Best food in all of Yellowknife. Friendly and kind staff. This is my favourite restaurant to eat at. And they have a wide variety of options.

Passing through Yellowknife and I was craving for some pho as it has been a while since I had any. Happen to find this spot through a Reddit recommendation and the food was good but what was even better was how fast it came. This was literally fast food pho! Ordered fresh rolls and their house special as I always try to taste every pho restaurants house special.
The pho was unique in a way as it was much sweeter than usual pho. It also did not come with a side of bean sprouts, mint and chilli that would typically be with pho, but that's okay. I enjoyed the cuts of beef and it even had broccoli in it.
The fresh rolls had shrimp and chicken which was unique as well. Typically I've had it with shrimp and pork but not chicken. I enjoyed it. Well made but the peanut sauce was way too runny. It could thicker as dipping into it was like dipping into soup.
Staff was nice, not sure if it's a family run restaurant but it's that kind of vibe which is nice.
Overall my first time here was nice and the recommendation lived up to it. Will pass by again if I happen to pass through Yellowknife.

The food is awesome. The price is very reasonable, actually is really worthy compare to the states. The service was good, but it seems they need few more servers. I will visit this evening again before we go back to states.

Yummy Vietnamese food!
Got the pho with all the fixins. Was perfect.
Visited there due to a good review. The taste of soup was average but the texture of the noodles was not like it was just boiled. The service was not good at all. I would not recommend this place.

3/25/2026: Unless you are a big fan of steak / fish & chip / sushi, this place is worth to visit and even re-visit if you are staying in YK more than four days.
The food is decent and not too pricey given the limited resources they could be facing in YK.
Hence, a bowl of tasty hot noodles soup would have made your YK trip a lot enjoyable!
P.S. I think they are one of the local’s favorite restaurant because I visited at 3.45pm, and I was impressed by so many takeout orders they had prepared during my meal.

I went there because I heard it’s been around for over 10 years! Just a heads-up—they’re closed on Sundays.
I tried the spicy #17 and #27. The “spicy” flavor comes more from spices than actual heat, so it wasn’t really spicy for me, but it was seriously delicious!
I usually don’t like pho from other places, but this one was amazing. It’s especially impressive to find such good Asian food in a place where Asian ingredients are hard to come by.
The owner is very kind, and the food comes out incredibly fast right after you order!

I've lived here for a while but never try new things until early this year, I tried Taste of Saigon. I was hooked. I don't order often but at least once a month. I've only dined in twice but mostly take out. Whenever I call, they know my name. They know I order the same thing every time. Absolutely delicious and has become my comfort meal. Service and food 10/10.
