Golden Pagoda Burmese Asian Restaurant in Saskatoon

Really flavourful yummy authentic food. Properly spicy if you go for the highest level!! Will be back to try more.

These guys are the best! So delish and so kind. Must try the coconut soup and spicy eggplant. Sad to have the restaurant all to ourselves the whole evening. Amazing food and prices you can t beat.

So delicious! Very friendly family restaurant with such a unique and nourishing menu. Very enjoyable aesthetic and generous portions. Great for leftovers! Will definitely be back again.

Great food and a lovely family style atmosphere. Service was great, will eat here again Forsure.

Outstanding food. Ordered a takeout. We got the spring rolls , Burmese style fried noodles, spicy lemongrass shrimp and the stir fried asparagus. We had service with a smile and oh .their samosas are to die for!! Would recommend!!

Amazing food. Portions are big and prices are reasonable. You can definitely see that love in their cooking. Check it out. You will be surprised.

Stopped here while traveling. Wish I could move to Saskatoon just to be a regular at this place. Dont miss it!

We had Golden Pagoda delivered last night and the food was amazing! I really like the squash sticks and the variety of flavors in what we ordered. The curry shrimp is divine too

The owners are amazing! They are so good with our kids too! The food is 10/10. My favorite is the coconut chicken soup, simosas and thousand layer bread!

Excellent food and service

A very nice family run business. The food was fantastic and the service was great. Definitely recommended. Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options

Great place my favourite place to eat

Quaint, friendly, delicious food. Such a little hidden gem.

We travel from Regina to Saskatoon often and have been to this place multiple times and have always enjoyed. We get our special dish and they now know it as soon as we get in. Family run restaurant - very nice family.

I was pleased that this restaurant had several vegetarian options, and that portions were generously large. Service was good, and I would definitely come back in the future. Vegetarian options: I dont remember what it was called, but there was an eggplant dish that was good.

Our favourite place in Saskatoon by far! The vegetables in banana leaf is amazing, and there are many other great dishes. Most dishes can be made vegetarian -- just ask. The owner is the nicest guy ever. Go there a few times and he becomes your friend. Cant recommend highly enough!

Best food ever!! Highly recommend!

Food was delicious and Lou was so friendly

Had the spicy chefs special. All the dishes were perfect, and went well together. An excellent experience, thank you guys!

Awesome food. Good portion size (I almost always have extras I can bring home from my lunch). Reasonable prices.

Went in a large family gathering. It is an intimate restaurant but we fit 26 with room for others. Food was excellent, we had about 12 different dishes and they were all very good. Staff was very accommodating and food was brought out in a timely fashion and still hot, not an easy feat for a large group. Im not sure about pricing because it was paid for by someone else in our group. I would like to point out that the owners knew we were coming in advance so they were able to plan the evening. Please dont take a group of 26 on the spur of the moment and expect it to go as flawlessly as our visit did. I am sure they would accommodate you but it may take more time.

Golden Pagoda might be my favourite restaurant in Saskatoon. Its reliably great food.

I love this place. Been a regular for over a decade. Amazing mom and pop shop.

Only good things to say, the service has always been great and the food delicious! The vegetarian samosas are my absolute favourite

Great owners and great food. A true gem in Saskatoon.

Amazing food with wonderful owners. One of Saskatoons best restaurants.

MontHinGar was really good. Glad I found this place.

Honestly the flavor is unmatched. This restaurant has been around for over 18 years and it has always been a favorite. Vegetarian options: They have great wonderful tofu dishes as well as all vegetable dishes. Delicious.

Local subreddit raves about this place so that should be all you need to know. Owner s vax certificate is prominently displayed if that s a thing that s important to you. Decent portion sizes but don t mistake quantity for quality. Tasty enough but not so much as to warrant a return trip. The owner is extra nice tho.

Had Spicy Rice Bowl with Chicken - Medium spicy which is rated as 4/20 by the owner of the restaurant Green base and chicken we tender and soft I enjoyed, would like to try Pat Thai and Samosa next time when I am here Quick service and light on pocket, located opposite Starbucks - Highly recommended

Food was 10/10 this owner knows how to cook

Father was critical about the level of cleanliness but the food was great and the guy was smiling and friendly, crazy good prices and will be coming back myself.

