Always an extremely satisfying meal. This is my second time here, this time with my Mom. We each had pho, mine with beef and hers with seafood. We each got a large which was way too much for either of us to finish. I wonder how big the XL is and who can actually finish it? Both of us loved our soup and we really appreciated the variety of condiments at our table. I had a mint chocolate bubble tea, and she had a coconut milkshake. Both delicious, but best as a dessert. The green tea that's brought when you sit down is perfect - no bitterness at all. The flavours of the soup meld wonderfully together. The fresh thai basil and bean sprouts are another wonderful touch. You definitely get more value than you'd expect for the $9 and change before tax each of our bowls cost. We left there full and very satisfied. The staff was also super friendly and efficient. Excellent meal. Excellent Price. Excellent Atmosphere.
Stopped by on a road trip. Great place for a quick bite.
Pro

- service is excellent.
Con
- I can't really think of any!
I was travelling in Vietnam for 2 months in May and June and this is the best pho I have had since being back home in Canada. So happy to live close by!
It's pretty good pho - though I'd like something with a deeper fuller broth - this one is a bit light. While it's not the best I've ever had - I think it's pretty darn good - and awesome quick take out too - good in the restaurant and to take out!
Really good Pho, I got addicted in Vancouver when visiting the Tai Pho is to die for,, and the spring rolls are fresh and, delish' I want to go, get some...right now...
Yum. I love this place. It was my choice for Mother's Day this year. It's so nice to find somewhere that serves good food without having to pile on fries to fill up an otherwise dull plate. The fresh spring rolls are delicious and the bowl of pho is tasty and serving size makes it a really economical meal. You would normally pay same or more for an appetizer size serving elsewhere. I haven't tried the sandwich menu but I am told they are equally well done. I have yet to experience the service issues some have commented on. The service is simple and efficient but I personally find over eager wait staff to be intrusive so this suits me fine. I will def. keep coming back
Consistently delicious. I've been a regular customer at this restaurant for years and not once have I been disappointed. I recently invited a friend of mine to try Vietnamese food for the first time. He was a little leery but then blown away by how delicious and wholesome the food was at this great eatery. I'm obviously not alone in thinking so since you will always find the place very busy.
guess where I'm going tonight? :)
This place is comfort food central. there is nothing like a bowl of pho with rare beef, a cup of hot jasmine tea and a lot of spice. it gets me through the dark winter and hot summer. love it.
Pho Dau Bo is great!! Good food fast and cheap...Don't be fooled with the other reviews about their service, this type of style of service for pho restaurants are typical in Toronto you basically eat and get out, fast and simple is what they want. Your there for great food not the service. You want service go to your typical high end restaurants. This is a vietnamese diner. Great stuff.
Fresh ingredients and friendly helpful service makes this a great place to eat. Try the platter with the rice paper to make your own salad rolls.
Recently added a vegetarian pho which is usually really good. Service can be hit or miss. It is getting better with an English fluent waitress. There could been some improvement on a tables food being served at the same time and no with 20 minutes between phos and other guests entrees.
It is the one of my favourite restaurant in town. Like always, the food is great great, the spicy sause is awesome. However, the waitress is absolutely the worst in town, at least i thought so. They are rude, and talk about the customers all the time. I always leave 15% tips, but the tips are only for the food and the chef. Never for the service. Over all, definitely worth to try the food, by the way the price is reasonable.
Pho Dau Bo!. Authentic dishes and generous servings in a place with very few Asian restaurants
You'll be a Regular. For over the 5 years I've been a regular, I've never had a problem. REALLY great prices for delicious and FILLING meals. There's quite a large variety making it easy to find a favourite. If you want a meal guaranteed to satisfy, try one of their pho soups. They're open real late for when my family gets cravings. The only downside is the service, not friendly but their great food is hard to beat.
Like not Love. It's like this with Pho Dau Bo: So far I really like their soups. I've had Wonton and pho-something, but generally I like to order Bun, and ...I HATE their noodles. They are not like any kind of vermicelli I have ever had. They are the size of spaghetti noodles. Not cool.
