At the time of this writing, we are still eating. The food here is phenomenal. Some of the best Asian cuisine I've ever had. The server/owner is the only one on the floor and she is a master of her craft. She brought everything out to us and specifically told us how each dish goes together with its respective sauce/spice. It's also a very small/cozy dining atmosphere. Would recommend it to anyone wanting amazing food and a small town restaurant feel. Will definitely be coming back here again.
The best pho I’ve ever had! We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here. It’s a great, family run business and they make you feel right at home. We had the chicken pho and it was so yummy, it warmed our hearts. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. I’ve heard nothing but good things about this place from friends and I’m so glad we tried it out, highly recommend :)
Visiting Camrose from Vancouver. I was very surprised to see not one, but two pho restaurants on "main street" while doing some shopping. For lunch today I chose Family Pho. Very good service: friendly, attentive, genuine. I ordered my usual, the rare beef (haha... I say the "usual" because despite eating at dozens of different pho places on the Mainland, I always have the same soup 🤣). My first impression was that the broth was a little bland, but I found that as I went along, subtle flavors undetected at first gradually became more evident, including an ingredient (???) that added some distinct flavor I don't ever remember from any previous pho I've had. Same with the rice noodles, ie. my initial impression was that they were undercooked. Not just el dente, but taken off the boil too soon and chewy. I actually was on the verge of sending the soup back. But I was starving, so preserved -- and was glad that I did, as in a couple of minutes, the noodles finished cooking in the broth in the bowl, and texturally were similar to what I've experienced elsewhere. But my main issue is the portion of beef: very skimpy. Which I actually mentioned to the server when I paid. Not complaining: I told her that the lunch was very good, that I was visiting from out of town and was glad I stopped in, but, that at most other pho places I've been to there's more beef in that particular soup. She was very gracious, thanked me for my feedback and say she'd mention it to "the boss." I'd definitely go back to Family Pho next time I'm in Camrose (and will certainly try the other pho restaurant across the street) but maybe order something else
I love this place. I've gone many times and have had the pho, vermicelli bowls, and spring rolls. They were all delicious. Tracy might be the nicest person I have ever met, her positive attitude always puts me in a good mood. Personally, I would use less packaging for takeout as it's a bit excessive.
The food was delicious! The owner was so kind and did not allow me to tip as she new I was a student. Such a kind-hearted person, its nice to know that not everyone is just in it for the money. Please support this local business!
Moved back to Alberta from Vancouver and was pretty resigned to never enjoying amazing pho again. This place proved that wrong! Great food, incredible chili oil, lovely host, and reasonable prices and servings. Well worth a visit!
Coming back to Edmonton from the lake and we decided to check out and explore Camrose. Stopped here for some lunch to take out and eat at a nearby park. Food was outstanding and delicious. Very flavourful and generous portions. Prices are very reasonable. The lady who helped was very friendly and accommodating. Can’t recommend enough! Give this place a try!
A genuine 5 stars ⭐️. Strongly recommend. We were welcomed as soon as we stepped in and they put on some music for ambience. They are very thorough with cleanliness, sanitation and food sensitivities. The food tasted amazing! We were pleased from the get go with the salad rolls. Everything was seasoned just right for the main courses. Tracy was very friendly and even gave some recommendations. Great food. Great customer service. I can agree with other reviews that this is the best Vietnamese in Camrose. Will be returning for sure.
Always 5 out of 5 service and food. Everything is just so fresh and homeade.
Absolutely incredible place. I ve been here multiple times with my family and it s always a great experience, they accommodated for allergies incredibly well and without any trouble and the lady at the front is always so kind!
LOVE Tracy!! Amazing food
Great food! Why didnt I start eating here sooner.
Good food.
Fabulous food, great portion size, doesn t skip on the meat and veggies and gluten free options were everywhere! Loved the service family too.
Great place and great owner :)
Delicious, family run Vietnamese place Very tasty. Amazing people. Food : 5/5
At some point I realized that Tracy knows what I like to eat more than I do. You can always count on the quality and the consistency. Love this place forever.
