Nutana Cafe

Saw the reviews and thought it should be a relatively safe place to try. Either the reviewers have really low standards for food, or there just aren’t any good options in the city. We walked in & immediately wanted to walk back out – the place is extremely outdated and dirty looking, not appetizing in the slightest. Food was bland, unflavored, greasy, and honestly not worth it’s cheap price. Service was a joke, the guy at the front was awful and had a disgusting attitude. Go anywhere else but here, I wouldn’t even eat here if it was for free

Amazing food as always! We dine in or order take out weekly and love it every time! I especially love the noodle bowls and the Vietnamese ginger beef! Any time my family is in town we have to get noodle bowls, and they have the best spring rolls and fresh rolls in town!

People may be confused about what this restaurant is. In my view, the Nutana Cafe is like one of those tiny back alley secret gems at King and Spadina in Toronto (where I'm from) , that you could only discover by accident or word-of-mouth. I come here because it has what I have been missing from Saskatoon restaurans: Extreme Value + Familiar Feelings.By the same token, the restaurant is not showy. It is clear they have not wasted overhead in tawdry decore or anything like that. I enjoy seeing the same décor I've seen for years. It gives me that familiar feeling which is, in my opinion, part of the this restaurant's end product. If you are the type of person that enjoys visual perceptions in a restaurant, this restaurant may not be for you. And that is OK. That said, the place is always very clean, hygienic, and I have never had any issues in that vein.This restaurant offers value (low cost, good food, always) in the same way Costco does. It is not showy, sort of like how Costco doesn't waste money on creating visual appeal. And in the same way, Nutana Cafe, like Costco, provides an insane amount of value for what you pay for.My 2 kids and I just walked in -30 to come eat breakfast here. And it was well worth it. It is a great breakfast, worth much more than the $8 we paid. We got here, were greeted with the same familiar faces, and because we were ordering breakfast, were given priority over the lunch orders (something you can't even pay for - ESPECIALLY at pricier restaurants).If you are the type of person that needs a visual experience in a restaurant: order for delivery- you'll love the food. If you are the type of person that focuses on only the raw truths of the restaurant, and its place in the greater context of our Nutana community, dine in.Coming to eat at this restaurant is like watching an episode of The Wonder Years. I will continue venturing here in -30ﾟwith my kids, hopefully until they move out. Thank you Nutana Cafe for being our family restaurant.

This is my absolute favorite place to grab food in the city. Plenty of options on the menu, a perfect chill ambience, a fantastic owner, and the greatest food in the largest quantities you could ask for, and on top of all that it's super affordable. All in all you probably couldn't find a better place to bring your friends for lunch

We dined at Nutana Cafe, we had breakfast, it was only $8.00, wow a great price. The owner was very pleasant and friendly. We had the breakfast which consisted of 3 sausage’s,2 eggs and real tasty potatoes, it was like real home cooked meal. We had toast and delicious coffee. I would recommend this cafe to people who like great tasting food and the prices are good. Will come back again.

Dropped in around 6pm on Sunday. It was our first visit. The food was quickly served and delicious. The wonton soup had big chunks of vegetables and shrimp, with very tasty broth. The spring rolls were bigger than expected, 5 per serving. The ginger beef was served sizzling hot. The server (owner?) was relaxed and friendly, and advised on the size of our order. He was spot on... we ate absolutely everything and were more than satiated.We didn't try much of the menu as it was just a quick bite, but now that I know where it is, it's on my to frequent" list. Very unpretentious

For the first time in 11 years of working on broadway I tried the special from Norms. I’ve always heard that the noodle bowls are great but the service is terrible...I will safely say that I enjoyed both. The noodle bowl was delicious and filling; the service was kind and courteous. I will not wait another 11 years to try again.

If you want absolutely deliciousness in a big bowl of food for a great price and excellent service then GO HERE! Hands down absolutely DELICIOUS. Also - it's not like it's a bunch of veggies either. It's stuffed full with everything you enjoy. P.s. try the spring rolls and Doug's special ❤️
