Pho Lien

(245)

Côte-des-Neiges

Vietnamese Asian Soups

Review Summary

Pho Lien is widely praised for its rich broth, fast service, and generous bowls that many call the best pho in Montreal, with some reviewers claiming it is the best pho they have ever had. The menu covers beef and chicken pho and assorted combos, plus fresh herbs, bean sprouts, and extra chilies, all served quickly in a casual, busy setting with small tables and a straightforward atmosphere.

Occasional notes mention August closures and the hope that a reopening will bring refreshed quality, while others look forward to returning after a break. Environmental minded patrons note that bringing their own containers to reduce waste is appreciated. Overall the reviews describe Pho Lien as a reliable option for pho when in the area, with a strong aroma and broth that earn high marks.View restaurant profile
