Hands down the best Pho in Edmonton, and far and away better than any bowl of soup I've had in Vancouver, Toronto, NYC, Calgary, or Montreal. I've been coming here for 10 years and I've tried almost every other wannabe Pho restaurant in Edmonton (most are Vietnamese restaurants, this is a true Pho restaurant with ONLY soup on the menu). Broth is CLEAR, balanced, and absolutely full of deep beef flavour. Not too sweet, not too much fish sauce, and the spices aren't overpowering the beef flavour. Noodles are good quality and keep their texture, veggies are always fresh, and they usually provide lime over lemon wedges. Delicious homemade chili oil if you're into that, but I prefer to ask for a Thai chili pepper. All the meat is well seasoned and perfectly cooked (ie. the tendon is actually tender). This place is absolutely legendary, and is the bar I measure all other Pho by. I hope this place never...
Read moreTau Bay is a one of a kind place where they specialize in soups and they are phenomenal. I've had plenty of really good pho around Edmonton but Tau Bay is on another level that nobody else can compare to. I've been a long time customer since they used to be on 107ave and 113st and their pho hits just right every single time since I've first discovered them. If there's a list of must try places in western Canada, Tau Bay better be on it. I'm not sure how to describe how delicious their pho is. I find each bowl to be perfectly balanced with meat, noodles and their umami rich broth. You are free to add hoisin, bean sprouts, hot sauce and a squeeze of lime if that's your preference but I like to enjoy it as is with one thai chili for a bit of heat. The broth alone is heavenly. Please note that it's soup only with beverages and some desserts. They take only cash or...
Read moreTau Bay serves only Pho, they don't even offer spring rolls as a side. Their menu is focused on producing quality Pho and that's it and that's exactly what they do. I first went here 10 years ago? with some friends of mine and I've been back every now and then to enjoy their Pho. On my last trip I tried their Lemon Coke, which is basically a can of coke served with a glass that has ice and lemon juice? in it. Just add the coke yourself and its pretty tasty. I will say their Pho is delicious however the last time I was there the amount of meat I got was not much. I do wish they offered Vietnamese spring rolls, they are super delicious. Also they didn't have any chili oil for free (Think I had to pay extra for it???), that and the low amount of meat stopped it from...