Best restaurant we ve been to in Saskatoon! If you haven t been yet you re missing out. We started with the pickled green tea leaf salad, then we had the minced pork salad (even better than the thai version), and the ginger lemongrass shrimp! Everything was dreamy

Excellent meal and great service.

Good food with vegetarian options, but not as good as it used to be ... needs a bit of a refresh ...

Food was amazing and quantity was huge. The owner was friendly and helpful. Must visit for a unique flavorful cuisine.

Hands down our new favorite spot! Delicious food for the right price!!

Ordered the Ohn No Khao Swe and it was delicious!

The beef curry with rice lunch special is fantastic. Perfect portion size, great value. They adjust the level of spiciness to your taste. If youre not sure how spicy you want, trust the owner. He knows his stuff!

Minus the banana stem the mohinga is exactly like you get in Myanmar...just not 1 dollar lol

Tried this gem for the first time yesterday evening. We will certainly be back. This family run restaurant serves absolutely delicious food for a very reasonable price. The owner is so friendly and informative - his wife is in the kitchen and his two children help. The fried rice has so much flavour unlike any I have had elsewhere. All of the dishes are so full of taste and so much better than any other Asian restaurant I have tried.

Unique atmosphere and amazing food

Popped in here for supper. Wow absolutely amazing. Everything was delicious. We had four different meals and a couple appetizers and there wasn t a single thing we didn t like.

I can t believe it took us this long to try Golden Pagoda. Easily the best coconut soup in Saskatoon. We ve ordered delivery twice - and each time the food was fresh, bright and packed with so much flavour. 11/10!!

Ive ordered several dishes and all of them have been delicious. This is by far one of the best restaurants in the city in terms of quality, consistency and bang for your buck.

Very tasty food, reasonably priced. (Take out)

Probaly the best spring rolls ive ever had. Also had 2 curry special and would give it a 10 out of 10. Lots of food for the price. Food

Every thing we have ever ordered from Golden Pagoda has been beyond excellent. It is my favourite take-out in Saskatoon. The spicy rice with the house beef curry and the spring rolls are my absolute favourite. Owner is such a nice guy and always remembers my husband when he goes in. If you haven t given this place a try yet, go! You won t be disappointed! We have never had a bad meal from there.

I ordered 4 different options from the lunch menu because I hadnt tried Burmese food before and was interested in experiencing it. A couple of dishes were a bit to sweet for my liking and the flavors werent as complex as I had imagined they would be. The curry was alright. The lunch menu and the dinner menu are quite different and I think this is a place I will have to return to in the future to properly evaluate some of the other dishes they offer as so many people really love this place. The owners must being doing something right! As things stand, I feel like this is an incompletele review, but the lunch menu had left me looking for more than what was offered.

Delicious as always. Friendliest owner with the best formula for cooking. Update: returning every now and then, still just as delicious soul food. Today we got a history lesson. Thank you for sharing your story!

We did some work in town and found this gem. We are from Albert and any time we drive east we stop in the heart of the city to eat this incredible food.

Excellent food at reasonable prices

This restaurant has a very unique cuisine and is one of a handful of Burmese restaurants in Canada. Visit once and be prepared to make return visits.

Greatly enjoyed lunch. Nice twist on Oriental food. My wife and I had a curry combo with spring rolls. All were very good. Our companions had the Mandarin salad that was very good. The owner is a very personable man. I have found my favorite restaurant in Saskatoon.

Fantastic food, complex flavors, and good portion sizes. Highly recommend.

The food was delicious, and the owner was a joy to talk to! Highly recommended this place.

Amazing tastes I highly suggest this place if you are interested in trying something new. Very friendly owners. Great experience.

Not sure how I ve never left a review, but this place hands down is the best place to get food in all of Saskatoon. The coconut chicken soup, along with the samosas and spring rolls are phenomenal and like nothing else. Not to mention, the family is so incredibly kind and does everything on their own back in that kitchen! Every time I go in, he is so sweet and puts a smile on my face. This has been my #1 restaurant for years now and I will never change my mind. All their food is amazing but you NEED to try the coconut chicken soup. I will NEVER stop raving about how great this restaurant is.

