Went here for dinner with a friend. We warmers walking to another place but it started to rain heavily and ended up here. It is has nice decor. We were there for hours and the place was just about empty the whole time. My food was good, not really outstanding but not bad. Their was a bit of a communication problem regarding my friends gluten free food requirements but it worked out in the end. My friend really enjoyed her soup and I thin I would get soup if I returned here. Our evening was very pleasant and I had no complaints.

This is a favourite place of my co-workers. At least 7 out of 10 times we opt to come here as a group for lunch to order takeout when we want food other than cafeteria food...it's usually very crowded for seating in the lunch hour at this restaurant. They used to have really long lines, but it seems to have lessened a lot now that other small fast food spots have popped up in the same block. That being said, I find parts of their menu have been evolving...they no longer carry desserts & macarons in their display case, but they do offer ramen now & Vietnamese sub sandwiches. I also like their ready made fresh to go papaya salad & rice rolls that they have to buy on the side display. Sometimes I buy it to bring home as a quick win for supper. When you order, you are given a vibrating pager which keeps the line efficient. I have only dined in once, but when you're pressed for time, it really cuts close in the lunch hour. It's bright, tidy & fairly noisy while dining in. Menu wise, I like the pho, but it's quite a production to put together when its takeout. I've been leaning towards their combos and I used to order rice as the starch in my combo, but it always takes so long; so now I go for the vermicelli which has been a win every time: takes 5 min or less & my pager gets lit! Service is super fast, very friendly & efficient. I also appreciate their add-on table, so you can squirt some chilli, soy, or hoisin sauces or add bean sprouts, mint sprigs, or lemons to your takeout dish plus pick your own disposable utensils or chopsticks & napkins before you head out the door. It's no wonder why we keep coming back...good service, hot fast food, really affordable & delicious too.

Well I've got to give this place credit, they definitely are stylish! With giant installation light forms that you can see from all up and down on 109th St while you're approaching Jasper Ave. The seating is also very futuristic chic. This quick and easy Vietnamese place sure has flair! Parking, now that's another story... The best I can suggest is in the Impark across the street, or maybe way over in the Save-On lot; not the most ideal for take-out. I had the coconut soup with broccoli and an order of onion cakes. Both were fantastic! I love that the onion cakes are the big doughnut shaped ones. I'm not sure how busy this place gets, The floor to ceiling windows usually reveal an empty restaurant. When I stopped in there was one other person and they were taking their meal to-go. With such a large space in pretty pricy realestate I hope they survive the long winter!

Bun bo hue with added bean sprouts, Thai basil, and spicy paste :)

I've been wanting to try this location ever since I found out they sell the grilled quails that they have at Taste of Edmonton that I just adore. Of course this time I was with co-workers so I was a bit embarrassed to gnaw on the quails (can't let anything go to waste!), so I'll have to come back another time for them... I will get to try you one day, quails! Although the line was a bit long (right to the door) around 12:15pm, it moved pretty quickly. There are macarons by the cash and a few grab and go items in a cooler right by the door, though it's unclear if you still have to wait in the line where everyone else is ordering if you want to pay for those. The menu is splashed across several screens spanning the back wall and it's a bit difficult to read one end if you are standing at the opposite end of the line. I ended up ordering the bun bo hue as I was craving some noodle soup. (Other menu options include a variety of salads, curries, build-your-own pho which is genius, and a build-your-own-bowl option.) I love that you get a little token that buzzes when your order is ready, so in the meantime we went to grab a seat and I checked out the beautiful modern decor. The high ceilings and ceiling-to-floor windows means lots of daylight, and there is just the coolest light fixtures. When my token buzzed, I excitedly ran over to grab my soup. There wasn't a lot of spicy oil floating on the top - fortunately the lady behind the counter scooped me out a bit more when I asked nicely (I think it was actually a shrimp paste chili sauce? In any case, delicious.). A bonus of this meant I also got a 'regular' Chinese-style soup spoon - so much easier to eat noodle soup out of. The noodles already had shredded cabbage on it but I went over to the self-serve station to add on some fresh bean sprouts and Thai basil (amidst other goodies hanging out there). I was pleasantly surprised by the bun bo hue. Piping hot, flavourful with the lemongrass scent, a decent ratio of noodles to tender beef shank chunks (some with fat, not just the perfect fat-less slices of beef catered to North American taste..) and Vietnamese cold cuts. It was a pretty decent-sized bowl too, comparable to a large bowl of pho at dedicated pho joints (or is it XL? I never understood why the small bowl was 'M' and the next size up a 'XL'..). I am docking a star because it is on the pricey side. I guess that's the cost of doing business downtown. However I'll probably likely come back again to try out other items. I wonder how their pho holds up to other traditional pho places...

