Pho Phuong Vietnamese Cuisine — Restaurant in Calgary

I had the craving for a Vietnamese Sub and found this little place close to home. Boy was I disappointed! Where do I begin with this? It was DRY, so dry. Not only was the bun not toasted, but there was hardly any chicken in there at all! There was no mayo (sort of a must have in Banh Mi)!!! The pickled carrots were NOT pickled. They tasted like they came straight out of a bag and put on the sub. Iceberg Lettuce??? Why was there lettuce in my sub? The owners of this place should check out Thi Thi's! That was what I was craving and got nowhere near the same value. I also ordered the Chicken Stir Fry for my Wife and that was also flavourless and DRY. The veggies in the stir-fry were obviously frozen and just reheated for 10 minutes. I literally put the whole thing in a Wok to try and make it better and added more flavours to it. Sadly it still tasted like a bagged stir fry with really dry chicken. I know times are tough for small businesses, and I hate to give this a bad review but I feel like I wasted...

We've been ordering online and dine in here for about 4 years now. We like the pho beef and chicken satay (peanut). Couple Months ago we ordered the same thing and it was not good, for the first time it has different taste and had stomach pain I called to let them know and we still order anyway (not soup).

Today, we had lunch and we order beef vermicille it was fresh and good. After we ate the owner came out and asked hows everything etc. We said it was good. He then told us about what happened months ago. And that explains why I had issue with their soup. (They hired new person in the kitchen) Few people called and complain the food, the taste etc. So he decided to come back and work in the kitchen so he can prepare the food by himself for the costumer. Give it a try again you guys! Wishing this restaurant be known again with their yummy and tasty...

Post-pandemic update: still my favorite place for pho in Calgary! The satay beef is still excellent, and with more spice than I remember. Highly recommend this place! Keep it in business!

I was very pleasantly surprised by how good the satay pho is here. The extra large portion was incredibly generous, and for once so big that I couldn't finish it even though I always finish the largest bowls at other pho restaurants. The soup was beefy and fragrant with a good satay spice level and a hint of peanut. Meat portion is very generous and served rare in the broth and so cooked to the perfect tenderness. On my second visit I tried the deluxe plain beef pho. The broth was on the sweet side though extremely fragrant. Portion was extremely generous and the beef very tender. I will be a regular...
