing though, they need to change their scratched up glass, just my opinion. Overall experience was great. A must try and recommended to all. Posted their menu, Check it out. #shoplocal

It's 4 stars, but I'm feeling nice. The menu is simplify to match the small city pallet. It's missing some ingredients you would get else in authentic Vietnamese restaurant. No tripe, tendon or basil leaves. The food tasted okay and the older gentleman was very nice. The prices for a restaurant quality food is fantastic! It's not a bad options if you're in the Hat looking for Vietnamese cuisine, but temper your expectations if you're from a big city.

I was a little worried about this place at first, because while I had heard good things, I can be a wimp when it comes to spicy food. I was told that the food could be made to be less spicy, so I decided to give the number 27 a try, which is one of the pictured noodle dishes. I was pleasantly surprised to find the noodle dish was perfectly spiced with just a hint of spice, but completely within my limits. The dish was amazing. The flavor exploded. The serving was amply sized for the price, leaving me stuffed by the end. It was a great meal. Great service. 10 stars.

Was told this place was good but our experience was NOT that. Prices are good yes. Veggie spring rolls were fine, veggie salad rolls had literally 1 piece of cabbage in each and one piece of tofu, no other veggies?? The #67 was un-eatable and we sent it back. I think they reheated the fried tofu by boiling it, no flavor at all, worse than the simplest Chinese fast food. Unfortunately we wont try again when there is 5* quality Thai and Korean food in town. They also refused to take it off the bill, and were extremely rude. Blown away

Great noodle + rice dishes and fantastic iced coffee. Good selection of bubble teas, too. The food is catered to white Albertans, yes, but its in a small city in southern Alberta so cut them some slack! Its still really good food. If youre in Medicine Hat, do yourself a favour and stop here!

By far the best Pho in town! (I get the beef balm pho with sate broth) I was in to pick up my soup today and I accidentally dropped the bag on my way out. Luckily I didn t make a mess! they offered to make me a new one and refused to let me pay again. It was absolutely my fault and I m grateful for their fast service in getting me a new one. 5/5 good and service!

I am writing this review from a take out meal I had in the summer. I have been to Vientam in the past so I have a good palate for reference. I had the vermicelli bowl with shrimp, pork and spring rolls. The portions of meat to noodle\vegetable was way off, there was barely any meat. Not only that, the shrimp was overcooked and the pork and spring rolls were sub par. I did not enjoy this meal at all and it was not worth the twenty dollars it cost. It pails in comparison to what IPHO used to offer. I wish they were still around.

This is by far my favourite restaurant in Medicine Hat. A small but reputable family owned gem with flawless food and service. Their spring rolls are the best Ive ever had in my life, service is always fast and familiar, and you never wait over 20 minutes to receive food. On top of that, they have some of the BEST prices for dining out in the entire city. I can go and fill myself up with fresh and delicious food for literally $11. If you re thinking about eating here, just do it.

This is one of the worst Pho places I have ever visited. Ordered DOUBLE BEEF Rice noodle soup. Have never seen such a small double portion of beef in my life. The Pho it self comes from cheep caned premaid liquid. Horrible. Stay away!! Dont waste your money.

December 22, 2022

Stopped by this place with my friend this afternoon for lunch and ordered the #20 Special Rice Noodles Soup which impressed me with its promise of shrimp, crab meat, pork, deep fried wontons and mixed veggies. What I received included 2 wontons, 1 small piece of crab meat, and a few very thin slices (like 1/16 thick) of some meat, apparently pork. This is outright ridiculous and a shame on the part of the owner to be serving such mediocrity. Speaking of the owner - he is not a nice guy at all and didnt even try. Any questions we would ask about a menu item were met with an annoyed look as if he didnt want to hear anything other than the menu item of choice, and would answer them rather rudely. When my friend complained about an extremely low meat content (after all, he ordered double meat), the owner gave him a very dirty look and started, I believe, to complain to his employee nearby in his own language. Try a different Vietnamese restaurant because it cannot get any worse than this.

A hidden gem restaurant in downtown Medicine Hat. Satisfying authentic Vietnamese food, made and served by a charmingly friendly family. I have been eating at Thuy Tien since they first opened and has exchanged hands over the years, yet the food has always been good. The chef makes the best spring rolls Ive ever tasted. If you get nothing else from here try the spring rolls. One of the best restraunts in the city. Refreshing Bubble Teas and a variety of delicious dishes that I have trouble choosing just one :) The bathroom is always very clean, and the marble decor is very nice. One suggestion would be is to get more exposure by getting on the Internet to advertise or get connected with Skip the Dishes or another delivery service to make it easier for the consumer to access your wonderful food. Please stay open forever! I Love Thuy Tien Restaurant!

Worst Vietnamese food I have ever tried. Maybe they couldnt find fresh ingredients this week, or their regular chef was away? Tasted closer to cheap Chinese food than what I am used to for Vietnamese. Tried four dishes: two appetizers were ok, noodle and rice dishes were disappointing. Didnt try the soup. Restaurant was clean and in a good location. Staff were polite but not particularly friendly.

As with every Vietnamese restaurant, I ordered my standard dish to measure it against others: rare beef noodle soup (#10 on their current menu). Much to my surprise, it was actually delicious. The cut of beef was just right, so when submerged in the hot soup, it remained soft. The noodles themselves were alright. The soup is where they lost some points as it did not have the full rich flavour I am accustomed to. Moreover, they had run out of bean sprouts and basil, which is a standard part of the rare beef noodle experience. Overall, still good food at an affordable price. The place is also clean, service is standard for a Viet noodle house.
