    The cheapest pho in Edmonton and one of the tastiest too. Order & pay at the front, grab a seat and they'll bring it out to you. Under $10 a meal is really difficult to find these days, so we really appreciate the pricing here. A very limited menu with a couple appetizers, a few pho options, one vermicelli option and no rice dishes. The most expensive thing on the menu is the vermicelli for just under $12. Cash or debit only.

    I drive by here so often but never thought of eating here untill recently. It's hard to find decent pricing for a bowl of Pho in Edmonton these days, and guess what, a bowl of Pho here was under $10! We ordered 2 bowls of Pho Du Special Noodles ($9.95) and one order of the Taste Everything Vermicelli Bowl ($11.85) and all that food for under $34 including gst. The size of the bowl wasn't large or small, rather medium size in my opinion and it had the right amount of food. I didn't leave still feeling hungry but also didn't leave feeling very full (food coma style...lol). Definitely worth a try if you love Pho and on a budget!

    Small place small porton. Pho broth was very flavourful. Toppings are fresh but I find the noodles were a bit hard. Price is definitely cheap so not going to complaint. There is no service as you just order at the counter and find your own seat.

    As a long time dweller of 127th street and a Vietnamese food fanatic, Pho Du is my go-to place for vermicelli. The inside is extremely clean, modern, and lets in a ton of natural light. The owner and the woman that's always at the front are extremely friendly and eager to please. And, well, the food....it's fantastic. Everything tastes flavorful and fresh! Meat and springrolls aren't charred to death like a lot of other places. When Pho Du first opened I immediately became a regular and the owner would often sit with me and ask me what I found good and bad about his establishment and what I would change and leave the same. I was extremely flattered that he was genuinely interested in what I had to say and that he even bothered to asked me at all! I was further impressed that he actually took some of my suggestions! It's really great to know that some restaurants value customer opinions and put their needs first. I have been to dozens of Vietnamese Food restaurants (I love them so!) and Pho Du is definitely #1 on my list!

    I really like how this place is set up. You walk in, order your meal, get your beverage, and sit. They will bring the food to you. It is quiet and relaxed place to enjoy your pho. The food is amazing. Good portion sizes. And appetizer is good for two people, with the pho, you will definitely not be leaving hungry. They were out of the salad rolls when we were there, but we were able to get the shrimp spring rolls with pork and they were delicious.

    Went here after a jiu jitsu tournament with some friends from the gym. We were starving after a long day of competition. The place is clean and nicely decorated in a contemporary fashion. Pho Du has cafeteria style ordering with a very small menu displaying a handful of different options for pho, vermicelli bowls and appetizers. The prices were average and the service was friendly and smiley :) My soup came out in a smaller portion to what I'm used to, but had good portions of perfectly cooked noodles, rare beef, chewy tripe and a piece of savory tendon. I asked for chili oil to be added to make the broth spicy and it came out perfectly. I ate the whole thing! As an appetizer, I ordered shrimp spring rolls. I didn't really like the sweet chili sauce they came out with, but the rolls themselves were very nice. No vietnamese coffee :(

    The need to try their Pho Sate brought me back to Pho Du. The place is still pretty new, extremely clean and well maintained; possibly the cleanest Pho restaurant I have seen in town. Ordering was easy, #2 Pho Sate for $10. The place was empty, it was a little after the lunch hour but I was somewhat surprised how empty the place was. The staffs were really friendly and the pho came very quickly (perhaps because I was the only one in the restaurant). When the pho arrived, I could truly smell the heavenly aroma of Pho Sate, it smelled like they have the right blend of chili and herbs in the broth. The broth was fiery red with loads of green herbs floating in it, it looks good and smelled great. The first sip brought tears to my eyes... it was good and spicy!!! I was somewhat expecting a toned down, Canadianized version of Pho Sate. Not so, definitely not for anyone who does not like spicy food. I love my food spicy and this is right in the sweet spot for me in terms of heat level; for many, this dish would be too spicy - order it at your own risk. Condiment wise, not all of the usual suspects were there: basil, lime, fresh chili... but no sprouts; highly unusual for a pho restaurant to not offer sprouts. Portion wise, there were 4 slices of raw beef on top of a small handful of noodles. I think I can easily eat two bowls for lunch so I would suggest that the portion is inadequate for $10. So what is the verdict? Place is awesomely clean, the service was friendly and fast, the broth is good... really good, the portion was small, no sprouts & limes... I really have mixed feelings about this place so I can only give them a 3 stars rating.

