Good service and a flavourful broth (I get the chicken pho) make this my favourite Vietnamese place in the NW. The chicken spring rolls are also great. They taste very fresh and chicken is a unique choice for spring rolls, which I appreciate.
Great food. The satay beef pho is the best in town, if you like peanuts, which I love. We drive there just for the satay beef. The green onion cake is really good. Staff are friendly compared to other Viet restaurants. Clean. Portion size is good. One of my favorites. Definitely recommend.
I don't know why the rating is so low. If order for you to get pho quality like this you would have to drive down to forest lawn to eat. It's not my top 5 for Calgary but it's close to it. The broth seems slightly better in the 17 ave Pho Hoan and that's my top 5 in the city. I don't rate for service but this place has better service for a viet place.
Btw just come down for pho and nothing else.
It's expected to receive less or simply mediocre service at pho restaurants. However this was not the case! Staff was very friendly and checked our table consistently to make sure everything was okay. I do not have knowledge of authentic, home made pho. But to me, this was great! The broth had a great flavour (most important!) and they were generous with the meat. The restaurant is quite large and pretty nice and clean. Great stop for a cheap, hot bowl of noodles in the NW!
My wife and I love this place. My favourite is the seafood noodle soup with the sate beef broth (you have to ask for it since it's not on the menu). Their sate broth has a perfect balance of peanut, depth of flavour, and heat. Love it.
Service is great. Place is big and clean. Bathroom are nice. Can't complain.
Came here on a Friday evening and was surprised to find it quite busy inside, especially since it was Canada day. I had ordered #15 on the menu, which was pho that consisted with all the meats they had on the menu and my boyfriend ordered the bun bo hue. I was surprised with how much meat was in my bowl and how large the "large" size was. There were three sizes. Extra large was way more than enough, based on our neighbouring table. The bun no hue was nice and very spicy but not excessively. The soup broth of the pho was delicious and I was surprised with how much meat I was given in my bowl! All in all, this is a delicious and in expensive place to go for a large bowl of pho! Would definitely go again in the near future!
I ordered take out, so I don't know how is the service in the restaurant, but from what I can see from the server that helped us, the staff seems very friendly, and the environment of the restaurant is really nice (very spacious but with a mom&pop kind of feel). The food was delicious, and they serve a lot of meat in the pho. I will definitely go back and have a meal at the restaurant (will update as soon as I get a chance to go there again).
So after reading the reviews for their pho saté, we decided to give this place a try for Sunday brunch. They were not busy and the place is huge and clean.
Ordered their pho saté in a small and it did not disappoint! It's the right creaminess and good amount of peanut in the broth. It came with three maybe four pieces of beef but large slices. I still prefer pho saté in the hood, but I am so happy that I don't have to drive all the way south anymore. I can say that it's the best pho saté I've tried in the NW. Will definitely go again!
Recommended by a Veitnamese friend.First visit left a good impression that I would return. There is a varied menu besides the usual appetizer rolls, pho, bun and the rice platters. We tried the HUGE green onion cake (surprise) which was very good. I tried the house special pho. It came in one size. The broth was good. Pho sides included a small serving of bean sprouts, Thai basil sprig and a lime wedge. Server was friendly and efficient, but communication seemed a challenge.
Would love to try the other dishes next time!
a nice vietnamese restaurant in the NW up in royal oak. It is located near egg oasis the newer development to the right of Wal Mart. I haven't been able to find any good quality pho places in the nw till recently. Pho Vanh and this place are on the list.
I usually order the Sate Chicken, BBH and the chicken wings here are delicious.
The sate is semi peanuty and have amazing flavour with the right amount of kick.
I prefer the chicken over the beef because i find the chicken more tender. Sometimes i find the beef chewy.
I rarely order wings at a Viet restaurant, but my cousin raved about how good they are and they ARE. They are simply fried and seasoned, and its always sizzling when they bring it out.
