Across many reviews, I AM PHO is seen as a cozy, welcoming spot with rich broth, generous portions, and consistently tasty pho, while the staff are frequently described as friendly and attentive and service is often praised as quick, especially for takeout. The broth is repeatedly highlighted as flavorful and the noodles and beef tender, with mentions of fresh ingredients and good value. Some critiques note occasional inconsistencies in meat quality or flavor, overly salty broth, or bland notes in certain bowls, and a few comments point to packaging issues or cramped spaces; overall, the place is regarded as a reliable go to for authentic Vietnamese pho and a pleasant dining or pickup experience, with visitors calling it a standout in the area and noting improvements at newer locations.
Super good, we came unannounced as a group of 8 & service was impeccable. No surprise here, love this chain, congrats on the Verdun location. Food is great as always. I'd recommend their Bun bo hue or their Com ga nuong
✨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!
Excellent food, excellent service, especially from the one girl with the red hair she's too kind & always smiling, I think her name is Tamara? Anyways I truly recommend this place :)

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.
The best Vietnamese dish I've ever had!!! The spicy beef soup was soooooooo amazing!!! Good place, cute atmosphere, nice staff, everything is perfect. I'm sure to come back again to try all dish on the menu:)

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!
