I went there for the first time for supper on Tusday night for supper with my girlfriends. I ordered chicken & I started eating it & it smelled. I then noticed that it was raw 🤮
I immediately stopped & I ended up going to the hospital sick with Salmonella. I made a report at the hospital because they asked me where & what I ate. It is totally unacceptable & disgusting. The hospital will be sending there report to the Health Department. STAY AWAY !

Je n'ai jamais expérimenté une telle texture sur des crevettes. Était-ce un mauvais rêve? J'aurais préféré…

?J'ai commandé la soupe tonkinoise au boeuf saignant & l'expérience est impeccable.
? La viande est arrivée parfaitement tranchée & très tendre.
Le ?bouillon est riche, parfumé & encore bien chaud à la livraison.
?Les herbes & les garnitures qui accompagnent la soupe, sont croquantes & généreuses.
?C'est rare qu'un Pho livré soit aussi bon qu'au restaurant, mais I am pho relève le défi haut la main. Je recommande sans hésiter ! Je fais quand même réchauffer à la maison, j'adore quand c'est bouillant

A bit of well done flank . One piece of tendon , one piece of tripe, half a beef ball & no red raw beef. Shrinkflation maybe. All in a lukewarm tasteless broth. Definitely not the same as St. Mathieu location. Seems like new admins. Disappointing

The people are very nice & the food delicious. We need to leave the cell phone that sends the music to the speaker next to the speaker. Otherwise, there is interference. The music volume could also be lower (but I am sensitive). It is the place to go when you feel like crap. Ambiance super decontractée. Clientèle étudiante & asiatique sympathique.

We went there on Christmas Eve to have a family meal. According to the schedule, the restaurant was supposed to open at 10:00 a.m., but even after waiting until 11:30 p.m., it still had not opened. During holidays, it seems important to call ahead & confirm before visiting.

Nice place overall, though parking is a bit of a headache-but that's more of a city problem than the restaurant's fault 🚗💨. We were seated very quickly, which was a big plus, & the staff were genuinely friendly & welcoming 👍

The food was good, but not outstanding. The soup itself was nice & comforting, but the noodles didn't really do it for me. They didn't taste homemade, & honestly, I don't think they were the right type of noodle for a proper pho 🤷?♂?🍜.

Overall, it was a decent pho experience & we did enjoy our meal. I'd rate the food 3 out of 5 ⭐⭐⭐ - it was good, but not very flavorful. Personally, I wouldn't come back a second time, mainly because I've had much better pho at other places. Still, not a bad spot if you're in the area & want something quick & comforting.
