The pho noodle soup was so good! The soup was almost a little sweet from the meat flavor, it was perfect for the cold weather. The taro cake was pretty good too. The satay soup was also very tasty, but just be prepared that it's spicy. Bun Bo hue was also a decent soup base. The service was decently quick considering that it was a full house. The place was also pretty clean. read more

I absolutely love this place! My friend and I decided to check it out on a whim because we wanted some Vietnamese food. We ordered satay phở and honestly, it's the best satay phở I've had. I was shook in the most positive way. We got the bone marrow which was delicious, and the beef carpaccio. I was really excited for the latter, but it was overpowered by vinegar, which was unexpected for me. I couldn't eat it at all - due to my own preference, I don't like vinegar. I expected it to be more limey (it's in the name of the dish - chanh)! We got the coffee slush and Hanoi egg coffee which were both amazing. AMAZING. I'm still thinking of them as I'm typing. Highly recommend! The staff were friendly and the restaurant was small but busy and cozy. Our craving was more than satiated - we wanted more long after we left. read more

I am not kidding when I say this is the best sub place I have come across in all my years and with such sweet people it makes it such an amazing small business I would come for generations, would give 10 stars if I could. the subs were some of the best things I could go on and on read more

This place has probably the best pho sate soup base (15$) I've had at restaurants. The dish would have been better if they gave a few more slices of beef. The soup to noodle and beef proportion was a little off. We also order their appetizer: bone marrow (8.5$) and bun bo hue. The bone marrow was rich in flavour and came with a few slices of baguettes. The bun bo hue was not spicy and a little blend in flavour. This venue is located in a plaza with free parking. read more

Came here on vacation looking for a pho place and found this place. Spacious. Family friendly. Generous portions. Decent price point. Would come back and try other things on their menu! Their price point comes to about $8-15. Ordered the pho special. Soup base was flavourful. Noodle go soup ratio was accurate! Yum! read more

I've only been to a couple Vietnamese restaurants in Calgary but am slowly working my way through a few of them. I stumbled upon an Insta picture of one of Pho Dau Bo's pho bowls and I was instantly intrigued. They're located in the same plaza as Noodle World and Bun Bo Hue Deli. I went on a late Saturday afternoon for lunch and the place was busy. The servers here are all very friendly and bring you hot tea when you sit down. The menu is standard but I had eyes only for their pho. Note: you can only use credit card if your meal is over $20.00 (otherwise it's cash/debit). - Pho sate ga hoac bo (A) ($12.00) - the broth was unbelievably flavourful; creamy, rich, sweet, spicy, aromatic, complex and full of depth. I could have swam in this bowl. The beef was perfectly sliced and stayed tender till the very last bite. I'd come back in a heartbeat. Those green bowls are legit. read more

Had a craving for pho after a long few days of playing in the woods in the National Park. The restaurant was pretty busy around 3pm so it was a great sign that it was going to be yummy. Overall, great service, clean restaurant and good food. read more

The best sate pho in Calgary! I always come here if I'm craving sate pho even though it's out of the way, I also love their curry chicken with baguette and my husband loves their beef stew on rice. Highly recommend this place if you want sate pho it's not the super peanuty creamy broth like golden bell and not just a plain broth with added chilli in there. You just need to try it for yourself :) read more

Tasty veggie pho and shrimp vermicelli. Staff was friendly. Get there before 11:45 on weekends to avoid the lines.

Love the satay beef pho mmmmm I dream about it lol so delicious service is good and lots of seating i the dining area , lots of options on the menu read more

Last time we were there the pho was so good, we went again this time and they seem to have gotten even cheaper. 18$ for a bowl of pho, they bring you hoisin in a tiny little to go container, the meat was so dry, and the broth was bland as well. When you order two bowl of pho they only bring you enough bean sprouts for one person and they aren't fresh they are floppy. I don't understand the hype of this place, it's not good at all. read more

The soup broth is so good, u can tell tht they spend long hours to make the soup broth.. the vietnamiese spring roll is just ok,, not really amazing.. But yeah all dishes we tried here are great: chicken curry, spicy beef soup, and pho.. by the way they charge $1 for tea and 0.50 for additional limes.. i am not sure if you need to charge us for this price where anywhere else dont charge any for these (thts the only downside), because of this i will give only 4 stars.. read more

A friend and I stopped in here after I kept seeing all the delicious looking pho and bone marrow pictures they were posting on instagram. It did not disappoint. I had the spicy sate beef noodle soup and an appetizer of bone marrow. Lots of marrow on the bone and for a great price compared to other restaurants in Calgary. There are so many amazing pho places around the city but this has to be in the top 3 easily. I'll be making the trip to forest lawn specifically to try more things on the menu in the near future. read more

Did takeout today. Had deep fried beef and taro spring rolls excellent. Beef stew on noodles was good. As far as lunch goes good.