The wine list is surprisingly awesome. They serve very good local wines by the glass (Ravine and Lailey) for cheaper than you can get them at the winery!?
The service was kind of strange last time. The server was handing me things to stock in the caddies on the table, when her path was clearly unobstructed. Just something as a server I would never, ever do. And she tried to wipe off sticky spots on the "clean" table with a dry paper napkin until I was like, "Um, that won't work." Whatevs. We will be back.
I love pho and i have tried pretty much every vietnamiesse reasturant...pho dau bo has the best for both taste and value...altho the service is a quite impersonal some might prefer this but even with that in mind you can find me there 2-3 times a week
Awesome Pho, great friendly service and the price is crazy affordable for what you get.
Best Vietnamese in the Region. Pho Dau Bo is the best Vietnamese restaurant in the region hands down. I'm not crazy about the not-so-local, however small chain but the food is just too good to deny. I love Mai Vi and the Second Bowl in NF isn't too bad but the Pho at Pho Dau Bo is just better. The fresh spring rolls are delicious and come with 2 dipping sauces (which I love cause I add Siracha to mine). The Pho (I get the rare beef and beef balls) is far superior in taste to the aforementioned establishments, the amount of broth is more, there are many more beef balls and the best is that the beef is much less fatty for some reason (every time!). They give you free Jasmine tea to start so for 2 people with apps, it's under $20!!!! If you haven't been here, go. That's it, just go!
Cheap and delicious! Mmmm spring rolls.
If you have a taste for good and freshly made vietnamese food this is the place to be..i recommend people who hasn't tried or who wants to try new foods!
Love it!. If you have never eaten here, it is well worth a try! I order the noodle soup (pho) with rare beef and the beef is so thinly cut it cooks in the broth. You are given bean sprouts, herbs, lime, and an assortment of sauces to go into the soup. Once you have doctored it up it is so yummy!
The spring rolls are to die for....best spring rolls in town!
The price is right, very cheap meal and very filling!
Great Cheap Dinner. Pho Dau Bo is a great chain. Of course the noodle soups are outstanding, but so are some of the other kitchen dishes. So happy to see Pho Dau Bo in St. Catherines!
Spot on. My friend and I would travel to Toronto in the days before Vietnamese food came to Niagara. Just for Pho. So imagine how happy I was when Pho Dau Bo opened here. I'd had some Pho at other places that had opened here, but Pho Dau Bo gets it spot on. Their Pho is perfect, and the selection of condiments is exactly what I'd expect to get in Toronto.
For less than $12, two people can eat until full. Appetizers are equally inexpensive, and there is ample seating for a large group.
Great food. Authentic Vietnamese Food. Lots of parking. Spacious inside. Staff are nice. Serving is big. A little bit pricey but it's ok. Our family love to eat here. Spring roll is so crunchy. The pho is tasty. Would like to visit here again.
I love this restaurant for the amazing Pho and the Deep fried egg rolls are outstanding. It is my sons favourite spot to go to so he can slurp the noodles. The staff are very friendly and attentive, the food is always consistent.
Went here for dinner
Great quality of foods and service
Pho was served quickly so that I didn’t have to wait for a long time 👍
Good place to visit for a nice and warm dinner.
I have visited this restaurant several times with different friends. I like their durian milk shake, so fresh, feels like eating fresh durian. Pho is ok just like other Vietnamese restaurants, no big difference. I just don't like the lady's attitude. Once we paid our bill, she said "next" immediately without saying "have a nice day" or "thank you". We wouldn't stay long time in front of your counter. Lady, give your customer sometime to take the receipt!
It is much expensive than before..and it is tastes different.i thought we will have the better choice at the same price.
Nice spring rolls
Mediocre pho
Very polite, clean and friendly environment.
The food was fantastic and we'll portioned.
Great value and tasty dishes.
