    I've been having very inconsistent Pho experiences lately.

    Mind you I've been going to mostly south suburban ones (Pho Hoan Pasteur, Tini, Hong An, Sen, Pho Chu The, Pho So 1)

    But also Bow River (on elbow) Qyuhn in the NE, Pho Houng Viet near Westbrook mall, Bagolac near Chinook, Pho 26 17th SE. Some days good, mostly meh, less meat, less noodles, charging 2x for sate on side and overall price increases

    Have you ever tried the pho at Pho Thanh Nga? I honestly think they messed it up and gave us plain chicken stock from the grocery store haha. Maybe should give them a second chance.

    Our go to is Hong An for something close. Pho Hoan Pasteur is usually decent too, totally different broth taste but still usually really good.

    It's been consistent, the sate is always good but I've never been a huge fan of the regular pho broth.

    Actually I gotta give a quick mention to Saigon maxim riverbend. Those guys work really hard and the food is awesome.

    Saigon Rex (old owners of maxim) should be pretty good in the nw.

    Pho Hoai #15 is Lyfe.
    I'm told they sell other items. I'll never know.

    Had to google them to confirm it wasn’t OG Pho Thanh in hunterhorn. Clearly not affiliated as pho thanh is bomb.

    You know there’s way too many pho spots in the city when names start getting recycled with an extra word at the end lol

    Pho Ann works for me. I like that place a lot.

    Also love Pho haoi in Chinatown of I'm down there. Never disappoints unless you aren't ready to order when the drill Sargent comes to take your order. Then you bring shame to your whole family.

    Or expansion from current owners or switching to franchise model. There is at least 2 Pho Tai in the NW and 4 Pho Hoan Pasteur in the city.

    And if you ask for one of their 100ml cups of water... this also disgusts him

    Pho really is the quintessential Calgary dish. It's the only one we do well.

    Got a chance to try Pure today and while the sate isn't very spicy, it sure is tasty and they didn't skimp on the beef!