Always great food and service. Lots of vegan/vegetarian options (sub chicken for tofu).

We hadnt eaten here for 6 years & the food is still as delicious as ever. 3 of us shared an Asian Garden Salad & a large bowl of Spicy Laksa soup. Thursday Lunch & the place was full. Owner is terrific as well. We shall return should the opportunity present itself. And when were back in Saskatoon.

Excellent food and friendly staff!

Absolutely delicious, we had shrimp curry it was great. I ve only been once but we will definitely come back.

One of the best restaurants in Saskatoon. A true gem!

Amazing food. So tasty. This is a most go in Saskatoon

This place is awesome. Everything was awesome.

Try it!! The people that own the place are amazing. I havent had anything there that I didnt like!! Just try it you will love it!!

Great food and atmosphere. The owners are so nice! This past time I tried the mushroom tempura and laksa soup, both of which were excellent.

Very yummy food. Great service. Lovely owners.

Absolutely AMAZING food. This is one of my all time favourite restaurants. Everything on the menu is fantastic. So flavourful and fresh. I highly recommend this place!!!

I don t even know what to say but this is the only restaurant in saskatoon where it s worth eating simply because it s owned by a married couple who operate and make the food. Everything is good here especially the pork curry

Amazing food and fantastic service! I m from Toronto and came to visit Saskatoon for a weekend. On my last night- hoping to find some good food, my friends local to Sask recommended this place. Such a lovely dining experience, thank you for making our last night such a rememberable experience!

If I could leave 6 stars I could. Amazing food, lovely service.

Absolutely fantastic food in a nice and cozy atmosphere with friendly service. Portion sizes are very generous and the price is really good. I tried three different dishes with my family for lunch and they all had their very own delicious flavour. My favourite was the Burmese Noodle Bowl with shrimp.

Very good food with large portions for very reasonable prices. Each dish was unique and very different from the rest. I highly recommend.

Always amazing and friendly service. The onion and the coconut shrimp are my go to! Tried the coconut chicken soup and definitely became a favourite.

Delicious!

Wow, just WOW!!!! I wish I lived in Saskatoon! I am thinking about moving here so I can come back here again and again!!! LOVED every dish!!! Get the Samosas!!! I am in love. Family business! Amazing meal! Great service. Obvious passion for their business, food and customers! Great job!

About ten years ago I went into a Burmese restaurant in Taipei and tried mohinga, a type of startlingly delicious fish soup unlike anything else Ive eaten and the national dish of Myanmar. Ive sought out Burmese food ever since. I went to a Burmese grocer in Edmonton and asked where I could get good Burmese food. Much to my disappointment, he said Saskatoon. Years later when I finally had the chance to visit the city, I went straight to the Golden Pagoda and ordered mohinga. It was absolutely heavenly, some of the most satisfying food Ive eaten in my life. Deep, subtle, complex flavours and textures. The portion was also large enough for two people and clearly under-priced at $16. Saskatoon is so lucky to have the Golden Pagoda. Highest possible recommendation.

Great service, exceptional authentic food. Family run with pride.

Amazing food. Big portions and the food is delicious. The traditional soup (MonHiGar?) Was the best item we ate. Would definitely recommend.

Truly a gem in Saskatoon. Having never had Burmese food, the server was very helpful and made excellent recommendations. The dishes we ordered were incredible and unique. Would highly recommend!

Excellent food and people

My new favorite restaurant in town. Owner was very friendly and the food was amazing

Very friendly, food was great! We will definitely eat here again

Very lovely food and wonderful service as well!!

Fantastic food. Try their noodle bowl.

I had spicy chicken rice bowl with spicy level 18....awesome spicy ..too hot.....here the actual spice level is 2 to 8...max spice level is 18.. I love it... I am trying this from last 1 year monthly once at least..... Indians love this spice....

