My favourite pho place in Calgary! I am a vegetarian and I am so happy that Pho Binh Minh has absolutely delicious options. My favourite is the vegetarian Bun Bo Hue, which is not available at most pho places as a vegetarian option. The broth for the Pho Chay is also spot on! There are some inconsistencies with the amount of toppings as there are sometimes a wide variety and a large amount and other times there are not as much, but I am just grateful for the delicious veggie broth. Also reasonably priced, good portion size, and short wait time.
An OG Pho place in the hood of 17th, it's a diamond in the rough but the pho is worth it. Service is mediocre, I come here when I am in the area!
My small pho would be a good size for a child. The meat was served pink. The portion of meat was a little scanty. Not too spicy, broth had a subtle spice to it that hit your throat. The clear broth had a slightly tart taste to it, flecked with drops of oil. I was informed by my friend Asian Persuasion that the noodles are homemade. I couldn’t detect the difference.
Yet another pho restaurant on 17 Ave SE. However, Binh Minh is one of the best selections here. I still love the pho at Pho Dau Bo, and the best bun bo hue is at Song Hong (all these restaurants are also on 17 Ave), but Binh Minh is also a front runner. Piping hot broth, lots of fresh veggies to go into your bowl and cheap prices.
Binh Minh is legit hood pho. Hood pho is the best pho. Pho sho.
Now in all seriousness, this is truly one of the best spots for pho in Calgary. Big portions, delicious broth. It's fast and the price is right.
They also have the regular alternatives like rolls and vermicelli but they have several other dishes as well like a delicious curry that comes with a fresh baguette.
Definitely try this place if you like the real stuff. Don't bring your snobby aunt, tho.
The food has always been excellent, service prompt (although there was this one time a waitress rudely took away my satay jar in the middle of a meal). Soup base for Bun Bo Hue has yet to disappoint. I particularly enjoy the piece of pork hog in every bowl, slightly crunchy and definitely a hit every single time.
It's a must go for quality food.
The service is quick and friendly, the tables and floor were clean, and the food is good. All the things that you would want in a pho restaurant. My brother and I, we both ordered a pho dac biet, and were quite satisfied with the noodles, the hot flavourful broth, and amount of meat it came with.
Bin Minh has been around for a long while and many of my friends enjoy this spot for authentic vietnamese food. My bf had the bun bo hue which he said was pretty good. I like the spring rolls come with lettuce. I usually wrap the lettuce around the spring roll. The pho sate wasn't spicy at all but the broth was flavourful and they give a generous amount of beef!
Favorite pho place. Best pho in calgary hands down! me and my husband are there every week.we just cant stay away!
Good Pho and Pork Chop. The place is nothing to look at (inside and out) but it has some of the best pork chop and Pho around. I go there quiet often with my boyfriend and with my co-workers. The spring rolls are very good and the main dishes are also very good. Don't expect much for service though, it's a typical Vietnamese style restaurant. Meaning you only see your servers when they get the sheet and when they bring your food (meaning there's only a limited amount of times to order). Definitely go there for the food. This restaurant is very popular.
