Saigon Rex Vietnamese Kitchen

Got the satay beef noodle soup. I didn't know it was peanut based and thought it was just chili based. It was still pretty good. The bowl was big and had lots of tender beef. Also I heard the lobster noodle soup here is popular. Need to try that next time.

I can always tell how authentic a Vietnamese restaurant each time I order Bun Bo Hue. I was pleasantly surprised by the smooth nature of the soup. Every drop of spice that came over me like tingles as I intake and inhale. The politeness and pace to receive my meal was like a consistent flow. What a classy feel. With big gorgeous cared for windows the light gently penetrates the lovely space while the air conditioning was cold so that every hot bite made the feeling exceptional. I would say this Modern infused comfort style with class is definitely a date night must! And when alone it sure sets you at ease whatever your day is.

The food is very good! However, we didn't get an actual bill and the server just told my husband the total having already added a 20% tip without saying she had added a tip table with two adults and one child so not expecting that either. My husband ended up paying another 20% tip on top of that and we only realized later since we were in a hurry to leave as our upset toddler was already outside the restaurant with me. I don't have a problem with automatic gratuity although it should be clearly stated or we should have been given an itemized bill. Ended up inadvertantly paying like a 40% tip. Note: ordered lobster curry $25, pork vermicelli 14.50 and one bubbletea $6 and told we owe $57. Ended up paying $68 with additional tip.

Had a disappointing experience here before but my cousin really wanted to try the lobster pho so decided to give it another go. The broth was good but the lobster was very overdone and the taste was off, one lobster tail was rubbery, the other was mushy and broke apart on contact. Would come back for regular pho perhaps.

Don’t know if this has changed hands recently but it’s become a total disaster. Waited for 45 mins after the given pickup time for my order. Other people had been waiting for an hour. The restaurant was empty. Got home to find they had missed all the salad from the vermicelli and had given me the wrong starter. And what’s worse it wasn’t even edible

Saigon Rex has the best Vietnamese food and service in Calgary. They alway go above and beyond to make sure their customers are happy. We ordered dinner through Skip the dishes, after our order was delivered, I noticed that there was a mistake with what we ordered. I called the restaurant and without hesitation, they apologized and said they would make and deliver the correct order as soon as possible. Within 20 minutes the driver from the restaurant delivered the correct order to my home and also apologized for the mix up. I can't recommend this restaurant enough! Exceptional food and service. Thank you Saigon Rex!

I don’t usually write reviews but : I love the food here, I always do takeout and the owner is super friendly but I dined in yesterday and the waitress I had was so rude. As soon as a sat down she asked if I’m ready to order. I asked for her to come back 5 minutes and not even a minute later she asked if I’m ready to order. I said no I need a few more minutes - she became so annoyed didn’t say anything and walked away then got someone else to help me . I understand you’re doing your job but please give people some time to look at your menu, you have a lot to choose from. Thank you.

Very nice restaurant. The food was really good. The quantity was a lot larger than I expected. Had to pack several boxes. The waiters could have advised us better.Food: 5/5

We had a pretty large group and the staff were very attentive and always around to help us. The food was great and very fast. Tom was personable and helped make us feel special. We will be back and highly recommend this restaurant!
