Pho Anh Huyen on Center St, #30 XL is still a staple for me.

Don't give a shit what anyone says. A bowl of pho should not cost $20 and if it does, it better be fucking loaded to the tits with all the herb fixings as well.
Recently found out Heart of Saigon closed down by Chinook, quite liked it there.
New favs:
Pure Street Food Noodle Bar in 1st Street Market. - $15, decent price for Beltline (used to be $12 when started)
Pho Mr.Q Vietnamese Restaurant in Crowfoot - $15 for Large. Wide menu, great atmosphere inside, beef is good and tender and satay has a hint of Tom Yum? Very interesting take.
Too many places don't do good soup any more and just cheap out with MSG.

Pure is fantastic. Expensive but really high quality meat. And the broth is perfect.
Pho Huan Pasteur in Royal Oak vastly improved their broth recently.

I think the OG Pure on 8th is better than the one in the market.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Oh crap, that’s the OG! My friend gushes about it. No wonder.
They were good and then they cheap out when they got popular. But I don't think I'll go back until Mr Q quality drops off.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Pho Mr Q is good. The new location is more roomy and the food is good. Grant we usually do take out. I usually go for the Sate Beef Pho, or one of the vermicelli with various pork varieties.
Definitely going to try out Mr Q esp since they have subs. PHP Royal Oak redid their menu so I think there were some management changes.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Went to Pho Dau Bo first and only time last summer. Was really confused at what all the fuss was about for a $20 bowl of pho. I get it that prices have to increase over time because business pay inflated prices on rent, food, utilities just like we do but if everyone else can make it work for 10-20% less so can they especially on higher volumes.
Will have to check out Pho Anh Huyen on Center St. Driven & walked past it probably a million times. Looks absolutely disgusting from the outside haha
That's how you know it's good hahaThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

What's the best place in Calgary for bring your own pot pho? I've gotten BBH by the pot which is great but when I'm sick the spiciness of the broth isn't so great.
Never tried that joint because parking is a shit show between it and BBQ express next door.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Coconut milk in Satay is rare for Pho joints. Nha Hang a couple blocks down used to do it until restaurant ended when the mall got redeveloped.
Used to think this way too but I've learned a great rule of thumb. If the bathrooms are nice & clean the food will be too. It may be overlooked but its like a portal into the owners' psyche. If bathroom is nasty it means the restaurant is likely cutting corners everywhere else too. E.g. Major tom having perfectly pressured body temp water in faucets isThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Haha what’s the pho equivalent to major Tom? Lol
I don’t disagree tho. Washrooms at the Nash I like a lot. The Nash never fails me when I’m on a date

The hood is so good.
@msommers the BBQ Express beside PhoAnh is bomb
@Manhattan if you want BBH, the strip mall on 17th Ave SE Bun Bo Hue Deli is good
