"At this tiny Alberta street cafe and mini market, the simple menu of homey Vietnamese dishes includes a vegan pho that’s worth venturing across town for. Thơm’s pho chay relies on an aromatic broth that’s robust and deeply satisfying, despite the lack of animal products. Diners may have to work their way through the bowl, chock full of Ota tofu, mushrooms, and bok choy, before there’s room to add in Thai basil, bean sprouts, and sliced chiles." - Waz Wu
