“it’s nearly impossible to miss the contrast between East and West, and past and present…SAOLA, which means “rare star”…offers traditional and modern Vietnamese cuisine, from street food to fine dining. Standout dishes include the pho and garlic noodles…perfect in every way.“

Salt Lake Tribune

“Fun and chic, Saola breaks the mountain mold …with artisanal-looking fabrics, shimmering gold screens, a sleek sushi bar and a light pink glow from the neon sign saying “Carpe diem” is refreshingly light-hearted compared to the usual log-and-stone mountain eatery.”

Salt Lake Magazine

“Smartly situated at the base of Big Cottonwood Canyon, Saola’s become a neighborhood lifesaver…with their Vietnamese street-food inspired selections. Locals in the know linger in the super-stylish cushy lounge with a refreshing cocktail and a flavorful starter…“

Cityhome Collective

“A starry night of sophistication, balance and refined flavors…delicious food that was beautifully comforting and refreshing…incredibly filling…Saola felt a bit more upscale…the pricing for all their meals was very reasonable given the quality and quantity of food provided”.

The Daily Utah Chronicle

“Tuan Vu again returned to his traditional Vietnamese roots as chef at Saola…With his wife, legendary SLC restaurateur Diem Nguyen, the team brings the bright and nuanced flavors of Vietnam’s three regions to the table using locally sourced, high-quality ingredients”
