This is not the first time being here, and will definitely not be the last! I live this place! I always get polite and fast service, and the food has always been amazing. Today, I walked in, and the place was packed. I was sat immediately at the last table available; but even for the people that came in after me, they were told a 10 minute wait, but got sat in less than 5. As soon as I sat down, I was served green tea and ice water, as well as handed the menu to review. I decided on the Phõ Đô Biên (Seafood Rice Noodle Soup) and it was sooooo good. I was so full and completely satisfied by the time I finished! When I got up, the portor thanked me for coming in. When I paid the cashier thanked me for coming in and gave a polite bow. The service has always been very top notch here. The servers are constantly coming around to make sure everything is good. The restaurant is clean and has some unique decor to spark the interest in looking. I highly recommend. read more

After hearing great reviews, we visited this Millwood location Tues Nov 3, 2020 at 5pm. This restaurant has placed acrylic panels between tables to seat as many people as possible given our new safe distancing rules. Upon seating, you are given a pot of tea & glasses of water. The tea was so far watered down that it could almost be mistaken for hot water. They need to refresh the tea leaves. Food came out quickly..grilled beef on vermicelli & assorted meats (grilled chicken, pork, beef) with shrimp on vermicelli. It all looked good but... The bowls are large, filled with noodles & sprouts, however, skimpy on the chicken & shredded vegetables. Loved the fact that they removed the tail ends of the shrimp.. Most places keep it on. The beef was somewhat dry like it was from the day before...or was that the pork? The flavors of the meats were also lacking to the point that we couldn't tell if it was pork or beef, we could tell with the sparse amount of chicken because it was a different color. The spring roll was very good. We had ordered a take out for our son but when we got home, it was a pho with tripe (he refused to eat it, no kidding, rt!) and not the grilled chicken & shrimp on vermicelli. Seeing as I don't plan to go there again, we didn't call the restaurant. Not the friendliest owners/staff. Service was fitting for this restaurant..& I'll leave it at that. I do want to say the dishes are large (filled with vermicelli & bean sprouts if that's what you like) & very affordable $14-$15. read more

I've been to this place many times and this time I wanted just a little something crispy so I got their spring rolls- always crispy and delicious with their savoury dipping sauce. Can't go wrong here! read more

Pho Hoan Pasteur - Spring rolls - crispy and delicious - Vietnamese Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Little known fact: Edmonton has some of the best Vietnamese noodle places in the country. Pho Hoan Pasteur is has been around for a long time, and in my opinion, they have the best Pho Sate of any other place in this city. If you love satay beef noodle soup, don't miss this spot. Wonderfully rich, flavourful broth, with tender slices of rare beef. Original location is located in Kingsway area (just north of downtown), but they've since opened up 2 other locations...Millwoods and West End. We've been to them all, and I have to say for the satay, the Kingsway and Millwoods locations are best. Their vermicelli bowls are pretty good too, as are their rice dishes. Service at the Millwoods location is unusually good for a pho spot too! For those who want a basic beef pho, nothing compares to Pho Tau Bay in Chinatown. read more

very disappointed in the customer service. I ordered an hour ahead of time for pick up. Ask for specific instructions for a meal to be split for my two kids. As well as including utensils and napkins. When I arrived, they told me they would not split the meal, and I would have to pay extra and I would have to pay extra for utensils. They gave me one napkin. Very disappointing I drove an extra half hour to go to this restaurant as I have eaten there before but not impressed. I won't make that extra drive again. Very frustrating when you spend over $90 and now my children have to fight over one dish. read more

We arrived and waited for 30 minutes. We had pre-ordered appetizers, but after 30 minutes, no food had arrived. My kids were already hungry, and other customers who arrived after us were served first. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this restaurant at all. Ambience, is ok nothing too fancy. read more

This is the new business that took over the corner area of where Tim Hortons used to be in millwoods. The pho here is different than I'm used to since my boyfriend and I frequent pho chain restaurants. The broth here is good, has a little more cilantro than the normal pho broths I get but still appetizing! The sizes are a bit smaller than usual as well and the price is about 1-2 dollar difference from the chain pho places I've been to. Understandably though, this is more of a family run restaurant. The service is better than other pho restaurants though as the servers actually check in on you to make sure you're still doing okay which I think is a good plus! The menu carries vermicelli bowls, rice platters and pho. I'd love to see banh mi pop up at one of these restaurants ;) I ordered the small pho with steak and flank but asked for no steak--replacement with extra flank and they were happy to oblige! I was happy to hear since I usually get a dirty look when I ask to substitute meat. The boyfriend ordered the grilled pork and shrimp lemongrass vermicelli bowl and loved it! The size was a large portion and he really enjoyed it. Overall, this is a place I'll find myself frequenting in the future :) read more

