Let me just say that the regular size pho was enough for me and that it was served surprisingly fast! Before that, we got the spring roll appetizers and it was soooo good and made fresh. I would also like to point out that the ladies that worked here were so friendly and made our visit much more enjoyable. When we're back in Calgary, this will be a place we would go to! read more

Amazing service. The owner made great recommendations and made sure everything was hot and fresh and to our liking. Delicious banh mi sandwiches. Spicy oil is made in house and so tasty. Owner also recommended satay beef and phorrito with ham that I will have to come back to try! read more

Pho Van has KO'd my previous fave and become our #1 place for Viet delivery. I have never eaten in. The ingredients are very fresh and the Bun has the perfect ratio of meat/noodle/produce. The spring rolls are hot, crispy and compact and don't get mushy. I love the grilled beef short ribs and egg on rice and the pho. But, I've actually started experimenting more with ordering because so far anything I've tried has been so good. read more

Spacious dining and great flavours at Pho Van in Harvest Hills. The staff can speak both Vietnamese and Cantonese and have a fun laid back personality- this place seems to be a local patron favorite. I noticed prices (already high) are up another 6% compared to a menu image from 6 months ago; inflation woes are no joke. I got the spicy grilled chicken Banh Mi and it hit the spot, flavors and baguette were on point. Those pho prices are cringe to me tho at $14/$17 each. read more

The boys and I were wandering around Royal Oak and had a hankering for Vietnamese cuisine. Our server inspected our proof of vaccination cards(since she wanted to see the dates of vaccination) and identification. All staff were wearing masks and there was a hand sanitizer container at the entrance. Customers were still entering to dine in even after the lunch rush (we were there from 1:45 to 2:50pm) on a Saturday. I enjoyed my bún (27A) very much! The lettuce, cucumber and carrots were very fresh and the meat balls, beef and pork were well seasoned(with a hint of lemongrass) and grilled perfectly. The boys ordered satay beef pho and rare beef/beef ball pho(the large size is sizeable portion, so they were glad that they didn't order the extra large); according to them, the broth was very flavourful and comforting (and the satay broth was very spicy). The boys also ordered mango smoothies(made from real mango instead of powder) with lychee jelly. Strawberry, avocado, jackfruit, and durian smoothies are also available, and they come with the tops already sealed in plastic(the bubble tea straws are also wrapped). I chose to drink tea because I didn't want a brain freeze... Overall, the service was pleasant and efficient. This restaurant has a tasteful, modern decor with evenly spaced tables. We would like to return and try their other special noodle soups! read more

It has been a while since eating here as I moved away from the area. Was happy to see if is just as good as I remember it. Always very fast service, was brought both water and tea right as I sat down. The person serving me helped me decide in a soup based on my preferences and it was great (landed on the sate beef pho). It's a great little spot. My bill for the soup (including tip and tax) was 13.89 which is pretty comparable to other places I believe. read more

Pho Van Vietnamese Noodle House - Sate beef - Vietnamese Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

My favorite noodle house; for when I am craving bun bo hué. I have tried a lot of other pho restaurant but pho van has the best bun bo hué.I stopped by at least once a week. Their beef stew soup is also good. I think all their soup is good because they use fresh ingredients and the meat is tender and perfect. Our server, who I believe is the owner is always in a good mood when we go there. She is very friendly and nice. The parking there sucks. There is other business so parking is always hard to find. My husband and I like to go there around 8 pm an hour before they close. Just so we don't have to deal with having to find a parking. Other than that I would recommend this place to any one read more

Love this place mostly because I'm addicted to their mango shrimp salad! I ask for extra chilies because I love the sweet tart and spicy contrast you get. My husband loves their bun bo hue here very comparable to pho binh minhs bun bo hue also and their pho is decent not the best pho in Calgary but decent. read more

I recently went here to get some pho and I was impressed with their speedy service and food quality! The customer service was above the standard pho restaurant and the server was very attentive to our needs. The quality of food was on point and fresh. I recommend the chicken noodle soup or any of the pho options. read more

Pho Van Vietnamese Noodle House - Chicken noodle soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Been coming here for the last 10 years. Best Bun Bo hue in the NW when you've got the craving! Consistent flavor and quantity each and every single time. Beef pho sate also doesn't disappoint. read more

Was VERY disappointed with my visit!! This was my first time here, and I was looking at ordering a seafood soup, but the server said it was spicy so suggested I get the shrimp soup, which I did. Wasn't too pleased when all I got was a bowl full of noodles and boiling water, with 4 shrimp!! That's it!! And I paid $15.33 total for this. Unless someone who works there offers me some sort of compensation with a complimentary dish of something, as a second chance, I won't be going back. read more

This place is still open, It's packed at Lunch time here again today. Been here twice in week. Business as usual read more

I like the portion of soups. It's pretty tasty. My family's favorite option for soups. Even we moved to south, we still like to come here. read more

