Song Huong

Go with the pho: In pursuit of hot soup in Calgary

If you crave pho authenticity, look no further than Song Huong on the east end of International Avenue just North of Elliston Park. The restaurant offers the standard pho variations as well as some unique, standout dishes. The place is particularly known for its bun bo Hue, a flat rice noodle pho with beef shank, Vietnamese sausage and pig blood jelly (more delicious than it sounds) with a lively, spicy broth. Just a note: this place is packed on weekends and is cash only.
