I'm so happy to find a halal pho restaurant in Montreal. I ordered the Beef Pho, Chicken Spring Rolls, & Chicken Fried Rice.

The chicken fried rice was absolutely delicious, & the seasoning was perfect. It tasted just like authentic Indonesian fried rice. The chicken spring rolls were crispy & flavorful, & the Beef Pho was also excellent, with a generous amount of tender beef.

The restaurant staff were very friendly & welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant!

The owner is really nice & loves to get to know the customers. I came all the way from New Jersey, USA to try Halal Pho for the first time & it was amazing! Flavorful with loads of toppings to add on the side. I got some complimentary green tea with my meal too. Nice Bangladeshi/Vietnamese fusion. 🇧🇩🇻🇳

We absolutely loved our visit ( they are very close to the canal as well ) The staff were extraordinarily friendly & accommodating. When our baby threw a tea glass, they came over right away, not with frustration but with kindness & smiles, making sure we were okay. It's rare to find a place with such heart. The halal Vietnamese dishes were delicious ,we ordered the Banh Mi Sandwich & beef pho as well, everything was delicious including the complimentary tea. Highly recommend !!

Stopped in at 10PM one evening to get a bowl of halal pho. I was pleasantly surprised to see the restaurant was super busy which just added to the cozy feeling.

The food was excellent & a large portion. The service was a little slow but only because it was unexpectedly busy. The service itself was excellent.

I would come again! Also, it's nice to see a family run restaurant & one that could fit a group of friends since they had several tables.

The food was incredible & staff was really friendly. Just one little thing that could be better is the door at the entrance that wasn't closing completely each time it was opened by someone, so the cold air could come in. But besides that, I recommend it 100% if you want good food & that is halal.

A cute gem ✨? located a few minutes from downtown. They start you up with green tea that sets tone & cleanses your palate. We order the vermicelli grilled chicken🍲 & the Beef Pho 🍜
Everything was yummy but the dish that truly shined through was the Beef Pho🍜
The broth was rich & deep in flavor.
- Probably one of the few halal Pho options in MTL