Positives tasty soup and that's it. This spot charged 10.50 for a regular bowl while others charge 8.95-10 but the differences you actually get what you pay for. Yeah I know 10.50 for a large doesn't seem much but the quantity you get is like a small to a regular in other places. I ordered the beef and beef ball pho and got two slices of a half beef ball, and 3 pieces of meat yes I counted. The waitress is rude and this place is also stingy with the bean sprouts. My buddy also ordered a sate beef pho and it was unbelievable spicy and he orders that all the time. The waitress herself she doesn't even eat it so what does that tell you? Ordered viet drinks and got half of the cup filled the rest was empty and they put the drinks in a covered cup so you can't tell how much is actually in it unless you open it like we did. Not worth it would be a 1 star but they have good tasting soup, save your money and go to other places in yyc read more

I have been here a few times since my break up with Nha Trang (see latest review). Its just average, nothing to rave about. The owners are super nice, the pho and salad rolls were good and as far as the vermicelli bowls were concerned, they were just meh. I agree with another review on here that their salad roll dipping sauce is not peanut based so if you are into that, you won't find it here. I didn't have an issue with the absence of the peanut butter as it was still a decent palatable sauce, peanut butter would have made it much better though. We went in today and ordered 2 salad roll servings (3 rolls per order, other places usually have 4 for the same price of $5.50) 3 vermicelli type offerings for me and the kids ($9.50 each for the kids, $10.50 for me) and hubs had a "special stir fry" on soft egg noodles ($10.95)...his dish was pretty awful. The "chicken" resembled and tasted like pork and was rubbery and just tasted off (we don't eat piggies), the entire dish was bland and the dishes consistency resembled a thick gravy like goo - it was totally repugnant. In fact, most of the dish was a cauliflower and broccoli stir fry. We mentioned to the staff that it was underwhelming and the chicken was off and were basically told next time try the seafood stir fry. Um hows about NO?! I would think that since like 4 bites were taken they would remove the nasty goo stir fry from the bill, nope!! And to make matters worse she overcharged us about $5. Not that its a big deal but for a $60 meal that was probably one of the worst I've had at a pho place, I wasn't impressed. One star for the pho, one star for the nice staff...I think that's generous. No kids menu, and their smoothies are priced higher than other pho places. If you are coming here, stick with the pho or better yet drive up further into the plaza and go to Jerusalem Shawarma, excellent bang for your buck and its delicious for about the same price! read more

I went here for the first time in the last few days and I can honestly say the pho soup there was amazing!!! They had a clear delicious broth with the perfect amount of meat. I heard their bun bo hue was great too. The restaurant was clean but not really roomy, i went on a Saturday and it was packed. Totally recommend it though. read more

The place was really busy when I stopped in this past Saturday. I think I was the only white person in here. So I figured it must have good food. WRONG! All I ordered was some shrimp salad rolls. Pretty easy and I thought it would be quick. WRONG! I waited and waited. Saw an order that was placed after mine being brought out to a table. Finally, my order was ready. I opened the styrofoam box and unwrapped the salad rolls. At first glance, they looked ok, but upon closer examination, I noticed that they had sliced the shrimp in half down the middle, flat. Interesting. They were filled mostly with vermicelli. There were a couple pieces of wilted lettuce. Nothing else. Ok, so I go to dip a roll in the sauce I was given only to find out it's NOT peanut sauce but something resembling hoisin sauce with some shredded carrots and chili flakes. YUCK! Who in their right mind doesn't serve shrimp salad rolls without peanut sauce? These goons, that's who!! I was so disappointed. This totally ruined the whole thing. If they can ruin salad rolls, I don't trust them with the rest of the menu. read more

Its always nice coming in here. Family run business with some of the best bun bo hue in the NW. Every time I come in the owner always comes over and has a quick chat to make sure everything is tasting great. The bun bo hue always has enough meat to satisfy any carnivore with ample spiciness to go along, or you can always order a little more sate if not enough. It does get a little busy especially during peak times but turnover is pretty quick . read more

They're fairly new, so I thought I would give this place a shot. Tables were packed when I got there, so service suffered a bit. Ordered the house special bowl of pho. Food 2/5 - Average as far as pho goes, with the broth on the sweet side. The noodles were mushy, meaning that they were overcooked and likely kept out too long. The beef was okay, but again, the texture was rough like the beef had been in the water a bit long. Ambience 3/5 - It was clean, tidy, and uninspiring. Nothing tacky, nothing attractive either. McDonalds has a better ambience. Service 3/5 - As good as typical Asian restaurants get. Service was slowed due to how busy it was, so that was understandable. Food came out fast, but that was largely due to how much prep work had been done. Value 2/5 - For a large bowl, it was small by pho restaurant standards. The pricing is on par with others in the area, but overall, the portions were on the small side. Likely won't be back - Pho Thanh is considerably better and only 5 minutes away. read more

