Pho Dau Bo Restaurant in Kitchener

Lovely food made by lovely people

Prices havent changed in years , service was great, food was fantastic. Couldnt ask for more

Everything is delicious except Pad Thai

Always great food and fast service! One of my favorites

Same delicious Pho every time. I ask for extra extra hoisin and onions and they accommodate perfectly. So friendly when you come in to pick up. Thanks guys!!!

Chicken was dry but service was good.

Pho was delicious. Whoever made that broth should be proud. Service was kind and very quick. Went in wet and cold. Came out alive with a reason to live.

Love it, great selection of asian food for decent price.

My only suggestion is please try to bring all meals at once..

After years of being here its still the same great place, great staff, great prices and fantastic food. Every time I go somewhere else Im disappointed. This is my staple for sure

Very delicious!

Our go to spot for Pho in KW! Quick service for both take-out and dine in.

Delicious food. Sometimes super busy and not enough seating but that shows you how good the food is

Great food and service, I loved their soups and combo plates.

Great pho. Good service and convenient location. Would give the food a 5 start but sometimes you get that mystery meat in you pho and Im personally not a fan of that. But the broth and noodles are incredible. When I get the Pho Ga I ask for white meat only.

Excellent! Always come here.

Food is great and service is fast. Never a long wait even when its busy.

Amazing soup..great service...reasonably priced...

I ordered pad kee Mao, got hardly any noodles, full of veggies. The service you get from servers is just poor and not a great atmosphere, the place is not welcoming at all

Soup looked good. I got the Thai Red curry and it was not great. Just huge chunks of almost raw potato and carrots. Weird choice for a Thai curry.

I hate to review this Pho place so poorly. This business has TERRIBLE service. They never add or remove the things I ask for when I order. Every time I ask for extra garnish and 1 extra lime with my pho Dac Biet... they always acknowledge and say yes yes okay. But there is never extra garnish or 1 extra lime. I will not be ordering from here again. I was a regular here as well. Im going to Pho Tran from now on.

It was okok.

Weary nice place food is exelen

Great food

This has become one of my go-to spots for a quick bite or take out. Food and service are both on point. Very affordable - a big meal for 2 is around $30.

Nice food, affordable prices, clean and organized.

Ill definitely go back here.The food was delicious, not too salty. I had the beef/shrimp spring rolls, beef/tripe soup, side of pork skin, and soda with condensed milk and yolk. Tea was served as soon as we sat down. Menu includes Vietnamese and Thai dishes. Great service, and lots of parking. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options. Dietary restrictions: There are vegan, vegetarian, onion/garlic-free, and gluten-free options. Parking: Its a strip plaza, so lots of parking. Kid-friendliness: The place has tables and booths. Wheelchair accessibility: The door is on ground level, no steps.

I just ate an hour ago.. soup and crispy rolls.. I took a bite of the rolls.. seemed a bit cold.. so I dipped in soup.. got home. I ve never been so sick.. never again !!!

Foods were very good but can be very busy sometimes. But service was good. Very good place for Vietnam and Thai food.

Food was very flavorful, portions are a bit smaller than I expected, but youll leave with your pho cravings satisfied. I got the lychee bubble tea, not sure if there was any tea, but tasted like a lychee drink. Tapioca was well made. I got special beef pho, very tasty broth. Restaurant ambience is nice and cozy.

Not what it used to be. My most recent visit I ordered #322 which is rare beef and brisket pho but instead I got rare beef (which was brown in the middle) and 3 pieces of beef fat. Not even tendon, just fat. The spring roll was burnt and had nearly no protein. The pho broth was very salty with little taste.

This place is a staple For a solid bowl of Broth. The people are super nice and their prices are very reasonable.

Ive been going here for over 10 years! Always awesome! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free Recommended dishes Pho Tai Bo Vien

Good Pho

Best Pho and fried rice..

Good for reasonable price. You dont have to break your bank for a date night. Tasty food and a variety of options.

I always order the same items for pick up but bet that the entire menu is delicious!

This place messed up my take out order when I said something they offered to make me a new one and told me to keep the wrong one when I went back in to pick up told me I had to pay for there mess up will never go back to this location employee need to learn to honor what they say or be fired before Id ever consider this place again

Great food for reasonable price

One of the places you don t care for atmosphere because the food is so good. Prices even great! buy their special pho bowl if you re really hungry! Can t wait to go again!

The vegetarian pad thai was basically rice noodles drenched/ soaked in pad thai sauce. They also skimped on the vegetables in it. The steam rice is a bit on the undercooked side so I often have heartburn or indigestion after I eat it. Dont think I ll come back here again. Our tummies didnt feel good after eating the food here.

