So delicious. My husband and I each had the pho satay, and got a beef ball soup for my girls to split. Also had an order of spring rolls and a couple of mango bubble teas. We are all leaving wonderfully satisfied. Best pho we've had.

I don't venture into this area often. Well because i never had a reason to until i visited Pho Dau Bo.
I have eaten a lot of pho in my life and i find their Pho Sate to be the best in the city. Basil's is the second best.
However i have to warn you that most of the friends i bring there have their lips turning red once they start digging into their Pho Sate so be forewarned that it may be too spicy for the ones who cannot take too much spice.
I've tried their Vermicelli, Spring rolls and salad rolls and those are decent as well however I would say their most popular dish is the Pho Sate.
Service is decent, you get your water and tea and pay when you're done eating. Not bad!
Definitely worth venturing into Forest Lawn to check out! Enjoy! -

YUM! Vietnamese is all about the Pho, really the broth. This is where the Pho Sate is at! The service is fast and courteous what more can you ask for? The only Sate that I think rivals it is the Sate at Saigon Passion in the NE, but it's a different kind of sate.
Pho Dau Bo's sate is sweet, spicy and hearty, if you finish the bowl and don't feel like rollin out, you win. Delicious. -

I only come here for one thing only and it's the beef sate pho. The best I've ever have anywhere. I could taste the coconut milk so I think that's what makes it so much different and better here than other restaurant's sate pho. The only problem I have is they don't put enough meat in it lol I've tried some other dishes on the menu like the normal version without sate and the rice, they were just okay.

I love Vietnamese food! I've been to Pho Dau Bo twice. They are the fastest Viet restaurant I've ever been to! The bun with pork and spring rolls is very tasty and fresh. I also like their satay soup with chicken (I get it without noodles & with extra veggies). It's very hot and spicy. It's great but not what I'm used to for satay soup. It's not peanuty at all. Regardless, this is a great stop for a fast and delicious lunch.

If you want vermicelli then go to any restaurant that has it. They all taste the same to me. But pho...you can't mess that up because it makes or breaks you. There's only a handful of pho restaurants in Calgary that impresses me and this is one of them.
First off, yeah this place is in the ghetto but the best Pho in town are in the ghetto. This isn't your typical ghetto pho restaurant though. The place is clean and modern which is a bonus but I'm here for food and I could care less if they have nice lighting fixtures. Still though, it's nice to go to a clean and modern place. 1 star for that.
I recommend their Pho Satay but you can't go wrong with any pho. The soup is hot (I hate warm soup where it doesn't cook the raw beef) and the vegetables are fresh. The spring rolls here are great too so don't pass that up. 2 stars for good food.
The service is your typical - here's your food, see you when you're done type of service. That's fine by me. I'm at a pho restaurant. Bring me my food without your finger in my soup and I'm fine. 1 star.
Would I come back? hell yeah!!!..1 star...
Total 5 stars! -

I pity the 'pho who hasn't yet eaten at Pho Dau Bo. Don't let the fact that it's in Forest Lawn keep you away. Mr. T wouldn't. Just keep it to daylight hours.
Fast and friendly service and quality food, this spot is a palate pleaser for sure. With a simple and modern interior and plenty of seating, you can be assured of a lovely lunch and still be back at your desk well within your lunch hour.Listed in: W-list Picks For Calgary…

I am not big into soups, but love lemon grass chicken dish, and this is the best I've found in the city.
Service is always fast, they're very friendly and remember what you like when you come back... :) -
Review from Gavin O.

I don't know how anyone could give this less than full marks (other than the obvious answer of just clicking on another value) because this place truly is as good as it gets. The Pho Sate soup is great, a nice big bowl of spicy soup can easily be ruined in several ways, as I've experienced at other "Pho" restaurants trying to change things up by adding things to it... These guys add one simple secret ingredient that makes it stand out from all the others, without bringing everything crashing down.
The Pho isn't the only reason to come, as they also have the usual Viet fare, some of which I've tried, and quite enjoyed, but honestly, I go every week, and get the exact same order every time... Large beef Pho Sate, salad rolls with shrimp, and Iced Viet coffee with milk... Sometimes I'll add extra beef to the soup, but other than that, it's always the same, and they know me for it. -

I love this place - it's my #1 pick for Vietnamese in the city. The food is good, the service is fast, the decor is nice & modern, which seems to be a rarity for small asian restaurants. I always bring people to eat here. They are always surprised at how nice it is (decor-wise) and how good the food is. It's a gem in Forest Lawn.

The best tasting Pho Noodle Soup in Cow Town!
Me and my family always have Pho here for many years and we love it, they are always consistent with the taste. it's locate in the Little Saigon Square and parking is not hard to find compare to downtown.
Its a must try!
