XO Bistro + Bar

My husband ordered a meal and asked for ketchup, twice and never did receive it. He asked for a pop, twice, finally received it halfway through his meal. At the end they asked if he would like a top to which he never did receive. I have celiac disease and asked about gluten free options since it was highlighted on the menu. I was really disappointed in the fact that the items listen as gf, where not indeed gf. How can this restaurant claim that their menu items as gf when they are not, so misleading and downright dangerous. If I had not probed with some further questions I would have been very ill by ordering something that they falsely claimed to be gluten free. This shows a lack of understanding in the food industry. I would have expected a restaurant in the downtown core of edmonton to be more professional than this.

This was my second time being in Edmonton and I was craving pho, the restaurant had such a nice vibe. It was so aesthetic and had beautiful decorations! Tho food took around 15 minutes to come out even though it was a bit dead but the food was very delicious and reminded me of my Vietnamese grandmother when she made homemade pho! They had gluten free options which are really inclusive and the servers were so joyful and sweet! 100% recommend going
