Co Do Hue Restaurant

12819 140 Avenue NW, Edmonton, AB T6V 1P1

Bún bò Huế is a specialty of central Vietnamese cuisine, a beef broth with notes of lemongrass, fermented shrimp and a spicy chili oil that will warm up your soul. Served with thick round rice vermicelli and slices of beef shank and Vietnamese sausage, Co Do Hue noodle soup is a north Edmonton gem.

Lee House Korean Restaurant

10704 97 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5H 2L8

Don’t limit a hot bowl of noodle soup to just yourself; share the large stews at Lee House’s Chinatown location between two or more people! The Army Soup 'Budae Jigae' was a Korean staple during the war but still remains a favourite today. Who wouldn’t want a big pot of kimchi stew with sliced pork belly, sliced hot dogs and sausages, noodles and an assortment of vegetables? It’s a hodgepodge of deliciousness!
