Quick and friendly service, huge portions, authentic, and tasty!
Hands down the best Vietnamese place in town. The food is tasty and the ingredients are high-quality. The place is clean, cozy, and has nice music. Apparently they'll even be adding desserts to the menu soon.
The food is alright but it depends on what you order. Its probably one of the better places to get (Chinese) hot and sour soup. The pho has quite a bit of flavour but kind of heavy on the MSG. The vermicelli dishes are decent but the fish sauce needs a little more flavour to it. The deep fried wontons are filled with a thin slice of beef meatball...which is definitely the incorrect way of making wontons and not worth paying for.
Last Saturday night Jordon and I went to the Red Pepper in downtown Saskatoon. It was a quiet pre-Valentine’s Day supper and was a nice and quiet place to go. We ordered a sizzling seafood platter that featured mussels, lobster, and shrimp. We also split a beef and shrimp noodle bowl as well as a shrimp and coconut curry dish. The food was excellent and the service was fast. It wasn’t that busy but there was enough people in there that I was surprised at the speed. The food came out fresh and piping hot and was all on our plates within minutes.
The 'Jumbo Combo' is my favorite noodle bowl in the city, particularly if value is considered at all. You can walk to the mall and pay 50% more for 50% less. Anything with pork in it, whether it's the Jumbo Combo or the Pork Special, is delicious. The pork is seasoned in such a way that it has a very distinctive salty flavor, I now judge pork from any other Vietnamese restaurant by the standard set by Red Pepper in this regard. The Vietnamese rolls are a must try (luckily a Jumbo Combo comes with one), among the best in the city. The fish sauce is really sweet compared to other places, but a great treat in its own right, I really recommend just dumping it all over your food, particularly if you get Vermicelli, since it will give the Vermicelli a lot of much-needed flavor. Pedestrian stuff like the Ginger Beef sizzling platter is really good too, they prepare it with fresh vegetables and ginger - everything still has a crunch rather than being cooked into a limp soggy mess. I'm less familiar with the curries and Thai-side of their menu, but I haven't always heard positive things, so you may want to head down the street to Royal Thai for that and stick to the amply-sized Vietnamese-Canadian portion of the menu. The business is family run and genuine, all of the servers are very polite and competent and I don't have any complaints about the service. Like Thien's, the physical dimensions of the restaurant are lacking, the entrance area is really bad if you arrive at a busy time or are waiting for a pick-up order.
My top places for Asian food in the city. I've never left here disappointed. Always consistent. Plus you can't beat the prices the portion sizes are huge so for me it's basically two meals in one since I can never finish a full noodle bowl. Just thinking about it makes me hungry.
We have been here a few times over the years.
The restaurant can get quite busy. This can cause some confusion with the staff.
The spring rolls are quite good. Won't say they're my favourite in the city but still pretty good.
I can't remember what my spouse had but a noodle bowl of some sort. There were no complaints.
I had the satay beef with vegetables. It was a huge portion. Fair amount of beef and lots of veg. Lots of mushrooms too. Which is great for me as I love mushrooms. There was so much I had enough left overs for a full meal.
We will come back but we don't hit the downtown core very often so may be awhile.
My family comes here almost every time we visit Saskatoon! The food always tastes good and is made fresh. They staff were very friendly and attentive the last time we were here as well! Will be back.
I go here often and love the food. Try spring rolls!! Definitely one of the best Thai restaurant in saskatoon. I often go here during lunch time since they serve really fast.
The food was good but there was only one waiter working for dinner service. The waiter was super friendly and did the job of 2 waiters but that's certainly not enough.
Note** you can do half orders for appetizers instead of getting the full order
I love the daily bowls of yummy noodle or rice specials. Its consistently good with rather large portions. Parking is challenging as it's just street parking. I must comment on the music playing in the background. If you like the oldies like Dean Martin, Tom Jones or Michael Bublea your gonna love this place. It's a nice place and worth a visit.
All food are yummy, I really love it. The staffs are literally friendly and nice, love you all ☺️. I’m a Vietnamese people, I’ve tried many Vietnamese restaurants in Canada, but the food here is the best, such a real Vietnamese taste, especially, “Pho” special beef rice noodle soup, bird’s nest, spring rolls. I’m happy when the restaurant is pretty close to my workplace. Yay 🥰🥰 thank you for the food and your services.
Food is nice. They have nice spacious place to sit. The food was hygienic and served in good portions. Their one dish is good for at least two people. I ordered Sizzling ginger Pork and it was a bit sweet. But it was tasty and the quantity was a lot.
The staff is nice and friendly.
I would recommend this place for a nice hearty meal.
The best Vietnamese restaurant in the city. I always order from this place and the owner himself delivers the food most of the time. He’s been very nice and friendly to me. Great service, nice restaurant and awesome staff and management! Highly recommendable!
Visiting from out of town. Had the Sautee beef soup, sizzling crispy ginger beef and a pork sub. It was all incredibly delicious. Very happy with our lunch experience, the staff was very friendly too :)
Just stopped in for a pick up of shrimp fresh rolls with the peanut sauce!
They were delicious, I will definitely be back! Great customer service and restaurant looks great!
Thank you😋
