I AM PHO propose une exploration dédiée de l'art culinaire vietnamien traditionnel en mettant l'accent sur la préparation minutieuse de soupes de nouilles aromatiques. Le menu se concentre sur des bouillons riches mijotés lentement avec de l'anis étoilé, de la cannelle et du gingembre pour offrir un profil gustatif profond et authentique dans chaque bol. Des herbes fraîches, des germes de soja croquants et des protéines de qualité sont servis avec ces soupes fondamentales pour équilibrer le palais. Les clients découvrent une sélection ciblée de plats de nouilles d'inspiration asiatique qui privilégient la qualité des ingrédients et les techniques de cuisson classiques. L'atmosphère intérieure demeure fonctionnelle et sobre pour garantir que l'attention principale reste fixée sur la complexité nuancée du bouillon. Chaque préparation reflète un engagement envers les éléments fondamentaux des traditions de cuisine de rue du Sud-Est asiatique sans embellissement inutile.
I AM PHO reçoit de nombreux éloges pour ses bouillons savoureux et aromatiques ainsi que pour ses portions généreuses, beaucoup de clients le considérant comme une destination de choix pour une cuisine vietnamienne authentique à Montréal. Les convives soulignent fréquemment la fraîcheur des ingrédients, la qualité des viandes grillées et la finesse des rouleaux impériaux. Bien que le service soit souvent décrit comme rapide, amical et attentionné, les expériences peuvent parfois varier en ce qui concerne la température ou la taille des portions lors des commandes pour emporter. Si la majorité des avis mettent en avant une atmosphère chaleureuse et un excellent rapport qualité-prix, une minorité de clients a fait part de réserves sur l'authenticité ou la préparation de certains plats, mais la plupart des habitués demeurent fidèles, citant une qualité constante et un personnel accueillant comme raisons de revenir.
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!
