I’ve been coming here for 25 years and it’s still a classic. It’s a simple place, doesn’t try to be anything but a soup kitchen. I love it. Today I took my kid to try one of the OG pho places in Edmonton. She loved it too. You be you, Tau Bay
Been coming here for a decade, always great pho! The best place for me!
The best pho spot ever!!! Like it’s a must when you’re in Edmonton. The employees are super nice & the pho is made quickly and hot when served!!
The last time we ate here was just before covid. We always order the large chicken pho soup. The portions are large and there are lots of noodles and chicken and the soup broth is very tasty. Hot chilli oil is served on the side and never at the table. The only condiment at the table is a bottle of soy sauce.This restaurant accepts cash or etransfer only as methods of payment.
Best pho restaurant in Edmonton. This place isn't always open so make sure to check their social media and their website.
Best Pho in the city, wait staff are super attentive and the iced coffee is so good. Will be back!!!
This is the Pho place you should not miss. We frequent Pho restaurants wherever we go. This is definitely one worthy visit. Located near the Edmonton Chinatown area. Like a family run restaurant with quality Pho, the broth is hot (temperature) and tasty. Good quality beef and assorted stuffs. Basil, bean sprouts and lime are fresh. Do order (request) some of their hot chilli oil. It is super tasty and not too spicy. Just a nicely done chilli oil. Must try too. Really enjoyed their Pho here Highly recommended! Must try around here.
Been coming here for 20 years. It's my "go-to" Pho restaurant. Everywhere else is laced with MSG to the point you can feel it coat your throat and gives a weird aftertaste. The soup here is by far the most balanced with a more "spiced" flavor, which I prefer, compared to others (spices as in cinnamon/star-anise/etc. typical of pho.) They offer "satay" (chili oil) in house and it's a good change once in a while. That's all that really needs to be said.
