Reviews for XO Bistro + Bar (Downtown) in Edmonton, AB
Super nice staff, we went there prior to the eagles concert. My napkin hit the floor and the bar tender came like lighting to... replace it, nice.the young server was very attentive and perky but not in an annoying way. We started with the oxtail fries,which were wonderful, would do them again in a heart beat. We shared a vermicelli bowl and it was good but not over the top, wetry lots of vietnamese restaurants so not a deal breaker there. We would for sure go again on our next visit. Read more
I love Vietnamese food! XO was a breath of fresh air! I had the Oxtail gravy & fries (with an egg) and it was everything I... imagined it would be. Savoury and delicious! I also ordered the chicken satay skewers and they were fantastic! Curry peanutsauce was spot on! Now, the soup. I love their spicy beef satay soup. It is hearty, spicy, tangy, and hits you with a punch offlavour. The chef knows what they are doing here. I ALWAYS find reasons to complain when ordering out but found ZERO issues(other than their excessive excellence!!!) Seriously, darn good food. Read more
Underated, this restaurant delivered on Vietnamese dishes with a twist. The Pho Beef Dip, a Bánh mì sandwich made to taste of... a traditional Pho was phenomenal! The bread alone was perfect, it had the perfect crust and soft interior a true Vietnamesebaguette. The dip brought it all together. The XO fries also a hit, with shredded carrots and cilantro... couldn't get enough. Ileft full and impressed. As a side, great cocktails but most importantly, awesome service! Read more
Went there for lunch on a weekday. The bistro serves Vietnamese cuisine. The food tasted fresh and delicious. The fried chicken... was crisp and wasn't oily, while the grilled chicken and shrimp were decent. The server was courteous, fast, and seemedknowledgeable regarding food suggestions. The food options are good and it is reasonably priced. Read more
The staff is so kind & friendly. They were welcoming and the food was delicious. The cocktails are beautiful and there was a... huge selection to choose from. The beef dip was personally my favourite and the pho the works was amazing as well ! Read more
My son and I spent the past 3 days trying out some pho in our local area and this was our favourite spot. It's a great airy... space and the service was perfect, attentive, not intrusive. We had papaya salad for an appetizer and I think I probably couldhave had the regular soup and would have been right full. Portions were really filling. Altogether delightful! Read more
First time trying take out from XO, the foods are delicious! We ordered Satay with all kinds of meats, bun bo hue, spring rolls,... satay noodle, ox tail fries and beef jerky papaya salad, the prep time is great, it only takes 20 mins for the order to getready for pick up. Overall, I will say it's the best Vietnamese restaurant in Windermere area. Read more
Had Chelsea as my server! It was our first time here and she was very knowledgeable about the menu and extremely patient and... kind when we were still indecisive about the menu while taking care of me and my friends! She was very personable as well asattentive to our needs! Food was outstanding and already planning a second visit because of this whole experience. XO is verylucky to have Chelsea apart of your team! Read more
