keo's kitchen

pretty good. my favourite is the dancing prawns! i'm never really disappointed when i eat here. however, once the ginger beef was burned to a crisp!

i like the food, but it had bigger portions and better prices before the move to broadway,

i don't remember it being this sweet. when i last came for supper roughly 4 years ago, i remembered the food tasting very good. but during a recent visit for lunch, my friends and i found that too many of the dishes tasted sweeter than normal.

in the case of their thai ginger beef, we let the excessive sweetness slide, as it almost worked in favor of the beef. that being said, the beef was borderline candy-beef. half of the table thought this was their favorite dish, while the other half (myself included) voted that this was the weakest. unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the pad thai (ours included shrimp). i don't like a sweet pad thai and the flavors just did not work for me.

personally, their masaman curry was a clear winner. firstly because it wasn't sweet (finally), but mostly due to the fact that the taste of peanuts envelops the senses upon consumption. i bid any peanut-lovers to try this particular dish. mixed with rice, i could eat this all day (but not every day - would get boring after a while). by the end of the meal, half of the group placed the masaman curry as their number one choice.

overall, i feel that this lunch was not very strong, and i'm likely to return in the future to make sure that this meal was an anomaly. also, coming at roughly $17 per person, it's more expensive than a typical lunch out.

delicious meal and more than i could eat. wonderful selections and seasoning was perfect. complimented my chicken and shrimp rouman (?) with a thai iced tea to temper the level of spice i requested. yum! last time i had the birds nest with the crispy noodles. give them a try. fresh and healthy!!

i ordered the curry noodle soup and loved how o could pick my protein and my spice level. the dish was delicious and packed the right level of heat! the staff were also really nice and my order came fairly quickly. i will definitely go back to try more dishes the next time i am in saskatoon again.

deceptive and rude! website, urbanspoon and even door sign said open to 10 pm sat night. got there at 9.05 pm and was told kitchen closes at 9. doors just stay open to 10. i said i would inform people via internet review and was told very rudely and sarcastically "have fun on the internet". will never recommend again and never return, too many good restaurants in saskatoon to put up with that, sorry jennifer.

meh. went to keo's on broadway last night and was slightly underwhelmed from the hype i've heard from friends. the food was decent enough, although it could have been presented in a way that gave you the illusion of getting more for your money. the service was very very poor. we had asked for some coffees from the one waitress working(i think our server was the male working... hard to tell since he didn't come around very often.) and never did receive the coffees in the 90 minutes that we were there. the food arrived shortly past the hour mark, and wasn't considerably hot all things considered. i think the kitchen was working one ticket at a time, even though i got a glimpse of possibly 5 people back there when i used the restroom.

would i be back? not very likely unless i heard they had hired new staff.

fantastic food, good service. my go to restaurant in saskatoon for amazing thai food, their curry's are always fantastic. but the real reason to eat here is the pad thai, i can't get enough of it because it's so good. sometimes it's a bit to moist for me but the flavour makes up for that.

very good food. we went for lunch at keos, the service was a little slow but friendly and the food was all excellent. will definitely be going back.

wow! i have been wanting to eat here for years but have never made it. well today i ordered pick up. i ordered the beef birds nest spicy (6)
i was greeted immediately at the door. my order was ready and waiting.
the food was delicious!! noodles were on top so they didn’t get soggy. beef was very tender.
i’ll be back very soon.

i loved the cute decor, the warm and welcoming ambience, and the friendly server that helped with some recommendations on our first visit. the food was very good, but we could definitely have gone with a level 3 of spiciness. we asked for something around medium heat and were recommended level 2, but we could barely taste the spiciness.

i will definitely return to try other options from their menu. and, i'll definitely remember to always make a reservation in advance because whenever we tried to walk in they're were very busy - which is a good sign, i guess!

i ordered the tom kha kai soup and the naam sot. the soup was a coconut based with chicken, green onions and fresh mushrooms with your choice of rice or noodles it had that classic thai funky flavour here. it was good but after i was half done was getting bored of it. the naam sot in fried pork with ginger, lime juice, cucumber, tomato, shallot and lemongrass. it was not what i was expecting but enjoyed it the lime and ginger were the dominant flavours here.

not worth wasting your time here…

i went here last night for my birthday with 14 guests. it took 2 hours to get our food. we watched as so many other tables around us arrived after us, got their food and finished before we got our food. when our food finally did come out, mine was lukewarm, a few orders were wrong and one was completely missed all together.

the manager was gone home at that point as it was past 9pm and they were going to close soon. one of the chefs from the back came out to talk to us and he was a complete train wreck! he was not sincere or helpful, he was so rude and yelled “you got your food you’re happy” “all i do is work in the back and smaller orders are easier”. 

they didn’t give us a discount or anything besides the meal that was forgotten and came out 20 minutes after our table got our food. i used to love coming here but after this fiasco it’s not worth ever going back.

i ordered the thai ginger beef today. the dish had a slight ginger flavour, and a combination of sweet (from the tamarind) and spicy kick to it. i normally don't like green peppers (except on pizza) but the mixture of bell peppers, onion, and carrots in this dish tasted great! the entire dish was delicious but the only downside was that the beef was too crispy (overcooked). but that still didn't stop me from eating the thai ginger beef because i'm always satisfied with the extremely savoury flavours that this restaurant provides.
i also had the super roll as an appetizer. the super roll is a spring roll wrapped inside a cold roll. the spring roll and the sauce made it flavourful but i'm never a fan of a roll loaded with noodles and lettuce; in this case, it was surrounding the spring roll. i love the main dishes at keo's but i don't like ordering the appetizers, not because the flavour but because of the pricing. the spring rolls are so small. 2 bites and you're done- (4) for $6. whereas the super roll is mainly loaded with noodles and lettuce (2) for $7. i can't justify spending my money on tiny rolls or for 2 rolls loaded with noodles. my pet peeve with how the rolls are served is that they give you a plate (for the sauce) that makes it impossible to dip your rolls in. being in the food industry for 20 years, here's a tip- give the customers a little saucer or bowl so they can dip the rolls into the sauce easier.

the good: the food, size of servings, the last five minutes of service.

the bad: very slow service even when there were only a few tables, very expensive to add meat to a dish (and most dishes were meatless).

overall: the food was good and we'd maybe order takeout but don't think we'll be dining it again. it got extremely busy later on and the service, even before this, suffered.
