The food was fine, nothing special. I had a sub and my friend had a noodle bowl. I used the bathroom before leaving and was surprised by how dingy and dirty it was. If I’d seen the bathroom first I would have not eaten there.

Amazing food! Beautiful presentation and the taste is over the top. Had the lemongrass vermicelli rice bowl. The amount of meat you get puts all other Viet places to shame and this is from someone who lives in Vancouver. Well worth the visit!

I recently dined at Faifo Concept in Saskatoon and was extremely disappointed. Not only was the staff rude and dismissive, treating us as if we were asking for a free lunch, but there also seemed to be an underlying racial bias against people of color. Their dismissive attitude made it clear they weren’t interested in serving us.
Overall, the service was appalling, and I left feeling unwelcome and disrespected. I won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a respectful dining experience.

The guy with the glasses at front has no concept of taking to people. He is loud, aggressive, and abusive language. There is more to a restaurant than tasty food. You need good customer service. Everyone should avoid these types of restaurants.

Excellent service and food in a bright atmosphere.

I have been inside FaiFo exactly once and it was one of the nicest dining experiences I have ever had with the kindest service. Then, over a year later my wife was craving pineapple rice and FaiFo came up so we ordered dinner. Literally one of the most delicious meals I have had in ages! And then today, again - we were in the mood for Banh Mi and bam! FaiFo delivers the most delicious sandwiches and iced coffees I’ve had the honour of consuming. Thank you so much, FaiFo! May you live forever!

This is genuinely my favourite restaurant. I have never had a bad, or even mid tier meal here. The same gentleman has served us everytime we've been here and he is always prompt and kind. Excellent service. Amazing food. I always look forward to coming here.

The guy with the glasses at the front behaving very rudely. As I entered in the restaurant no response and when we asked for seats, answered very rudely. Probably not going again at this place

Had a beef pho and 4 spring rolls. Was very good. Service was quick. And the place was clean and very bright 🌞. Will be back again. And again

I really enjoyed my dining experience at FaiFo. Very welcoming environment and great service. My fiance and I are very particular about Pho. We figured we would try a new spot, and I have to admit I was a little worried. We both had pho, and it was very good! The broth was definitely perfected, and the meats were tender. I also had the lychee black tea and it was so good!. Definitely recommend this restaurant 10/10.
I had the lemon grass chicken noodle bowl and my partner had the spicy satay beef noodle bowl. It was amazing! Very different from the other Vietnamese noodle bowls in Saskatoon. Both bowls were 20% off and I have enough food for a lunch tomorrow! The staff are friendly and nice. The restaurant is decorated beautifully. Definitely a very underrated place that deserves more love! 10/10 would recommend.

I had Thai fried rice. Might of been the freshest and tastiest I've ever had. The rose bud tea was excellent as well.

Was this the best Birds Nest I’ve had in Saskatoon? Potentially!
First time coming to FaiFo Concept and the food was EXCELLENT. We ordered:
- Fried Spring Rolls: the crisp on these spring rolls was perfect. The “stuffing” was flavorful. Should have ordered another order but we had lots of food coming.
- Ginger & Lemon Grass Tea: this was made fresh to order, our server chopping up the lemon grass and ginger fresh. At first I was thinking the tea was taking a while to come out, but when it was delivered to our table, I realized it was because it WAS freshly made with real ingredients, which made me appreciate this drink. The flavour was powerful and exactly what we needed on the cold night.
- Shrimp Birds Nest: My god - this dish. It was fantastic. What impressed me the most is the fresh vegetables used on this dish. There is no way that those vegetables were previously frozen, because you would have been able to tell that on the bell peppers used. But they were crunchy (the perfect cook in my opinion). The noodles had an amazing texture and the sauce was fantastic. 11/10.
- Spicy Beef Noodle Soup: Although the broth itself wasn’t spicy (in our opinions) the waiter did supply extra chillies to allow for you to self-season it to your liking. But wow, this was great soup. We have enjoyed Pho in many places in Saskatoon, and this was great!
- Crispy Wontons: these were on special for $1.95 so we thought we would add them on. The texture was great and were a perfect snacker throughout the meal.
My only feedback for the team here is: 1) the restaurant wasn’t that busy and there were a few tables left uncleared/dirty. To enhance the feel of the environment, I would try to make sure that table cleanliness is kept up with, especially during slower times.
2) there was no background music playing. To heighten the ambience, I feel that having some light music playing would have been nice.
Overall. Great experience. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely love this place I’ve eaten here many times and have tried all of the vegetarian/vegan options including the fruit soup- all of them spectacular.
