I ordered Vietnamese Beef Stew Rice Noodles. The soup is outstanding which comes with many meats and carrots.It is one of the best Pho in Calgary. Their new shop on 17 ave has better atmosphere than their old shop on Madra Loop.In additionally, don’t forget to grab your glass of water. The water using in the shop is not ordinary filtered tape. They installed a Japanese water system— Enagic Kagan Water.
Had my first Beef Sate soup here. I don’t have any comparison, but it’s undoubtedly a hearty soup that has very generous portions of meat!Came back twice more and tried their pho and vermicelli which were excellent as well.Service is very quick and friendly - not something you’d expect in other Viet restaurants in the city.This will be my undisputed number one spot anytime I’m craving Viet cuisine!
Extremely kind staff, fast service, and yummy food. The meet was so tender and the broth was so rich. They also gave us some of the banana spring rolls on the house :)
I used to really love this place but unfortunately it seems like it's gone a little bit downhill.The prices have skyrocketed but the quality has gotten worse.The meat in the soup is very fatty. The soup itself has great flavor. Noodles incredibly overcooked basically mush.I used to love the shrimp salad rolls, however they were completely bland and they changed the recipe of their peanut sauce. It's very vinegary and thin whereas before it was more thick and creamy peanut flavor.And to top it all off they charge me two extra dollars for a couple extra packets of hoisin sauce
I’m Vietnamese and have tried many pho spots in Calgary looking for a taste that truly reminds me of home — and Nho SaiGon is by far the best! The portions are generous, and the broth is incredibly rich and flavourful. Their menu offers a wide variety of authentic dishes, and the service is always attentive and friendly. Highly recommended for anyone craving real Vietnamese pho!

This is my all time favourite place to get pho in Calgary! Started going here when I was a child, when they were located in marda loop and then stopped, a few months ago my husband and I were looking for a good place to go on a pho date, I remembered how good this place was and suggested we go here. We were both astonished by the atmosphere! The workers were so incredibly friendly and the food was top tier!
This is our favorite place for Sate Beef Pho , it’s the creamiest , and lots of peanuts and flavor! It’s not just pho with a spoon of chili oil on top like a lot of other places. The other food is good too , but 9 out of 10 times we get this soup because it’s amazing.
Amazing spicy sate beef soup!! It has a thicker texture to the broth which made it incredible. My new go to place in the city. Check them out!
Some friends were talking about a amazing Vietnam restaurant in a group. After a night, I can't wait anymore and drive to here. Following the advice of my friends , choice No 15 and 13 with extra Vietnam coffee. There are some special deep-fry Ground peanuts in the soup. Never try it in other Vietnam restaurant. it's amazing taste. Everyone should try it.