This was our first time here. The food was amazing. Service was great, she explained a lot about the food, and my husband enjoyed their homemade spicy sauce very much. We will definitely return!
Service was so wonderful. Food is so fresh and fast. Great amount of food for the price...Ill definitely be going back.
Excellent, you have to go and try it.
This in my opinion is by far the best Ph Ive ever had. I could eat it twice a week and never get tired of it. The owners are so friendly and really go above and beyond. Food
Excellent food and friendly service
Felt like family. First time we ate here and we will come from Edmonton again for this INCREDIBLE meal. The service was so warm, welcoming and really felt like family. The food was huge portions and so flavourful. The best Vietnamese food ever!!!
Soooooo good! At first glance we weren t sure about dining there because the decor was very understated, but boy were we glad we did! The food was delicious! Portions are huge! To make the experience even more incredible the staff was wonderful! We were treated to the finest service - 4 generations of family recipes, mama cooking the food, and the loveliest daughter serving us. We were in awe of her charm and warmth! Definitely recommended and looking forward to a return! If you like Vietnamese food, you will LOVE it at Family Pho Ever! 5/5
Good sauces, but unfortunately the amount of sprouts overcame the dish. It was almost all sprouts. Tiny bit of meat, tiny carrot, tiny cucumber, then tons of sprouts. So many sprouts.
Stopped in for Supper on Saturday evening with my Wife and Infant daughter shortly after 5 pm. The Restaurant was completely empty, but before we could even sit down, we were asked whether we were dining in or picking up. After saying we would dine in, we were told that the wait would be 40 Minutes due to a large order being called in and they advised us to go elsewhere. I can understand the waiting if the restaurant was busy, but I have never been sent away while being the only ones in the Restaurant wanting to eat.
Spring rolls are lights out!
Best food in town!! Every time I eat here, I feel like Im at home, eating my moms food. Hits every comforting spot there is, including the most authentic and super friendly service. I could eat here every day!
We were driving home from Sherwood Park to Three Hills and decided to stop in Camrose for some soup. My husband and I were so glad we did . We both had soup . I have never had Vietnamese Pho that tasted so incredible. It was like a burst of flavor with each bite . Along with great tasting soup the service was exceptional. The dish was explained why they make it the way they do . After when we went to pay we asked about Vietnam as she explained so many things to us about her homeland . Thank you Family Pho Ever for making our night memorable.
The server was very pleasant and helpful, and we even learned more about the cuisine. Food was exceptionally good. Being from Calgary, we regret we wont be able to visit more often.
Such good food. And the owner is great too!!
We shared the pork salad rolls, a vermicelli bowl, and the Bun Bo Hue spicy beef noodle soup. All were incredible, fresh and full of flavour. Excellent service. Not too often we stop somewhere away from home and think we have to come again, but this is definitely one of those places!
Best service Ive ever had and the food was amazing Im from Vancouver so I deal with lots of good restaurants but this one puts them all in the dust
Terrific food, good prices and very friendly service. Highly recommended.
Nice comfortable place. Friendly staff. Great food and service. Decent prices on the menu.
This restaurant could close early, yesterday we arrived at 7:20 pm at the restaurant, only to be told that the restaurant is closing and they no longer accepts customers while on Google map it says they open till 8:30 pm. It was a little disappointing as we were traveller from out of town and made a slight detour to stop at this restaurant for super. If you are travelling and planning to stop by at Camrose for this restaurant especially close to closing time, best to call ahead of time to confirm that they are taking in dine in customers before going there.
We had a great lunch here. Tracy explained the menu options, sauces and how to order in detail. We had vermicelli bowls with grilled pork and shrimp. We also ordered pork and chicken salad wraps to go and it was all delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Great place and amazing food. It was my first time. Tracy was wonderful. She took the time to explain the menu. I m definitely coming back next time I m in town. Thank you Tracy!!
want to say a huge shout out to the owners and staff at Family Pho Ever, i work next door to them and they are so kind and friendly. I love their Pho and they have the best onion cakes Ive ever had. Not only is the food the best Vietnamese food Ive ever had but the owners are so friendly and such good people.