I've been coming here a lot lately especially when I have nothing to eat after work. I recognize one of the guy that works there. I think he used to work at Pho Thanh. Everything about this place reminds me of Pho Thanh. The menu, setting, soup etc. Did they copy them? Probably...I don't really care, I just want good food and if they copied from Pho Thanh then I won't have to drive all the way to Pho Thanh anymore. The first bowl of Pho really hit the spot. Maybe I came at the right time because I personally thought everything about it was good. The sate was weak though but the soup was flavourful. You will definitely taste that msg. I tried the vermicelli another time. I know I know. I often said that vermicelli tast the same everywhere but I guess these guys proved me wrong. The pork has a slight kick in it. And if you try their beef vermicelli, you'll definitely taste that kick. I've became a fan here simply because Saigon Perl down the street is a bit bland now that I came here. It's like getting Pho Thanh food but in a newer and cleaner setting. But a few tips though...it's a small restaurant so avoid peak hours. They are new and ironing out the kinks so don't expect excellent service. The first time I had take out, they forgot my sauce. If it weren't for their food, that mishap would of the been their last. So come here for the food. Forget everything else. Order the vermicelli...yes the vermicelli. It's that good. read more

Definitely love this place! It's nice to have a great quality pho place by my house for once! The owners are always there and they've got to be the sweetest people! It's usually pretty busy here but I understand why! They're also very quick with getting everything out considering how busy it always is. Overall, I've been here a bunch of times and never had anything but an amazing experience. :) read more

This is a good place for Vietnamese food. I've been all over Vietnamese restaurants in Calgary. The service is ALWAYS fast even when busy (not sure what Lisa P. is complaining about). The salad rolls are fine. The comment made by Lisa P. about being the only white person there makes me laugh. What also makes me laugh is she's complaining about a few pieces of wilted lettuce. What do you expect when you pay under $10 for a full meal? Be realistic. read more

Ordered for takeout 3 times and this past weekend we ordered and realized that we were charged 5% extra aside from GST. When we confronted them they said it was because of COVID. Although it was only $2 plus, it would have been nice for them to mention it before hand and seeing as we didn't get the receipt the past 2 times, we were also charged it. We ordered and picked up directly with the restaurant and not with any food ordering apps. It was really disappointing to be taken advantage of during these times especially because the food it good. I understand that by the restaurant staying open they are helping us out, but if only they were more open about it. read more

Went there last night and was pleasantly surprised. I has a vermicelli bowl with shredded pork and spring roll and I will say it was pretty good but not the best by no means. The place we wanted to go to was closed but we really really wanted to try the other place out. I am not too sure if I would go back. It was worth trying this place out. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. i found thier food to be great. The setting is some what modern. i mostly have take out to feel my 2 teenage step sons. a few times i would sit down with my husband. We have yet to go thier on thier peak hours.like anyplace that gets busy im sure it would be packed because the resturant isnt the biggest. The owners are great and always friendly. the food has alot of flavour to it. whenever our family has a craving for Pho or vermicilli, this is our #1 spot. read more

Today I ordered the Pho Ga (Chicken Pho) overall the broth was good and the chicken was fresh and of good quality. I ordered a large as I was starving. The portion was small, not enough chicken or noodles. Not worth the 12.50$ My son who is 4 can eat more than what was served to me. I don't recommend this place as their are other options for pho in this area. It's too bad really. The restaurant is nice / clean and the people who run it are nice. If this place wants more business the prices need to be more competitive and portion sizes need to increase. I left after my "large" pho and was still hungry. 2 stars. 1 for the quality of soup and 1 for the cleanliness of the restaurant. read more

Fantastic service, large portions, and fairly clean place. Prices slightly higher than other places but reasonable for a Vietnamese food in the NW. Will be back. read more

I've pretty much stopped coming here. I say pretty much because I still do like their ph. I'm just really disappointed that the meat portion keeps getting smaller and smaller. The amount of meat you get is so little now that it's just not satisfying enough for me. Also, their ph tai (rare beef) comes out well done every frickin time!!!!! That's called ph chin. If I want that, I would have ordered that. read more

Terrible services from the owners. I was ordered the black coffee on ice from the server, but I got the black coffee on ice with sugar in it. I made the complaints to the server, but they wouldn't make a new one for me, instead the owner was trash talking behind my back while I was eating. I couldn't believe this place has such bad service and manner. read more

This is our local fav for vietnamese. We always call in our order to go, and it's ready in 10 minutes. The rare beef soup is awesome. A must have when you're sick or pregnant, or just needing some comfort food. Bubble tea with jelly is great, made with real ingredients. Service is always very friendly, even on the phone. Vermicelli bowls unfortunately are just ok. read more

My husband and I went in for Lunch and it was quite busy. We had Pho noodle soup (tip: you can order sate on the side), chicken vermicelli and spring rolls.
