I visited Chao’s Bistro in Glenelg North for the first time today, drawn in by its strong online reviews. Upon arrival, I was pleased to find a clean restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere, and efficient staff. My friend and I ordered the Bistro's Beef Rib Noodle Soup, the Combination Noodle Salad Bowl, and a Vietnamese Iced Coffee. While the presentation was appealing, I found the flavours to be somewhat underwhelming. The dishes lacked the depth and authenticity I associate with traditional Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine. In particular, the nuoc cham (fish sauce) seemed diluted, possibly to suit a broader palate. Given the price point, I had expected higher-quality ingredients. The noodles in my Beef Rib Noodle Soup closely resembled the Taiwanese hand-pulled noodles available at Costco, which was disappointing.

For the fried rice, I think reducing the sugar or offering a white rice option for those looking for a lighter accompaniment would enhance the balance of the dish. But overall, a great dining spot if you enjoy bold,...
