Highly recommend this place for any meals of the day. I usually get their vermicelli bowls and the servings are plenty. The staff in the front are very friendly as well. Thanks again! Support your favourite local business!

Got all this since I was staying nearby and can see why it’s rated 5 stars and I agree with that. Made from fresh in 15 minutes and everything was delicious. Nothing to change. The staff are extremely nice and welcoming! Will definitely be going back!

Really good short rib plate with home made kimchi. Their salt and pepper chicken wings are also really tasty. The Pho is very good as well. They make their sauces from scratch. The lady that has always served us is so lovely. Even the way she says hello is so kind. The atmosphere is something that is typical at a small town restaurant, but they more than make up for it with the food and service.

A bit of a hole-in-the-wall spot. Nothing fancy as far as decor or presentation. It was very busy when I arrived at 1 pm, and sat at a long table with a couple of perfect strangers. The wonton soup was excellent, the service was friendly and efficient. Kind of a fun lunch experience.

Excellent customer service and tastes amazing! I'm currently road tripping across Canada and I was craving Vietnamese food for several days now. Thankfully my family and I are staying at a hotel in the area and stumbled across Pho Hao.

Delicious food. Very filling. The ‘Ultimate Stir Fried & Rolls Vermicelli’ was listed as mild spicy. I didn’t find it at all spicy so I had to add some of the pepper sauce. The dry ribs are boneless, which I like, with a lime pepper seasoning. Very tasty. I will go back to try other dishes.

My husband and I ate Vietnamese rice noodles and spring rolls. I added something with a strong mint scent instead of coriander, and it was better than I thought. I think I will visit again because of your kindness. The price is also good.

Ordered from here on skip for the first time. So delicious! We got two noodle bowls and I can probably say this is the best one Ive had in a long time! They did not skimp out on anything (particularly the veggies, meat, and peanuts), the meals were really well priced and came with a good portion and were very delicious!

The waiter is so nice and friendly, and the price is cheaper and the food is better than other Vietnamese restaurants in Saskatoon. I tried so many Vietnamese dishes in Saskatoon but here is so good and real Vietnamese taste. Although this is a small restaurant, everything is perfect for me. Although the restaurant is small and simple, the food is very delicious. Especially making fish sauce to eat with grilled meat vermicelli, broken rice, standard Vietnamese taste. The broken rice here is number 1. The patties are cut into big chunks and are delicious. Delicious marinated ribs. In general, you must try broken rice here. I have tried other Vietnamese restaurants in Saskatoon, I cant name them. Should try. - 11/10 points Hue beef noodle soup: rich but light broth, lots of meat (because I dont like eating pork rolls, so I asked to replace it with beef, the restaurant happily agreed), when you eat it, you know youll need to cook a separate pot of broth right away, not water. pho, then paste the beef noodles somewhere like Fuh Station please add a cup of chili fish sauce, great - this dish gets 10 points Wontons: clear, light broth, easy to eat, lots of wontons, sometimes the wontons are a little overcooked, so 9/10 points. Grilled pork vermicelli: 10/10 Pho: delicious 9/10 Praise and criticize, fried wontons are not delicious at all, 0/10 points I only dare to evaluate Vietnamese food with Vietnamese flavor. Dishes you should try at the restaurant. From time to time, the shop has many promotions. Cute, pleasant, enthusiastic staff. Luckily there is a restaurant in Saskatoon that doesnt disappoint.

I didnt expect to find good Vietnamese food in Saskatoon but was pleasantly surprised. Prices here are crazy low with the Justinflation we have to deal with, so $10 noodle bowls are a treat. I recommend the butter chicken wings, these were thicc n crispy with butter taste that went super well with the onions. Vermicelli was awesome too.

I just arrived in town late in the evening and I wanted a restaurant close to my hotel. I chose this establishment as I enjoy Vietnamese food and especially like supporting mom and pop businesses. I told the young man waiting on me that I wanted something with vegetables, meat and some stir fry noodles...but spicy; surprise me. He went in the kitchen and what they came out with checked every box....AND THE FLAVOUR!!!! Done up in the way that only being prepared in a super hot wok can deliver. Vegetables were still crisp, not soggy, and they still retained their individual distinct flavors, yet melded together with the smoky flavor on a bed of stir fried noodles. This place is a must visit. Rarely do you get a symphony of flavors that are pleasing to the palate. These guys deliver on that. It was so good that I ordered one more of the same to go. Well done!!!

Ate here and like others, it was okay. The prices are really good and the dish size was reasonable for sure. It was very easy to drop in and grab a bite which is a very nice thing. The food was as it should be, which is why I tried a classic meal but the flavours were very lacking and the meal was very forgettable. The deep fried spring rolls were okay, hard to do these wrong but the Pho was very bland and lacked depth. I added all the basil, added peanut sauce and it helped give some sort of flavour but ultimately I would pass on the Pho for sure next time. Nothing was wrong and the staff was helpful but the place feels dated and the taste isnt there for me to want to come back again.

My family and I have been travelling across Canada from Ontario to Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Bc, and Yukon and out of all the Vietnamese places we went to this one was the best AND the Cheapest!!! Large portions, taste was amazing and the price was the best. I would highly recommend going here. They also offer free coffee for those who sit in, but it was a bit late in the night so we skipped that. We also noticed that their breakfast prices looked really good too! If we were in town longer I would have liked to check out their breakfast too.

Restaurant lists Vietnamese subs on Skip. I ordered one and the restaurant called and said they no longer make bahn mi and misinterpreted what I said and took it as permission to substitute deep fried wontons instead. The food that did come was not good - the fresh rolls are small, the spring rolls are small and bland compared to other Vietnamese restaurants, and are wrapped in wheat flour wrappers instead of rice paper.

The details. Chau Anns offers a $5.75 breakfast. It is 2 eggs, bacon, sausage or ham toast and hasbrowns. I could talk endlessly about little critiques. Like I personally didnt enjoy the sausages but the bacon was fine. I am not a coffee drinker but coca cola was available. Toast was available either brown or white but it was not quality bread. Is it good or is it bad? People, for $5.75 it is adequate. I would say overall skip the sausages and have white bread.

By far one of the best small town experiences you can get in a city. Walking into the door made me travel through time back to my home town. Food was fresh, fast, and great. In under 10 minutes I had my order taken, and delivered. However I only had a toasted Bacon tomato sandwich. Very nice a quiet, with only workmen and passerbys stopping in. A great place to have a bite and coffee, even in the middle of the lunch rush. Wait staff was very friendly and knowledgeable in the menu. If you ever need to escape the rush of the city, which you will on circle drive with its constant traffic, this is the best place to be.
