I was in a two days trip in this area last month , and decided to drop to this restaurant .
its a real taste of Vietnam , great food !!!
I will not hesitate to recommend to anyone in the area !
Not bad for somewhere to hit up before the dinner rush. Nice and clean. Good place to have conversation. The food is comparable to other places. I wouod have liked my food a little more hot than the luke warm but flavour wise i wasnt disappointed or blown away by it. Better than other places ive been to. Comfy seats.
Basic, relatively fresh, high value. I think Spicy Garden is one of the best choices available if you're looking for some comforting Canadian-Chinese, except everything here is a lot fresher than the sketchy bar slash chinese restaraunt of my youth's hometown.
I can't help but be drawn to their combination meals which are great value for the amount and even quality of food you get. The dry ribs have a fantastic breading, the deep fried tail-less shrimp are a guilty pleasure, and even the Chow Mein is good on account of being loaded with fresh vegetables and noodles. A year or two ago, Spicy Garden's venue was little more than a hole in the wall along 8th street, beside the old Safeway. This made me avoid eating there because it was cramped and they only had like 6 tables, so I could never really count on actually being able to get a seat. They've since moved further down the street and now have a pretty nice-looking restaurant with a good amount of tables and booths. The food we ordered came out extremely hot and fresh, even better than the takeout! It might not be the most exciting or trendy menu, but it does what it does extremely well.
I've been here over a dozen times in the past year and always had a great experience. Sometimes the service seems a bit slower than other restaurants but it was never a problem for us. Overall the staff are friendly and polite, and the food is fresh. They have several really good dishes but I gave a 4.5 for their garlic chicken wings, wonton soup, and dumplings. Possibly the best of their kind in Saskatoon. The scrambled eggs and shrimp are also perfectly cooked and tasty.
Originally went to the restaurant several years ago at the old location and gave it a 2.5. I tried it again last night and had a much better experience. The new locale is nice. We started with the charbroiled pork fresh rolls (superb) and an egg roll. I had the coconut curry soup with seafood, which was delicious. My partner had the coconut curry beef, which he enjoyed, but still prefers Red Pepper for the dish. We finished with a green tea bubble tea, refreshing and delightful end to the meal.
We ordered take out. The restaurant looked very clean and there was a lot of people eating in. The staff are very friendly and our order was ready by the time I got there. Overall, the food was good value and very tasty. We ordered pork spring rolls, deluxe wonton soup, ginger beef, and pad thai. The spring rolls are some of the best I have tasted in Saskatoon and they are very tender. Ginger beef was not crispy/chewy like other restaurants but very meaty and a great taste. Pad thai was good, lots of chicken and shrimp, but not to saucy. I would definitely come here again. My only suggestion would be to make an easier to read online menu. I had a hard time reading the grey on grey colour on my smart phone. I asked for a take out menu for next time however was directed to the online menu. If this could be changed to make future ordering easier, I will give a 5 star rating next time.
The old location was "cozy," the new location is larger and modern. We always enjoy the noodle bowls here. The Wonton soup is also consistently good. Prices are very reasonable.
Very friendly service, nice atmosphere, awesome vermicelli noodle bowl and the spring rolls are to die for! Will definitely return, very tasty!
Great wonton soup!!! Service is a little on the slow side but they were fairly busy over supper. Birds nest was tasty aswell! Over all good experience!
TL;DR- Great spring rolls, closes way too early
Spicy Garden is my go-to take out restaurant. The food is consistent with generous portions for the price. My usual dish is their spring roll bun (noodle bowl). Spicy Garden easily has the best Vietnamese spring rolls on this side of the river. The fiance usually has their Singapore noodles which are just the right level of spice for him. The pepper beef is also delicious if you can handle a bit of heat.
The restaurant has recently moved locations and I would be thrilled if the move includes extended business hours. Closed at 8pm is too early even for a week night.
