Reviewers describe this Vietnamese spot as comforting and flavorful, with broth that is often rich and fragrant, noodles that are nicely cooked, and meats that are tender, and many note generous portions, reasonable prices, and standout dishes like pho and bun bo hue along with satisfying spring rolls and desserts. The experience is praised for friendly, attentive staff and a cozy, clean atmosphere, though some visits feel mixed with reports of broth that can be bland or overly salty, not enough vegetables or protein in certain bowls, and occasional service that is not particularly warm. Verdun is repeatedly cited as a hidden gem with quick takeout and consistent quality, while a few guests say the Wellington or downtown locations can feel cramped or vary in flavor and portion size. Takeout and delivery are generally well organized and tasty, but a minority describe packaging issues or a drop in quality compared to dining in. Overall, I AM PHO tends to be recommended for comforting bowls and authentic flavors, with many diners planning to return and try new dishes.
Warmed up on a chilly -20 day with a steaming bowl of beef pho at this restaurant! Happened to be in the area for a massage appointment, & stumbled upon this gem. Satisfying & flavorful, just what I needed. Great spot for a comforting meal!
This a is one of my favorite establishments on the Well, definitely go-to no matter what time of day.
I typically get the pho, I've tried majority of them & they're all delicious!
Today, I tried the #17, as it wasn't quite'pho weather.' It was exactly what I wanted, as I typically get the grilled chicken pho (#13). But I also wanted their imperial rolls, so when I saw this option, I was excited!
The bowl was delicious, as expected. I don't know what it is about their grilled chicken, but I crave it often.
Lastly, what makes this one of my favorite spots is their host/server, Stephanie.
I've worked in customer service for over a decade & unfortunately, the bar is so low nowadays.
As for Stephanie, her customer service goes above & beyond. She's attentive, kind, has a positive attitude & does everything with a smile!
Don't get me wrong, I'll keep coming back for the food, but if I see that Stephanie is working, I'm more likely to enjoy a meal, the service & the atmosphere.
P.S. Today, they were playing slow jazz, which is appreciated!

was strolling around Verdun with no particular plan, just letting my instincts guide me… & wow, what a great decision it was to walk into I Am Pho! From the very first moment, the place gives off a warm & welcoming vibe - clean, cozy, & filled with that delicious aroma that instantly makes you hungry & curious to try everything.
We ordered a few dishes, & honestly, it turned out to be one of the best Vietnamese food experiences we've had in Montreal. The flavors were perfectly balanced - tasty, authentic, & clearly prepared with care. The portions are generous (you definitely won't leave hungry!), & the prices are more than fair for the quality & quantity they offer.
My husband ordered the beef pho, & I have to mention that it was the first time he ever finished an entire bowl - & that's saying something, since he almost never eats meat! I tried a few bites too, & it was absolutely delicious - fresh ingredients, great texture, & a comforting broth that felt homemade.
Without a doubt, I Am Pho just gained a couple of loyal new customers. When food is made with passion & respect for the craft, you can taste it in every bite. This place is a hidden gem in Verdun that deserves all the praise it can get.
👉 Highly recommended for both locals & anyone just passing through the neighborhood. Don't miss it - you'll love it!
Broth is way too salty & the grilled chicken was dry, flavourless & overcooked. The women next to me ordered the short rib pho & it was so tough she couldn't eat it in the bowl, she had to get a plate & pull it out of her soup so she could cut the meat off the bone & into pieces to put back in her soup. It's also pretty ugly inside.
Just had pho at this Vietnamese spot & it is so good. Friendly staff & the broth was rich & flavorful, the beef was super tender, & the herbs were fresh. Easily one of the best bowls I've had. Highly recommend if you're craving for pho?
Really like this place! The Pho has a nice, clean broth with lots of flavor, & the portions are just right! The spring rolls are super fresh ☺? Staff are always friendly & the food comes out pretty quick. Cozy spot if you want a comforting bowl of pho, definitely recommend.
This place is amazing! The pho here is packed with flavor-the broth is rich & fragrant, the noodles are just the right texture, & the meat is super tender. Everything tastes fresh, & the portions are big enough to fill you up. The restaurant is really cozy & clean, with a nice, relaxed vibe. The staff are super friendly & quick, always checking in to make sure you're happy with your meal. Overall, it's the perfect spot for a comforting bowl of authentic Vietnamese pho. I'll definitely be back & bringing friends with me!