I ve waited two years since my last trip to Saskatoon to eat here, as it was closed during my last trip, and it was well worth the wait. As the only Burmese restaurant between Ontario and BC, it is hard to find Burmese cuisine at home in Edmonton. The owner is a very nice man and we chatted about Burmese cuisine over our meal. We ordered the tea leaf salad, Shan noodles and Mohinga rice noodles. All three dishes were excellent and the portions are HUGE, so much so that we ended up taking most of our Shan noodles home. Whenever I visit YXE again, I will eat at Golden Pagoda again.

Very happy with the meal and service! Such a reasonable rate for a great meal.

This is the only Burmese restaurant in Saskatoon, and its been a well-kept secret for so long. Golden Pagoda is run by lovely people who serve flavourful and homecooked comfort food. In the mood for an asian meal? Try something new, give Golden Pagoda a shot.

Delicious, unique dishes.

Great food and great service. A tiny gem on the prairies!

Food was good, service was great, and atmosphere was quaint. I was initially disappointed they only had pad Thai available for lunch, but the server sorted me out and had it made as a noodle side.

Amazing

The food was absolutely phenomenal and the service was great! Such a lovely family-run restaurant, with a very cosy atmosphere. I highly recommend for anyone looking for something a bit off the beaten track. We will be visiting you very often.

Good food!

A great local family owned joint where the service is always friendly and the food is very good. If youre looking for some more authentic asian food in the city this is a great choice!

I really love the chickpea tofu salad. Its not soya tofu but made from chickpeas. It is great when you dont want the spicy curry. Owner is really friendly. Dishes are tasty and unique and you can get them to your preferred spice level.

Food is delicious, the staff is super friendly.

Great food with a cozy atmosphere! Casual dining, great Asian flavors with your desired amount of spice!

We were a group of 7, and the only people there on a Friday evening. The wine was disgusting, and tasted off . Then came the food. The beef was masked with a spice that destroyed all taste for that and everything else we ordered. Steamed vegetables in Banana Leaves sounded so appetizing but it was like soup so over-steamed that it was I recognizable. My first and last time there. I didn t complain because I didn t pay, but I m surprised they re open.

Great service, amazing food, nice atmosphere. Go here. Eat this food. It s so delicious. And you won t be disappointed by the portion sizes!! 2 meals for the price of one!

Love the coconut soup

Absolutely delicious food!

My daughter wanted to introduce me to new food. We went to the Golden Pagoda. As soon as you walk in, the aroma of spices and other foods captures you. We had ordered coconut chicken soup and steamed vegetables in banana leaves and coconut rice. What an amazing meal. The portions are large, definitely a sharing meal. Would highly recommend this place.

Best lunch special in town. Spicy rice bowl with beef is absolutely delicious and a great price. Can t recommend this place enough.

The food is really good and good portions for the price you pay.

They have spicy food with Indian and Asian flavors.

Visiting from out of town and didnt expect a Burmese restaurant in Saskatoon, and to be this authentic! It was very delish! Had the chicken curry rice and it was amazing! Service was very hospitable and friendly. Wish I had something this good in Toronto!

Awesome

Very friendly, family owned place to enjoy delicious Burmese food. A lot of choice and spice levels for anyone to enjoy!

Dishes are good and authentic. Just ask for less oil during cooking as they use a lot for some of the dishes, end up having a pool of oil once gravy is done. Good place for a occasional variety.

Great taste, reasonable priced.

The server was extremely polite and very easy to talk to, and the food was fantastic! I ordered egg noodles, but I was actually blown away by the vegetables they were served with. Absolutely delicious and great service!

Saskatoon is fortunate to have such a rare cuisine in the city. Burmese food is not easy to come by.

Always excellent. Vegetable in banana leaf is an awesome dish

Best restaurant in the city! Great service and delicious food. Order coconut chicken soup and shrimp in coconut sauce!

Delicious food and very friendly staff who made great recommendations for our large group

Great food, family owned, great service.

Absolutely fantastic went through 6 or 7 dishes split between friends. Each dish was superb. The owner is great and atmosphere is cool. I will be back soon. :)

One of my favorite restaurants in Saskatoon. Family run, authentic and unique, super friendly owner and undeniably fresh and delicious (Burmese food). Lunch or dinner, give this place a try and your taste buds wont regret it. Sometimes it gets busy at lunch but the food is worth the wait.

