Was in Calgary for the weekend and wanted to try the pho fare there. This place is highly rated in Yelp.
The commute from downtown was long but I figured it would be worth it. I was wrong.
The decor is typical of a Vietnamese restaurant. Service was quick.
I ordered a large #1 pho and quickly realized that it was off:
- the large size was the same size as regular in most other pho places I've been to.
- the broth lacked richness and a spice profile
- the noodles were stiff and undercooked
- the tendon was underhydrated, gristly, and chewy
To add to that, the lemonade soda was too small and mostly ice.
If you want consistently good pho, I would go somewhere else.
If you've had Pho Tau Bay in Edmonton, you would know what I mean.
