Our slow-simmered beef pho enriched with house satay chilli — deeply aromatic, gently spicy, and finished with rare beef, brisket and fresh herbs.
Pho Satay Bo is for diners who love the comfort of a long-simmered pho broth but want a layer of warm, lingering heat. We start with the same 100% beef-bone broth we use for our classic pho, simmered low and slow with charred ginger, onion, star anise, cinnamon and cloves. Then we stir in our house-made satay chilli — a fragrant blend of lemongrass, dried chilli and aromatics — to give the bowl its signature reddish hue and spicy depth.
The bowl is finished with springy rice noodles, slices of rare beef, tender brisket, and a generous garnish of green onion and cilantro. Plates of bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime and fresh chilli arrive on the side so you can fine-tune every bite. It is a regulars' favourite for cold Calgary days and one of the most-recommended dishes for guests venturing past the classic pho menu.

"Pho satay here has the perfect amount of heat — warm and lingering without burning out the broth flavour."

"The satay broth is rich, fragrant, and deeply beefy. Easily my favourite pho variation in south Calgary."