Make your own bowl vermicelli, salad rolls and all the sauces. Mmm

This afternoon while walking along jasper, my companion and I decided we wanted Vietnamese and checked this place out. We were dressed in sports gear and thought it would be a great casual place for a bite! There's vegan options (although you have to be aggressive in asking about ingredients. Mainly because two people barely spoke English and I had to ask for a gentleman to come from the back and speak to me to translate. Update: the steamed buns (bao) with tofu have lard in the buns. Their spring rolls have egg wash. Not vegan!). Anyways I loved the make your own bowl concept, you pick your own sauces and I tried their peanut and chill sauces! I got both vermicelli and brown rice. So good. We also got salad rolls with tofu and my companion got a make your own bowl with chicken and beef. I'd love to try their mango salad and coconut soup if they can veganize it next time. It's cool how they have alcohol there if you drink, and tons of take out and fresh desserts there! I personally like Thai food a lot better (and like their peanut sauce more than Vietnamese peanut sauce too) but honestly this Vietnamese can compete with more familiar Vietnamese around the city! I'm not sure if I'll be back. 50/50

Pho
Chris C.

This place just opened up it's really huge and looks very clean. They do a bit of bakery stuff like macaroons and Asian food by weight. They seem to be setup for big crowds but it was pretty empty when I cam in at 1245pm. I tried the pho, and it was pretty good. Above average and a large bowl for $12.50. I think once this place gets know it will get pretty busy.

Super yummy!!!

The food here is so delicious! It's made super fresh and you can see it being made. Its well priced and a great place for lunch. They have made a new regular out of me and my co-workers! I ordered the vermicelli bowl both times, first time with beef and the original sauce. The sauce wasn't my favourite but it was still good. Second bowl was beef again with housing sauce... sooo freaking delicious!

Shio ramen
Jason L.

They introduced ramen! Excellent presentation and deep flavor. Value not as good as their other offerings but the ramen is a step above their pho and vermicelli.

This was what I was handed. 3/4 full for $5. Ice is even above the drink.

Songkran Thai Restaurant - Pad Thai Tom yum with mushrooms galore

I've been there a few times with family, and I can say for sure my expectations were far exceeded…read more The restauant is well decorated, clean, and spacious, with plenty of room to bring large parties. It's also generally quiet enough to have a nice conversation, if you're a talker like me. The service was quick and friendly, and they were very good at reccomending dishes! We found this particularly helpful for choosing what meat/protein to put in our meals, and we all agreed that they knew what was best. As for the food, it was the most absolutely wonderful and authentic Thai I have ever had. Every dish was flavourful, fairly priced, and came in a huge portion! We have never gotten a single bad thing there (and we experiment often), and we have never left without takeout containers full to the brim. The leftovers are always amazing, too. I could go on and on about how much I love this restaurant, truly. What a lovely place to dine in St Albert that I wish I had discovered so much sooner! If you're interested in what to try, my favourites are the Pad Thai with chicken, or the Pad See Eiw with chicken or tofu. I'm not a beef lover, but they make it quite well there I will say. The curries are quite good but some of them get fairly spicy, at least for me. The peanut curry is definitely my favourite! As for appetizers, they have these excellent deep-fried crab and cream cheese dumplings that I can never get enough of! Be aware though, there are lots of peanuts used in recipes, so be careful if you have an allergy.

Food is great but inconsistent with portions. Hole in the wall small location. Solid place if you…read morecan overlook minor issues. Tried this place twice about a month apart, the food is great but there's inconsistent portions and service can a bit slow as it's a mom & pop restaurant. Seating arrangements are ok but can definitely could use a deep clean/upgrade - old time hole in the wall look, feel & vibe. During our latest visit, the restaurant opened up a few minutes late as owners were running a bit late. Service was slower as there was only one person attending 6+ tables that came in about the same time. The food tasted great but again was inconsistent with portions & plating. We both ordered the same Pad Thai Tom yum at the same time & one plate completely was missing mushrooms & lacked bean sprouts while the other had an abundance. The rice curry dishes are good but could use a much bigger portion of rice.

Bangkok is a hidden AYCE hotpot off Kingsway. (Truly, if we didn't know to look for it, I'd never…read moreknow it was there. It's tucked away on a side road surrounded by residential streets!) But there it was, this bright green little gem. It's not as modern as other places, but the food was fresh and topped up on the buffet + even though not as big as others, there were still a few items I hadn't seen anywhere else. Their broth was good too - we tried the satay & tom yum and both were flavourful. They've been open under the same management for 11+ years! Covid has been tough - they closed completely when dine in was shut down and are just starting to rebuild business (I don't think they do take out but I'm not 100%). It was completely dead when we were there, minus one other table - and they still kept filling the food with fresh items. They kind of fall under the radar, maybe because they're not as flashy as other places? But they are yummy with super nice people - if you're considering hotpot, it's worth checking out! A few things to note: it's one of the cheaper AYCE hotpots in the city (I think it was $26 + $2 for broth - other places are $35-40). AYCE only. No late night or lunch special, the price is the price all day. Cash or debit only.

My favourite restaurant for hot pot! Definitely a gem in the city. I love the satay broth and all…read morethe many options of fish balls and an excellent variety of fresh meats and veggies. In the sauce department the xo and peanut butter sauce is amazing and the chopped chillies in a vinegar like sauce is soo delicious and brings such great flavour to anything that accompanies it. I absolutely love it here, it really has a nice welcoming environment and the manager is very nice as well. I always look forward to my next visit.
