  We had driven by here a few times and finally decided to try it out. The atmosphere was cute, quiet and nice and clean. Our server was so lovely and the food came fast and hot. We were pleasantly surprised! We had the Pad Thai, Coconut Fried Rice, Green Onion Cakes (yuuum) and Ginger Chicken. For fast, inexpensive Vietnamese food- we were very happy and very full. Would definitely go back

  I finally decided to try the pho challenge and man it was tough. Located right off Whyte Ave, it is the pho place to go to in the area (they stay open very late). The food and drink are very good and their service is quick and friendly. I will definitely come back and try their other dishes (besides the giant pho, haha).

  Miss Saigon is the newest Vietnamese restaurant to open in the city. Its located less than 5 minutes from Whyte Ave. What makes this restaurant stand out from other Vietnamese restaurants would be the clear millennial influence and late night hours. On weekends, they are open till 4 AM. Perfect for the late night owls and partiers, considering their location as well! On weekdays, they are open till 12 AM. Their menu has a variety of traditional Vietnamese dishes (pho, vermicelli bowl, and rice dishes) as well as some Thai influenced dishes and Vietnamese fried rice dishes I havent seen elsewhere.Their menus were styled like a magazine with the history of pho and Vietnam travel tips in the front, followed by the actual food menu.These bubble tea lightbulbs were probably one of my favorite part about this food adventure! Theyre so cute and they light up at the bottom as well. Perfect IG opportunity hehe. All of their bubble tea are served in these lightbulbs. For bubble tea, theres milk tea ($5.50), fresh fruit ($6.50), and slush ($5.50). I tried the matcha green tea slush and really enjoyed it. Although it was powder based, the taste of matcha was strong yet creamy at the same time. The restaurant actually gave us an avocado fresh fruit smoothie on the house so my friend was able to have a cute lightbulb drink as well!Alright, now for the main review the phoritto! Ive seen this item on social media before but never thought Id have the chance to try it in Edmonton. For $12, the phoritto is a decently filling size and is accompanied by a small bowl of meatball soup. The phoritto is stuffed with pho noodles, rare beef, bean sprouts, onions, and cilantro then wrapped in a tortilla wrap. Theres hoisin sauce and sriracha sauce drizzled on the phoritto already. If you cant handle spice, like me, I suggest asking them for no sriracha sauce when you order! As I was eating it, I noticed that there was a bit more sauce throughout the phoritto. It did seem a bit dry towards each end, though. Id say the meat got a bit dry and the tortilla got a bit boring to eat (if that makes sense??). I tried dipping the phoritto into the soup broth to solve the dryness but it didnt really work. My friend figured out another solution after we ate there, which is to take a bite of the phoritto then slurp up some soup broth with it. The phoritto held up pretty well as I ate it and didnt fall apart. It was certainly a different way to eat pho but I enjoyed it! For the soup, I thought it tasted fine but my friend tried it and said it tasted very salty (different taste buds, I guess?). The meatballs in the soup were very soft and tender, though.My friend ordered their special beef noodle soup, which comes with slices of rare beef (or steak), brisket, and beef meatballs. There was a good amount of meat in it but the pho noodles were a bit clumpy. It was also lacking the variety of meats that youd find in Pho Dac Biet at other Vietnamese restaurants such as flank and tendon. He ordered the regular size and said it filled him up. The other sizes offered for pho are large and xlarge. They also offer a What the Pho Challenge for those who want to challenge their eating abilities, and a $60 pho bowl for sharing amongst friends and family.So verdict is: come and try the phoritto and order a cute lightbulb drink as well! Or have some pho when youre not sober on a Saturday night at 3 AM. I can see this place being busy on weekends since theres no other pho restaurant in the city opened past 9 PM Im pretty sure! Best of luck to Miss Saigon! mshangryfoodie.com

  Miss Saigon is the newest addition to Vietnamese restaurants in Edmonton. Im not usually excited about new Vietnamese places opening up but Miss Saigon is doing its best to shake up the same old same old in YEG. They have a Pho challenge (2lbs meat, 2lbs noodles and 4L of broth) and they even have a Phorrito! The restaurant is tucked away just off Whyte ave by United Cycle. The place is very open and I am a big fan of the decor. Lots of homage to Vietnam with small bits of history hidden away in the menus. They have an open kitchen and the staff are super polite and friendly. Their menu is well versed with some Chinese and other southern Asian dishes thrown in. But I usually always get the standard. Theyre Salad Rolls are really good! They add in pickle veg inside instead of the same old boring lettuce. And you get 4 of them for only $8! Now thats a steal! Theyre not playing around when it comes to their portion sizes for Pho. Theyre regular is comparable as a large. And their large and extra large is probably double that (can you imagine their Pho challenge?). I got just a large Special Beef Noodle Soup. Pretty much Pho Dac Biet. Theyre broth is super clean tasting, just like Viet mom would make. I can tell they dont use MSG. Which isnt a bad thing but to be honest, I kind of like my MSG. My girlfriend got their Bun Bo Hue. Not bad, no MSG again and not spicy enough. Overall I wasnt blown away but I really like the direction Miss Saigon is going. Clean and simple Vietnamese food but brought up a bit to differentiate themselves from the same old Vietnamese restaurant formula we all know. Ill definitely be back to try the Phorrito and maybe the Pho challenge…

  WOW!I have eaten a lot of Pho from various places in Edmonton!There are many that make good to excellent Pho.However, not all give excellent value, meaning what You get for Your money.This place, makes Awesome Pho, and various other great food items.Also, their service is amazing The hours are great too, as many places like this are only open to around 9pm, but this place is open to midnight during the week, and 4am on Friday and Saturday!!!!I highly recommend Miss Saigon
