You won't need a lucky Buddha to experience the Vietnamese fare from Thanh Thanh Oriental Noodle House, but it makes a great selfie photo.
Even though this is casual dining, it's easy to see the pride the family run eatery takes in delivering an exceptional experience for their guests.
Parking is conveniently available on the street or behind the restaurant. The rear lot was full with about 10 vehicles around 1pm, so we found a spot on the street.
There are two dining rooms to choose from while we waited to be seated at the entrance. A warm greeting with a smile from the waitress and we were quickly shown to our table. Clean and ready with dining spoon and chopsticks.
Within a minute of being seated we were served a hot pot of tea and ice waters together with the menus. They're easy to navigate and have good descriptions of the Vietnamese fare that's available.
My wife and I ordered the 3 Imperial Rolls (Pork/vegetable) as an appetizer. For her an order of Grilled Chicken Vermicelli Bowl, and for me the Special Vermicelli Bowl.
The appetizer was fresh and hot served with a lovely side of greens and carrot together with a delicious dipping sauce. The wrap had a nice crunch while the filling was packed full of meat and veggies. So yummy!
The main dishes came soon after and were amazing with generous portions of meat, noodles and veggies. The dipping sauce was just the right amount and added a delicious flavor to the bowl. There was more than enough to satisfy a hungry appetite! I enjoyed every mouthful. Even though I was feeling full after about 3/4 of the Bowl I simply couldn't resist finishing it. The PERFECT blend of spice/seasoning and cooked just right!
During the course of our dining the server came by to refill waters, check to ensure we were happy and if we needed anything. There was attention to detail when the waitress asked if we needed any utensils other than what was in the table. I like a fork.
The restaurant decor is simple and comfortable for roominess and cleanliness. I love the large Buddha, good for luck so I had to get a selfie.
Thanh Thanh Oriental Noodle House knows great customer service, delicious food at a great value too! We both dined incl 20% gratuity for under $40 and took some food home.
This is 5-star service for casual dining that exceeded our expectations and will for you too. Say hi to the family there, such nice people you'll be feeling right at home.
We look forward to our next visit to try some of the other menu items. I hope you'll visit and experience it the way we did. Thank you to the Thanh Thanh family for their hospitality. Whether you're dining alone, with friends or the family, it's a place to feel welcome.
Remember patrons, you get the service you deserve, so smile yourself and be...
Read moreOne of Edmonton’s best-kept secrets for Chinese-style comfort food — fast, flavourful, and always amazing!
While it’s listed as a Vietnamese restaurant, we come here for the Chinese-style dishes — and they never disappoint. Ginger beef, cashew chicken, battered shrimp, and Shanghai noodles are among our favourites. A single dish is more than enough for someone with a good appetite and still leaves leftovers, making it a great spot to go with a few people, order your favourites, and share. The flavours are spot on — rich, bold, and exactly what you’d hope for.
One thing that always stands out is the speed and quality. When it’s quiet, the food comes out lightning fast. But even when the dining room is packed, which it often is (a good sign), the layout is spacious and the wait is surprisingly short — a testament to how dialed-in their kitchen and staff are.
If you’re looking for a quieter, more intimate experience, I’d recommend going during the week. And if you’d rather stay in, their takeout is just as solid — fast, reliable, and packed in high-quality containers that actually hold up in the car and for heating up leftovers.
Thanh Thanh is a rare kind of spot: consistent, reliable, and deeply satisfying. It’s our top choice for Chinese food and one of our favourite places to eat in Edmonton. We recommend it without hesitation. (Parking lot is in the back, accessible through the alley — street parking...
Read moreThis was my first time at Thanh Thanh restaurant. Our group was seven in number of Asian and European background. This is mentioned only since we have a few friends who can help us with any unusual items on the menu. I this case there was not.
It’s important to note this area of town parking can be an issue. You can park at the rear of the restaurant but make sure you sign in when you go into the restaurant. Of note at 1700 hrs we took the last parking place though there was only about six people in the restaurant.
I had the Cashew Scallops and my wife had the Cashew Shrimps. We had the Young Chow Fried Rice which was great.
Other items I tried from our friends was the deep fried squid which was fantastic. It was a meal in itself but was labeled as an appetizer. Two of us had the wonton and noodle soup. Personally I should have just ordered wonton soup. It was too filling again. One of our friends had the sizzling chicken and mushrooms and it was very good. Another friend had the special vermicelli and again enjoyed it a lot. Beef broccoli wass thick on the broccoli and way more than one person can eat.
So the bottom line is the food was good with generous portions made to share and that is what we did. We will come back and I will have leftovers for lunch for the rest...
