Pho Anh Sang Restaurant — Restaurant in St. Albert

I won’t ever go back to this restaurant

It is run by an old Vietnamese couple and it looks really “authentic” Asian. (As in bright lights, dirty windows, clutter.

I was excited… I thought maybe I had finally found something Authentic in Saint Albert. It would have been a welcome change from all the fast food that dominates the landscape in Saint Albert.

Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the food.

I ordered the satay soup. Satay is typically a rich peanut sauce that originated in Indonesia. Usually the beef is grilled and on a skewer. I was expecting a soup with a rich aromatic flavor of peanuts and spice. But what I got appeared to be just a bowl of bland pho. It was just the typical noodles and some boiled shavings of beef. It wasn’t worth almost $17!

My child ordered the meatball soup which was really a small bowl for $7.40

I also ordered grilled beef on rice which was almost $16. The portion size was extremely small. It was perhaps 400 ml of cooked rice with perhaps 150 g of beef that didn’t even look grilled. It looked like they just fried it in a pan. There were a couple pieces of lettuce on the side. Really?? $16 for THIS?

Wow

My family and I recently visited Pho Anh Sang for the first time, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy, inviting atmosphere.

The star of the meal was, of course, their Pho—the broth was rich, aromatic, and full of depth, clearly simmered to perfection. The noodles were fresh, and the portions were generous, loaded with tender beef (or chicken, if you prefer). We also tried their Vietnamese Spring Rolls, which were crispy on the outside and packed with flavorful fillings.

The service was friendly and attentive, making our first visit feel welcoming. The restaurant itself was clean and had a charming, authentic vibe.

Located conveniently on McKenny Ave, Pho Anh Sang is a gem we’ll definitely return to. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious, comforting...

I regularly pick up SkipTheDishes orders from this restaurant and have noticed a consistent issue. I’ve asked to use the washroom, I’ve been told it is not working, yet I see customers being allowed to use it. This creates an impression that delivery drivers are not valued the same way as customers. In reality, drivers also support the business and could very well be customers in the future. It would reflect much better on the restaurant if all individuals were treated with equal respect and...
