a hot dog with mustard and bread

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

Beef Pho with marrow

Excellent food. All dishes tasted . I had the oxtail pho with beef bone marrow. Service was great, and food was fast.

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..

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.

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!

Excellent pho sate. It's in a pretty shitty neighborhood though, so they should immediately relocate to the south ;).

Traditional Lan Zhou Hand Pulled Noodle since 1915. Place your order via kiosk. Easy to navigate. The female employee helped us answer questions. Coincidentally, our order number was 888. I selected Hand Pulled Noodle in Beef Soup with flat and wide noodles. Female employee asked me if I would like chili oil on the side. Hard to resist. I'm happy I accepted the offer because the chili oil tasted very fresh and added some spice and depth to the soup. Absolutely comforting and satisfying with and without chili oil. Same employee was very kind, thoughtful and forward thinking to ask if I would like the Deep Fried Steamed Bun with condensed milk now or toward the end of my meal. I responded, "At the end of my meal, please." Pillowy soft on inside, heat hot in its entirety, with slight crunch on outside. Dessert complemented condensed milk. Highly recommend. Free parking. Worth visiting and returning.

The restaurant was pretty spacious and not very busy on a Saturday late afternoon. The place however was a little warm inside, maybe the AC wasn't working as they had some fans on. We ordered the vermicelli dish and pad Thai as the staff told us it was their most popular dish. The pad Thai was indeed one of our favorite. It had a unique smoky flavor to it. We also ordered the pho and eggplant dish. The pho had a surprisingly rich flavor. I would definitely recommend the pho.

Being a vegetarian, I have had a hard time getting pho that's flavorful but the chefs here have magic in their hands, they have put so much heart and effort in packing so much flavor in their broths! I had the Sate Tofu Noodle Soup, ah can't get the taste out of my head!! Such richness, the freshness of the house made tofu paired with soft rice noodles was just beyond perfection!! The Pad Thai was also delicious: it missed one thing: crushed peanuts which we usually get at Thai restaurants. The restaurant has a very calm and peaceful auto to it!!! Full of large plants and a meditation area, it's a nice getaway from the corporate hustle outside. The place closes at 8, so reach early.
