Reviews for Essence of Saigon Vietnamese Restaurant in Calgary, AB

Lovely people who work here. Always welcoming and friendly. Fast service, great food, and priced well.

Love this place! Family owned. Great food and really friendly staff.

I would like to take a minute to talk about how excellent my food was from here. I live Vietnamese food, and have eaten ay many... different Vietnamese places on Calgary. This is easily my favourite. And I got my vermirllv from Skip the Dishes, so that issaying something. I ordered the charbroiled satay pork, and despite having had nothing else on the menu I can say that this isthe dish to have. It was straight up delicious. Also, they have Gluten Free (or friendly) options, which is really nice ifyou're eating with someone who is celiac. Love this place! I'm going again tomorrow. Read more

This is a shining example of a first class Vietnamese restaurant. I simply can?t say enough good things. Besides the amazing... food, made from scratch and real ingredients, the people there go above and beyond to provide the best service experience I?vehad in a long while. I plan on going back often!

We have found the best Vietnamese restaurant in Calgary after giving two tries at this place! (Like it at the first visit , and... love it at the second visit) For the usual Vietnamese restaurants in town we always find it okay, and it is always either okayor bad. But for this place, it is ?Very good!? We can tell the spring rolls are freshly made with that soft crunchiness on theoutside, and juicy ingredients stuffing inside. The charbroiled beef wrapped in betel is out of my expectation! Love how thatleaf smells, and the juicy beef inside with a hint of lemon grass. It is such a hit with the fish sauce. This is our dedicatedplace to go now :-) please stay in the business as long as you can cuz we love your food! Read more
