The beef satay noodle bowl was amazing. So flavourful and the portions are big as well! Staff is very friendly and the service was fast. Will definitely be coming back here again.

Cheerful and knowledgable service; clean, bright restaurant and delicious food. I tried betel leaves for the first time and was impressed with this savory delight! Also the fresh squeezed lime soda was a hit!
Will return to try the soup next time!

Modern yet warm feel in the dining room. It felt like this place was pretty new. The menu was simple, not overwhelming like it can get at some places. Just two pages with plenty of good Vietnamese options.
The staff were so sweet and fast. The food was really good – the pork chop was tender and the betel leaf-wrapped beef was so full of flavour.
This is a cool little neighbourhood restaurant. Definitely worth checking it out!

Unethical business practices in my opinion. I normally just let it go when I have negative experiences, but I just want to warn others to be careful when you order. I wanted number 21 and asked if it came with one or two rolls. From what I understood, she told me that the dish would come with two rolls for the price of $15.49. However, the lady taking my order misunderstood(?) me and did not tell me that it was 21A I was paying for with 2 rolls for $17.99 which is much pricier for what it came with. Aside from the misunderstanding, the beef was very heavily salted and the dish itself just was not worth it for $17.99.
Additionally, my friend wanted the shrimp vermicelli bowl with veggie spring rolls and they charged us extra to SUBSTITUTE the pork spring rolls for veggie and didn’t even tell me that there was a surcharge.
These two instances together left a very bad taste in my mouth and I would warn others to be careful when ordering because I was not made aware of many of the extra charges. Also, there are many better Vietnamese places in the city for more reasonable prices.

I thought the food was good but the music was bit loud. I liked the appetizer and soup.

We went to visit the Essence of Saigon’s newly renovated space and it’s beautiful! We tried a few of their dishes and they are full of authentic Vietnamese flavors! Our favorites would have to be the satay chicken pho, chicken skewers, beef sub and freshly squeezed lime drink! It’s a definite spot you want to check out next time you’re in the NW. We can’t wait to be back again soon!

I don’t understand how this restaurant gets a 4.4 rating. It was only because of this score that our family decided to try it, but the service and food was disappointing. When the three of us went in, we noticed that there weren’t many customers, but neither of the two waitresses greeted us and we didn’t know where to sit. By the time we finished looking at the menu and were ready to order, the two waitresses ran off to order for two more customers who arrived later than us, until I pushed one more time and one of the waitresses came to take our order with a cold look on her face.
The portion of Vietnamese rice noodles was generous, but the soup was not hot enough, resulting in the bean sprouts being completely undercooked. Also, the spring rolls were supermarket bought frozen and not handmade freshly made at all, the texture was very average and very not worth it.

The service was quick, easy and fast. My first impressions of this restaurant is that it is very clean and has this homey feeling. The food was pleasant and even for the spicy options they are not overwhelming. The washrooms are small and clean. To pay, you would need to go to the counter and I personally like this because it allows you to stay and chat with friends or whoever you’re with. The menu is short, clean and not too many pictures.
I’d definitely recommend this restaurant to a friend and I’d come back again.
