THE place in south for vermicelli. A quaint (read small) place in a strip mall so we do take out. Our go to - cashew chicken wok which has a bit of kick or a five colour bowl (4 protein plus 2 spring rolls). Cooked to perfection every time and our only disappointment has been when we have a craving and find them closed for vacation.
This is a nice little café in southeast Edmonton. I found it to be clean and friendly. I ordered the Pho 3 Bo. It had lots of beef. The soup wasn't very spicy but she brought out hot sauce so I could add as much as I desired. My guest ordered Pho Ga which is like a pho soup but made with chicken. We arrived before noon so there was no waiting. At noon there was a line-up at the order counter so the locals must really like this café. I noticed some other plates being brought out that looked especially good so I plan to return before long. I think that they deserve a 4 out of 5.
First impression is this place is overrated.
Very tiny restaurant. The process of ordering your food is somewhat similar to MacDonald's or Burger King. Order, pay, then sit down and wait. The small tables were not a problem at all. Kind of a fast food atmosphere.
My food review is based on the Sate soup only.
We had the Sate soup, as I mentioned, one chicken and one beef. Extra spicy.
The soups came to the table and the first impression was the bowls were not very big. Second impression was the soup was well below the brim. (See attached picture.) Hate that.
The quantity of beef and chicken were small, but the broth was very good. Very flavourful and in my opinion could compete with middle best Vietnamese restaurants, but not the top (I repeat....in my opinion).
The quantity is not for big eaters. My wife ate all of hers with ease, which she never does. Myself? I could have eaten two of them.
I give them a 4 for the classic Sate taste, but a 2.5 for value.
Been meaning to try this place since we moved to the area. Finally made it and was not disappointed. Staff is very friendly and food is amazing. Came in and it was empty by the time we left there were no tables left. Food came quick, hot food hot and cold food cold. Everything was great and I couldn't finish my Pho, it was so filling. Adding mango to the salad rolls took them to a whole new level. If we had room we would have tried one of their unique desserts. Will have to go back in the near future.
5 meat combo. Need I say more. This place is great....wide selection of food choices, pad Thai is also a great choice. They also do large party trays for big gatherings. When in the area it's always a place to go for authentic v-not food. They even have the bun mi - aka delicious Vietnamese subs.
Walking to Mini Mango on a weekday lunch rush, I was greeted with a friendly smile and tons of people waiting for their order. The place looks extremely modern and new on the inside - always a good sign when you first enter it. I ended up settling for a safe item - their pad thai. It's obvious when ordering that this place tries to take you beyond a typical restaurant experience by asking questions such as do you have any allergies or want any substitutions, etc. I also noticed frequent customers talk to the staff and say hi. All great signs of good customer service!
The Pad Thai came out within 10 minutes or so. The portion size was huge. I was starving for lunch and barely finished the dish. The dish was NOT well mixed though. Not a big deal, just a note for people wondering why there's all the meat in one side, followed by the bean sprouts and the egg, and then the noodle. It definitely wasn't the best pad thai I've ever had, but it's a significant upgrade over fast food pad thai and left a satisfying but not too greasy feeling at the end of the meal.
The place had some sit down seats, however most people got their food for take out. This place looks really popular and with the service given combined with the quality and quantity of food, I'll definitely be back to this place. All in all, recommended.
Lots of take out going in here tonight. Store front is clean and busy too. Menu is full of choice. Pick your protein, noodle, rice, and method of cooking. Ordered a five color bowl. Five proteins, noodles, veg, two spring rolls and sauce. Cooked perfectly and arrived fast. Flavors are crisp and fresh. Portion is a good size and a great value at less than $15.
Great food! The the coconut chicken satay sandwich I had was flavourful and satisfying not to mention the great avocado smoothie I had to go with it. Plan on visiting plenty of times more.
Love this place. Very clean. Quick service and delicious vermicelli bowls. They are very nice people and the food is always piping hot and fresh.
We got take out from Mini Mango last night. We were quite happy with our meal. It was as good if not better then the higher rated Thai restaurants in Edmonton we have tried. We had the Pad Thai, Coconut lemon grass with chicken, Cashew with beef, Coconut rice and salad rolls. Highly recommend the coconut lemongrass dish. It was delicious. Everything was hot, fresh and flavorful. Portion sizes and prices were also decent. If I had to pick on anything the coconut rice was a little blander and dryer then others I have tried. Definitely would try them again when we come back to Edmonton.
Nice and cozy place for having Pho. They also have a varieties of menu including spring roll, vermicelli, banh mi, pad Thai, sate soup, etc. The decoration inside is modern and nice to be a place for hanging out with friends. Recommend in Summerside
Got take away here last night for the first time, a friend recommended we try.
We got a few different dishes and all of them were delicious!! My kids really enjoyed the spring rolls and chicken fried rice. I got pad Thai and it was so so good. I also ordered a side of salad rolls with shrimp and had them for lunch today, the satay sauce is the best I’ve tried in years. Portions were large and the staff were very polite. Definitely will be back again soon !
We just discovered this gem and tried it for the first time tonight. The place was very busy with take-out orders and as we weren't familiar with how to order (so didn't order ahead) we waited in the restaurant for ours to be ready. As busy as it was, it was a fairly short wait! I have to say that their spring rolls are amazingly delicious (some of the best we've had) and their portions sizes are awesome (I couldn't finish my Pad Thai)! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back for more!
10/10 recommend this place
I had tried vermicelli 2 color bowl with spring rolls and grilled pork . It’s Taste really good , and the place also have Vegans food options and so many more good food to try.
Absolutely delicious Mango Salad! Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Many gluten-free options. Many options available for ordering, eat in, take out and order ahead. Thanks for another delicious lunch!! Ordered ahead for dinner takeout. Great attention to detail on orders. 👍👌
Consistently delicious food with great service. We’ve been ordering take out here for years and never been disappointed. Prices have gone up since Covid but that’s everybody. Make sure to order extra rice to go with the saucy curry dishes. Mmm…. So good!!
This is one of our go-to's for staff meeting lunches, we order from here a few times a year. It never disappoints! The Pad Thai and Mango Salad are always delicious and great to share with a group. We have vegetarians and staff with gluten and dairy allergies, so it is great to find a place that can accommodate for that.
