I'd say if you were craving pho and were really hungry, this place will satisfy. Portions a large and generous while still priced as most pho places. But when it comes to flavour and quality, this is where they fall short. I've had their pho before and it was just... meh. If you know your pho, you know. The depth of the flavour was just non existent seemed to just be bland. Today I tried their satay pho hoping this would redeem their regular pho. I was so wrong. I've had satay pho before at some of my other favourite joints so I know how it's supposed to taste. This one was just too watery and waaaay too much oil that all I tasted was the heat. 2/5 star because of the portion. Otherwise I'd have given it 1 star.

Food: was good. Big portion and reasonably priced.Service: I didn’t enjoy the service. The staff was not friendly and looked unhappy. I waited at the counter to pay until anyone acknowledged me.Atmosphere: nice big booths, atmosphere was nice.I do however have a problem with their cleanliness. A staff member was wearing gloves to pull the floor mats outside and continued to use the same gloves to work. I saw the same lady take a bowl that they use to serve pho to dip it into, what I assume, is a pot of bowling water, scoop water and pour it into a mop pale. Her gloves that she didnt change were dipping into this water and after she was done pouring the pale full of water, proceeded to put that bowl back with the rest of clean bowls. I only wish she didn’t wear gloves at all and washed her hands or at least see her change her gloves.

At best it’s edible and portions are a little bit more than the ones I have reviewed. Where it falls short is the broth. It’s on the bland side. Chilli sauce is flat and the salad rolls are meh. Definitely not a place I would go out of my way to eat.

Never order this restaurant on SkipTheDishes or Uber Eats- they will forget things in your order on purpose. This is the 3rd time I’ve ordered salad rolls and today I was testing this theory and they forgot a whole order again!

I hope the manager of this SUPER BOWL at Clarke would read this. It USE TO BE good.We loved it BEFORE and I would leave generous tips. NOT THIS TIME. We went last Saturday March 16 2024. VERY DISAPPOINTING. 1.The large was filled with way MORE soup than noodles. It was like a SMALL bowl of their noodles. It USED TO BE a super bowl, now it's just filled with soup in the SAME large bowl. It was half the portion of what it used to be. 2. The female server was unthinking and rude. She brought the typical bean sprouts COOKED but assumed we wanted it cooked . She even said " Are you going to make me take it back " or something like that, it was hard to understand her English and she was wearing a mask too. She said she brought it cooked because a lot of customers asked for it cooked AFTER she brought it to their table. But what she should've done was ASK the customer first instead of assuming things and then get upset with the customer when they want it raw. I thought the server was supposed to please the customer not the other way around. 3.The soup that accompanied the vermicelli bowl was lukewarm.4. I ordered #11 Which was supposed to come with RARE meat and fatty meat . It came not as rare but overcooked and the fatty meat was hardly there. The portion seem like a small order.I didn't want to bring it up there and then knowing that they would care less. I asked a male server if he was the boss's son as I saw him there often. He just said "no". That gave me a hint that they wouldn't care if I complained. If he cared he would've asked if there was a problem. I sense this by experience. I did not leave a tip. I always leave a generous tip at restaurants that give good service. I hardly NOT leave any tip. This time and another time in another PHO restaurant [ Pho 99 on North Road in a strip mall] both had snobby rude service. THIS Super Bowl restaurant charged a lot already for the large bowl of 'soup' so I paid 'my tip' already! The SUPER BOWL that opened at the Kingsway location has much better service. Go there if want good food and service! I sure hope they won't change!

Menus, tables and chairs are greasy and unsanitary. Service is garbage. Pho soup had rotten meat (taking a bite tasted like a dirty rag) and found a tiny piece of hair in my pho. This place is disgusting. Would not recommend, even if the portions are on the supposed larger side.

Some of the best pho I've ever had, definitely going back soon.

I stopped in for lunch today and was pleasantly surprised by the food. Large portions at a good price. Their beef broth is one of the better of the Vietnamese restaurants in the tri-cities.Service however left much to be desired as I was left to fend for myself and had to approach them to order. I would say though it was a pleasant sight to see they were vigorously cleaning and mopping the restaurant.

Was very surprised at how amazing the food was both in presentation and taste. For the price, the portion size is huge, and the flavour is really there. My beef satay pho was really rich and flavourful, and the spring rolls tasted really good. Will definitely be coming back.
