Pho and Bun is the kind of neighbourhood restaurant I usually love.
However after 2 separate visits about a year apart, I have to say both meals suffered from a distinct lack of flavour.
The first visit included more typical asian takeout items, and our group of 3 all found our selections on the bland side.
The second time I decided to try the Pho, based on reviews. It fared the same as the takeout. I was hoping for a rich, flavourful broth, but the liquid was to broth as vitamin water is to juice... which is to say its closer to water than what its supposed to be.
Granted, I don't profess to be an expert on the intricacies of a good Pho, but I'm thinking delicious broth is paramount. And that is exactly where this one falters. -

Just down the road from house I came across this place. The staff is fantastic family owned family run. The food is really good too. Everytime I go I get the War Wonton Soup and well its the best the city has the offer...huge dumplings and shrimp. The rice is quite addicting too. The portions are your avergae sizes and prices compete with all. I cant recall but they are closed one random day that seems kinda off. I am moving but I will make the drive back here for my next oriental style dish craving.

Mmm this is one of Edmonton's best kept secrets! A cozy, clean and family run business that is excellent for takeout and to sit down. It may look like a hole in the wall but it is definitely not. I highly recommend the War Wonton soup! Tasty broth filled with massive dumplings huge shrimps and thick slices of beef with some veggies, the perfect comfort food for a chilly Edmonton day. The shrimp fried rice is the probably the best rice I have ever had, sometimes I get cravings for it and must have it! nom nom nom...
The decor is simple and eclectic with pictures of foreign places and delicious food. This place is definitely nothing fancy or 5 star but it is great for just hanging out or taking a date for good food at a very good price. There is also tons of parking so that is never a problem.
The only complaint I have is when dealing with the owners teenage kids who also work there, who can sometimes be slightly rude and make you feel rushed. At one time my boyfriend was calling in an order for pickup and the kid taking the order was putting his hand over the phone and saying "I can't understand this guy! What is he saying? OMG!", I think he thought we couldn't hear him ha ha ha.
Check it out, you will not be disappointed, they also have many signature dishes such as the peach shrimp, which are excellent! -

Nice family-run place with good food. I really like that the kitchen is wide open and spotlessly clean. I always have the vermicelli with grilled meat which is very nice. The shrimp with peaches and salad sauce in a rich indulgence.

My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Edmonton! The classic mom & pop business where the food is very fresh and clean. I recommend the pho or one of the vermicelli bowls.

Every so often, I visit a restaurant that I wish I could take home with me. Pho and Bun makes me wish I could fold the place up and keep it in my back pocket to be unleashed when a craving for wonderful Pho hits.
There is a lot to enjoy here. First, though it doesn't look like it from the outside, the inside is very clean. Secondly, the food is excellent. I ordered the salad rolls and the Seafood Pho with Beef. The broth was delicious, a perfect balance between subtle and flavourful. It was spicy enough to have bite, but not so much that you sweat like an animal. I was also surprised that the veggies that accompanied the soup were fresh. There were no black splotches on the leaves that some places have. The salad rolls were also fresh and soft and went perfectly with the accompanying peanut sauce. Thirdly, I really enjoyed the atmosphere. The gentle orange colour of the place gave it a warm feel. This place is owned by a single family. You can tell because there is a old picture on the wall of the family when the restaurant first opened and your servers are the kids in that picture. You can also see the family working away in the kitchen. This "Mom and Pop" feel really brings Pho and Bun a lot of charm. The service was excellent and friendly, I really felt at home here.
Will be back very soon!Listed in: Deadly Pho

again reacted to the ravings in yelp and decided to
try out a new place.
its not much of a place. very plain decor. but a strong
lunch crowd. we tried both pho, bun, and a couple
chinese samosas. i did like the samosas they were a
good twist and easier to eat because they were rolled
up like spring rolls. for fried food i thought they took a
little long though because our entrees got to our tables
pretty much at the same time. i would like a little time in
between.
the pho....they were good but kind of plain to me. i don't
know maybe the bun was just so spicy/sweet that it
got to my palettes... but overall i still wanted a little more
salt in most dishes.
the service was minimal but friendly and overall pleasant.
also, their menu might bring me back for another lunch,
but as far as pho goes,i like pho hoa more for now.
