Pho Express - Calgary, Alberta

Pho Express offers a wonderful dining experience with its nice ambiance and delicious food. The flavors are authentic and the atmosphere is welcoming.

We have been coming here for over 10 years, and have had several different dishes. All are delicious. I find the staff very friendly and also quite accommodating. They feel like family to us. Thank you Pho Express for your excellent service.

I ordered the Satay Beef soup on an overcast day at lunch in the otherwise empty restaurant. The food came extremely quickly and was accompanied by a small plate of bean sprouts, some basil leaves, and a small wedge of lime. Overall, the restaurant seemed quite clean, and although ... it wasn't particularly well lit, there was more than enough light to see clearly. The service was very fast, efficient and quietly professional. I paid $15 plus GST and tip. Some specific notes: Food: I found the soup to be bland like some other reviewers also have, but that's not a bad thing. It might represent a home-style version of pho or it might be the chef's interpretation, or it might be highlighting the overuse of salt and sugar in other versions. I just added some hot sauce and a splash of soya from the bottles on the table to kick it up a bit. The bean sprouts were fresh, crispy and cool while the basil was also clean and fresh, and the lime portion (while small) was juicy and lent just the right citrus tang to the dish. Service: During my visit, an older Caucasian man arrived and made some vaguely rude comments bordering on racist, which were handled with gentle professionalism by the wait staff. Kudos to you for your patience and kindness towards foolish and poorly mannered patrons. Portion size: while I don't have any objective proof of this, I found the portion size to be a bit larger than some other places, so size-for-your-buck is pretty good. Overall, while it won't change your life or the way you look at food, it's a solid meal for a decent price with above average service. Would recommend. Read more

Great pho. Owners are very nice and friendly. I have been here lots, and have always had great food. Definitely a hidden gem in Calgary like what others are saying.

First time dining here ! We ordered 2 beef Pho. We got pho which had cow stomach and other parts of the cow, the smell was so bad. I request to get it changed as I didn’t know it comes with cow stomach. I was told No and we didn’t ... eat it and we paid in full. Absolutely no customer service very rude! Don’t recommend at all Read more
