C'est dans un'coin un peu perdu' sur Prince-Arthure, p'tite place en toute simplicité hihi mais... Ça goûte le ciel, en plus du surper service, rapide & tout le tralala 💞
Arrêtez de faire vos snobs & vos fines gueules & allez faire un tour... C'est absolument succulent! ❤?
AMAZING QUALITY FOOD. I've had many bowls of pho in Montreal & this place has the best quality noodles & best quality beef, &, the broth & the vegetabes are fresh & aromatic. Once again, it's quality, & you just know it is.
C'est pas ma première fois, c'est définitivement pas la dernière non plus. On y était pour la St-Valentin avec ma douce moitié : super service, bonne ambiance & les plats son excellents !
Toute l'équipe est géniale, mais Noah c'est mon préféré!
The 2nd worst pho I've had in my life unfortunately. The broth seemed to be lukewarm & the noodles seemed chopped up, there were very many short noodles. Pho tends to be a very subtle & herbal broth but the one i ordered was incredibly plain. To top it off, they didnt offer any spices on the side such as chili oil flakes or sirarcha. They also did not offer any of the usual like string bean, mint leaves, or chili peppers. All I was given was a small bottle of hoisin & a small piece of lime on the side. I was feeling very uncertain even just walking in because it was crowded when I entered but seemed to be exclusively older white people (& I mean exclusively - I happened to be the only Asian person eating at this Asian restuarant during my visit). I chalked it up to just coming in during an odd time but I wonder if perhaps they've catered their kitchen to accomodate only this demographic.
