Love Pho — Restaurant in Edmonton

Love pho? More like disappointment city pho. Will not be a returning customer. I ordered from here because of good reviews, but from what I tasted I’m actually in utter shock that this place has good reviews.

Veggie pho was too salty, and as far as veggies go it had about 4 mediocre size broccoli, 2 slices of carrots and a ton of celery, like waaaay to much celery, like if celery soup was ordered or still might have had to much celery. Booooooo.

As far as the bun goes it was quite possibly the worst bun I have experienced. (And I have ate a lot of bun at many different pho places in Edmonton, and abroad) It did have a lot of meat, but half of it was fat, 1/4 was over cooked and the other 1/4 was somewhat tasty, albeit overly salty. There was a small amount of lettuce and literally a pinch of shredded carrots, and 3 (yes 3) tiny (like very tiny) pieces of cucumber, which came with about 1/2 the amount of fish sauce you would get anywhere else.

As far as the salad rolls go meh at best, just noodle, meat and a small amount of lettuce. Like they should call them meat and noodle rolls , not salad rolls. The “sauce” to dip them in was nothing more than straight hoisin sauce with peanuts...

Terrible experience. Went here for the first time and will never go back! Ordered a pork salad roll and two rice dishes at this place and sat there for 40 mins waiting for our food. Four tables that arrived after us got their food and a took out order was placed 10 mins after ours that received his food and left. Asked the server that took our order why we still haven’t received our food? He replied I will check on your order and walked away. Instead of coming back and letting us know what was going on with our food he proceeded to serve other tables and ignore us. Finally we went to the front counter and asked for a manager. Told the manager our concern and she replied sorry sorry I will give you discount. Shortly after another server came out of the kitchen saying that she had our food. The food she was holding was not what we had ordered and was missing two dishes. We left without eating. We will never go back and definitely will not recommend this place to anyone! Hopefully anyone else doesn’t have to go...

Love Pho is the new modern Vietnamese restaurant in town! The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous. The tables have a nice granite finish, which is sleek. Everything is clean here as well, which should be expected of new restaurants.

I ordered the beef pho sate! The broth has sate sauce with peanuts in it! I recommend this dish to anyone who's looking for a bold and slightly spicy flavour. It's delicious and filling.

The service here is also amazing. Waiters and waitresses are attentive to your needs and constantly refill empty cups. Wanted to extend a special thanks to Kathy and Brian for the hospitality.

I wish Love Pho was closer to home (I live Northside), but even then, it's definitely worth the drive down! Superb experience.

Edit: Came back here again and used the washroom for the first time. Clean washrooms with automatic lights, flush, and it's beautifully decorated. If restaurants are able to keep washrooms clean, you know they handle food...
