Pho Binh Minh - 17th ave SE. Its in the same strip mall joint with the new grocery shop, something to do with Tiger? haha. (if travelling eastbound, you will see Pho Binh Minh on your left hand side w/ Pizza Hut in the parking lot somewhere) (Don't know the address really)

Pho Dau Bo - also on 17th Ave SE. this is in the "Little Saigon" strip mall. its right before the 52nd St SE lights.

Pho Xuan - on 36th St NE, across the street from Pacific mall (Canadian Tire, T n T supermarket, moviedome)

btw all 3 places.. :barf: :barf:

[WWJAI]

pho xuan and the place near chinook..bagaloc or w/e

[dj_rice]

I like my food authentic and dirrrrty...

Pho Xuan FTW :thumbsup:

[Mibz]

Mimosa in Shawnessey is the best for taste.
Pho Hoai in Southland Crossing gives me the most sauce.
Shawnessey Vietnamese has the largest portions.

I always go to Mimosa when I'm at home and Pho Hoai when I'm at work.

[dennisaur]

i really like saigon passion in falconridge

Ummmmm if your talking about Pho....what kinda sauce are they giving you extra??If its white, and thick, and looks fresh dude, its not supposed to come with pho man...:barf: :barf: :rofl: :poosie:

[jay838]

yeah 17th ave se there lots of good pho place..Pho Hoang in falconridge is not bad..Way better then pho le next to there...There soup taste like water

[CRXguy]

The only place I go to is Pho Rang Dong. Right in the heart of Forest Lawn!! :rofl: There's actually another place just off Bow Trail and 37th St SW. It's a tiny corner shop, and the food ain't half bad either. But that place is far, so I only get to go when I work out on the west end of the city.

All the other places cater to white folks, so the food is shit.

[Dehvee]

Sunnys in Chinatown next to the bakery is pretty good.
Pho Dau Bo has the best spring rolls evarrrr :drool:

[max_boost]

Here's a :thumbsup: for Sunny's in Chinatown. It's located off 2nd Ave SE, 1 block east of Center Street. Not sure how authentic it is but the place is clean and service is always good.

Pho Dau Bo is also one of my favorites. Their satay is killer spicy at times. :drool:

[Sorath]

pho kim

pho so

quynn

lemongrass

[Kritafo]

Pho Hoai in Chinatown, Far East shopping Centre. I love the Seafood soup...mmm

Forgot about that place but agreed..its really good there. Service is always great and the pho is pretty good as well.

[jdmakkord]

Pho ahn huyen on center street gets my vote, though I dont go many other places.

Changing topic to the kind of sauce that I DO ingest....
Does anybody know if Safeway/Sobeys/etc carries the standard vietnamese hot sauce and brown sauce?
Also if anybody knows what those sauces are ACTUALLY called it would be a big plus. I heard Hoison (sp?) once but never had it confirmed.

[dennisaur]

forget safeway/sobey's... walk on down to T&T or Lucky's supermarket. and yeah it's hoisin sauce

superstore should carry it, if not head to almost any asian grocery store.

thats the one we use at home, hoisin sauce is correct.
and the hot sauce we use at home is.

[gatorade]

bagolac is the best, do you guys know of a good vietnamese place that would seat parties of 15 people on one table?

[Impreza]

Pho Kim is ok, I go a lot since it is convenient. My favorite places are Noodle World and that place beside Gold's Fish store on 17th Ave SE

+2 for Pho Hoai! One of the first places i used to visit with a friend when he got me hooked! :drool:

I would load up my satay beef noodles up with a ton of sriracha and devour it. I keep a frequent stock of it in my house at all times now. Usually get mine from downtown, but I'll buy it at superstore once I run low again.

Pho Kim is also very good. Only have been there once but it was delicious when i went.

man thats a totally diffrent one man, i don't put that mashed up hot peppers in my pho ahha, in nuoc mum ya sure.. daaa fuck! ahha

yeah its true best pho is always at home

[Kritafo]

Sambal Olek.....I love that sauce. My son eats it like it's ketchup!

That is what I put on my Salad rolls, in my soup. Just don't get it in your eye! I dropped some in my soup it splashed into my eye and it was I am guessing what it's like to be maced!

Now I loved the Hoison they used to use at Pho Haoi but they changed it...now I am not so fond of it.. OH well, I love chili paste sauce.


Kritafo

[GTS Jeff]

I like the beef stew at Sunnys and the satay soup at Bagolac. For just regular pho, I like Pho Xuan.

They're so so. Ever try Lemon Grass across Richmond Road? I don't think it's that bad. Considering that they're in the west side, there's not a whole lot to choose from. There's also another one by the Cash Convertors on Bow Trail - can't remember the name of it though. There's also Bow Bul Go Gi on 17th Ave if you're desperate.

The food is okay but the service is terrible. Went there for lunch with a few co-workers once. 5 minute wait for a table (it wasn't busy- only 4 tables seated at the time we got there) 20 minutes to take our order after telling them twice we were ready to order. 45 minutes for the food to come out. One of our orders came out wrong - fixed right away though. Another 1/2 hour to get bill after we had asked 3 times. All the delays were because the waiter was too busy chatting it up with some blue hairs who must have been regulars.

