Honestly the couple that run this place are so sweet. It feels like I'm being welcomed into their home 🏡and they just so happen to have dinner ready for me. 🥹 The PHO🍜 is the closest I've had to my friend's mom's home cooking!🔥 no one is better than Mrs. Bui's but this is hands down my fave place.🤗

28 dollars later and I'm writing the review from wendy's. I ordered there summer rolls #46 and a coffee.the main meal consisted of 1 1/4 cup of noodles 4 slices of overcooked beef. Teaspoon of carrots and less then 1/4 cup of lettuce.i read the good and bad reviews. I decided to try this place, my opinion is any good reviews where written by someone who didn't eat there.

I won’t ever go back to this restaurant It is run by an old Vietnamese couple and it looks really “authentic” Asian. (As in bright lights, dirty windows, clutter. I was excited… I thought maybe I had finally found something Authentic in Saint Albert. It would have been a welcome change from all the fast food that dominates the landscape in Saint Albert. Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the food. I ordered the satay soup. Satay is typically a rich peanut sauce that originated in Indonesia. Usually the beef is grilled and on a skewer. I was expecting a soup with a rich aromatic flavor of peanuts and spice. But what I got appeared to be just a bowl of bland pho. It was just the typical noodles and some boiled shavings of beef. It wasn’t worth almost $17! My child ordered the meatball soup which was really a small bowl for $7.40 I also ordered grilled beef on rice which was almost $16. The portion size was extremely small. It was perhaps 400 ml of cooked rice with perhaps 150 g of beef that didn’t even look grilled. It looked like they just fried it in a pan. There were a couple pieces of lettuce on the side. Really?? $16 for THIS? Wow Don’t go here We literally had to drive over to the Costco and get a hotdog because we were still hungry.

I have never had a problem with this place. I alway enjoy the food so much. This is the only pho I'll go to as I dont like the flavors of others. Thank you both for always taking care of my food. 100% best ever

You will not find another restaurant in St. Albert, that will feed you this well for this fair of a price. The pho here is incredible and the kitchen has the comfort of home. If you are choosing between Pho Anh Sang, and another option, choose Pho Anh Sang

Ordered skip the vermicelli bowl that I always get from all pho places, couldn’t believe how small the portion was! Don’t think I had even 3 pcs of lettuce or veggies, not to mention bland as hell. Never again

My favourite place to go for Pho. The service is outstanding, every time I come here they make me feel like family. They frequently stay open late if i place an order to go around closing time which is so above and beyond. It’s nice spending your money somewhere that shows you so much appreciation for your business!

What. The. Hell. We just ordered Two Pho's and this place did not have much broth at all. This is half of what a normal serving should be. As a Viet I'm ashamed this restaurant is in business. Barely any soup.

Pho Anh Sang is our Vietnamese go-to for good food and fast service. They are one of the few open on Mondays and both lunch & supper times. Friendly husband/wife team with tasty bone broth pho soups, vermicelli and hot grill dishes. Kid-friendliness: They have a pho soup for kids $6. My son says its the best broth ever

The lady was friendly but when she got it home the portion of chicken was very tiny on the chicken/rice and roll meal. Maybe an ounce of chicken if that. Taste was ok but ripped off for amount given sorry to say.

★★
December 23, 2022

Good and Bad, Good being the grilled beef salad roll and peanut sauce, perfection. The bad being the super salty broth and the super salty customer service. Not only kinda rude over the phone, but was looked at with disgust as I paid for cash , two years into the pandemic- figure it out or tell me it s debit/credit only.

I go to a lot of Pho places. This is my favourite by far. Not the most well kept place, Vietnamese soap operas on the TV, ancient cook, food is OK....but, its what I picture a restaurant looking like and feeling like in Vietnam...Love it!!

December 23, 2022

Yikes. Do not recommend. Restaurant was dirty and smelled of sewer. Food was dry and lacking freshness.

