Rau Bistro Vietnamese Street Food

One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in the city, and arguably the best one in its near area. Rau Bistro boasts an inspired menu from around the country with precision taste and speed every time I’ve been there. They feature many items of which I haven’t tried at other Vietnamese restaurants and are very helpful in explaining them to my family and me. We had the fried cuttlefish which came topped with something like a dried shrimp jam, amazing. And the Beef dishes combo for 2 was an experience that was nothing short of changing how I perceived Vietnamese cuisine. Price Portion Product A real star in the community.

Load up well with your late night I had a nice curry soup and I had this beef wrapped in leaf they call it LOT LOT. I like the way the appetizer was presented you can see the photo I took. For some reason I'm used to a creamed curry Vietnamese soup and this one was lighter and I actually liked it. Don't seem to have a traditional Vietnamese menu and that's what makes it very appealing to me there's just items there that you don't normally pay attention to and it kind of forces you to go outside the Box and I think that's very adventurous so I can't wait to come back here and try something different. My eyes are on their seafood soup. If it's consistent I'll give them a higher rating so far alike everything about it.

We visited Rau Bistro after seeing it posted in a Facebook group and it did NOT disappoint! We loved everything we had! The food was fresh, and super tasty. Even our children who don’t eat new food, ate everything they tried. We will 100% be going back to try the roll your own wrap and what looked like hotpot another table was enjoying. We had the mega bowl, some salad rolls and spring rolls and the portions were so big! We we happy to take home leftovers and even ordered another mega bowl to go. If you’re thinking about trying this place, just go!!

We’ve been here a few times and Rau Bistro does not disappoint! Flavourful Vietnamese-style soups! Bun Bo Hue soup is not as flavourful only a hint of fermented shrimp paste as our other favourite Viet places -still okay though!

We ordered tamarind wings, bun bo hue, and creamy tossed noodles. Their dishes are more like modern style Vietnamese. Food tastes good altho tamarind flavour could be stronger and good vibes. Everyone has their own neighborhood pho place to go whenever they crave for a hot soup, but it's also good to visit once a while in a younger and more modern Vietnamese restaurant and try some unique Vietnamese food. Would recommend to give a try.

It's a clean and spacious restaurant, it's perfect for my family of 5. The Vietnamese guy who works there is gentle and kind, the food is so good, and the place is clean! We order the grilled pork with marinated egg yolk I think, and the house noodles, it was delicious! The washroom is clean and looks luxurious. We will be back again when we visit Calgary.

First time coming to their newly opened shop since they moved and I really like how they modernized their concept and interior renovations. The service was great, and the food came out fast and no real complaints about the food. I did order what the reviews told me to order which was the salt and pepper cuttlefish fish and the bun mam. Definitely good set to have !

If your looking for something new to try. We had the Bò 7 món 7 courses of beef which is set for 2 people. The service and atmosphere of the restaurant was great. Just wished the portion size was a little more than 2 pieces of the grilled beef la lot & grilled satay beef to make the wraps but overall the Bò 7 món was good.

Came here for the first time last week and wasn't disappointed. It's a very clean and well layed out establihment. Bright and colourful atmosphere, plenty of seating and very clean. The menu is a good size, and easy to read with lots of photos to aid you in your decisions. There is large range of traditional as well as a few more modern takes on Vietnamese food. There is also a kids combo, which is actually quite a generous portion. Speaking of portions, they are not huge but they are filling. The food comes out pretty quick and is beautifully presented, and very flavourful. The broth in my order was one of the cleanest I've tasted in town. Another note on cleanliness, the facilities are very well kept, well stocked, well lit and clean. Parking is pretty plentiful and access it easy from Centre Street. This place gets busy and reservations are recommended, especially for larger groups, and the waiting area isn't very large. Make sure you give them a visit. The food is great and the service is also amazing, no matter how busy they get. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

We stopped in for the Bahn Mi. We tried the chicken and the fish cake with pineapple. Would say the chicken was the winner for us. The pricing can’t be beat, at $8 each!! Friendly and efficient service.
