Is Costco Pho Good? An honest review.

Costco Canada is a great, great place to buy so many different things. You can get some great deals across a wide range of foods and products, including a lot of Asian foods and related Asian ingredients. Their pho, however, is another story.

At Toronto Pho, we make our pho fresh. Everything is in-house. Our chefs make the broth, cook the noodles, prepare the meats, and use lots of herbs and spices to get every bowl to precisely the right profile.

Normally, we wouldn’t subscribe to the idea of an instant pho being a tasty alternative to homemade but we did recently notice something at our local Costco. The SnapDragon Vietnamese Pho.

Is Pho A Hangover Cure?

Pho is a lot of things. It’s a warm meal on a brisk fall day In Toronto. It’s a filling, low-calorie dinner for the Torontonian who’s focused on weight control and fitness. It’s a reminder of their home and culture for a lot of Vietnamese-Canadians with connections still to Vietnam. But a hangover cure – that might be a new one for some.


Hangovers happen, of course, when you’ve consumed too much alcohol. You overload your system with various ingredients that your body’s not used to beyond just the alcohol. Things like dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and inflammation also all have an impact on how a person feels the next day after they’ve had a chance to come down from the highs of partying.


Just imagine, you’ve spent all last night circulating the city’s hot spots living your best life and having fun with friends, partaking in drinks, lots and lots of drinks. Pretty much engaging with all sorts of boisterous activities. Now, it’s the next day. Nothing feels quite right. You’ve got a headache. You’re nauseous. You may be sweating uncomfortable, be overly irritable compared to normal, have some muscle aches and fatigue, and more. Every time you open your eyes, you discover a sensitivity to light and sound. That’s incredibly common. So you try water and pop a Tylenol but it doesn’t seem to work. Nothing’s changing. This is where pho, hangover cure, can come to the rescue. After all, not all superheros wear capes!
