Saigon Delights

The decor inside had a nostalgic vibe, and it seemed like the restaurant had been open for quite a long time, but it was still clean and tidy. Special Beef Noodle Soup is a Vietnamese beef noodle soup in beef broth with medium rare beef, well done beef and beef meatballs. The bowl contained onions and spring onions and was served with bean sprouts, Thai basil and fresh lemon on the side. We could not believe how clear the broth was, but it was filled with a rich, savory beef aroma that was not too heavy or overly salty. It must have taken a lot of effort and time to prepare. We also ordered Grilled Chicken Vermicelli Bowl. The grilled chicken was served on vermicelli with bean sprouts, shredded lettuce, cucumber and pickled carrots. A bottle of their special fish sauce was provided as well. Mixing everything together gave the dish a balanced taste.

This is supposed to be a lemongrass beef vermicelli bowl? No taste of lemongrass, sautéed veggies and very oily. Won’t be returning Won’t be recommending Woof.

Stopped in to Siagon Delights for lunch with my wife and we weren't greeted with a smile or a hello. A gentleman told us to chose where we wanted to sit and that was fine. He then brought us menus and walked away. He came back a few minutes after and asked if we were ready. Luckily we had an idea of what we were going to order beforehand thanks to Google. Our appetizer, Green Onion Cakes, came out fast and was fresh, delicious and hot! They definitely hit. Our dishes came out 5-10 minutes after and looked amazing. I ordered the Seafood & Mixed Vegetables Stir-fried Rice Noodle dish (#63). The portion size was more than fair and the taste was on point 👌🏾 All flavor notes were correct. Our server was not communicating with us at all and that ruined the experience. No eye contact, smiles, head nodding or anything and that's unfortunate because the food was great. Kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place on this spot. Not sure we would visit again but I'd definitely like to thank the chef for the quality 👏🏾

This place is one of those rare finds. They have the best lemongrass chicken I’ve ever had in my life. After Doan’s closed down in Edmonton, I went to nearly every Vietnamese restaurant I could trying to find something even remotely comparable. Nothing came close. I live on the far north side of Edmonton, and my family and I will happily make the hour-long drive to Saigon Delight just for the food — it’s that good. It’s not a fancy place, but the food speaks for itself. Hands down, the best Vietnamese restaurant in Alberta.

They have decent spring rolls that tastes the same as most other Vietnamese restaurants (basic, nothing special) however their meat was just okay, nothing to wow me in any way. The size of the platter was okay in the sense of the noodles but the amount of meat you receive is definitely nowhere near most other places that I've gone. The shrimp was probably the tastiest part of it, and it took my boyfriend a significant amount of bites in to realize that there was even cucumber and I don't believe the carrots were pickled at all. The price we paid for the meat we received definitely didn't equal out. It's difficult to return to a place like this when I can get a mountain of meat and a container twice the size for the same price at a different location and be blown away by the taste.