[aaronck]

Got to be the guy who says it....

I freaking love Oriental Phoenix!!!!!!!!!!

[Vietsta]

pho rang dong is the best man. just on 8ave and 44 street. by lucky supermarket. know the owner and the food is always good there. noodle world is pretty good too

love both those places

[Hash_man]

Quynh (sp?) by cineplex in sunridge

This place gets my vote... Awesome service, great food and its a really clean restaurant.

The place accross from chinook mall isnt too shabby either.

[Xtrema]

I have yet find one in downtown that's good.

All the ones in China town are ok except for Y2K. Worst pho ever.

[phreezee]

Tried Sunny's the other day, not bad but my pet peave is when restaurants get cheap and water down the hot sauce and hoisin :thumbsdow :thumbsdow Ruined everything.

Bagolac sucks ass for Viet food, although their Thai stuff looks alright. But I'm not fond of Thai food either, so I guess I'll never go back.

Pho Binh Minh FTW.

[aaronck]

How did you guess? the same thing is said everytime the Pheonix is brought up, but man, I looooove that food, and have yet to have anything as good, Bagolac is close though

[Sprinter]

BAGOLAC FTW:thumbsup:

[abyss]

Pho Hao (still labelled as Le's Pho in the old Ikea complex on 36th, their broth is SOOO good!!) or Pho Xuan are my personal faves.

[DGill]

[eb0i]

Pho Hoa up on 17th across from Pho Dau Bo :drool:

and I still love Noodle World (by Pho Dau Bo) even if it was shutdown before.

Otherwise mom's home cooking owns all!

because their food sucks haha, they cater to white folks. and they think its 'authentic and really good' ;)

[adam c]

i think the best place for Pho would be Pho Thanh 6630-4st NE

but for regular veit then Bagolac Saigon across from chinook lrt station.. been going there since the days of high school

[Xtrema]

By saying Pheonix is good, it like saying McDonald's is awesome authentic American crusine. Or Tacobell is authentic Mexican.

[nmack]

i like Pho Kim and that Hue place in forrest lawn.. in Little Saigon
u order at the store front then walk across the hall to eat..
can bring a pot with you and buy it in bulk too haha.

[nonlinear]

So, Phu Kim is pronounced like "fuck him" :nut:

Owner changed. But still ok. Better that that place up by Country Hills/Sobey's

[girlSTAR]

Pho Rang Dong :drool:

[01RedDX]

.

[cloud7]

Vietnamese Restaurant (or is it call Vietnamese Village?) near Deerfoot Mall at corner of 65 Ave/9 St NE... I love their satay beef noodle soup... I don't care if it's authentic or not, it just tastes so goooooooooood.

[SneakyNeek]

the upper pho place across from churchill school gets my vote:thumbsup:

[signature7]

Quynh sucks the only thing good there is the pho but anything else is too westernized....

i agree, the more ghetto the place the better the food...i like binh minh but if you want good viet food that is not pho and not in a ghetto area there's vietnamese village and vietnam fortune...haha well it's beside chicken on the way so it's kinda ghetto but the inside is clean and nice..

[signature7]

omg that place is nasty....i thought to myself finally a viet place close to home and i went there and never been backk...anyone else go there...what really sticks to my mind is the washrooms anyone else notice that??

the one in country hills im talking about.

[Speed_69]

anybody know any vietnamese restaurants that are open late?
All of them seem to close at 9pm

The only one that i know of that is open the latest is Pho Kim; they close at 12am on fridays and saturdays.

[dino_martini]

How the hell do you say "pho", as you probably can tell Im white.

[toyboy88]

OMG! past weekend found a GREAT new place, and im forever going to this one:

You say "pho" either "fuh" or "fah" not with an O sound.

HAHAHAHA

[Ajay]

There's a pretty wicked place across from Churchill in a strip mall. There's two in that that strip mall but I've only had the pho from the one that's beside an aquarium store I think.

Think it might be called Saigon Essence.

My best friend since I was 10 is viet

[Turbo_honda]

the best 'pho' hands down is 1.Bagolac across the chinook LRT next to the subway.
2. Sunny's downtown by the bakery on the top floor. Great service AND great food. :poosie:

[slick2404]

awsome place right across Eliston Park (sp?) where the fireworks were this year on 17th SE


Its in the 7-11 Plaza... awsome food awsome service and awsome design inside.

[Cooked Rice]

I went to Le's Pho today in Castleridge Plaza for my first time and ordered some bun, and spring rolls. It was actually really good, and the serving of bun was pretty big. I went at around 6 and it was quiet so service and the food was real quick.

[Vietsta]

pho rang dong FTW wouldn't anywhere elese man

[CaseoftheEX]

DO NOT GO TO SONG VIET IN CHINATOWN!!!!

My buddy went there last week and found a pubic hair in his rice! :eek:
