10/10 food service and quality here in SW Calgary. Literally the best Vietnamese spot in calgary! Service is amazing and attentive, the dining area is clean and spacious. And I love the beef satay pho. I eat here all the time it’s the best!

We had a great experience at pho express! The prices were reasonable and portions were huge and everything was delicious! I especially loved the spring rolls, so crispy and flavourful! My mom loved the spicy Thai satay noodles as it’s hard to find a place that does it with seafood. Also not pictured but the salted coffee is SO GOOD! Highly recommend. And we also got 2 chicken banh mi for take out because it was that good we will be back!!

The beef satay was okay, like many other restaurants it is simply their regular soup with some satay paste.
The pork chop with rice was very disappointing. We were expecting to get a whole piece of pork chop, but got some thinly sliced, dry and almost no flavour pieces of pork. The rice had too much moisture and the fish sauce didn’t taste very good. Even my 5 years old was like “it doesn’t taste good, I need some ketchup please”. We definitely won’t be rushing back as there are many other good options around.

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

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.

Pho at this location is excellent. I’ve been trying out Pho places around town and this is one of the best I can find.
I visit this restaurant every weekend…

The food here is vey good and the service is quick. The place has a cafe/dinner feel to it. We go here several times a year for an inexpensive meal out.

It is a family owned and operated restaurant with awesome people working within. As much as I like going to different places, I will always find myself coming back. Their standard beef noodle is my go-to but I have also had their vegetarian options, spring rolls, rice dishes, and subs. Highly recommended for great food and amazing service.
