He also suggested that we don't do 25% sugar on our Vegan Brown Sugar Black Tea as it would taste a bit bitter. And he was right, with 50% of the normal sugar, the tea was perfect.

Definitely coming back.

It's too bad that it doesn't have any seating but with the zoning laws in this city I am not surprised.

I recently discovered Chao Bistro while enjoying some fresh rolls at Guelph's Multicultural…read moreFestival and was told to check out their restaurant on Elmira Road! Their place was a little hard to locate, considering it was all the way deep into a parking lot plaza and surrounded by company stores, but you know what they say, sometimes you can find a diamond in the rough. Here's my overall rundown: Food: I got the Pho (beef noodle soup) which came with rare beef, beef flank, and beef balls! This was prepared extremely fast and came with a side of bean sprouts, basil, and lime. The broth was rich and probably one of the best pho I've had in Guelph, besides my mom's cooking of course. Normally I add a lot of hoisin sauce into my broth, to add more flavour, but I didn't need it with this pho and only added sriracha. My mom ordered Hue style beef and pork noodle soup which was like a spicy pho broth. The flavours were there but not as flavourful as the pho! The server did however give us some fish paste in case we wanted to make it a little saltier to our liking! To top it all off, we were advised to get their milk tea which comes with homemade tapioca pearls for an additional 50 cents. We opted for the milk black tea but with less sugar because we're not fans of overly sweet drinks. The drink itself tasted great except it was a tad too sweet despite the sugar reduction. I couldn't imagine something being more sweet if it was normal sweetness! The tapioca pearls were interesting as it was an oblong shape rather than the typical spherical shapes you see in chain store pearls. Regardless, it tasted alright and definitely better than Chatime (a popular bubble tea chain) pearls, but not the best I've had! Atmosphere: It has this home-y family restaurant vibe and the servers make you feel at peace as they're pretty knowledgeable with their food and since they just opened, are receptive to your feedback for the food. There's about 10-15 tables and seating in the main serving area, as well as a separate open green room for additional sitting. Perfect for lunch or dinner with the family or friends. Service: Food came out very fast and the servers were attentive to your needs. They took the time to talk with customers and ask for your opinion about the food since they're new. Their location isn't the most optimal, which may affect business, and it's always hard to run a business if you're new. When we finished, the chef asked us to spread the word about their restaurant and you can see just how passionate the chef was for cooking. Made us wanting to come back for more to support them! Price: We paid $9.95 for the pho + an additional $2 for an upgrade to a large size. The Hue style soup was $10.95 and came in only one size. The milk tea turned out to be $4.50 for the large and $0.50 for the tapioca pearl toppings. It was pretty filling for everything and I'd recommend not upsizing the pho because this was A LOT for lunch! Verdict: Honestly, the food here was better than most Vietnamese places in Guelph as there's not much of a selection in the city. It's a shame that the location isn't ideal and lies deep within a parking lot plaza but I hope to come back here and see this business grow as there's lots of potential! Giving this a 4 star rating because there is definitely some work that needs to be done with their milk tea and pearls and their Hue style soup. I can also see their service getting a little impeded the more customers there were, but the individual moments we had with the servers more than makes up for that. Definitely come and support this business if you can!

Just ok! I felt I…read morehad to say something about this place. It's a small place not too many tables. They only had 1 table of 6 and a table of 2 while we were there. No service at all!!! I mean zero!! After 20 minutes I took it upon myself to go get menus from another table. I waited again and I went to the counter to place the order (no it's not one of those places you order yourself and then sit down) I then went to the counter and asked for takeout containers. The only service we had was the food being delivered to our table, and if I knew when the food was going to be ready I would grabbed it myself. They were busy with takeout and food delivery (Uber eats etc) and couldn't care about the customers sitting down. Really disappointing! The chicken pad thai was just ok, I would say that it wasn't pad Thai, I could swear that there was ketchup in the sauce, not even a taste of tamarind. I will not be going back! Unfortunately I would not recommend this place. Service is everything now, there are too many restaurants to choose from.
