Pho Dau Bo

I ordered the Pho with beef slices and beef balls. I received my meal within 5 minutes. Very quick service!

The noodles in my bowl were all broken and cut up into pieces like macaroni elbow noodles. I'm pretty sure they shouldn't be like that since I've been here a few times already. I spoke to the waitress and they told me it shouldn't be like so she took the soup away and she'll let the owner know owner know about the situation. The owner confronted us and refused to exchange the soup because "there's nothing wrong with it", which the waitress and I thought otherwise. He also demanded that we pay for the soup that they took back and then proceeded to raise his voice and start yelling at us for refusing to accept our order. I didn't know what to do at this point so I calmly asked him to go back and bring out our soup. Once he was at the back. My wife and I left the restaurant.

Nevar again am I coming back there. I've never met such rude restaurant operators before.

Maybe our take-out experience would have been better if this place put a menu online. I don't know how a take out restaurant survives in 2011 without any web presence. Anyways...

We ordered 2 vegetarian pad thais, and vegetarian spring rolls. I asked the girl on the phone if they made green curry, she said no, but they could do yellow curry with tofu on rice. Sounded good to me.

It wasn't. It was chinese fried vegetable rice (the veggies consisting of Green Giant cubed carrot and pea mix) with some fried tofu. My wife called to complain of this, and we were first told that the restaurant doesn't sell curry (??) then the curry in the dish I received was "fried into it" - The cost for my "rice creation" was $9. The restaurant offered no future discount or credit, and did not apologize.

As for the Pad Thai: not bad, but not the best we've had in the area, especially at the $9.50 price.

Live and learn... Next time we want beef tripe soup (never), maybe we'll give Pho Dau Bo another shot. Until then, there are better Viet & Thai restaurants in the area that actually know what a thai curry is.

Ordered a pho and cold bubble tea with "less ice". Instead of a full cup, I was given half a cup of bubble tea (warm). I've ordered bubble tea with "less ice" at many other establishments with no issues. When I complained, I was told to get out. When I asked the man's name, he refused to tell me. Needless to say, if you want good service, STAY AWAY!!! Food was OK but there are definitely better pho places in town.

Lunch was ok. Ordering was a bit of a challenge due to language skills but we managed. Fare is routine, not bad, but nothing special either, rather bland. Didn't give me a lime, and the vermicelli came with no sauce or flavoring so I improvised with the hoisen sauce on the table. Forks not provided, you must ask for them-fyi. All in all, there are other places I would recommend first before this place

This is a high quality, reasonably priced pho restaurant. Service is quick and friendly, food is high quality. Tried other pho restaurants in K-W and this is the best.

I go there all the time, def good food, good price (:
their soup is def good and their rice dishes are my fav as well
(:

worth a try

Awesome food, WAY better Vietnamese than Benh Than. We regularly eat at the King St location and find the food superior to the one on Victoria. The other reviewer nailed it when he described the decor as "ghetto". That being said, in a strange way it feels just about right. From what I hear, most Pho places in Vietnam range from institutional to grubby just like this one. Benh Than is the place to go if you want *much* nicer decor (at the expense of the food unfortunatley). The service is incredibly fast but things come out as they're ready, not in course order. The price is unbeatable, where else can you have freshly-made, delicious and nutritcious food for under $6?
Highly recommended:
Pho with rare beef (do use the lime, fresh herbs and chili sauce, without them it's non-descript)
Bun (rice noodles ith spring roll and grilled pork)
Cold rolls with shrimp & grilled pork.
Vietnamese rolls (spring rolls)
YUMMY!!

I've been to both locations and find this to be the more clean and the more friendly. Reading other reviews reveals that this may be only some of the time, but my experiences have been good. I love the quality of the ingredients, and the speed and price point make it a great lunch spot. My only issue to raise would be that if you have a stomach which does not handle hot/spicy food well, your menu options are limited.

Everything was amazing except im asian and i had no service i had to get my own water and take out boxes. Also, the spring rolls came out last and it was suposed to be our appitizer. The noodles mixed veggies tast old not only the veggies but the noodles didn't seem fresh at all. I went the second time and nothing changed. I go to other resturants that serve the same food cuisine and taste fresher and cleasner. Maybe the prices have a difference because the food's habitat is probably not clean here.

I have been there numerous times.The food is always fast,fresh and delicious.Friendly staff make this an enjoyable meal every time.Have not been disappointed yet.(and dont expect to be) I would recommend this place to all my friends and family!One of Kitcheners hidden treasures!
