Reviews highlight flavorful broth, generous portions, and fast, friendly service at I AM PHO. Many diners consider it a top Pho spot in Montreal, with affordable prices and consistently good staples such as chicken pho and beef pho. The menu also features spring rolls and imperial rolls that are described as tasty and well prepared, with praise for the rich broth and perfectly cooked noodles. Some feedback mentions occasional inconsistencies such as changes in delivery portions, bowls arriving cold, and spring rolls that lack greens. Takeout and dine in experiences are praised for good packaging, warmth, and quick service, and loyalty options are noted with some visits receiving a loyalty card. Overall the sentiment is that I AM PHO delivers comforting bowls and friendly staff that attract repeat visitors, though a few reviews mention winter cold in the dining room and occasional variability.
I can't comment on the service in the restaurant. I ordered with uber eats & I was very disappointed. We ordered a 2 for 1 LARGE soup & we had so little food that we were both still hungry after our meal!
You can see on the picture that the bowls we practically empty. If that's a large soup & cannot imagine what a small size it is … don't get fooled by the promotion. It's a trap …
A soul-warming bowl of pho topped with a rich, fall-off-the-bone short rib, slowly simmered until impossibly tender. The broth is deep & aromatic, infused with spices, fresh herbs, & silky rice noodles-each spoonful wrapping you in comfort, warmth, & pure umami bliss. This is the kind of meal that makes time slow down & the outside world politely wait.

This is the best I am Pho location in Montreal (I've tried almost all of them). The portions are extremely generous & the food is tasty/flavourful & the chicken is tender!! The staff is lovely & friendly - & the price/quality is amazing. I always get the deluxe grilled chicken bowl.
I feel bad writing this because it seems like a family-run business, but the food has significantly declined. We used to have such great pho at this place but I was shocked at my last bowl which immediately led the question/discussion if these are new owners. Like others, I had previously experienced a situation where the place was empty at 11 AM but we were refused to sit 2 at a 4 person table. I understand the logistical issue of moving tables around at a small restaurant, but when the place is empty it's hard to comprehend that you can't sit wherever you want.

I came here with a friend & we had the bun bowl of chicken with spring roll & vermicelli. The portions were so generous & the flavour & freshness outstanding! The staff were friendly too. We also appreciated the air conditioning on the hot day.
When we got here, they refused to let us sit away from the door because we had to sit on a 2 seater table. Its particularly cold today, but I didn't let that bother me because, whatever, I understand. We moved tables after one freed up & it was cold there too. But a handful of deliver people after, then 3 other couples that came in after us all got their food before we did, which motivated me to leave a review. It's my first time here because the one close to our place is closed. (The 3 we usually go to are closed on Tuesdays). The food is like any other decent pho place. Only thing special is that their spring roll is wrapped w rice paper. There was a lot of beef in my soup, which could be cool, but it was over powering the soup. Could've made another soup with the meat my bf & I removed from our bowls.
Really good Pho. The meat brochettes were very nicely seasoned. The service was really good. The servers are very friendly. The resto is very well located, near the metro & close to bars, stores, & hospitals (for those healthcare workers looking for a warm bowl of Pho after work). Edit: still as good as ever!
Steaming, sauna grade bowl with a sizeable heap of assorted cow parts - last time I elected to take out the tripe & fat clumps, but they neglected to include me meatballs! Pho broth is fragrant & tasty, & their other offerings perfectly acceptable. Good spot!