...best Samosas, curry, rice, nana, and elephant ears in the city. Get level 7 if you like heat. Best family run restaurant in the city hands down.

Awesome

Man its awesome place and the owner is pretty nice, plus the food is amazing

My first visit I ordered the pad thai and loved it. The owner provided a homemade spicy sauce with it and I couldnt get enough. The second time I came just for dessert, which is only offered with dinner and is labeled dessert on the menu. Its was a great deal and portion is huge. If youve never had deep fried Burmese elephant ears before its so delicious. Think - fried puff pastry with chocolate sauce, condensed milk, and sugar on top. So good! Overall super friendly service with great food and portion sizes at an affordable price. Highly recommend!

Price is high

Great food with a deliscious blend of Chinese, thai and Indian flavors . The owner serves you while his wife cooks and their two young kids clear tables and chat up the patrons. One of our favorite places to eat out in Saskatoon .

was very good

The food was fantastic - as always.

Excellent service and pride in the food. Saskatoon is lucky to have you, Golden Pagoda.

Excellent meal and service at this establishment - very tasty and cordial greeting for our group of ten.

Really great food, fast and polite service.

We were planning on going here for a while and finnaly did. The food is great and the service is as well. The dish we ordered with beef would be in my top dishes for restaurants in Saskatoon. The coconut rice is done well, not being too sweet. The prices are also very reasonable.

Incredible authentic Burmese food with excellent service from Lu the owner. Every dish is a highlight but the curry was my favourite!

Despite good reviews, food was not 5 star. It smelled good when it came out but chicken tasted fishy and old. I have a fish allergy so I was not able to eat it at all. Ate some of the noodles which were okay but hard to mess up noodles. My friend got the coconut curry she said it was just coconut milk on spaghetti noodles. We were disappointed.

Top five best restaurants in all of Saskatoon. Owner is great food is spectacularly good. Thumbs up!

Fantastic place to eat!. Family run with world class food!!

My favorite restaurant! Their coconut chicken curry soup/noodles is to die for! Went again! Excellent service, delicious Coconut Chicken soup and such a cozy atmosphere!

Absolutely my favourite restaurant in Saskatoon. Owned by a very lovely couple that are passionate about sharing Burmese food with Saskatoon. Every item Ive tried is great, but my favourites are their soups, main curry, and the Thai basil fish. So good!

This is food you sit at home and dream/drool about.

One of the best spots in the city. Unique and delicious food!

Not as good as i expected.

Really lovely people that run the restaurant and the food is amazing. Prices are really reasonable and the entire menu looks delicious.

Really good food. Generous portion with their Pad Thai.

Excellent food, service is lacklustre unless youre on first name basis or atleast thats how we felt

Great coconut soup

If you havent been, go... like now. Get the lunch special, Spicy Rice Bowl (Beef, Pork or Chicken), I prefer Beef. You set the spice level, start with a 3 and work your way up. Lu owns and operates the place with his wife, and are fantastic people.

I literally ate here every day of the week once. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Love the lunch here! Samosa are great, I get the chicken rice and love it. The staff here remember your name and there is always parking available even for being downtown. The soup here is great but a bit too spicy for me, but I am not a spice/heat kind of person.

Good family business with good portions and reasonable prices-love the flavors. Sometimes gets swamped if too many come in at a time- hence 4 stars

Friendly, fun, staff; delicious food!

Food is always good. Owner is a great guy. An experience you wont regret.

Excellent food prepared and served by a great family.

Authentic, tasty and wholesome Burmese (or Myanmar) food made with care and served with respect and friendliness. The owners are a wonderful couple and I wish them both great success, health and happiness in their future in Canada.

My favourite restaurant!

Cool, ppl loved it

Great atmosphere and food! If you havent been here, you are missing out on a unique restaurant experience in Saskatoon!

Very good

The food and customer service are great and the owners are good people.

If you havent tried Burmese food, try it. If you have, youve already been here and you know. Similar ingredient pallette to Thai food, but with different techniques and flavours. The owner here is super friendly, and its a total family run place.

Good prices and good service for excellent Burmese food. Fresh and well prepared.

This is truly a hidden gem for Saskatoon. Its a must see place. Get maximum spicy to reach enlightenment.
