Do they have gluten free options?

I'm no expert but if rice noodles and fish sauce are gluten free, their vermicelli bowls might be safe if you get them to avoid anything breaded on them.

Do they offer delivery??

Thank u

Price is higher than normal pho place but you know they use the real beef to make the soup. Worth it!

The food quality has degraded over the last year. They used to have excellent texture vermicelli and Pho offerings, but now the cuisine tastes like it is old and gritty. Maybe they are swapping for cheaper quality meat and noodles. Or maybe they just don't care as much as they used to.

I don't deviate much from simple pho, but it's as good as any other place I can easily drop in to. Always busy, always lots of happy eaters. Can't go wrong.

Price is right, yummy pho in St. Albert:)Only downside was that the female owner? doesn’t smile (maybe she was tired?) and her service was not the best, but then things like this usually happen at some Asian restaurants, so it’s all good as long as food is good:) (the male owner seems kind:))

I was served VERY quickly during a moderately busy lunch hour. The Pho was delicious, but the staff don't really talk. Which i like when eating, but i know some people like to be checked on. Bubble tea was sub-par, but overall i enjoyed eating here. Still cannot get over the pho!

My favourite Vietnamese restaurant (and probably one of the cleanest ones out there)! I always make the drive to St. Albert from Edmonton just to eat here. The food is always delicious and consistent. My personal favourite meal is a green onion cake and beef satay soup. The service is excellent as well.

We planned to go to the theatre tonight but needed to eat Vietnamese before going to the movies. Both of our usual places are quite a few minutes away. I remembered coming here with my babies after their paediatrician appointments so, we decided to stop in and try it again. The food was really good, the service was quick also pleasant, and the place was clean. It meets my needs as far as my expectations. It’s been a while since we came here and I’m glad we did.

Very clean, with gentle warm atmosphere. Much like the tardis it seems bigger on the inside. My only caution is language barrier. Got the spicy central soup and it came with thicker noodles despite the menu saying vermicelli. The owner promptly fixed it and the new soup looks superb. Would definitely suggest this place!

Loved the Beef Satay! It was a nice thick flavour packed broth that was more peanut sweet than overly spicy - definitely a new favourite!The staff were wonderful as we arrived about 40 minutes before close. The salad rolls were great and the 5 Colour Vermicelli was good. Definitely will be back!

Great food, big servings. The only negative thing I'll say is that there is one lady who loudly talks on her phone while taking orders at the till and doesnt really pay attention. I always make sure to repeat my order several times. But other then that, this is my go to for Vietnamese in st Albert!

I didn't get my first bowl, I gave a second chance for my second bowl and they ain't getting my third bowl!! I was hopeful for a better experience this time. My daughter and I waited 10 minutes to order and no service. We left, walking by an old women working there who could not cared less that we were leaving!

Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Asked the lady for some lime she looked at me and said “this one lime “ like I don’t know what lime looks like. I wish I can share a photo because I took a picture of the “lime” that she pointed at. Will never go back again and won’t recommend it to anyone !