The food is great a strong four stars, but the price is five stars.

I drive 40 minutes just to come here for their pho. The broth is unmatched.

Best Tom Yum Soup! Spicy, sweet and sour perfect combo.

Dined her last night. Food was really good and tasted fresh. Establishment was super clean. Service was friendly.

Wonderful fresh salad roll

We have been ordering here for years and never had any issues until we got the wrong order. We called the restaurant as soon as we realized they gave us the wrong order and they fixed the issue right away. We were very happy and will continue to order from here!

Lovely little spot for pho/Vietnamese food in Kitchener. Great value for money as the pho is of good quantity and the food tastes delicious. The place is small but theres a constant flow of customers opening up tables continuously. Highly recommend. Food is very reasonable priced and one of the cheaper spots in the KW area.

Cant justify the prices anymore for the low quality and quantity of food. Too many bad experiences, worst is watching disgusting and smelly garbage bags being dragged passed your table while you eat. Wont be returning.

Vegetarian options: Delicious meals especially their rolls and pho soups. Kid-friendliness: They are always very polite and patient very kind and give amazing options when not knowing what to try out.

Its Aff For Dable

I used to dine in here all the time, after their renovation, they change their waiters to a mid-age Asian women who only smile to old white dude(husband hunting i believe), she is super rude and impatient to rest of the customers, she will be yelling at you, throwing utensils hard to your table, and you can forget about the tea or water that supposed to serve. Lost all of our appetites when she s serving us. Now I would rather drive half hour more to downtown and have my pho over the pho Da bu there.

Good food at reasonable prices.

Pho shizzle

Pathetic. Restaurant sign and google says open till 9pm but, they don t accept customers even at 8.30 or before 9pm to dine in. False advertising. We have been there a couple times and been refused seating and sent back. We are returning customers and have been there in the afternoon time. Food is ok but bad service and hospitality. Please advertise time to eat in by 8pm and pick up only between 8 & 9 pm then. Parking: Spots available everywhere in the strip mall.

Excellent food at very good prices. Restaurant is a bit small so if you need a big table for group call ahead. Kid-friendliness: All welcome

Awesome food and service

Delicious, everything j cx is delicious :)))

Love the food

Excellent food at a reasonable price. Great service, friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be back here again.

Super yummy pho! The phonis authentic, also tried the spring rolls both fresh and fried and they are so good. We will definitely buy again.

Best pho in town been coming here for over 15 years. All their food is great. Fresh as it can get.

Good Pho, speedy service, low prices. We had 2 small beef pho, and a small order of the fresh rolls for under $21.

Place is clean and organized. Service is always quick even during busy peak times. Food is reasonably priced, fresh and wholesome. Lots of soup varieties for the soup lovers and excellent Phad Thai. You can order based on your heat/spice preference.

I ordered their vermicelli bowl noodles with shrimp and grilled pork. The food is amazing, the price is right and the portion is pretty big. The bubble tea coffee ( Vietnamese iced coffee ) is taste good as well. I highly recommend this place and their price is fair and worth it.

I chose a Singapore fried vermicelli rice and I received a very spicy vermicelli uneatable. I talked with a waitress and she told me that was not spicy but was only the curry. I paid for the plate but I didn t eat anything and I felt bad.

I frequently go there to enjoy vietnamese noodle with spicy sauce (we call that JJ special, you can not find it in the menu though). They also provide Vietnamese coffee. It is sweet and delicious. Try it.

good

Delicious food. HUGE menu selection.

Delicious and just great service!

Simple pho that taste good. Small place but lots of heart put into it.

Love this place. It s great, best in town absolutely my favourite pho in town

Vegetarian options: Rice noodle vegetables soup Food

This is our go-to place for Vietnamese food - the pho is excellent and so are the vermicelli plates. Vegetables are always fresh and crisp, flavours are great, and it s a great value for the price.

Visited many times. Their grilled meat with rice is excellent.

Come here every so often with my Boyfriend and it s always been a positive experience! The food is always super fresh and the staff are always attentive and friendly :) The food portions are really nice for the price and I always end up having leftovers! Their Pho and vermicelli bowls are my favourite. Their Vietnamese Ice Coffee (With Condensed Milk) is also super tasty! If you re in the area definitely try them out! :)

I always come here when I visit kitchener to see my parents. The pho at this location gives me the og feeling of the original pho da bo place downtown kitchener which has went down hill. The pho is a little salty but still has a lot of good favours. The staff is very friendly. 7.7/10 always a good time.

