  We grabbed dinner to go and it was quick (5 min from ordering). The service was friendly and efficient.
  
  The vermicelli and rice dishes were very standard. Not the best Vietnamese food I've had in Edmonton but edible and at reasonable prices. The vermicelli was really sticky and ended up in one large block and the pork was hit and miss in terms of texture, with some extra chewy pieces.
  
  I understand this is no longer a chain restaurant but it definitely still has that feel and the food to match. If you're looking to fuel your hunger in a hurry Pho may meet your needs but with so many great Vietnamese restaurant choices it's hard to compete.

  Love the food here it's simple and tasty. You definitely get your money's worth. The regular is like a large. Got a great deal with their combo option. Pho with steak and meatballs & spring rolls with a beverage. Ate here with a group of friends and was full by the end of our meal. It appears to be kid friendly not sure if they got booster seats though. Atmosphere is well lit, staff is friendly, parking is cramped but if you scout long enough you can get a parking spot. I do believe they do take out which saves you time to come down here yourself or you can get skipthedishes. Best times to go are usually after or before meal times. Plenty of dining space when not busy or on a regular weekday.  Would definitely recommend this place for anyone who loves pho or soup in general.

  I would give this restaurant 3 stars but the dishes are filthy.  Not just stained but actual filth that you can scrape  with your spoon.  I found that rather revolting and mentioned it.  The restaurant just said it is an issue with the new bowls.  I understand that they are difficult to clean but they clear can be cleaned with a little effort.  Anyway, if dirty dishes gross you out, this restaurant is not for you.
  
  That being said, the pho was pretty good though the noodles are mushy.  The broth was good, price reasonable-ish, meat portion above average (except very stingy with tendon).  This is my second time eating at this chain with mushy noodles so might not be a one off issue.  The price is a bit cheaper than some others but they charge for tea so I would say comparable.   If you don't like tea, this is a good deal.  Plus they have a nice combo: soup, green onion cake and a pop for $15.
  
  Restaurant has a nice feel inside but booths are run down with worn and dirty benches.  
  
  Service prompt with order and food delivery but after that good luck. We tried multiple times to get our waiters attention without success.  
  
  It had a reasonable lunch timr crowd so it clearly has a good local following.

  Since becoming Pho from Pho Hua, it's been going downhill. I'm a takeout regular and the portion has gotten smaller and smaller. They only charge a large when you order to go and it is gotten so small I have to say something. It is no longer good value for money, will be looking for another place from now on.

  My friends and I came here for some pho the other day. It's pretty good, although I'm certainly no pho expert. The restaurant is casual, and was quite busy when we were there, but we got a seat early.
  
  I got the lunch combo which comes with a green onion cake (or two spring rolls), a large bowl of pho (not the specialty ones), and a pop for $13.95. The green onion cakes (with the sweet chili dipping sauce) were delicious. The pho was really good too, and a large bowl is huge. I only ate about half my pho - there was so much. I got the brisket, and I do wish that they brought out the toppings for it. There is chili paste and fish sauce (and siracha) on the table, but if you want bean spouts, lime, or basil for your pho you have to ask for it. I guess asking for the toppings prevents possible waste, but there's no charge for these toppings if you want them (at least not that I found).
  
  My one friend got the lemongrass beef with double meat and for double meat there wasn't a lot, but he didn't complain so maybe they got it right.
  
  For under $18 with tax and tip I basically got two meals. This isn't the best pho I've ever head, but it's pretty good. If you're on the southside this is an all right place to stop for pho.
