Best Vermicelli Bowl in Saskatoon

About Our Vermicelli Bowl

The Vietnamese Vermicelli Bowl (Bún) is a light, fresh alternative to heavier noodle soups — and at Mai's Kitchen in Saskatoon, it's one of the most popular choices for health-conscious diners. Thin, delicate rice vermicelli noodles form the base, topped with crisp shredded lettuce, bean sprouts, julienned cucumber, pickled daikon and carrot, crushed roasted peanuts, and fresh herbs including mint and cilantro.

The choice of protein elevates the bowl: grilled lemongrass pork (bún thịt nướng) is the classic option, while grilled chicken, shrimp, and tofu are also available. Everything is finished with a side of nước chấm — the classic Vietnamese dipping sauce of fish sauce, lime, sugar, garlic, and chili — which you pour over the bowl and toss together. The result is a meal that is simultaneously fresh, hearty, and full of bright, complex flavour.