Im not much of a Pho restaurant person but I got the fried rice and grilled beef (509.E) and it was amazing! It was really busy but the service was good and I would definitely come back!

Good value for money, and generous serving size. Soup tastes great!

Today I invited a Myanmar friend to a pho restaurant, my hometown. Just got off the bus, stood in front of the restaurant and saw the words Vietnam **Beef Pho**, but I already felt the taste of home. Entering the restaurant, I had a friendly feeling like I was at home. Meeting the ladies, gentlemen and staff of the shop were very happy and welcoming. Im very happy to meet people from the same hometown in your country like this. I ordered 2 special pho bowls, the largest bowl. 1 serving of beef fried rice and 1 plate of shrimp salad. The guys and gals served very quickly even though the restaurant was still crowded with foreign guests. After waiting about 5 minutes, I smelled the typical scent of Vietnamese pho flying past me. Oh my gosh....! 2 bowls of Vietnamese pho appeared before our eyes. Its indescribable. Just 1 tablespoon of broth touching my tongue awakens in me a very fragrant, delicious, sweet taste, plus a sad taste that is the taste of homesickness. There were so many indescribable emotions welling up inside me. I ate while thinking about the days I was in Vietnam. The fragrant aroma and sweet taste from the broth and beef mixed with my emotions created a delicious and meaningful meal. The beef fried rice and shrimp salad are also impeccable. Very good. Does everyone know? My Myanmar friend is also difficult to please. But suddenly today I took her out to eat Vietnamese food. From the moment you start eating until you finish. I dont remember how many times he said Good...!Very good.....! I Like....! I want to eat more. but Im too full. Many times he said that. Seeing that he had a good appetite, he praised the restaurants food. Im very happy. Im glad that nature gave us the flavors and people of Vietnam to create such delicious dishes. Im also full and very full. I want to make another plate of fried noodles, but Im really too full. And I saved it for next time. Hehe. End the meal with a cup of milk coffee, also rich in the flavor of our hometown. Very good. Hope to see you and your friends again soon. Good food comes from thoughtful and skilled cooks, everyone. Although the restaurant space is not very large, the human emotions alone are enough to warm the souls of people like us who are far from home and away from family in a foreign land. Once again, thank you very much to the ladies, gentlemen and ladies at the shop. Kid-friendliness: I see a lot of kids coming here to eat. Looking at how delicious they eat, you can tell how much they like the food and people in this restaurant.

Food is very good. Good Location. Lot of other guests. I will go back to have Lunch and or dinner.

I retired from going here for quite a few years as their quality had slipped a bit. Came back because I started hearing better reviews. I highly suggest you come early for their phó. In the past, I found their soup tasted diluted. DEFINITELY not now! Broth was delicious!! Maybe its because it was lunchtime but it was still great!!! I truly enjoy #110, Steam Rice Flour Rolls with Vietnamese Sausage. The cost of coffee has skyrocketed, but still delicious. Give it a try if you already havent! Prices are very reasonable. I havent tried their broth in the evening, but we will see!

Great food, great staff

Food was delicious

Always our go to when were in town. Friendly and quick service with authentic and delicious Vietnamese dishes. Highly recommend!

Best place for Pho in the tri-cities hands down.

Really great customer service

Delicious pho and fresh shrimp rolls. Great portions for $27 I had dinner tonight and lunch for work tomorrow

Yeah, one of the best in KW. Taste is way better than some of the other, bigger names, and price is incredible! Fast, friendly service too.

Good fried rice. Nice people. Enjoyable atmosphere.

Phenomenal pho!!!! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options Food : 5/5 |

Been going here for years and the food is decent for the area.

Bun bo hue was so good. Great pho and spring rolls as well

I ve only eaten there 2-3 times a week, introduce many people to the restaurant, service is the fastest ever, if your in a hurry, in and out in less than 20 minutes,best value for your money, food is really really good and they serve Jasmine tea for free, authentically special! Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs to climb

Amazing!! Fried rice with grill chicken was yum!!

Amazing food, great every single time!!

Food is delicious!!

I went in @8:39 was told they close @9 well it was not an I was not offered a seat or able to order take out. Seem to me only non white ppl was allowed to eat. NOT COOL

Great food beef soup delicious

Good pho at cheap prices. Pho dau Bo Id very consistent with their quality.

Ordered two noodle soups today. No vegetables were included and no spoons or chopsticks/utensils.

The pad Thai was delicious.

Clean, friendly and also good food

Excellent, tasty, great prices, Ill be back.

