After hearing some good things about this place, I thought I’d give it a try. We started off with some shrimp salad rolls as well as a tofu salad roll ($2.10 each). The rolls were pretty good: everything tasted very fresh, and the portions were quite generous. The sauce was also nicely done.For a main course I tried the Charbroiled Lemongrass Beef Bn ($9.95, $2.25 to add two spring rolls) while my friend got the Fried Tofu and Veggie Spring Rolls Bn ($11.50). Our food arrived relatively quickly, and each were very generous portions with lots of fresh vegetables and meat/tofu. I have to say I was disappointed with both the spring rolls: the meat spring rolls were practically tubes of ground meat with few other ingredients, and ended up tasting a bit too intensely pork-y. The veggie spring rolls had a very unpleasant (and seemingly untraceable) bitter taste, causing my friend to leave most of them on her plate. The tofu, however, was delicious: it was perfectly fried and had a wonderfully creamy yet springy texture. My meat was pretty good, but not great. The quality of the fresh vegetables was a little spotty: a few too many lettuce leaves were past their prime.I should mention what a great selection of vegan and vegetarian options they have, and I was impressed by the fact that they even make sure to include imitation fish sauce with the vegetarian bn. The service was very friendly, and the restaurant’s interior is decently inviting for being in a strip mall. I don’t think I’d make a trip specifically to eat here, but it is a good option if you’re looking for a restaurant that both herbivores and carnivores can enjoy.
Hubs and I thought we would try this place out since because we usually like mom and pop places. This is no mom and pop place, its run by entrepreneurs. We ordered two pho soups and spring rolls. This is when the wait started and yes.. there is a wait no matter how un-busy they are. It took 30 mins for deep fried spring rolls to roll out, and they were over fried and hard. Taste of the spring rolls were below average and had no flavor. After another 15 mins pass and the noodle soup came out. I admit, the soup was delish. However, I dont know what they put in their soup, but I felt like my body was telling me to stop eating and it left me sluggish with cold sweats… also was super thirsty after. Not even half way finished the bowl of bun hue my body was telling me to stop. Hubs felt the same way with his sate. Maybe it was an off day, but we will not be returning.
Omg! The slowest service I have ever had! Food is good but man! Over 20 min wait for spring rolls. The table that came at the exact same time got Thierry whole table 25 min before us when we ordered before them. Not impressed
Our family loves vietnamese food so we drive far and wide to find the best. From Airdrie to downtown, this place is excellent and one of our favorite. Wish prices were lower but hey with slightly higher price you really get great tastes.
Since recently transitioning to becoming vegan I’ve struggled finding restaurants with a variety of delicious vegan dishes. A Taste of Saigon delivers every time with not only a great selection of vegan items but incredibly delectable too!! My favorites so far are the #6 Vegan Scallion Pancakes with coconut curry sauce and #103 Spicy Vegetable and Tofu Hot Pot. In case you’re not a full time herbivore: my carnivorous boyfriend enjoys dining here as well!
By far the best place to eat Pho in the city. If you haven’t tried their coconut chicken curry soup then you seriously haven’t lived. I have to stop myself from buying it ALL the time. Because I seriously could live off it
Awesome Pho!! I always get the spicy beef noodle soup, and am never disappointed. The broth is super flavourful and doesn’t taste watered down like some other restaurants I have been to.Service is good, but sometimes takes a while for someone to come to the front counter if ordering or picking up takeout. Great banh mi as well; they have a unique way of saucing the meat inside the subs.The peanut sauce for the salad rolls always tastes a bit off though- kind of has an odd flavour unlike many peanut sauces I have had.Overall, however, good prices, good food and good service.
