Watt Street Bistro - Winnipeg, Manitoba

First time at Watt Street Bistro today. We really enjoyed it and, even though we came shortly before closing, we experienced friendly service and great food. I really recommend #24B. It is the best vermicelli bowl I've had. My son also enjoyed the Pho, it was served hot with ... an extremely tasty soup broth. We will definitely be eating here again with more of the family. Sooooo good! Posting pics of our second visit there. Loved the crab cream cheese wontons! Read more

Huge portions! Decent prices! Delicious food! Lots of variety! Lots of leftovers! We will be back! —————————— Unfortunately, our second experience here was very opposite to our first review above. Still large portions, but the food came out at very weird intervals. Our main dishes came out before appetizers, and everything came out one dish at a time. ... When you order a meal like this it should all come out at the same time or in a logical order with appetizers first. I did not care for their version of Pad Thai, and would never order it again. It was also atrociously hot in the restaurant, like beyond hot. It was cooler outside and it was an extremely hot day. I don’t know if their a conditioner was broken down or just couldn’t keep up. However, the bathroom was cool (so I have doubts on it being broken down) but the main part of the restaurant was intolerable and I couldn’t wait to leave. I also must remark on the loud music that was playing on the TV with the same incessant background noise that was actually aggravating to the years. This added to me wanting to leave as soon as possible. I can’t decide if we will be back, based on our second experience which is really unfortunate. Read more

Had dinner here on a Friday, there were a few dine in customers but the place was being overwhelmed by take away and pickup orders that our food took some considerable time to arrive. The Pho was ok but was not piping hot when served, the salad rolls were good as-well ... as the dipping sauce, crab cream cheese wanton is similar to what you typically find in other places that serve them, the Bahn mi was disappointing and I would not order it again here, for good Bahn Mi in this area, go over to Grand Donuts (they also have good Pho) also our order of Pad Thai got mixed up and we received some Chow Mein instead. We were seated in a table that was very cold because every time the door opens a blast of cold air hits us, it was so bad that I started wearing my jacket. The food here is ok and reasonably priced, thats why there are a lot of take out customers and skip but maybe because of this they are focused on churning out food and not able to maintain their usual quality.

Already excited to go back! We split the pork and shrimp salad rolls, and thought these were excellent. The 4 salad rolls are approximately 500 grams of food and are enough for a meal on their own. I got the beef pad Thai and this was 1000g of food, more ... than enough for 2 people. My partner got the house special vermicelli which had chicken, grilled shrimp, charbroiled pork and a pork patty, and included yummy spring rolls. She missed having fresh basil leaves, but loved it otherwise. Amazing value for the amount of food and the flavour. Read more

The staff was friendly and inviting. Menus were dropped of and drink orders were taken within 30 seconds of sitting down. The food came out hot, delicious and in a timely manner. As usual the portions are bigger then we expect so we have leftovers for a late night snack.