The taste never changes! Very nostalgic to be able and have a great meal that hasnt changed in years. They nailed the recipe and dont ever need to change it again

Fast food pickup great food!

Flat pop. Missing snap peas and other veggies in pad Thai when it was on the menu. Very disappointed not going there again

Good price and quality. I will come back if I go to Kitchener again

awesome food.

An all around poor experience. Food was bland: pho broth was thin and tasteless; pork chops were overcooked and dry; spring rolls greasy. Service was disorganized and scattered. A takeout order we placed with our dine in order took almost 30 minutes to appear, long after we had finished eating, which meant we had to sit around, waiting. Just a poor dining experience, in both food and service. Cant recommend.

Pretty good

Great tasting broth. We always get take out and heat up the soup and meat at home. As one reviewer mentioned, check the basil and bean sprouts. We wash those at home as its not always rinsed well. Overall a decent place.

Great place to enjoy Vietnamese food.

DONT order anything other than pho. They don t know how to make THAI food

The food is good but they hardly answer their phone and it usually goes straight to voicemail. We hardly ever eat in and always want to do take out but can never get ahold of them.

Honestly was a bit disappointed. Given, for a place that had pho in the name, I didnt get any pho, so thats on me. I got the seafood padthai, shrimp vermicelli, and the shrimp+shreaded pork ?salad rolls. The rolls were great, the shreaded pork of it was pretty good, so Im assuming the rest of their dishes with shreaded pork is probably good to go with. The padthai didnt have that much seafood in it, in that it was mostly just shrimp, but it was more of the ketchup tasting padthai that Im guessing was just not for me. The vermicelli, I thought I was getting the one with both the shrimp and the pork, but it came with just the shrimp, so I found it pretty bland - but again, might just be me and how I chose what to get. I also found the noodles a bit undercooked. Overall, my experience was pretty meh.

Excellent food and great services, thank you so much

Enjoyed our lunch - Great Pho experience!

Menu has changed they no longer have grilled beef...Pho was good.

One star is an overstatement. I`ve been here few times and the waitresses always have been rude, but today was just over the line. She gave us unwiped table and asked us to wipe it. We had to move our own table in position, and then she threw the menu at us. We walked out before ordering anything.

Worst service mediocre food. Sunrise Pho is better

Vegetarian options: Lots of options. At least 2 pages worth. Parking: Large shared parking lot Recommended dishes Chicken Noodle Soup

This aint large lol portion size is getting smaller and smaller. Loved the place before, not so much now.

used to be very good but recently pho had been terrible, there noodles are always hard. the pho never taste good when a younger male chef is working in the kitchen. i asked for the noodles to be cooked long so that it is softer cause it was hard as if it was soaked in cold water for 2 minutes and served, and they said they couldn t and that they change to new noodles, makes no sense. given this place over 10 chances not worth going back to if you want good tasting pho. potions are not reasonable, I order the XL and there s enough noodles for a medium, and the tables are cleaned with smelly dirty cloths.

Really delicious food, fast service, and great portion sizes!

Great pho with great prices. I ordered a XL Pho and it was only 11.50. The broth was really flavourful and they gave a lot of meat too

This restaurant is definitely a gem! Tried it for the first time, had there rare beef and shrimp noodle soup,,I was blown away with the amazing broth and the explosion of flavours. Highly recommend this restaurant

Protocols in place. Clean facility. Good staff. Good food. Great service.

Delicious food!!!! I love this restaurant! Cool atmosphere, friendly people, but most importantly yummy and affordable dishes!!!

Great prices! Amazing pho broth! Great Thank options. This is our go to now that we moved to the KWC area.

Best food thanx guys....

Great Pho. Yummy

A great place to get pho.

Excellent food

Pho was great!

This used to be my go to pho spot, until i went for lunch today. I finished half my bowl of pho, and put a basil leaf in my soup. Come to realize the leaf was infested with bug eggs. After waiting 10 minutes hoping for someone to come to my table, i had to bring my bowl up to the counter, to show them, just to be told im wrong and lying, & those arent bug eggs, but its from something in the fridge. Yet those are CLEARLY bug eggs. I m not stupid. Didn t get one single apology, instead i was belittled. I understand you can t control nature; bugs are bound to lay eggs on fresh produce. But what you CAN control, is cleanliness (properly washing and inspecting fresh produce), OWNERSHIP, and customer service. Extremely disappointed with my experience today, and will never be returning. Tip if you eat here, CHECK UR BASIL

Amazing staff and amazing food. Go there every week