There isnt a lot of options in St Albert for Vietnamese food, thankfully Pho Anh Sang is good with fair prices.

December 23, 2022

Not worth the try. Place was dead with piles of dirty dishes and papers everywhere. Man rolled his eyes when I said we were there for dine in. Green onion cake was standard. Pho was the worst Ive tried - salty, small portion, and looked unappetizing.

We ordered 2 sate phos... there was 0 flavor.. I mean it literally tasted like water with noodles and meat. The portions are tiny as well. Not impressed and wont order from here again.

Very kind owner, good food. I ve been ordering takeout last two weekends, and their pho warms me up so well. Definitely going back!

December 23, 2021

Went here for a quick bite to eat with a friend, awhile back. It was about an hour before closing time, the place was empty and we wanted it to go. We were handed menus and as we were deciding, I m assuming one of the owners asked us to Hurry up and decide because they re closing up early! which I found extremely rude. After that we just decided to get up and leave.

Truly awful. No flavour, small portions, and got sick multiple times from the food. My review is based on the 3+ chances I gave this place and I will never order from here again.

Small portions, decent quality food but a little overpriced for what you get. They tried to charge me 75cents for a little chili sauce which if I could eat at the restaurant would have been free, not cool.

December 23, 2020

Was going to this place for pho for over 7 years, I was a regular ate here a couple times a week. Then the quality slowly went downhill, I got a hair in my summer rolls not once but twice ! The last time I went all the tables were sticky and when I told the owner about it she didn t apologize she got mad at me the customer ! Anyway very sad that such a good customer was treated this way they lost the business of my family, friends and myself for being lazy and not putting the customer first.

This is a small mom and pop shop. We stoped in and at first glace it looks like the seating are could use some love. There are some spots where the paint is missing on the walls. Then we where greeted at seated. The people who helped us where kind. The food was just ok. I have had much better and i have definitely had worse. Definitely will give them a second try.

Ive had decent food in the past from here, but the last few times were disappointing. .this time, my boyfriend and I ordered off skip. We got a large pho, and a beef satay soup. The pho had no flavor, little meat, mushy noodles and barely enough broth to fill a small bowl. The beef Satay had no flavor . They also didnt give us rhe bean sprouts or any sauces. The spring rolls we got were soggy and undercooked. Over all disappointing and probably wont be back.

December 23, 2018

Super small portion!

Good food, nice and quiet usually. Reasonable prices as well. Its definitely not the cleanest place in the world. I do enjoy their vermicelli bowls, but their pho isnt as good as other places in town. Sometimes its nice to just find a quiet place to eat, and this is usually a good choice for me.

The Pho was very bland. I asked for peanut with it and there might have been 3 peanuts pieces in total. I also asked for hot sauce and hoisin sauce and they MIXED the 2 in the same mini container!!! Dont waste your time or money. Definitely wont be back!

December 23, 2017

Have come to this location a few times and left disappointed each and every time. Staff could care less if you are there, I would call them rude but since no one will actually say a word to you is that rude?? Soups are super bland, very cheap with ingredients (i.e few shreds of carrot and cucumbers in a vermicelli bowl). Id suggest going to second bowl in St. Albert if you have a taste for PHO and dont want to go into Edmonton

Went for lunch with a crew of 8. One other occupied table in the restaurant at prime time. Food came out extremely quickly - most of it was obviously pre made or pre prepared. Smallish portions. Coworker had a large chunk of plastic in his 5 color bowl. No drinks other than tea offered. Also worth noting is the bare electrical wiring with no electrical boxes hanging up in the ceiling at the front - pretty bad electrical/fire hazard. Likely wont be back.

December 23, 2016

This place is dirty and filthy. The food was bland at best and not fresh.

December 23, 2016

I just ordered take out and there is no food. The lady that took my order didnt even confirm what I was ordering. I am very unhappy with this and I will never be eating at this place again

December 23, 2016

The place is never open. Never tried it, but been there 3 times, never open on time.
