If you’re looking for thick satay soup in Calgary, try Song Viet in Chinatown. Another not so thick but decent satay place is Sunny’s Vietnamese, also in Chinatown.

There is a PHO place Just off of 10117 101 St NW just off Jasper, Moon Garden that has a pho satay that looks exactly like that, minus the tomato. I fly from Vancouver to eat it

#20 Rice noodle with Beef in Satay Sauce

I think I am in love with this soup

I have tried over 20 different PHO places in hope of finding one locally as good, have not yet. Makes me sad

I have found two really good pho soup dishes (North Vietnamese wet style) sadly both are in Calgary. They both have beef and seafood arranges in a soup in the same manner you described in this article. I have been looking for something simuler in Edmonton for years now and can not find anything, I will try out this place and see what I can find with seafood in it as well.

If you are wondering the two places in Calgary are the “Bucrat Saigon” (may have miss spelled this) and Saigon “Y2K”. I make a point at stopping when I visit Calgary.

Try the Pho Satay (has to be rare, none of this rubbery beef) at Mina’s which is in the strip mall just south of the Holiday Inn Express and Calgary Honda dealership on Lake Fraser Drive SE. The restaurant is across the parking lot from a Tim Horton’s and Original Joe’s.

The broth is good..none of that chili oil in broth that you get elsewhere.

Also try their beef spare ribs….extremely tender and tasty.

Just came across this post while searching for a soup I had the other week at a Vietnamese restaurant here in Oregon. Aside from #19, the dish had “satay” in its title but I noticed it had a distinct pho flavor so searched those two words and viola, your blog!

Thanks so much for talking about this delicious soup. I’ve become addicted to it, just like you, and am trying to find ways to replicate it in the kitchen. I asked the folks at the local Vietnamese store and they said they don’t cook it (or like it much) and that it’s more Thai than Vietnamese.

This restaurant, by the way, makes a very hearty satay pho, not watery and thin

I think y2k’s satay may have changed, I had a bowl at the Macleod x Glenmore location that was unlike my previous “what do people see in this” experiences. Dark, lots of richness from the coconut, all in all very good. People I work with drive from DT to 65 Av x 9st N.E. for the Satay at Vietnamese Village on a regular basis; hey refer to it as crack soup they love it so much.

Mmmm, I just about passed out looking at the satay stew… I love the combination of things on the bun too.

I think the quality of food is the same at the south location – but service can be slower.

Is the Southside location same quality of food and different just for the decor eccentricity? I live quite close to the Southside location. It looks awesome- have to get someone to go with me- hubby can’t do Asian at all due to severe shellfish allergy.