We needed a last minute supper since we were running late on our plans. We chose this place because it was fairly close to home, had great reviews and wasn't a burger joint. On a Sunday evening about an hour before closing, this place was still busy! Parking is not an issue here, and we were seated almost immediately. It is a little cramped for seating and a little lacking in ambience, but only because it used to be a Tim Horton's location. They do have high chairs, boosters and change tables here too. It's an excellent place for a family with small children because they provide you with small bowls and teaspoons that are perfectly sized for small hands, plus they give you a pair of scissors to cut up your kids food. Service is friendly, fast, and efficient. They are constantly cleaning which I appreciate. My youngest was throwing a hunger tantrum before we even ordered & staff was nice enough to bring out a jar of lollipops for her to pick one to tide her over. There wasn't any pressure to hurry either. From order to table, it took less than 10 minutes. Portion size is pretty good. We ordered 2 large phos and 1 vermicelli dish. It easily stuffed our family of 2 plus 2 littles and even had enough leftover for a small lunch. I like the broth here and I'm a cilantro hater, but I didn't even taste it (if there was any in there). The tea tastes different here too, in a pleasant way. For a local family business, I think they've nailed it. I'll definitely be back here when I'm wanting some authentic Vietnamese food close to home. read more

This location use to be Tim Hortons! We went on a Sunday afternoon and it was very busy inside! We were seated quickly and water was brought to our table. Food was ordered and brought out in a timely manner. Their bun bo hue was a little odd, like they just added chili to their pho. The pho tasted alright. read more

I love their beef noodle soup, tasty broth with enough meat and noodles to fill me up the whole day! Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere!

This was my first time at this particular Vietnamese restaurant, and I was very impressed! First of all, this one was much bigger than most Pho restaurants, they usually only have 5-6 tables, this one was easily double that. We were seated right away and were brought water and tea as soon as we sat down. They have a nice and big menu with lots of variety for soup/ noodle bowls. There were 3 sizes for the soups, regular, large, and extra large, and were $13-16 each. We were ambitious and ordered the extra large pho soups, and holy man they were huge! So it's definitely worth it if you've got a big appetite to go with the bigger bowl. The staff were friendly, and the restaurant wasn't super loud. We were really happy here and will probably be back soon! read more

Fantastic place to eat. Personally I think it is the best Pho Broth I have ever had before. Very authentic and everything is made homemade no soup base is created with weird powders or jelly. The service is a little bit off just due to a language barrier but they are so extremely friendly here and it is worth every penny to check out. (Try the large 16. It's a bit spicy for some people but it's amazing) read more

As a disclaimer...earlier this day we were in a major car accident. Our vehicle was totalled and I was taken to the Grey Nun's hospital to be assessed by ambulance. Not exactly the best day. And we live in the North Side. So after a full day with no food, we were waiting to be picked up by a friend to be taken home...and starving. I didn't have my painkiller prescription (concussion, whiplash, bashed knee, and horrible pain in the chest from the seat belt/airbags employed)....so not in the best shape to critique food. (However, you can't fault me for being a dedicated yelper...lol). So I was hungry at 4 PM and the Grey Nuns hot food service was closed until 4:30. Me being a foodie decided to stumble over to Pho Hoan Pasteur which I reasoned (even though I had a concussion) would be a better option then hospital food. And having no food in the system all day, I was hungry. I wasn't really in a clear mind to assess the place, but to me it seemed to lack atmosphere. Bland colors, no themes, and ugly open kitchen concept, gross hospital style tables and chairs. (Maybe they snagged them from the Grey Nuns). It took our server what felt like a long time to come see us (but having not eaten at all that day, perhaps I was a bit impatient). However, once they took our order, they were pretty prompt in service. *(After being a major accident and spending all day in emerg...I thought we didn't look that bad....not too sure on why they didn't serve us right away). Perhaps because we were still in shock, we ordered our comfort food - salad rolls with shrimp, my hubby orderd the Bun Bo Cha Gio - Grilled beef and spring rolls with vermicelli, and I ordered the wonton soup. Everything was decent but not outstanding. The salad rolls were the most disappointing. I realized that my head couldn't have been hit that hard when I realized that they lacked the flavour in them. Stuffed with lettuce (?) instead of the either mint/cilantro/basil combo I am use to. Will never order these again. They really need to step up their game with these. The mains were decent but nothing remarkable. I enjoyed my soup. I found the soup base to be bland, however with all the soya sauce/oyster sauce/chili oil/ chili paste on the table, it isn't hard to doctor it up to the flavour you like. The wontons were pleasant enough and stuffed with pork filling...and a decent amount of veggies. My husband ate his vermicelli bowl without too much of comment...it looked fine and fresh. I tried his spring roll and it tasted fine but was a little skimpy on the filling. Oddly, what I did enjoy immensely was the free tea. I couldn't place the flavour but it wasn't the typical watered down green tea that you get in a lot of places. It was delicious and warm and comforting. Would I choose to eat here again? No. Is it better bang for your buck compared to the hospital cafeteria food? Probably (I can't say for sure because I haven't eaten there but the fact that they don't have hot food to order all day says something about the place). And it was really quick. So if you are at the Nuns for an appointment, or want to give some joy to a patient there, give this place a try. read more