This is one of my favourite vietnamese places for soup and appetizers. The rice and vermicelli dishes are mediocre in comparison so make sure to order what they specialize in. If I come with a big group I like to order as many appetizers as possible as it's similar to vietnamese street foods like crepes, tapioca dumplings and deep fried goodies. All of it is authentic and delicious. My must orders here are the duck salad and soup combo. It's what I come here for as no other place in edmonton has it on the menu that I know of. And it's pretty darn delicious. If I don't get that. The bun bo hue is loaded with so many meats that I never can finish it! I can't wait to go back to this locally owned business run by a family. Although service is not the greatest. They do provide whatever you need if you ask for it. They definitely won't bother you when you visit here. As most people just eat quick and leave. It's not one of those places you sit and chat and have drinks at. But for what they offer. It's affordable fast convenient and authentic. One of the best in edmonton!

Little has changed on the interior, except for the addition of a large fish tank. The menu is very typical of Vietnamese noodle houses, featuring a good selection of pho noodle soup, vermicelli noodle bowls, and rice dishes. I opted for a bowl of pho with medium sliced beef and brisket. My soup was full of meat which was reasonably tender and lean, and came in a broth that was well-seasoned. Colleen, my co-Volunteer Coordinator, ordered a bowl of Thai spicy pho, and she ordered it without any meat. She was happy with the flavour of her soup and its abundance of noodles. I started with a green onion cake, finding the two large rings of fried dough and green onions to be large and not too greasy, as well as a bit cheaper than I've had elsewhere. I also decided to do something I rarely do when I order pho - even though I find the complimentary green tea and broth from the soup to be more than enough liquid intake for one meal, I decided to try one of the iced drinks. Being a dreary winter day I felt some extra vitamin C was in order, and opted for a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice. It was incredibly fresh and full of pulp - I literally felt like I was drinking an orange in liquid form. Prices are in line, if not lower, than other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. Our entire meal, which also included a can of pop for Colleen, cost less than $25 before the tip. Service was fast and friendly and neither of us had any complaints about the food. Winter is the perfect time for a steaming bowl of pho, so consider heading to Viet Huong.

    We are incredibly spoiled by the amount of amazing Vietnamese food that we have here in Edmonton. I…read moredoubt that the Vietnamese population is greater here compared to in other cities but the culinary deliciousness and pure celebration of the cuisine that comes out of this community is second to none. Certainly a point of pride in our city! From the best phở in the country (King Noodle), near-perfect bánh mì (Van Loc), delicious plant-based fare (An Chay), to innovative street food expressions that you've never tasted before (Mãi Mãi)... We've got it all. And it's the best of the best. XO Bistro + Bar throws their name into the ring with a more elevated and modern Vietnamese dining experience, demonstrating that there's a sophisticated side to Viet food that demands representation as well. VUE Weekly loved this restaurant and named them #1 Best Vietnamese, #1 Best Late Night/All Night, and #1 Best Happy Hour in 2018. First opened in 2017 and now with two locations, I visited the original Downtown spot on a Saturday evening, anxiously anticipating the symphony of flavours ahead. XO Bistro is in good company on Edmonton's famous boardwalk street which is lined with a collection of many popular restaurants. The parking is a nightmare and the small handful of street parking spots always seem to be taken. But you'll figure it out. With its proximity to the ICE District you can easily imagine that this restaurant has been able to take advantage of the pre-game dinner crowd and post-game spillover from the Moss Pit. The restaurant is larger than you might imagine, with its soaring second-storey ceiling and filled with dark moody finishes and an impressive bar completing the lounge vibe. However, the real show-stopper is the life-sized cherry blossom tree right in the entranceway, covered in pink blossoms. This tree serves as a major focal point and it's difficult to take your eyes off of it! The servers are cheerful and friendly, and although there were no window tables available we were seated comfortably. Priding themselves on their cocktail program, I knew that an XO Original was a must and soon I found the Good Morning Vietnam (Gin, Soho, hibiscus, lime juice, lychee puree - $15.00) in my hand. A cocktail to match the restaurant perfectly! I loved that this beverage was fresh and fruity and wasn't too strong. Pretty and drinkable, the sweet flavour of lychee took the lead while tart notes from the lime and hibiscus leveled the beverage out. Without a doubt, the correct drink to sip on under the blush-hued blooms! XO Bistro's goal is to serve food that isn't always traditional but is always authentic. Bold, balanced flavours inspired by the everyday energy of Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi, and Da Nang. The liveliness and fresh takes are apparent on the menu right away and I was excited to order some dishes that felt new. Starting with appetizers, the Double Trouble (Rice paper, shrimp, lettuce, vermicelli, tangy fish sauce. Choice of pork or veggie spring roll - $11.25) stood out as something fun to try. Can't choose between a spring roll or a fresh roll? Get both! I loved this playful version and especially enjoyed getting to eat two types of rolls instead of just one! We chose the pork spring roll for the inside and I loved the textural crunch and juicy pork that it provided. Meanwhile, the outside was wrapped in rice paper, acting as a window to the shrimp enveloped within. Dunking each bite into the zippy fish sauce added just the right acidity. Wonderfully tasty, so much fun to eat, and striking presentation to boot! Another item that really caught my eye was the Bone Marrow (Roasted bone marrow, panko crust, toasted baguette, pâté - $19.00). A dish that I love but only come across seldomly. Now this was a dish that I certainly did not expect. But boy did I love it! Roasting the marrow topped with a crust of seasoned panko was inspired - a genius way to add texture (and more flavour) to an otherwise fairly gelatinous ingredient. Bread is such a huge component to Vietnamese cuisine (think bánh mì) because of the French colonization in the 1800s. The Viet people then proceeded to transform this bread into a completely new, localized culinary staple. The baguette at XO Bistro was absolute fresh, housemade(?) perfection. Crusty on the outside and chewy on the inside. I loved slathering the bread with ample amounts of delicious pâté (another "gift" from the French) and then topping it all off with spoonfuls of rich bone marrow. Each bite exemplified decadence and I reveled in it. This might very well have been the best bone marrow preparation that I've ever had. Vietnamese food might be one of the earlier examples of fusion cuisine, and while colonization sucks the food admittedly does not. XO Bistro provides everything that you know and love in terms of main dishes; from bánh mì to phở (there's even a "phở challenge" where if you eat an obscenely-sized bowl in 45 minutes you get a prize) to bún. On my visit I was in the

