Best Pho in edmonton

[Frostiex]

Any how, I am gonna be unlucky enough to have to head to edmonton next week. I have heard someone said there is this supposedly best Pho place even topping Pho Dau Bo in Calgary (my fav)...is it true?

I would like to try it out and compare....beef sate is my fav...

[GQBalla]

thanh thanh noodle house has some pretty fucken good beef sate.

but the whole place is pretty white washed. Servings are small but their sate i find is better than dau bo's

Pagolac I try to go there at least twice a week.

There is no such thing as BEST PHO in Edmonton, well compared to Calgary. I've had Pho at Noodle 42 in Clareview, complete garbage, the broth tastes sweet and too much licorice (star anise) flavoring , also had pho inside that place in T & T

Haven't tried Pagolac yet

Pagolac!! Best pho!

However, don't expect good service and cleanliness...

Sounds like a typical great tasting Asian restaurant

My fave is La Pagode on 170st & 90ave. It's in a strip mall outside of WEM in the same parking lot of McDicks & BP's.

x2... but... the Pho Hoa in South Common isn't as good as downtown... broth is weak, stingy on the veggies, and sprouts are never fresh. Pho Tau Bay is the best, but they have poor ventilation... you will smell like nutmeg and onions when you leave.

He's already in Edmonton, I think the cleanliness part goes without saying.

You know how you can bring your own pot and buy Pho in bulk @ 17ave (ie $20 worth)... anyone know of a similar place in Edm?

I think a few places on 17ave SW do it but I go to the one in the same mall as Noodle World.. something something Hue. it's a little place inside the mall.

I actually picked up a pot today to bring it back to Edm. You tell them how much you want ( ie $20, $25, $40.. etc or how many ppl you are trying to feed) and they will fill your pot with soup and meat, and give you a crap load of noodles, bean sprouts, limes, etc in a separate bag. its pretty epic

I bought $20 today and there are probably 6+ bowls worth.

Are you sure it's pho? I think you might be talking about bun bo Hue. My mom used to buy from that lady and bring back the giant bucket when we finished. We used to buy the sate sauce from her too. If you brought in like 5 empty glass jars she would discount you on the sauce. This was probably ~4-5 years ago so things may have changed and I may be wrong. I think my aunt bought from her 2 years ago, though.

^^ oh yeh sorry not Pho, but the other type of noodle. But yes it's Bun Bo Hue.

Sorry to me Vietnamese noodle = Pho ;(
