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.
Absolutely delicious Pho. Good sized portions & extremely flavourful broth. The service at pick-up was friendly as well.
The only reason I am not giving this a 5 star is that you guys have to do something about the take out containers. The large one holding the noodles/meat etc…'s lid is quite literally impossible to open unless you squeeze it, but the small one holding broth that sits atop the large one in the lid's centre was leaking all the way home, so Needless to say opening the large lid caused a mess & a half. The concept is great having one container fit inside the other, but the lids need a serious rethink.
Delicious!! The best I Am PHO location in Montreal. Highly recommend. The broth for both the pho & bun bo hue (lots of lemongrass, which is perfect) is on point.

The atmosphere was nice, the service was good, however food taste was off & water that was served to us tasted bad. I did not like the pho & only ate half of it. I found that the broth way too salty, lacked flavor, & maybe it's just me, but I found it strange to see big pieces of broccoli in a pho. I also had an issue with the water. It tasted like straight iodine, even after changing it. Overall, I was not impressed.
✨I'm so happy Verdun finally has a pho restaurant that gets it right. The broth is incredibly delicious, rich, flavourful, & comforting in every way. It's the kind of soup that warms you from the inside out which is exactly what I need to survive the cold in Montreal 🥶❄?🥶. The place itself is quite small & can feel a bit cramped, & the staff are just' okay'…service isn't bad, but it's not particularly warm or attentive either. Still, the Pho is so good that I keep going back 🤤👌🏻🍜✨
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.
One of the best Pho soup I've had in a long time! Broth is super delicious & is made with real bones (it has the'jelly factor' if you put it in the fridge). The menu is simple, ingredients are fresh, quality is consistent over time (I went there many times), the staff is super friendly, the kitchen is clean (you can watch them cooking), & the deco is zen =^.^=
When I order to go, I chose a time that is less busy & there is no wait. Of course, if you chose to go at its busiest, you'll have to wait between 15 & 35 min to get your order, so chose wisely! Waiting is a good thing: it means lots of people love it!
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?
I had such a great experience at this pho restaurant! The broth was rich & flavorful, not too salty, & you can tell it's been cooked for hours. The portions were generous, with plenty of noodles & tender slices of beef. The fresh herbs & lime on the side made everything even more refreshing.
The staff were very friendly & attentive, & the service was quick even though the place was quite busy. The restaurant is clean, cozy, & has a welcoming atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable for the quality & portion size.
If you're craving authentic pho, this is definitely the spot I would recommend. I'll be coming back again soon!
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.
