  • Having eaten at Pho 501 a total of three times now, I believe I have a fair opinion when it comes to the quality, service, and the vibe. This Vietnamese restaurant is located at the corner of Edmonton Trail and McKnight Boulevard, placed beside a Pizza 73. The inside is cozy and inviting, with several big booths for groups, as well as some 4 person tables. On each occasion, the hostess and servers were kind and accommodating. The food did not take long to come out, but enough to tell it was fresh. The place was pretty dead each time I went - no doubt the location plays a big part of that, as it's a little off the beaten path. Let's get to some delicious Vietnamese food! Starting with appetizers, the Shrimp & Beef Skewers were tasty and a delight! These tender bites are one of the best skewer appies I've had in years - plenty of flavour here! On another occasion, I opted for the Wonton Soup, which surprisingly - don't get me wrong, Vietnamese restaurants do their thing well, but rarely branch out to other cuisines - was very good, with what seemed like house-made wontons and a salty but balanced broth. For the mains, I need to get one point across - this is some of the best pho in Calgary! The cuts of beef came out perfectly raw and still a little thicker cut, rather than the flat, tasteless strips most places dish out. The broth was heavenly! The server was kind enough to ask if I wanted anything extra, such as more cilantro or limes, thus I need to give it A+ for service! Not quite hitting the mark of the pho was the Pork & Spring Rolls on Vermicelli. The noodles were very dry and sticky, the pork shreddings were a little too crispy for my taste, and the spring rolls had a distinct fatty residue that I have had at other Vietnamese restaurants and haven't particularly enjoyed. Stick to the soups here! On the last occasion, my girlfriend and I had the pleasure of sharing a dessert - fried bananas in a phyllo-like pastry, almost like spring rolls but with bananas inside. We were so full, but it was delicious and I've been meaning to try replicating this one at home. To wrap it up, there are few places in town that do pho quite like Pho 501. If you happen to be in this Northeast Calgary neighbourhood or on your way up Deerfoot, this restaurant is certainly worth a stop.