We ordered through SkipTheDishes and the food was cold. It was just tossed in the container! I have eaten in the restaurant and it was a wonderful experience. So very disappointed read more

best satay. small portions but it's worth it. Servers are really nice and good costumer service

Several of us went to check this place out. We sat down at a booth near the door. The place was basically empty except for two other tables. Roughly 10-15 minutes later, a server came with water and menus. That is as much service as we received. After another 20 minutes had passed, I went to the cash register, waited another 5 minutes at which time a man appears and asks which table. I pointed at our table, and said we would like to order please. He said wait and walked away. Came back 2-3 minutes later and said someone will be with you. I sat down. Another 20 minutes goes by we decided to leave. Never going back. read more

If you want vermicelli then go to any restaurant that has it. They all taste the same to me. But pho...you can't mess that up because it makes or breaks you. There's only a handful of pho restaurants in Calgary that impresses me and this is one of them. First off, yeah this place is in the ghetto but the best Pho in town are in the ghetto. This isn't your typical ghetto pho restaurant though. The place is clean and modern which is a bonus but I'm here for food and I could care less if they have nice lighting fixtures. Still though, it's nice to go to a clean and modern place. 1 star for that. I recommend their Pho Satay but you can't go wrong with any pho. The soup is hot (I hate warm soup where it doesn't cook the raw beef) and the vegetables are fresh. The spring rolls here are great too so don't pass that up. 2 stars for good food. The service is your typical - here's your food, see you when you're done type of service. That's fine by me. I'm at a pho restaurant. Bring me my food without your finger in my soup and I'm fine. 1 star. Would I come back? hell yeah!!!..1 star... Total 5 stars! read more

I pity the 'pho who hasn't yet eaten at Pho Dau Bo. Don't let the fact that it's in Forest Lawn keep you away. Mr. T wouldn't. Just keep it to daylight hours. Fast and friendly service and quality food, this spot is a palate pleaser for sure. With a simple and modern interior and plenty of seating, you can be assured of a lovely lunch and still be back at your desk well within your lunch hour. read more

Great place to stop by and enjoy a bowl of Pho! The ambience is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner with friends or family. I usually get the pho ga (chicken noodle soup) and it was delicious as it could be. The portion was perfect for the price point and wow this place is clean! The customer service is great and I truly would recommend this place to everyone! read more

Man, their sate is spicy! There's a reason their bowls and places are red! It's really really addicting though. I stopped and realized, I'm just drinking spoons of chilli, peanut sauce and water... Maybe there a bit more secret stuff in there too. Definitely worth trying out. With a cup of well made Vietnamese ice-coffee, or lemonade, you'll fall in love with this place in no time. Cozy, familyplace comparing to the modern looking Basil Ultimate Pho from the other day. (What's wrong with Calgary's restaurants and music?) I'll definitely come back after their renovation to try out some of their non-spicy dishes. read more

I don't know how anyone could give this less than full marks (other than the obvious answer of just clicking on another value) because this place truly is as good as it gets. The Pho Sate soup is great, a nice big bowl of spicy soup can easily be ruined in several ways, as I've experienced at other "Pho" restaurants trying to change things up by adding things to it... These guys add one simple secret ingredient that makes it stand out from all the others, without bringing everything crashing down. The Pho isn't the only reason to come, as they also have the usual Viet fare, some of which I've tried, and quite enjoyed, but honestly, I go every week, and get the exact same order every time... Large beef Pho Sate, salad rolls with shrimp, and Iced Viet coffee with milk... Sometimes I'll add extra beef to the soup, but other than that, it's always the same, and they know me for it. read more

I was recommended to go to Pho Dau Bo and try the popular satay beef soup. That is exactly what I ordered and I was a little disappointed. I prefer satay soup that is a bit creamier and spicy. The flavour was enjoyable but this bowl was not my satay beef preference. The restaurant is open and clean and the server was very friendly! If I'm in the area, I will definitely go back and try another dish. read more

The best pho place in town. Always order there pho sate oxtail. The broth is so rich and has so flavour. It is a little bit pricier for where it at in the area. But whatever I'm willing to pay even if it was pricer as long as it delicious and food always taste the same I'm willing to pay. Don't want to pay for cheap food and it doesn't satisfy your cravings. I Minus a star because staffs don't always look nice and friendly but it is a hit & miss. read more

Pho Dau Bo is probably my favorite spot for Pho /Vietnamese food. I remember coming here since I was a little girl, about 3-4 years old with my family and til now (20 years later) I'm still going here. Sarah treats us well, almost like family. My boyfriend and I come to Pho Dau Bo almost every week. The quality of the broth is so flavorful and not watered down like some Vietnamese restaurants I've experienced. Their cha gio (spring rolls) and goi cuon (salad rolls) are a good size! I highly recommend trying this place out cause I'm sure it'll become one your favorites as well! I recommend trying the sate broth! It's what they're known for. :) read more

One of my favourite places to grab pho, ever. I've been coming for a few years now, and they make an amazing satay pho! I just tried their regular pho broth yesterday and it was excellent as well.

Come here if you want an excellent, piping hot bowl of pho! read more
