Thap Ba is such a great spot for Vietnamese food! The prices are very reasonable, especially for the portion sizes.
The beef salad rolls were super fresh and delicious — you can really taste the quality ingredients. The curry was flavorful and comforting, and the pork chop on rice was absolutely fantastic — juicy, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked.
The pho bowl was huge and very satisfying. Great value for the price!
Overall, a wonderful experience with tasty food and generous portions. Definitely coming back again!

Edit: after viewing the maggots on the food from someone who ate here few days after us, it's an image that we cannot get out of our heads. The video and image was posted on Facebook. We'll never be back here and the image and video was traumatizing to watch, I am still unable to want vietnamese salad rolls in general.
Initial review:
This restaurant definitely has that old asian restaurant vibe which is what I always want because the focus is more on food than in aesthetics. A lot of legit good restaurants in south east asia are outdated and this place gave me that vibe when we walked into it.
First, with food, majority of pho or soup places I've visited in Canada, you get that sodium after effect where you are so thirsty. We did not get that at all in this restaurant. People say it's bland, legit pho is supposed to be like that.
The portion of XL is very reasonably priced and good for 2 people.
For a family of 4, just getting what we want and 1 beer, our total bill was under $50 with 20% tip included. That's how generous this restaurant is. I would highly recommend their special salad roll and for the soups to be XL.

This was a decent pho place. We had spring rolls which were good and wings that were also decent. For our main means we had pho, bun Bo hue, Bon mi and a stir fry.
The atmosphere for typical for a pho place but I’m not too concerned about that just want good food.

I absolutely loved my meal at Thap Ba! This Vietnamese restaurant truly delivers on both taste and value. Every dish I've tried has been packed with flavor and incredibly fresh. What really sets it apart, though, are the super affordable prices – you get amazing quality without breaking the bank. If you're looking for great Vietnamese food that won't empty your wallet, Thap Ba is the place to go!

Went to Thap Ba Restaurant last night, 10/10. I’ve been going there for years, and honestly, it’s one of the few restaurants that’s consistently great with its food, service, and fair prices.
It was sad to see how one social media post can potentially destroy a small, local business. Mistakes happen, I’ve been to other restaurants where I’ve found salad bugs, hair, etc. If that same post were about a big corporate chain, it wouldn’t have had nearly the same impact, and that really showed last night.
I hope people give them a second chance and continue to support locally run businesses. We already have so many of the same restaurants, it’s nice to have variety in Red Deer.
In a world with so much anger and sadness, it would be nice to see a little more kindness and forgiveness too.