Food is pretty good. I would make this my regular spot for Vietnamese food even with the extra drive BUT I will not because the customer service is terrible. Spending 40 bucks for two people for meals to go and when we asked for some hot sauce and hosin sauce on the side we were told we would have to pay even through it's on the table free of charge. People working there were not friendly and with all the other pho places in city I will not return Ans look a place that appreciates the business read more

Good pho, but zero dining atmosphere. Indeed, this used to be a Tim Hortons, and the current owners merely swapped out the tins of coffee in the glass display cases with decorative art. When I visited on a Friday evening, it was totally packed, and we were seated in an awkward table close to the door. I've never found Tim Hortons to be inviting, and it was loud, crowded and the florescent lights just didn't do it for me. The service was just ok; we made some requests for water that were forgotten, and no one offered to bring us extra cutlery. I've gotten better with chopsticks the past year, but a fork and spoon is nice sometimes. The pho was good, not too salty and coming in three different size bowls. The smallest serving was a perfect size for me, as I generally eat smaller portions, but my friend commented that she was very dissatisfied with the smaller size when she ordered it previously. My husband didn't like his dish, he found his meat to be too fatty and the broth lacking in flavor. I think that I may order take out from Pho Hoan if I was in the area, but I wouldn't return to dine in. It felt like a high school cafeteria and it prevented me from really enjoying the meal. read more

This is our fav pho place in the south of the city! The service is not the best because every time we come they always forget something. The soup is definitely worth it. It's always busy no matter what time or day. The set up is super tight, you can almost hear that next table to you. We don't mind the tightest as we always come back. Free tea is a plus !! read more

We used to drive to the Northside location before we discovered one close by - it was that good. This location is less good. Very clean environment, good Vietnamese fare but the service could use some help. When putting in an order for pickup I tried to give her my husbands name so he could pick it up. Was told 'no just tell us what you ordered when you pickup'. So he did and what do you know, someone else had already picked up that order. They asked to speak to me to verify what I ordered and rattled off something very different from what I ordered. I repeated what I ordered and she tried to tell me that was NOT what I told her earlier. I asked why they don't just take names she told me their way was much better and could my husband wait another 10 minutes so they could remake the order? So more than average patience is required! read more

We decided to try this place out since it was a new Pho place close to our house. Probably not going back. Food was ok...if you don't mind the noodles being a little over. Soup was not very hot and felt the prices were high considering how much food we got. My daughter ended up with a piece of bone in her spring roll. Service was pretty dismal. We were standing at the door for a good 5 minutes before we were even acknowledged. It took even longer for someone to come by and take our order. They couldn't even get the order right. The bean sprouts, mint, and lemons we had to ask for and trying to get their attention was pretty painful. It took another table across from us to get the server's attention to get these and forks for my kids. I have never not tipped (usually no less than 10%), but these guys really made me consider not tipping at all...2 stars because the food was passable. read more

The restaurant is simple uncomfortable. The most noticeable element was the added seating in what used to clearly be an entryway. I would say this place is fine for lunch but I wouldn't take someone here for any kind of occasion. The food is similar to other locations (although not as good as Kingsway) but the set up is just jarring. I'm surprised people haven't started calling this location Pho Hortons Pasteur. read more

Been here a few times, pho is pretty good. But the customer service aint that great. There is this old lady that wears glasses that would look at us weird, and she always seems so mad. idk. some other staff are nice but eh. everyone has their own opinion read more

The pho is always delicious and it's always great on a cold winters day. The new locations offers the same great tastes as expected from the other two restaurants. Beef satay is my favourite. read more

Good pho. Well prepared. Spring rolls are skimpy. Only 3 given with order. Overall. Good price. Good food. Will be back again.

