My favorite pho place in Calgary. I always get the beef stew and the beef is always perfectly cooked and tender. Definitely recommend giving this place a try!
This is probably my most recent favourite Vietnamese restaurant but unfortunately, is quite a task for me to get to.
They’re located on the main floor of an old apartment building. During non-peak hours you can readily find parking out front. The restaurant isn’t very big but the handful of times I’ve been here, there’s always a lot of tables left unclean. I think I’ve only ever noticed one server though.
The food is excellent. I especially love their egg pancake. So crisp and yummy! The bun bo hue is pretty good as well. Not overly spicy. The ox tail soup is extremely flavourful. Tastes like they’ve spent at least a day stewing it!
This is my favorite restaurant for pho and I have gone to many. The quality is consistent and the flavour of the broth is amazing! I always get the #19 and I go at least once a week!
I love that they are open at 10am because I love having pho for breakfast. I like that they have fish sauce right on the table (just straight fish sauce, not the one mixed with sugar water and lime served with spring rolls and vermicelli bowls). This place is becoming one of my top Viet places.
Atmosphere/service: small dining area, but not dirty
looking like some Viet places.
Price: A couple dollars more expensive than some other places, but it might be on par with other pho in the neighborhood. ($12.50-$14.00 pho in 2017)
Review of two dishes:
Beef ball pho with sate:
Good! Good sate oil, LOTS of beef balls. About double the amount of beef balls I get with the same dish at my favourite pho place, Pho Huong Viet, but it is a few dollars more so I guess it's the same thing. Pho comes out quickly.
#10 (Pho with assorted meat):
light aromatic broth that I enjoyed very much. Noodles came out perfectly al dente.
Good brisket good flank! Good soup! Fresh bean sprouts and basil, freshly made spring rolls were quite tasty. Clean restaurant! Service is ok, too. In my top 3 list now for choice of pho hehehe.

Very good! The restaurant is very nice inside and the service was very good. The soup was very good! Very fresh and delicious. The soup was huge and was also very well priced. Highly recommend this place.
One of the better Phos in macloud trail. Possibly top 10 in Calgary. Broth is different through out the day. Make sure you catch the better end of the pot. 11am tastes pretty good but I do taste some msg.
Excellent food here. One of the only places that serves egg pancake as well (classic Vietnamese breakfast food) fluffy, savoury, spongy Mmm. Not to be confused with seafood pancake (ban xiao). Just about everything is good here and I enjoy that they carry traditional stews as well.
Really awesome Pho on Macleod trail. I like that they give you jalapeños in addition to the regular bean sprouts/basil. Service was good. Lots of meat in the Pho dac biet which was great! The bun bo hue was just ok. I'd recommend sticking to the Pho
This is one of the best restaurants for pho that I have found in Calgary to date. I've tried eight so far. A nice looking place, efficient staff (if not particularly friendly), the pho was good. I had the rare beef and tendon. I'll keep looking for other good prospects, but I look forward to going back to this one.
I've tried many styles of Vietnamese foods and this place hits the right spot.
The flavours are all there and the price is very affordable.
One thing to mention is that upon waking towards the front door, you can smell the amazing fragrance of their grilled meats.
New Vietnamese restaurant in Mahogany. Tried it today. Small setting, very clean, and environmental friendly. Would definitely go back again! The beef steak with rice and egg.. sooooo good! And so cheap too! Friendly staff.
Taro Bubble tea was too sweet but it’s all good, it’s not a bubble tea place so can’t be picky.
Chicken wings were so yummy but they’re small and only comes in 6 pieces, not sure it’s worth the price.
I love it tho! Can’t wait to go back
The Bun Bo Hue here is great, and so is the Vietnamese egg pancake! Highly recommend trying them out.
Good food and service. Many places food go up the prices and quality wasn’t good but here better food and prices wasn’t expensive. Will be back
Finally found our Vietnamese restaurant for Calgary. We visit our kids regularly and love the variety of ethnic restaurant available but never quite found our "go to" restaurant for Vietnamese food until now. We all had bun dishes and simply put were perfect for us. Add the friendly service and ambiance that made for a great dining experience. We loved it and recommend giving it a try as we're pretty sure you will to.
I love this place
Clear and flavourful broth
Good quality meat
Noodles to broth ratio is perfect
Opens at 10am
So this is a two fold review. My mother and her friend went for lunch today. It was mother's first experience having Vietnamese and she was so impressed with the restaurant the cleanliness and service was top notch! The food was fabulous as well.
But to end this already great experience for them was that some kind young gentlemen paid for their lunches!
Who ever you gentlemen are you get an "Atta boy!"
The best phó place in Calgary hands down. And it’s not only soups that are fantastic, the produce they use is always fresh and it shows! The server Mai is also so lovely. She has great attention to detail and is always such a ray of sunshine 😊