Amazing food and service will be coming back again
My wife and I love this place..The food is amazing...And the staff are wonderful people..We recommend trying it out!!
Great food, I wanted to drink a gallon of the peanut sauce. Spring rolls great, sausage was very, very good. Waitress a sweetheart. Place could use a renovation, very dated.

Best place in town! Customer service and food is exceptional! Delicious and fast! The vegetables are the most fresh we have had ANYWHERE. The owner always remembers our order and is super friendly- she called me to wish me happy birthday after my husband picked up our meal and mentioned it. Recommend! Great to support amazing local businesses like this :)
Amazing food 10/10 and shes so nice!
This place is awesome. Very friendly and food is really good. Will come back.
Best Vietnamese place weve ever been to!
Friendly service, however, the pho wasn t all that good. Flavour was off, tables were dirty and the chili oil looked like it had been sitting unmoved on the table for months.
Amazing food, even better service!
Excellent food and great service! Highly recommend and will be back next week.
Just good food and generous portions.
I loved it, food was amazing
Excellent service and food.
Great dining experience, very friendly staff, and the best Vietnamese food I ve ever had
Best Pho in town. My partner and I love this place. 10/10
The best vermicelli bowl Ive had. Incredible customer service.
A great experience. Ive never been to Vietnam, but the lady who makes the food here is from there. I am told it is very authentic. I had the Pho house special.
Its hard to determine weather one should talk about the delicious food or the wonderful people first. Family Pho has both. Ive loved Vietnamese food for over 20 years, and had it all over the world: Family Pho is my favorite. They use the best ingredients, and all the flavors come together perfectly. The owners are super accommodating and will do everything to make sure you understand the cuisine and have the best experience possible. Id eat here 3 times a day if they were open for breakfast.
Great food and owners are super friendly!
Excellent. Want to go back when they offer dine in.
Amazing food and the friendliest people you will ever meet! Please support this place all you can! They take pride in their customers and what they do!
Friendly service, great food and good price. The salad rolls are delicious and the vermicelli bowls are my favourite. The spring rolls are good too.
Pork and shrimp salad roll with peanut sauce
Great Service, Very friendly and the food is Awesome, will definitely be returning!!
Its a pretty substantial claim to state this is the best Vietnamese food in Alberta but it gets my vote. While well known to Camrose, a lot of travelling through may miss this place. I cannot encourage you enough to make sure you check this place out if youre near by. The food is spectacular and stands well ahead of other Vietnamese restaurants. Everything from the Pho, vermicelli bowls, salad rolls and rice bowls are all amazingly good. Staff is extremely friendly, and seems to remember everyone who walked through their doors. They even explain where the food comes from, and how best to enjoy it. A must go for anyone near Camrose, or foodie in Alberta! Easy parking, with ample space, however not wheelchair accessible.
Absolutely our favorite place in town. Pho here is incredible. The house special is my favorite!
The only thing better than the food was the customer service. The lady that helped us was thorough and knowledgeable, very willing to make suggestions or tell us more about certain items. She provided us with extra bowls and instructions on how to take things home and enjoy. When we got home and started eating the food was fantastic! Easily the best Vietnamese food we have ever had!
Super friendly. Authentic as it gets.
Great food and service!
Like most people Ive eaten a lot of Vietnamese food and Ive never had it taste as good as it does here. I had their rare beef with meatballs soup and the broth was amazing. Such deep flavor that Ive never had anywhere else. I swear I could taste every ingredient. Even more impressive, its a mom and a daughter. The daughter told me that her mom has been making her pho broth for 40 years and I believe it. Even though the interior is nothing special, everything about that place feels like home. Cant reccomend this place enough.
You have to this place out!!! Good portions and great food.
The best Pho Ive had in Canada. Must order : Bún Bò Hu .