Visited this restaurant on the weekend with family members from Europe. I had high hopes based on the reviews. However, we were disappointed as it was not what we had expected in terms of quality, flavour and value for money for 'traditional' Vietnamese. I think that coming from Europe we have strong palates for more traditional cooking. As for the service - then need to work on customer relations and welcoming those of us that are new to their restaurant. Overall very disappointing read more

Had #42. Very good. I like being able to add all the sauces to tweak the flavour and add heat. We also had spring rolls and salad rolls. Both yum. Fast service even though restaurant was full. Would come again. read more

This is the first time i try salad rolls.. They should go back to Vietnam learn how's to make salad rolls.or watch on YouTube they will teach u guy the right way. read more

I absolutely love the food here! I work super close and order from them probably once or twice a week for pick up. The size is good and the Pho is always super hot. My only complaint is that the service when dinning in isn't always the greatest. Once you have your food they don't normally come around to check if you would like anything else or refills. read more

My go to viet place in town! I'm Vietnamese and this is the best spot for viet food in Edmonton. I only wish I had found it earlier. The place is always packed which is a great sign. Reasonable prices and generous portions. The grilled beef (and grilled pork) salad rolls are to die for. Seriously - try them. Better than my mom's! Hot, quick, delicious food at a decent price. Nice people. Would and have recommended to friends and family. The only "cons" are the tables are really close together but it doesn't bother me personally. read more

I do not recommend. Walking in we were not greeted asked only "how many". The customer service was horrible. Forgot drink orders. Was mopping the floor 2 hrs prior to close all around all the people that were eating. My opinion I don't like to eat and smell bleach all around me. The food was OK but no one came to ask how anything was or follow up. I would not go back read more

I went here just a couple months back and needed to review it. I've lived in this area for the majority of my life and coming from a Vietnamese background, never found a good place to have Pho in the Southside when my mom didn't want to make any. Lo and behold, this old Timmy's turns into a Pho place. I found it funny that you can still tell it used to be a Timmy's haha! Both my brothers and my dad approved and my partner and I decided to come here with my Dad to try it out. Mind you I only visited here once and had their Bon Bo Hue whereas my Dad and partner both had Pho. They liked theirs, and upon taste test - it's good! It's not the best but I like to think I'm really strict about what I like about Pho. Now as for my BBH, I'm also just as strict. Lots of places like to either over-spice, over-salt, or make BBH as bland as possible. The BBH I had here that time was just right. It's not perfect but it's tasty enough for the person who wants and can handle a little bit more heat. It wasn't over-salted or over-spiced. I could be giving this place an extra star JUST because it's finally a place I can depend on to get some soup in the Southside :-) As a side note to other reviewers, I don't mind when I'm not greeted in Vietnamese/Asian establishments as "how many??" because, well, that's how Asians are sometimes and I've been used to it since I was a child. I did not, however, like that the staff was also mopping around while we were eating here in the middle of the afternoon. Yay for cleanliness, but come on, choose a better time. read more

Honestly I always come here, at least 1 time each week with my family. We had multiple issues with the Pho. We have found stuff like hair and bits of a sponge. The Pho is great if it's not ruined by pieces of hair. You people eating there have most likely eaten a few pieces of hair by now. FML read more

I do not get the hype about this place at all. The portions are so small, the quality isn't great, and the service is non-existent. When I ordered a pho, the amount of bean sprouts they gave us on the side was laughable. And lemons instead of limes... come on, spend a bit more money for likes. The salad rolls also didn't have anything great to them either. Lots of other good places asides this one. read more

For informal Vietnamese, you can't beat Pho Hoan Pasteur! I have to admit, I've only eaten the vermicelli here, but I've had it several times and it's the best I've eaten. Same with the bubble tea. Top notch! Staff are friendly and table service is quick. read more

A much better use of an ex Tim Hortons location! I understand why this cafe is so busy. The phone soups are delicious. Satay noodle soup is a solid 8 out of 10. Friendly courteous service.
