Pho Dac Biet (Phở Đặc Biệt) is the special, fully-loaded version of Vietnam's most iconic noodle soup. At TNK Vietnamese Restaurant in NE Calgary, our broth is slow-simmered for over 12 hours with beef bones, charred ginger, onion, star anise, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom — the traditional method that produces the deep, clean, complex flavour Vietnamese pho is known for. Each bowl is built on tender rice noodles and finished with rare beef, well-done brisket, springy beef balls and silky tendon.
Pho Dac Biet is served the authentic way — alongside a generous plate of fresh Thai basil, bean sprouts, lime wedges and sliced chili so you can finish the bowl exactly to your taste. It is the ideal introduction to Vietnamese food for newcomers and a true comfort dish for regulars. If you are looking for the best pho in northeast Calgary, our Pho Dac Biet has built a loyal following among customers across Monterey Park, Temple, Pineridge and beyond.
How We Make It
Our kitchen prepares fresh broth daily, never from concentrate. The beef is sliced thinly and added raw so it cooks gently in the hot broth at the table — preserving its tenderness. Brisket is braised separately to remain juicy, and beef balls are sourced from a trusted Vietnamese supplier for that classic bouncy texture.
