Thanh-Thanh
Oriental Noodle House

Edmonton, AB
The Diner
Walking into the Thanh-Thanh, you are struck by how neat and clean the dining area is and how quickly the staff are moving around to serve customers. This restaurant has a quiet environment that invites intimate conversation and excellent service. It is owned and operated by a family that obviously takes great pride in their services and their menu.
Two rooms are separated by a wall of glass with a frosted logo. Above the bar on the back wall is a shrine that includes a very large amethyst geode that has been cut in half lengthwise. A silent slate waterfall adorns one wall. Quiet music is playing overhead and it does not disturb your conversation. There is a seating area with a large aquarium at the back for those waiting in line for a table.
Immediately upon entering you are greeted by a server, asked how many and pointed to the general direction of a table you can choose. When busy, they will direct us to the table they chose. Almost immediately they are there with the menu, glasses of water and a pot of steaming tea. They give us some time to ponder the mouth watering descriptions on the menu. If we are not and the menus are still closed because we have been talking rather than reading, they give us a reasonable distance and wait for us to close the menu. The food comes quickly and is beautifully done.
The Dinner
Colette has been eating here for over 20 years and claims the quality has been consistently excellent. Whether ordering lemongrass meat or seafood dishes, fine quality soups or vermicelli lunch dishes, you will not be disappointed. Their yellow curries are delicious, and seafood always fresh. Try the curried vegetables (see the picture above), the lemongrass chicken, curried beef or chicken with cashews. Did I mention lemongrass? Contact us if you get a crappy meal. We won’t believe you! Oh—and don’t forget the Vietnamese iced coffee.
The portions are reasonable as are the prices. A couple can eat one platter with rice---but you will want to try more and take home the rest for the next day.
This place is one of Colette’s favorites. It is quickly becoming one of David’s, too. We ordered two entrees and rice; with tax and tip it came to $47 CAD.

Must recommend the chicken, cashew, carrot celery dish with rice. $18-19 or so all-in with tea, feeds two. I second that this place has some of the most consistently lovely asian food in the city and is in our top few fav places to eat.
