Review from Matthew L.
Edmonton, AB
10/30/2010
My wife and I have recently moved from James Bay to Esquimalt and we're thrilled with the number of ethnic restaurants here versus the old-folks-friendly or overpriced/touristy selection of the old hood.
Vietnam Garden is somewhat of an odd establishment, not an exclusively Vietnamese restaurant, but a pan-Asian hybrid, with some western influences. The owner, who has a presumably Chinese (or possibly Korean) name, Ken Yu, has cooked extensively in Saigon, but also cooked at Le Crocodile in Vancouver.
My wife claims that their salad roll happens to be the best she's ever tried - and we've had them in Saigon. All of the veggies were super-fresh and well prepared. She also enjoyed the dipping sauce served with the fried spring roll included in her vegetarian combo, as well as the spring roll itself.
I ordered the special dinner combo, which I believe cost about $10 in total, but it may have been slightly more expensive. The combo consisted of a banana chicken curry, rice, a coconut milk-based hot and sour soup, a spring roll, and oddly, a small slice of New York Cheesecake.
I found the texture of the chicken banana curry to be a little too gummy. The sugars in the banana candied the chicken and it made somewhat of a squeaky sound as I ate. The spring roll and soup were delicious, and the New York Cheesecake was surprisingly creamy and awesome.
If you ever find yourself in Esquimalt, give this a try.
