Pho Dau Bo

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!

I tend to prefer the Victoria Street location better, but the pho beef noodles here are very good. Service is OK.

What can go wrong with sticking to good ol' vietnamese? This one is just as good as most other fairly authentic vietnamese places around KW & Guelph. The atmosphere is typical too where there are a lot of plain tables and chairs stuffed into one big, open, bright room. Service was quick but that was pretty much it. Instead of dine'n'dash, it's wait'n'dash.

Reasonably fresh and tasty food, mediocre service, OK surroundings. At least it's fast and convenient

I have been here tons of times, they make it so fast and it is good. I also drown mine in hot sauce so sometimes I am not the best critic. I eat there and sometimes on lunch just get it to go, I love how everything is separate and you get it the way it should be when you're ready to eat for take out. I'm going right now. I also get the same thing every time! It's ghetto, cheap and delicious. Kicks the crap out of the paying $12 at Subway.

Typical pho places, but their food was good and prices are cheaper. The atmosphere/decoration isn't as nice as Ben-Thanh Waterloo/Kitchener, but food is better

Definitely pick this over Ben-Thanh if I want pho

We adore Vietnamese cuisine. Having recently moved to the area, we were pleasantly surprised to discover this restaurant. Service is prompt, food is hot and tasty especially the hot and sour soup. Fresh ingredients make all of the difference and lack of grease increases one's desire to return. Service was given "7" because in comparison to regular restaurant ie. Canadian, service is not the focus, rather the cuisine. Two thumbs up!
