I stumbled upon D & P Vietnamese restaurant during my stay in Regina, Saskatchewan. I hadn't seen a…read morebusiness page beforehand on yelp, so I did not know this place had Pho and seriously close to my hotel (Chateau Regina hotel and suites).
That being said, D & P Vietnamese restaurant is truly a hole in the wall restaurant that you probably didn't know unless you were looking. They also serve other cuisines other than Vietnamese, namely Thai and Chinese. I guess a lot of them are Renaissance cooks, knowing a lot of popular dishes and knowing how to cook them well. I was nice to be here and checking things out. I would think that it's a mom and pop type of operation, but I could be wrong. The atmosphere was casual and quiet. I guess on a Sunday evening, it's like that. I ordered takeout this time around here and the entire overall experience was pretty good, positive, and it was friendly for the most part. Can't believe there wasn't a yelp business page prior to my arrival. Oh well.
D & P Vietnamese restaurant is located pretty much next to the McDonald's and the Chateau Regina hotel and suites in Regina Saskatchewan, along Victoria Avenue. They share the building with 3 other businesses. They be Accepting credit cards, so that's always a plus. I got here for a quiet Sunday evening dinner and the restaurant was empty, save for a table with a family of four who ate near the entrance. The prices here were in line with how other restaurants are, but it's nice when the exchange conversion benefitted me since I was using USD instead of Canadian dollar. The menu was two sided, but I didn't realize that until after I walked away with my order and noticed the noodles section and could have ordered the pad Thai. Oh well. It is what it is.
I ended up ordering the special seafood stir fry, which came with white rice for around $15 CAD, along with some shrimp rolls to seal the deal. The service container was decent enough to where it was justified the $15 price tag. It had a few shrimps in there, but needed to be shelled. The entree was decently good and constructed. Along with the white rice, it can be pricey regardless. Still, stir fry and white rice made it remind me of home and how it was nice just to have some sort of reminder of that. I grew up on Chinese food so it was a good mix, I think. Wished I had known about the backside page, so I could have ordered noodles instead of the special seafood stir fry. Oh well. The wait time for the order was a good 10 minutes, since it wasn't busy at the time.
