This might be the best pho that I have ever had. Delicious broth in the P1 Pho Dac Biet Everything special, and the B7 Bun Xao Sa Lemongrass vermicelli bowl was delicious as well. We try a whole bunch of different places all over in different cities, and this is at the top. A little surprising given it's a student heavy area with price limitations, although it definitely is on the pricer side of Vietnamese restaurants. Maybe there is something to it then. Don't expect swanky decor or white glove service, so not really a first date night location. It's all functional, but then that's what you would want right?

Great pho served here- the broth, noodles, meat portions are all perfect! Small family-owned restaurant- I can see the effort put into everything. Regardless of the server, they are always happy to serve me my extra limes that I like so much. Their menu also has more than pho- I love their lemongrass beef noodle soup!

A very small outlet located on the back of Burger King in the plaza. Really nice and warm service. We ordered L size bowl each and shrimp rolls and it was delicious. The pho had the right amount of flavour and broth was very comforting. The best part was loads of different kind of meats. Their shrimp roll was fantastic too. The owners/workers are very friendly.

Pretty solid pho spot! Prices are quite pricey for a Vietnamese spot and also for the amount of food you get, so had to dock a star for that. I got the pork and spring roll vermicelli noodles and really enjoyed it. Service was nice as well.

Excellent food and service! Great place for Vietnamese food! Everything Special is a good start! Must order the Crispy Pork Spring Rolls! Try the Fruit Shakes and you will like it! Personally the Spicy Sate Beef Noodle Soup is the best! Forgot to take photos because they look so yummy!!

I’ve been here a few times with friends for Vietnamese pho, and the food quality has always been consistently great. I highly recommend adding the complimentary raw bean sprouts into the hot broth—it adds an extra layer of texture to your pho.

IPHO-reaking like this place! Honestly it is alright, the pho is alright, the bun Bo hue is good - I've never tried BBH before so I'm not sure how it compares but it was flavourful - and the location is nice. The service is also great, our server was very kind and the water tastes good. Also the washroom is well kept. Overall, Pho Dau Bo is still the greatest but if you are in need of an emergency pho near campus, this is the spot.

So so delicious, the broth was super flavourful, and the portion was large and very well priced. Service was also great and super friendly and quick! Literally wouldn’t change a thing. I also had the spring rolls and my partner had the rice and chicken dish. Both of us loved our food. Thank you for the experience!
