No :-( Remi's review (Jul 16th 2006)

Exactly how and why we ended up at Northern Quest Casino might better be left unsaid, but there we were and so was Fai’s Noodle House. A casino pho house that actually looked half-way authentic was an unexpected turn of events, and thus it had to be investigated. Long story short: next time I’ll go with the buffet.

Much as I respect anybody who can make a great pho, I also think that it’s equally difficult to completely screw one up. Yet that was exactly what the otherwise nice people at Fai’s managed to do. I would have suspected the overly salty soup to be one of those “just add water and microwave” deals had I not seen the chef make it right in front of me.

Added to the pho were large pieces of duck which did little to enhance the overall flavor. I can certainly live with overcooked meat in a soup, but when it adds nothing to the experience, then it is superfluous to me. The noodles were, if nothing else, fairly standard.

I guess I shouldn’t expect much from any casino restaurant, but Fai’s just left me with a supremely bad taste in my mouth. Driving two blocks down to the Taco Bell almost seems like the better option if you’re after some “exotic” dining in Airway Heights.

Yes :-) marilu's review (Oct 13th 2006)

We have dined at Fai’s many times and they have the best almond chicken ever. They use tender white meat with a light breading and a great sauce not like the hard nuggets you get at other places. I have had the duck soup also and I did not find it overly salted and the duck was quite tender. The staff there is great and so is the tea they use. The buffet is also good :}

This place has the best food you will ever have I personally love there almond chicken and sweet and sour chicken. If you have not been here it is a must.
