Pho Hoai Vietnamese Noodle House - Calgary, Alberta

In search of a good Vietnamese restaurant we found this hidden gem. Let’s start with the food. We ordered spring rolls, a hot soup and one of their special signature bowls with chicken. The food was awesome. They first served us with hot green tea and a plate of sprouts which ... was a nice touch. The food was served very fast and we enjoyed the quality. It was so good that I ordered a bowl of soup to take with me home. What needs improvement? Probably having chilli in oil sauce, asking if we needed a fork ( not everyone is comfortable with chopsticks) and checking with us if we needed anything else. What I didn’t like? The mirrors were dirty, the whole restaurant can benefit a little cleaning and better lighting. Read more

I went for lunch. This is a very good restaurant located in China town. we had calamari and beef chow mein with vegetables. Both dishes were absolutely great. We have been here many times and will continue going there whenever we are downtown.

The restaurant has a wonderfully authentic atmosphere, reminiscent of somewhere in Vietnam. The extra-large portions here are huge, easily enough for three people. And the prices are quite reasonable.

This is my husband’s favourite pho spot for the past 25+years. He has tried many other places but still says their satay beef pho is a 10/10 and the next closest has been an 8! So we come back when we can for his birthday. I tried the veggie ... version and it was nice. Salad rolls were OK but not great tea comes as soon as you sit down which is nice. Read more

Top notch Vietnamese food. Large portions and a little higher priced but you get what you pay for. Certainly not a great atmosphere but the service was very attentive, they brought out the salad rolls immediately and the main dishes were out about 5 min later. Kept the water full ... and the taste was so so good. Read more
