The weather cools down, winter is just around the corner.

The perfect season for a warm bowl of noodle soup.

Our Beef Pho is made with beef bones and brisket,
slowly simmered for over 9 hours to create a deep and rich broth,
finished with aromatic spices for an authentic flavour.

A special winter menu, now available at CIGOL.
Enjoy it for $29.50, available until the broth is sold out.

Hello,
This is Ryan, Owner and Chef of Cigol Restaurant.

Throughout 2025, I would like to sincerely thank our local community for dining with us and for the continued warmth and support you have shown. As the owner and chef, I am truly grateful.

The past year and a half has not been an easy journey, both personally and professionally. Balancing surgery, recovery, and the day-to-day operation of the restaurant brought many challenging moments.

Even so, during the toughest times, the kind words and encouragement from our local guests stayed with me — and remain deeply in my heart and memory. It is because of that support that I was able to keep moving forward.

This Christmas and into the New Year, I sincerely wish you a warm and abundant season, shared with the people you love most.

Thank you always.
I look forward to continuing to serve you with care and sincerity.

Warm regards,
Ryan
