| - After a quick shopping trip in Deerfoot Meadows my fiancé and I needed to sneak in a quick dinner before heading DT for the evening. We conveniently saw "Le's Pho", looks like just "PHO - Vietnamese Cuisine & Grill" from a distance as the "Le's" is squeezed under the bowl in the sign hehe. I quickly checked some reviews online and it looked decent enough. We both love Viet and it had been a while, so we decided to give it a go.
We were quickly greeted and seated upon entering, I wasn't a big fan of how we were seated right next to another table where they had a bunch of empty tables throughout the restaurant but it didn't bug me enough to make a point about it. It's decently sized inside despite looking small from the outside, the décor is pretty plan and simple. It was fairly quiet when we got there but it looks like they can seat a fair bit of people.
When it comes to Viet food we both usually have our go-to choices, I'll get some form of pho and she'll get vermicelli w/ spring Rolls. So we didn't really navigate the menu for more than a minute or so. I did deviate a bit and opt for a chicken satay pho rather than my usual rare sliced beef as I figured the chicken would work better with my current diet. Despite chicken being healthier I wasn't too excited for it since chicken I've had in previous pho orders (at other places) has been a bit "icky" and unappealing. The chicken satay pho at Le's Pho was a definite exception, the chicken itself appeared to be very thinly sliced chicken breast; it was very clean and looked well prepared. Much better than I was expecting! I was also quite impressed with the satay broth it was the right balance of spiciness and flavour, one of the better broths I've had in the city. My fiancé's vermicelli and spring rolls was well prepared and pretty much on par with most places, she was happy with the order. We did like how they cut up the spring rolls and put them around the exterior of the bowl rather than clumping them, burying them or putting the whole roll in.
For service I'll be honest, I have extremely low expectations when it comes to service at Vietnamese restaurants. I treat these as more of a fast food type restaurant rather than a formal sit-down restaurant, since you pay at the register rather than at the table at most places, I think this is fair to say. That being said my only real expectations are that the food comes out quick and we get drink service/refills, anything else is bonus. Our order came out super quick as expected, we got our water, just no refills :(. All in all it was a good experience though, the food is good, service and establishment is adequate and the price is right. If I'm in Deerfoot Meadows again and craving Pho I'll be back, but given the odd location I don't see myself going out of my way to come back for my next Viet craving.