Staff won't allow happy hour specials at discounted price despite being in happy hour time frame. Hoang long is a modern clean space with bamboo accents and a newly renovated area. There is a large patio out front for summer. But it being closed off made the entrance kinda blending in. I was looking for the entrance and walked right by it. Trying to figure out how you get in is a slight challenge. As the door blends in so well and it appears it's just the patio. But that's the entrance. I visited quite early during happy hour at around 6pm. The place was entirely empty except for staff which was slightly disheartening. But I'm sure this place is bustling during the lunch hours. Wait staff were slow to greet me so I sat myself and grabbed my own menus. The menu Is vast. A huge range of thai and vietnamese foods. From soups, sandwiches, grilled meats and stews. Looking through the menu was overwhelming but at least there is something for everyone. We decided on trying the chicken satays with peanut sauce. These were a famous item popular during the taste of edmonton. They did not disappoint. They charred them so nicely I could hear the fire crackling in the dead of winter. But the best part was the peanut sauce. They don't provide this during the taste of edmonton. But it brings the dish to new heights. I would say...stick to the grilled meats here. They don't disappoint. I throughly enjoyed my bun bo hue. It was authentic and tasty. It made my list for top 5 in edmonton for sure. Portion was perfect and the ratio of meats and noodles were just right. Another great dish. My only vice was that it was happy hour...advertised from 3-7pm. But the staff would not allow discounted prices despite it only being 6pm. They had decent options like wine, beer or a customized cocktail for $4. The server states happy hour is over despite it clearly stating it is until 7pm on the menu. I point to the board and he says it's full price. Whatever. I don't like misrepresentation on menus. And discrepancys are misleading. For this I minused a star. Service was haphazard. I seated myself. Got my own condiments and even got my own drinks. I had to go to the counter to order my food and pay at the register. All the server did was put the food on my table and clean it up afterwards. The whole process downgraded the whole modern vibe to more of a cafeteria style establishment. I felt jipped tipping bc i basically served myself. So minus another star. Overall. The food was great. Slightly overpriced. But the atmosphere reflects the price in the heart of downtown. Service was okay but the whole happy hour misrepresentation was a huge turnoff. I won't ever be buying drinks here in the future. Bc hey...they don't follow the advertised prices on the menu. It's decent. I would revisit if I am in the area.

Inside there was just one table occupied but there is a decent amount of seating for the lunch time crowd. It seemed cleaned. The combos they offer are a rice or noodle (pad thai that didn't look very appetizing) and then up to 3 or 4 items. The food was under heat lamps so I could see what the options were. I decided to get the fried rice and a few items. I choose a chicken first and looked at the other items before deciding on the vegetables with cashews. The woman serving me had the rectangle take out container about 2/3 full and she kept suggesting food such as the green beans and then the sweet and sour pork. Both didn't look very appetizing. I think she was hoping I would pay for as much food to get rid of since the lunch time crowd had passed but she wasn't generous with the quantity. I decided on the beef skewer and then was done. At half price I paid $7.35. I brought the food home and heated it up. I liked the beef skewer but the rest of the food wasn't very good. The food tasted greasy and I had to use my fingers to eat the chicken was it had lots of bones. I'm not sure if it's from this food, but I didn't feel well after. Definitely would not pay $14 for the food I had as lots of other great restaurants around. It would probably be better to go during the lunch hour when the food is hot and fresh but I'll pass next time I'm in the area.
